LXXV., NO. 11,627 JUNEAU, ALASKA, MO NDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1950 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ey Alaska Voters Will Go To Polls Tomorrow LONGSHOREMEN'S PAY BOOST UPS STEAMSHIP COSTS SEATTLE, Oct. 9—#—The re- cent 549 percent wage increase, granted the International Long- shoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union at the conclusion of negoti- | ations between operators and union | officials in San Francisce, will add approximately $200,000 to the an- | nual operating costs of the Alaska Steamship Company, D. E. Skinner, | vice president and general man-| ager, said here today. i “Our stevedoring expense last year at the former rate of $1.82 per hour totalled $3,715,465. The 5.49 percent increase would raise this cost $203,979, making a total of | $3,919,444,” he said. ‘The negotiations now in progress with other maritime unions are ex- | pected to further affect the cost of steamship operations, it was pointed out, GEOLOGIST LEAVES | FOR EXLUTNA PROJECT - Clark E. McHuron, chief geologist for the Bureau of Reclamation’s Eklutna power project, left here for Palmer today to prepare for the examination of core drillings from | the site of the proposed tunnel. The 4%-mile-long bore, among the longest ever censtructed by the Reclamation group, will carry the waters of Eklutna Lake into turbines to be set up on the shores of Knik Arm, midway between Anchorage and Palmer. ‘The plant will generate 30,000 kilo- watts. Drillers are arriving on the scene now, according to Joseph P. Morgan, Reclamation head. Me- Huron, by studying rock types brought up by the drills, will pre- dict the types of material to be | met during construction of the nine- | foot bore. From this information tunnel de- sign may be worked out, and bid- ding contractors will know what problems they face. Core drills will be inserted at both ends of the proposed bore for ap- proximately a quarter-mile. Types of foundations and methods of in- serting a concrete liner may also be learned from this work, McHuren said. Army Is Buying , (Canned Salmon SEATTLE, Oct. 9—(#—The Oak- land, Calif., Quartermaster Procur- ment Office has announced the purchase of 23,871 cases of canned salmon from Washington, packers and brokers, for $672,138, the De- partment of Commerce reported today. The California Packing Company of San Francisco sold the same agency an additional 37,600 dozen cans for $267,837. The W a;l;ington Merry - Go-Roun (Copyright, 1950, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON — Congressman Walter Brehm of Ohio recently calle me a liar for exposing his “kickback” manipulations with his office payroll. I suppose it might be appropriate to remind Congressman Brehm that some of his ex-colleagues re- ferred to me in the same language, notably ex-Congressman J. Parnell Thomas of New Jersey and ex-Con- gressman Andrew May of Kentucky, though they later went to jail. However, I prefer to answer Congressman Brehm by giving some | additional facts in the case and letting the public decide who is really guilty of telling lies. The total kickbacks Brehm re- ceived from Mrs. Clara Soliday, a 75-year-old widow formerly em- ployed in his office for three years, amounted to approximately $7,300. Here is a month-to-month ac- count of how this money was paid to Brehm from the time she went on his payroll Jan. 10, 1945, until she was summayily discharged Jan. 31, 1948, after having broken her arm, Mrs. Soliday was paid $232.22 for the first part-month she was em- ployed. Of this, she had to kick back $1000 to her boss. In the next five months, from February 1 to ALASKA ORGANIZED FOR POLIO CARE; NO MORE CASES No new cases of poliomyelitis were reported to the Alaska Health De- partment over the weekend. Thirty- one cases, including five deaths, have been reported since the out- break two months ago. Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Health Commissioner, returned yes- terday from the interior and An- chorage. While in Fairbanks for a meeting of the University of Alaska | Board of Regents last week, he di- rected the fight against polio, co- ordinating Territorial activities with assistance from the National Foun- dation for Infantile Paralysis. He was in daily telephone and tele- graph contact with the New York office of the Foundation. Dr. Albrecht appointed Dr. Wen- dell C. Matthews of the Health De- partment at Anchorage as assistant epidemic coordinator for all In- terior points west of 141 degrees | west longitude. ‘While Dr. Albrecht directs South- east Alaska activities, all reporting of conditions—new cases, requests or aid in personnel, equipment and funds—will be made through Dr. Matthews’ office in the other area. “It is too early to predict the fu- ture of infantile paralysis in the Territory,” Dr. Albrecht said today. there are more cases, detailed plans have been made to meet any situ- ation. “Nurses in Fairbanks and An- struction from Miss Louise Suc- homel, orthopedic nursing consult- ant of the Joint Orthopedic Nursing Advisory Service. Trained super- visors will be available for similar instruction of nurses in outlying areas, should the need arise. “The 10th Air Rescue Squadron is alerted for evacuation of patients to medical care centers. A 10th Res- cue team has been trained to op- erate a portable respirator. Local Red Cross chapters have been desig- nated by the National Foundation to recruit nurses for hospital care. These polio nurses will be paid from March of Dimes funds. “The splendid cooperation and co- ordination by everyone,” Dr. Al- brecht said, “is most encouraging, and assures the best care known to medical science. This is emphasized by a telegram from Basil O’Connor, National Foundation president.” @'Connor’s telegram reads, in part: “All the resources at our com- mand are available to the people of Alaska in their present battle against infantile paralysis. Our help is ready for members of the Armed Forces and their families, as well as for resident civilians. We have $14,000 in March of Dimes funds in Alaska . . . If more should be re- quired, more will be available, even though we are confronted here by the second worst polio year in his- tory. “It is all one fight and we are all in it together.” LIONS SEE GOVERNORS CONFERENCE SLIDES Betty McCormick gave a brief plea for the support of the Juneau-" Douglas Concert Association at a regular luncheon meeting of the Juneau Lions club at the Baranof Hotel this noon. She said that there were only 196 paid up season tickets 1and 36 student tickets for the com- ing series of concerts, the first of | which will be held October 19.

