A I THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXVI., NO. 11,674 JUNEAU, ALASKA, MON! N Defense Line in Korea Battered ATTLEE IS HERE FOR CONFERENCE British Prime Minister and Truman Will Discuss | PresentWorld Crisis | WASHINGTON, Dec. 4— (A — British Prime Minister Attlee ar- rived here today for talks with| President Truman aimed at finding a common policy in the world crisis and averting the threat of a global war. Attlee’s big four-engined British airliner “Cathay” rolled up on the National Airport apron where Pre- sident Truman, Secretary of State Acheson, Defense Secretary Mar- shall and other officials were wait- ing at about 9:45 a m. After the greetings, Attlee made | a statement for the newsmen there. He said his 4im in the talks with | Mr. Truman—which are to get undérway tomorrow—*“is to align our policies in the new and troubled situation in the world and to find | the means of upholding what we | both know to be right.” Communist Bloc He accused the Communist bloc | of trying to “drive a wedge between our two peoples.” A harsh, cold wind, driving low | wet clouds, swept over the port as the British and American leaders talked for a minute or so before | the President returned to his wait- | ing automobile. In the meantime the British lead- | er had greeted all the American officials he knew, such as Ache- son, Marshall and W, Averill Har- riman, the President’s foreign af-| fair adviser, and also ambassador Sir Oliver Franks and other diplo- mats from the British Common-{ wealth countries, Greets Truman Attlee looked jaunty, carrying his black Homburg in his left hand and with a spray of white heather in the buttonhole of his black over-coat, when he stepped- briskly down the stairs from the plane with hand outstretched to Mr, Tru- man. From the airport, President Tru- man returned to his office where he had an engagement to see Sen- ate Democratic Leader Lucas of Ill- | inois and other party leaders. Mr. Truman's schedule for the day also included an early after-| noon conference with Secretary Acheson_ They customarily meet on Mondays to review week end dev- elopments. Attlee and his party of advisers went to the British Embassy. J. Sidney Rood, with the District Engineers office, U.S. Army, left to- day for his headquarters in An- chorage. He has been in this area to check army properties at Sitka, Ketchikan, Haines, Skagway and | Juneau. The Washington Merry - Go-Round Copyright, 1950, by Bell Syuaicate, Ine.) By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON—In a highly se- cret conference with the Senate and House Foreign Relations com- mittees, Secretary of State Dean Acheson warned that a third world war is “imminent,” if not already in progress. | The Korean conflict might spread | to Yugoslavia and possibly obheri points in Europe and Asia “at any | moment,” Acheson declared. Asked if there were still time to | avoid another world-wide conflict, | the Secretary of State replied Lhm.‘ it could be avoided only by prompt | and concerted action against the| Russian-Chinese Communists ent- “ente by our friends in the United | Nations. |R. Smith, Leo V. Osterman; MRS. ROOSEVELT IS THREATENED; POLICE ON GUARD NEW YORK, Dec. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel last night— apparently unaware she had been threatened with death if she ap- peared. Shortly before her scheduled ap- pearance at the annual dinner of the Beth-el hospital, police said they received an anonymous tele- phone message. “A man with a gun is going to shoot Mrs. Roosevelt if she appears tonight,” the caller said. Uniformed police and plain clothesmen were mobilized at nearby stafions and sent to the scene. There was no untoward incident. 90 CARRIED ON ALASKA COASTAL WEEKEND TRIPS Alaska Coastal Airlines flights over the weekend carried a total of 90 passengers with 12 on interport, 53 arriving and 25 departing.

The ace Associated Press photog- rapher and I were to have flown back to Tokyo together for a rest. The night before, Frank said: » “Old Pappy is going to stay here. I feel better up with the kids at the front.” Frank did not say so, but he knew the kids up front felt better when he was around. It happened Friday night near | Koto, which is six miles south of the Changjin Reservoir in northeast raro, a public information officer, saw Noel captured. A convoy was trying to break E. | through to a cut-off American Ma- rine Regiment. The convoy, carry=- ing supplies and reinforcements, was ambushed several miles south of Koto. Capraro was with Noel when the column was attacked. Later Capraro told newsmen he saw Noel dragged away by Chinese Reds. Noel, 45-year-old veteran of many Korean campaigns, volunteered to take a jeep down the road after it became apparent that the Reds were coming at the convoy from all sides. He was going after assistance. That’s when the Reds got him. Frank had sfen many wars — the big ones and the nasty little ones. Somewhere along the line, maybe in Burma or Germany or how to be afraid. LAND MANAGEMENT FIELD WORK IS ENDED FOR SEASON The Bureau of Land Manage- ment’s field work for the past seasen was concluded last week with the return of Harold Radcliffe, cadastral engineer and his crew from Wrangell, where they surveyed homesites and lands in that area, Leonard Berlin, Chief of the Bur- eau in Alaska said today.

