An estimated 1,200 persons crowd- ed into the building to watch the Skagway group stage two of its un- usual shows, to dance and drink, to “gamble” with stage money, and to watch the judging of the beards and costumes. One Elk said, “and we might have got more people in here except those bushy beards and bumpy bust- les take so much room.” But all of the costumes weren't the decorous kind, and some of the dance hall girls dresses had been cut down to “see” level. It was a gay, swirling night for the big annual celebration and the roaring days of the gold rush must have come into sharp focus in the minds of some of the oldtimers.

By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON—Here is the in- side story on the Korean truce talks, General Ridgway has cabled a strong recommendation to the Pent- agon that we keep the military pressure on the Communists until all the terms of the Armistice are settled. Otherwise, he warns that the Chinese will stall over such mat- ters as inspection teams and ex- changing prisoners. Ridgway also claimed that his forces can hurry the final armistice —provided they remain free to twist the Communists’ arm. On the other hand, he argues that after a truce his men won't feel like fighting for ground that they know is going to be given back anyway. Ridgway's gamble is that his tactics won't cause a breakdown of the talks, but will acutally speed the final armist- ice. . However, there is no question but that Ridgways's proposal represents a definite and important change of policy. Therefore his proposal is still under active consideration ’By the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the (Continued on Page 4) Hiroh-ilo,Signs Peace Treaty !

Vishinsky listened impassively as Acheson urged all countries not “to turn aside ihto the noisome alleys of propaganda.” Acheson was asking the U.N. in its 60-nation political commit- tee, to adopt a program which would set up a 12-nation dis- ‘armament commission to start the ball rolling in a step-by-step sup- ervised arms reduction as pro- posed by the U.S., France and Britain. Acheson chose to present the plan to the committee personally. It was his first appearance in person before a U.N. committee to intro- duce and explain a resolution on any subjec;. The commission, made up of the members of the U.N. Security Coun- cil plus Canada, ; would lay the groundwork for a world arms reduc-~ tion conference to which such non- T.N. nations as Red China would be invited. The resolution which Acheson intreduced for the Western Big Three calls for strictly controlled, gradual disarmament and a cen- I sus of all weapons, including the atomic. i The permanent members of the | security Council, Britain, Nation- alist China, France, Russia and the U.S., would have to agree on such a commission’s decisions, since each of the five would have veto power | in the council. “We can seize this great oppor- tunity for peace,” Acheson said in a conciliatory speech which was greeted with great applause from the committee, “or we can fritter i awaw” 4 The Se(‘retsvr; o? écate made no direct mention of the Soviet Union.

Rovigo, the provincial capital, was a deserted city. A fleet of small boats was rush- to Adria, where 20,000 of the 35 000 population were marooned after ignoring earlier warnings. During the weekend the waters covered the city and today rose in many places to second-story level. The canal break was 40 miles from Verona, a city of 170,000, made famous by Shakespeare’s story.

Korea, Nov. 19— (B — Chinese ‘Reds furiously counterat- tac®ed in central Korea today but couldn’t budge a dug-in Allied di- vision which had smashed them back three miles in a two-day line- straightening offensive. British forces beat off a 12-hour Communist attack on the western end of the battle line. In the East, UN command troops were knocked off two hills, but re- captured one a few hours later. Allied jet fighters sweeping over North Korea Monday spotted only eight Communist MIG jets but none of the eight ventured south of the Yalu River, boundary of their Man- churian_sanctuary. A pair of daring American Sabre jet pilots Sunday shot up eight Red Mig-15 jets on the ground at an air base in northwestern Korea— the first time enemy jets have been caught on the ground. Seven other MIGs were reported hit in three air battles. JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1951 Rescued Couple Still Snowbound In Small Village FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 19—® —An amateur pilot and his com- panion on an ill-starred pleasure flight were snowbound at an Alaska village today, awaiting clearing weather to make the trip back to civilization. Bush Pilot Bob Vanderpool took off yesterday from Stoney River, a village 250 miles west of Anchorage, with Bob Rouse and Viola O'Brien, hero and heroine of an epic Alaska rescue last week, but was turned back by a snowstorm. . Vanderpool planned another at- tempt today.' He said he would fly the couple to Anchorage or Fair- banks, whichever city reported the best weather, The bush pilot last Friday plucked Miss O'Brien from an icy river-bed after a light plane with Rouse at the controls made a crash landing Nov.,2 on a pleasure flight from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Rouse stumbled 35 miles over rugged terrain covered by 12 inches of snow to carry word of the acci- dent to Stoney River, an Eskimo village. Vanderpool flew to the accident scene, landed despite a snowstorm, and returned to Stoney River with Miss O'Brien. Reports received here yesterday indicated both Rouse and Miss O'Brien were in good condition de- spite the two-week ordeal in frigid snowswept interior Alaska.

