YUKON RIVER CONTEST
NOW UNDER WAY
Two specially-built clocks that
will record the exact second of
the Yukon River’s breakup at
Tort Yukon this spring are now
on display at the J. Vic Brown
and Son’s jewelry store in An
chorage. •
The eight-day clocks were con
structed by the Time Equipment
Co. of Seattle, and both include
11-jewel Seth Thomas movements
which timekeepers rate as among
Alaska Crippled Children's Ass'n.

The closing date for depositing
of the dance tickets in the con
tainer is APRIL 10, 1951
the world’s most accurate.
Larger of the two has a 15-inch
dial and is electrically operated.
A pin on the side of the big clock
will trip the pendulum the second
the tripod on the Yukon’s ice
starts to move.
The manually operated small
clock will give a double check on
the time. Special locks have been
constructed in the cases of both
clocks so there can be no inter
ference with the time.
Sponsored by the McKinley
Foundation, Inc., a non-profit or
ganization, the Yukon River
Break-Up guessing contest will
result in the Alaska Crippled Chil
dren’s Association getting one
half of the proceeds and the
lucky guesser getting one-half.
WILL EISENHOWER
RUN FOR PRESIDENT?
•PARIS, (^)—Will General Eis
enhower run for president of the
United States next year? and if he
does will he be a Republican or
a Democrat?
These questions keep cluttering
up a big part of conversations
about Ike here in Paris where he
has the headquarters for his At
lantic army.
At headquarters itself, the an
swer always is “No comment. No
reaction.”

Korea Front Lines
By Olen Clements .
TOKYO, </P)—General MacAr

fighting front in Korea today and
found “everything going well.”
The United Nations command
er jeeped to within 2,000 yards of
the battle line south of Chunchon.
More than 200,000 Chinese Reds
were massed along that line for a
last-ditch defense of the base they
must hold to stay below iPara
llel 38.
MacArthur said his visit to Kor
ea—the 13 th of the war—was
just a routine trip to see my did
friends, the Marines." He added:
“I found- them in splendid
shape, just as always. Everything
on the front is going well."
A United Nations’ intelligence
officer in Seoul said there were
signs the hard-pressed Commu
nists soon may be forced to pull
north of 38, the did boundary be
tween North and South Korea.
But south of Chunchon, the
hard - fighting Communists drove
off U.N. patrols probing their out
er defenses.
