LET US ASSIST CIVILIAN DEFENSE
PLANS
Civilian defense in Juneau will mean just as much
as every person in Juneau will contribute to civilian
defense plans.
R. E. Robertson, appointed by Mayor Wainr
Hendrickson to be director of the local civilian de
fense council, has asked for cooperation from his cap
tains in making plans for possible emergency evacua
tion.
There are 40 captains for the Juneau, Douglas
and Thane areas—32 have been appointed for Juneau
—and it is the captains who are charged with con
tributing evacuation plans to the civilian defense
heads.
According to a recent column by Drew Pearson,
citi's from coast to coast have made plans to protect
their citizens in case of possible attack.
Anchorage advertises its “blackout regulations,”
effective whenever there is an alert. Purpose of the
regulations is to "conceal targets from visual ob
servation by the enemy, thereby reducing the ef
fectiveness of the attack.”
Effectiveness of Juneau's civilian defense is up
to each and every one of us. Upon our willingness
to cooperate with Mr. Robertson and his appointed
captains, may depend our safetty in case of emer
gency.
No one is looking for that emergency, but ignor
ing the possibility of an emergency will not pre
vent it.
Let us all do what we can to assist the civilian
defense council.
So Many Russian Mistakes
(Seattle Times)
U. S. intelligence officers seem to think that in
stallations discovered at Hungam, in North Korea,
may have been associated with Russian atomic energy
developments. It is difficult to believe that Soviet
authorities deliberately would choose a site so ex
posed, from a military standpoint. Yet, in the record
of recent years, there have been so many Sovld
mistakes that it is difficult to apply the rule sof
logic to what has happened or what may happen
next.
To go back no farther than Korea, the Russians
guess that the United States would accept the North
Korean attack calmly was far from the mark. The
earlier Russian boycott of the Security Council made
t possible for immediate United Nations support to
be given to South Korea.
Previously, Politburo reasoning had proved equally
•vrong. The British blockade backfired badly; so did
he strike epidemics visited upon France and Italy.
The mysterious installations at Hungam may be
s “fantastic” as press dispatches say, but they
• robably can be explained much more readily than
he enigma of Soviet master-minding.
Now It’s Their Turn
(Seattle Times'*
An American precedent is broken with the reg
istration this week of certain doctors, dentists and
veterinarians for Selective Service. The act requiring
it is the first in the country's history to single out
particular professions for conscription. An attempt
was made toward the close of the Second World War
to draft women nurses, but it was dropped as the war
ended.
There is a certain justification for this course.
Men who had specialized training in the various armed
services in the last war had a minimum of military
duty. Others were deferred from war service to con
tinue medical, dental and veterinary training. These
are the two classes that are required to register now.
It is hard for them to interruDt careers that have
just begun but it seems to be their turn.

