i House Loans
Another $100,000 for direct loans
from the Veterans Administration
for Alaska veterans housing has
been made available, according to
a wire received by Joseph Kehoe,
acting governor.
The wire, from the Veterans Ad
| ministration in Washington. D.C.,
! stated that the $100,000 was to help
take care of the backlog of loans
pending which were not taken care
of by a previous $100,000 allotted for
the purpose.
The telegram said that the VA
realized that the money would not
be sufficient for the purpose, but
that the $100,000 would be the last
available until other loans and in
* terest were paid.
The telegram stated that the
money was being allotted because
of the efforts of Territorial offi
cials. It was admitted that the
i unas will not 55VET the" needs, but
the VA contends that Alaska vets
are getting their share according
to World War II veteran population.
The wire stated, “Allocations were
made to regional VA offices accord
* ing to an equitable procedure based
upon the relation of estimated num
ber of World War II vets with re
maining entitlement in the local
L area.”
The Housing Act of 1951 provides
for an extension of direct loan priv
ileges for two years. Vets unable to
get full bank or FHA loans may
apply under the act for a direct
VA loan.
Atom Bomb Drop -
| Called Off as
Planes Poised
LAS VEGAS, Nev. Oct. 26—VPl—
A scheduled atomic bomb drop was
called off today with planes in the
air, presumably ready to loose their
nuclear weapons.
The AEC said storm conditions
over the big testing range north
: ► west of here failed to improve as
rapidly as had been expected.
A red-tailed B-29 was seen head
ing eastward shortly after restric
, tions on civilian aircraft in the
area were lifted. It presumably was
heading back to Kirtland Air Base,
N. M.
The AEC had scheduled the se
cond of a series of tests here after
rains and high winds subsided last
night. But officials felt today con
* ditions still were too unstable to
risk the possibility of atomic radia
tion being carried over Las Vegas
and other populated areas. Las
i Vegas is 75 miles away.
The AEC said no troops were
to be involved in tqday’s test.

TTaSHINGTON — Republican
9 pundits have now had time to take
careful soundings on the President’s
appointment of Gen. Mark Clark
to the Vatican and 'have conclud
ed that politically it will do the
Democrats more harm than good.
At first they feared the surprise
move would win the big-city Cath
olic vote back to the Democratic
Party—a vote which, because of
McCarthy’s semisuccessful cry of
State Department Communism, was
/* definitely slipping over to the Re
publican side. However, they now
figure that they can easily label
(he Truman gesture as politics, for
two reasons:
1. Although the President had
t lked to General Clark a couple
of weeks earlier and got his con
sent to serve as Vatican ambas
sador, he did’not send the appoint
ment to the Senate until late on
the last day Congress was in ses
*■ sion. Thus, GOP leaders intend to
point out, Mr. Truman pould not
have been too serious about getting
the new ambassador confirmed.

Vandals Damage
Forest Service
Shelters in Area
The Forest Service has construct
ed several cabins and shelters in
Southeast Alaska for public use, but,
according to Ranger Clyde Maycock,
a few malicious and thoughtless
persons are using parts of the
wooden structures for firewood, and
vandals are breaking windows out
I almost faster than they can be re
placed.
A release from Maycock states,
“the skaters cabin on Mendenhall
Lake is in continuous use through
out the year. So far this summer
the Forest Service has replaced
18 broken windows in the skaters
cabin. This past weekend, eight
more windows were broken out. If
these buildings are to be kept suit
able f public use, this malicious
destruction of property must stop."
Maycock says the cabins the For
est Service has built are used for
picnics, overnight shelters, hunt
ing trips, ski trips and ice-skating
parties, and the Forest Service hop
es to be able to maintain the build
ings at-a. suitable standard,_
Maycock has called for aid from
j all civic and social organizations
and the Teen-Age club to, “bring to
the attention of the few thought
less offenders the need for keeping
these recreation improvements use
able."
“It is disheartening to construct a
cabin and return a short time later
! to see that someone has taken the
shakes from the roof and sides for
firewood,” Maycock states. “There
are several cases where the floors
have been chopped up. At least one
boat has been cut up for fuel.”
Ranger Maycock says he feels
that it is a public duty to leave
these improvements in good order
after benefiting from their use.

