HISS CONVICTION UPHELD BY COURT APPEALS TODAY NEW YORK, Dec. 7—#®—Con- viction of Alger Hiss, former high State Department official, on a charge of perjury was unanimously upheld today by the U. 8. Circuit Court of Appeals. The lanky, 46-year-old Hiss was convicted last January of lying when he denied slipping govern- ment secrets to Whittaker Cham- bers, courier for a pre-war Soviet spy ring. Hiss was sentenced to five years in prison, but has been free on 610,000 bail pending appeal. SENTENCE OF 25 YEARS DEMANDED FOR HARRY GOLD PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7T—®—The government today demanded a pri- .son sentence of 25 years for con- fessed atomic spy courier Harry Gold, until Saturday morning to permit “reflection” by U.S. District Judge James P. McGranery. The delay surprised the crowd jamming the court room. Gold re- ceived it without visible emotion, and later was led back to his prison cell. U.S. Attorney Gerald A. Gleasou said his recommendation for the 25- year term had the approval of At- torney General Howard McGrath. And he charged that Gold, in help- ing deliver U.S. atomic and indus- trial secrets to Soviet Russia, had acted “in contempt of the authority of the United States.” FROM ANNETTE William C. Hester, with the CAA at Annette, is registered at the Baranof Hotel. The Washington Merry Go- Round Bell Synateats, Ine.) By DBEW PEARSON ASHINGTON—It’s just dawn- ing on Senators and Representa- tives that the State of Georgia will have a headlock on Congres- sional policy next year. This is the way it lines up: Sen. Walter George, elder states- man of southern conservatives, will completely dominate the tax-mak- ing Senate Finance Committee. The administration’s Vhief spokesman on the committee, Scott Lucas, was defeated. Sen. Dick Russell, also of Georgia and the master-mind of the south- ern Democrat-Republican coalition, | will hold the balance of power on most issues. Through his friendship with - Tait, he can throw enough votes either way to defeat or pass| key measures. Also, Russell succeed the defeated Millard Tyd- ings as chairman of the powerful Armed Services Committee. Rep.

'KEEP TOURIST ASSN. OUT OF POLITICS SAYS CARTER T0 CHAMBER Election of six board members for the Juneau Chamber of Com- | merce will take place December 14. | Nominations were closed at a regu- |lar meeting today with the follow- !ing having been named: Herbert | Rowland, Franz Nagel, Dr. Clayton ) Polley, O. F. Benecke, Jack Bur- ford, F. O. Eastaugh, Henry Green, | Robert Cowling, Alva Blackerby, Herman Beyer, and Joe Werner. The outgoing president automatic- ally becomes a board member, mak- ling a total of seven. Charles W. Carter, chairman of the tourist committee, gave a report on its activities and a review of events leading up to the formation of an Alaska Visitors Association. He gave credit to the Alaska De- velopment Board for “taking the {ba]l and doing a good job.” ‘Warned Carter, “It is my personal \npimon that this must be kept out 1 of politics or it is a dead duck right now. It must an all-Alaska effort with everybody contributing some- | thing.” Dr. John Clements reported that ‘Lhe Chamber would furnish cash {awards for the best Christmas deco- | rated window displays, that it was | hoped to obtain at least five mer- chandize prizes for the best deco- wlrawd residences and that judges iwould be appointed soon. A letter from Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon was read in regard [to his Alaska trip and the Interior Department’s reservation policy. Wrote Morse, “I had my executive assistant gather some material on | this problem. Although I am not en- i tirely familiar with all the facts, it does appear to me that the Depart- ment’s reservation policy is subject to serious question and I intend to (look into this matter as the occa- {sion arises.” A reply was read from A. D. Lawrence, General Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, in re- sponse to a telegram from the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce sent November 30, protesting the dele- tion of Pelican from the mail boat run. Lawrence wrote that the route had not been shortened to end at Elfin Cove as erroneously reported and that requests had been received from three more stops on this route. He stated that all classes of mail were being flown to Pelican now. Guests were: W. I. Martin, dis- trict sales manager of Union Oil Co., Seattle; T, P. Hansen, district representative Union Oil Co., Ket- chikan; R. L. Wood, of the Black Manufacturing Co., Anchorage; and Gordon Smith, of Lions Interna- tional, Seattle.

