THE DAILY ALAS “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” KA. VOL. LXXV., NO. 11,552 JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1950 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS e Call Up Guard, Asks Senafor; Sysiem Gets | NewAirdrome Bering Coast Scouts Are to A-Bomb Urged ‘WASHINGTON, July 12 — (® — Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) today urged calling all National Guard units and organized paid military reserves to active duty im- mediately. He estimated this would provide 832,028 additional men for the Army, Navy, Air Corps and Marines. The recommendation was part of what Johnson called a “minimum” program for the defense of the na- tion. The Armed Services Committee member told the Senate that never before has the United States “been in such grave peril as it is at this moment.” Johnson said the fighting in Ko- rea has demonstrated that the na- tion is seriously outnumbered by its enemies. He said American troops are being sent to battle “with one arm tied behind their backs.” “Our Army divisions simply dc not have the number of battalions they need to function efficiently and economically in combat,” he said. Johnson’s proposals reflected in- creasing concern in Congress over the Korean conflict and the possi- bility that it might turn into a long and perhaps greater war. On the other side of the Capitol, the House applauded a proposal by Rep. Bentsen (D-Tex) that Prasi- dent Truman warn North Korean forces either to withdraw from South Korea or the atom bomb would be dropped on North Korean cities. Bentsen, a World War II veteran, said he offered this as a possible way to end the Korean ting and prevent a general world 3 WEATHER REPORT In Juneau—Maximum, 61; ‘ minimum, 52.

WSHINGNN — The following incident took place on the Senate floor, but was not reported in.th. Congressional Record. i The continuation of the draft'act was before the Senate for a vote. Three of the strongest isolationists —James Kem of Missouri, George Malone of Nevada and Arthur Watkins of Utah, all Republicans— huddled with floor leaders. “Don’t embarrass us,” they whis- pered. “We don’t want a record vote. Just the ayes and nays.” ‘Whereupon Oregon’s ‘Wayne Morse stomped back to fellow Re- publican Cabot Lodge of Massa- chusetts and said in a loud whis- per: “The nerve of those guys!” Lodge, getting the cue, imme- diately demanded a record vote. ‘When the roll was called, all three —Kem, Malone and Watkins— meekly voted “aye.” Korean Contrasts The following four incidents hap- pened in widely separated parts of the world, but they may have significant bearing on each other. 1. U. S. Troops In Korea re- ported that they knocked out a North Korean tank; the Korean crew jumped out, their clothes on fire, and the Americans tried to get them to surrender. But the Koreans rejoined their own forces and kept on fighting. ' “I used to have contempt for them,” said a high American commander, “but I ‘was mistaken.” 2. In the U. S. Senate, Lodge, Republican of Massachusetts, pro- posed two billion 'dollars more in arms aid to the world. 3.

Skinner's blast at Gov- ernor Gruening in connection with the recent Federal Grand Jury in- dictment of the Alaska Steamship Company brought a sharp retort from a Democratic legislator at a Chamber of Commerce meeting here yesterday. Skinner, the firm's vice president and general manager, repeated his denials of the indictment’s mono- poly charges. Then he branded the indictment as the culmination of 2 “long and vitriolic attack” aimed at the company by Governar Gruen- ing. (The Governor has connection with the and said Skinner was mating his influence.) Rep. Warren Taylor, Fairbanks attorney who was a guest at the meeting, took exception to Skin- ner’s remarks. He charged the steamship com- pany was waging a “political cam- paign” against the Governor and was attempting “to influence pros- pective jurors.” He said the firm's advertising and Skinnerls speeches impugned the integrity of the courts and constituted a personal attack on government officials. Skinner labeled the indictment charges as “the same old chestnuts Governor Gruening has been poking into the fire for year: He said every inquiry by a federa! body has resulted in a finding that accusations against the company were rot justified. denied any indictments over-esti- BRISTOL BAY SPARKS UP SALMON PACK: . E. AREA IS SHORT After getting off to a wobbly start, Bristol Bay is off to the racus this season, with the pack of red salmon almost 50,000 cases ahead of last year for the week ending July 8, according to figures released to- day by the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice. The Bay's total pack for ' the week, including a few thousand cases of kings and 7,724 cases of chums, added up to 473328 cases, compared to 428,831 in 1949. The Port Moller area in Western Alaska, mid-way down the Alaska Peninsula, came up with 12728 cases for the week, almost double the 1949 pack of 6,258. Southeast Alaska came to life this week, but the pack fell far short of the same period last year. So far 5,494 cases have been packed, most of these being red salmon, compared to 10,250 cases last year at the same time. The Copper Ttiver, after being closed several weeks, is roaring again with 74,914 cases put up, com- pared to 48,555 cases last year. These figures should not be used as basic comparative figures, be- cause red salmon are a five-year fish, and as such, can not be com- pared in consecutive years, accord- ing to Frank Hynes, fisheries super- visor for the service. Potal pack for the Territory for the week is as follows: Reds, 706,047; Kings, 44471; Pinks, 17,731; Chums, 50,007; Co- hoes, 1,688. Grand total is 819,944 cases, compared to 676,909 last year for the same week. THREE CHILDREN BORN AT ST. AN'S HOSPITAL Children wcre orn to three Ju- neau couples this morning at St. Ann's Hospital.