Lyrics of 'Sweet
Violets' Banned;
What Are They!
DETROIT, Oct. 26—(#)—Lyrics' of
the song “Sweet Violets” have been
banned by both WWJ and WWJ
TV, the Detroit News, Harry Ban
nister, the station’s general manager
said today.
Playing of the song on the Wayne
King show last night on WWJ
TV resulted in its censorship after
the first verse. TV viewers saw in
stead a printed announcement say
ing the program was being edited
because the station considered cer
tain parts unfit for reception in
homes .
Bannister said the ban on “Sweet
Violets” came after a rash of ob
jectionable versions began to hit
the airwavs.

Appeal lo
President,
East Strike
NEW YORK, Oct. 26— (-«—Presi
dent Truman today was urged to
declare a national emergency and
invoke federal law to end the east’s
costly, 12-day dock strike.
In the face of the abandonment
of federal mediation efforts to set
tle the wildcat strike, the New
York Board of Trade wired the Pre
sident:
"Every lawful negotiated labor
contract in the country is in jeo
pardy unless New York pier strike is
stopped immediately.”
The appeal asked for “armed
forces to protect” the piers, and
to prevent strikers from interfer
ing with the handling of cargo.
In Washington, Attorney General
McGrath disclosed that the strike
which has paralyzed shipping in
New York and Boston harbors, was
the subject of a cabinet discus
sion.
But there was no Indication“of
any decision.
Nearly 30,000 dock workers—re
volting against their AFL union
leadership and a recently nego
tiated contract—have stalled more
than 100 ships, refusing to load or
unload them.
Cargo has piled up on the piers
at the rate of $25,000,000 worth a
day.
Labor Disputes
Hit 3 Vital
Atomic Plants
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. Oct. 26—(/P)— !
Labor disputes virtually halted work
on three vital atomic plant con-1
stricticn projects today.
Aa Atomic Energy Commission j
spokesman said more than 2,500 AFL j
workers failed to report for work, i
The mass walkout apparently wan|
caused by the posting of pickets ;
by the Plumbers Union, which only
yesterday had ended a two-day'
strike.
The plumbers placed pickets at all
entrances to Oak Ridge and also!
at gates to the restricted area which j
encloses the government’s three at- j
cmic installations here.

To Take Care
in Winter Travel
A report from the Alaska Road
Commission states that construc

winter travel.
Special warnings and information
was released to cold-weather trav
elers. Drivers were advised to be
sure their vehicles are in good con
dition and adequately protected for
winter operation.
"Efficient heaters are necessary
and chains should be carried at all
times,” the report said. “Local in
quiry should be made as to road
conditions before starting on trips,
as weather varies greatly during
winter months. With proper care
of vehicles and adequate personal
clothing and equipment, winter
travel can be pleasant and safe.”

Red Demands
On Buffer Zone
Call lor Retreat
MIJNSAN, Korea, Oct. 26-—<A>)—
The Allies tod|y quickly rejected a
Communist buffer zone proposal
that the U.N. give up such bitterly
won Korean areas as Heartbreak
Ridge . . . Punchbowl . . . Iron
Triangle.
The Reds wanted the United Na
tions forces to withdraw as much as
15 miles. Their proposal countered
yesterday's U.N. suggestion for a I
buffer zone generally along present
battle lines.
Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hotios told the
Reds their proposal bore “no rela
tionship to the military line of
contact and did not offer truce
protections."
The Communists made no men-1
tion of their previous demands for |
a ueriiarcatlon line along the 38th!
parallel. Apparently they have
abandoned the idea.
The Red offer and U.N. rejection i
came at the second meeting of,
subcommitees trying to agree on I
a cease-fire line. The meetings
are held in Panmunjom.
Under the Red proposal, they
would keep Kaesong, former site of
truce talks two miles south of the
38th parallel. They W’OUld with
draw from part of Ongjin peninsula
an the west coast, an area the
Allies describe as militarily unim
portant.
The subcommittees meet again at
11 a.m. Saturday (6 p.m., Friday,
PST).
It appeared the two delegations
were entering a period of horsetrad
ing.
But the U.N. spokesman, Brig.
Gen. William P. Nuckols, discounted
the idea there would be any large
scale bargaining.
"We will not trade territory simply
to be trading,” Nilckols said.

