'Maynard-MacDougall Memorial Hospital Dedication
The dedication of the Maynard MacDougall Memorial
Hospital tomorrow morning will be a history-making
event in the rebuilding of a modern Nome and a per
manent Nome.
The Woman’s Division of Christian Service of the
Methodist Church, through the efforts of Mrs. Robert
Stewart, secretary of the Medical Bureau, has made
this hospital possible. Co-operation of the community
with its voluntary fund, the estate of “Cappy” MasDou
gall, as well as Federal funds made available through
the Territorial Department of Health, has made it pos
sible for this society to serve the whole of the Second
Division of Alaska with the finest and most modem
hospital in the Territory.
The people of Nome and the people of the various out
lying villages are grateful to this world-wide organiza
tion of Christian women who have built this lasting
symbol of Christian love and service to humanity.
They are also grateful for the untiring efforts and in
spiration of Mrs. Robert Stewart, Secretary of the Med
ical Bureau of the organization who has given so much
■of her time to this project. |
And to the staff of the hospital who work with us, we
also take this opportunity of expressing appreciation.

BREAK UP BIG ESTATES
The Earl of Harewood, a nephew of King George, of
Great Britain, and eleventh in the line of succession to
the throne, has recently sold seven thousand of the twen
ty-two thousand acres that he inherited upon the death
of his father.
The Earl has been forced to break up his holdings by
“the burden of death duties,” which we know as inheri
tance taxes. The assessment against his estate was about
one third of the estate’s valuation of $2,196,480.
The news item is interesting because it illustrates the
impact of inheritance taxes upon the ancient estates of
Great Britain. It means, eventually, the breaking up of
large estates and the selling of land in small parcels to
the tenants, whose families have occupied the land for
many, many years.
Many a man is ready to serve his community if the
people of the community will do what he tells them
to do.

Korean Situation
At A Glance - - -

which the planners of the com
munist invasion obviously had de
pended—hampered air operations
at the fighting front, but planes,
including B-29’s, were in action,
hammering bridges and other
strategic targets. Mustang F151
fighters, slower and with greater
range than the jets, are on the
way to support the ground forces.
Seven American airlines have
contracted with the U. S. defense
department to shuttle men and
supplies to the Pacific theater.
The carrier Bataan is on the
high seas, probably bound for the
war area. More B-29 superforts—
the ar force would not say how
many—took off last night from
Spokane, Wash., for advance Pa
cific bases. Others left Spokane
Tuesday night.
Vice Adm. Arthur O. Struble
said in Tokyo his U. S. Seventh
Fleet, charged with guarding Chi
nese Nationalist'Jteki Formosa
from communist invasion, could
discharge this task and still strike
North Korea.
At Lake Success, veteran ob
servers looked for a long and hard
campaign to turn back communist
aggression in Asia, and stressed a
need for a strong U. N. police
force. In the belief that the Kore
ai war will continue for some
time, the U. N. is preparing quiet
ly the framework for as effective
a police force as it can muster.
The security council meets tomor
row with most delegates favoring
Gen. MacArthur as U. N. com
mander.
President Truman is expected
to ask Congress soon for funds
for an intensive “campaign of
truth” in Korea and other critical
areas of the East-West struggle,
to counter the powerful Soviet
propaganda drives.
Britain’s policy of aid to South
Korea won smashing support in
the House of Commons, with Win
ston Churchill’s Conservatives
giving the Labor Government un
qualified support. Churchill said
yesterday a communist sweep
over all South Korea would bring
on World War III.
HONGKONG, (£>)—The British
owned Hong Kong Airways said
two planes bearing strange mark
ings today fired on one of its
transports off the Chinese com
munist port of Swatow.
Six passengers were aboard the
transport bound for Taipei, For
mosa.
No one was hurt, said M. J. C.
Auster, manager of the airline.
The incident, he said, took place
about 25 miles off the Chinese j
mainland. He said the planes
fired three machinegun bursts— j
but presumably only as a warn- j
ing. Then they disappeared.
JAPAN, {&)—Pilots of* F-80 jet
fighters returning from sorties
over South Korea tonight reported
about 10 Red Korean heavy tanks
poised north of Pyongtaek.
Bill Jessup, McGraw-Hill cor
respondent, said the fliers have
seen the big tanks lined up on the
hignway like sitting ducks for two
days. But their rocket attacks
have not knocked out any of the
tanks.
The pilots said these tanks were
larger than any seen previously
employed by the northerners.
