YEAR THREE — KOREAN WAR
Today marks the second aniversary of the Korean
War. During that period U.S. Navy aircraft have de
livered more bombs and rocket tonnage, and fired
more ammunition than they did in the four years of
World War II.
The combined fleet of Military Air Transport
Service planes, leased U.S. commercial carriers and
U.N. transports, have delivered more than 100,000 tons
of cargo, mail, passengers and patients.
Field Marshal Earl Alexander, British Defense
Minister, recently completed an inspection of the Ko
rean battlefield and announced that the Allied posi
tion was a stronger one than he had imagined when
he left London. Lord Alexander, who was probably
the most popular British commander with American
officers in World War II, believes a new Communist
offensive would be brought to a halt with heavy losses.
Alexander's words of encouragement about the
tactical situation are heartening, although the tough
British defense official would not make a prediction
on the outcome of armistice negotiations. When asked
about these negotiations, he said only: “My guess is no
better than yours ... If they want an armistice, they
can get it.”
It has been pretty obvious so far that the Chinese
do not want an armistice and about the only thing the
United Nations can do in Korea is to continually apply
military pressure on the Communists, perhaps expand
ing it in an effort to force the Communists to seek an
armistice. Just how much force, and additional force,
is needed in this effort is a delicate question and one
which may involve the lives of thousands of Americans.
“IN THIS CORNER —THE PEOPLE”
We Americans have been taking a beating from
an opponent who never fights fair. This opponent
strikes at women, children and old folks, as well as
men in the prime of life.
This opponent is called cancer.
Our best defense is knowledge. Thousands of Am
ericans lick cancer every year simply by knowing three
things:
1— That most cancer can be cured, if caught early.
2— That early cancer betrays itself by what the
American Cancer Society calls the “seven danger
signals.”
3— And that it is of vital importance to see the
doctor immediately, should one of these danger sig
nals develop.
The counterattack against cancer consists of
scientific research and the dissemination of life-saving
facts about cancer.
In this all-out battle, the American Cancer So
ciety is leading the attack. This independent volun
tary organization is fighting to control cancer on three
fronts—through research, education and service for
cancer patients.
Strike back. Guard those you love, by making a
generous contribution to the American Cancer Society.
Nome’s campaign starts today!_

Harriman In Favor Of
Statehood For Alaska
SEATTLE, (/P)—Averell Harri
man, Mutual Security Agency di
rector and candidate for the Dem

said here Tuesday he favors state
hood for Alaska.
At a news conference, he de
scribed development of the terri

to the nation.
He said statehood would con
tribute to the security of Alaska
by getting more people interested
in settling there, developing it,
and participating in political life.
Plankton, the small life which
lives in sea water, is consumed
by larger sea animals much as
grass is eaten by land animals.
Mine Superintendent Says
Ship Strike May Prevent
Increase of Tin Output
Paul Sorepson, superintendent
of the U.S. Tin Co. at Lost River,
stated yesterday at the Chamber
of Commerce luncheon that:
“The shipping tie-up will slow
down operations for a year and
although we are shipping in by
air the absolute necessities, unless
we get a boat with supplies, we
cannot increase our output of tin
and tungsten. We are putting out
a ton a day and hope to increase
to 150 tons a day.”
Partial relief was reported by
the N. C. Store and U. S. Mer
cantile Co., who stated they had
chartered planes to bring meat
but the public would have to
brace themselves for higher pric
es as the freight rate on the char
ter flight was at least 50 percent
higher than the normal rate.
Special meetings were an
nounced for the Chamber Board
to try to find a workable plan to
get the mining season open before
it is too late and working men
and their families find themselves
! without funds to survive the win
ter.
Kay Kennedy, feature writer
I for the Fairbanks News-Miner,
i was a guest of the Chamber.
She covered the meeting ^and
promised to give publicity in
Fairbanks not only to the boat
crisis but to the situation caeated
by lack of a judge appointment
since last fall.
Emerick Kauzlarick, auditor for
the N. C. Co., and George Losch
kiwitch of U. S. Tin and Mrs.
Paul Sorenson were also guests.
