The attorney said it appeared j
Holzworth “has an ambition of be
coming Orson Wells, Jr., through
use of his imagination .
“No travel agency or air line
has been found which is making
arrangements for the flight,” he
said.
Developments were fu r t h e r
complicated by a statement from
Donald McDonald that he knows
nothing about the flight. He wired
the Anchorage Times:
“Use of my name in connection
with the flight to Washington is
unauthorized. I know nothing of
it.”
His name appeared in the first
announcement that some Alaskans
were planning to fly to Washing
ton to protest the confirmation. A
check of Fairbanks failed to get
confirmation of the flight. Per
sons mentioned as “among those
invited” told the Times they had
never heard of the flight, and
Fairbanks travel agencies and air
lines said they had “not even had
a request for information” on a
| charter flight.
I “Are you kidding?” asked Fran
cis Holstrom, manager of the 1949
winter carnival, when asked if
.queen candidates would fly to
Washington. “This is the first I’ve
heard of it. Besides, the queen and
! two princesses now are in Holly
wood and won’t he home for 10
days.”
Officials of the dog mushers’
association said no invitation had
been extended to the winning dog
team drivers to the best of their
knowledge.

Invite Dixicrats
To Rejoin Party
WASHINGTON, </P) — Senator
Lucas fD.-Ill.) Saturday invited
Southern Democrats to come back
into the party fold and vote for
President Truman’s domsetic and
foreign legislative programs.
But Dixie lawmakers made it
clear any return will be a tempo
rary arrangement, leaving them
free to walk out when they don’t
like what the administration pro
poses—including civil fights bills
Lucas, the Senate Democratic
leader, told reporters he doesn’t
think there is any “serious feel
ing” between the southerners—
who filibustered a Senate rules
change for 15 days—and their
northern and western party col
leagues—who voted against the
GOP-Dixie compromise wh i c h
ended the battle.
Lucas noted that Senator Con
nally 'D.-Tex.* will lead the forces
urging passage of European recov
ery legislation and Senator George
^D.-Ga.) will be at the helm when
the administration’s recipro cal
! tradu agreements bill is brought
before the Senate.
1 He would not predict, however,
whether there will be any sub
stantial southern support for the
Truman labor bill being offered as
a substitute for the Taft-Hartley
act.
