THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXV., NO. 11,571 JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1950 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ey Show-Down Battle Looms on Korean {ront BALCHEN TRIES FLIGHT TO CRASH, RETURNS, WAITS 10th Rescufii Plane Is Forced to Turn Back at Cape Spencer On the slim chance of reaching the Mount Crillon area where wreckage of an Air Force C-54 was spotted Monday afternoon, Col. Bernt Balchen took off a few min- utes after 5 p.n. yesterday. The attempt to poke the ski- equipped twin-engine aircraft through or above the heavy over- cast in the Fairweather Range was unsuccessful, the airplane having to return after circling twice at Cape Spencer. At press time today, Colonel Bal- chen said, “I have been checking weather since 4 o’'clock this morn- ing; for a while, it looked as though we might get a break. Now, though, it has closed in again there, and we don’t see a chance of getting out.” Balchen had just finished a talk in which he stressed the fact that Arctic rescue operations are never abandoned until all hope is gone. Referring to that, Balchen re- marked, “Of course we will pursue the removal operation as soon as there is a chance.” Now special Arctic advisor to the Alaskan Air Command, the famous Northern flyer is former commander of the 10th Rescue Squadron, which remains under his supervision. A 10th Rescue ski-wheel C-47 is the only Air Force plane left here for the operation to remove the six occupants of the C-54 which crashed Saturday. It was spotted at about the 9,500-foot level on Mount Crillon or a nearby peak in the same moun- tain mass. Other Air Force planes which came in Monday and Tues- day have returned to their home base at Elmendorf Field, Anchorage Pilots, mountaineers, a doctor and other rescue experts have main- tained a state of readiness since the wreckage was sighted Monday by a B-17 searching party from An- chorage. There was no sign of the six occupants. The first flight from Juneau still is planned as reconnaissance, Bal- chen and his staff hoping an ice landing may be made on Brady Glacier, to base trail crew opera- tions. VISITING BOYS GO HOME David Dickinson ana Billy Sharp returned Monday to their home in Kent, Wash., via PAA after spend- ing their summer vacation 'here. David visiting his mother, Mrs. Ahreve Dickinson. Both boys were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Nygard.

Mr. Truman was told at a news conference that Senate Democratic leader Lucas had said there was no time to consider statehood legis- lation for Alaska and Hawaii.

He added that he| thought such legislation was im- portant to policy and to national defense, 1 VOICE OF LATHROP | ON AIR TONIGHT ON ANTI-TRUST SUITS Captain Austin E. Lathrop, Alaska’s pioneer industrialist, whose sudden death a week ago shocked all of the Territory, will be heard on KINY at 8:05 tonight. On the broadcast, Capt. Lathrop will make his only public state-! ment on the anti-trust suits in which he is one of many defendants.

ON LIGHT TACKLE SAYS RUSSIA HAS| BEEN DELIBERATE AGGRESSOR, KOREA WASHINGTON, Aug. 3—(M—Ed- win W. Pauley, former special | ambassador for the President, told senators today that the “Soviet| Union has been a deliberate ag- gressor in Korea as far back as May 28, 1946." | Pauley tes | fied before' the Sen- | ate armed services committee at special hearing on Korea. Chairman Tydings (D-Md.), in announcing the hearing yesterday, had refused to say who the wit- ness would be but declared “im- portant” testimony on Korea would be received. Cenators Bridges (R-NH) and Knowland (R-Calif.), who had been kept in the dark as to the wit- nesses’ names until just before the hearing, told reporters that Pauley | was Tydings' “mystery witness.” Pauley, a .California oil man, headed a U. S. reparations miss‘on after the close of World War II In that capacity, he visited Korea to learn what assets the Japanese had there.

However, in answer to a question | by Senator Lyndon Johnson ‘D-i Tex.) Pauley said that his state- | ment reflected only his own views and had not been submitted to any | department in advance. | Pauley said today he felt in 1946, | and still does, that the United States | should go to war with Russia if | necessary to make her comply with her agreements in Korea. After Pauley had finished reading | a lengthy statement about what he} found in 1946, Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) demanded to know what the point was. | He noted that Pauley said in 1946 | that Russia ought to have been forced to comply with her agree- | ments in Korea. Should the United | States have gone to war to make the Soviets comply? Johnson asked. “If you couldn’t do anything short of that, that was my recommenda- tions then and is now,” Pauley said. | | New York Disorders Quelled by Police; Arres!s_Are Made NEW YORK, Aug. 3—/M—Two thcusand left-wing “peace” march- ers, banned from staging a union | it proved for the high command: Now that the Salmon Derby is : cquare rally, battled 1,000 police sver’ the big ones feel safe in com- |late ycsterday in fist-flinging brawls Ing in . . .

