Harry Still Wants
“Fair Deal”
Legislation
WASHINGTON, (jP)—President
Truman’s opening message tor the
new Congress may hang an emer
gency label on some “fair deal”
proposals but lawmaker friends
generally hope it will stick to in
ternational issues.
Mr. Truman cut short his Chris-t
mas vacation at Independence,
Mo., to get down to work on his
State of the Union message, and
two other messages to the 32nd
Congress.
The President, due back late
yesterday, a day earlier than
planned. After conferences with
his defense chiefs, Mr. Truman is
tc- start drafting his program for
the legislators.
His State of the Union message
will deal at length with the situa
tion in Korea and efforts to help
Western Europe rearm.
But lawmakers won’t be sur
prised if the President dusts off
parts of the program he has re
commended to Congress before
end suggests they are needed to
strengthen the nation’s defenses.
One Senator said, for instance,
that Mr. Truman might ask again
for action of the controversial
Fair Employment Practices Com
mission issue, oil the grounds that
racial discrimination weakens the
defense production effort.
The President is almost certain
to recommend again statehood for
Alaska and Hawaii, as defense
outposts. Passed by the House, the
statehood bills will die for lack of j
Senate action when the present
Congress ends.
Much more likely to get imme- ;
diate attention from the new Con- 1
gress will be Mr. Truman’s ex-!
p.cted requests for huge military
outlays at home and aboard, re
vision of the draft law, higher
taxes, authority to set up emer
.v acies and extension of the rent
coi.trol law.
These and other emergency-'
sDawned issues are expected to
take up the opening months of
Congress. j
Loch Sloy, at an elevation of 800 !
feet in the Scottish Highlands, is
the site of the largest hydroelec
tric plant in the United Kingdom.

GORDON’S
(Hooper Bay Has
Electric Organ
(Anchorage Times)
The only electric organ in the
Far North has arrived at the Lit
tle Flower Mission located at
Hooper Bay on the Arctic Ocean.!
Father James O’Connor, famous
Alaskan priest, is in charge of the ;
mission and purchased the organ !
last spring through the L and J
Music Store in Anchorage.
The instrument was sent to the
mission on the only boat to touch
| at this isolated port once each
| year, the North Star. It was load
| ed on two small boats and light
ered two miles from where the
North Star anchored. This was
quite a feat as the crated organ
weighed almost a ton, and the
work was done entirely by the Es- j
kimos under the direction of Fa
ther O’Connor. ;
The Little’ Flower Miss i o n i
boasts one platoon of National \
Guard, and in th severe weather j
of the North, they often practice;
their drills to the strains of the
new* electric organ, and it will be
used in their special Christmas1
and Easter maneuvers. A full
blooded Eskimo girl, Hose Anna
Sipary is the official organist of
the mission.
The Little Flower Mission cares
for about 400 natives, and Father
O’Connor and his assistant Father j
Henry Greaves have a large terri
tory to cover. Father O’Connor,
who has been in the Arctic 41
years, annually covers about 1500
miles with his dog teams. In addi
tion, Father O’Connor is chairman
of the Alasan Housing Authority,
and in this capacity has complete
yl rebuilt five villages. At one **
stage of this building operation,
one entire village, Cheva, was in
Father O’Connor’s words, “trans
planted” as it was moved ten
miles to a new location.