despair.
The Daily Express Jubilantly said:
This is the rout of Socialism.”
All the papers talked of a “swing
to ihe right."
The Daily Herald, staunch sup
porter of the Labor party, Saw the

Churchill, Conservative
Parly Returned lo
Power in Great Britain
LONDON. Oct. 26 .P Winstoni
Churchill returned to power In
Britain today. He led his Conser
vative party to victory over the
Labor government in a desperately
fought election that rung down the
curtain on six years of Socialist rule
but left the Tories far short of the
House of Commons, strength they
hoped for.
Churchill, Just turning 77. was
assured of a majority, or more
than 213 seats, in the House of
Commons. The exact size of the
Conservative majority will not be
known untir a few outlying dis
tricts report next week. But It
will be a slender margin — leav
ing possibly 300 seats to Clement
R. Attlee's Labor parly. This is
not much better than the thin
margin previously held by Attlee.
The result brought to a climax
six years of grim, unrelenting strug
gle by political warrior Churchill
Bgnin.it—Use—Boelnliot doctrines—et.
New Cabinet
To Be Formed
By Churchill
LONDON, Oct. 26—Winston
Churchill returned to power in
Britain today in a close victory over
the Labor party. King George VI
immediately asked the wartime
Prime Minister to form a new gov
ernment.
Back at the helm of Britain’s des
tiny for the first time since the
veters rejected him six years ago,
Churchill, smiling in triumph, went j
to Buckingham Palace to receive j
the King's order a short time after,
Prime Minister Attlee handed in'
hi! resignation, ringing down the
curtain on six years of Socialist rule.
Churchill, whose Tories won out
after a desperately fought election
campaign, prepared to form n gov
ernment whose margin In the House
of Commons was far short of what
he had hoped fcr.
Hard-Fought Elution
Churchill, grinning, made a sur- |
prise appearanee at Conservative
headquarters last night to congratu- j
late party workers on their "mag- 1
nificent performance."
"It's been a very hard-fought elec- j
tion and the results yet incomplete |
show the great efforts you have
made have not been unavailing,”
Churchill said. “We shall use not
only opr party strength but the
great strength of this country to
bring about a restoration of Brit
ain’s fortunes.” '
The "working majority," so vital
to a government, will be as difficult j
for the Tories to maintain as it1
was for Labor. I
The popular vote gave an accur
ate reflection of the sharp cleavage
in British public opinion over the |
success or failure of the great ex-,
periment in Socialism.
Most probably, the deciding fac
tor that threw this election to the;
Conservatives was the absence of;
Liberal party candidates in more
than 500 of the nation's total 625
districts. The Liberals put only'
109 candidates in the field.
In those areas where a straight
Tory-Labor fight developed, it ap
peared that moat of the Liberal
votes went to the Tories. An analy
sis of the figures indicated about
two out of every three Liberals voted
for Churchill's party.
Even so, it was a neck-and-neck
race right down to the wire.

the Labor party, which Imposed

terprise.
With returns in from 804 of the
nation’s 625 districts, the Conserva
tives held 310 seats in the House.
Labor had 288 seats, the waning
Liberal party, four, and others, tWo.
In percentages, the Conservatives
had won 48.5 of the total known
popular vote, the Socialists 49.1 and
the Liberals 2.4.
Churchill was Jubilant — and
grateful. Speaking to his cett
siltuents at Woodford, where He
was reelected to Parliament, He
said:
“You have given me Wonderful
support. It never reached a
higher pinnacle than It did to
day.”
With the Conservatives beck in
control, it was certain that flhiirpT. .
hill would be chosen by the|n to
resume the post of Prime Minister.
This is the office he* held thrdugh
out World War II and lost in
August. 1945, when a Socialist tidal
wave swept his government out of
office.
He told British voters, during the
campaign, that putting an end to
the cold war with the Communist
world is “the last prize I seek to
win.” This effort, and the modi
fication of Socialist structures On
business and industry, undoubtedly
will engage his attentions Imme
diately.
May Resign Soon
He may then step out of office'
in favor of his closest associate,
Anthony Eden, who is reported
slated for his former post of For
eign Secretary. Rumors to that
effect were current In London even
before the electioneering began.
Attlee now becomes the leader of
“His Majesty’s loyal opposition," g
position held by Churchill for the
past six years.
Attlee is expected to offer his
resignation soon — perhaps to
