Atomic
Warfare
Feared
Explosion of Second
Bomb by Russia Cause
Of Much Speculation
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 — (.•?*) —
Russia has exploded a second atomic
bomb and is pushing ahead with
production of nuclear weapons, the
White House announced yesterday.
The announcement, coming just
two years and two weeks after
President Truman disclosed the first
atomic explosion in the Soviet, gave
no further details.
But the announcement, coupled
with other developments at home
and abroad, raised anew the ques
tion whether atomic warfare might
flare in Korea.
There Russia’s satellite troops
and United Nations forces are in
stalemated battle; bitter fighting
dnd mounting casualties bring
victory no nearer for either side.
In addition to announcement of
the new Russian bomb explosion,
there are these other facts;
1. An assertion by Senator Hic
kenlooper (R-Iowa), member and
former chairman of the Senate
House Atomic committee, that pow
erful new atomic weapons are avail
able for use In Korea' *hat he
favors using them; but that it is a
military decision.
2. The claim of Gen. Omar Brad
ley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, while on a Far East war
zone trip, that U.N. forces can
fight the war to a successful “mili
tary conclusion" if truce talks fai,
finally. The General did not make
any explanation of how this would
be done against a numerically su
perior enemy. Bradley returned to
Washington today after talks with
commanders in Korea.
Except for the single opening
sentence saying another bomb
has been exploded within the So
viet Union, the White House
statement issued at direction of
Trcsidcnt Truman contained no
details.
The balance of the brief state
ment was devoted to stressing
“again the necessity for that effec
tive, enforceable international con
trol of atomic energy which the
United States and a large majority
of the members of the United Na
tions support.”
However, White House use of the
phrase “atomic bomb" was signifi
cant. The President announced two
years ago—-on Sept. 23, 1949—that
evidence had been obtained of an
“atomic explosion.” He cautiously
refrained from use of the word
“bomb.” This time, the American
scientists whose duty it is to main
tain constant vigil for such things,
apparently were sure it was an ac
tual bomb.
Evidence Obtained
Apparently evidence of the re
lease of atomic energy into the
upper atmosphere, where traces
are picked up by delicatte instru
ments even though the explosion

J^ASHINGTON — Sen. Owen
Brewster of Maine is leading an un
dercover drive to depose GOP Na
• tional Chairan Guy Gabrielson—
because Gabrielson' won’t join the
covert anti-Eisenhower campaign.
This is what was back of the slam
bang attack on Gabrielson by iso
lationist Republican Senators Dirk
sen of Illinois, Welker of Idaho and
Jenner of Indiana, all faithful
friends of Brewster’s.
For some time there has been
bad blood between the amiable,
conservative Gabrielson^—who feels
he must be neutral as to all GOP
candidates—and Brewster, who is
both the strategist for extreme
right-wing forces in the Senate and
likewise Taft’s campaign adviser
Gabrielson is privately pro-Taft,
but he refused to go along on the
anti-Eisenhower smear campaign re
cently distributed in Maine.
In fact, Gabrielson told a Senate
elections subcommittee he was
"surprised and shocked” at the cir

