THE DAILY VOL. LXXIII, NO. 11,241 JUNEAU AS SITE FOR ARTS COLLEGE BEING CONSIDERED Possibility of Juneau becoming the site of the first four-year lib- eral arts college to Le established in Alaska, appeared this week with two represemtatives of the Metho- dist Church conducting a severai- day investigation here. Rev. P. Gordon Gould, director of Methodist work in Alaska, and John O. Gross, executive secretary, division of educational institutions, Board of Education of the Metho- dist Church, have made Juneau their first stop on a tour of the Ter- | ritory to determine the right loca- tion for establishment of a college in Alaska. Plans for an Alaskan college are definite, according to the Rev. Gould, who said the church is at present raising furmds to make the project possible. Decision to establish an educa- tional institution in the Terri-| tory was reached following recom- | mendations made by Rev. Gould after almost a year's travel in Alaska during the past several months. “We feel that an educational in-| stitution of the type planned has a great potential to offer in the| future of Alaska,” Rev. Gould said, adding that establishment of a co! lege would tend to retain within | the country a number of worth-| while young citizens who now | often remain in the States after; going Outside for college training. | “Two factors are being considered | in the determination of the site,” Rev. Gould said. “One, is that the| college must be in‘ a position to advantageousity serve the Territory. The other is that the community | must be enthusiastically in support | of the project.” The two™ Methodist Church rep- resentatives will leave tomorrow | for Fairbanks and then go on to| Anchorage where they plan to join | Bishop Gerald Kennedy. | Hiss Jury Is Sent Back Second Time For Consideration NEW YORK, July fl—Mfl—v’l‘hei Alger Hiss perjury trial jury re- ported for the second time today | that it can not agree on a verdici | and the judge sent it back to try again, PASADENA LEAVES | The U.S.S.

The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON — It has been ten years since this column exposed the Louisiana scandals, resulting in the imprisonment of Gov. Richard Leche and various members of the old Huey Long gang. Today, the Long family and friends have staged an amazing comeback. Huey’s brother, Earl, is governor of the state. Huey's son,| Russell, is U.S. Senator from Louis- | jana. So the other day I wemI back to Louisiana—just 10 years af- | ter writing the first column on the | Louisiana scandals—to see how the rebuilt Long machine is handling its comeback. Things have changed a lot in 10 years. The name in the gover-| nor’s mansion is still spelled| “L-0-n-g,” but the atmosphere 1s| much different. It's calmer, less| spectacular and far more serious. | ‘* "Earl Long is giving the state| such an even-keel administration that it's almost humdrum.

Senator Mundt (R-SD), one of |work in Alaska, according to Clar- | a group of Senators sponsoring it,| said it would throw open the North | Atlantic Pact to any nation agrec-} ing to the principles of free Demo- | cratic nations. But members, Mundt said, also would agree to: (1) no veto powers such as Russia has been using often in the United Nations; (2) | no military use of atomic bombs, | (3) international control of atomic energy; and (4) an international | police force. i Senate leaders hope to reach aj| final vote on the North Atlantic Pact itself either Monday or Tues- | day. Fewer than a dozen Senators oppose it. Some, however, want| assurance their vote for the Pact| will not commit them to voting for the rearmament of Europe.

Keating, Territorial Super- visor for the Bureau of Census. A business census covering every retail and service organization in the Territory will be followed by a count of population, starting in April after the first survey is com- pleted. A short “trial run” here will be used ‘as a guide for the number of enumerators required in each area for handling the comprehen- | |sive questionnaires. School teachers are to do ali enumerating in the Territory for both business and population cen- suses, working closely with inter- viewers in the three district offices at Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks. Keating expects to announce the names of chief interviewers soon. ‘The business census originated with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and sponsorship was taken over by | the federal government. The compilation is intended to give accurate statistics on the na- ture of business establishments in the territory, the extent of opera- tions and services, number of em- ployees and other information. Each operator of a business es- tablishment is called on to fill out a detailed and lengthy question- | naire. Data is kept in strict con- fidence, and figures are classified, tabulated and published in such a form that the statistics can be use- ful to business itself, as well as to the Territory, lawmaking bodibs and municipalities. Keating, who had been for sev- eral weeks in the Seattle office and some of its areas of “indoctrina- tion,” returned to the Territory last week, geing first to Anchorage, where his home is.