There will be fourteen in the group—all talented entertainers in the Emblem Club show troop. Their four or five shows will have three public showings as well as the EIks' big event Saturday night in the Elks' Hall.

The public appearances will begin at the Baranof Bubble Room at 10:30 p.m. Friday when the Skag- way people will put on the Cowgirl and Cowboy act. Those Elks who saw it in Skagway six weeks ago can guarantee that it is good and tal- ented entertainment. Next presentation of the Emblem Players will be at the Elks dance ‘Saturday night, when the cowgirls and cowboys will have become Floradora girls and singing bartend- ers. Part of this act will be the Kangaroo Court and “The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” that has become famous as a Skagway tourist pre- sentation . during . .the . summer months.

A Va- riety Act, the Skagwayites are scheduled for a 1:30 a.m. showing at Mike's. And Sunday afternoon the Ha- waiian Act will be presented in the Bubble Room by Baranof manager James O'Brien. Elks will entertain the visiting Skagwayites at a cocktail party and buffet supper Saturday night preceding the dance—which will be- gin at 9 o'clock on the dot to give time for the program planned. Again Sunday, following the Bubble Room show, a no-host din- ner, with the Skagway visitors as guests is planned by the Elks. In the meantime, the Elks Kan- garoo Court will be in session over the weekend with Dishonorable Judge Pat Carroll in charge. Earle Hunter, Wallis George, Harold Fen- nell and Pat Carroll will call on Elk business men and government workers around town to check up on those whiskers they have been growing for the last few weeks.

Lucas said the rent control bill will be followed by an attempt to take up the railroad labor bill. Then he said, “some emergency legisla- |tion dealing with the Korean situ- ation” will have the right of way. “T should like to take up for con- sideration the Alaska . statehood bill,” Lucas said. “I should do so in preference to the railway labor bill if I thought there was the slightest chance of passing the statehood bill.” Lucas added: “If such (Korean) legislation comes before us, T presume we will have to give it our attention in preference to a motion to consider the Alaska statehood bill.” FUNDS RESTORED FOR SPRING WORK ON ARC HIGHWAYS Spring operations on the Alaska Road Commission’s highways next season is now assured with the ad- vices received today by Col. John R. Noyes, Road Commissioner, from Washington, that $600,000 has been allowed by the Bureau of the Bud- get, from funds amounting to $1,- 100,000 previously withdrawn from the 1951 fiscal year appropriations. Restoration of the funds was re- quested by the Road Commission and the Interior Department in view of the fact that the amount with- !drawn was the fund reserved for the early seasonal operations. The withdrawal of $1,100,000 from the Alaska Road Commission ap- propriation was included in the general withdrawal last October by the Bureau of the Budget from ap- propriations to various agencies, in paring .government appropriations in all non-defense activities. While the Alaska Road Commis- sion is not a defense agency, Col. Noyes pointed out that the work it is doing is of primary importance in Alaskan defense plans, which fact justified the restoring of funds for spring operations. Restoration of the $600,000 fund will permit the start of normal op- eration in the spring on all active road projects except the new Pax- son-McKinley Park road. Work on this project will be curtailed as it | was included in the remaining por- tion of the funds withdrawn, Col. | Noyes said. IDENTHOUSE ON APT. BUILDING WILL BE FINISHED ON DEC. 13 The Mendenhall Apartment building is now roofed off and the first story is completed on the pent- house, said Ken Eskestrand, build- ing foreman for the Anderson Con- struction Company. Work is progressing fast enough on the second story of the pent- house so that it will be completed by Wednesday of next week. The built up roofing for the entire building will start upon completion of the penthouse with weather per- mitting. Snow and cold weather slowed construction about two weeks but the building will be completed on schedule by mid-June. Machinery for the two elevators, exhaust fans for apartments and heating of the building' will be in- stalled in the penthouse. The two elevators and complete machinery for them have arrived and elevator installers arrive shortly after the first of the year. Some interior partitions are be- ing erected on the lower floors, Plastering will start shortly after the first of the year. Windows are installed temporarily and will be removed later for weatherstripping.
