The Washington Merry - Go - Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1951, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON—Tim McInerny, the ex-Justice Department offic- jal and friend of statesmen, was visiting with Pope Pius XII at Castel Gandolfo, his summer pal- ace. McInerny, formerly a Boston newsman, had khown the Pope when the latter visited Boston as Papal Secretary. As they paced up and down the terrace together, the conversation got around to the Teheran Conference, at which Churchill, arguing for a second front through southern Europe, pointed to the influence of the Catholic’ Church in that area. To this Stalin replied: “And how many divisions has the Pope?” “Tell me, your holiness,” asked McInerny, “what was your answer when Churchill later told you about that?” Quick as a flash, the Pope re- plied: “Tell my son Joseph that he will meet my divisions in eter- nity.” Tax Frauds Presiderit Truman has now warn- ed the nation that Mr. John Q. (Continued on Page Four) BUDGET BATTLE STARTS Senator Byrd—AIso Hits Out at Tax Increases— Coalition Formed WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 — (® — Senator Byrd proposed today that Congress carve $7,000,000,000 out of President Truman’s huge new bud- get and raise taxes by $9,500,000,000 [instead of the $16,000,000,000 the President suggested. The Virginia Democrat, an out- spoken foe of what he calls ex- travagant administration spending policies, said that plan would not deny a dollar needed for defense and produce a balanced budget well under the $71,594,000,000 the Presi- dent asked. Meanwhile, crying the potent coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats in Con- gress made ready to war on a flock of “fair deal” measures the Presi- dent put into his “national survival” budget, his estimates of government spending and revenues in the fiscal year starting July 1. Budget Assailed Top Republicans ssailed the budget as a “spending-as-usual” ! plan for the “same old, tired Soci- alist program.” They promised to crack down generally on non-defense spending. That is a pledge which Congress members of both parties normally voice every January but is not al- ways fulfilled. Mr. Truman has presented five budgets to Congress, other than the one submitted yesterday. Twice ac- tual spending has been less than he proposed. Twice it has exceeded his estimates. | Prospects are that the current | year’s spending, spurred by the Ko- rean war, will exceed the budget by more than $6,000,000,000. Ending a short-lived surface re- conciliation following Mr. Truman’s “Dear Harry” letter to Byrd, the Virginia Senator declared in a state- ment: “In my experience of 18 years, considering the perils that confront our nation, this (budget) message represents the very height of fiscal irresponsibility. The President re- news his advocacy of the Socialistic measures known as the fair deal.” |48 ARRIVE ON BARANOF THIS MORNING; SAILS AT 5:45 THIS AFTERNOON Passengers disembarking from the Baranof this ‘morning totaled 48. i i Scheduled time of departure for the |age, vice president of the board 5:45 this afternoon.|of Commissioners of Alaska Hous- westward is Master of the ship is Capt.

ON FLIGHT, LAND IN ENGLAND LONDON, Jan. 16 — (® — Six of America’s biggest bombers—B-36's which can tote an atom bomb 10,000 miles—thundered out of the Atlan- tic mists today and landed in Eng- land for the first time. ‘They arrived singly at Lakenheath Airdrome, 70 miles northeast of here, after a one-stop flight of about 7,000 miles from Carswell Air Force base at Fort Worth, Texas, starting last Saturday. The 400-mile per hour air goliaths, powered by six regular and four jet engines, flew the Atlantic after pausing at Limestone Air Force base in Maine. Actual flying time was about 24 hours. They dropped some practice bombs enroute, the Air Force re- ported, without saying where. The flight was part of the pro- gram for teaching navigation and fuel consumption techniques to the crews, an Air Force spokesman said. The planes and crews are sched- However, there have been rumors that B-36's would be stationed in England because of the worsening world situation. Lakenheath field has been used by the U.S. Third Air Division since 1948 as a base for B-29 Superfortresses and B-50 training operations. The training mission was headed } MILLION DOLLAR FIRE, ALASKA R. R. SHOPS, ANCHORAGE ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 16— (®—Flames, believed to have started in a blacksmith shop, last night destroyed the Alaska Railroad’s car repair shop here, with a loss unof- ficially estimated at $1,000,000. There were no casualties. Railway officials declined to set a damage figure, but firemen, who waged a successful four hour battle to control the blaze in 26 below zero weather, said the shop, equip- ment and rolling stock loss was “tremendous.” The blaze engulfed the 550 by 90 foot shop building shortly after breaking out at 7:46 p.m. Fire- fighters from the railway depart- ment, Anchorage, Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson joined in the battle. They managed to save nearby equipment and build- ings of the government-owned rail- way. Equipment Lost Lost were a new diesel engine, a new power car, three coaches, the shop building, and adjoining coach shed, machine tools, three coaches and “at least” two steam engines. At the height of the fire, the shop building walls collapsed inward, aid- ing firefighters’ efforts to save nearby buildings. Flames and sparks shot several hundred feet into the night sky, ALLIES ON AIRPORT IN SUWON NOW Crack Through Shell of Commie Resistance- Western Drive On (By the Associated Press) An Ailied tank-infantry combat team cracked through a shell of Communist resistance today and plunged into the airport city of Suwon. It is 17 air miles south of the Red-held capital of Seoul. It was the fourth town—and first major objective — to fall to the United Nations troops in their big western front counterthrust—called a reconnaissance in force. There was no indication that Allied forces would remain in Su- won for any length of time. A spokesman in the field ex- plained that it is the usual prac- tice on reconnaissance missions of this type to probe enemy positions, determine their strength, gather as much information as possible and then withdraw. An AP. field dispatch said three separate light plane observers first confirmed the Allied entrance into by Col. Thomas P. Gerrity, com-|attracting hundreds of Anchorage|Suwon.