Dy Bell Byndicate, Ine.) WSHINGTON — It is import- ant that the American public know the rules of news censorship laid down by General MacArthur for covering the Korean war. Theoretically, there is no censor- ship, since newsmen are not re- quired to show their dispatches to Army officers. However, General MacArthur has issued a definite directive to mnewsmen which is highly important and which, as reported by the K Columbia Broad- casting System, states that “eriti- cism of command decisions or the conduct of allied soldiers on the battlefield will not be tolerated,” Also significant is the fact that this new directive was issued .one day after Homer Bigart of the New York Herald Tribune cabled a dispatch analyzing the conduct of U. S. troops, reporting that they were untrained, and that top -offic- ers had to remain with them when under fire to keep them from breaking. Bigart reported that this was the reason why there were such heavy casualties among officers. The fact is that MacArthur had the largest segment of the U. 8. Army under him in Japan, and failure to train troops is, of course. a direct reflection on him and his chief commander, Lieut. Gen. Wal- ton Walker.

TROOPS | PENETRATE ENEMY LINES Baftalian Smashed 22, Miles Info Savage Red Territory, Returns By DON WHITEHEAD AN ADVANCED U.S. COMMAND POST, Korea, Aug. 3—M—This is the amazing story of a U.S. batta- lion that fought its way 22 miles behind the enemy miles, battled again and saved a regimental com- mand post from destruction in a savage struggle this morning. There hasn't been anything quite like this daring adventure in all the Korea War. The officers called it “a reconnaissance in force” and 1—That the enemy line can be| breached by a hard-hitting tank-led force. 2.—That the enemy is building up strong forces around Chinju for the drive eastward toward Masan and the vital port city of Pusan. z 1| Leaflets Dropped H The enemy dropped leaflets be- hind the American lines near Masan this morning urging natives to stay in their houses. The leaflets said the Red forces were preparing to at- tack in great force and drive the | American out. “We will liberate| you,” the Reds said. The battalion’s thrust into the/ enemy lines left no doubt the Reds have a strong force in the southern- | most drive headed toward Masan. | This battalion made a 36-hourj forced march south to reach the jumping off place for the dash to- ward Chinju. The boys had a few hours’ rest and then at 6 a.m. yes- terday they began their push. Troops of the U.S. 24th Division held their line firmly east of Chinju today after sending the tank-led battalion deep into enemy territory. Deep Penetration The tanks probed for miles behind enemy lines Wednesday in the deepest penetration American forces haye made in this war. (Maj. Gen. John E. Church. com- manding the 24th, told Associated Press Correspondent O. H. P. King: “Our timing was fortunate. Our at- tack stopped theirs from getting under way.”) The task force smashed through the enemy and caught rear Com-| munist elements by surprise. The Americans engaged the Reds in a roaring road battle, and rolled al- most into Chinju. The task force ran a gantlet of machine gun fire all the way. But it captured enemy documents, maps and Russian made equipment. In- telligence officers said these were important finds. Four Sherman tanks and four armored cars were abandoned. e o0 0 0 0 0 0 0 WEATHER REPORT In Juneau—Maximum, 52; minimum, 48. At Airport—Maximum, 56; minimum, 47.

