AEC STATES NEW ATOMIC BOMBSMADE Commission Reports Now ' Produced on Indus- frial Basis By FRANK CAREY (AP Science Writer) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—(P—The Atomic Energy Commission an- hounced today its new and more effective atomic bombs—proof-test- ed at Eniwetok—are being produc- ed “on an industrial basis.” It also said uranium and pluton- fum for bombs and other atomics uses ‘are being produced “in great- er-quantities than ever before.” Relating “advances in all phases of the national atomic energy pro- gram,” the AEC in its sixth semi- | annual report to Congress also listed progress on the medical front including - indications that relatively inexdensive radioactive cobalt may eventually prove to be a better cancer treatment than ra- dium. At the samie time the AEC dis- closed it had found ace-in-the- hole resources of uranium in this country that could be uséd at some future time for military applica- tions—in case. the uranium we now get at ‘home and abroad should cease to be available.

BUCHAREST, Rumazaia, Aug. l1.! —M—Rumania today dissolved all Roman* Catholic welfare orders. There are 15 such orders in Ru- mania, the best known being the French Order of St. Vincent De Paul. The orders are devoted to charity, hospital and social work among Roman Catholics. Catholic priests, monks and nuns enrolled in the orders were told to choose within 15 days whether they will retire to three cloisters and two monasteries as- signed to them, enter an old age asylum, or quit their orders and join the lay public, applying for Jjobs at local employment bureaus. The decree was published in the officials government bulletin. The 'Roman Catholic church has been under attack for some time in Rumania, as in other eastern An_ countries.

