For hatchet jobs on people in public office there is nothing like it in the history of the United States.” In denouncing White, Rivers said “he advanced no constructive pro- gram and did nothing but attempt to tear down the reputation and good work of people in public serv- ice.” William Strand, editor of the Fairbanks News-Miner, and the Republican party in general were excoriated as “shameless individuals conducting a smear campaign.” “The Democratic Party has not and will not indulge in any smear campaign,” Governor Gruening seid. He spoke briefly on the record of what he called the “do some- thing” 81st Congress and the “do nothing” Republican 80th Congress. In general discussions, the Demo- crats concentrated on defending the controversial Palmer airport tran- saction, a payment of $39,000 to Irene Ryan of Anchorage, and an $8,000 statehood lobbying fee.

The Washington Merry - Go - Round (Copyright. 1950, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON—Under the new anti-Communist law, any newspaper man can be put in jail for pub- lishing secret documents. Neverthe- less, I am going to publish a con- fidential State Department instruc- tion which happens to be one of the most important issued in five years. The secret memo is an instruc- tion to American delegates at the current UN General Assembly, and it states: ¢ “The aim of this critical session is to lift GA (abreviation fo General Assembly) out of the de- bating society class and make it an effective action agency when col- lective defense through SC (abrevi- ation for Security Council) is frus- trated. . .to organize GA effective- iy to deter further aggression.” In those 38 words is summed up the most important reversal of American policy in years. In those 38 words is also spelled the hop- es for future peace in the world. It is a reversal because at San Francisco where the United Na- tions was founded in 1945, Ameri- can delegates insisted that the new organization be dominated by the Big Three powers on the Secruity Council. At that time we were just as strong for the veto as the Rus- sians. So were the British and French. The veto was our joint and mutual baby. Big vs. Little Nations At that time also, the smaller nations, led by dynamic, farsight- ed Foreign Minister Evatt of Aus- tralia, tried to curtail the veto; tried to increase the power of the General Assembly. New Zealand, Greece, the Scandinavian countries fought for this principle. They knew what the veto meant. They realized that when the big powers sat down in the Secruity Council, they would be just as deadlocked as on the council of the Belgium, all (Continued on Pnée Four) tionalist China could not veto an invitation to the Chinese Com- | munists to come here for consul- WASHINGTON Sept. 29 —( — | tations.

Diplomatic officials reported to- day Indian Prime Minister Jawah- | arlal Nehru has expressed the view to leaders of the big western powers that the UN is committed only to the defense of South Korea and not. to the subjugation of North Korea. Nehru's action is considered here as bringing into the open a split be- tween the United States and some of the British commonwealth coun- tries over the question whether North Korea should not be entered. NINE WESTWARD ALASKANS, FIRST DRAFTEE GROUP Alaska first group of draftees to be inducted into the Armed Services under the current draft law, has been officially sworn in at Fort Richardson. All nine inductees were assigned to the Army. . Those zalled are Fovert Hughes, 24; Wayne Carlson, 23, and Arthu R. Cunderson, 23, all of Anchorage;] Clinton Taylor, 24, and Clyde Bil- lot, 22, both of Palmer; James C. Tliff, 24, Cordova; Oscar Munson, 23, Homer; and Frank M. Smith, 23, Wasilla. On hand to welcome the new men into military service and offer a few words of advice was Brig. Gen. Julian W. Cunningham, Command- ing General of U.S. Army, Alaska. General Cunningham said that military life is what the individual, himself, makes it and that it can be a very fine and useful life. General, US. Army, ministered the oaths. . The nine inductees, presently be- ing “processed” by Headquarters, USARAL, will be assigned perma- nent duty with the Army in Alaska. During their initial five days at Fort Richardson, they will receive new uniforms, take written aptitude tests, view a number of military in- doctrination movies, and complete official requirements. Then the men will be assigned to ne of the battalions of the 4th In- fantry Regimental Combat Team for six weeks of basic training. All nine men are permanent resi- dents of Alaska, having lived in the Territory an average of nine years each. Two of the group—Oscar Mun- son and Frank Smith—were born in Alaska.

