PAGE TWO BIG TIME AWAITS 'ALASKA SCOUTS, NATL. JAMBOREE fi'hnn Alaska’s troop of 33 boys and three leaders moves in on the other 40,000 scouts from all over America at the National Jamboree at 'Valley Forge, Penn., next sum- mer, a big reception will await them. Except for military person- nel’s boys from Japan and the Ha- wiian Island delegation, they will have come the. furtherest from home to attend, and it will become their opportunity to help dispel some of the state-side misconcep- tions concerning ordinary life in the Territory. Since the Alaska lads are quite capable of taking care of them- selves in an exchange of tall tales, some of their stories may need to be toned down towards reality, in orfler to avoid stretchng the truth top far, according- tv ‘cout execu- tive Maurice Powers, who will ac- company the group and be in charge of arrangements for their trip. : Set Up Camp Immediately after their arrival June 29, one of the Alaska Troop’s first duties will be the setting up ot their 24 sleeping tents and dining {lies. In order to make sure that everyone knows where the Alaska contingent is stationed, scouts wili stencil bright-colored totems and other Alaska figures on their tents, and they will fly the flag of the Territory over their camp. It is planned that a decorative archway will mark the entrance to the Alaska troop's site, possibly adorned with an igloo replica trom the Fairbanks group and an authen- tic totem pole from the Southeast towns. Edward L. Keithahn, curator of the Territorial Museum has of- fered to lend Alaska's scout repre- sentatives a ‘“genuine” totem pole from his private collection, and it is planned that it will be carefully packed and carrie? along with the group as they make their 5,000 mile trek to Washington’s winter quar- ters. “Swap” Goods Scouts are planning now to take with them literally thousands of “swap” goods. It is the custom at these national gatherings for boys to exchange souvenirs from their home locality for those of boys from other placese, so that when they refurn home the Alaska boys may have anything in their duffle trom Florida baby alligators to horned toads from Texas. In return the Alaska boys will take with them such valuable sou- vepirs as miniature totem poles, vfl}rus and elk teeth, bear claws, Yukon river and Arctic ocean water samples, small pieces of ivory and ngtive carving, Alaska camp patches, rock and mineral samples, and dozens of other desirable trad- ing items. Alaska’s Big Group Thirty-two of the 33 places in the Jamboree troop have already been reserved by outstanding represen- tatives of Alaska’s best troops, with a major problem facing Alaska’s Jamboree Committee of deciding whether or not to ask the National Council to allow the full quota of 47 Alaska boys to participate. Be- cause of the huge number of boys from eastern councils who are an- xious to take part, and for whom the cost is markedly less because of difference in transportation ex- pense, the larger number of places is being held only until March for Alaska and the west coast councils. Probably the committee will take a chance on 14 more qualified scouts wishing to go from the Territory and deposit the money to hold the places for them. Curtis G. Shattuck is Jamboree Committee Chairman, with Elmer E. Rasmuson of Anchorage, Philip A. Johnson at Fairbanks, Dr. Dwight L. Cramer of Ketchikan, and Dr. James C. Ryan of Juneau being other committee members. The Rev. Victor A. Alfsen of Palmer has been chosen to be Scoutmaster of the Alaska troop of scouts going to the Jamboree, with his two assistants to be named soon from a list of outstanding scoutmasters of the Territory who have applied for the privilege of accompanying the group. A third assistant scoutmaster will be chosen if the larger group of boys attends. REGISTERED AT BARANOF Mr. and Mrs. Earl Everson of Juneau are registered at the Bara- nof Hotel. A-1 PRICE BOOMS WITH GOLD STOCKS AS RUBLE TIED ON NEW YORK, March 1— flurry of demand for gold stocks today followed news that Rus planned to tie the ruble to a gold standard. Demand for gold shares was even more pronounced in the London Exchange where heavy spegulative | § buying reported The effect of the Russian an- nouncement was regarded as more psychological than real. Gold stocks here and in foreign exchanges have frequently attracted speculative support in past months, mainly on the basis of rumors that the price of gold would be raised above $35 an ounce. Fractionally higher prices were caid for Alaska Juneau Homestake ining, Dome Mines, McIntyre Porcupine, and South American Geld and Platinum, The balance of the market slip- ped at the start but almost immed- iately got a good grip on the price ladder. Losses were either shaded or eliminated. i STATE DEPARTMENT - SECRET LOYALTY FILES MAY OPEN UP { WASHINGTORN, wMarch 1—(®— President Truman may surprise his GOP critics by opening secret State Department files to Communist- hunting Senators. An administration official who declined to be quoted by name said today the President might decide to permit representatives of a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee to delve into the records in its inquiry —beginning next Wednesday—into charges by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis). McCarthy has said that a number of Communists are now working or have worked for the State Depart- ment. He has contended, however, that an investigation of these charges would be useless uniless their secret loyalty files are made available. Mr. Truman has banned Con- gressional committees from the files in the past. Administration lieuten- ants said he may make an excep- | tion to allow Senators to visit the State Department and see the files there. | If that happens, Republicans said they will demand that one or more of their members be present| W] the files are examined. enate Appropriations subcom- mittee heard testimony by State| Department officials yesterday that hundreds of representatives of other executive agencies want to learnj whetder job applicants have any black marks on their records.
