Beauty Pageant
Most Colorful Ever
I
—
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (/P)—j
This year’s crop of competitors
for the title of Miss America went
on public view yesterday in a col
orful boardwalk parade witnessed
by 150,000 persons.
Fifty-four girls from 46 states, |
four cities, Canada, Alaska, Puer
to Rico and Hawaii drew applause
and whistles as they rode a five
mile stretch of the beachfront. .
Most of the beauties rode in
decorated rolling chairs, but four
were carried on huge Madri-Gras j
type floats designed by their spon
sors. They were Miss Alaska,
Miss New Jersey, Miss Pennsyl
vania and Miss Puerto Rico.
Maxine Cothern of Fairbanks,
appeared in white parka and black;
slacks, standing high on her float;
behind an Alaskan sled. Four pa- i
per mache dogs were strung,
ahead on simulated snow.
The parade easily was the most
tuneful and colorful of the post
war years.

William Sinnok of Shishmaref
passed away yesterday. No funer
al arrangements have been made

44Alaska Could Be
Well Defended”
JUNEAU, (/P)—The command
ing general of armed forces in
Alaska thinks the Territory would
be ably and well defended if it
wore attacked by an enemy force.
The commander, Lt. Gen. Wil
liam E. Kepner, expressed his
confidence here Sunday in a
speech at the opening of the 31st
annual convention of the Ameri
can Legion, Department of Alas
ka.
“Alaska can be defended with
the troops we now have,” he said.
“I don’t say Alaska couldn’t be
taken by an enemy force nor do I
say it could be taken, but any ag
gressor would receive a big jolt in
any attack on Alaska.”
He said that present military
strategy is to defend the heart
lines of the Territory rather than
engage in a costly deployment of
men along the many thousands of
miles of coastline.
Rev. Cabot Johnson, assistant
pastor of the 1st Covenant Church
in Minneapolis, is arriving tomor
row with Alaska Airlines enroute
to the States from Japan. He plans
to spend a few weeks visiting the
Alaska missions before continuing
on his journey.

Would Repeal Two
Ancient Religious
Holdings Laws
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The Sen
ate interior committee recom
mended yesterday that two obso
lete laws passed in 1890 applying
to Alaska be repealed.
The repeal bill now goes to the
Senate. It has been passed by the
House.
One of the laws prohibits any
corporation or association, for re-j
ligious or charitable purposes, to
hold real estate worth more than
|
$50,000. The second permits or
ganizations to hold for houses of
worship, parsonages and burial
grounds as much real property as
is needed for those purposes.
The committee said that the
need for additional community
facilities in Alaska requires that
religious and charitable organiza
tions be encouraged to construct
additional hospital, school and
recreational facilities.
Marines Angry At
Truman’s Remark
*r With U. S. Marines in Korea
(/P)—Fighting marines were angry
and profane today on learning of
President Truman’s remark that
the Marine Corps has a “propa
ganda machine that is almost
equal to Stalin’s.”
None would be quoted by name
on what their commander-in-chief
had to say. Their immediate re
action generally was stunned sur
prise.
(They apparently got their first
word of the President’s statement
through war correspondents and
the army’s service newspaper
Stars and Stripes).
Most Marine officers were re
Ford Workers Get
Wage Boost A
(By The Associated Press)
Labor Day 1950 brought a wel
come wage boost to Ford Motor
Co. workers and an agreement by
CIO electrical workers to call off
a strike scheduled for yesterday.
Ford workers won a new five
year contract, carrying a wage
boost which union officials estiqp*
ated would mean from $45,000,000
to $50,000,000 yearly to some 126,
000 workers.
Leaders of the CIO, AFL and
United Mine Workers all made
speeches Monday.
President Philip Murray of the
CIO told a Birmingham, Ala., au^
dience that labor will give lull
support to the nation’s fight
against communism, but he said
workers “do not intend to be the
goat on to whose shoulders big
business will pass its rightful
share of the common burden.”
Speaking at Chicago, President
William Green of the AFL pledg
ed full support in the Korean war
effort, which he said is “merely
the opening skirmish of a global
struggle which may break out into
open warfare at any time.”
luctant to comment on President *
Truman’s letter to Rep. Gordon
McDonough (R.-Calif.) which was
j made public in the United States.
The officers said they believed
anything they might have to say
1 might affect their relations with
| other U. S. fighting forces in Ko
rea.
The nearest thing to a reply
came from a field officer, who f
was asked for his views.
“I think,” he replied, “it is very
unfair to ask me to comment on
such an unfair statement.”
