THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRL - JUNEAU, ALASKA New Alrporl Site Is| Proposed, Fairbanks FAIRBANKS, Nov. lS.—-(M— Abandoriment of the Chena Ridge site for Fairbanks' new municipai airport was announced this week- end by Frank Gray, local CAA manager. At the same time he announced the selection of a new site near the end of Fairbanks’ present Weeks Field, the location originally con- sidered by CAA officials and the two years ago. The Chena Ridge site was pick- ed by the CAA after the closing sessions of the 80th Congress voted $12,500,000 for construction of air- ports at Fairbanks and Anchor- age. Building a field there would mean bridging the Chena River, but the “new site” lies on the same side of the river as Fairbanks. | | WHY PLANS CHANGED WASHINGTON, Nov. 15—#— The Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion said today a $5,000,000 munici- | pal airfield for Fairbanks, Alaska, will be built closer to the city | than had been planned. It said the change in plans will eliminate the need of bridging the Chena slough to reach the former proposed site on Chena Ridge. CAA authorities said a new site ! now being considered is on the Fairbanks side of the slough and approximately 6': miles from the Ladd Field.

Campbell, president of the Halifax Longshoremen’s Association (AFL), sald today this port’s 2,000 stevedores do not feel inclined to work on ships diverted here from strike-bound U. S, ports, “and have ceased to do so.” The longshoremen will, however, continue to work ships whose orig- inal destination was Halifax, he sald. There was no elaboration on Campbell’s statement. It was not learned whether his “original desti- nation” statement covered ships such as the Queen Elizabeth, which announced her destination as Hali- fax, before sailing from Southamp- ton. The Queen Elizateth ordinarily sails between Southampton and New York. Complying with the order, sev- eral gangs of stevedores walked off three big ships diverted to this port after having salled from Eu- rope for New York. The ships are the Mauretania, Britannic and the Veendam. i DEMOS T0 GROOM CANDIDATE FOR 1952 ELECTION President Truman's post-election hint he isn't going to run again has plowed the fleld for a new crop of Democratic Presidential con- tenders. With four years in which to make a record, two new Democratic mid- western governors may give veteran party leaders a hot race for the 1952 nomination. They are Adlai E. Stevenson, who WASHINGTON, Nov. 15— (B —! ,\\on a cmnthg victory in the poln.- tmportant state of Illmol; Frank J. Lausche, who over lcnlly were in control. Lausche had to buck the regular Democratic State organization to get the nomina- tion. Two other new Democratic gov- ernors may be heard from around party convention lime four years from now-—Chester Bowles of Con- necticut and Paul Dever of Massa- chusets. But they aren’t ‘as well placed geographicaily as Stevenson and Lausche. RONALD COLMAN STARRED N BiLl AT 20TH CENTURY Twentleth Century-Fox, whose film excursions into the field of best sellers have netted many a memorable evening for moviegoers, has taken “The Late George Apley,” John P. Marquand's delightful Pul- itzer Prize novel, and made it the sauclest entertainment of the year. Fittingly enough, the film, now rlaying at the 20th Century Thea- tre, has lured Ronald Colman back 'from his self-imposed sabbatical to play the title role. It also serves as & superbly effective springboard for the launching of pert young Peg- gy Cummins on a sensational movie reer, _As all who have read the prize- \vlnnlng book or who have seen the successful Broadway stage adapta- tion must know, “The Late George Apley" ting of the year’s first robin in the able excitement. But even in the town where the Cabots speak only to the Lodges, romance cannot be |stifled. And when the impetuous daughter of ‘the almost profession- ally conservative Mr. Apley falls in love with a so-called radical protes- sor (practically a “foreigner” since he wasn’t born in Boston), orni- thology is forgotten while the family enjoys its crisis. ———— ELKS TURKEY SHOOT ‘Wednesday evening, November | 17th, Elks Hall, starting, 9 o'clock.
