Sen. Sees Hint Of !
Truman 3rd Term
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman’s reported remark he
has “never quit a fight” was seen
by Senator Anderson (D-NM> as
a new indication the chief execu
tive will seek another term.
Anderson talked of a “strength
ened conviction” Mr. Truman is
going to run again even as Sen
ator Humphrey <D-Minnl entered
the March 18 Minnesota presiden
tial primary as a “favorite son”
c ndidate—at the President’s re
quest, Humphrey said.
Humphrey insisted he has no
While House ambitions, and said
the votes of his state’s Democrat
ic-:'; rmer-Labor delegation would
be cast for Mr. Truman at the
July nominating convention if the
Pr sident bids for re-election.
''Jr. Truman continued to keep
his own counsel about his plans,
but Rap. Sieminski (D-NJ) quoted
♦he President as having told him
Friday:
“From precinct captain to Presi
dent, I have served the people to
the best of my ability and I’m a
lobbyist for the people. I never
quit a fight or ran away from
anything.”

M’Arthur Policies
In Korea Endorsed
By Sen Knowland
By JACK BELL
SAN FRANCISCO, (ff) — Sen
ator Knowland (R-Calif) declared
in an endorsement of Gen. Doug
las MacArthur’s policies, that the
United States has no business
fighting in Korea unless it ex
pects to win.
The California Senator, a sup
porter of Gov. Warren’s bid for
the Republican presidential nom
ination, brought MacArthur’s
name before the GOP National
Committee in its closing session.
Former Governor Harold E.
Stassen of Minnesota drew cheers ;
Friday night when he declared j
that MacArthur should be re
stored to the Pacific command
from which President Truman re
moved him.
A Portland, Ore., real estate
dealer, told a reporter that a Mac
Arthur slate will be entered in j
the Oregon presidential primary.
Indications are that he thus
may be pitted against Gen. Eisen
hower, who says he is a Republi
can and available for the party
nomination, but won’t join in any
pre-convention campaign.
“Stay Put" Carlsen,
Skipper of Enterprise,
Honored In Home Town
WOODBRIDGE, N.J., (JP)—The
biggest shindig this sprawling
township of 30,000 persons has
seen in its 283 years of existence
goes on today to welcome home
its favorite son—Capt. Kurt Carl
sen.
Home to the brave captain is a
little frame house on Alwat St.
Home is Mrs. Agnes Carlsen,
cooking up her hisband’s favorite
dish of Danish hamburger (baked,
with lots of onions). Home is
Carlsen’s two daughters, Sonja,
11, and Karen, 7.
But Woodbridge wants to show
Carlsen what a welcome really
means. And' it has set up a gigan
tic parade to which all of New
Jersey is invited.
It has to be something of an
anti-climax for Carlsen, the little
freighter captain whose courage
gripped the whole world when he
refused to leave his ship, the
Flying Enterprise.
After the ticker tape parade up
Broadway on Thursday, Wood
bridge’s reception is bound to be
overshadowed.
But the town is rolling out the
red carpet with a lavishness that
equals anything Captain “Stay
Put” Carlsen has seen yet.
There was a major crime com
mitted every 17 seconds in 1950.

B-25 Bomber
Crash-Lands
Atop Guard House
SACRAMENTO, Calf., (/P) —
The delayed-action explosion of a
crippled air force bomber atop a
crowded guard house killed six
men and injured 61 at Mather Air
Base Saturday.
Ironically, the 10-minute inter
val between crash-landing and
explosion made it possible for the
B-21’s injured three-man crew to
get out—but enlarged the scope j
of the tragedy.
In that interval, rescuers worm
ed their way from the shattered
roof into the guardhouse, seek
ing to pull out men imprisoned
under fallen beams. Then a fiery
blast enveloped the one-story bar
racks in flaming gasoline.
The bomber was coming in for
a landing when one of its two
engines failed. A wing dipped and
sheered a power line. The bomber
cartwheeled onto the peakgd roof
of the guardhouse, caving it in.
Alaska Fisheries Dept.
Starts Stream Project
The Alaska Department of Fish
eries has selected the Pauls Lake
watershed on Afognak Island as
its first stream improvement proj- j
ect, it was announced by C. L.
Anderson, director. He stated this
is the first in a series of projects
to increase the production of sal
mon in Alaska by increasing the
number of streams and lakes pro
ducing salmon. To facilitate this
the Department is planning fish
ways over and around barriers
presently in the streams. Only
those streams which are present
ly non-productive are being ccm
sidered for work of this type as
efforts along this line require an
extensive stocking program.