HIGH COURT TURNS DOWN TAYLOR CASE WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 — @ — The Supreme Court refused today {to review the conviction of Sena- tor Glen Taylor (D-Idaho), sen- tenced in Alabama to a $50 fine and 180 days in jail on charges of dis- orderly conduct. In Birmingham, Police Commis- sioner Eugene Connor announced “we are going to send and get him, wherever he is, at once.” Taylor was in Pocatello, Idaho, where he said he is going to stay. “I'm not going down there and turn myself over to that chain gang,” he said. He said he plans to stay in Pocatello until Congress re- convenes November 27. Taylor ran afoul of Birmingham police May 1, 1948, while cam-| paigning for vice president on the Henry Wallace Progressive party ticket. The disorderly conduct charge stemmed from a tussle he had with police when he tried to enter a Negro youth meeting through a door marked “Negro En- trance.” Denial of Taylor’s appeal for a review was one of 333 orders handed down by the Supreme Court today, either granting or refusing reviews. Many of today's orders dealt with civil rights legislation. In other cases, the court: Refused to reconsider a June 5 decision requiring Texas to admit a Negro student, Herman Marion Sweatt, to the all-white law school of the University of Texas. Denied the University of Mary- land a review of a Maryland Court of Appeals decision that the state is obliged to admit a Negro girl, Esther McCready, to its school of nursing.

Vishinsky said today Russia favors some points of the sweeping United States program to give the UN. General Assembly emergency powers to combat aggression. Vishinsky’s surprising statement in the Assembly’s Political Commit- tee came after John Foster Dulles, Republican advisor to Secretary of State Acheson, outlined the Ameri- can program, which calls for standby military forces to back up United Nations decisions. The Soviet Foreign Minister did not specify which points of the American proposal he favored. His statement puzzled other delegates. British Minister of State Kenneth ‘Youngerssaid: “If it is a fact that the Soviet Union accepted the general outlines, we are glad to hear it. It may shorten debate.” The American proposal also is sponsored by Britain, France, Canada, The Philippines, Turkey | | | { | i i | | | | | i | BROWNE FAMILY BACK FROM TWO-MONTH TRIP Home only ten days, Ralph Browne, assistant manager of the Alaska Development Board, has spent nearly a week getting over 8 |after he was inducted into "¢/ Robert Pheasant as stenographer in post-vacation cold.