tr.d i-leaded in broken English: "My |
ab , she is sick" Others wept quiet-1
*
A pretty, 23-year-old German
war bride, her eyes afloat, clutched j
a ii:iy bouquet of flowers. Her
ex-UI husband had given them to
her at the deck, then she had
been whisked off to Ellis Island.
G. I. Husband Waits
‘My husband is at the dock. .
she sniffled. “Only five minutes. . .
I see him only five minutes."
Ker name was Henny Jacobsen—'
Mrs. Fred Jacobsen, she added i
th. ugh the tears. She met Fred iiij
E. n, Germany, after the war.]
Th: y were married in 1948, came to
America and settled down in Balti
moi ?. She was supposed to become
an Amercian citizen In December.
Then her mother sufiered a stroke,
and Henny sailed back to Germany
this summer to be at her side.
The guards asked Henny not to
cry. They even triad to locate her
husband by telephone.
“\ve d n’t iike this any better
than you,” said one, gently.
Later in the afternoon Henny
was sworn in and faced an ex
am, ner.
“X was not a Nazi. I told the man
on tiie boat I was not a Nazi,” she
pleaded.
But it turned out that Henny had
joined a gills’ group in school at
the age of ten. It was on the list
of Hitler organizations.
Though Henny had been forced
to join and had quit as soon as she
left school, the lav; made no excep
tions. So the examiner intoned that
hir citizensh p could not be granted
Temporary Stay
Then, as she sobbed quietly, he
dropped his formal manner and
urged her not to worry. Attorney
General McGrath, he said, had
mercifully decn .1 that immigrants
who had held onl. nominal” mem
bership in to tali to ■ ion organizations
ccuid be admitted for six months.
By that time, maybe Congress
would change the law.
It was the same story for elderly
Mr. ar.d Mrs. Fritz Vassal who
had come to live with their daugh
ter Mrs. Liessclote Masia of Chi
cago.
"My employer (in Germany) told
me that if I wanted to work for
him I must be registered for the
; i Party” Mr. Vassal a frail ex
c:i ffeur told the examiner. In
spit of this, he became so disgust
ed with the Nazis that he pulled
out in 1938.
“A very good friend—he had a
Jewish wife—and I like them so
much that I said I am not going to
belong to the Nazi party,” Mr. Vas
sal shrugged. "I went to the party
and I told them I don’t want to be
a member any more.”
The Vassals, too, got six months’
grace, but, under the law, they can *
stay in this country.
Slx-Hear-Old Blackshot
Probably the most pathetic case
was Antonio De Maria and his
pregnant 22-year old wire who had
left Italy in search of oecr.o'mi'’
freedom, only to ba stopped at El
lis Island.
The expectant mother, her eyes
wet, admitted that she had belong
ed to a Fascist organizatiin—at the
age of six.
"While I attended school, because
ail students were compelled to be
lo-’g to seme Fascist youth move
ment, I enrolled at the age of six
as a member cf Baliila,” she con
fessed.
This small confession will send
her back to Italy in six months—
unless the McCarran Act is amend
ed.
"Er.t my child will be an Ameri
can citizen,” she smiled triumph
cuiuy.
Those immigrants who had been
approved for six months gathered
up their frayed bundles and board
ed an acient ferry for the New York
mainland. As the boat pushed
through the congested harbor a
handful of immigrants left behind
pulled out white handkerchiefs and
waved pathetically. They didn't stop
waving until the ferry touched the
other side.
But the accepted immigrants were
already thronging eagerly in the
bow. When the docking was com
pleted, they burst headlong off the
ferry and raced on the mainland,
shouting joyfully. They had reached
America.
Note—In six months, however,
they will be sent back—unless Con
gress changes the law it passed dur
ing the pre-election hysteria.

EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 24 — UP) — A
proposed Alaska tour for the Eu
gene High School band next spring
drew criticism from three parents
at a school board meeting Monday
night.
One of the three, Roy Wise,
charged that selection of the band
members who would make the
trip is based on the ability of stu
dents’ parents to help “day and
night” in money-raising projects
for the trip.
Phil Cass, another parent, said
music training for the majority oi
the band students would be neg
lected in favor of those who would
make the concert tour.
The parents urged that the tour
be cancelled.
last year seme of the band stu
dents made a tour similar to the
one proposed for next spring.
School beard members decided
to invite interested persons to the
next board meeting, Nov. 27, to
discuss the tour, before taking any
action on the request to cancel
the trip.

A report reached Juneau late in the afternoon from Whitehorse
■via Skagway that Pilot E. J. A. Burke’s plane had been located at the
headwaters of the Liard River, wrecked, in wild country. Pilot Everett
Wasson, flying a Traedwell-Yukon Company’s plane spotted the wreckage
on a search for he missing plane. He and his companion Joe Walsh,
experienced woodsman, were to return to the site and would have to
mush about 15 miles to the wrecked plane where it was hoped some
message may have been left by Burke to indicate where he and his two
companions, Emil Kading and Bob Marten, might have attempted
to go.