He told a reporter that the press of legislation because of the Ko- | sidetracking of the Alaskan as well as the Hawaiian statehood bills for this session. New bills would have to be in- troduced at the next session if the Senate does not act before Jan. 3. Since returning, the Senate has |had under discussion a motion to |take up the Alaskan bill which would be followed by the Hawaiian | bill. Both bills passed the House during the spring. | Holland said he is in favor of {slawhood for both Alaska and Ha- { waii. “The only question which has con- cerned statehood for Hawaii,” he | said, “is its heterogenous popula- |tion, and these people have cer- | tainly proved their loyalty both in World War II and the present Ko- | rean conflict.” | Impressed by Alaskans | Holland said he was “iremen- | dously impressed” by a group of | Alaskan Territorial officers, mayors {and business leaders who appeared | before the Senate Fublic Works | Committee two years ago. | “Their aggressiveness and their many other fine qualities sold me on Alaska,” he said. “These men |were of a hard-hitting type, like iour early American pioneers. We need more of that 3roup.” He said that there were “so many arguments” in favor of Alaskan ;smtehood that it would be impos- | sible to enumerate them all. i Alaska’s Resources | “Alaska has unbounded re- Jsaurces," he said, “and they need | statehood to have a chance to de- i velop them so that they can attract | investors, new citizens and others {who will help them open up the {land.” Holland said one objection to the | bill had been Alaska’s isolated ex- | panses of land. But, he said, Cali- | fornia had perhaps as vast unde- | veloped areas when it was admitted | to the union. He said that Florida under Span- | {ish and British rule and later under | |a territorial government didn’t be- |gin to grow until it became a state | in 1845. “Today,” he said, “Florida has| {a population of 2,733,000 persons | land ranks 20th among the states in population.” Compares to Scandinavia | Holland also stressed the point | that much of Alaska is between the } |55th and 65th parallels—the same | | parallels which cross the Scandina- | |vian countries with the highly-| | developed centers of Copenhagen, | + Stockholm and Oslo. Rep. Peterson (D-Fla), Chairman of the Public Lands Committee | which reported favorably on both | statehood bills, echoed Holland’s | | remarks. Peterson said thdt “I am con- | vinced that both Alaska and Ha- DAY, DECEMBER 4, 1950 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS =] STATEHOOD IS SIDE-TRACKED BY RENT CONTROL Lucas Wi?h—draws State- hood Motion, Prob- ably Killing Bill WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — (P — Democratic Leader Lucas of Illi- nois side-tracked the Alaskan !rean war probably would cause a |statehood bill in the Senate today, probably killing it for the session. Lucas withdrew his motion — which the Senate has been debat- ing for the past week—to take up the controversial measure. His move probably also dooms a companion bill to grant statehood to Hawaii. Both measures had been approved by the House. Lucas acted to pave the way for Senate debate on a resolution to ex- tend the present rent control law for two months beyond Dec. 31. Southern Democrats, aided by some Republicans, had been fight- ing the move to bring up the Alaskan bill for Senate debate. But administration supporters, led by Senator O’'Mahoney (D-Wyo), had refused to concede defeat and had intended to make a big push to get a vote today. Unanimous Consent Fails Lucas first tried to get unanimous consent to set the statehood bill aside while the Senate proceeded to talk about rent controis. This would have left the statehood mo- tion in a favorable position once a decision was reached on rents. But Senator Stennis (D-Miss), one of the southern foes of state- hood objected, forcing Lucas to withdraw his motion entirely. It's doudtful now whether he ever will be given an opportunity to re-offer it. Bartlett and Greuning Hopeful Delegate Bartlett of Alaska, who introduced the Alaska statehood bill, and Gov. Ernest Gruening of the territory told a reporter they {will try to find some way to get the | Senate to consider the measure be- fore this session of Congress ends on Jan. 3, at the latest. ‘They plan to confer tomorrow with Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), Chairman of the Senate Insular Committee who has led the state- hood supporters in the Senate. Conference With O’Mahoney “I shall ask Senator O’Mahoney if there is not some way in which the Alaska statehood bill can be brought up in the Senate” Bart- lett said. “While I am extremely disappointed, if a way cannot be found I shall reintroduce the mea- sure in the next session of Con- gress and push for its immediate consideration.” | Gruening said he approves ori‘ Bartlett’s plan and while he is dis- appointed he is confident if the measure is brought to the floor next session “it will be passed quickly.” “The majority of the Senate favors enactment of the Alaska statehood measure,” Gruening told a reporter. “The critical events now before Congress and the opposition of a small group of Senators has blocked action on the measure thus far.” FROM PETERSBURG { wai1 should have statehood and the gquicker the better, We promised | them statehood a long time ago.” | Florida for Statehood !

MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — B — Stung by Republican taunts, ad- ministration forces in the Senate planned a last big push today to get a vote on statehood for Alaska. Mostly they conceded the fight was hopeless, and to many observers the Alaskan bill—along with a sim- ilar one for Hawaii—looked like a lost cause. But Senator O’'Mahoney (D-Wyo), who has led the fight, stuck to a declaration that he will not con- cede defeat, and that he hasn't abandoned hope. The House has passed both mea- sures, and Senate approval would send them to the White House for signature, President Truman has urged that they be passed. Senator Cordon (R-Ore) told the Senate Friday before its weekend recess that with the exception of O'Mahoney, its Democratic leader- ship has fought only feebly for the statehood bills. Bloc Criticized Cordon and Senator Morse, also an Oregon Republican, criticized a Southern Democratic bloc which so far has kept the issue from coming to a vote. They did not mention some Republican support the Dixie group has received. " They spoke after Senator Lucas (D-TI1), the majority floor leader, had ordered the statehood bills set aside today to make room for a rent control bill, unless there is some hope they can be passed. Lucas was reported planning a final appeal to the southern group to “let this bill come to a vote.” | He has denounced their tactics as a filibuster. i Issue Ensnarled The issue has become ensnarled {in parliamentary procedures under | which objection by even one Sena- | tor can prevent it from coming up {for a vote, and the southern group keeps an objector constantly avail- able. O’Mahoney told a reporter he has had a map of Alaska prepared, with maps of tHe Scandinavian penin- sula, Finland and Denmark super- imposed. “I'm going to bring this map into | the Senate and show how 13,000,000 persons in those countries live in the same latitudes as Alaska, and | have developed - prosperous coun- tries.” i His object, he said, is to answer | opponents who in four days of de- | bate Have argued that Alaska’s cli- | mate has prevented its development, |and will prevent its development in ' the future. | STILL HAVE HOPES i WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — # —| Delegates to Congress from Alaska and Hawali said Saturday they are | more than ever convinced that the | | Senate would pass the two pending | “.statehood bills if they were permit- | ted to come to a vote. | Delegate Farrington (R-Hawaii) | estimated that less than 20 Senators iare involved in “filibuster tactics” blocking a Senate vote on the mo- !tion to consider the Alaska state- | hood bill on its merits. | He blamed “One Republican — | Senator Butler (Neb) — and the Dixiecrats.” Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska) said the chance of passing the bills at the current session does not look | good. “But,” he suid, “it seems to me |that the Senate debate this week makes it clear that the opposition | s numerically much smaller than the advocates of statehood ever an- ticipated. If the bill comes to a vote by MASS RETREAT LOGS ROADS, KOREAN SECTOR By DON WHITEHEAD WITH THE US. 8TH ARMY IN KOREA, Dec. 4—{®—The great Al- lied retreat is one week old to- night and the roads south from Pyongyang are clogged with the mass movement of a defeated army. Down the dusty brown roads are pouring streams of men, trucks, guns and heavy equipment. They are moving back to escape the Chi- nese Red troops who follow them slowly but relentlessly. It was seven days ago tonight that the Chinese smashed into the United Nations forces with . their third straight night attack. They came out of the hills and valleys in masses. They overwelmed U.N. frontline defenses by sheer weight of manpower, It was this third attack which turned the tide of battle decisively and swept the Eighth Army back from the big offensive intended ‘to end the war.” But the Reds failed to achieve a complete victory. They failed be- cause the Eighth Army pulled back on wheels faster than the Chinese could advance on foot. This mobility was the one thing that saved most of the Eighth Army from encirclement and destruction north of the Chongchon river. This ability to move quickly has saved the Eighth Army more than once in this campaign. Where the U.N. defense line will be drawn in this retreat is not yet clear. Right now the army is in a position only to fight a rearguard action against the Red tide creep- ing southward. TWO SPEAKERS FEATURE JUNEAU LIONS TODAY Two speakers were featured at a regular meeting of the Juneau Lions Club this noon at the Legion Dugout with the Juneau Woman's Club