The star’s film, which arrives at the Capitol Theatre today, is titled “Harriet Craig.” Co-starring Wen- dell Corey, “Harriet Craig” is based on the famous Pulitzer Prize win- ning play, “Craig's Wife,” by George Kelly. The film is certain to be rated one of the five best pictures of the year. Essentially the emotionally- charged examination of the com- plex relations between a woman and her husband, “Harriet Craig’ 'merges as a magnificently con- seived motion picture. Under Vin- cent Sherman’s able direction, Miss Crawford dominates the screen in a glittering performance that wel rank as the peak achievement of her career. Complete School Survey In Inferior And Westward After completing work in the In- terior and Westward on a Federal school survey program, Herbert Hillerman, director, A. N. Eide and Robert Isaac, assistants, re- turned to Juneau last week. Purpese of the survey 'is to t.t®e inventory of present school facil- ities, buildings and equipment and to establish the present and expected pupil load of the Terri- torial schools. It is part of a national pro- gram being carried out in the |states and Territories to analyze a community’s ability to pay for its school’s maintenance or new construction and to establish what amounts might be -needed from the federal government for up- keep of schools. The Alaska survey is working |under the supervision of the Ter- ritorfal - Department of Education but completed reports of the school situation in Alaska will be for- warded to the U. S. Congress for its consideration. Hillerman, Isaac and Eide vis- \lited Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome {and smaller towns such as Una- |laska, villages on the Kuskokwim, Fort Yukon, Eagle and coast towns to the Westward. Southeast Alaska will be cov- ered within the next month.

ADVANCE HEADQUAR- TERS, KOREA, Aug. 1 — ® — A south Korean government spokes- Iman said today United Nations forces should be kept in Korea for at least one year. The spokesman, Dr. Clarence Ryee, called for the immediate withdrawal of Chinese Commun- ist forces and the disarmament of the North Korean army. Ryee, director of public infor- mation for the South Korean gov- ernment, told newsmen: “We don’t want the United Na- tions forces to evacuate until the security of the Republic of Ko- rea is established, But we want the €hinese army to go. ‘They have no business here. Ryee said the South Koreans could “defend ourselves if we had artillery and planes.” “We have the fighting spirit,” he added Ryee said about 250,000 men are available as troops but half are untrained and the other half had basic training of only one month. The spokesman disclosed that President Syngman Rhee had con- ferred four or five times with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway since the Kaesong cease-fire talks started July 10. Alaska Included in New Judgeships WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 —®— Legislation to create 18 new fed- eral district judgeships was ap- proved today by the Senate Ju- diciary Committee. The bill, by chairman McCar- ran (D-Nev) provides that 15 of the judgeships be made perman- ent and three temporary. The perman2nt Jjudgeships would include Alaska. $3,500 Shared On Lake George Break-up Program Alaska Crippled Children’s Associ- }ation and Mrs. Merle Simpson of Anchorage will share about $3,500 as a result of the McKinley Founda- tion’s Lake George break-up pro- gram. Famous self-dumping Lake ]George broke its icy barrier on July ll«t at 4:59:02 a.m,, earliest break-up ever recorded. Hundreds of visitors watched the action of the flooding waters from the Knik Bridge on the Anchorage- Palmer highway, 20 miles down- stream from Knik Glacier. McKinley Foundation, a mnon- profit corporation was esta lished to operate two programs each year for the benefit of the Alaska Crip- pled Children’s Association. The officers of the Foundation are Don Knudsen and Mrs. Marshall Hop- pin of Anchorage, and Mrs. John McCormick, ACCA president on Gastineau Channel, represents the Foundation in this area. | WASSERMAN LEAVING FOR ANCHORAGE After spending several days in Ju- is especially noticable at Deer Is- | neau on business for the Bureau of land, near Sand Poinc on which | Land Management, for which he is one of the area’s best pink salmon | chief counsel, Jacob Wasserman is streams is located. leaving for Anchorage tomorrow.

Acheson told a news conference the Reds wish to go back to a line over which they launched an un- provoked attack—to start the Ko- rean war—and he said that is not acceptable. He added that Secrefary of De- fense Marshall has made it en- tirely clear that any demarcation line must be a defensible line. Events have shown, Acheson said, that this is not true of the 38th parallel. He declared that the talks now under way at Kaesong are essen- tially military talks, but that the Communists have been trying to use them for a political purpose. By this he apparently meant that instead of being willing to stop the fighting where the armies now are and where both sides weuld have strong defense posi- tions, the Reds have tried to get all of North Korea again in Com- munist control while leaving the South to the Allied forces. This would be a return to the situation which existed before the Communist assault last summer. At the. moment, Acheson said, truce talks seem to be stalled. The negotiators have had several fruit- less meetings. Acheson also said that Gen. Mat- thew B. Ridgeway and his delega- tion to the Kaesong meetings have handled their share of the negotia- tions forcefully and soundly. FROM SEATTLE - Phillip D.

