Survivors Survivors include a stepdaughter, |Mrs. Cleo Boyce of Seattle; two nephews, Austin G. Cooley, head of | the New York Times photo section, |and Frank E. Richardson of Weed, Calif.; and two nieces, Mrs. | Ward Green, Kent, Wash., and Mrs. | Fred L. Smith, Seattle. When construction of the Alaska | Railroad began in 1914, Lathrop moved to Anchorage and set up a transfer business there. He also bought a theater and built an apart- | ment house. ‘With completion of the railroad |in 1922, he headed northward to ‘ Fairbanks, where he bought another | theater. | He rebuilt the theater, making it of concrete. It was the first build- ing of that type and size in northern Alaska. “People thought I was crazy,” he used to comment. Since then, his operations here | expanded. He put up a second the- | ater in both Fairbanks and Anchor- age and built the modern Lathrop | building here, which houses the Fairbanks News-Miner, his newspa- | per; and KFAR, his radio station. | “T've financed a lot of gold mines, | but I've never been a gold miner | myself,” he told cronies. He made one unsuccessful at- | tempt at gold mining around Nome | in 1900, but never went back to it. NO CONTROLS NEEDED YH,i (Continued from Page 1) cized President Truman and Con- gress yesterday, saying they have; not moved far enough or fast! for a finish-fight against Com- munism. i Bluntly he said all-out controls must be clamped on things, and the sooner, the easier for the Amer- ican people While most Congressional leaders | shied away from the Baruch pro- posal, Senator Sparkman told a reporter he would ask the Senate banking committee to con- sider it fully. | In other developments: | | 1. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) an-| nounced that a committee of GOP | senators from the banking, finance | and armed services commiftess would begin drafting today pro- posed amendments to curtail some »f the administration’s bill for pro- duction and credit controls. Taft said that controls voted now might urn out to be permanent and Congress should move cautiously. 2. The Senate unanimously pas- sed a bill removing all limits on the size of the armed forces until July 31,°1954. The House had pas- sed the bill without any time limit and now the two versions must be reconciled. | 3. The House armed services :Lommltlee continued its prepared- { the SAYS TRUMAN| : July 28 e¢nough to get the nation ready ‘ At noon—Lions Club, Baranof. —American Legion, Dug- | Harbor.

It would discuss things like price and . wage controls with National BILL VOTE Although President Truman thinks there is no need now for price-wage controls considerable sentiment for them in Congress was demonstrated when a House com- mittee turned down a “freeze” bill by only one vote. With that vote—it was 10 to 9— out of the way, the House Banking Committee then approved a large part of Mr. Truman’s proposals for limited economic controls to or- ganize the home front behind the fight against Communist aggression. The committee did .not complete action on the administration bill, but okehed sections providing authority to force use of plants and materials for military and other essential purposes. Rep. Kunkel (R-Pa), offered the committee a substitute for the Tru- man bill. Kunkel's measure called for a general freeze of prices and wages, and would authorize a sys- tem of rationing, if needed. Having lost by only one vote, Kunkel indicated he would offer the plan again when the administration bill reaches the House floor. President - Truman's statement that he doesn't think all-out con- trols are now needed was made at a news conference. He had been asked for comment on the proposal from Bernard M. Baruch for an im- mediate “ceiling on everything.” Before the Senate Banking Com- mittee, further light on the admin- istration’s thinking was shed by Attorney General McGrath. Under questioning from Senator Sparkman (D-Ala), McGrath said the question of all-out controls and rationing had been “thoroughly dis- cussed” by President Truman and his advisers and their conclusion was that they are not needed now “if the conflict does not spread be- yond Korea.” COMMUNITY EVENTS TODAY At 6:30 pm. — Juneau Rifle and Pistol Club at Mendenhall range. !
