Scenery Creek
Good Power Site
WASHINGTON, (>P) — A U. S.
geological survey report has ap
praised Scenery Creek in South- j
eastern Alaska as “a favorable
power site.” It is near Petersburg,
flowing into Thomas Bay.
The survey report, released by
the department of the interior,
said its assets are heavy rainfall, a
good storage site and a high con
centration of fall.
“Complete regulation of stream
flow can be achieved with a dam
on Scenery Lake,” the report said.
“By utilizing the fall through a
tunnel and penstock to a power
house at sea level, 16,000 firm
horsepower can be developed, and
mor than 100,000,000 kilowatt
hours of energy can be produced
in an average year.” 1

Korean Situation
At A Glance - - -
(Continued from Page One)
Korean 21st regiment, unexpect
edly supported by a unit of U. S.
artillery.
50 B-29 superfortresses struck
deep into enemy territory, dump
ing 400 tons of bombs on railyards
at Seoul, 90 miles north of the
main battle area, and plastering
the Chungju area supply lines in
the central sector.
Russia’s Prime Minister Stalin
was reported by New Delhi dis
patches to have told Prime Minis
ter Nehru of India the Soviet
Union holds the admission of com
munist China to the United Na
tions security council an essential
step toward ending the Korean
War. Stalin, replying the Nehru’s
mediation offer, is said to have
agreed the Korean war could be
settled, but the China communists
must first replace the Nationalists
in the U. N.
Authoritative sources in Wash
ington say the U. S. would not ve
to a Red China application if the
communists received the seven
council votes necessary for admis
sion. But the U. S. demands the
withdrawal of the North Korean
communists to the 38th parallel,
their jump-off invasion line, as a
prime condition for Korean peace
efforts. ,
U. S. secretary of state Dean
Acheson, to whom Nehru also ad
dressed a mediation offer, is ex
pected to draw a sharp line be
tween peace and appeasement. He
is expected to make clear that the
U. S. is not prepared to compro
mise on the withdrawal of the
Red invaders, which also is an ob
jective of the United Nations.
However, he is not expected to
close any door to international ef
forts to end the Korean war.
Meanwhile, the U. S. is not re
laxing the gigantic job of supply
ing the American build-up in Ko
rea. A mountain of equipment,
weapons, ammunition and other
materiel is being funneled into
Pusan. A port of limited facili
ties, it is all-important to the
American effort, and there is al
ways the possibility that North
Koreans will be supplied with a
sufficient number of Rus s i a n
planes to attempt an all-out bom
bardment.
Sen. Bridges CR.-N. H.), told re
porters in Washington he expects
President Truman will make a re
quest this week for “several bil
lions of dollars” to build up the
American fighting machine in Ko
rea, and that Congress probably
will not hesitate to give the armed
forces what they need.
The British cabinet had before
it today the appeal of U. N. secre
tary-general Trygve Lie to all U.
N. members supporting the anti
aggression resolution to give ef
fective aid—if possible, ground
forces—to stop the Korean Reds.
Australian Prime Minister Robert
G. Menzies was on hand for the
discussion.
British and Australian ships
and planes are already fighting in
Korea, and there has been talk of
at least token ground forces, even
though Britain is heavily commit
ted to fighting communists in
other Asia areas, particularly Ma
laya.

“The general also said several
times that a more sweeping draft
law may be needed,” Hart said.
The army has said that it has
“no present plan” for another
draft call; but has emphasized
that conditions are subject to
quick change.
