EVANGELICAL MISSION
TO BUILD NEW CHURCH
The Evangelical Mission Coven
ant Church has purchased the lot
on the corner of Front Street and
B. Street fro Nels Strand and Rev.
Paul Carlson has drawn up plans
for a new church which will be
constructed on the lot.
Rev. Carlson, who is known as
the flying missionary, will be
building his third church in this
part of the Territory; having de
signed and built churches at Can
dle and White Mountain.
Construction is already under
way—sand and lumber having
been placed on the lot during the
past week.

rately mapped in 1923.

Fold-away Sewing Cabinet
This young homemaker is obviously pleased as punch with her new
sewing cabinet (and with herself for persuading hubby to build it).
Actually, it was so easy to make that she could have done the job.
Sewing and mending is much faster and lots of fun now that all
equipment is organized and centralized within arm’s reach. There are
pockets for patterns, elastic, measuring tape, rick rack, pin cushion,
lace, scissors, zippers — everything needed for sewing, and everything
in its place. . . , .. . .
The cabinet is sturdy, yet is light in weight so it can be easily carried
to any room, in the car, to the next door neighbor’s — wherever it’s
needed. It can be painted, stained, or varnished — in fact, finished in
almost any decorative style desired. The closed view (inset) shows
how compactly it folds for storage in a closet or behind a door.
Free “Handyman Plans” for building this cabinet were obtained
from the community lumber dealer who distributes “The Business
of Farming” magazine, published by United States Gypsum. These
plans are just one of many services the magazine offers to homemakers.
The sewing cabinet above proved such an immediate success with the
young lady, that she has asked the lumber dealer for free plans on how
to build an extra clothes closet, quickly, inexpensively.

House Junks Bill
For Mandatory
Wage-Price Curbs
WASHINGTON (/P), The House
today junked its mandatory wage
and price curb bill and started
over on the job of writing an eco
nomic control measure.
Beginning with the limited con
trols President Truman has asked,
the House added an anti-hoarding
provision as its first step in trying
to put together a new and broad
er bill. Approved 112 to 46, this
would make hoarders subject to a
year in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The mandatory wage-price bill
—providing for ceilings to go on
automatically if living costs rise 5
per cent above the level of June
15—was denounced yesterday by
President Truman. He called it an
invitation for a five per cent rise.
The House threw it out on a
standing vote of 172 to 161 on
which the members were not re
corded by name. The idea had
been tentatively approved yester
day 159 to 128.
The action left before the House
a controls bill providing only
standby allocation and priorities
powers for the President, author
ity to reuisition war-needed ma
terials, to grant production loans
and to curb credits.
This bill, however, was subject
to amendment to add wage-price
controls. \
The junking of the mandatory
bill climaxed four days of House
maneuvering.
Today’s vote tossed out the
amended substitute and left the.
House back where it started—j
with the banking committee’s bill.
The House began then to deal
with proposed changes in the com- i
mittee bill. !
First, Rep. Crawford (R.-Mich.) j
wanted to change the policy dec-!
laration. He didn’t like assertions
thaj the bill’s powers were needed
for this country’s support of the
United Nations and mutual de
fense. His attempt to change the
language was defeated on a
standing vote of 131 to 91.
The House next slapped down
a proposal by Rep. Hoffman. (R.
Mich.) that the secretaries of de
fense, commerce and the treasury
be required to establish fair aver
age prices on all materials and
services as a guide to federal and
local agencies for enforcing fair
prices.

gass For Purchase
WASHINGTON, </P) — Almost
100 acres in the Tongass National
Forest near Ketchikan, Alaska,
will soon be opened to purchase
by the public, secretary of the in
terior Chapman said today.
The land consists of 55 tracts
in the Herring Bay area, six miles
south of Ketchikan.
Most of the lots thus eliminated
from the national forest already
are occupied, and the present oc
cupants will be given the first
chance to buy them at the govern
ment-appraised low prices, Chap
man said. War veterans will have
preference in buying the others.
Chapman said further elimina
tions from forest areas in Alaska
j probably will make vacant tracts
! in Alaska available in sufficient
numbers to “meet current de
mands for land of this kind.”

U. S. Tank-Led
Battalion Gets 22
Miles Behind Reds
(Continued from Page One>
Reds have a strong force in the
southernmost drive headed tow
ard Masan.
This battalion made a 36-hour
forced march souht to reach the
jumping off place for the dash
toward Chinju. The boys had a
few hours* rest and then at 6 a.m.
Wednesday they began their push.
Troops of the U. S. 24th Divi
sion held their line firmly east of
Chinju yesterday after sending
the tank-led battalion deep into
enemy territory.
The tanks probed for miles be
hind enemy lines Wednesday in
the deepest penetration American
forces have made.
(Maj. Gen. John E. Church,
commanding the 24th, told Associ
ated Press correspondent O. H. P.
King: “Our timing was fortunate.
Our attack stopped their from
getting under way.**)
The task force smashed through
the enemy and caught rear com
munist elements by surprise. The
Americans engaged the Reds in a
roaring road battle, and rolled al
most into Chinju*
The task force ran a gauntlet of
machine gun fire all the way. But
it captured enemy documents,
maps and Russian made equip
ment. Intelligence officers said
these were important finds.
Four Sherman tanks and four
armored cars were abandoned.
