“ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” 4 VOL. LXXV., NO. 11,5654 THE DAILY ALASKA & EMPIRE JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY JULY 14, 1950 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS —— ' Red Forces Pour Over Kum; Taejon Evacuated STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA BE RUINOUS Senator BM Expresses Views in Minority Report —Change Is Proposed WASHINGTON, July 14 — B — Senator Butler (R-Nebr) told the Senate today “statehood for Alaske at this time might well spell finan- cial ruin” for the territory. The Senate Insular Committee, of which Butler is a member, has re- commended that the Senate pass bills to grant statehood to Alaska and Hawaii. Both measures have been passed by the House. Butler expressed his views on Alaska in a committee minority re- port. He also dissented yesterday when the committee filed its ma- jority report on Hawaii statehood. Instead of granting Alaska state- hood, Butler advocated the terri- tory be permitted to adopt its own constitution and elect its own gov- ernor and other administrative offi cials. “There is no reason wuy the gov- ernor should be selected by Wash- ington or why Alaskans should have to come to Washington every time they want some change in their basic law,” he said. Butler contended Alaska is un- able to assume the financial bur- dens incident to statehood; that its sparse population may decrease after government military activities there cease, and that as a state Alaska would lose many benefits it now has as a territory. Fear of heavy state taxes under statehood, he said, Would prevent establishment of new industries in Alaska. STEAMER MOVEMENTS Princess Louise from Vancouver due Saturday afternoon.

The Washington Merry - Go- Round Bv DREW PEARSON ICopyright, 1980. by Bell Syndicate, Ine.) WSHINGTON—There was much more than meets the eye behind the rather cool letters exchanged between President Truman and Civil Aeronautics Chairman Joe O’Connell last week. In the background were not only two curt and unfriendly notes, but the frantic lobbying of three giant airlines for the most lucra- tive air routes in the world. There was also some clever wire-pulling by members of the palace guard in favor of two of the airlines, Pan American Airways and Amer- jcan Overseas Airlines, while on the other side was a $50,000 fee paid to an ex-palace guardsman, Clark Clifford, by Howard Hughes of Trans World Airline. In the end, Hughes lost his . $50,000. O’Connell’s resignation goes back to the fact that, for months, the CAB has been debating the ex- tremely complicated question of whether Pan American should be allowed to merge with the Amer- jcan Overseas. Since the U. S. Government largely subsidizes the big airlines, CAB has final author- ity on such mergers and can be reversed only by the President him- self. During these months of study, it was disclosed that wherever Pan American had received a monopoly route, the efficiency of its service dropped. Pan American, incidentally, (Continued on Page Four) is GAS EXPLOSION RIPS, BUILDINGS, KILLS ONE IN SEATTLE SEATTLE, July 14—(®—A violent | inderground gas explosion killed ne person, injured more than a lozen others and damaged several rea today.

HIGH MASS HONORS WILLIAMT. MAHONEY AT CATHOLIC CHURCH High Requiem Mass was said in the Catholic Church of the Nativity at 11 o'clock this morning for Wil- liam Thomas Mahoney, United States Marshal for the First District of Alaska. The solemn and beautiful mass was pronounced by the Rev. Father Robert Whelan. With the words “He had fought the good fight, he had finished his | ~ourse, he had kept the faith,” the Rev. Father H. L. Sweeney began his short euology of Mr. Mahoney whose “Love of God, his church and stant qualities. Gathered to pay their final re- spect to the marshal were friends of many years standing, members of the Democratic party with whom he had been associated for many | years, the lawyers who had known him well, his business associates. and members of the church and of the lodges to which he belonged. Flowers banked the church ves- tibule from floor to ceiling. Pallbearers were Patrick Carroll, John H. Walmer, Russell Maynard, Nick Bavard, Sid Thompson and Walter Hellan. The latter two had served as deputy United States Marshals for many years. All were old friends of the family. To the family, Father Sweeney in his eulogy spoke words of sympathy which were echoed in the hearts of all present. The service today followed Ros- ary recited by Father -Whelan in 7:45 last night. Here, as in the church today, gathered many friends of the Mahoney family. William T. Mahoney—so well- known as “Bill” that Father Swee- ney in his eulogy today referred to him as Bill—died suddenly of a heart attack in his apartment about midnight last Saturday. Mrs. Mahoney, who was visiting in Arcata, California, at the time, arrived in Juneau Tuesday and is staying with her son and daughter- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Mahoney. Burial will be in Arcata in the Mahoney family plot. Mrs. Ma- honey and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ma- honey and their small son, William Gerry, will leave for the south on the Baranof Sunday.

