The 15,900-fqot peak in the Fair- weather area is about 90 air miles | west of Juneau and 30 to 40 miles | north of Cape Spencer, Flying according to calculanonx of a meteorologist at Elmendoxh Air Force Base, Anchorage, searching B-17 located the wrcckage exactly according to “forecast.” The weatherman had calculated corrections the pilot would have to | make due to two low-pressure areas in the Kenai Peninsula-Gulf - of Alaska region. The four-engine craft disap- peared Saturday while enroute from McChord Air Force Base near Ta- | | coma, Wash.,, to its home base near | Anchorage. Planes Converge Here | With arrival last night of a C-54 | and a C-47 from Elmendorf, to join a 10th Air Rescue Squadron C-47| already here, Juneau hecame the base for operations of removing the six occupants of the crashed plane. Capt. Roy L. Holdiman, 10th Rescue executive officer, "is in charge of all removal operations from here. He expects to use the twin-en- gined ski-plane, hoping to be able to land on Brady Gilacier. Holdl- man has made numerous landmgs on the Juneau Ice Cap. Experienced paratroop specialists such as Maj. Z. J. Bacqewski, para-medic, are among members of | the 10th Rescue trail crew arriving last night from Elmendorf. Med- ical and surgical supplies, litters and other emergency gear were brought. Most of today, flight and trail crews of all three ships were rest- lessly awaiting a weather break for the trip into the treacherous Bra- bazon country. Passes there are narrow, downdrafts frequent, and weather today was stormy. At best, with ideal conditions, the removal operation would be tricky and difficult, say the Air Force experts. Civilian Experts, Too To land or drop trail crews was | a problem that would have to await arrival near the crash scene and a quick on-the-spot decision.

When that session convenes, Soviet delegate Jacob Malik will be in the chair. “The Russians are sticklers for protocol, take very seriously the duties of office. The man who has been actually counting the votes in recent meetings of the Security Council on Korea is the Russian assistant secre- tary—General Constantin Zin- chenko. “The Russians now realize their absence prevented them from using the veto in the Korean controversy; so if they could get back without loss of face, they would like te grab that veto again. “That’s why the Soviets may \é‘anum'xed on Pné: Four) | cerned,” | ing what can be salvaged of prom- CANNERY WORKERS, (OPPOSE PRESSURE FROM ILWU GROUP BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 1— 14" —Members of the Cannery Work- ers Union, No. 36, voted unani- mously today to oppose ‘“unauthor- ized pressure from unions not con- and work toward bring- ised shipments of Alaska pack sal- mon here for labeling. With the strong indorsement of | the Port of Bellingham, the workers | - | gathered at a special meeting called | by President Mrs. Roy M. Furr and went on record in support of a pro- gram forwarded by officers of the Columbia River Packers Associa- tion. The program, as anticipated by | Nick Bez, chairman of the board of | Columbia Packers, has been to dis- \pmch between 100,000 and 200,000 6ases of salmon packed in the com- panyi canneries in Alaska here for labeling by the local plant’s crews | during the slack months. Joe Jurich of the fishermen’s di- vision, ILWU (CIO), had informeéd local company officials and union officers that this salmon could not be handled in Bellingham. The group said he informed them that if the salmon came here, it would have to be handled at public ware- house prices. “This is your opportunity to show | | whether or not you will be dictated to by outside sources on matters solely up to you,” said Harry Isler, manager of the port in reaffirming | the port’s support of the workers position, ROTARY HEARS THOMAS; HISTORY U.S. COAST GUARD Members of Juneau Rotary Club | were. in for a real treat this noon at their regular meeting in the Gold Room at Baranof Hotel. Lowell Thomas, world famous ra- dio commentator and reporter was a guest, introduced by President Ellis Reynolds. Thomas literally “rolled 'em in the aisles,” with a running commentary of “cracks” at various members, revealing why he is one of the top men in his business. He called mem- bers by name and related anec- dotes and personalities about them which showed with what thorough- ness he must have checked on them before the luncheon and, more re- markably, remembered names and stories. As a more serious vein, Thomas related that this was not his first trip to Alaska. He was here 36 years ago with a motion picture machine and traveled the Territory with General Richardson, ‘“the road man.” He mentioned also, that to- | day’s Rotary invitation marked hisc first time as a guest in Alaska, adding incidentally, his regret that he had just before bought and pald for his own lunch. As the report was not yet com- plete, matters pertaining to the Soap Box Derby were postponed until a later meeting. Commander C. McG. Morrison, of the local Coast Guard unit, gave an interesting history of the Coast Guard which will celebratc its 160th birthday August 4. He pointed out it was authorized under the nation’s first congress in New York in 1789, under George Washington, and came into service on Aug. 4, 1790, known as the Revenue Marige Serv- ice, then the Revenu Cutter Service and later, under Alexander Hamil- ton, the U.S. Coast Guard. He related its splendid record of war at sea against pirates and smug- glers, and its as great record of sea rescues. He enumerated its many and varied duties as connected with every branch of government. Concluding, he said, “True to its motto, “Semper Paratus,” (always ready), the Coast Guard stands to- day in operational readiness to per- form its present missions and to immediately become a part of the U.S. Navy should the President so direct.” FROM PELICAN Gibson Young of Pelican is a guest at the Juneau Hotel. - AT GASTINEAU ‘Ward Morris of Haines is stop- ping at the Gastineau Hotel.

