LEADER HAS QUITPOST LONDON, April 24, —(»— Prime Minister Attlee’s forces and rebel- Jious laborite left wingers made a deal today aimed at keeping the labor government in power as long as possible and preventing a gen- eral election at this time. The deal, with koth sides making concessions, came after a third government leader, John Freeman, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minster of Supply, resigned in pro- test over the government’s arms budget. He quit for broadly the same reasons as Labor Minister Aneurin Bevan and Board of Trade President Harold Wilson; Britain's financing of her rearmament at the expense of the national free medi- cine scheme. The labor government announced the appointment of Alfred Robens to Bevan's labor ministry post, and of Sir Hartley Shawcross as presi- dent of the Board of Trade. The labor members of pariiamem' held a stormy two-hour secret em- ergency meeting. It resulted in a deal in which the rebels, headed by Bevan and Wilson, pledged them- selves to put party unity in the House of Commons above the policy split. Observers said it seemed likely Attlee now could hold his slim mar- 2in of power in the House against the conservative-liberal assault, at least until autumn.

Mitchell, ad- ministrative assistant at the Forest Grove fire district headquarters, said the scorched area was “pushing 3,000 acres” and might be as high as 3,500 as spot fires merged with the main blaze. Hazard was high throughout the northwest, in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Hundreds of acres on Vedder mountain, 60 miles east of Vancouver, were burning im the Canadian province's biggest blaze. Assistant Warden Bill Christensen first reported the Tillamook blaze, on Schetky logging company oper= ations, shortly after 4 p.m. yester- day. At that time it covered four acres. By early evening it had cov- ered 600 acres and by midnight it had spread to 1,000. Located about 14 miles east and a little south of Tillamook, the front of the westward-moving fire was only some three miles from the western edge of the great Tillamook burn — the 270,000-acre area burned and re-burned in 1933, 1939 and 1945. Between 250 and 300 men were on the firelines today. NEW ASST. MGR.

Nearly 100 couples danced (and waited turns to dance) at the sec- and annual Spring Break-Up, Gas- tineau Channel’s square dance fes- tival, which was held in the Doug- las gym last Saturday night. Lively music by Jim Gregg's or- chestra accompanied the fast-mov- ing, gaily-dressed dancers in six- teen square dance sets, six round dances, and the grand march. At intermission time, both the balcony crowd and the dancers were delighted by the performance of the Douglas majorette drill team. Coached by Mr. Zawalnicki, the eight-girl team had perfected a snappy, uninterrupted, ten-minute routine of marching and baton- twirling for the entertainment of the crowd. Since the Spring Break-(fp was held a month earlier this year than last, it is the intention of each of l | the four participating clubs to con- tinue meeting on its customary night until plans for summer or- ganization are announced. 4-H’ERS MEET The Upper-Crust 4-H Club met recently at the home of Carol Lawrence. We worked on our paj- amas. We had Miss H. Price, Uni- versity of Alaska exiension agent, for our guest who introduced our next 4-H leader, Mrs. Smith.

Charles Gates (Hell 'n Maria) Dawes, banker and statesman who won fame in many fields during his cyclonic career, died suddenly last night. The 85-year-old former vice presi- dent, who served under President Coolidge from 1925-29, died of coro- nary thrombosis in his suburban Evanston home. He was stricken while talking to his wife. Dawes, who was in public life for more than 30 years and often was the center of fierce controversies and momentous events, had not been ailing, a family spokesman said. However, he said, Dawes, who was chairman of the Bourd of the City National Bank and Trust Com- any, did not go to his office yes- erday. Dawes had been named as honor- ary chairman of the committee to greet Gen. MacArthur on his Chi- cago visit Thursday and presum- ably planned to attend the cele- bration. Success came to Dawes in bank- ing and utilities. And he was prominent in public life — as vice president, as ambassador to Great Britain, as co-creator of the “Dawes Plan,” and as the director of the governments $2,000,000,000 Recon- struction Finance Corporation. He also won fame as an author and composer. In the last decade Dawes kept pretty much out of the public spot- light. DR. T. OBERMAN TELLS 'BPW MEMBERS 'HOW 10 BE DELIRIOUSLY HAPPY jers of the Business and Professional Women’s Club learned “How to Be Deliriously Happy” onday when they heard the ad- dress of Dr, Ted Oberman—an ad- dress already famous among the men's clubs in town—and no doubt will find their way to a “richer, fuller, happier life” through his guidance. His address was fun and its “straight” delivery had club mem- bers who had not known of his talent, wondering whether he really might have been a priest- of the “Temple of Joy” in Los Angeles before he came to Juneau, as he claimed. The BPW program was arranged by club vice presidents Opal Shar- man and Edith Moore. President Lucile Stine presided over the meeting and announced a board meeting Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Dor- othy Clem. Vera Knickerbocker re- ported on the Alaska Crippled Children Association meeting held last week. Guests were Mrs. Paul Jackson, who was the guest of her friend Mrs. Bertha Ellingen and Mrs. Lilllan Cash whose hostess was Lucile Johnson.