From an engineering standpoint, ready to go as soon as the Com- ion lifts a three-year-old freeze on station construction. That may be February — possibly even earlier in Alaska where the long distances between population centers elimi- nate the possibility of interference when stations are too close to- gether. it's The financial outlay, however, may cool the enthusiasm of any prospective promoter. It costs from §250,000 to $500,000 to build a TV station, and $100,000 a year or so to operate. Whether Alaska's cities are large enough to pro- duce that kind of advertising rev- enue is a question outside FCC’s Jurisdiction. j handle the allocation of one spokesman said. “Whether an applicant can make a profit doesn’t concern us — it's his money.” So for no one has indicated wil- lingness to take the gamble. The Commission announced re- cently it has allocated 19 stations to six Alaska communities — all in the ‘“very high frequency (VHF)" channels receivable by sets now on the market. It allocated no “ultra I high frequency (UHF)” channels to the territory. AMocaiions Most of the allocations — six — went to Fairbanks; four to Anchor- age; three each to Juneau and Ket- chikan; two to Seward and one to Sitka. One station in each of the first four communities is reserved for, non-commercial, educational purposes. ‘The Fairbanks allocations, inci- dentally, are a good illustration of the lack of station interference ex- pected in the territory. Seattle, will have only four VHF stations to prevent interference with other stations allocated to nearby Tacoma. hnotvr Aom. Blast Set Off MEMBER A SSOCIATED PRESS Red Truce Talk Delegates fo Give Reply Wednesday MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 19— Red cease-fire delegates today promised to give their overall reply Wednesday to an allied proposal for an armistice in 30 days in Korea. At the close of an hour and 15- minute session at Panmunjom, they asked and got a recess through Tuesday. They wanted to study a plan keyed to a truce line which courses up to more than 25 miles notrh of parallel 38. The Reds apparently want to refer the matter to Peiping — where Red China’s Foreign Min- ister Chou en-Lai today issued a statement backing up a Rus- sian proposal that parallel 38 be the line of demarcation for divid- ed Korea, Chinese Red Gen. Hsieh Fang of the Communist delegation said the Reds, after studying the plan, would come back Wednesday with the'overall reply. The hour of the next meeting will be 11 a.m. (6 p.m. Tuesday, PST). The Allies have proposed that the present line of battle contact across Korea be accepted as a temporary demarcation line now and that such a line become the permanent cease- fire line if a full armistice is sign- ed within 30 days.

Williams, a Senate Finance Com- mittee member who has been ac- tive in probing the government’s tax collection system, said that O'Gara is amonk federal employees who have fed him information. O'Gara is the assistant US. At- torney for northern California. Earlier, Willlams had disclosed secret testimony in which O'Gara sald he had evidence of stomach- turning corruption in San Fran- cisco’s Internal Revenue office, Williams said he conferred with McGrath today regarding “the pro- posed removal” of O'Gara and added in a statement: “I was given the positive assur- ance by the attorney general that Mr. Charles O'Ghra would not be fired as a result of any cooperation which Mr. O'Gara had given to me personally or to any Congressional committee.” Williams earlier had, said he blasted O'Gara secret testimony be- fore the Finance Committee be- cause recommendations for O'Gara’s dismissal were before the Justice Department.

He'lll concentrate on “five or six of the top racketeers of the country,” he said today. Williams who is credited by his Republican colleagues with setting off the current House probe of scandals in"the Federal Revenue gathering service, says he will de- mand still deeper digging. He followed this with disclosure that he's doing some digging of his own into the tax cases of some big- time criminals. He wouldn't reveal their names, he said, for “fear of tipping them off to cover up, or possible loss of government records involving them.” “I'm making a detailed case study of just how they were treated on tax returns, collections and prosecu tions by Federal tax officlals,” Williams told a reporter. “There has been a lot of criticism and rumor about preferential treatment of these racketeers by tax officials. T have asked Treasury officials for full detalls on these cases.” Williams added that he hasn't yet {received all the data he asked but he thinks he'll be “able to get all the facts one way or another,” ' In calling for a hotter pace in the tax scandals chase, Williams told a reporter he will insist that William G. Lias, whom he has identified to the Senate as a notorious racket- eer, gets a chance to tell his full story'on “tax deals.” Willlams want- ed to know about $3,230,774 in tax claln:s he sald remain unpaid. 1BOLICK RESIGNS, (NI.R.B. l , Noy, 19 — (B — ' a top-ottielal of the Internal Revenue Bureau for imnny years, resigned ' today.

Casualties Climb 'As British Hold Suez Trouble Zone ISMAILIA, Egypt, Nov. 19—(®— British forces “occupied” this Suez Canal Zone trouble center today as the casualty list climbed to 14 dead and 31 wounded from two wiprkend battles between British troops and Egyptian police. Acting Foreign Minister Ibrahim Farag El Din Pasha immediately announced in a radio address that he would protest both in Cairo and in London against the “occupation.” On the British side, four officers were killed—one on Saturday—and four soldiers and two civilians wounded. Egyptian authorities an- nounced that six policemen and four civilians were killed, and 25 police wounded in the 24-hotr per- jod of sporadic fighting. The British wounded included Ralph Champion, correspondent of the London Sunday Pictorial. He was slightly hurt. § A British spokesman described yesterday’s fighting as a “flareup of the Saturday night battle” in which a British army officer was killed. He said a military patrol jeep was fired on yesterday afternoon as it passed headquarters of the Egyptian police. “This appeared to be the signal for gunfire to open from all di- ‘rections, from' rooftops and door- ways.” Troops from the British head- quarters were rushed to the city and returned the Egyptian fire, Denali scheduled to sail from Se- attle on Friday.