SECURITY RISKS, ALASKA SHIPPING, ARE CHECKED SEATTLE, Aug. 3—(®—Members of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union (CIO) refused yesterday to sign ship's articles on the steamer Alaska unless assured the papers would not be turned over to mari- time security officials. “No third parties,” they told the S. shipping commissioner. Earlier some 65 union members met aboard ship. A spokesman then informed the deputy shipping commissioner the men would not swirender their sea papers if the papers were to be turned over to a “third party.” ‘The new security system for bar- ring Communists and subversives from American ships went into effect in U. S. ports Monday. It is a voluntary pact worked out by ship operators and sea unions in Washington, D. C., last week. U Most maritime unions were rep- | resented, but it was understood leaders of the Marine Cooks and Stewards and left-wing elements of Harry Bridges' International Longshoremen’s and Warehouse- men's Union (CIO) were not in- vited. Under the security program, sea- Imen’s papers are checked by Coast Guard screening officers to weed | out “bad security risks.” Aboard the Alaska, close-mouthed security | officers had set up an office in a ship’s cabin. They declined to discuss the situ- ation with reporters. Meanwhile other departments, in- cluding deck and engine room crews, licensed and unlicensed, signed articles for the next voyage, | scheduled to start today, aclay, without A union representattve said ho| did not care to comment for pub- lication on his department’s refusal to sign the articles. Ship’s articles are a contract en- | tered into between the master, as a representative of the ship’s owner, and the crew. This contract is re- newed at the outset of each new | voyage from the home port. Meanwhile the rival Pacific Ma- rine Stewards’ Union (Independent) announced it “stands ready to fur- nish individual crewmen or f6ll crews” as replacements for any vacancies that may occur under the security progrom. The union is militantly anti-..>mmunist. TROUBLE NOT OVER SEATTLE, Aug. 3—®—Refusal of CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards to have their sea papers checked by security officials was met by the | Sailors’ Union of the Pacific (AFL) CONTROLS BY TRUMAN DISCUSSED (Top Economic Mobilizer Urges Free Hand Be Given President WASHINGTON, Aug. 3—(M—The government's top economic mobili- zer urged today that President Tru- man be given a free hand in putting any wage-price-rationing controls into effect. W. Stuart Symington, chairman of the National Security Resources Board, made a special trip to the capitol to discuss the matter. He talked behind closed doors | with Chairman Maybank (BD-SC) of the Senate Banking Committee. Maybank told reporters Syming- ton emphasized that any standby plan for imposing wage, price and rationing curbs should let the Presi- dent decide when or whether they should be used. House Agreeable On the other side of the capitol the House appeared set to give the President powers to control virtually | every phase of American life. As demands mounted for across the board controls to curb infla- tion and what is needed in the Korean war, the only question ap- peared to be the form the Presiden- tial powers would take. Symington talked with Maybank as the Senate Banking Committee resumed discussion of a proposal which would deny the President discretionary -authority in putting wage price rationing curbs into ef- fect. Curb on Living Costs The committee began considering yesterday an automatic device for invoking such curbs when the cost of living reaches a certain point. A formula still is being worked out. Maybank said Symington did not directly oppose the automatic pro- posal, but concentrated on the idea of giving the President a free hand | Members of the committee dis- agreed today, however, as to whether the group had formally decided to adopt the suggestion by Senator Fulbright (D-Ark) to tie controls to the cost of living. Chairman Maybank (D-SC), who announced yesterday that the com= mittee did make such a decision by voice vote, told reporters today there was “just discussion of mak- ing a study ot some such procedure,” However, Sen.

There are plenty of loyal stewards available to man the ship.” The CIO stewards yesterday re-' fused to sign aboard the Steamship Alaska unless assured their sea papers would not be turned over to a “third party.” Reports today said the Alaska Steamship Company has demanded shat the s'ewards either sign on the ship or be paid off. Company and union officials were in con- ference today.

The House action is not final and could be reversed on a roll call vote. He said he has no objection to | stand-by authority to roll back prices to what they were during a period between May 24 and June 24. If you set an automatic price con- trol, he added, you are going to have an automatic spiral in prices. Stand-by Authority Mr. Truman said he prefers to have stand-by authority to act if | the situation justifies it rather than a procedure in which industry would police itself.

Objections of the labor leader’s attorney, Norman Leonard, were overruled 10 times by Federal Judge George B. Harris in the morning session of the hearing. The ‘“courtesy hearing” was ranted Bridges after the govern- ment petitioned to revoke his $25,- 000 bail. Leonard at one point. said he in- tended to press for cross-examina- tion of all that had been read into the record. “Are the rules of evidence not applicable?” Leonard asked. “Of course not,” special prosecu- tor F. Joseph Donohue almost snapped. Donohue then reiterated that this was not a trial, and that Bridges was a convicted felon who was being given a courtesy hearing in his efforts to prevent revocation of bail, Although denying Leonard's spec- ific objection, Judge Harris saic normal legal procedure was being followed. BRIDGES' UNION VOTES T0 SUPPORT UN KOREAN ACTION (By Associated Press) In San .Pedro last night, some 2200 members of Bridges’ longshore union voted full support for the United Nations action in Korea. This is the issue on which Bridges has been at odds with so-called rightwing factions of his union in recent weeks.
