The Was\hington (Copyright, 1950, By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON — The taxpayers don’t know it, but they are paying for the honeymoon of a Congress- man’s daughter. She is Mrs. Jules De Porre, daughter of Democrat Congressman Louis Rabaut of Gros- se Pointe Park, Mich. Carolyn was the last in a line of daughters who worked as Con- gressman Rabaut's secretary. But she quit to get married shortly af- ter Easter, and became Mrs. Jules De Porre on July 8. Despite this, she has continued to draw $643.33 a month. While the Congressman’s daugh- ter draws her salary, her job is taken by Marion. B. Lacey, who is paid $331.71 per month by the House = Appropriations Committee. Very conveniently, the committee “loaned” her to Rabaut to handle “committee business.” She is not on, his regular pay roll. When queried by this column, Rabaut explained that his daughter never quit working for him, but just shifted to his Detroit office. Actual- ly, this explanation doesn’t hold up. For the Congressman didn’t open an office in Detroit until Congress recessed she last week of September. Furthermore, when the Congressman takes a trip to Detroit, his office help in Wash- ington complain that he scribbles Jetters in longhand and sends them back to Washington te be typed, thus making a mystery as to what his newly married daughter is sup-| ] l (Continued on Page Four) only 25 votes apart in the contest PETERSBURG, Alaska, Oct, 18— —IP—With management balking at pay increases nearly double what they're now paying and twice the wages being paid in Seattle, a full- scale shrimp and crab strike is set for next Monday. Members of Local 85 of the Sheli Fish Workers Union, affiliated with Harry Bridges’ International Long- shoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union, recently expelled from the CIO for asserted Leftist tendencies, already have gone on strike. But yesterday they said they would process about 2,000 pounds of crab which one operator already kas picked, and will take care of crabs already Tished before the strike was called. Picket line will ke set up Monday. Proposals Rejected Operators of Kaylor and Dahl and Ohmer’s plants met with union members last Thursday to hear proposals, On Friday they rejected them. The union advised it would start picketing Monday of this week. ‘The operators went out by plane to notify the crab and shrimp boats of the pending shutdown. All but two crab Boats were contacted. The industry has a $2,000 per day payroll here, Petersburg packers, who compete in the Seattle market, said the add- ed cost of the workers’ demands would price Alaska shellfish com- pletely out of the market. Union Demands Here are union demands: Crab butchers—now getting $1.4¢ an hours, asking $4.50 an hour, plus ime and a hali from 6 to 10 p.m. and. between 10.pm. and 8 am double time, Butchers normally gc to work at 7 a.m. Packers and general workers— aow getting $1.40 an hour, demand $2.50, also with time and a hali ind double time provisions, Piece workers—now getting 24 cents a pound to pick shrimp; ask- ing 35 cents a pound, or 70 cents a2 pound if shrimp are held over o following day. A good picker can pick 80 pounds daily. Crab shakers—now getting 1 cents a pound; asking 20 cents. Oc- casionlly women have made $30 a day at the present rate, with the average present daily wage $20-2( 1 day. Operators are paying 1( cents a pound for crabs. Besides the wage increases, the workers also submitted a long list of other demands. These included Coffee time every two hours, witk the employer paying (A) for the coffee; (B) for the pastry; (C) the hourly rate to piece workers during “coffee time.” TOASTMASTERS MEET AT BARANOF TONIGHT W.

In the race for the Division’s four House seats, three Democrats and one Republican are leading. If the present standings continue, here and in other Divisions, it will result in a margin of 14 to 10 for the Democrats in the House and an even eight-to-eight break between the parties in the Senate, where the Democrats have a margin of six-to-two in holdover Senators. Ipalook, a full-blooded Eskimo missionary from Wales, has 1738 votes on the 28-precinct tally; Charles O'Leary, Democrat, 715, and Rep. William Beltz, Democrat, 690. Sen. Charles Jones, the veteran Republican legislator, is out of the running, Ipalook and Beltz are expected to continue to gain on late returns from the outlying Eskimo precincts. The leaders for the four House seats are: W. W. Laws (R) 1754; George Madsen (D) 728; James Wells (D) 719; Frank Degman (D) 591, ABSENTEE BALLOTS Absentee ballots may have g strong bearing on the winners of closely contested seats in the First and Fourth Divisions, In the Fourth; Republican Alden Wilbur is leading Democrat Tom Jones by only 60 votes for the Fifth House seat. There are only an es- timated 100 or less votes still to be reported from outlying precincts The final decision is expected to cest in 130 absentee ballots, to be -ounted next Tuesday.

