CONCRESSIONAL IBRARY ASHINGTON, D. © '‘HE DAILY VOL. LXXVIIL, NO. 11,941 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1951 Egypfians And British (lash Again CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 18—(#—Brit- ish and Egyptian troops clashed yesterday along the Suez Canal and the British seized the only bridge crossing it. Two Egyptian soldiers were killed in the fighting. The Cairo newspaper Al Misri said that by seizing the bridge the Brit- Ish had cut the canal area off from the rest of Egypt. But the Arabic newspaper Al Xaman later said the British had withdrawn from the bridge—called El Ferdan—and that “gyptian troops had resumed guard duty in the area. Egyptian censors held up news of yesterday’s clash for 24 hours. It started about 2 a.m.,, according to the British version, and lasted 15 minutes. The Egyptian version % was that resistance continued into mid-morning. Today in Cairo, a shouting street mob of 2,000 demonstrated in front of Shepheard’s Hotel, displaying newspaper front pages carrying pic- tures of rioting at Ismailia and Port Said. The mob shouted anti- British and anti-western slogans. The pictures showed g funeral procession in Port Said Wednesday for five civilians killed there, show- "ed a dead Egyptian policeman ly- ing in the street at Ismailia and other scenes showing British troops in the streets. A British army spokesman said the Canal area was quiet again last night and today. It was the second successive day the British had fought with Egyp- tians. They opened fire Tuesday on rioters and looters at Ismailia, where the Egyptian government said seven were killed. The Brit- ish said they fired in self- de- fense. But today the British moved to ease tension at Ismailia, site of a British army sub-command. Egyp- tian officials said the Britons agreed to pull their troops out of the town of 50,000 and leave it in control of Egyptian police. ¥y The British, meanwhile, were due to complete today the transfer by air of 3,500 parachute troops from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus to the Canal area where 40,000 or ¢ more British soldicrs and airmen already were on the alert.

By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON—There are some interesting backstage reasons why Republican Senators are so insis- tent that Guy Gabrielson resign as chairman of the Republican Na- tional Committee. One is a comparison between the two RFC loans obtained by the two chairmen of the Republican and Democratic National Committee. Democratic Chairman Bill Boyle's loan for American Lithofold in St. Louis totaled $565,000—a relatively small amount. GOP Chairman Gabrielson’s loan for Carthage Hydrocol was for $18,- 500,0000—one of the bigger loans granted by the RFC. Gabrielson drew a salary and fees totaling $201,000 from Carthage Hydrocol during the period that he was either Republican National Committeeman from New Jersey or Republican National Chairman. He has been President of Carthage Hy- drocol since April 26, 1946, and did not resign after he became Na- tional Chairman. Boyle claimed he received a fee of only $1,250 from American Litho- ¢ fold, though upon becoming Demo- cratic Chairman he sold his legal (Continued on Page 4) & | feet, 26 (arried To Death in Plane (rash Airliner Hits Side of Mountain on Vancouver Island; Bodies Charred NANAIMO, E.C. Oct. 18—P—A Queen Charlotte Airlines plane, laboring futilely at full throttle to gain altitude, crashed into the side of a mountain 10 miles from here last night, carrying 23 persons to their death. The victims were 30 miles from their destination at Vancouver, B.C., nearing the end of a southbound 400 mile flight from Kemano, when the twin-engined craft hit the rocky side of 5000 foot Mount Benson. All those aboard except the three crew members were believed to be loggers and construction workers. Charred Bodies Found Owen Jones of Nanaimo, one of the first to reach the wreckage of the amphibious plane after a three- hour climb up the mountainside, said six charred bodies were found nearby. “The others must have burned up,” he said. “My God it was an awful mess.” Jones said what appeared to be the hands of a woman were sticking through a piece of fuselage, al- though there had been no report that a woman was aboard. A red sweater and a red slipper were nearby. cognize anyone,” Jones said. “All the bedies were intact but they were all charred.” Jones said the plane crashed about 100 feet below a bluff but there was another bluff beyond. “If the plane had climbed the other way it would have been over !the sea and safe,” he said. “The right wing was standing straightaip.in the air, and there was | one float but that was all that was in one piece.” Accident Witnessed The accident was witne: Keith Price, operator of a power statioy, near this city, which is 150 | miles northwest of Seattle. PST, when the plane circled his station at an altitude of about 50 veered west missed 130,000 volt power lines. Then, he related, the plane roared at full throttle toward the mountain in an apparent attempt to gain alti- tude, crashing into the rocks at the 2,000-foot level. Flames - Explosion A sheet of flame leaped up and a loud explosion was heard. That was all. Kemano, where the flight orig- inated, is the site of the Aluminum Company of Canada development in Northern British Columbia. Na- naimo is 30 miles west of Vancouver, across Georgia Strait, and the plane apparently was off course on its regularly scheduled run. The crew members were identi- fied as Doug McQueen, the pilot, Jaginder S. John, first officer, and Ray Williams, crewman. . The airline withheld names of the passengers until relatives are noti- fied. 8 Candidales Pass Bar Exam Eight candidates will be admitted as members of the Alaska Bar as a result of the legal examinations which concluded here yesterday. { Mrs. Gladys Stabler, wife of City Attorney Howard Stabler, will be the only woman admitted this year.