T i e e s b \BOND OF BRIDGES MAY BE REVOKED; | THEN GOES T0 JAIL | WASHINGTON, July 12 — @ — A Senate judiciary subcommittee was set up today to look into tie possibility of having Harry Bridges'} 25,000 bond revoked. That would mean the West Coast labor leader would have to go to jail. Bridges, a native of Australia, was convicted and given a five- year prison sentence in April on a charge of lying about Communist connections when he applied U.S. citizenship. A Federal court in San Francisco has ordered his citizenship cancelled. The citizenship proceeding was held up, however, pending an ap- peal by the CIO longshoreman’s chief from the perjury conviction Creation of the Senate subcom- mittee came in the wake of reporis that Bridges has opposed a resolu- tion by West Coast longshoremen to condemn the Communist invas- ion of South Korea. A union meet- ing to consider the resolution broke up in a fight, The judiciary subcommittee ex- pects to meet with Attorney Gen- eral McGrath and McGrath's as- sistant, Peyton Ford, in an effort to get them to testify tomorrow on Bridges' case. ROAD BUDGET CUT MAY STOP ALASKA PAVING PROJECTS The slice in Alaska road con- struction funds by the Senate ap- propriations committee may mear. that projected paving work will not be done this season, according to A. F. Ghiglione, chief engineer for the Alaska Road Commission. i The committee pared $1,516788 from the $20,500,000 budget sub- mitted for the coming period. Because of the odd figure, Ghi- glione was puzzled as to what it meant—whether it was an across- the-board cut, or a cut in some specific figure. He talked to Wash- ington this morning, but could ledrn nothing specific from there, he said. Because the House figure doesn't agree with that of the Senate, a joint conference will be held, and a figure arrived at before anything definite is arrived at. But con- struction will not be hindered, Ghiglione said. The road into Mt. McKinley Na- tional Park is progressing rapidly, with crews favored by a good sea- son, he said. From Cantwell on the west, the road has grown some six or eight miles, and from the Richardson Highway it has made} more miles than that. Work is planned so that in sev- 2ral years the road will meet near Denali at a bridge to be construc- ted over the Susitna River. He believes that by the end of} the year the road will be some 30 miles in length from both ends, leaving only about 90 miles to go. ts completion will see a tremend- bus increase in Park traffic. One park executive who came hrough Juneau some time ago es- imated that persons visiting the »ark would increase to 40,000 yearly, ;ompared to some 5,000 at the pres- ent time, once the road is com- dleted.