REPUBLICANS DOMINATE RACE IN 4TH DIVISION FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 18— (A—With more than 90 percent of the Fourth Division’s total vote re- ported, Republicans continued to dominate the legislative race, while Democrat E. L. Bartlett had a 2% to 1 margin for reelection as Dele- zate to Congress. The legislative standings on the basis of 54 out of 70 precincts were: Senate (2 to be elected)—Lhamon (R) 1895; Coble (R) 1774; Lander (D) 1521; Taylor (D) 1402. House (5 to be elected)—Stepovich (R) 2206; Miscovich (R) 19851; Franklin (D) 1835; Gasser (R) 1733; Wilbur (R) 1681; Jones (D) 1681; Joy (R) 1574; Dale (D) 1549; Anger- man (D) 1362; McCombe (D) 1362.

Daniel Gil- bert, chief investigator for thc State's Attorney’s office and Demo- cratic candidate for sheriff, was questioned how he managed tc amass his admitted $365,000 for- tune.

Fall of Communist Capital in North Korea Seems Imminent (By the Associated Press) The Republic of Korea’s First Di- vision troops were reported by South Korean sources today to have en- tered Pyongyang. With Americans and South Koreans hammering at its gates, the fall of the Communist capital seemed imminent. ‘The Pusan radio was quoted as saying the South Koreans, racing U.S. First Cavalry units for the honor of entering the Communist stronghold first, took the Pyongyang airfield and then crossed the ‘Taegong river to the capital. Prize Is Taken The South Korean claim that their troops entered Pyongyang, major Allied prize in the nearly four-month-old war, came from the Korean information press quoting a Pusan broadcast. There was no offi- cial confirmation. First Allied entry had been expected Thursday (Ko- rean time). The ROK (Republic of Korea) troops were reported ‘“squirming with impatience” to overthrow the seat of Red Premier Kim Il Sung's government whose forces had once swarmed over nearly all South Ko- rea. Pyongyang is the first capital of a Soviet satellite to come under direct. attack and the Communists had beeh ‘expected to throw every- thing into their lastdesperate stand. Reds Use: Artillery Allied air reconnaissance said no fixed installation had been observed. e were ldying down heavy artillery firé from entrenched posi- tions. ¥ The Allied juggernaut had rolled up from the 38th parallel swiftly and easlly against only light opposi- tion. Communists surrendered in great numbers. MacArthur's head- quarters said 5000 Red Koreans were captured in the last 24 hours bringing the total bag to 70,000 prisoners. Industrial Cities Captured On the west coast the U.S. 24th Division, first in Korea, was slicing into Chinnampo, port, of Pyongyang. It had sped 78 miles in 24 hours and vied with the First Cavalry in the contest to get into the Red capital first. £ On the east coast, ROK troops captured the industrial cities of Hamhung and Hungnam, 110 miles south of the Manchurian border. The South Koreans on the ap- proaches to Pyongyang, exultant at the turning tide of battle, tore down Red Korean flags and trampled on posters of Joseph Stalin. ~ STEAMER MOVEMENTS Princess Louise scheduled to sail from Vancouver at 8 tonight.

