( THE FICTION—In full page newspaper advertisements the Republican candidate <

/ foreign nation." And he offers "proof" by printing a newspaper article saying that
) Japanese fishing boats arrived in Tokyo from the North Paficic with 66 tons o<f
\ salmon. This is part of the Republican nominee's campaign started last winter
'• to assail the Japanese fishing treaty.
(
• THE FACT—The Japanese have voluntarily entered into an agreement NOT to fish
\ for salmon east of the 175th meridian, which means our salmon ARE PROTECTED.
/ The expedition went close to the meridian but did not cross if; they caught no fish
} there and then proceeded to RUSSIAN waters where the salmon were presumably
i caught. Our law enforcement agencies know ALL about this expedition. The
\ Japanese fishing treaty PROTECTS Alaska salmon, halibut and herring from Jap
\ fishermen. The treaty was inspired and approved by John Foster Dulles. Mr.
( Dulles, not the Republican nominee for delegate, will make Republican foreign
f policy. In a letter to Delegate Bartlett, Mr. Dulles give his unqualified endorse
’( men! to the treaty. The treaty was ratified by the United States Senate. It was
\ ratified after hearings were held before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
■ It was endorsed by the Alaska Board of Fisheries, the Game and Fish Commissions
' of Washington, Oregon and California, and many other organizations and individ
\ uals. It was endorsed by the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., which would not likely
. assent lo a treaty that would curtail its salmon supply. The Republican nominee
( for Deelgate, after abusing the treaty and everyone who stood for it, did NOT
) take the trouble to go before the Senate Committee and make his views known.
) H didn't even write a letter! The treaty was opposed only by Seattle labor unions
^ described as left-wing.

j THE FICTION—In full-page newspaper advertisements the Republican nominee
• alleges the Democratic Administration appeases the "Communists by importing
( their furs in competition to our trappers. His "proof" is a newspaper article saying
( 1,400 bales of fox valued at $1,000,000 originating in Russia had reached Montreal
) for trans-shipment to New York. The Republican candidate then says in his ad:
‘f "You sold your rats for about 80 cents this year because of the import of 3,OOODOO ,
^ Communist rats in 1952."
• THE FACT—The Democratic Administration in the 81st Congress sponsored legisla
. lion, which is now law, banning importation of furs from Russia in competition
4 wlh those trapped or grown in the United States. That law became effective in
4 January of this year. The fur thus banned CANNOT BE SHIPPED to the United
) States direct from Russia or INDIRECTLY by way of another country. The Brilish
p American Fur Corporation of New York to which the "1,400 bales of fox" were
• shipped announces the fur was not fox but Persian lamb. Persian lamb is not
. produced in this country. Before the January deadline Russian muskrats number
ing 69,840—NOT 3,000,000!—were received in the United Staies. Those were the
last mskrats that will come from Russia because your Democratic Administration
{ has stopped this traffic. So the Republican nominee missed by only 2,910,160 skins.
4 And he neglected to tell you he is tilting against a windmill no longer there!

) THERE'S ANOTHER STORY WHICH NEEDS TO BE TOLD. IT HAS TWO VER

CANDIDATE WAS ACTIVELY RUNNING FOR OFFICE. THE OTHER WAS
4 GIVEN IN ANCHORAGE IN SEPTEMBER. 1951. IN HIS CAPACITY AS OWNER
4 OF A CERTIFICATED AIRLINE HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERN
) MENT HE NOW ACCUSES OF BEING "SOCIALISTIC." (THE SUBSIDY
) AMOUNTED TO $230,000 LAST YEAR).
* In Fairbanks he said of bush flyers and non-sked airlines: "I am in favor of non-skeds
4 and operating as many public carriers as will be of benefit."
- In Anchorage, before he became politically ambitious, he said: "To me it's the whining
4 and sniveling and bleating and blubbering of a poor loser. For years they've
4 been scraping the gravy off the airline business in Alaska, all the time breaking
) the laws."

4 In case the Republican candidate gets excited about the new immigration law, which
4 would treat Alaskans going to the Stales as aliens, let us remind him now this was
) NOT an Administration measure. It was vetoed by President Truman. His veto was
^ over-ridden by the familiar coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats.

Grocer, 3 Children
Killed, $7,100 Cash
Stolen in Calif.
CHESTER, Calif., </P) — A gro
cer and three small children were
found murdered Saturday on an
old logging road six miles from
this northeastern California town
in the mountains.
A fourth child was critically in
jured.
Robbery was the apparent mo
tive, for the grocer, Gard Young,
43, was carrying $7,100 in cash
which he had just withdrawn
from a bank when he and the
j children vanished Friday.
Mrs. Dorothy Elliott, who was
caring for Mrs. Young, said she
had received word that all the
bodies were stuffed in the trunk
of Young’s car.
She said all were horribly beat
en but it had not been deter
mined whether they had been
shot as well.
More than 100 citizens had
joined in a ground and aerial
search since the little group dis
appeared.
The grocer’s car, a 1951 green
hardtop convertible, was spotted
from the air early Saturday, but
Officer Jeff Cooley of the state
highway patrol said the discovery
was made on the ground by a
deer hunter who' telephoned him.
The area is in Lassen and Plu
mas Counties, in a rugged tim
bered region of northern Cali
fornia.
i Young, with his three small
i daughters and a neighbor boy,
i had driven from his Chester store
i to Westwood, 11 miles northeast,
• to- obtain money for cashing
i checks. They disappeared shortly
i after leaving the bank,
i Sheriff M. H. Schooler of Plu
> mas County said the child with
j Young were Young’s three daugh
| ters, Sandra, 3Vz, Judy, 6, and
| Jean, 7, and Michael Faile, 4, a
; neighbor boy, son of Mrs. Rose
t mary Faile of Chester.
JAPAN MAY BUILD
SAWMILL IN ALASKA
(By m Associated Prfssi
The State Department says that
Japanese negotiators have indica
ted Japan will send a technical
mission to Alaska to investigate
establishment of a sawmill enter
prise there.
An announcement on negotia
tions in progress here said Friday
the Japanese representatives in
dicated Japan will defer action on
production of wood pulp until
after observing 'the outcome of
foe sawmill enterprise.
A Japanese group, representing
both the Japanese government
and pulp and timber industries,
has been exploring with U. S.
authorities the possibility of ob
taining forest products from Al
aska.
U.S. officials pointed out, the
department said, that “an enter
prise sponsored by the Japanese
for manufacture of forest pro
ducts in Alaska for shipment to
Japan would rave to- be incor
porated under American laws,
bid successfully for national for
est timber, and conform to all
applicable laws, regulations and
contract terms in the same man
ner as its possible competitors.”
