Galena “Repulses”
5-Day “Attack”
FAIRBANKS, (/P>—An isolated
Alaska air base, supplied entirely
by air, successfully withstood a
five-day “attack” by an invasion
force of Alaska Command troops
in the first large scale winter
maneuvers of Exercise Yukon,
base headquarters reported yester
day.
Temperatures dropped to 26 be
low zero during the activities at
the Galena air field on the Yukon
river, 375 air miles from the Big
Delta operating base.
-The 250 men of the 23rd infan
try regiment of the Second Divi
sion were under command of Capt.
Earl Acuff, wartime officer of the
Alaska scouts. They were trans
ported to Galena by a 12th air
force troop carrier group after an
“intelligence report” of an ap
proaching invasion force.
Throughout the five-day man
euver, which was watched by 10
observers from the army’s re
search and development board,
the defenders of the air strip were
supplied by a fleet of C-82 packet
planes. The supply planes had to
evade P-80 jet fighters to reach
the Galena area.
The Galena air field was an
emergency stop-over point in war
time for lend-lease planes ferried
to Siberia by Russian pilots.

Household Hints
The person who has a cold
should cover coughs and sneezes
and make sure that the handker
chief used for the purpose is not
ieft around carelessly.
In uncooked food, such as vege
table juice cocktails, add dried
herbs well in advance—even over
night—to release their full flavor.
To prevent specks in the finished
dish, tie herbs in a bit of muslin
and remove before serving.
Navy Bans
Secret Society
*"——
, WASHINGTON, <£>>—'The navy
today issued orders banning for
ever the 40-year-old Annapolis se
cret society known as the “Green
Bowl,” because of “rumor and
speculation" that its members had
the inside track for promotions
and high-ranking jobs.
A navy “memorandum” to the
press” said there is no evidence
that the group had any such influ
ence. But there had been, it add
ed, an “adverse effect to a limited
degree on service morale, because
of the fear of the potentialities of
an alleged self-serving secret so
ciety.”
| The report said a total of 156
, naval and marine officers now on
' active duty belonged to the Green
Bowl in midshipmen days. Armed
, forces, an unofficial service publi
cation, said recently 18 of these
i are admirals.
A full-scale investigation of the
Green Bowl was ordered after
| Capt. J. G. Crommelin, Jr., testi
fied before a Congressional com
mittee that it was an innocently
i started organization "grown vi
i cious with the years.”

Likens de Gasperi
To Mussolini.
ROME, </P)—Communist leader
Palmiro Togliatti wrote in the
Communist newspaper Unita yes
terday that Premier Alcide de
Gasperi’s speech Monday was
“very similar in form to the
speeches of Mussolini in the first
year of his government.”
De Gasperi had told his Chris
tian Democrat party the nation
wide violence stirred by leftists
would not scare him from office.
“Everything that is conserva
tive, backward, reactionary and
rotten in Italian society responds
to him,” the communist publica
tion asserted as the Italian left
ists’ war of nerves entered its
second week and moved into the
halls of parliament.