Douglas MacArthur and related foreign policies will begin on May 3. Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the Senate Armed Services Committee announced the date today and said it is his plan to hear MacArthur at a closed-door session. But there will be an open or public hearing “if the general expresses a desire,” Russell added. Senate leaders — both Democratic and Republican—urged public hear- ings “as far as possible.” Senator McFarland of Arizona, the Democratic leader, told report- ers he favors making public all ex- cept vital sécurity information. “We will gain more toward achiev- ing national unity than we will lose by having the enemy find out some confidential information,” McFar- land sald. Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Com- mittee, agreed. In other developments: 1. The White House said a state- ment of President Truman'’s reaspns for firing MacArthur was sent to MacArthur’s command in Tokyo. Presidential Press Secretary Joseph Short made that éomment When asked about a statement by a Mac- Arthur aide that the general does not know why President Truman stripped him of hiy commands. 2. Democrats continued in the Senate what apparently is a planned series of speeches in the battle of public opinion over MacArthur’s dis- missal. Senator Lehman (D-Lib-NY) told the Senate MacArthur sought to: involve the country in a “big war to bring a speedy end to & small one.” Senator McMahon (D-Conn) said the nation’s capitol may be “blown to smithereens next week” by atomic bombs if the United States pursues a wrong policy in the Far East. And the chairman of the Joint Atomic Energy Committee said em- phatically in a prepared statement he thinks Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s policy is wrong. McMahon launched the latest at- tack on MacArthur's proposed strat- egy for fighting the Korean war— the strategy that, publicly .stated, got him fired. GLACIER BAY HERE CHANGING TO HALIBUT GEAR, UNLOADS (0D Though he left Juneau “codding” in Pebruary, weather was so tough that there were only two part days of fishing until April 11, said Ken Junge, in town with the Glacier Bay, L. O. Jacobsen’s boat of which Junge is captain. The five-man crew of the Glacier Bay had about the worst weather any of them had experienced, Junge said. In Juneau now, the vessel is changing over to halibut gear and will go west for the season that opens May 1. The Glacier Bay brought in a catch of 28,000 pounds.