Lovett was picked by President Truman to be Deputy Secretary of Defense. He succeeds Stephen T. Early, who s leaving the Defense post Saturday to return to private business. Lovett is a close friend of Secre- tary of Defense Marshall, under fwhom he served as Undersecretary of State. He is now in the invest- ment banking business in New York with Brown Brothers, Harriman and Co. Mr. Truman telephoned Lovett at his home -at Lucust Valley, N.Y., at 7:30 a.m,, offered him the appoint- ment and _got 8 prompt acceptance. It had been expected from the time Mr. Truman named Gen. Marshall as Defense Secretary, after the resignation of Louis A. John- son, that Marshall would call upon Lovett to serve under him. Since Congress is not in session, Lovett will be given a recess ap- pointment. The appointment later will be subject to Senate confirma- tion. NO POLIO HERE; | OFFICIALS GUARD AGAINST EPIDEMIC Is the present outbreak of polio- myelitis (infantile paralysis) in Alaska an epidemic? Or do case re- ports réflect the normal increase that goes with this season, before cold weather with “cleaning” rain and snow? | This problem confronts Territorial &flflm ‘Department officlals, It is a a problem because of complicated factors, according to Dr. James T. Googe, director of local health serv- ices, on loan from the U.S. Public Health Service. “Always there are some missed cases because symptoms are so like those of a cold,” Dr. Googe said to- day. “Always there are more cases than can be known at one time, for re- ports and analyses are delayed in reaching the central office. Always there are a few carriers, not identifiable. “Besides, more cases are being re- ported, as doctors and patients be- come alert to the possibility of polio.” In total numbers, new and recent cases in three Alaska communities are not many—eight cases in Fair- banks, at least one new one in Anchorage, where officials believe there are several cases, and one ac- tive case in Ketchikan. Three deaths attributable to polio occurred within six weeks, two in Fairbanks, one in Ketchikan. Jeff- rey Bennington, 2-year-old son of an officer at Ladd Field, died Au- gust 11. David Tikluk, 28-year-old Eskimo, died August 15 in Fairbanks ang Gordon Hanna, 32, September 20 in Ketchikan. The previous record showed no deaths in 1945 pr 1946; one in 1947, none in 1948 and one in 1949. “We do not want to alarm the public,” Dr. Googe said, on learn- ing that Fairbanks schools had been closed after Dr. Robert P. Gorman, City Health Officer, reported eight cases in the area. . “Panic actually helps spread the disease,” he said. “Rest, sleep, and keeping away from crowds are ex- cellent preventive measures. Sen- sible sanitary precautions also are important.” No cases have been reported in Juneau or this area. A portable “iron lung” is avail- able at St. Ann’s hospital, to which it was donated by the Juneau Rotary Club. The respirator is in|e new condition, as there has neverle been a need for it. While there is no chapter in Alaska of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the Alaska Crippled Children’s Association has a committee to aid prevention and treatment of the disease. Besides the fund at the Anchor- age headquarters of the Association, the $18,000 collected from Armed'e Services in the Territory is set aside | e in a special Alaska account. . Resources of the national organi-j e ization are available. A request al-) iready has been made to the national office for additional respirators, in case they should be needed. . . ] . . i VOTE at the City Election Tues- ® day for Dewey Baker for Director|e ‘I»'lchnl Board.—Adv. |o ' ) cated today he may ask a House committee to take up the cudgels in his dispute with Secretary of the Interior Chapman. The Senate Interior committee held public hearings on his charges that Chapman has a “personal alli- ance” with the Russian cause, called them a dud, and declined to pay further attention to them. Schoeppel told a reporter the House un-American Activities In- vestigating committee “might be interested” in starting an investi- gation of his charges after Congress reconvenes Nov. 27. The Senator said he will be back in Kansas “in three or four days” and will have more to say abdut the case there. He declined, however to say whether that meant he intends to accept Chapman's dare to repea',' the charges without Congressional immunity from libel action. b Schoeppel made the accusations first in a speech on the Senate floor on Sept. 5. Yesterday he published in the Congressional Record an assertion that Chapman's denials have not disproved his original ac- cusations. He asked for a deeper investigation. Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), the Interior Committee Chairman, told reporters acidly the group plans no further inquiry. “The thing fell flat as a pancake and is still flat,” O’Mahoney said. General Eisenhower May Gef Supreme Europe (onilgl:nd Job WASHINGTON; Sept, 29— (B — Speculation increased today that President Truman - may appoint Gen: Dwight D. Eisenhower to com- mand the projected international army to defend Westernt Europe. - This talk is based in part on what Mr. Truman said about Eisen- hower at his news conference yes- terday and in patt on the fact that Washington officials believe a man of outstanding reputation and prov- ed ability should get the supreme command post. The mere naming of such a man, high officials say, would help to create in non-Commuhnist Europe a new sense of confidence and pro- gress toward real security. Mr. Truman was asked at the news conference whether he was considering General Eisenhower for some new job, probably in Europe. He replied that Eisenhower is al- ways available at the President's call but that he has not considered him because there is no appoint- ment to make yet.