THINKS WAR IS UP TO UN Nehru Ofie?Services as Mediator to Russia, U. S. - Makes Appeal WASHINGTON, July 14 — B — The State Department said today the minimum condition for a solu- tion of the Korean crisis is for the Northern Communists to stop fighting and withdraw to their own territory. | A department spokesman also de- | clared that the “proper forum” for trying to seme‘the crisis is the United Nations;” that this is no matter for direct negotiation be- tween Moscow and Washington. These basic points of American policy were brought out at a news conference while Secretary Ache- son was still considering a personal message from Prime Minister Nehru {of India on the Korean crisis. The spokesman, press officer Lin- coln White, said he presumed Ache- son would send Nehru an answer but none has gone out yet. There are indications that Nehru appealed to Acheson, as he also re- portedly appealed to Premier Stalin of Russia yesterday, for a peaceful settlement of the Korean fighting and offered to mediate if asked by | both sides to do so. | ' White’s comment to reporters did not rule out some favorable reac- tion to Nehru from Acheson on the principle of striving for peaceful settlement, provided basic condi- tions are met by the Communists. The comments did appear to close the door on any mediation Nehru might have in mind in so far as | the United States is concerned.

FAY WASHINGTON, July 14 — P — A decision on whether to call the National Guard and Armed Forces Reserves to active duty may be reached soon after the return to- Chiefs from the Far East. An informed official said today the Defense Department is awaiting their return before deciding finally on whether to recommend those steps to the White House. The Department apparently has advised the White House that such action may be necessary, but has not forwarded a definite recqm- mendation. General J. Lawton Collins, Army Vandenberg, the Air Force chief, are due in Washington tomorrow. They have been in Tokyo conferring with Gen. Douglas Macarthur on his needs. With them they presumably will bring the latest picture of the Ko- requests MacArthur made. may have have been away, the strategy-mak- ing Joint Chiefs of Staff have been operating with only two members, Gen.

The opening of the offensive was heralded by the Reds’ deadly in- tiltration tactic, a front line dis- patch said. Communist guerrillas who sneaked behind U.S. lines, wearing uniforms possibly taken from American dead, struck at the U.S. forces in the rear while the Reds threw an artillery barrage across the river, An advance headquarters spokes- man said the Reds brought up two or three divisions to the Kum river to face the greatly outnumbered Americans on the south bank. The front dispatch said intense fighting began .by night (Korean time) on the Kum river front after the Communists dared heavy Amer- ican artillery and fighter plane fire to send a small jabbing shock force across the stream. It was the first breach of the Kum river line, last bastion before Taejon, emergency capital. The South Korea govern- ment was reported to have fled Taejon and a curfew and alert were ordered in the eity. AMIM Press reporter Leif Erickson, in a dispatch from Ameri- can advance headquarters, quoted a headquarters spokesman as saying the Red guerrillas . attacked -sud- denly from the rear, clad in green twill fatigue uniforms such as Americans wear. He said presum- ably these were taken from.Ameri- can dead or war prisoners, The advance Communist force which reached the south bank of the Kum numbered possibly 100 men but posed a serious nighttime threat to the doubly exposed Americans fighting to prevent a Red bridgehead buildup. Despite heavy American artillery and fighter plane fire, the Com- munist force waded across the river in what looked like an attempt to hold a bridgehead for a flanking movement against American posi- tions guarding Taejon. To the east, the outnumbered de- fenders worried over another Com- munist flanking movement which threatened to cut off the Kum river positions and Taejon from their supply port, Pusan. The Reds drove toward Hamchong and Andong, #4 and 75 miles east of Taejon and about 60 miles north of Taegu on the Pusan-Taejon highway. Big Guns ‘Duel An artillery duel preceded the Communist river crossing west of Konju, on the river’s south bank, held by the U.S. 34th Infantry regi- ment. Red guns covering the cross- ing were silenced for a time by the American counter barrage. Moscow radio, quoting front dis- patches, reported North Korean armies advancing on all fronts, and said North Korean air strength was growing. The Moscow press ridi- culed the United Nations action in Korea as a cloak for American aggresison. Gen. MacArthur ac- cepted the U.N. flag for his com- mand today and promised his forces would do all possible “to uphold this noble ideal.” The United States, said Washing- ton dispatches, is quietly informing other interested U.N. members that it would welcome their ground forces in Korea, although there is no official expectation that any but the Americans would carry the main burden. A number of UN. members have sent sea and air help, but Britain and France, the two most likely prospects for greund force help, have their own Communist troubles in Asia. Might be Lure The feeling was growing in Wash- ington that Russia might be trying to lure the Western Allies into such great military efforts in Korea that there would be no challenge to ag- gression elsewhere. With fears of a broadened con- flict rising, the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee indicated (Continucd on Page Elght)