The inciuent occurred about mid- night and Rice didn't recover con- sciousness until 2 am. when he was able to stumble onto the Douglas highway. He was discovered by Lou | Hicks of the Yellow Cab Company, |who drove the injured man im- | mediately to St. Ann's Hospital. Dr. William Whitehead was called and he took over 50 stitches in sewing up the scalp and face lace- rations that Rice suffered. Dr. Whitehead said the sailors had used some type of blunt instrument in delivering the blows. Dirt in some of the wounds indicated that the men had used rocks to deliver the blows. Rice, who is an official in the Veterans Administration, said he was driving home about midnight when two unidentified sailors stop- ped the car and asked for a ride to Douglas. He agreed to take them; and on the way over, at the re- quest of the sailors, Rice stopped the car and the three men got out, Rice heard one of the men s “OK, let's go.” One man hit Rice from tehind and the .other sailor| started to beat on his face. Rice was unable to stop his two assail- ants and was knocked out. The sailors removed his wrist wateh and wallet and drove off in the car. Rice was unconscious when the car left and didn't hear the motor be- ling started. | The car was discovered by the lHighwny patrolmen on Calhoun‘ ‘avenue about 2:30 a.m. The car | MEMEDER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS of Plane Interior Alaska FAIRBANKS, July 8—(P-- Alr Force planes and ground-rescue parties joined in intensive search today for Dr. Melville T.

SHORT COUNCIL MEETING In ten minutes, members of the Juneau City Council accomplished the business for which last night's special meeting was called. Due to the unusual situation caused by the change in fiscal year (with the change from April to October election), no provision had been made in the budget for the city's quarterly payment to the Juneau Independent School Dis- trict. The school year, from the city’s financial standpoint, ended in April. Thus, the Couucil was called to take care of the matter. The Council authorized Mayor Waino Hendrickson and City Clerk | Jack Popejoy to borrow approxi- mately $21,000 for the quarterly payment. Mayor Hendrickson said today, “Territorial finances are such that, according to the School Board, the district must depend entirely upon this payment from.the city.” | i | | | GAME TONIGHT Weather permitting, the Legion |and Elks will play tonight, game starting at 6:30 o'clock. during their two weeks in Alaska.

This is a B-17 which the U. 8. Coast Guard especially fitted out for a cooperation project to take photos of terrain from high alti- tude. Equipped with a 9 inch aerial camera (the only one of its type in the world), the plane makes i1, possible to photograph an area of 400 square miles at 25,000 feet. “One of the main functions of the survey,” said Admiral Colbert today, “Is to establish horizontal and ver- tical contrcl all over the Unitea States, including Alaska.

Those three-nation talks are the first of a series of financial confer- ences aimed at solving not only’ basis for prosperous international trading on a global scale. Cripps, in his report to the Brit- ish nation this week, said: “We must seek together a lunx-v.erm} remedy for the stubborn problems | of the balance of trade between the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world.” A sccond monetary conterencei will take place in London next| week when finance ministers of the British Commonwealth confer with Cripps. Washington observers forecast| today that high level talks would follow between Britain and the United States in six or eight weeks to work out long range solutions. It was pointed out-in Washington that | the present visit of Europe of Sec- retary Snyder is an investigating and reporting assignment. Snyder will report back to the American President and cabinet. Later talks attended possibly by Secretary of State Dean Acheson will take place. America’s chief concern with the present British crisis is that it means Britain will probably cut! purchases in the U. S. to the extent of $250,000,000 in the com-| ing year. is will lower America’s | exports of cotton, tobacco, gasoline and wheat to Britain and will fur- ther shrink U. 8. export trade.
