MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The plan for the Goodwill trip into Canada was outlined at the last C of C meeting by Chairman Joe McLean. A similar trip last year when a Juneau Chamber of Commerce sign was put up on the highway at Haines Junction was a real good will tour. The Chamber members met with the people of Haines and there were more meetings at Whitehorse and in Skagway. It was a working tour, and problems »of mutual interest were discussed in the towns visited. That didn’t keep some of the tour members from taking time off for fishing . . . and fishing will be on the program again this year. Mr. McLean and his committee have done a lot of work on plans for the trip this June and Juneau Chamber of Commerce members and others who are u, Alasks .

We seldom disagree with Sid Charles and the Ketchikan News . . . But, he could be wrong about a falling out be- tween (Gov. Gruening and Delegate Bob Bartlett. Maybe -the Anchorage Times istputting: forward Gunnard Engebreth as Republican candidate for dele- gaté to prevent John Butrovich of Fanbmks from running for that office. Whatever the strategy of the Anchorage Times | in announcing that friends of Senator Engebreth were supporting him for Republican nomination for Dele- gate to Congress, one can be sure that it was done | with the approval of Gov. Gruening. Bossibly the | Governor is backing the candidacy of Semator Enge- breth as a candidate whom Delegate Bagtlett would be more certain to defeat than he would Senator Butrovich. We have seen no evidence of any falling out Gruening. 1951 1 ‘hamber of Com- receiving visitors then put up a u, Alaska.

MacArthur com- pletely dominated the conversation. | What They Said Because the Wake Island confer-| ence now appears to be playing| such an important part in the| Truman-MacArthur controversy, | the salient portions of my Jan. 23 Wake Island column follow: | The President of the United States flew halfway round the world to confer with General Mac- | Arhur, yet aside from a few con- versational pleasantries reported by accompanying newsmen, nothing; has been published regarding what happened on this mid-Pacific Is-| land. The direct talks between MacAr- thur and President Truman took place with no one else present; ne. stenographic notes were taken. It is next to impossible, therefore, to report accurately what happened. Furthermore, the stenographic | notes made of the more extended | conversations between Truman, MacArthur, General Bradley, and| the® other military men are still s0 secret that each copy is num- bered. However, 1 believe it is import- ant that the American people know | what took place at Wake Island; so herewith I shall report some of the conversations recorded in these | notes. Only one clue was given in the more extended conversation as to| what Truman and MacArthur talk-| ed about in their private meeting. This was when someone asked the| President about Formosa, and he| cut further discussion short with the curt reply: “General MacArthur and I have discussed Formosa already and we are in complete agreement on the subject.” The trend of discussion in the rest of the conference was that a military victory was already in | asked: |is not likely that they could cause | against keeping American troops in | Korea. |of Korea was: | early in 1951.” 1 hoped MacArthur SEALED BIDS will be received 8th Army back in Japan by Chrial-‘ by the City Clerk of the Town oi mas.

Said building is lo- cated on Lot 6, Block 5 Haines Townsite, S. Survey No. 1179 and included in this parcel’for sale is the adjoining Lot 7, Block 5, Haines voy into Pyongyang immediately.” At this point, President Truman “What about Chinese inter- vention?” MacArthur’s reply was: “They could have intervened earlier when it would have been decisive, but) that time has passed. We are no longer fearful of their intervention. Although there are several hundred ; thousand along the Yalu River, it us much trouble.” He also implied that he could{Townsite, U. S.

The Town of Haines, through its Common Council, reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality in the bids received. At the same time MacArthur des- cribed his plans for completing the | conquest of Korea, he also argued Obviously this raised the ques- tion of why march across the frozen North Korean wastes to the Yalu River if the plan was to march right back again in time to return the 8th Army to Japan by Christmas. However, no one at the Wake Island conierence seemed to | challenge MacArthur regarding this risky move.

When a person with whom one is talking mispronounces a word, would a tactful correction be in order — such as using the same word a minute later and pronouncing. it correctly? ] A. This would be anything but a “tactful correction.” Unless the person with whom you are talking is very stupid, it would be obvious to him that you are making a show of your knowledge. It is much better to ignore any grammatical slips. Q. Are club sandwiches supposed always to be eaten with the knife and fork? A. Yes. It is impossible to pick this type of sandwich up with the fingers and bite into it without being messy. Q. Is it proper to send typewritten letters of condolence? A. No; letters of condolence should be written by hand. They are o {more personal ,and express more sympathy. ” s e LOOK and LfipRN o C.

It goes against the grain to have to destroy them.” Home by Christmas MacArthur assured Truman that | he could “finish the job in North Korea” in a short time. According gl el | .