Black of Hollywood, Cal,l Drop Bombs On Pyongyang TOKYO, Jan. 16 — (M — Sixteen Superfortresses dropped 130 tous of bombs today on Pyongyang. 'The half-hour bombing by radar through a heavy overcast continued the B-29 pounding of the battered Red Korean capital. The B-29's encountered no anti- aircraft or fighter opposition. Flying through snow flurries, Fifth Air Force fighter bombers killed or wounded about 150 Com- munists in strikes on the Suwon and Seoul areas. B-26's bombed and strafed airfields at Pyongyang, Kimpo and Sunanju. The B-26's damaged 10 boxcars in the Seoul marshalling yards. LOUSSAC WILL BE KIWANIS SPEAKER WEDNESDAY MEET Mayor Z. T.

Army firemen saved a big snow- plow and spreader. The main repair shop contained machine, “wheel, carpentery, paint, coach repair and upholstery shops as well as the mechanical depart- ment offices. SECOND FIRE, $250,000 LOSS AT ANCHORAGE ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 16— (P—Fire destroyed two separate res- taurants here early today before the embers were cool from a million dollar fire which raged through Alaska Railroad shops last night. Authorities have given no indica- tion of any connection between the three major fires which broke out in the city within the past 12 hours. Hard pressed firemen were called to battle flames at the two eating establishments after a fire at the railroad car repair shop was barely under control. Completely Destroyed Both the Thompson’s Restaurant and the Belair Drive-In were com- pletely destroyed. Loss at the Thompson establishment was esti- mated at $250,000. Three persons suffered minor in- juries in the railroad fire. A cleaning woman broke a leg in a leap from the second story window of the repair shop.

Reds Routed The Allied force routed about 100 Red troops in Suwon. The bulk of the Communist garrison had fled Monday under fierce Allied bombing and strafing attacks. Hundreds of rds were machine-gunned on the road running north to Seoul. The Allied western drive began| Monday south of Osan. Allied forces on the central front pulled back out of the Wonju wedge in what the Eighth Army communi- que described as a redeployment to “usher in a new phase” of the battle for the vital Sobaek mountain passes. Censorship forbade mentioning the new defense line. The communi- | que said the “United Nations line has been strengthened and short- ened.” There was no indication Allied troops were planning to go all the; way to Seoul. In the path lay three Red armies totalling about 120,000 troops south of the Han river near Seou]. Planes Renew Attacks Allied warplanes resumed their attacks on Red concentrations. Airmen said they spotted about 5,000 Communist troops southeast of Seoul, of which they claimed to have killed 1,600 in bombings and | stragmes. Gen, Hoyt S. Vandenberg, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff, flew a heli- copter over the central front today i for a first-hand look at how Allied planes were working in support of ground forces. On his return he said “the Allied bombing, napalm- ing, straffing and rocket attacks appeared to have been very effec- tive.” SHRINE (LUB TO SPONSOR DANCE ~ Bov scour FUND For the benefit of the Eagle River Scout Camp Building Fund, the Juneau Shrine Club is sponsor- ing a free public dance to be given January 20 at the Elks Hall, it was announced today.

