McCarthy Starts Secret
Hearings Into Charges Of
Graft In Govt. In Alaska
WASHINGTON, UP)— Sen. Mc
Carthy today signalled for secret
hearings to open an investigation
of what he says appears to be
graft in government spending in
Alaska.
Staff workers of his Senate In
vestigations subcommittee will re
port findings they made while
spending a month and a half in
Alaska ju9t before Christmas, Mc
Carthy said. They are Carmine S.
Bellino and Herbert S. Hawkins.
The formal start of the inquiry
by his all-Republican subcommit
tee came amid reports of new ef
forts to settle a row in which
its three Democratic members re
signed in a body last July.
A Democratic senator who
serves on the Government Opera
tions Committee, parent of the
subcommittee, said the new effort
may come to a head when the
full committee meets tomorrow.
McCarthy is also chairman of the
full committee.
Waller Glavinovich writes from
Detroit that he enjoyed making a
tour of the Dodge plant before
picking up his new Royal V 8
custom four-door sedan at the
factory, purchased through the
local dealer.
Ernie Gustafson of the North
Star Bakery departed for Seattle
yesterday on business relating to
the construction of the new bak
ery which is so badly needed in
this area.
Mr. Gustafson hopes to have
the* new bakery under construc
tion as soon as possible to re
lieve the situation and be ready
for the summer rush.
Three seagulls were flying over
the Denali bound for Alaska with
a deckload of cars. The first sea
gull said, “I think I’d like to get
myself a Ford.” The second sea
gull replied that he preferred a
better car. He was thinking of a
Cadillac. Then the third seagull
spoke up and said, “I’ve decided
on a Buick, and I’ve already made
a deposit on it.”