L. (Bob) Bartlett re- turned yesterday from Anchorage and Fairbanks, planning to be here the remainder of the week, then go to Ketchikan. The Democratic Delegate to Con- gress made these comments on the October 10 General Election: “When all returns are in, it seems assured the Democratic party will have a comfortable working majority in the House. Senate control will be evenly divided, with each party having eight members, or the Demo- crats will have 9 of the 16 members. The outcome depends upon late re- turns from the Second Division: Only then will it be known whether two Democrats or one Democrat and cne Republican have been elected. “This is. an exceptionally hard election to analyze. Incumbent Ter- ritorial officers were returned by large majorities — a unanimous vote for Henry Roden, the unopposed Democratic candidate for Treasurer, a ‘large majority for Henry Benson,|ing the Iron C Republican candidate for Commis- sioner of Labor seeking reelection, and a similar vote for me as Demo- cratic candidate for Delegate to Congress. But in the Third Division we find all Democratic candidates for the House elected and both Re- publican candidates for the Senate selected over their Democratic op- ponents. No one has explained to my satisfaction how that happened. “In last Tuesday's election the Democratic party suffered reverses. It would be nonsensical to claim otherwise. As a Democrat who is convinced this administration de- serves the support of the great masses of Alaskans, including the business groups, I believe the chief reason for the ‘change from 1948 was brought about by the failure of the Democratic party to place its record of accomplishment com- pletely before the people. Had that been done, there could have been only one result. There were other reasons. Democrats were accused— and in my opinion unjustly and im- properly—of various crimes and mis- demeanors. This campaign had its sffect. There were local causes which contributed in local instances to the result. Internecine warfare was not absent — atlhough the Republican party was not entirely “unified” either. “In every field this administration 1as worked constantly and diligently lor the welfare of Alaska. The list »f accomplishments has been long— and important. Had the Democratic party been more alert to stress this, cather than assuming everyone understood it, my opinion is that the Republican trend noted after last Tuesday’s election would not have occurred.” LIGHTLESS BIKES WILL BE IMPOUNDED: POLICE Beginning tonight bicycles found operating on the Juneau city streets without lights will be impounded, Police Chief Bernard E. Hulk, an- nounced today. “Bikes without lights after dark /| are not only dangerous to the riders, but they are a hazard to other traf- fic,” Hulk said, “The police have been issuing warnings to violators of this city ordinance, but there are too many so it will be necessary to take some action.” Parents are advised to check their own children’s bicycles for lights as 4 'safety measure. The Juneau City Code provides “That it shall be unjawful for any bicycle, during the period beginning one half hour after sunset and end- ing one half hour .before sunrise, unless same is equipped with at least one lighted headlight in front, and a yellow or red light or reflector in the rear thereof, all in good working condition” when on the city streets, And the President left for the Russian Politburo a bold and blunt| reminder that the United States| will not stop short of war to resist| aggression and preserve a free way) of life.” Mr. Truman flew back to Wash= ington shortly after delivering his| major foreign policy speech last| night in the War Memorial Opera House where the United Nations charter was born five years ago. He left San Francisco’s Internas tional Airport at 1:15 a.m. EST.,] on the last, eight-hour left of a 14,400-mile round trip flight during which he talked with General Douglas MacArthur on Wake Ise land about what, he said, were the “dangers which still face us.” Partnership With World “What we want is a partnership for peace with all the world,” Mr. Truman told a cheering audience.| He said “We want peace but it must| be a peace founded upon justice. That American policy i as old as| our republic and it is stronger today| than éver before jm our history. And| with God’s help we intend to keep it that way.” The crowd applauded vigorously| as the President declared “We are increasing our armed strength be- cause Soviet policies leave us no other choice.” Now Up To Russia [} If the Soviets “really want peace,” Mr. Truman continued, they can praye it “by living up to the United Natloris charter;” “by joining she| rest of the United Nations in calling upon the North Koreans to lay| down their arms at once;” “by Hft- B ] the free exchange of information and ideas,” and, finally, by joining with the UN to establish a system of collective security “which will permit the elimination of the atomic |bomb and the drastic reduction and iregulation of all other arms and |armed forces.” * Common Defense Mr, Truman declared that until the Soviet Union does these things | “we are determined to build up the| common defensive strength of the| free world.” What the United States did for| Korea, he sald in effect, it stands| ready to do, in conjunction with the| United Nations, for any peaceful country that finds its borders vio= lated and its freedom attacked. “We hate war,” the President de= clared, “but we love our liberties. We will not see them destroyed.” LANDS IN MARYLAND WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 — @ Delayed by a heavy fog, President yTruman landed at Andrews Airfield ‘at 10:04 a.m, EST, today to end al week’s flying trip to the Pacific. Mr, Truman's plane, the Inde- pendence, was shifted at the lasf moment from fog-bound Nationall Airport to the Air Force base 12| miles away in Maryland. Among those who had gathere at the airport to welcome Mr. Tru= man back were Mrs. Truman, Secre= tary of State Acheson, and Secre-| tary of Defense Marshall. TRUMAN'S SPEECH GETS RED SILENCE LONDON,” Oct. 18—(M—President, Truman’s San Francisco speech) calling on Russia to display a willl for peace was greeted warmly in| parts of Western Europe and with) silence in the Soviet-dominated East. Newspapers in the zone of Rus- |sian influence published nothing at B all about the address. Their silence lwss matched up this noon by the Eastern radio-stations. But the| jaddress was big news in Western European lapds. West German newspapers pub- lished the text under such banner headlines as, “Truman Warns So- viets Against New Aggression,” “Truman Demands Lifting of Iron Curtain,’ and “Truman Demands Russians Give Proof of Will for Peace.” ) In Rome, the Communist news- i paper L'Unita published a short summary under the caption “War Policy of Washington Intensified.” In Paris the independent Le Figaro hailed the address “a great speech,” and added “the solemn {warning to the imperialists of Mos~ cow makes the talk an episode of considerable international import= ance.”
