IT'S ALL A MATTER OF DISTRACTING THE EYE
itczzjs—.
COMMUNIST UNIONS SHOULD GO
A committee of Congress is studying legislative
means of thwarting the Communist labor unions. .It
recognizes that they cannot be kicked out of plants so
long as a federal government bureau such as the Na
tional Labor Relations Board gives them legal standing.
The committee has asked for help from non-Com
munist labor leaders and several leading industrialists
who have been involved with unions labeled as Com
munist dominated.
L. R. Boulware, vice president in charge of em
ploye relations for General Electric, has made detailed
recommendations for legislation and has called upon
Congress to immediately make it legally possible for
GE and other industries to kick out the Communists.
Mr. Boulware cites an attempt by his company in
1948 to quit doing business with UEW. “We were . . .
sued for $1,000,000 by the UEW,” he reports.
Mr. Boulware s recommendations should receive
careful consideration. J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
FBI, has said recently that the Communists have
shifted their Fifth Column forces heavily into our most
vital defense industries.
It seems to me that when we accept the reality of
the Communist conspiracy, and then accept the funda
mental fact that every Communist is working for the
overthrow of our government by force, we are foolish
not to go directly to the heart of the matter. Commu
nist organizations ought to be outlawed!
The FBI says it has a list of more than 30,000 \yho
are working to destroy us. Why don't we outlaw their
organized activity? It’s ridiculous to legalize their or
ganized treason.
1952 s THIRD PARTY
Recently, in Chicago, the formation of a third
party was decided upon by about 100 persons, repres
enting 40 states. These people do not like the platforms
adopted by either the Republicans or Democratic par
ties, in convention, and it has been proposed that they
call themselves the All-American Party.
Unfortunately, the latest third party effort got off
to a rather confuted and fizzling start. Sessions began
one day and on the afternoon of the second day, dis
cussion of a third party became heated and involved.
A local hospital has changed the name of its mat
ernity ward to the “heirport.”

Const Guard 83 - footer which
reached the scene reported later,
an SOS was sent on the wrong
frequency. It was not until two
hours later that the Kathleen con
tacted an Alaska Communications
System station on ship-to-shore
telephone to find out why the dis
tress message had not been an
swered.
On arrival of the cutter, life
boats brought passengers ashore,
fires were built on the . beach and
a path was cut through brush
and rocks half a mile to a road.
Coast Guard Rescue
The Coast Guard took 110 o*f
the older passengers to the harbor
and returned and took between
30 and 40 to Auk Bay, both points
within easy access to the road to
Juneau. One of the survivors suf
fered a heart attack in the lobby
of the Baranof Hotel, presumably
from over-exertion.
All the survivors were high in
their praise of the crew’s calm
efficiency.
Three other Canadian Pacific
Lines ships have been lost in the
immediate area. One of the North
Pacific’s worst marine disasters
took the lives of 343 persons, ev
eryone aboard, when the Princess
Sohpia sank on Oct. 18, 1918, oyly
eight miles away.
Twenty six were lost when the
Islander hit a Douglas Island rock
in the area in September 1901.
The Clutch sank in 1900, only
five miles away, but with no loss
of life.
Ship Wrecks Haunt
San Francisco Tourists
VANCOUVER, (/P)—Their holi
days dumped 15 fathoms into
Alaska’s Inland Passage, 19 tour
ists arrived here today carrying
memories of shipwreck and very
little else.
And for many of the glad-to
be-alive Americans, who figure
loss of luggage a small matter
when the ocean was playing for
keeps, the story of shipwreck had
its beginning more than a year
ago. The bedraggled band—most
of them residents of San Fran
cisco—arrived on the first flight
of an airlift set up after the sink
ing.
The most bizarre part of the
saga was related by 23-year-old
Lorraine Shaylor, *a clerk with a
San Francisco insurance firm.
Lorraine, her sister Gladys, and
their father were members of a
tour group sponsored by the Cath
olic Young Men’s Institute of San
Francisco.
The tour was scheduled to go
to Alaska lust year but plans had
to be cancelled when the Kathleen
was damaged in a collision with
the steamship Prince Rupert.
So the group made plans to take
in Alaska this year and the

For Capital Hill In Korea
SEOUL, (Jf) — Chinese and
South Korean infantrymen battled
fiercely tonight for control of
Capital Mm amid bursting shells
from tremendous U.N. and Corn
must artillery barrages.
An American combat officer
reported the fighting was largely
hand-to-hand — ‘Svith bayonets,
fists, grenades, satchel - charges,
daggers and clubs.”
The officer said “It’s a hide
and seek affair at night, all hand
to-hand because there’s not any
thing to shoot at in the dark.”
He said no one controlled the
crest erf the central front’ height
because of the heavy artillery
barrages from both sides.
The U.S. Eighth Army earlier
had reported that the South Kor
eans—who in three days have at
tacked five times in the face of
48,000 rounds of artillery fire—
had reached the top only to be
driven off an hour later.
The U.S. Fifth Air Force said
its Sabre jet pilots knocked five
MIGS out of the air today and
damaged five others in battles
near the Manchurians border.
The air victories raised the Sep
tember bag of Russian-built MIGs
to 22 destroyed, one probable and
15 damaged. This pace is well
ahead of the record 44 MIGs de
stroyed in April.

with them on the rocky shoreline
of Alaska.
“The Kathleen must have had
something against us,” ‘Lorraine
said. When she was asked where
the tour planned to visit next
year, she replied:
“They haven’t said yet. I hope
its not Alaska because if it is I
don’t think anybody will go.’’
Many Alaskans
Back Non-Shed's
Fight for Existence
By Frank W. VaflU
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Many
Alaskans are rallying behind a
non-scheduled airline’s efforts to*
continue service in the territory,
the Senate Small Business Com
mittee reported Saturday.
A committee aide told a repor
ter that 367 individual letters plus
1 petitions and newspaper adver
tisements containing the signa
tures of another 521 Alaska resi
dents have been received. They
are protesting efforts of the Civil
Aeronautics Board to close down
Air Transport Associates, Inc.,
(ATA).
The board revoked ATA s letter
of registration more than a year
ago, charging the airline with
having operated too regularly and
too frequently. The court of ap
peals upheld the board’s action
but the carrier still is operating
pending court action cm its peti
tion for a new hearing.
Alaska residents are asking the
Senate committee to intercede
with the board on ATA’s behalf.
On several earlier occasions the
committee has urged the board to
relax its policies governing air
transportation to and within the
territory.
Most of the letters come from
Fairbanks and Anchorage with a
smaller number from Seattle, the
three principal service areas of
the company.
Nearly all of the asteroids,
which are small planets, revolve
around the sun in orbits which
lie between those of Mars and
Jupiter.
