Opfimistic For GOP Viclory NEW YORK, Dec. 5 — (# — Four leading Republicans, divided over | possible 'GOP presidential candi- dates in 1952, were united Monday in their optimism for a party vie- tory next year. The quartet, three governors and a Senator, lashed the Truman Ad- ministration in speeches at a $100- plate Republican fund-raising din- ner.

Pacienco Ysalina of eastern Misamis Province, who came from nearby Mindanao Island to take charge of rescue and evacuation, estimated that 2,000 may have died in yesterday’s first eruption, which witnesses have called an atomic-like blast. Neither the governor's estimate nor the news service's figure had confirmation. Red Cross director of distaster relief, Dr. Joaquin Canuto, radioed headquarters that the dead were being cremated or buried as fast as they were found, He said injured were being sent from the stricken northern section of Camiguin to Mahinog on the southeast coast of the island for treatment for scalds and burns. Volcanic heat began subsiding and rescue workers were able to penetrate deeper into the ash and lava area. The Philippine News Service said 10,000 of Camiguin’s 45,000 residents had been evacuated to safer areas.

The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 pm, at the Juneau Memorial Library and the Juneau Dairies. Any resident who has paid real, personal or auto taxes in Juneau is eligible to vote. Mayor Waino Hendrickson to- day explained that the existing and proposed bonds can be retired over a 10-year period from the revenue ) acquired from the city sales and service tax. This estimate is based on an annual return of $129,000. “The accumulated surplus,” Hen- drickson said, “will, by the end of 11952, be sufficient to- meet any con- tingency and by 1955 the surplus based on present returns will en- able the city to retire all outstand- ing bonds remaining in the 1948 street improvement issue which are a 20-year issue, but callable seven years from 1948, The savings in in- terest alone on this one issue will amount to $31,885.” He went on to add that the early retirement of the 1948 bond issue will reflect an annual saving of $10,000 which can be added to the accumulative surplus to be used to retire additional outstanding bonds as they become callable. { Local Demos Active; $5 Dinner Tomorrow, Meeling Tonight Tickets for the Democratic dinner Thursday night in honor of E.

The Washington Merry-Go- Round ¢Copyright, 1951, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) By DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON — The Senate hearings have barely scratched the surface of the scandals in the Ohio election in which Senator Taft de- feated Jumpin’ Joe Ferguson in 1950. The inside story is that Senate investigators uncovered shocking law violations on both sides. - Believing that honest elections are the backbone of democracy, this column has obtained a copy of the Senate investigators’ secret report. It shows a wholesale winking at the laws, and should be published as a warning to the voters in 1952. Here are some blunt statements which conscientious Senate inves- tigators wrote of the Ohio cam- paign: “It was found that the policy of the Ohio Republican Finance com- mittee was. against filing reports of contributions received before May I and after election day. This policy appears to constitute a serious ev- asion of state law.

The phone number is 883. All Red Cross chapters have been asked to have telephone coverage during the day set for its local program, and the day set for Ju- neau is tomorrow. It is the day set for pledging cooperation and willingness to give blood if another | blood program is instituted here. | The blood typing program held in Juneau last year successful. The | blood bank, when 750 pints of blood were obtained in a single day, was outstanding and a matter of pride in the local chapter. The present drive is for pledges. Simply call the chapter office to- morrow. As briefly as possible, state your name, telephone number and post office box numbey, and say that you are willing to .give blood if Juneau has another blood program. With only one telephone in use, long conversations'cannot be held, so please be brief. The need for blood and blood plasma is urgent. The job is to build and- maintain a steady supply of blood. The need arises from three main sources: (1) Korean combat casualties. (2) Replenishing reserve supplies. (3) Concurrent civ- ilian hospital reeds.

The 53-year-old Archbishop had |spent the five years in a small two room cell in Crotia’s Lepoglava i prison, “ The official statement referred to him as the “former archbishop”. At his trial, the archbishop re- peatedly told the three-man Com- munist court “my conscience is clear.” In denying all the charges against him he condemned Com- munism and pointed an accusing finger at the court, saying the trial was against the Roman Catholic Church. The Tito regime often has said it would gladly release MSGR. Stepin- ac if he would leave the country, never to take the archbishop’s post in Yugoslavia. There has been in- creasing pressure in the United States and elsewhere for the church- man's release, since the Tito re- gime began moving closer to the west in matters of defense. Sever- al U. 8. Conigressmen had pleaded with Tito to release the cleric. The arrest and trial aroused Catholic mdigauon throughout the world.

Some 125,000 pounds of the Cal- ifornia packer’s fish vias seized un- der a federal order late last month on grounds that much of it was contaminated and unfit for human consumption. It was also reportedly dog salmon, a much cheaper grade than the specified silver salmon. Much of the shipment was destined for Korea.

That many, Internal Revenue Commyissioner John B. Dunlap an- nounced yesterday, have applied for the fnew $54-a-year r)ofessional gambler’s stamp. The occupation stamp does not legalize gambling —that’s the rub, from the gambler’s point of view—it just puts the gam- bler in compliance with the stamp tax law. Officials have estimated at least 17,750 persons, probably more, are subject to the gambler’s tax. Dun- lap said 2,300 special revenue agents organized in 117 “racket squads® throughout the coutnry have been ordered to go out and collar the delinquents.
