Rebel Marine letter from Acheson sparks White House clash
A rebel young Marine at Camp Pendleton writes that Americans see no cause to fight in Korea. Secretary of State Acheson replies that fighting Red aggression prevents a future world war and urges faith in American ideals. The exchange began when John Moulette, 24, sent his father a harsh critique of foreign policy, prompting Acheson to defend U.S. policy and civil defense amid wartime fears.

Distilleries Stock Deal Linked to Senator and Lobbyist
SAN FRANCISCO March 3 UP The Kefauver crime committee heard testimony tying former State Senator Ralph Swing and liquor lobbyist Artie Samish to Alfred Hart Distilleries Inc in 1944. Attorney C H Palmer said Swing and Samish formed a four year partnership with Hart to operate a San Bernardino bratch firm with large sales and substantial profits during the war. Palmer said Swing, influential in the California Senate, and Samish viewed the arrangement as a feather in Samish’s cap. The hearings adjourned after Kefauver pressed a broad probe of political contributions and tax deductions. Palmer detailed the partnership formation in Los Angeles and Swing’s role as a major liquor and race track legislator. Samish claimed no records of how he spent nearly $1,000,000 in lobbying funds, with 50 percent claimed as tax deductible.