Waterfront Tie-up Looms on Two Coasts NEW YORK, Oct. 18—(P—Wildcat dock strikers tightened their grip on New York City piers today, as rumbling of possible violence spread along the waterfronts here and on the west coast. Apparently beyond control of AFL longshore leaders, the strike leap- irogged to more docks in Brooklyn, and virtually numbed the entire Hudson river waterfront on Man- hattan's west side. Vital defense and commercial shipping alike were severely crip- pled. At Brooklyn’s big Port of Em- barkation, one of the nation’s ma- jor shipping centers for military supplies and troops, nearly 1,000 stevedores gathered on the streets outside, but ignored “shapeup™ whistles, It was the fourth straight day of the union-opposed strike, sparked by unrest over a newly ratified con- tract. As an aftermath to yesterday's episode when strikebreakers led by underworld figure Anthony Anas- tasquia temporarily sent army base stevedores back to work, the army today banned any repetition. Only four piers were reported working in Brooklyn. In San Francisco, a smolder- ing labor dispute threatened that key city’s waterfront with its big- gest battle since the bloody deck strike of 1934, The west coast trouble stacked up largely as a struggle between New York’s Joseph P. Ryan, presi- dent of the AFL International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), and the west coast’s Harry Bridges, President of §he International and Warehouse- Ryan announced here that he was opening a drive to wrest control of the Pacific Coast stevedores from Bridges, his bitter left-wing rival.

The dispute was between Local , International Longshoremen and Warehousemen'’s Union (Ind) and Northern Stevedoring and Cargo, much of it materials for defense projects, was being unloaded from the Square Sinnett, Alaska Steamship Co. vessel. Two other ships, operated by the same line, the John H. Quick and the Susitna, were moved yesterday to Whittier. ‘Two other ships, the Victoria and the Coastal Rambler, will now go into Seward to unload, an official of the steamship company said. It was not learned here under what conditions the men returned to work. The union had charged the stevedoring company with hiring men in violation of the contract. ‘The union’s international had urged the men to return to work and settle the dispute under machinery of the contract. Whooping Cough Epidemic Strikes Isolated Village - A distress call from the small Kodiak Island village at Old Harbor stating that 75 people had whoop- ing cough and two had died, took the Coast Guard plane based at Kodiak out on a mercy call yester- day. A doctor from the Kodiak Naval Air Station was flown to Old Har- bor 50 miles southwest of Kodiak. A baby, Lucy Christensen, was brought back to the Kodiak hospital for further care.