The Washingfon Merry-Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate. Inc.) | ASHINGTON— All is not har- mony inside the Republican Na- tional Committee as it nears the job of picking a new chairman. It was hoped that when Pennsyl- vania’s Hugh Scott, a Dewey man, resigned, diverse G.O.P. factions would bury the hatchet and pull together. But they haven't. Today, there is jusi about as much inside dissension as there was ‘'over controversial Hugh Scott. This time the feuding is over the top candidate for the chair- manship—Guy Gabrielson ‘of Ber- nardsville, N, J., National Commit- teeman from New Jersey. John Clements Wins Salmon Derby Prize Wartime Tax Repeal Not (omj_ng Yel WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—®— House Democratic leader McCor- mack (Mass.) said after a White House conference today he sees no prospect for repeal of any of the wartime excise taxes at this ses- sion of Congress. | McCormack, in addition to his party post, is a member of thc| House Ways and Means committee which originates tax legislation. McCormack and other Democrat- ic congressional leaders discussed the tax situation and other mat- ters at their regular Monday morn- ing session with President Truman. Other conferees were Vice Presi- dent Barkley, Speaker Rayburn and Majority Leader Lucas. When Lucas was asked about the possibility of tax legislation, he referred questioners to MeCormack, asserting the matter was in the jurisdiction of the House commit- | tee. “Everybody is for repeal,” Mc- Cormack said, ‘but when you open up the question of repealing excise taxes, you open up the question of repealing them all. and raise the| possibility of another $1,700,000,000 ; loss in revenue. “You can’t loose this much rev-! enue without further unbalancing the budget and without levying | other taxes to replace the excise| taxes.” TOM CLARK WILL TAKE COURT JOB Sen. McGraflccepls U.s.| Attorney General Position WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—(@®— President Truman announced today that Attorney General Clark has accepted his offer of a Supreme Court appointment and that Sena- tor McGrath (D-RI) will succeed Clark. ‘The President made the an- nouncement to reporters in the White House lobby after the Rhode Island Senator called on him. McGrath later confirmed his ac- ceptance of the Attorney Gen- eralship. He called it a “high honor carry- ing with it tremendous responsi- bility.” McGrath was asked whether he is resigning as chairman of the Democratic National Committee., He said, “Not just this minute.” However, he called attention to a paragraph in his statement which indicated he would do so upon con- firmation. Chairman McCarran (D-Nev) of the Senate Judiciary Committee has told reporters that he will raise no objection to Clark’s lp;?omtment.- BOAT SEARCH IS CANCELLED AFTER DISTRESS CALLS g SEATTLE, Aug. 1—®—A search for “the 140-foot Western Trader, carrying 10 crewmen and five pas- sengers, was cancelled yesterday when the Royal Canadian Air Force at Vancouver, B.C., learned the Seattle ship was in no difficulty. A faint distress .call was picked up from the Western Trader at 3:18 p.m. Saturday. It was found the call had been made for the gillnetter Greer Starrett, aground on the British Columbia coast near Cape. Caution. The Western Trader, enroute to Shuyac Island north of Kodiak, Alaska, stood by the empty Greer Starrett through the night but dis- covered at dawn the smaller craft had either sunk or drifted away during the darkness and fog. Those aboard the gillnetter had been picked up by an unidentified boat before the arrival of the Western (Continued on Page Four) Trader, and taken to Cascade, B.C. MARSHALL URGES AID T0 EUROPE Former Sét@ry of State| Tells Congress Hesitation | Would Be “Unforunate” | WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—®—| Gen. George C. Marshall told Con- | gress today that hesitation in ap-| proving President Truman’s pro- | gram of foreign arms aid would be | “most unfortunate” and have "WldEJ ramifications.” | The former Secretary of State, ! who was Army Chief of Staff dur-| ing World War II, testified before the House Foreign Affairs commit- tee that, while failure to approve the program at this time would' result in “a minor economy,” it also might result in the possibility of “a major outlay later on.” i Endorsing President Truman's! $1,450,000,000 program, Marshall! agreed with previous statements hy! Secretary of State Acheson and the Army Chief of Staff, General Omar ! N. Bradley. Marshall told the committee that he had not sat in on consultations while the plan was being worked out, but that he was briefed on it| at the State Department last Fri- | day. “I had been strongly of the: opinion that action of this nature | was urgently necessary,” he added. “As to the fundamental policy in- volved there is no doubt in my mind as the desirability of action of their nature immediately.” Tt 'is ‘necessary,” hc ‘caid, for the nations of Europe, who are friend-| ly to the United States and are re- sisting Russia to have “mutually cooperative action against aggres- | sion.” MYSTERY PLANE MAY HAVE BEEN FIREWORKS NOW PORTLAND, Aug. 1.—(®— The “mystery aircraft” that alarmed some Portlanders Saturday may| have been only fireworks-shooting mountain climbers. Two pilots and an airport con- trol tower operator reported red lights and flares in the sky east of Portland airport Saturday night. For 15 minutes the airport was closed while the operator tried to determine if a radioless plane wanted to make an emergency landing. | When no plane materialized, Portlanders—some still alarmed ov- | er the flying discs of recent years —began speculating. Not Myron Weygandt, though.| He was chairman of an American Legion-sponsored climb of Mt.l Hood. He explained climbers went | up the mountain Saturday night and set off 15 flares—red, white and green—plus a rocket and a few light bombs, all visible as far away as Portland. ‘The - rocket and bright flares were sighted by Northwest Airlines Pilot Capt. Paul Thrush and Co-Pilot C. J.”Cole as they brought in a run from Spokane. A' United Airlines pilot told the Oregonian he also de- tected the flares at a distance while en route north to Portland at the same time. Bernard Basford, Civil Aeronau- tics Administration airport control tower operator, reported seeing the aircraft and taking bearings on its position. Basford said it dropped several flares and, when Capt. Thrush radioed he had sighted the distresstype signals, he ordered four scheduled airline landings to be delayed. The Oregonian reported the Mc- Chord Field, Wash, Air Force flight service officers had asked the airline pilots to say nothing more on the subject. The news- paper said the Air Force officials confirmed the subject had been classified as ‘“security matter” there. They added the aircraft was not a military airplane, the Ore- gonian said. TOKYO—After four months of quigt, Mount Asama belched smoke and ashes yesterday. However, Japanese scientists said the vol- cano was erupting neither lava nor stones. Mount Asama is 95 miles irom Tokyo, JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1949 FEDERAL WORKERS WON'T 60 PAYLESS UNTIL AUGUST 15 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—®—-The House rushed to the rescue of a group of money-less Federal agencies today by voting them stop=- gap financing until August 15. Funds of the agencies were cut off last midnight with expiration of a previous stop-gap bill. The House last week had voted | to finance them through August 31, or until their regular money bills clear Congress, tut the Sen= ate cut the date to August 15. House acceptance of the Senate change sent the measure to Presis dent Truman so the agencies can meet payrolls. U. .