A rescue party braved high winds and subzero cold Sunday to reach the scene of the crash, 32 CONFERENCE FOR ALASKA DEFENSE CALLED, JAN. 22 Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman advised Gov. Ernest | Gruening today that a conference of unions and contractors engaged in building construction in the Ter- ritory is to be held in Anchorage, January 22. ‘The conference is sponsored by an Inter-Departmental Committee of executive agencies of the United States with defense responsibilities in Alaska. The purposes of the conference are (a) to discuss with the unions and contractors the urgent import- ance of efficient production in de- out stoppages or interruptions dur- ing the ensuing construction, and (b) to promote agreement among the unions and contractors which will provide assurances that they will resort to mutually acceptable special procedures to determine equitable wages and other terms and conditions of employment with- out stoppages should the negotia- tions to take place fail to result iin collective bargaining agreements. Secretary Chapman advises that he has been requested to make it clear that this conference will con- cern itself with the above matters 1 exclusively. It is anticipated that Wayne Morse, U.S. Senator from Oregon and members of the Armed Scrvices Committee of the Senate wil act as chairman of the conference. Gov.

Doolin is in the traffic department fense construction in Alaska with~|refuge. Plane (rash Near Cordova Frozen, Death; Rescue Party Also Crashes miles northwest of here. Rescuers found the bodies of the four victims huddled in the cabin of the plane. They apparently had escaped in- jury when a snowstorm forced the plane down Saturday bui froze to death while awaiting rescue. The dead were Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Dyson, Albany, Ore., Fena Ekmo and Ernie Cruz, both of Cordova. Pilot Seeks Aid The pilot, Bud Richardson, after making his passengers as comfort- able as possible, set out through deep snow and bitter cold to get help. He was spotted Sunday near an old cabin about five miles away. He was near exhaustion when help finally arrived. The passengers were frozen after apparently having escaped the crash-landing without injury. Rescue pilot Stewart Starbuck got out word of the tragedy yesterday after narrowly averting disaster himself. Rescue Plane Crash Starbuck made a daring landing of a rescue party Sunday near the spot where Richardson had been sighted. A doctor was included. As Starbuck took off from the iso- lated area, a terrific wind caught his plane and carried it backward. It crashed on its back, breaking in two. He escaped without injury, spent the night in the plane wreckage and mushed to the same “Mile 27" cabin in which Richardson had taken Both pilots were flown to Cordova yesterday in small planes. Below Zero Weathey Temperatures in the region have sunk to 20 and 25 degrees below zero in the past nights. It was almost a miracle that Rich- ardson survived after f:itn mis- fortune as falling into water on his trek for aid. He was near exhaus- tion but his condition was reported as satisfactory. Some members of a ground rescue party, who were flown to a spot several miles from where Richard- son’s plane crash-landed, said con- ditions were as bad as they ever have seen in the regian. The sub-zero cold was made more intense by strong winds. It took them three hours to hike five miles from the crash scene to the cabin to which Richardson had trekked. Pioneers Victims Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Dyson, pioneer Alaskans, operated a clothing estab- lishment in Cordova for a long period of years. Mr. Dyson retired from active business three years ago. He and his wife moved to Valdez where they spent one summer with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Burch. They left for the states to make their perma- nent residence ‘two years, finally settling in a home at Albany, Ore- gon. Just before Christmas, 1950, they -ame back to Valdez to spend th- noliday system with the Burch’s land & granddaughter, Mrs. Angus Whyte. They left for Cordova last week to spend a few days visiting their many Cordova friends, and were on their way back to Valdez when the tragic landing which claimed their lives occurred. They had planned to return to their Ore- gon home in February. Mrs. Fena Ekemo came to the Territory as a young girl nearly 50 years ago. She married in Valdez and raised a family of five children there. A few years ago her two sons moved to Cordova where they ment. Mrs. Ekemo, an expert dress- maker, moved to Cordova also, where she established herself in her trade. Last fall, her boys sold out in Cordova and moved back to Val- dez. Her children had been ex- pecting her to visit them in Valdez during the Christmas holidays but her own business detained her untfl she boarded the plane that was to prove such a fateful journey. Fena Ekemo is survived by two sons, John and Bill, two daughters, Mrs. Pete Lovseth and Mrs. E. M. White, all of Valdez and a daughter Marguer- ite of San Francisco. Ernie Cruz had been a resident of the Valdez area for many vears. He had been steadily in the employ of Dayville Packing Company. Cruz had been in Cordova on a short trip and he, too, was returning home of Pan American Airways here. rlhm the tragedy occurred. purchased a mercantile establish- | PLANE IS IN CRASH, IS AFIRE Seven Passengers, Crew of Three Reported to Be Aboard at Time EDWALL, Wash, Jan. 16—{M— A Northwest Airlines plane crashed on an Eastern Washington farm today and a farm housewife said she “could see no sign of life.” A company spokesman at Seattle said there were believed to be 10 persons aboard, including a crew of three. “DOWN AND ON FIRE™ SPOKANE, Wash,, Jan. 16—(®— ‘The State Patrol said today it had learned a Northwest Airlines plane “is down and on fire” about 20 miles west of Spokane.