serving. Gordon Smith, Seat- tle, special international represen- tative, spoke on Lionism and Joseph Morgan, head of the Bureau of Reclamation Investigations Division here, talked on water power poten. tials in Alaska, Smith announced three new Al- aska Clubs at Spenard, Homer and another one at Anchorage. He said that he hoped to attend the Alaska Lions convention at Sitka March 15, 16 and 17. “No project is toc big for Lions,” he stated and then outlined accomplishments of various clubs that had at fipst seemed too big. Morgan pointed out that the av- ailability of low cost power was a vital factor in the future develop- ment of Alaska and said that this morning he learned the Bureau of the Budget had approved $5,700,000 for the continuation of the Eklutna power project near Anchorage. He briefly described the Eklutna pro- ject and told of investigations at Lake Dorothy near Juneau, Swan Lake near Keichikan and Susitna in the Anchorage area. George Tapley was in charge of the program. There was some discussion of a Christmas party ch will be taken up at a board meeting Thursday night in the oifice of the Alaska Coastal Air- lines The Rev. Walter Soboleff an- nounced that 50 Alaska Natives would present authentic Indian dances in the High School gym at 8 o'clock December 16. The event is being sponsired by the Juneau Rotary Club. Carl Rusher presided in the ab- sence of President Jerry Williams and thanked the Juneau Womait's Club for the fine luncheon they had prepared. New members will be iurlull&di next Monday when the club meets as usual at the Baranof Hotel. TO VISIT IN SEATTLE Mrs. Robert LaJoie and her two young sons, Gary and Rickie, have | left via Pan American plane for Reds 'HORDES OF REDS MAKE BIG DRIVE {Hundreds omousands of Commies Thrown Into Korean Front (By the Associated Press) United Nations troops, battered by an ever-growing Chinese Com- munist army, faced a worsening crisis today in their headlong re- treat southward in Korea. The Allies were withdrawing from Pyongyang, the North Korean capi- tal they captured Oct. 20. Field dispatches said the U.S. 8th Army might set up a defense perimeter around Seoul, South Korean capital There did not appear to be enough U.N. troops in Korea to set up a new defense line across tha Korean peninsula, Caught in Trap The whole U.S. 10th Corps was endangered in the frozen northeast. Five U.N. divisions were driving to- wards the escape port of Hungnam, But they were heavily outnumbered. Marines and Doughboys were caught in deep enemy traps. General MacArthur estimated the Chinese Communists have an 818,000 man army in North Korea and along the Manchurian boundary either in action or ready for it against the United Nations. An- other 200,000 Chinese are moving to the area from central China. Thus China appears to have committed one-fourth™ of her = 4,000,000-man total military strength. The U.S. Chief of Staff—Gen. J. Lawion Collins — conferred with MacArthur in the miiltary crisis and then flew on to talk with commanders in the field. ew War” Threat The appearance of more and more Chinese Communists in the “new war” threatened the entire UN. position on the Korean peninsula. U.S. Marines made a bloody 12- mile retreat on the west side of the Changjin reservoir. The Fifth and Seventh Regiments reached Hagaru, joining elements of the U.S. Seventh Infantry Division which escaped a Red trap on the east side of the reservoir. Casualties were heavy. To the southeast an estimated 45,000 Chinese were reported massing for a drive on Hamhung and its port city of Hungnam. Ad- vance Chinese units were reported 15 miles from Hamhung. There were no reports from the South Korean Capital and Third Divisions which had been pushing up the northeast coast toward the Soviet border when last heard from. 15 Divisions of Reds Five Chinese armies pushed on Pyongyang. Thé Red forces included 15 divisions 120,000 to 150,000 troops. In Pyongyang, AP Corespondent Tom Lambert reported: “Tense and quiet, this one-time Communist capital awaits the return of its former Red masters.” AP Correspondent Leif Erickson, at Eighth Army headquarters, re- ported Lt. Gen. Walter H. Walker was directing an apparently skiliful escape of the Allied forces. Negotiations Difficult Amid the deepening gloom of the military situation, diplomats at Lake Success held to one ray of hope—that secret weekend confer- ences between India’s Sir Benegal N. Rau and Communist China’s Wu Hsiu-Chuan might provide a peace formula. The two met for several hours last night in what Sir Benegal said was an attempt to find a way out of crisis brought on by Red Chinese intervention in Korea.