Two Juneau Men
At Chamber Meet
A harrowing tale of adventure in
the Interior Alaska wilderness was
related today at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting when two Ju
neau men were presented with De
partment of Interior citations for
meritorious service.
Harry Johnson and Terrence
Robbins of the Bureau of Reclam
ation were members of a five-man
party sent to the upper Susitna
River in July to survey for possible
power sites. To save time and
money, the party decided to travel
in canoes down the river, a distance
of 125 miles of unknown gorges and
rapids.
On the second day, the canoes
were capsized by rapids and the
men reported that it took all their
strength to cling to the canoes and
keep their heads above water. The
river was so swift that the men were
swept four miles downstream before
they could let loose of the canoes
and swim to shore. A small amount
of equipment was found on the
river's sandbars and the men went
on short rations. In spite of the
mishap, the party decided to con
tinue the survey and one group
investigated the geology of the
lower river while the others com
pleted surveys for dam sites.
The first rescue party spotted the
men from a heliocopter but when
the pilot attempted a landing on a
sand bar, the 'copter was wrecked.
A plane from the 10th Air Rescue
i Squadron made a successful land
I ing and the party was taken to An
I chorage.
Both Juneau Men
Harry "Johnson was bom in Ju
| neau and was raised by Miss Minnie
'Field Children’s
home. He was graduated irom Ju
neau High School in 1942 and served
for three and a half years in the
U. S. Army.
Terrence Robbins has lived in
Juneau since 1949, when he was
transferred to Alaska office of the
Bureau of Reclamation from Wyom
ing. His former home was Circle,
Montana. He has a wife and two
children.
The formal presentation of the
award, which is the highest honor
given by the Department of the
Interior, was made by Joseph Mor
j gan, district manager of the bureau.
Outer Harbor Drive
Mayor Waino Hendrickson report
ed that the Alaska Public Works
has submitted to Washington, ap
plications for the construction of
an extension of the Juneau Bfoat
Harbor and the building of the out
er harbor drive in 1953.
Mayor Hendrickson stated that
the outer harbor drive would re
route traffic away from neighbor
hood districts and the new Juneau
Grade School and would provide
23 acres additional land for new
buildings. The outer harbor drive
would extend on filled in area irom
the Juneau Subport to Norway
Point on Glacier Highway.
In support of the project, Harold
: Foss stated that few critical ma
j terials would/ be needed for the
construction of the road and that
; the approximate cost would be $1,
500,000.
Late Closing Discussed
The Civic Affairs committee of
the Chamber recommended that
the closing hours for Juneau cock
tail bars be advanced from 1 a.m.
to 2 a.m. for week night and from
2 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Sundays. The
executive board modified the re
port asking that the Mayo." and
City Council make a stud/ of the
problem as there is a discrimination
against Juneau bar owners in favor
of establishments outside of the
city limits. The board recommended
that provisions be made for special
licenses to be granted for later c'.os

Fighting
Now Fierce
In Korea
Flame Throwing In
fantry Used to Make
Wedges in Red Defenses
U.S. 8TH ARMY HEADQUAR
TERS, Korea, Oct. 4—uT)—Flame
throwing Infantrymen from nine
United Nations burned two narrow
wedges in Chinese defenses on the
western front today in some of the
fiercest fighting of the Korean war.
But smashing Red counterattacks
stopped the two-day old Allied of
fensive cold along much of its 40
mile front.
Gains up to four miles-were ham
mered out in the two days. At
other points gains were so limited
the yardage was not announced.
See-saw battles ranged over all
of the shrub-covered hills in the
Imjin river sector northeast of
Kaesong, site of the disrupted
truce talks.
The Allied offensive was launched
by five divisions behind one of the
heaviest artillery barrages of the
war. American, British, Canadian,
Australian, New Zealand, Greek,
Turk, South Korean and Filipino
troops participated in the attack.
Tanks and planes supported them
The Chinese fought so stub
bornly from fheir deeply dug in
positions — they've been digging
in since truce talks started three
months ago — they had to burned
out by flame throwers or blasted
by hand grenades.
4 hundred TT.N planes rocketed
tombed, strafed and fire-bombed
the Chinese along the western
front.
The longest gains — two miles
Wednesday and two more Thursday
— were made by Canadians.
But American and Greek troops,
fighting over ridges west of Yon
chon in the center of the offensive,
were forced to make small with
drawals Thursday along a ten mile
sector.
Elks Honor Empire's
Elmer Friend, National
Newspaper Week
More than a million Elks through
out the nation are participating in
National Newspaper Week and Ju
neau Elks last night paid tribute
to newspapers generally and the
Dally Alaska Empire in particular
Principal speaker was R. E. Rob
ertson. who traced newspaper his
tory in Alaska and in Juneau and
described Elmer A. Friend of the
Empire as a ifewspaperman typical
of the Fourth Estate.
A purpose of the Elks’ national
observance is the passage of resolu
tions by lodges throughout the
country asking that the President
take immediate steps to effect the
release of Associated Press bureau
chief William N. Oatis, imprisoned
in Red Czechoslovakia on trump
ed-up charges of espionage. Juneau
Lodge 420 passed such a resolution
unanimously.
Robertson recalled the days when
this country’s foreign policy was
stronger; when indignities and in
justices to American citizens were
not tolerated nor permitted to con
I tinue and expressed the hope that
| the President would demand Oatis’
i release and in so doing, let the
j Czechs understand that Americans
will brook no further delay.
The large basket of chrysanthe
! mums' in the Empire’s front office
today is the gift of members of Ju
neau Lodge No. 420 with “congrat
ulations and best wishes on this
very special occasion.’’