HUNTING, TRAFFIC TAKE HEAVY TOLL IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST (By the Associated Press) Rain-slicked state highways and the opening of the hunting seasoq\ took a toll of seven lives in Washs ington state over the weekend. \ Two hunters died of heart at= tacks Sunday when the season wag only hours old. One of them was State Director of Fisheries Alvin Anderson, 46. He died while phea- sant hunting in Whitman county 25 miles south of Colfax. A Cowlitz county hunter, Thomas E. Bate, 62, of Castle Rock was stricken while riding horseback to a mountain | hunting camp. ‘Three of the traffic fatalities were in King County.

Foster, 36, was shot Oct. 2 in north- ern Klamath county; and William Weaver died of a heart attack Oct. 1 near Oakridge. ACHESON SAYS WAR NOT NOW INEVITABLE| (By Associated Press) Secretary of State Acheson, hold- ing that war is not inevitable, said last night “if we keep always before us that our purpose in building military power is to enable us to settle our differences by peaceful means, then we shall avold the territle error of talking and acting: as though the end of our effort s war.” But the Secretary added that with the Soviet Union seeking world domination the west must build its; power, Only on the basis of equal | power can the Soviets be persuaded | to modify their will to conquest,| Acheson said at Freedom House in | New York City where he accepted | the organization’s award for “lead- | ing the Democratic nations againsti tyranny.” (asualties, Korea War, ir_om Alaska i ATOM BOMB FOR RUSSIA, URGES A. L. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9—(®—The 32nd annual national convention of the American Legion was asked by its executive committee today to recommend use of the atom bomb agajnst Russia in the event of fur- ther aggression anywhere. “This is the crucial moment in our lives,” the committee said in asking for aid “to any and all forces of freedom that will join with us and the United Nations in the de- struction of evil forces.” The committee also called for the occupation of all Korea by the U.N. under the command of General MacArthur; non-recognition by the | United States of Red China; con- |tinued defense of Formosa; aid to the Philippine government against Communist aggressors; support of “Chinese who will vigorously and effectively fight outside aggressors in order to obtain and preserve a free and independent China,” and & treaty of peace with Japan by ap- propriate world powers under guid- ance and direction of Gen. Mac- Arthur. The executive committee said also | that the American people, “no longer have confidence in our State De- partment or in the present secre- tary, Mr. Dean Acheson, and we believe it is the duty of the Presi- dent to appoint immediately a Sec- retary of State who will instill con- fidence.” MINFIELD BOY BURNED BY HIGH POWER LINE Paul Stevens, one of the children at the Minfield Home, suffered hand burns and shock Saturday evening about 6:30 o'clock when a radio aerial he was putting up came in contact with an REA power line. Kenneth Kearney, who was driving to town after visiting his parents at Lena Point, was stopped and took the lad to St. Ann’s hospital in his car. Another boy was giving Stevens artificial respiration at the time! Kearney was stopped.

Waugh WITH US. CAVALRY NORTH OF PARALLEL 38, Korea, Oct 9—(® | —Troopers of this famous Ameri- can division plunged in Red Korea today and within 30 minutes ran smack into stiff enemy resistance. They are the first non-Korean Allied force across parallel 38. Elements of the First Cavalry ad- vanced about a mile over the Red line on a road leading northwest out of Seoul toward the Red cap- ital, Pyongyang. 2 Then they were forced to dig in under mortar, small arms and automatic fire from commanding positions in mountains on three sides of the road. This spearhead lost one tank to a land mine. The small arms fire and a mortar caused some casu- alties. Lt. Col. William Walton of New- ton, Kas., said the Reds were well entrenched. However, the force holding up the advance was not believed to be large. Six North Korean soldiers sur- rendered, but an intelligence of- ficer sad they were from troops conscripted by the Reds in the past few days. “The officers up there won't let them surrender or retreat. Troops who want to quit are shot,” the officer reported the prisoners said. The cavalry crossed 38 just west of Kaesong. FAIRBANKS PAPER IS NOT YET SOLD SAYS EXECUTOR FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 9—E. Medley, managing executor of the Lathrop estate. denies a statement broadcast over the radio that an interest in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner has been sold and that its editor, William Strand, is “on his way out.” The statement was made during a Democratic political broadcast over Station KFAR and was des- cribed as “the best news in Fair- banks in a long time.” Medley said that under terms of the will of the late Austin E. Lath- i | rop sale of the newspaper to any- one other than Strand is impos- | sible. “The News-Miner will not be sold. It is a matter of public record that Captain Lathrop gave Mr. Strand a six months option to buy the News-Miner and a year more in which to complete the transaction. He did so in recognition of Mr. Strand’s abilities and in apprecia- tion for his outstanding services to the newspaper, the community and to Alaska.” The broadcast statement said the paper had been sold to C. W. £ned- den, manager of the business and mechanical department. Medley said Sneddon was hired to leave Strand free to pursue his increasing duties as managing ed- itor and vice president of the Tan- ana Publishing Company. He said Captain Lathrop had complete faith that under Strand's direction policies of the News- Min- er would be continued after his death as they were in his lifetime. “This was his wish and the exe- {cutors of his estate intend to see that it is carried out.” WEATHER REPORT Temperatures for 34-Plour Period ending 6:20 o'clock thys morning In Juneau—Maximum, 50; minimum, 43.

