Mayor Hendrickson said that a number of Juneau residents, well| qualified to serve on an advisory city planning commission, have vol- | unteered to do so. ’ He said a planning commission, if | 1t-is set up, should be appointed by the council and be non-political. It | should be empowered to draw up a; “priority plan” for future improve- ments and to hear the suggestions | ¥ offered by other Juneau citizens. ‘The council instructed City Attor- ney Howard Stabler to study ord- | inances setting up planning com- missions in other cities and report | his findings to the council. | Mayor Hendrickson also suggested | that a Port Commission be set up by | the city to plan for the future use of the tidelands and to deal with harbor problems. He said that the $ U.S. Army Engineers have expressed | their favor of a plan to establish such a commission. No action was taken in this mat- rate is set up. Earner ‘1nis xear The rate of tax levy will be set up earlier this year than in the past. The ordinance providing for the taxing of automobiles at the same. time that they are licensed— at the beginning of the year—was amended before being adopted last night to include a provision for set- ting the millage rate for property tax at a Council meeting on the of the third. The amendment was designed to give city officials more time to pre- pare and mail tax statements. A second new ordinance, read for the third time and adopted last night, provides for the increase in card table license fees to $35 per table. In the past the fee has keen $20 for any number of tables up to four and $5 per table for each table over four. The council announced that it had decided to purchase a snow- | loading vehicle for $10,510 complete at the factory. The new machine |will be equipped with heavy-duty axles for climbing Juneau's hills. an enclosed cab, large wheels, and a cleated belt, It is expected to substantially speed up the loading of trucks during snow removal oper- ations during the winter.

Note—While Drew Pear- son is on a brief vacation, his column will be written by mem- bers of his staff). /ASHINGTON — The most glar- § ing weakness in our law enforce- ment system is the way underworld * hoodlums are able to thumb their noses at the authorities—with the help of political pals. For example, take the case of | Sylvestro Carolla, notorious New | Orleans racketeer and big shot in| the “Black Hand” underworld soc- iety. When Carolla was convicted | on a narcotics rap in 1936, immi- | gration authorities tried to deport| him to his native Italy. However, | théy found themselves up against| the old political runaround. Year after year, Congressman Jimmy Morrisort of Louisiana introduced a succession of bills to keep Carolla in this country. | Though this held up Carrolla’s | deportation for a decade, he was! finally kicked out and flew home| to Italy in style. But he stayed| only six months, and then was; ordered back to Mexico by Lucky Luciano, former vice lord of New York City and international boss of the “Black Hand.” The nem‘ thing immigration authorities knew, | Carolla was operating out of Tiju- | ana, Mexico, and slipping over the | border to New Orleans by plane. Once again the authorities nailed | him—which puts them right back here they started. Noté—another notorious racketeer | held | ¢ whose deportation has been up is Orlando Portale of Detroit.

The council passed a motion pro- viding for the repair of the police department’s panel truck, which has been replaced by a new sedan, for use as a city utility car. A worn-out pickup truck wlil be sold after the panel truck is repaired. Rent Controls A letter was read which requested that the city express its wishes re- garding the continuance of rent controls, which are scheduled to be removed December 31. To have them continued, a resol- ution or referendum must be passed by the'city stating that a housing shortage still exists in the city. No action was taken on this matter, but Mayor Hendrickson in- | | dicated that an expression of opm- | FORMER RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR NAMED NEW CHIEF OF C. I.