NEW YORK, April 24 —(®— An adviser to Gen. Douglas MacArthur said today that Lieut, Gen. Mat- thew Ridgway had proposed to the Pentagon that Chinese troops on Formosa he sent into battle. Ridgway succeeded MacArthur in his Far East commands when the latter was deposed by President Truman for expressing views con- trary to administration policy con- cerning Korea. Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney, per- sonal adviser to the ousted general told reporters Ridgway made the proposal “after analyzing the situa- tion” — apparently soon after his arrival in Korea and while Mac- Arthur still was in supreme com- mand. Whitney said all senior officers in the Far East, including “Lieut. Gen. (George E.) Stratemeyer, air commander, and (Vice) Admiral (Charles Turner) Joy, in charge of naval operations,” also favored the Mr. Worgum is with the U. S.‘ use of Chiang Kal Shek’s troops. Whitney said Ridgway “sent ¢ very strong message to the Penta- gon through Gen. MacArthur, ad- vocating use of , those troops to strengthen our military position.” MacArthur has estimated their number at about 600,000 Whitney said that, so far as he knew, none of the military leader: on the scene had changed their opinions in the meantime, MacArthur, spending the day quietly in the Waldorf Astoria hotel expected to review New York's Loy- alty Parade Saturday afternoon. THIRD GRADERS PUT ON SHOW FOR ROTARY With all the poise of troupers, 26 of Miss Alberta “Pat” Murphy's Third Graders entertained with an enthusiastically received song and dance program at a regular meet- ng of the Juneau Rotary Club at the Baranof Hotel Tuesday noon. An extra audience in the lobby crowded around the open doors of the Gold Room to share the show. Various members of the class an- nounced the numbers. The program opened with a chorus selection ‘Spring is Here.” This was followed by two harmonica numbers, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and ‘Ruken and Rachel.” Tommy Blan- on accompanied a third harmonic selection on his accordion and fol- iowed with an accordion solo, ‘Butterfly Waltz.” | Pantomine action was used dur- ing the singing of “Peter Cotton- :all,” “Chuck Waltz King,” “The Thing,” “Orchestra Song” and ‘Buffalo Billy”. The final number was an In- dian Brave dance. The children were dressed in colorful costumes and Indian head dresses which they themselves had made for the occasion. Tom Morgan was program chair- man. New officers to take office July 1 were announced: Neil Fritchman, president; Eric Newbould, vice- president; Dr. I. J. Montgomery, secretary-treasurer; and Henry Harmon, sergeant-at-arms. Visiting Rotarians were C. M. Archbold, Ketchikan; T. 8. Bat- chelder, Fairbanks; Johnston, Washington, D. C.

Both gave their residence as Juneau. FROM ELMENDORF Lt. Col. H. H. Palmer, Jr., of El- | mendorf Field, is registered at the and Larry | PRICE TEN CENTS shing Red Weight REDS ARE STRIKING SAVAGELY Cenfer ofWO-Mile Line Crumbles Before Fury of New Offensive By Associated Press Nearly cne-half million battle« tested Reds smashed a hole in the center of the United Nations line today in their third invasion of South Korea, Communist troops streamed thru the gap and bent back the right flank of the Allied line. They were striking savagely with the alm of breaking up the inter- national Eighth Army into piece- meal units. South Korean units manning the center of the 100-mile line crumbled before the fury of the Red spring offensive. Their retreat exposed other Allied divisions. Situation Serious Frontline officers considered the situation serious, But headquarters commanders were confident the re- juvenated Allied forces could stem she offensive. Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the grenade-packing paratrooper who shored up the morale of Allied forces before he succeeded General MacArthur *as supreme commander, visited the front. Ridgway said the great battle “well may prove decisive." He called it the greatest Red offensive yet launched, but warned that the Allies probably have not yet met its full Strike With Strength On the Eastern flank Red Kor- *ans overran Inje. They struck with surprising strength. Defense of the town, four miles north of the border, collapsed. South Koreans gave way before 1 similar Chinese assault in the center. The Korean retreat exposed the flanks of other UN units. Reds Ram Wedge Reds rammed through, deepening their wedge south of the 38th Par- allel. Censorship withheld the pre- cise distance, Earlier in the day the Chinese had pushed four miles into South Korea. And they were still oressing forward over the dusty hills on foot and by horsebask. Ridgway’s Views Ridgway declared: “It appears to me at this time that this attack is another major effort by our Communist enemy to drive UN forces from Korea, or to destroy them, regardless of the fur- ther destruction of his own troops.” An Eighth Army spokesman said Red casualties were 10 times those of UN forces. On the Eastern front, an officer sald Red losses there were 20 times those of the Allies. UN Confidence Field commanders described the situation on the Central front as critical. But Ridgway said, “I have complete confidence.” Korea officials were not so con- fident. Great columns of refugees clogged the highways south of the Central and Western front. People Dispirited AP Correspondent Jim Becker on the Central front said the “tired, dispirited people” didn’t even raise their heads to see what was hap- pening along the roads they plod- ded. Twice before they had fled along the same routes from the Communist advance—always in de- creasing numbers, They walked down roads threat- ened by a-great Red pincer move- ment.