Schaefer of Ger- eral Electric Company. In this method, particles or pel- lets of dry ice are sprayed into a cloud formation from an airplane. The moisture in the cloud is pre- cipitated almost at once and falls over a limited area as rain, or some- times as snow or hail. Users of the dry ice method have had trouble in accurately aiming their deluges and the rain they produce frequently misses the farm- lands where it is wanted and falls on picnic grounds or baseball diam- onds where it is unwelcome. Down in New Mexico a road builder is reported te have lost $50,000 on cer- tain contracts as a result of rain- making experiments thereabout. ‘The defects of this method may be cured in time by some sort of scientific instrument combining moisture measurement with a bomb sight The Silver Iodide treatment of clouds, discovered by another Gen- eral Electric scientist, Dr. Bernard Vonnegut, has a much more wide- spread effect than the dry ice treat- ment. ‘While nobody knows for sure just how far the results may reach, it has been pretty well established that dosing a cloud with a little siver iodide may affect weather over thousands .md even millions of living | ! square miles. The silver iodide may be sprayed into the clouds from a plane, or un- der certain conditions, from a mach- ine on the ground. The process is known as seeding. Dr. Irving Langmuir, the famous American scientist who was instru- mental in getting General Electric interest in rain making, started ex- perimenting with silver jodide at Socorro, New Mexico, in 1949, Heavy Rains began to fall in the Mississippi Valley soon after Dr. Langmuir started dectoring the clouds. When he cut down the seed- ing, the rains lessened. Then he started seeding on only two consecutive days each week, the same days each week. Results were, to say the least, spectacular, For as long as he continued that pattern, Buffalo, N. Y., received 14 times as much rain on Tuesdays as on Saturdays and Wilkes Barre, Pa., got 42 ‘times as much rain on Tuesdays as on Saturdays. Ratios like those were reported from cities in an area of about a million square miles. Other exper- iments showed similar results. The odds against such things happen- ing by chance, Dr. Langmuir cal- culated, were around two million to one. Some People were pleased with Dr. Langmuir’s experiments and many people were not. Enthusiastic farmers in some places claim their lands have doubled in value as a result of man-made rain; other farmers in other place complain either that their lands have been | robbed of natural rain rightfully theirs or that they have been de- luged with an over supply of wat- er, Back in Illinois and Indiana a good many farmers who have suf- fered damages from floods during the past four or five years blame the floods on the rain makers in New Mexico and their tampering with the weather although many of i the floods happened before the sorcery ever got started. And what the people in Topeka and the two Kansas cities are say- ing these days about rain makers in general and New Mexico rain Pioneer Fishing Vessel Captain Dies in Seattle SEATTLE, Aug. 1, —(®— Capt. Egill Eriksen, 71, a fishing vessel captain on Pacific coast waters 50 years, died Saturday. He was born in Norway and |served with the International Fisheries Commission when he ’HN came to this country. He op- erated his own fishing vessel many years prior to his retire- ment five years ago. ¥ R()\I BlTTLFN of Bettles on River, is stopping Juneau Juan R. Aberta, the Koyukuk at the Hotel makers in particular will be likely have to be edited before publica- tion, Up Here In Alaska, so far as is known, there have been no exper- iments in rain making. But in much of the Interior the placer min- ers as well as the farmers could frequently use more water than they normally receive during the summer months, A little extra rain now and then, judiciously laid down, would benefit both farmers and miners, help keep down the dust and curtail forest fires. The dry ice method may well be used to help in dropping water in certain areas, but ih view of what has happened elsewhere, Al- aska clouds should be doctored with silver lodide only after a great deal of prayer, meditation, crossing of fingers and scientific. study of the; subject. Rain Making as a science, art or business, has come to the attention of Congress, along with the sug- gestion that the rain makers ought to be placed under some sort of control. Perhaps they should be, but it bothers us a little that foremost among the departments putting in a bid for the control authority is Alaska’s ancient paternal guard- ian, the Department of the In- terior. We are not prepared at this time to state categorically that such control should not be vested in the Department of the Inter- jor. But Alaskans have been sup- pliants to that department for far too long. We prefer to postpone thinking about that morning, perhaps not too distant, when an Alaska far- mer or miner, needing a little water for his crops or his sluice box, will have to put in a call to Secretary Chapman - at Wash- ington: “Please, Oscar, could you let us have a little shower.of {rain this afternoon?” ENDS TONIGHT ow Starts 7:19—9:30 BIG w ROMANCE, THRILLS and LAUGHS | sy T Margaret 0'BRIEN Robert PRESTON Danny THOMAS George MURPHY Betty GARRETT Thurs.-Fri.
