HEAR TESTIMONY ON J.BOLAND 8 ) IKOREAN W AR{Survivors Tell Ghastly Tale of DIES AFTER \ENDING SAYS| American Prisoners’ "Death. DUE FOR HEARING NOW ON MONDAY ACCIDENT ! ! l ! John Boland, 31, longsho}eman and cab driver, died at 5:13 o'clock this morning at St. Ann’s Hospital, following serious injuries sustain. ed in an auto accident on the Douglas road between Whingding'’s and Douglas two hours earlier. Boland’s pickup truck which he was driving with Don McCammon, another longshoreman, turned over in the ditch landing with all four wheels in the air. Tom Kelly, Yellow Cab driver, stopped at the scene of the acci- dent and helped to extricate Mc- Cammon who was pinned by an ankle between the seat and dash- koard. He notified the telephone operator who called the police, who in turn dispatched the ambu- lance, driven by Joe Ssdliei’, to the scene. Sadlier, accompanied by Phil Bertholl, found Boland walking around apparently uninjured. They examined McCammon who was ly- ing on the ground and found no broken bones and wanted to take him to the hospital but Boland directed them to “run along.” A few minutes later Leonard Redmon, Yellow Cab driver, stop- ped, picked up the two men and took them to their homes. Mrs. Bo- land called Dr. John Siewart who took Boland to the hospital where it . was discovered that the right side of Boland's chest was caved in. Boland suddenly became breath- less an died quickly. Boland is survived by his wife, Bernie, and two children, Gwen- dolyn, 8 and Madge, 4, who live at 1003 Pike Street. He was born in Cumberland, Washington, June 14, 1919, was a member of the local Moose and Elks lodges. He had lived in Juneau for the past ten years and served in the Army dur- ing the last war. No funeral ar- rangements have been made. The remains are at the Charles W. Carter Mortuary. Nomination of Lie For Another Term Is Bel_o re UNSC (By Associated Press) At Lake Success, the United Na- tions Security Council faced the problem of nominating Secretary General Trygve Lie for another three-year term of office or pick- ing his successor. Russia is deter- mined to throw Lie out because he supported wholeheartedly UN action in Korea. The United States strongly favors another term fo: Lie. Merry - Go - Round ey, 8%, TLR ™ LOS ANGELES—There is a ten- dency on the part of some candi- dates in the current election cam- paign to wave their war service before the voters as a great political asset. When a candidate thus ap- peals for votes he then automati- cally invites public scrutiny of his war record. Such a situation exists in Calif- qrnia where candidaip Edward Shattuck is played up as a ‘“vet- The Washington | l} SEATTLE, Oct 20—(P—A week-| end postponement of a scheduled Congressional hearing into the Se- attle-Alaska ship tieup was an-! nounced last night by Rep. Mitchell (D-Wash). The Congressman said he was calling the postponement to conler today with U. 8. Atty. Gen. J. How- ard McGrath on the “legal aspects of the Port Security Bill, and how to apply it on the Seattle-Alaska case.” McGrath will not testify during the hearing which Mitchell tenta- tively rescheduled to begin Monday. Mitchell will conduct the hear- ing as chairman of a House labor and education sub-committee t¢ in- quire into the dispute between the Alaska Steamship Company and the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union (Ind.) The Union has declined to sign on 'stewards for Alaska passenger service because of procedures uded i screening employees by Coast Guard secruity officials. As a result, the company sus- pended its passenger service and concentrated on freight shipments One of the latter voyages, however, ran into diificulty yesterday when steward department crew members of the SS Baranof also refused to sign aboard. Company officials said the Baranof dispute had nothing to do with the screening program. They did not enlarge. TEST WILL BE MADE SEATTLE, Oct. 20—(®—Atty. Gen. J. Howard McGrath pledged assist- ance of the Justice Department to- day in conducting a Congressional hearing into a dispute that has halted steamship passenger service to Alaska. The Alaska Steamship Company stopped passenger service and tied up some of its ships after members of the Marine Cooks and Stewards’ Union (Ind) delayed signing on ves- sels as a protest against the Coast Guard “screening” procedure for crewmen. “This is the first test of the na- tional security program and the new port security act,” McGrath said at a news conference. “We do not want anything to happen that would de- stroy public confidence in the act.” Mitchell announced last night a weekend postponement of a Con- gressional hearing on the ship tieup dispute. BIG THREE GIVE ADVICE T0 NATION, PRESENT. CRISIS (By the Associated Press) America’s only living ex-President, an Allied military leader in World War II and an elder statesman of- fered to the nation last night their advice on keeping this country strong in a tension-packed world. The advice came from Herbert Hoover, Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Bernad M. Baruch, Presiden- tial adviser in two World Wars. Mr. Hoover called for military self-helps from Western Europe, and reorganization of the United Na- tions to take the world’s military- sconomic burden off the shoulders of the United States. In a foreign policy address broad- cast from New York, Mr. Hoover said: ‘“We cannot carry the load for long without fulfilling Stalin’s aopes of bleeding us economically to impotence.” In Pittsburgh, Gen. Eisenhower said America must be strong enough IMacARTHUR Mar as Parachuters Dropped —Reds Are Trapped (By the Associated Press) General MacArthur personaily directed today a highly successful parachute landing by thousands of American troops 23 miles north of Pyongyang, Red Korean capital. He said the war is now definitely com- ing to an end. Since Pyongyang itself is just about secured by United Nations forces, the paratroopers struck from the sky to seal off Red forces flee- ing their lost capital. ATROCITY" OF REDS IS TOLD By Bill Shinn SEOUL, Oct. 20—(P—Eighty Kor- ean political prisoners—both men and women—were set afire with burning gasoline by retreating Communists at Koksan, 50 air mules southeast of Pyongyang, the com- mander of the South Korean army | disclosed today.

