Passengers Sleep In
Plane at Fairbanks
FAIRBANKS. </P) — Blanketed
by the season’s first heavy snow
fall, Fairbanks gave a chill recep
tion Wednesday night to 54 unex
pected guests.
The 54 were passengers aboard
two Northwest Airlines planes on
the Orient route, which were
forced to land here because of bad
weather at Anchorage.
Because the city, which lays
claim to being one of North Amer
ica’s most over-crowded, had no
accommodations, the passenger-;
spent the night in the planes.
Both planes continued to An
chorage yesterday.

Taft Against Com
pulsory Military
Training
CASPER, Wyo. </P) — Senator
Taft (R.-Ohio> wound up his west
ern political tour here yesterday
in a clash ’with the Democratic
administration on several major
issues and in disagreement with
some of his own party leaders on
at least one—universal military
training.
The Ohioan, who turns home
ward after a speech here in which
he promised to discuss “the Demo
cratic party,” left behind newlv
voiced opposition to compulsory
military training because he said
it might become an obstacle to
peace."
Instead, Taft urged in a state
ment expansion of national guard
training in the technical aspects
of warfare which, he said, would
provide the core of reserves for
building a modern military ma
chine any time it would be need
I ed.
j His stand against universal mil
| itary training put the Ohio Sena
! tor firmly on record against a pro
i posal which has already won the
endorsement of Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York and Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief
i of staff.

LOCAL PARTY MAROONED
ON THE RAILROAD
Mr. and Mrs. O. S. Weaver and
Grant Jackson, who were on a
| hunting trip on the railroad Tues
day failed to return to town at the
scheduled time. Two parties head
ed by Art Hartford and Fred Hyde
left Wednesday to look for them
and located them at Slate Creek at
the camp of Gunaar Bowman,
where they had walked when
their railroad car broke down
about a mile above Slate Creek.
As a heavy snow had fallen in
the hills Tuesday night it had
been feared that they were ma
rooned because of snow on the
j tracks. They were brought to town
j by Fred Hyde last evening.
Shipments of Freight for Seattle
on the last boat of the season
should be delivered to our docks
not later than 12 noon, October 4.
