Judge Hodge Rules
Against Attorney in
Salinas Arson Case
A motion filed toy Fred D.
Crane, attorney of Kotzebue, to
quash a subpoena served upon
him, was denied by United States
District Judge Walter H. Hodge at
a hearing on Monday. The sub
poena required Mr. Crane to pro
duce before the Grand Jury state
ments made to him by Homer
Russell and Willie Thomas of
Kotzebue, which were to be used
as grounds for a motion for new
trial in the case of Natividad Sa
linas, who was convicted of arson
last April, and. were made to Mr.
Crane at the request of Salinas.
The United States Attorney, in
resisting the motion, submitted
affidavits by Russell and Thom
as, in which they admitted that
the statements were false, and
stated that they had been offered
a total of $3,000 by Salinas to give
such false statements to his attor
ney, throwing suspicion against a
third party for the fire, and that
after making the statements, both
men reconsidered and voluntarily
confessed to the U. S. Marshal
that the statements were false.
The motion to quash was based
upon the grounds that the state
ments were privileged communi
cations between an attorney and
client, and therefore he was not
compelled to produce them. The
Court held, in an oral decision,
that the statements were not priv
ileged for the reason that they
were not communications from
Mr. Crane’s client to him, but
were from third persons, that com
munications between third per
sons and an attorney were not
privileged and that the privilege
‘did not extend to actions which
constitute a crime or fraud upon
the court.

Seattle Discount House
Comes To Terms With FTC
SEATTLE, UPi — A settlement
was reached here Wednesday in
the Federal Trade Commission’s
case against Gov-Mart, a discount
house with a membership of more
than 70,000 government employes
or dependents in Washington, Ore
gon, Montana and Alaska.
The agreement is contingent on
approval by the full FTC in Wash
ington.
The FTC charged that Gov
Mart misrepresented itself as a
nonprofit organization because it
also consists of the Mission Sup
ply Co., its supplier, which oper
ates for a profit. The complaint
also said prices were higher than
cost-plus-5-per cent, .which Gov
Mart advertised.
Under the settlement, Mission
Supply agreed to refrain from la
beling its merchandise with a
“Gov-Mart price plus 5 per cent.”
And both the 'profit corporation
and nonprofit group promised not
to represent themselves otherwise.
Loren H. Laughlin of Washing
ton, D. C., FTC examiner who con
ducted the lengthy hearings, said
nothing in the record reflected
fraudulent conduct on the part of
the two organizations.
