APPROVED PALMER LAND TRANSACTION! (Continued from Page 1) R L a “washout transaction” in connec- tion with the purchase. In the letter Plett explainéd the arrangements as follows: On Apr. 11, 1950, the Territory paid the Palmer Airport Associa- tion, a non-profit, private organi- zation, $150,000, and 13 days later the association returned all but $5,000, which had gone to acquire land not previously owned by the association. The association then re- leased the land to the Territory, provided it hold an option to take back the airport on behalf of Palmer if a municipal corporation ever was formed. Plett said the deal is an eligible project cost, whether construed as {a purchase or a gift, and he inclosed an opinion of Frank R. Yates, acting Comptroller 'General, supporting his statement. | INVESTIGATING ' HEAD ‘KNOWS NOTHING’ OF i !+ LAND TRANSACTIONS WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 — B —, Chairman Hoey (D-NC) ‘said today | his Senate ' Investigating ' subcom- mittee has no present plans to look" into the Palmer, Alaska, airpor!,' transaction. “It has not been brought to our | attention,” Hoey told a reporter. | Senator Butler (R-Neb) said in a Senate speech yesterday that Terri- | torial officials, with the approval of | Gov. Ernest Gruening, tried to col- | lect from the federal government $37,500 to which Alaska is not en- titled. The deal, he said, involved placing tan “inflated value” on 127.94 acres of land for the Palmer Airport, re- ceiving a kickback from the seller and billing the federal government for 25 percent of the inflated price under the Federal Airport Act. Butler, a leading opponent of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii, demanded a Senate probe of the transaction. Hoey said Butler had not discussed the matter with him. Butler charged that the purpose of the “washout transaction” ar- ranged between the Territory and the Palmer Airport Association was to recover a part of the $50,000 spent on the old Palmer airport in 1946. At that time the Territory of Alaska was not included in the Federal Aid Airport law applying to the states. The deal, he said, involved sale of the land to the Territory for $150,000, with a rebate of $145,000 to the Territory.

Reds Batter Ships In the past week Red batteries on the islands have fired on three merchant ships—British, American and Norwegian . In Washington Senator Wiley (R- Wis.) said the Russians had ‘“baited a trap” to involve the U. S. with the Chinese Communists in a strug- gle which would “bleed us com- pletely dry.” He called for an all- out effort to keep the - Chinese Communists from being involved in ‘the ; Korean struggle. 5 A Washington, t0o,. it was :be= lieved by many that the Russiahs in cooperation with Red China may reoccupy | North ‘' Korea. ' An allied offensive beyond the 38th Paralfel would thus involve direct fighting withy Russia. London informants said U. S, French and British foreign min- isters in their September conference may try to hammer out a common policy on Formosa. At present Britain is making 1t plain she is not committed to President Tru- man’s policy of defending Formosa, Chinese Nationalist base. MacArthur's headquarters had not yet assessed the results of the | massive B-29 attack Wednesday on the 25-mile area west of the Nak- tong River where 60,000 Red troops were estimated to have gathered for a supreme offensive against Taegu. Navy pilots reported the destruc- tion or damage of 3¢ tanks in new sweeps. Fifth Air Force pilots said they damaged eight tanks in groufid support attacks, using a new 6%%-inch tank-Killer rocket that had been rushed into production only four weeks ago.

Hermann, Tef« ritorial Commander, under whose direction the program in Alaska is; { being carried on. Juneau’s contributions in the reg- ular cancer crusade were very satis- factory from the standpoint of money received, according to local crusade contributions from a few especially interested people rather than an all-out, city-wide parucigation. “But,” he added “hopefully, “If every person, every business house, every organization that has not yet contributed to the fund, and send in even a dollar during this next two weeks, it would put Ju- neau on a very high level, per capita wise. It could easily reach proportions that would save a life for some Juneau victim of the dread malady, or enable some fel- low citizen to have much needed treatment now denied him. It is easy to contribute to the cancer crusade, Carter pointed out. Just put a dollar—or more, check or cash—in and envelope and ad- dress it to Box 422, and it will speedily reach its destination and help other dollars do the job in Alaska that needs to be done to- ward control of this great killer. A final mop-up campaign is now under way throughout Alaska, Car- ter pointed out, to insure that everyone who wants to contribute can get his contribution in before August 31, So every day during the next 10 days is dollar day for Cancer in every community in Alaska, and if every dollar comes in that can easily be spared in this area, for this importnt work, | there is no doubt that Alaska’s per capita showing will match that of any Division within the American | Cancer Society's great national or- ganization. “We appreciate more than I can possibly say.” Mrs, Hermann said today, “the generous contributions that have been made either during the regular campaign for funds and as memorials to cancer victims, but this is no job for a few to do. Cancer is everyone's business, and what we would really like is to have every person in Alaska, w7o can afford to do so, to invest a dollar in an interest in the Cancer Control program. Then we couM really go places with this work.” NOTICE The new telephone directories have now been distributed within the Juneau city limits.