Gabrielson
Is Seeking
Clearance
I GOP National Chairman
Wants Vindication on
RFC Charges
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—IJ’I—Guy
G. Gabrielson, Republican National
I Chairman, asked Senate investigat
ors today to clear him of any “tinge
j of Influence peddling, bribes" or
; other improper conduct in his con
; tacts with government agencies.
t Gabrielson made the plea In a
prepared ..tatement he filed with
j the committee as it opened an in
, ... -<wHi- "I1' ion* wiOl
! the Reconstruction Finance Cor
* poration (RFC.
At immediate issue is his role
i in negotiations concerning $18,
500,000 of RFC loans to Carthage
Hydrocol, Inc., of which he is pre
sident and general counsel.
Gabrielson denied his contacts
with RFC in connection with the
loans were improper. He said he
was appearing before the Senate
investigation's subcommittee at his
own request “to reiute slander with
facts.”
The GOP chairman referred
only obliquely to demands from
some Senate Republicans for his
resignation, but did declare he
will not quit under fire.
“It seemed to me that to resign
as Republican chairman in the hope
of saving my party embarrassment
would have been construed as an
admission of improper conduct,” he
declared.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Hoey (D-NC), billed to
day’s inquiry as parallel to one It
is conducting into the contacts be
tween William M. Boyle, Jr., Demo
cratic National chairman, and the
RFC.
Gabrielson, a portly man with a
crisp voice, acknowledged undit
oath that he had participated in
negotiations with the RFC for
modification of the terms of the
loans, but emphasized:
“In such discussions I neither
asked for nor received favors. These
were business details, discussed and
decided on their merits."
He said the last of the series cf
three loans themselves had been
made five months before he be
came the GOP chairman.
Boyle testified before the sub
committee previously.

President Truman said today thai
his executive order tightening con
trol over government informaticr
grew out of publication of 95 per
cent of our secrets "by the newspa
pers and slick magazines."
In a news conference whicl
started late and lasted longer thai
usual, the President sparred wit!
newspapermen over the order anc
declared he had no desire to sup
press freedom of speech.
The order was issued Sept. 25.
It empowers civilian as well as
military of the government
agencies to withhold information
whirh they think might endanger
the national security, and estab
I lishes uniform methods of "clas
! sifying" such information.
Although the President's an
j nouncement of the new order salt
censorship was not Involved. th<
order has been widely attacked bj
editors, publishers and many mem
bers of Congress as establishing cen
sorship at the source of informa
tion to which the public is en
titled.
Mr. Truman suggested today
that newsmen should withhold
even some Information made
available to them by authorized
government agencies.
Various reporters at the news con
ference then expressed' puzzlement
j over just what the President ex
pects of them.
Over and over again, the Presi
dent said 95 percent of all thi
country’s secret information has
been released in the press.
At one point he gave permission
for direct quotation when ne sale
! it had been published “in the slick
1 mngazines and the newspapers."
He did not give the newsmen anj
| specific guidance, however. He sug
1 gested that patriotism should gov
ern what they publish regardless
' of what they receive from govern
ment sources.

