| Taft Supports
Foreign Aid Bill
WASHINGTON, </P| — Senator
Taft (R.-Ohio) threw his support
Saturday behind the $597,000,000
winter aid bill for western Europe
but served notice that he is
against any long range attempt at
“underwriting the world’s defi
cits” dollars. I
He told a reporter the winter i
aid bill, limited to food, fuel and |
fertilizer for France, Italy and
Austria, is all right because it will
i “help those countries go to work.”
He predicted the Senate will ap
prove the measure this week.
But the Ohioan, who is chair
man of the Senate GOP policy
committee and an announced can
didate for his party’s Presidential
nomination, said he opposes what
he called a state department pol
icy of trying to “solve the finan
cial difficulties of every govern
ment.”
Without mentioning the Mar
shall plan by name, he said no
such policy should be carried for
ward into a long-range recovery
program for Europe.
Under the Marshall plan, 16 Eu
ropean nations would receive six
teen to twenty billion dollars of
assistance from this country to en
courage them in a program of
self-help by mutual cooperation
It is expected to reach Congress
about Dec. 8.

Navy Vet Blown
To Bits Firing Into
Powder House
CORDOVA, (/P) — Jimmy La
Gassa, 22-year-old navy veteran,
was blown to bits Saturday when
he fired a rifle bullet into the
powder house of the Mount Mc
Kinley mines at Alganik station,
22 miles east of here.
A companion Johnny Kulper,
16, testified before a coroner’s in
quest that he and La Gassa had
gone to Alganik in La Gassa’s mo
torboat Saturday morning. Kulper
said he remained on the boat to do
some chores and La Gassa said he
was going to take a shot at the
powder shack to “see what would
happen.”
Moments later a terrific blast
shook the boat although it lay un
der a protective bank more than
100 yards away. Kulper was shak
en by the concussion but was not
injured.
With three trappers working in
the district, Kulper searched for
his companion. *They found only
one leg of the victim.
An officer of the mining com
pany said the powder house con
tained about 450 cases of dyna
mite.

Alaskan 4-H’ers
Find Chicago Cold
CHICAGO, </P) — Three Alaska
delegates to the national 4-H club
congress had the same comment
about Chicago’s near-zero weather
“br-r-r-h!”
Flo Alice Dinkel, 17, of Wasilla
in the Matanuska valley, wore a
short fur parka indoors in the 4-H
headquarters hotel, and told a re
porter that ‘‘I don’t like it here.
It’s too cold.”
Nevertheless, Flo obligingly lent
her parka to Claire Frazier, 16, of,
Tallahssee, in sunny Alabama, I
who also shivered in Chicago’t
weather.
Flo won a trip to Chicago as
Territorial winner of the national
clothing achievement contest.
Also here as Territorial winners
are Richard Manley Dangler of
Seward, who made the best record
among Alaskan 4-H’ers raising
poultry, and Lynn Curtis Sandvik
of Palmer, winner of the garden
contest in the Territory. Both com
mented that Chicago’s cold feels
colder than Alaska.