The President said he couldn't | answer that question now. He said | he had made up his mind what he is going to do but he proposed to pick the time of his announce- ment. Asked whether he would like to| | see Chief Justice Vinson run if he | does not make the race himself, | the President said he would answer | that question when he made his an- | ncuncement. Another newsman asked what he thought of Taft’s pronouncements as to what would be the three big issues of the Presidential campaign. With a grin, Mr. Truman replied that he (the President) is against sin, too. 3 Taft's Platform Taft had said he hoped to be elected on a platform pledging: 1. Restoration of progress “within the principles of liberty rather than the principles of socialism.” 2. Restoration of “honesty and integrity” .in government with an end to “corruption” and “influence ! peddling.” 3. A restudy of U.S. foreign policy to halt the spread of Communism; establishment of Korea as a free| country, and completion of the | arming of Western Europe to en- able it to defend itself.

Some 30 persons were left home- less by the fire in a two-story unit of the Fairview Manor apartment house project occupied mostly by miiltary men and their families. One woman was injured. Mrs. Ray Christian, about 50, was treat- ed for shock after firemen rescued her from a smoke-filled room. Firemen said a woman identi- fied as a Mrs. Hall tied a three- week-old baby in a sheet and lowered the infant to the ground. Two more children, aged 3 and 5, followed by the same route, then the woman slid down the sheet herself. One Air Forte officer, Capt.

Firemen said another Ladd Air Force officer, Capt. Delbert Smyth, saved two children by dropping them from a second-floor window into the arms of a Catholic priest.

It calls for slightly smaller boosts in indi- vidual income taxes than the mea- sure rejected by the House on Tues- day. That change and several other minor adjustments cut the estimated yield $41,000,000 below the original agreement. However, the two bills are practically the same in most details. The Senate will vote first on the new bill and action is possible late today. If the Senate approves it, the bill will then go to the House. Passage by both chambers would clear the way for probable adjourn- ment of this session of Congress on Saturday. . Rep. Simpson (R-Pa) of the House conferees, told reporters the revised bill is “sure” to pick up a number of Republican votes in the House, A combination of votes from Re- publicans and northern Democrats defeated the earlier bill in the House. A joint Senate-House committee settled on the terms of the new measure in a two-hour meeting. The bill calls for an increase of 11 percent in the tax on the first $2,000 of surtax net income, rather than 11'¢ percent as pro- vided in the original compromise. ‘The change shaves from 20 cents to $2 off the proposed tax increase on single persons. It affects all brackets, since every- one pays the first surtax rate. Net loss from the individual in- come tax revision was estimated at $68,000,000. 12 Arrested for Fraud in Program 0f 6l Education WARBUTON, Tl 1 -AT-ATHR FBI today announced the arrest of 22 persons on charges of fraud against the government in connec- tion with the GI educational pro- gram, Fourteen arrests were made in | Miami, Fla., two in Detroit, one in | Dayton, O., two in New York City and three in the Newark, N. J., area. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover identified those arrested as em- ployees, officials, and owners of five vocational schools, including the Berlitz School of Languages of America, Inc., at Miami. Hoover said the alleged frauds total more than $350,000. In the past 10 months, he added, FBI investigations have resulted in the arrest of more than 300 persons chargéd with veterans school frauds totaling close to $1,- 000,000, Russ Warplanes Drop Bombs on British Vessel By Associated Press Russian warplanes are said to have made an unprovoked bombing attack against a British merchant vessel last September 14th near the Soviet Port of Archangel. The captain of the 3,500-ton Berylstone, Leslie Gow, says the Russians dropped thrge bombs, but none of them hit. Gow disclosed the attack when his vessel docked today at Belfast, northern Ireland on the return trip from Archangel. He and members of the crew were interviewed by British intelligence agents. The Ad- miralty and the British Foreign Office in London declined immed- late comment on Gow's statements. ‘The captain’s account suggested the possibility the Russian war- planes may have failed to identify the approaching British vessel and tried to warn her away from the Russian port. Delegate Flies To Anchorage Delegate and Mrs. Bob Bartlett returned from Haines yesterday morning on the Alaska Coastal plane and departed for Anchorage on the afternoon flight of the Pa- cific Northern Airlines. Delegate Bartlett will return to Juneau on November 8 when hearings will be held on Indian land claims.