TERRITORY WILL APPEAL RULING ON NONRESIDENT TAX J. Gerald Williams, Attorney General of Alaska, plans to appeal the decision of Judge George W. Folta in the matter of the noyp- resident fishermen's tax. Judge Folta ruled last week that the license fee for non-resident halibut fishermen — increased from $25 to $50 by the 1949 Legislature— is unreasonably discriminatory and invalid. Asked by lax Collector M. P. Mullaney for an opinion on col- !lection of similar fees from salmon fishermen, Williams said today, “There has not yet been a deeision on Chapter 66, S.L.A. 1949, as it applies to salmon fishermen, so I have advised the Tax Commissioner to continue collections as pro- vided therein. “A case is pending,” he added, “which will require such a ruling, believes that only a large army, containing up to 1,500,000 combat troops, can prevent Soviet aggres- The workers—Chinese, some In- dians and White Russians—blocked One group of milicary leaders] LONDON—Prime Minister Attlee has fallen ill, becoming the third of Britain's “Big Four” leaders to mitted to get some sleep. {Tables Are Turned Thomas and other American offi- cials from leaving the building on Friday.

She took the coveted prize with a 36 pound, 6 ounce king salmon hooked on the first day of the derby off the north end of | North Island. More than 700 entrants were esti- 1mated to have fished in the three- day derby which ended at 4 pam. yesterday. Hundreds of pounds of fish were turned into judges at Auk Bay and Tee Harbor floats, while hundreds of pounds more were taken home Ly entrants.

FIRST SALMON FOR WINNER Mrs. Clements’ prize-winning 36- pounder was the first salmon she had ever caught, and it was th2 second time she had ever tried her . gfi% salmon . She was ?@u‘m the Hyak, ’s%rperea by J. “Sim” MacKinnon. The wife of Juneau physictan Dr, John Clements, sne was using a strip of herring on a nylon line when she made the big catch. “I have a feeling,” Mrs. Clements commented today, “that the fish Jjust wore itself out. It was such a fat fish that it was undoubtedly of the lazy variety.” It took almost 40 minutes to land the king, after which, Mrs, Clements explained, she and the fish were completely exhausted. It struck the bait when she had all her line out and she found it neces- sary to run from one end of the Loat to the other to allow the fish to take the line, a process which she admitted becamé almost not worth the effort. At midnight tonight, Mrs. Clem- ents will be owner of the snappy, maroon 1949 Ford automobile, which is first prize for the salmon classic, Bok Henry of Seattle was the 1948 winner and Dick Harris of Juneau took the top prize in 1947. Weather luck ran out yesterday after two days of no rain. Not de- terred by the soaking downpour, hundreds of fishermen took off from the floats yesterday morning in weather, someone quipped, “that would have drowned a fish.” Boats of every size, description and color from luxury yachts to two-man dingles were employed to get into the fishing area. With blue skies and bright sun Satur- day an estfmated 500 persons were on the water. Nearly 150 cars were parked in the Tee Harbor area. TEXANS HAVE POOR LUCK Texas fisherman D. H. McCrory had tough luck in the fishing de- partment, but had a fine time nevertheless. After arriving here one day late in their private plane due to weather, the Texans went aboard Jack Burford’s Donjac Sat- jurday. McCrory caught threc sal- mon, but none were large enough to enter in the competition. The Texans were aboard the Naha yes- terday. They planned to leave late this afternoon, weather permit- ting, in their five-place Cessna, piloted by Roy Webb, airport op- erator from Pampa, Tex. i [ FISH FOR CHARITY All fish turned in for competi- tion in the derby will be taken to the Hoonah cannery to be canned.