This course provides the best hope of deterring future cal- | of the world.” He Will Get It Mr. Truman had advised Con- gressional leaders at a White House conference yesterday that he would ask for the $4,000,000,000. The reaction in Congress indi- cated there was general sentiment to provide it. However, the Senate took occas- iorf, in acting on another foreign ald measure,"to serve motice that it thinks the time has come for the nations to stand up and be zounted in the fight against Com- munism, It did this by writing into a $34,765,000,000 one-package appro- priations bill power for the Pres- dent to cut off economic recovery fuses help for the United Nations tight in Korea. There were also rising demands for arms aid to nations outside the Atlantic pact. Aid to Western Europe There are many senators who want, for instance, to help Spain. The $4,000,000,000 Mr. Truman asked would be in addition to the $1,222,500,000 already authorized for the second year of the foreign arms aid program. Most of the new money would be spent to strengthen Western Europe. Mr. Truman gave this break down of the proposed spending in | his letter to Rayburn: $3,504,000,000 “for strengthening the security of the North Atlantic area,” “The security of this area is of paramount importance to the strength of .the entire free world,” he said. $193,000,000 “to accelerate and in- crease the important programs of military assistance to Greece, Tur- key and Iran.” $303,000,000 “to increase and ac- celera‘e military assistance to the Republic of the Philippines and to other nations in southern and eastern Asia.” BASEBALL RAINED scheduled game between the Coast Guard and the Moose was conse- quently called off. Now look at the schedule for the second half of the 1950 season— the end of the season but, there are seven .games that have been called off by weather conditions. In fact, there have been only five games played in the second half. Weather conditions at 1 o’clock to- day were not good either for a game tonight, a postponed game at that. COAST GUARDSMEN J. W.

E. Robertson, chairman of Juneau’s civil defense committee, said. The announcement was made after the first meeting of the com- mittee, held last night in the City Hall. Robertson said the one-two alarm would be repeated over and over in | case of impending attack “to avoid confusion with any other alarm.” The alert will not be sounded for practice without being publicized well in advance, he said. | At the meeting last night, prepa- !rations were made to put into ef- fect immediately an organization Isuch as the one that operated here | during World War Ir. ‘!4 Tom Dyer, Joe A. Williams and | George A. Parks were appoinied deputy directors of the civilian de- fense organization. A. B. Phillips was named secretary. All were mem- | bers of the civil defense council dur- ing the past war. Action was taken to divide Juneau unLo sectors under patrol captains, and to arrange for cooperative effort ‘\ulh various organizations and in- | stitutions for the protection of life I and property in the event of a raid | Robertson stated. “Fortunately, many loyal citizens | who served as leaders and member: |of vartous patrois and defense | groups during the last war will be in a position to act in those capac- ities again,” Robertson declared. “The council will call on them tc join the defense organization again {in the near future,” he continued. He said all members of the de- fense organization will be required to swear an oath of allegiance td. the United States and to wear identifying insignia. Every membe: will carry a card of identification, | he said. Mayor Waino Hendrickson, who attended the first meeting of the civil defense organization, said he believed the City Council would enact civil defense ordinances at its next meeting.

