PAGE EIGHT USS SHIELDS AND USS NICKEL ARRIVE | AFTERROUGHTRIP The US. Navy destroyer Shields pulled up to the Army wharf at 4:30 p.m. yesterday, and moored ahead | of the Coast Guard cutter Citrus. A few minutes later, the USS| Nickel, a smaller, destroyer-escort typt ship, moored alongside of the Shields. And most of the 438 en-| listed men and 52 officers aboard the two warships prepared to come | | ashore. | The ships had had rough trips| to Alaska, proceeding north in the | open,_ocean so that the crews —! made up,of Navy reservists — could | get some real ocean air. But spokes- men ‘said the men, 80 percent of them Navy veterans, had survived the rough weather with no reported cases of seasickness. The two ships came from San Francisco, where the majority of the men aboard them belong to an organized surface battalion oj the U.S. Navy which meets once each week on Treasure Island. } But included on the mugwer list are 18 Sea Scouts from Rock Springs, Wyo., and four Naval Re- serve Officer Training Corps stu- dents. The San Francisco unit cruised to Honolulu in 1949, but the men are finding Juneau more to their liking. “It's not so commercialized,” one of the men said. “And you don’t get | kicked out of a store just because | you happen to be an enlisted man.” City police reported this morning | that none of the Navy men had made trouble last night. The com- | mander of the Shields, Comdr. J. L. Foley, USN, also noted the good | conduct of the men and rewarded‘ them this morning. Shore leave had been <chedul?d‘ to begin at 1 p.m. today. But Comdr. Foley ordered that it should begin as soon as the ship was made ship- shape this morning. | Several groups of the reservists boarded sight-seeing busses and taxis this morning for trips to Men- | denhall Glacier. Other groups toured the Territorial Museum in the Fed- eral Building. Stlll others climbed | into the hills behind Juneau to take photographs, hours after a number of seamen in the captain’s gig left for a fishing trip to the south end of Gastineau Channel. | The two ships will depart from Juneau at 5 a.m. tomorrow. They ! will proceed to Prince Rupert, B.C., | by way of Taku Inlet and the open ocean, From there they will go to| Seattle for supplies and refueling. | Before reaching their home port, ‘ l;xe xeservuts will carry out firing practice on a range off the coast of Washington state. All the enlisted men aboard the | two .ships are qualifying for me“ promitions ,which will be given as | a result of their attending one year | of unit drills and going on the, cruise. | Nelson (ited B | The Fairchild XC-120 Pack cargo. kitchens. family bread supply. good loaf of bread.

THREE DEAD, PLANE CRASH BEDFORD, Va. June 23—M— Three men died in the crash of a Navy experimental attack plane which hurtled to the ground like a flaming ball of fire near here last night. The aircraft—an AJ-1 with two conventional engines and a jet to give it an extra burst of speed— was on its first transcontinental flight from Edwards Air Force base, California, to Patuxent, Maryland. | It fell in a thicket of brusk and small trees near the Pattarfon Rock Quarry, eight miles south of here at 8:30 p.m. "FOSSIL’ TREES GROW FAST NEAR KLUKWAN Watching a fossil come to life and grow like a sturdy weed has been the experience in recent | weeks of Rayno Johnson, teacher for the Alaska Native Service Klukwan. Johnson was sent a nuinber of metaseqouia seedlings from the for est service, which is experimenting by sending them to various parts | of Alaska to see how they will do. No one is quite sure until they've been seen to prosper a season or two, because it’s been around a million years since the trees were WEATHER REPORT In Juneau—Maximum, 69; minimum, 52.

Second and final showing will take place tonight at 8 pm. in the I. O. O. F. Hall. The story is of a year in the life of a French peasant family, giving one the sensation of being on hand to watch births and deaths, love affairs and the sofd family strength of the Farribiques Threaded on the story of the old grandfather’s determination to keep the ancient farm together, are moving and beautiful episodes: the love affairs of Henri, the diVision the property, the coming of seasons. ‘These latter, especially of spring, are cinematic poetry. While the earth grows warm, the camera re- of dance awakening shares the feeling of some and nature, the pictorial of a Millet painting, and realness of a story by de Maupassant. The French conversation is rapid and the accent difficult, but Eng- beauty | lish titles convey all the story not obvious through photography. Duck hunting scenes ‘and tech- | niques were shown in the short which preceded the film, donated by Al Garbutt’'s Hobby Center. FROM I’ETERSBURG Mr. and Mrs. Louis G.

Arms on WASHINGTON, June 23 — (# — Administration forces opened a drive today for Senate approval of a pro- gram which would place America’s most modern ~weapons — except atomic bombs—along the defense frontiers of Western Europe. Senator Connally of Texas had the job of guiding the $1,222,500,000 | foreign arms plan into its second year of operation. There was trouble ahead—mostly from Republicans. (1) A provision to, give President Truman authority to hand over $122,250,000 worth of arms to any European nation whose defense he considers vital to the security of the United States. (2) An-amendment which would permit the U. S. government to sell arms on credit to any friendly na- tion. (3) A proposal by Senator Lodge (R-Mass )to permit Marshall Plan nations to draw on $5,000,000,000 ot European Recovery Funds for mili- tary purposes. These funds are local currencies deposited by European countries to match recovery dollars. The duck hawk is reported to be the fastest flying bird in the United States.