Susan is houseguest of Mr., and Mrs. John Dimond. the | Federal Pay Boost Agreed, Conferees WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 — # — Senate-House conferees agreed to- day on a bill hiking postal rates by about $117,000,000 a year. They took the House version and thus threw out the Senate measure which would have boosted first class letter stamps from three to four cents and increased airmail from six to eight cents. The compromise bill leaves the three cent stamp and airmail rate unchanged but dooms the penny postal card. The charge for it will be doubled. The conferees also agreed on a pay raise for about 1,500,000 federal employees which will cost more than $400,000,000 a year. The workers will get a 10 per- cent boost except that individual increase will not be less than $300 nor more than $800. Previously the conferees had agreed on a $250,000,000 annual pay increase for the 500,000 postal workers. & The three bills are tied together; there was an informal agreement not to bring one to final passage without the other two. The com- promise measures will be called up for a vote in'the House first.

The demand was approved by 'voice vote. J. Joseph ‘“Jiggs” Donohue, dis- irict commissioner of Washington, D.

The subcommittee acted shortly; vote on the other nine go now to the full Foreign Relations commit- tee. With adjournment of Congress expected this week or next week there is a possibility all 10 of the rominations may not come up for Senate action. If there is no Senate action be- fore Congress quits, it would leave the way open for Mr. Truman to give recess appointments to the same 10. Weather Station Plans ‘Postponed’ For Arctic lce SEATTLE, Oct. 18—(®—Air Force plans for a seven-man weather station on a drifting ice island in the Arctic have been “indefinitely postponed,” the Post-Intelligencer said today it had been advised by the Alaska Air Command. There was no explanation in the terse announcement. The ice islands are reported to be from 60 to 200 feet thick, much thicker than the rest of the polar pack. A previous attempt to establish a weather station on the ice was ab- andoned last March when six air- men were evacuated when the is- land began to break up during a storm. The newspaper also said the Air Force reported it has ‘“tracked” a huge, drifting island across the Arctic for five years. The island, known as “target one,” was first sighted about 400 miles north of Point Barrow. It now is reported nearing Greenland’s northern tip. It was described as about 10 miles { by 15 miles and irregular in shape. FROM TEXAS | Celita M. Cales, of El Paso, Texas, is registered at the Baranof Hotel. The resolution said in part: “We demand the immediate re- moval of the present corps of lead- ers whose every action has reflect- ed incompetency, indecision and de- featism.” The resolution named no names, but left no doubt the Legion was referring not only to Secretary of State Acheson but also his top lleutenants. o A minority of the Legion Foreign Relations committee—from Color- 1do, Kentucky and the District of Columbia—tried to substitute a minority report which, would have struck out all criticism of the State Department, .

MacArthur Charges On Formosa Point Denied by Truman WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 — B — President Truman said today Gen. Douglas MacArthur's charge that his opposition “wrecked the secret plan” to let Formosa fall to the Chinese Reds was not based on fact and the general knew it. Mr. Truman's comment was in reply to questions at his news con- ference. MacArthur made his assertion in a speech to the American Legion convention in Miami yesterday. The general said, too, that the plan also would have given Red China a seat in the United Nations. When reporters brought up the matter, Mr. Truman said brusquely hat MacArthur's assertion was not based on fact and the general knew it. M-K Low Bidder On APW Project in Kefchikan Morrison-Knudsen Cofnpany of Seattle are low bidders for the Alaska Public Works project at Ketchikan to make street improve- ments and to install drainage fa- cilities on Third Avenue in New Town.