WATKINS WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—(®—The Senate probably won't be able to consider statehood bills for Alaska ind Hawaii until some time next week, at the earliest. want to bills become law,” Senator Mag- nuson (D-Wash.) sald today, “but I don't see how we can possibly get to them before some time next | week.” Bills to admit both Territories to the Union have been passed by the House and approved by the Senate insular committee. Program in Senate Magnuson told a reporter he be- lieved the appropriations bill now before the Senate can be disposed of by tomorrow. Then, he said, President Truman's emergency powers bill probably will be given the right-of-way, after which at \east one day will be devoted to 5ills concerning the maritime in- Justry. “And if the President’s tax bill is received before that time it orobably will again delay calling up che statehood bills,” Magnuson ad- | ded. Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.), chairman of the insular committee, agreed that the tax bill could be another block in the path of the statenood bilis. Opposes Alaska Bill Senator Cordon (R-Ore.) has been waiting for an opportunity to call up the Hawaiian bill some- time after the appropriations meas- ure is completed. He has said he would not object to calling up the Alaska bill at the same time al- though he has declared opposition to it. Senator Watkins (R-Utah) said today he believes any attempt to call up the statehood bills will involve the Senate in a long dis- pute. A membier of the commitiee which endorsed the bils, Watkins predicted a motion to call up the bills would meet with a sharp op- position. There were reports—on which no senator would comment—that some members would like to see the Ha- | walian bill brought up and then laid aside to permit the Senate to ‘ake up the Mundt-Nixon anti- Communist bill. That strategy would mean another delay in Sen- ate consideration of the statehood | measures, CHANCES DIMMED WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 — ® — Chances dimmed today for early Senate consideration of bills to walii. Senator Lucas (D-IIl.), majority leader, told reporters the legisla- tion was not discussed at a meeting of the Democratic policy committee this afternoon. he had no plans for calling up the statehood bills, Lucas said he understood that if the legislation were brought up, southern senators would move to Juneau were aboard bound for the | consider instead the Mundt-Nixon | anti-Communist bill. He said also that Senator Langer (R-ND) had told him he would offer fair em- ployment practices legislation place of the statehood bills if they were called up. Therefore, Lucas said it seemed useless to him to put the Alaska- Hawaii bills before the Senate. Tie said such a about a parliamentary tangle and delay other business.

FATEOFILWU LEADER TO BE DECIDED SOON SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1—#— | Swift action is expected on a gov- | ernment request that a Federal Court revoke the $25,000 bond which | has given labor leader Harry Bridges freedom since his conviction lmstl April on perjury and conspiracy charges. Federal Judge George B. Harrls said he will hear arguments on the | | government’s motion tomorrow. The | date was set after the bench over- ruled arguments of Paul Leonard, | Bridges’ attorney, that more time |wn.s needed by the defense to pre- pare its case. The Justice Department yesterday asked that Eridges’ bond be can- celled—an action which would send the left-wing maritime union offi- cial to jail. In moving that the bail be re- voked, F. Joseph Donohue, special | assistant to the United States Al-} torney General, described Bridges as a “direct menace to the security of this country.” Affidavits filed by Donohue made | | extensive reference to Bridges' atti- tude toward the Korean conflict. It | was stated that Bridges has been | active in opposing United States and | United Nations policy regarding Ko- | Irea. There also has been considerable friction between Bridges, president lof the CIO Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union, and other | members, over his attitude toward | Korea. Several locals up and down the coast have passed resolutions sup- porting American and UN policy. Bridges, 4 native of Australia, will be allowed to testify at the hearing, if he wishes, but apparently no | other witnesses can be heard.