The report circulating in New York yesterday that the Korean Communists had offered, through Indian UN representatives, to stop fighting and accept a UN settle- ment was discounted by authorit- ative sources. High Foreign Ministry officials in New Delhi said today “no such proposals have reached us,” and they had no information to support the rumors, A British Foreign Office spokes- man in London also denied dny knowledge of such reported peace feelers, either in the United Na- tions or through an intermediary power, Sir Benegal N. Rau, India’s chief delegate to the UN, yesterday de- nied his delegation had been chosen as the “go-between” in any north Korean peace negotiations. American officials both at the UN and at the State Department in Washington said they knew nothing about the rumors. UN Se- cretary General Trygve Lie also dis- claimed knowledge of the report. Russia’s Delegate Jacob A. Malik, when shown the dispatches sent by 0 Dews. agencl ~ 118yt R e sources in the UN, merely shrug- ged his shoulders and said he knew nothing about the report. Curt Simmons Will Not Take Furlough To Pitch in Leries CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind., Sept. 29—M—Pfc Curt Simmons has ruled himself out of any more pitching this season with the Philadelphia Phillies, on the top roost of the Na- tional League. “By his own statement, he feels himself not in shape to pitch,” said Maj. Gen. Daniel B. Stickler, com- mander of Pennsylvania’s 28th In- fantry Division. General 'Stickler said Simmons had recently requested a furlough to give him a chance to pitch in the World Series, which starts next ‘Wednesday. “But he wrote us Sept. 27, he's willing to withdraw his request, though efforts were made for a fur- lough for him,” Stickler said.

(By the Associated Press) South Korean troops chased the Communist invaders of their United | Nations-sponsored republic all the way to the dividing 38th parallel to- day. Shells fell on ridges along the boundary where the Reds were in headlong flight. A US. Eighth Army spokesman sald South Korean spearheads that had approached the parallel were ordered to halt there for regrouping. He did not comment on what their orders might be after they com- plete regrouping. Two South Korean forces were very close to, if not ac- tfally on the line which divides South and North Korea. The for- wardmost force was on the eastern coast and firing artillery shells into Communist positions = astride the border. U. N. Optimistic A surge of optimism swelled throughout the non-Communist world with this news: the first armed intervention of the United Nations had completely crushed an aggressor and the future of the world organization seemed brighter to many. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who commanded the United Nations forces, personally restored liberated but tortured Seoul to Korean Presi- dent Syngman Rhee in a brief cere- mony which ended with the U.N. commander leading a mass recita- tion of the Lord’s Prayer. _Hundreds of civilians lined the streets as MacArthur and his staff arrived for the ceremony. Many seemed too stunned by the awful battle, which had scarred and blackened the city, to realize fully what had happened." Big Question With South Korean forces reach- ing the 38th parallel, the big ques- ciated Press Correspondent Leif Erickson flew over the area in a U.S. Fifth Air Force plane. He re- ported that the ridge where Red Koreans might make a stand along the parallel was about two miles in- land from the Sea of Japan coast. Fires burned in a village 12 miles north of parallel 38. Military and political observers in Tokyo had said Allied forces might be ordered into North Korea and push on to the borders of Red China, within only about 100 miles of the Soviet port of Viadivostok. The 38th parallel itself is not a legal boun- dary, but was simply the dividing line between occupation zones of US. and Soviet forces after the Japanese defeat. But the Russians created a Communist regime in the North. Wants to Erase Line In a speech during the Seoul cere- monies, Bernardo Africa of the Phil- ippines, present head of the U.N. Commission on Korea, sald “this artificial separation can no longer be countenanced.” He called for a fully united Korea under a Demo- cratic government. United Nations delegates in New York shifted into high gear to keep up with the swift victories, with op- timism growing that U.N. decisions on the future of Korea would make the country a showplace of what the world organization could accomplish. A British resolution, it is known, calls for a free, independent, united Korea with a Democratic govern- ment elected under U.N. supervision. It would be guaranteed by UN, military strength. The New York Times says Britain, Canada, Australia, Norway and the Philippines agreed on the text of the resolution, and that it gives no specific authorization to the U.N. troops to cross the 38th parallel. | However, it is said to give tacit con- sent, More U.S. Defense Plans President Truman is reported to have told his administration there | must not be any letup in American | defense preparations even though | the Korean war is coming to a vic- | torious end.
