PAGE EIGHT | H. S. STUDENTS RETURN FROM SE MUSIC FESTIVAL The 84 members of Juneau High School's choral and band groups returned Sunday by plane from Ketchikan after a successful ap- pearance at the Southeast Alaska Music Festival held there April 26, 27 and 28. Lyle Manson, band director and Miss Marjorie Iverson, director of the Juneau chorus, were enthusi- astic in their praise of the Juneau students’ performance. “The plane {lights, the associa- tion with students of other schools and singing and performing in mass groups made a distinct im- pression on our boys and girls,” Miss Iverson said. On Thursday, April 26, instrum- ental sclos and ensembles appeared at Elks hall at 2 pm. Juneau stu- dents participating were Joan Wil- liamson, Flute; Gary Hedges, trom- bone; Jack Hermle, clarinet; Doug- las Boyd, clarinet; Norman Lister, trumpet; Sylvia Davis, French horn; clarinet quartet composed of Jack Hermle, Douglas Boyd, Elton Eng- strom and Jack Willet and a brass sextet of: Norman Lister, Janet Schultz, Sylvia Davis, George Mes- serschmidt, Gary Hedges and Lee Nance. Walter C. Welke of the Un- iversity of Washington, was adju- dicator for this program. In the Eagles' hall at 8 p.m. with Wayne S. Hertz of the Central ‘Washington College of Education as adjudicator, the following Ju- neau high school students took part: Donna Jewett, and Adaline Barlow, sopranos; Bill Orme, tenor; Donna Mountjoy, piano; boy's quartet of John Harris, Ray Heg- stad, Don Morrison, Bud Schultz and girls’ quartet composed of Gladys Uggen, Donna Jewett, Nan. cy McDowell, Joan Molyneux, Ruth Bloomgquist and Heather Hollmann. Juneau high school's madrigal group, of sixteen boys’ and girls’ voices was outstanding on this evening program. They were: Don- na Jewett, Gladys Uggen, Adaline Barlow, Donna Mountjoy, Joan Williamson, Betty Lou Hukill, Mary SCHOOL“BOND ISSUE OVER BY BIG MAJORITY The additional wing to Juneau's school was assured by a big ma, ority with results of yesterday school bond election, In the, city, out of 472 ballots cast, 395 were affirmative and 77 against; in Auk Bay, with 32 ballots cast 21 were for and 11 againss, This means that a bond issue of $200,000 will be floated to giva new school, to be constructed at 2th and Glacier Way, a cafeteria, eachers’ room, office with vault to store school records, storage room, rifle range and added play jpace. It is estimated that the ad- iitional tobacco tax, passed by the last legislature, will take care of payments to retire the Lcnds. Of the original money raised for the school, $750,000, cost of the site, preparing the ground and archi- tect’s fees amounted to $150,000. The lowest bid on construction was $743,657, so an alternate bid of $578,294 was accepted, which ex- cluded the cafeteria wing At a meeting of the school board, the $200,000 bond election was decided upon in view of the fact that con- struction of the added wing’ would Le less expensive fo_baild' at the time the school cofistruction was being carried out and because of the higher tobacco tax, it would work no hardship on the taxpayers. One-half of the cost of the school was to have been forthcom- ing in Federal funds through the General Services' ' Administration, but due to Federal retrenchment, this was withdrawn. The voters, by ' overwhelming majority, gave ‘their approval :n yesterday's election, to the $200,000 additional bonds.

Albert C. Wedemeyer ad- vised President Truman nearly four ago that Korea was threaten- ed by a “Soviet-controlled invasion of North Korean forces.” This was disclosed today with re- lea: of the top-secret report on Korea that Wedemeyer submitted to Mr. Truman September 9, 1947. The report, with certain parts de- leted, was made public by the Senate Armed Services Committee in ad- vance of its inquiry into the firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Hearings on MacArthur’s dismis- sal from the Far Eastern commands are to begin Thursday. Wedemeyer advised against U. S. removal of its forces from Korea pointing out that the Russians dom- nated North Kg¢reans thretigh Com- munists. “There 15 considerable unrest in South Korea,” the report said, “but forces available to General Hodge are adequate to cops with it and to maintain order, though complete- 'y inadequate, even with maximum \ssistance from General MacArthur, to meet Soviet-controlled invasion of North Korean forces.” General John R. Hodge then was in command of T . S. forees occupy- ing South Kcrea, later withdrawn, and General MacArthur was in Japan as supreme commander in the Pacific. “A% United States withdrawal which permitted the Soviet Union to dominate Korea would result in a serious poiitical and psychological threat to China, including Man- churia, and Japan,” Wedemeyer said. ‘Wedemeyer's report was made be- fore China fell under the control of the Communists, He also made a report on China.
