PAGE SIX AIR TRAFFIC IS HELD UP HEAVY FOG (By the Associated Press) A heavy fog belt lay over West- ern Oregon and Washington today, ! grounding airplane travel and slow- ing motorists to a crawl. Both the Portland and Seattle airports were completely closed. Commercial airplane flights® though Medford and east mountains, were belt normal south of of e Cascade halted in the fog There was no trace of a light| plane wh vanished from over the m airport in the midst of | a dense fog last night. Most Alaska planes headed south yesterday were waiting at fields in| the Territory for improvement in the weather. Pan American got one| flight into Seattle at noon from| Fairbanks, but held another at| that city and a second at Annette| Island airport near Ketchikan. Among those who were unable to keep engagements in Seattle| were Dean Rusk, Undersecretary of State, and radio master of cere- monies Art Linkletter. Rush was scheduled to speak at| a United Nations birthday cere-| mony on the University of Wash- ington campus.

The real decision of Operations Crossroads is now: life or death. .. All peoples must unite under the Creator of this awesome power. . .” Thus do scientists and milita officers speak, in the impressive motion picture, “God and the Atom,” produced kty the Moody Bible Institute. This is one of the series of Moody science films being shown at Reserve Officers’ meetings, over which the group of Juneau- ites is highly enthusiastic. “God and the Atom,” was given its only service club showing here at the weekly luncheon today of the Lions Club, in the Baranof Gold Room. It features simplified visualiza- tion of the breaking up of the atom, showing the huge cyclotron for medical research at the Uni- versity of California, and touches briefly on the 1945 explosion ex-. periment in the New Mexican de- sert. Dramatic and spectacular Navy sequences of the explosion at Bikini Atoll highlight the film.+ Member Col. 'J. D. Alexander arranged for the loan of the movie, which was shown with W. H.

A committee “report was made public over the weekend. A CAW teply followed last night from New York. The committee said-CAW is “just| another Communist hoax specifi- | cally designed to ensnare idealistic- ally minded but politically gallible women,” the chief purpose of which | ‘Is to act as part of a world-wide pressure mechanism among women in support of Soviet foreign and| domestic policy.” The CAW described itsclf as “an! organization of women whose openly avowed goal since its inception has; been the furtherance of world| peace, and the Letterment of the conditions of life for themselves| and their children.” THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA BIG DEFENSE MANEUVERS, PACIFIC NW SPOKANE, Oct. 24—(P—Army, Air Force and Naval units will Jjoin in widespread defense maneu- vers next week to protect the Pa- cific Northwest from a mock bomb- ing attack, the Chronicle said to- day. The paper said the maneuvers would be held from Nov. 4 to 14 and would involve units of the Fourth Air Force, the Sixth Army, the Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Air National Guard. Two weeks ago Fourth Air Force Headquarters at Hamilton Air Force Base, Calif., confirmed that such maneuvers were in the “plan- ning stage.” The Chronicle said it understood that the B-29s would constitute the “invading force.” Naval radar units at sea, Army radar and jet fighter planes will attempt to repel the “attacks” in a test of the area’s vulneratility to bombing.
