Ike And Truman
In Verbal Duel
(By the Associated Pbess>
The political machine Thursday
rolled down the home stretch hit
ting on all six of its big cylinders
—Eisenhower, Stevenson, Nixon,
Sparkman, Truman and Taft—but
the cylinders marked Eisenhower
and Truman seemed to be knock
ing.
Gen. Eisenhower, Republican
presidential candidate, invaded
the home state of his Democratic
opponent, Gov. Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois, reportedly simmering
over the bitter criticisms Presi
dent Truman has hurled his way.
Associated Press political re
porter Don Whitehead aboard the
Eisenhower special train, wrote
that the long-time friendship be
tween the general and the Presi
dent appeared to be at a break
ing point as they exchanged long
range blows obviously aimed at
each others prestige.
Gov. Stevenson, the only one of
the top six not actually on the
move, was at his Springfield, 111.,
headquarters working on final
plans for a new campaign swing.
Truman whistle-stopped through
Washington State with major ap
pearances at Seattle and Tacoma.
He called Eisenhower a “front
man” for lobbyists and has ac
cused him of misleading the Am
erican people about the peril of
Communism after World War II.
Truman told a Spokane audi
ence he believed Eisenhower is a
good general but a poor man to
lead this nation’s civil govern
ment.
Eisenhower, in turn, has called
Truman’s administration a cor
rupt, extravagant, bumbling lead
ership, weak in morals and in the
pursuit of peace. He has dubbed
it a “scandal-a-day” administra
tion.

good with
a barbecue
outdoors—and serving Coca-Cola
with it makes it extra special.

Monopoly Charge
Against Alaska
Steam Dismisssed
SEATTLE, (JP)—Federal Judge
Dal M. Lemmon Wednesday dis
missed monopoly charges against
the Alaska Steamship Company,
holding that the ruling on such a
charge should be made by the
Federal Maritime Board and not
his court.
The steamship company was in
dicted in June, 1950, at Anchor
age, on a charge of acquiring “a
virtual monopoly of the business
of transporting persons and com
modities by water for hire in the
Alaska trade.”
The charge was brought by the
Justice Department’s Anti-Trust
Division and both a civil and
criminal complaint were institu
ted. Both were dismissed by the
judge.
The indictment charged that the
company acquired a monopoly by
merging operations with North
land Transportation Co., agreeing
with shippers for exclusive ship
ping rights and threatening to!
limit service unless shippers
agreed to patronize Alaska Steam
exclusively.
Robert H. Weinstein of the
Anti-Trust Division said the gov
ernment is considering appealing
Judge Lemmon’s ruling because
it “could be interpreted to give
regulatory agencies power to de
cide whether a matter arising in
the field over which they have
jurisdiction should reach th e
courts.

I’VE BEEN TOO BUSY TO ASK YOU TO VOTE FOR ME until now. |
g But now I do, and here is why:
1. I spent 31/2 years as United States Commissioner of the Cape Nome g
Precinct and during that time I found some glaring and some not- g
so-glaring errors and omissions in our Territorial laws. They are for g
the most part minor details too numerous to mention, but corrective g
procedures will meet with no opposition in the Legislature and to g
correct them will help all of us a great deal.
2. Because of my years as United States Commissioner I have devel- M
oped a keen interest in the development of our Division and have g
become completely and entirely sold on the fact that the Second g
Division, though it is the smallest in population, is by far the richest g
g in natural resources and “outside” appeal. g
3. Because of this sincere belief it quite naturally follows that I want g
to do what I am best qualified to do to help speed up the steps that gj
must be taken in order to bring proper recognition arid capital to g
this Division. I am not a miner; I am not a builder of roads nor air- g
g fields; nor am I a conductor of tourists; nor have I been here long g
g enough to become a tourist attraction, but I feel qualified to be a con- g
veyor of the wishes of the people of the Second Division to the 1953 g
Legislature, and I am confident that I will be able to present those g
g wishes to the rest of the Legislators in such a way as to sell them on g
our importance to the rest of Alaska and to the rest of the world to g
such an extent that they will enact the measures of legislation that g
tjT will best benefit this Division. In my opinion those measures are: 3
1. A larger portion of Territorial funds for Second Division roads g ;
g with the highway to Fairbanks at the top of our priority list and g
g a memorial to Congress on the same issue.
2. An appropriation to grub-stake qualified prospectors and establish j|
a prospecting program similar to that which has been in force in g
Canada for many years.
3. A memorial to Congress for the return of the Second Division Land g
g Office records to the Second Division where they belong. Our new g
g United States Commissioner could handle this work as she did M
!| prior to the transfer of the records to Fairbanks. The combined M
offices would fit well together and would be in excellent hands, j|
4. Appropriations for continued good work on air-strips and construe- g
tion of new ones where needed, such as King Island, Diomede Is- =
g land and other inaccessible points where flights are necessary in g
g time of emergency. g
In addition to the above measures I will make every effort to properly g
g prepare and introduce any recommended legislation that is brought to my M
g attention which will be of concrete assistance to the development of our M
g Division. g
I will determine to the exact dollar the distribution of all Territorial g
g tax monies and make every effort to see that our Division receives its full g
M share for proper distribution. % g
g That’s about all for now. You’ll hear from me again before election, g
H OCTOBER 14th. If my approach to this business of representing you at g
g Juneau seems sound, then your vote will be appreciated. g
Sincerely,
| Ted C. Duffield 1
