WHAT THE BRITISH PAPERS ARE SAYING
The Daily Telegraph discusses Korea:
“Everyone must hope that Peking will see reason
and act upon it. But the United Nations must also be
prepared for the possibility of the Chinese Communists
continuing the war.
“In that case, the U.N. must consider whether op
erations should be limited by the thirty-eighth parallel.
If the U.N. is to stand its ground, it must choose not an
imaginary line on a map, but the one which best com
bines impregnability with the least deployment of
resources. That rules out the Yalu River, but it does
not rule out an intermediate line between it and the
parallel. Nor does it rule out, for example, the system
atic destruction of the Yalu River bridges.”
The Financial Times, on Persian oil:
“If the trouble in Persia were to boil over, and if
the Persian government were to go to the length of
stopping crude oil supplies altogether, it would in the
short run be a serious matter for this country. But in
the long run the Persian government cannot afford not
to sell its oil.
“It would be most unwise however not to recog
nize that in the short run Persia’s power for mischief
is great, not only for this country, but for the United
States and many other countries as well.”
The right-wing Daily Mail, on famine in India:
“Starvation faces the people of Bihar in northeast
India. And one would think the problem is an outlet
for the concerted activities of mankind.
“In the absence of action so far by the United
States or the United Nations, the British Common
wealth should act swiftly.”
The Mail says that it believes the British people
for one would accept bread rationing for a few weeks
to help save people in Bihar.

Government Orders New
Cut In Auto Production j
WASHINGTON, </P) — The
government, Saturday, ordered a
new cut in auto production on
July 1. It will limit output to
about 1,200,000 cars during the
July-September period.
The National Production Au
thory said the order, completely
revising auto industry controls,
will mean a reduction of about
one third or more from the nearly j
1.900.000 cars produced during j
the same July-September quarter
ly period a year ago.
It will allow about 200,000
fewer cars than the estimated
1.400.000 units being produced in
the current April-June quarter.

Floors Minutes Before
Bribery Trial Starts
NEW YORK, (JP) — A retired
policeman plunged to his death
from a sixth floor window of
Brooklyn’s Central Court Build*
ing today, minutes before he was
to go on trial on bribery con
spiracy charges.

V. Panarella, 44, was one of 21
present or former policemen slated
for trial in connection with an al
leged gambling - protection setup
in Brooklyn.
Court attaches said he jumped
or fell just before the trial was
to open before Kings County
Judge Samuel Liebowitz.

probing grand jury. They were
accused of conspiring to accept

erations.

Acheson
Possibility That
Korean War Will
End In Stalemate
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
of State Acheson said Saturday a
naval blockade of Red China is
“under constant planning” but it
is not practical at this time to
seek United Nations backing for
one.
Testfying at the Senate’s Mac
Arthur inquiry, Acheson also said
the United States is “not going
to allow” Formosa “to be taken
by force.”
And he called British-owned
Hong Kong a place of importance
whose fall to the Communists
would have “a very adverse influ
ence” on U. S. interests.
He was asked about the White
House conferences which led to
the removal o'f MacArthur on
April 11 from his Far Eastern
commands. But Acheson, who took
part in the talks, refused to tell
what was said at them. He said
his stand was taken on “direct in
struction” from President Tru
man.
As to prospects for an £nd to
the Korean war, Acheson said he
knows of no present peace moves.
He said there is a possibility—but
called it not the most likely one—
that the fighting will end in a
stalemate.
Calling “stalemate” an “un
pleasant word,” Acheson said
there was a possibility of a set
tlement “on the basis of mutually
known strengths.”
MacArthur, in opposing Tru
man administration policy in Ko
rea, contended it promised only
a “bloody stalemate.”
At the time the United States
intervened in Korea, President
Truman ordered the U. S. Sev
enth Fleet to “neutralize” For
mosa, the island where the Chin
ese Nationalist government took
refuge when the Communists
drove it from the mainland.
Acheson said it is “altogether
possible” the Communists could
make landings on Formosa despite
efforts of the U. S. Seventh Fleet
to prevent it.

Cordova Clam Pack
1,500,000 Pounds
CORDOVA, (/P) — Cordova’s
razor clam pack, which represents
85 per cent of the total Pacific
Coast domestic pack, wound up
this week with 1,500,000 pounds
being taken from nearby beaches.
Clamdiggers got a 20 per cent
raise this year, to 15 cents a
pound, and will collect close to
$250,000, the Federal Fish and
Wildlife Service estimated.
Cannery workers, who got a 15
per cent across-the-board increase
also will glean about $250,000.
The Fi9h and Wildlife Service
also said the red salmon catch is
picking up with indications of a
fair season. Distribution among
fishermen will be bad this year,
however, as there was an unusual
influx of outside and other Alaska
district fishermen.
The service estimated there was
approximately 100 miles of nets
on the fishing grounds, or more
than double the normal amount.

LOCAL LICENSE OFFICE CALLS
ATTENTION TO LAW ON
DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS
The local Territorial license
authority called attention to the
territorial law on driving on pub
lic thoroughfares, due to the fact
that there have been several acci
dents in the last few days.
The U. S. Marshall’s Office,
Territorial License Officer, and
municipal authorities are charged
with the enforcement of the
Alaska traffic laws when no reg
ular patrolmen are available.
Over the week-end there were
two serious car accidents, one
just beyond the Red Hangar and
the other near the Dry Creek
bridge just beyond the Hospital.
In one of the cal's, which over
turned, there were reported to be
several children. Fortunately no
one was seriously injured.
