the Anchorage Chamber.
"On Sunday the committees had

of the widely-separated chambers
in the Territory.”

Seek Conference
On Chinese Strife
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Republi
can Senator Flanders of Vermont
and Democratic Senator Murray
of Montana joined today in urg
ing an international conference to
seek a solution of China’s internal
strife.
They proposed that Gen. George
C. Marshall preside over the meet
ing which they said could be
called within the framework of
the United Nations.
The two senators declared “it is
known" that the Communist
forces are not receiving Russian
supplies, although they are cap
turing American equipment from
their opponents.
“American supplies,” they said,
“have been identified in the eyes
of all Chinese as the major factor
in perpetuating a chronic and in
decisive civil war. As a further
and inevitable consequence, a
spreading tide of anti-American
feeling is undermining the tradi
tional friendship between the
American and Chinese peoples.”
First Nurses Got 25c a Day

Medical Department was the Army
Hospital Department authorized

“Each regiment,” said the order,
“shall be equipped with one hos
pital . . . there shall be a matron
with every 100 sick or wounded, to
supervise nurses, bedding and so
forth, and one nurse for every 10
sick or wounded. Matrons shall re-1
ceive 50 cents per day, nurses ;
twenty-four ninetieths of a dol
lar.” Today, Regular Army volun
teers may select the Medical De
partment for training in the new
est sciences as medical, laboratory,
drug, X-ray, optical, and other
specialty technicians.
Russians Encroach
On Alaskan
Fishing Waters
WASHINGTON, </P) — The
“highest level” consideration has
been asked of the state depart
ment by Pacific Coast delegations
regarding wftat they termed pos
sible Russian encroachment on
American fishing waters off the
Alaska coast. Gov. Mon C. Wall
gren reported today.
The Washington governor head
ed a West Coast group yesterday
in a 45-minute conference with
secretary of state Byrnes and un
dersecretary Will Clayton.
Wallgren disclosed following
the conference that he had relate !
that Russian fishermen had moved
in where Japanese had left off and
that he feared old disputes be
tween rival fishing groups may
flare anew.
“We had our troubles with the
Japanese and now the question
may arise with the Russians as to
how far they are to go and how
far we can go,” Wallgren said.
American fishermen from Alas
ka to Mexico are worried, the gov
ernor said, about the possible en
croachment and want the state de
partment to give high priority to
the handling of international fish
ing affairs.
Stassen Candidate
For GOP President
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Harold E.
Stassen ripped the lid off the 1948
Republican Presidential nomina
tion battle by declaring nis candi
dacy on an immediate platform of
changing the Wagner labor rela
tions act.
i The 39-year-old three-time gov
ernor of Minnesota and former
navy captain added that he is out
to steer the GOP along a “truly
1 liberal path.”
One of his first efforts, Stassen
! told a news conference* yesterday,
will be directed toward amending
the Wagner act to prescribe a ‘‘set
of unfair practices” for labor such
as "mass picketing.” Pactices now
spelled out as unfair in this law
apply only to management.
Stassen said he wants to "bal
ance up this collective bargain
ing.”
His announcement, unexpected
only because of its timing so long
before the 1948 nominating con
vention, came after Senators Van
denberg of Michigan and Taft of
Ohio had told reporters they are
not candidates. Each, however,
1 left the way open for any cam
paigns in their behalf.
The golden eagle is the boldest
1 b:rd of prey in the world.