PLAY-BY-PLAY
Fir3t Inning
GIANTS—Reynolds- first pitch tc
Stanky was a fast ball that cut the
heart of the plate for a strike.
Stanky sent an easy roller to Riz
zuto who threw him out. Dark, hit
ting the first pitch, sent a soft fly
to Mantle. Thompson walked cn
five pitches. Irvin lined a single
over Coleman’s head for the first
hit off Reynolds in two consecutive
games. Allie had hurled a no
hitter against the Red Sox in his
last appearance of the regular sea
son Sept. 28. Lockman smashed a
ground rule double that bounced
into the left field seats scoring
Thompson. Irvin stopped at third.
Irvin took advantage of Reynolds’
semi windup and stunned the huge
crowd by stealing home. Irvin had
stolen home five times during the
regular season. Thomson walked
on five pitches. Mays raised a high
fly to Mantle in short right.
Two runs, two hits, no. errors,
two left on base.
YANKS — Koslo’s first pitch to
Mantle was an outside fast bail
and ball one. Thompson came in
fast for Mantle's fly to short right.
Rizzuto lined a single off the glove
of Dark who made a leaping try
and barely missed making a spec
tacular catch. Irvin raced back
to the furthest left field corner to
make a spectacular leaping catch of
Bauer's bid for a home run in front
of the 402-foot sign. DiMaggio raised
a high pop behind second bas3
that was caught by Thompson.
No runs, one hit, no errors, one
left on base.
; Second Inning
GIANTS — Westrum walked on
a full count. Koslo, attempting to
sacrifice bunted sharply to Reynolds
who threw to Rizzuto forcing West
nun at second. Stanky grounded

Dougald made a brilliant stop and
threw to Coleman forcing Koslo.
Coleman relayed to Collins at first
to double up Stanky.
No runs, no hits, no errors, nonj
left on base.
YANKS — Lockman scooped up
Berra’s hot smash down the first
base line and beat the runner for
the unassisted -putout. McDougald
lined a double off the low screen
L just inside the left field foul line.
Coleman singled to right sending
McDougald to third. When Thomp

ing up the ball, McDougald con
j tlnued home on Thompson’s error
for the Yankees’ first run. It was
not a run batted in for Coleman.
Collins grounded to Thomson who
threw to Stanky forcing Coleman.

Bobby Hogue and Tom Morgan
averted further scoring.
The clawing Giants, determined to
clinch baseball's greatest comeback
by winning their first series since
1933, had a man on base In every
inning except the seventh.
Played under cloudy skies that
threatened rain, the game was fin
ished under lights from the sev
enth Inning on. It packed little of
the drama of yesterday's playoff
clincher.
The most stirring moments came
in the first Inning when the late
arrivals still were hunting for their
seats. > ,
With two out, Reynolds walked
Hank Thompson. Irvin followed with
a single and Lockman bounced
a ground rules double into the
lower left field seats, scoring
Thompson.
On Reynold’s second straight
ball to Bobby Thomso i, Irvin lit
out for home to score without an
argument. It was the first steal
of home In a series since IM1
when two Yanks, Mike McNally
and Bob Meusel—pulled the trick
on the Giants.
Wobbling along the way, due to
his wildness, Reynolds escaped
further damage until the sixth.
Once again it struck with two out
when Dark blasted a homer into the
lower left field seats, scoring Wes
Westrum who singled and Eddie
1 Stanky who walked.
The Giants left 13 on base, only
; one short of a series record. Only
j in the seventh did they fail to get
at least one man on base. The
Yanks left nine, three in the second
when they had their big chance
I to get Koslo.

with one out. When Hank Thomp

| Joe Collins forced Coleman but
' Reynolds came through with a single
and Mickey Mantle walked to load
the bases.
Phil Rizzuto bounced to the box
to end the threat.
It was Reynold's first loss after
three series wins, and, Koslo’s first
appearance In a World Series.