Bartlett said Senate majority leader Lucas (D-II) assured him hat he would call up the statehood egislation before Congress ad- journs or recesses. The assurance from Lucas came 1s a surprise because he hereto- ore has said he did not believe ‘here would be time before cori- sional adjournment for the Jenate to act on the bills, already »assed by the House. The Senate ‘nsular Affairs Committee also has approved them. “Getting this ¢fsurance from Senator Lucas,” Bartlett told a re- porter, “means the two state®ood oills will be passed. I feel certain hat once they are called up on the Senate floor they will be ap- proved.” THREE MORE DAYS AND KING WOULD HAVE SET RECORD An Alaska king salmon could have broken a record if it had kept swimming south for three more daxg. As it was, the king made 900 miles in 24 days, a better per-day rate than the record-holder. The record is 1,000 miles in 30 days, according to the Alaska Department of Fish- eries. Tagged and released in the Cross Sound Area by fisheries biologist Robert R. Parker, the salmon was recaptured in Sooke Harbor near the south end of Vancouver Island. It was caught in one of the few traps remaining in British Colum- bia waters. The king had averaged 37 and one-half miles per day, or four miles per day better than the salmon holding the long-distance record, during the southward swim. The tag from the fish was re- turned to the Alaska Department of Fisheries here today. The salmon trek was measured over the shortest distance along the coast and not as a fish swims. Fish- eries department director C. L. An- derson said the fish probably took some side trips and actually made a longer swim than the -record shows.

Later, some will go overseas but a spokesman said the number going over “will not be large or happen soon.” The spokesman also said that if the first call for 20,000 draftees has the indirect result of bringing in large numbers of volunteers a second draft call may not be needtd to bring the Army up to its pres- 'nt ceiling of 630,000. However, he did not discount the possibility that the ceiling might be raised. There will be no numbers drawing for the draft. The birth date is the big factor in determining whic? men will be called for duty. 54 LEAVE, 41 ARRIVE VIA ALASKA COASTAL Tuesday's flights of Alaska Coastal Airlines carried a total of 95 passengers between Juneau and other Southeast Alaskan points.

YANKS FORCED BACK SEVEN BLOODY MILES iAmericans Refreat fo Bor- der of Temporary Capital and Hope to Hold Qut (By the Associated Press) American trpops, retreating in South Korea before the massive, relentless offensive of the. North Korean Communist invaders, fell back today behind the important Kum river to positions they hope to hold until power for a counter- attack arrives from across the sea. Tank-led North Koreans, plung- ing south behind mortar and artil- lery barrages, drove American forces out of Chochiwon with pre- Isumably heavy casualties and lpushed them back seven bloody miles to the Kum in what was de- scribed by U.S. headquarters as an orderly withdrawal, The Northern troops pressed along the north bank of the Kum, last major barrier before Taejon, emergency South Korean capital 15 miles south. The Americans hold Konju on the south bank. A communique of Gen. MacAr- thur's headquarters, lagging behind battlefront reports, acknowledged that the strong Communist pres- sure against outnumbered Ameri- can battalions in the battle area north of Chochiwon “may compel i further withdrawals behind the Kum river.” The shallow river, a | Going {o Hoonah were Robertquarter mile wide north of Taejon, Lee, Annie Karlson, Mary Juloton; ! with banks 10 to 15 feet high, vre- to Funter Bay: S.

Hansen of Seattle is regis- tered at the Baranof Hotel South Korea Division. The 16th Norsh Ko:zan Division was reported moving toward a junc- ture with the Reds’ Fifth ut Chungju. . The attack which drove Ameri- cans behind Kum river defenses began at midmorning after the Reds used their deadly and now !mmiunr flanking and infiltration tactics. A broad flood dike about 20 feet high 88d 30 feet: thick at the base offers a strong defense position, U.S. Engineers mined the modern ¥ridge, but dispatches did not say whether it was blown up yet. Yanks Bitter The Americans who fell back were exhausted and bitter. Front dis- patches said they talked glumly of encirclements and infiltrations by the Reds, and of the Communists’ superior armaments and striking power, For the Americans it was the be- lginning of their second week of ground action—a period of dogged delaying tactics and retreat before powerful forces armed plentifully with Russian materiel, including monster tanks. Anger swept American lines oyver the execution of at least 18 Ameri- can prisoners of war. This was con- demned in a communique of the U.N. commander, Gen. MacArthur, as "barbarity and murder.” He said North Korean war leaders will be held responsible. Headquarters said it had proof of such atrocities in official photo- graphs showing Americans with their hands tied behind their backs, all shot through the head.