Russ Attempt To Oust China Beaten in UN |Ruling by Sowei Security| + Council President Is Voted Down 8-3 | l | LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 1—ip—| | Russia’s Jakob A. Malik returned to | | the United Nations today, ending a 1'l month boycott, and was beaten down in an attempt to rule the| Chinese Nationalists out of the Se- curity Council. This was the first ruling of the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister as | August President of the Council. Malik declared the Chinese Na- tionalist delegation in the Security Council to be “usurpers,” sitting in seats belonging to the Communist regime of Mao Tze-tang. U.S. Dele- gate Warren R. Austin immediately challenged Malik’s ruling. The | council's 11 members backed up Austin, 8-3. Voting to back Malik's ruling were Russia, Yugoslavia and India. Voting to overthrow the ruling were; the United States, Britain, France, | Nationalist China, Cuba, Norway.‘ Ecuador and Egypt. Malik announced that seven “plus the Kuomintang group” had voted. against his ruling. Malik returned to the Security Council after a boycott of almost seven months. Under the regular procedure, he was council president for August, and contended he had full aythority to rule against the right of Nationalist China to sit in the session. His ruling on China came quickly, ahd the council|tide plunged into debate on his right to make it.

FRESH ARMY TROOPS POUR INTO BATTLE Red Spearhead 40 Miles from Pusan - New Pushes Expected (By the Assoclated Press) The North Koreans punched to within .40 miles of Pusan today while a steady stream of American Army reinforcements poured ashore. The Reds made a 10-mile advance following their capture of Chingju near the south coast on Monday, and were within 15 miles of Masan, a small port. Two more US. Army units de- barked at a South' Korean port, | probably Pusan, following the ar- rival of the Second Infantry Di- vision Monday. Advance “office force” elements of the First Marine Division arrived_by air. The fight- ing men of the Marines were ex- pected almost any time. ‘The First Cavalry and 25th In- fantry Divisions on the central and northwestern fronts made short withdrawals. The enemy’s lancing columns were poised at points 32, 33 and 52 miles northwest, south- west and north of Taegu, provi- sional South Korean capital on the MacArthur supply line to Pusan. The enemy was shifting forces for new and stronger pushes. But the American withdrawals were described in.a communique as a smoothing and consolidating of the lines. A headquarters spokes- man said it is not far off when the he belleved phase in which things kept getting worse is about over. Red Advance Stopped The Red advance on the north, a pilot reported, appeared to have been stopped when the Communists got into Andong and were met by street battlers. American and Australian Air Forces flew from dawn hunting | crawling columns of North Korean Infantry in mountain passes. The spearhead of a probing North Korean column, which appeared to be in division strength or greater, was turned back by 24th Division troops and South Koreans outside Kochang on the western front where one thrust was aimed at ‘Taegu. Commies Chased An American Colonel said mortar fire chased the Communists into the hills and “our South Koreans took off right after them.” Gen. Douglas MacArthur's com~- munique sald American withdrawals on the north and central fronts were not “forced” but were for the purpose of putting the troops in better positions. The First Cavalry Division said it destroyed 16 enemy tanks. The names and numbers of the new Army units arriving in Korea to reinforce the U.S. Second In- fantry Division which landed Mon- day were not disclosed. One sailed from a port outside the US.A. It could be the Fifth Regi- mental Combat Team of about 4,000 men alerted in Hawail on July 13. It was the last U.S. occupation force in Korea. Fighters Well Armed The fighting men of the US. First U.S. Marine Division, armed with new 35-inch tank killer bae zookas, flame throwers and heavier equipment not yet used in Korea, are still on the way. They have been enroute from the U.S. Pacific coast for two weeks. An American intelligence officer said it was believed the enemy has now committed all his available divisions to the battleline or is moving them into it. “He is exerting his last ounce of strength in an attempt to smash through and drive our forces into the sea,” the officers said. A MacArthur spokesman who pre- viously had estimated Red casu- alties at 37,500 said the losses “are probably greater than we realize” but would not prevent the enemy from continuing to attack. These losses, together with Ameri- can reinforcements, mean that American commanders can now “af- ford to sell ground a little more cheaply,” he added.