The raise would bring their hourly scale to $3.50. The strike, which temporarily tied up millions of dollars worth of Alaska defense work, brought a call for early settlement by Secretary of Defense Johnson and other govern- ment officials. The settlement meet- ing here was called by Cyrus S. Ching, head of the U.S. Mediation and Conciliation Service. Commenting upon unofficial re- ports of the wage hike, Larry Moore, Alaska manager for the Associated General Contractors, said: “This raise for plumbers is bound to be felt in all walks of life in Alaska.” “All Will Want It” He predicted that there would be “an insistent demand from all labor to apply for the same thing the plumbers got.” “If that happens it will make pri- vate building impossible in Alaska in the future, and will greatly in- crease government building costs as well.” Involved in the strike, which started July 26, were about 225 | plumbers, members of Local 367, Plumbers and Steamfitters Union (AFL). Fairbahks plumbers won a 50- cent hourly wage increase last month, bringing their scale to $3.50. The Anchorage plumbers were re- ported unofficially to have won time and a half for overtime and Saturday work and double time for over 10 hours and Sundays. table. He said many of the outside con- tractors agreeing to the seulement‘ were “One-Time Charleys” in! Alaska for one job and with no future interests. “The whole thing was contrary to the customary way of doing busi- ness in Alaska,” Moore said. “Out- siders should conform with stand- ard practices there. This time, they didn’t.” Looks for Others “We have to deal with eight basic trades — laborers, teamsters, etc. Very likely they'll be wanting to re- open negotiations in view of this plumber settlement. | “No doubt the Fairbanks settle- | ment for $3.50 an hour prompted this Anchorage demand. In An- chorage we contract with the unions at a uniform time. In Fair- banks the contracts with firms were staggered — what we call ‘single- shooting. So when one Fairbanks contractor-gave way, the others had to follow, or they wouldn’t get any plumbers. “If this boost spreads to other building crafts it's going to mean a big loss of money to contractors who already have contracted to do cer- tain jobs for certain fixed fees to be completed by a certain time—in many cases, next year. “And if this boost spreads to the building crafts, it also will spread to the clerks and others who also will want increases. It will send the entire economy of the territory spir- aling.” SURVEY UNDERWAY PUMP 1S BROKEN A survey is being made of the small boat harbor to isolate the high spots so that dredging can be completed next week by the Munter | Construction Co., Inc. The survey will be completed Tuesday with a partial survey after the high spots are dredged out. In charge of the survey is George Plack, Palmer resident engineer. Others in his party are Fred Patch- ing, B. B. Rewey, and Don Golden. Assisting in the completion of the survey are Fred Seldell, resident engineer for Wrangell Narrows, Ernie Escola and Pat Ridley.

Word of the Thayer's return was contained in a radio-telephone- call from Capt. Ed Shields, master of the Thayer, to his brother, John, at Seattle.

Moir! of Glendale, Calif., are guests at AEGU Reds Strafed At Brigehead, lose22_00 Men South Koreans Make Sur- prise Landing Near In- chon, Communist Base (By the Assoclated Press) ‘The threat to Taegu, strategic United Nations rail center, was eased today as North Korean Communists retreated on two fronts north and southwest of the city. Resistance was desertbed as light or moderate but a spokesman at Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters warned that the Reds had three to five divisions, possibly 50,000 men still poised north of Taegu, aban- doned this week as the South Ko- rean provisional capital. South Koreans made a surprise landing—the first Allied action of its kind in the war—on Tokchock Is- land, 35 miles southwest of Inchon, port of Seoul. A Navy spokesman said Tokchock may have been a Red center for waterborne reinforce- ments. In the critical area north of Taegu, U. 8. and Korean troops drove the enemy back toward Kum- wha. Their counterattack against huge Red forces that threatened Taegu Thursday has pushed the in- vaders back two and a half miles in three days of bitter fighting. The Reds also fell back in the Changnyong sector southwest of Taegu. U.S. Marines and Infantry- men advanced uhder the cover of held west” bank of the Naktong river. The Reds appeared to have given up most of their Changnyong bridgehead. Flercest Fighting This was the scene of the fiercest fighting. American planes straffed and rocketed the Communists as they tried to flee back across the river. The onslaught from rockets, cannon fire and’ jellied gasoline bombs pulverized the Red Fourth Division, Maj. Gen. John H. Church said his men were out to “destroy that division entirely.” The U.S. Army estimated in Wash- ington that North Korean Com- munists have lost 50,000 men thus far in their invasion of South Ko- rea. South Korean forces had lost 37,000 men up to three weeks ago, an Army spokesman said. The fig- ures include killed, wounded and missing. The last roundup of American casualties, two weeks ago, was 2,616. The spokesman added that there will be no further roundup of Ameri- can casualties until they have no value to the enemy. A spokesman at MacArthur's ‘Tokyo headquarters said the enemy lost 2,200 men Thursday along the whole perimeter—the biggest single day’s bag for United Nations forces. Reds Regrouping? The Communists, however, ap- peared to be regrouping massive forces in the area between Kunwi and Waegwan for another hammer- blow at Taegu. Three North Korean divisions—the Third, 13th and 15th were assembled in this sector. There was a possibility they were sup- ported also by the First and Second Red Divisions. The full significance of the South Korean landing on Tokchocki Island was not explained.