The maneuver was a com- plete surprise and the Americans ap- peared to be meeting little resist‘| ance. Artillery, including such | equipment as heavy 105-mm. how- itzers, was dropped to the men who went into action immediately. As pictured by MacArthur, the closing chapter in the historic! United Nations campaign has begun. The war started last June 25 when North Korean Communists invaded | the western-recognized South Ko-| rean Republic. Aerial Climax The aerial climax came less than 24 hours after United Nations troops seized Pyongyang. In the captured capital, three bearded American survivors said 280 U.S. prisoners of war were beaten and murdered in a death march from Seoul to Pyongyang. The story of the inhuman treat- ment of U.S. prisoners at the hands of the Communists was reminiscent of the Bataan death march in the Philippines in the last war. The three U.S. liberated prlsonersl in Pyongyang had hidden under a shedding tears,” Gen. Chung said. “Atrocity is not an unusual thing as far as the Communists are con- cerned,” the Korean general said, “put burning living people with gas is more than a sin and crime.” He said the Korean Reds jailed the men and women in a warehouse set it afire with gas. : The families of the victims were crying with “agonized faces and ' Maj. James H. Houseman, Ameri- Korean army commander in chief,| confirmed the atrocity. He said ‘ grimly: v, { “To the Communists, life means nothing.” LARGEST BAG OF RED TROOPS YET | TAKEN PRISONERS WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 — ® — The Army reported today that United Nations forces took more than 7,000 prisoners in Korea yes- terday—the largest bag for any 24 hours since the conflict began. A spokesman told reporters that 5,600 prisoners were taken by the U.S. 24th Division alone.

The Reds shrugged their shoulders and sald a few more atrocities against them did not mat- ter, The few sarvivors, said the lib- erated prisoners, boosted the Ameri- can POW’s held in Pyongyang to 373. Most of the 373 were moved to the north to an unknown fate as Pyongyang began to totter. The three said they saw no other Americans in Pyongyang except those they marched with from Seoul. Dean Reported Dead They said they were told in Seoul that Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, commander of the U.S. 24th In- fantry Division who disappeared when Taejon fell last July, was in Pyongyang. But when they arrived here they were told General Dean had died in Seoul. There was no confirmation of inear the Koksan police station and this report.

Dulles backed the objectives of a Syrian-Iraqi resolution calling for big ‘power consultations. The five major nations would report back to the current session of the General Assembly any progress' achieved. Britain and France supported the basic aims of the resolution. Russia has not participated thus far in the debate. One stumbling block to the whole proposal revolves around whether the Chinese Communists or the Nationalists would represent China in such Big Five talks. Russia has insisted that the Chi- nese Nationalists have no right in the UN. The United States has resisted any change in China’s rep- resentation. The whole issue still is pending before this General Assem- bly session. In bringing the resolution before the committee, Faris El Khoury of Syria said it was apparent that great power tension has increased in the last two years. He said news that the big nations had worked out their difference “would be greeted by the greatest joy throughout the world.” CHINESE REDS AID COMMIES IN INDOCHINA Embattled anlry Given Assistance, American Officials Learn safest and most interior Alaska.

Gov. Ernest Gruening was the Iast | witness, first expressing pleasure at the visit of the Senators. ! Gov.

The Ju- neau runway extension is vital in wartime, but we can't afford to wait, One-quarter of the cost, under the Federal Aid program, already has been offered by the Territory.” Lt. Gen. William E.