MacArthur sent a final surrender ultimatum to the Communist gov- ernment of North Korea in the name of the United Nations. Four South Korean divisions al- ready were across the parallel. One of them, the South Korean Third, hammered at the Red defense ring around Wonsan and some troops even were reported entering the port up the east coast. Capture of Won- san would imperil the Communist capital of Pyongyang from the east while other United Nations forces pushed up from the south. Front reports said the main force of South Koreans, only a mile southeast of Wonsan, stopped when it ran into heavy Red opposition, including artillery fire, Ready for Action A dozen United Nations fighting divisions were ready to carry out the United Nations directive to take whatever steps are necessary to unify Korea. Most of these troops were ranged along the 38th parallel ready to strike at the Red heartland behind the bulk of five divisions— 50,000 troops—already across the di- viding line. 4 U.S. First Cavalry units drove through log pillboxes in the Red defense line along the parallel north of captured Kaesong. It was the first American push across the parallel. Allied planes, strafed and rocketed Red troops concentrations north of Kaesong. B-29's hit North Korean road and rail arteries. Like the UN. commander’s first surrender demand of Oct. 1, the “last time” ultimatum went un- heeded by the Reds. MacArthur promised force—the power of some 175,000 men representing 53 na- tions—to back up his ultimatum, which he based on the United Na- tions Assembly vote Saturday to unite and rehabilitate Korea. He invited the North Koreans to co- ’opernf.e in setting up a unified gov- ernment and promised them just treatment if they would lay down their arms and avoid further blood- shed. Reds Reassemble MacArthur’s headquarters said the Reds appeared to have reassem- bled a division along the western half of the border area between Hwachon and Kaesong. A spokes- | man said it was the Red 18th Di- vision, which either has been rein- forced or withdrew intact from the battle of Seoul. However, air observation cated the Reds were conserving of Pyongyang, 60 air miles north of the parallel near the west coast. In South Korea there still were sporadic clashes with hopelessly trapped Reds in the area around Taejon, but the bag of Allied prison- ers was swelling rapidly. Mac- Arthur’s Sunday summary said it totalled 55,000. Pyongyang admitted for the first time that U.N. forces were across the parallel. A communique broad- cast from the Red capital said the North Korean inflicted “heavy dam- | ages on the enemy trying to ad-| vance by crossing the 38th parallel.” | INSURANCE BY FHA ! Clinton C.

The chief interest in tomorrow's Territory-wide vote centers in whether the Republicans or Demo- crats can win control of the Legis- lature, or, more basically, whether the House and Senate majorities will be friendly or opposed to Governor Gruening and his administration. The co.ntests for two Territory~ wide offices have failed to generate much political heat. In a race for Delegate to Con- gress E. L. (Bob) Bartlett, the Democratic incumbent, is favored heavily over Almer J. Peterson, An- chorage Republican. With Trea- surer Henry Roden unopposed, the only other Territory wide contest is for Commissioner of Labor. Henry Benson, the Republican incumbent, is opposed by Ross Kimball, Fair- banks. With the so-called “White” and “Black” Republican factions united for the first time in many years, Albert White of Juneau, the party's leader, has hit the campaign trail aggressively to lead the G.O.P. drive.
