Over 2 Thousand
Dollars Turned
!n( Seoul Drive
The sum of $2,034 was turned in
at the first report meeting for the
current Boy Scout campaign, ac
cording to A. B. Phillips, chairman.
High team in yesterday’s check-in
was Team 9. captained by Norman
Sommers, and team members Gil
Koffil, John Satre Jr., William
Goodman, and Ted Lupro. Team 9
accounted for $250 of the total, with
team 1, led by captain Ray Bolton,
having second best total of $203.
High man in the first report was
Bill Ellis, who checked in $122 for
team 1. Norman Sommers was sec
ond, with $111, and J. B. Durney was
third, reporting a total of $104.
Team 9 had the distinction of
having all of its members make
their first report at the "coffee
hour” check-in meeting. The Gov
ernment and Special division, co
chairmanned by Ralph Browne and
W. A, Elkins has turned in $207 to
date, and the Executive Committee
for the campaign accounts for $610
of the total.
About half of the workers have
made their first report, Phillips
said, with every indication that
this year’s final result will equal
that for 1950 when Juneau and
Douglas contributed $5,559.62 in the
annual campaign.
All campaign workers having
money to check in during the com
ing week are asked to leave their
report envelopes with Ken Ubbel
ohde at the Boy Scout office in
the Goldstein Building, with John
Durney at Behrends Bank, or with
Tom Cashen at the First National
Bank. Individuals missed in the
solicitation may mall contributions
to the Boy Scouts at box 2508,
Phillips said.

Keys Hills
Abandoned
By Chinese
Allied Forces Keep
Crunching Forward
Toward Stronghold
U. S. 8th ARMY HEADQUART
ERS, Korea, Oct. 18—OPI—Chinese
suddenly abandoned a series of key
hills in western Korea to attacking
Americans today. But they stiffened
against allies crunching forward to
ward their Kumsong stronghold in
the center.
Troops of the U. S. First Cavalry
Division overran four hills north
west of Yonchon almost unopposed.
The Americans had been fight
ing for the ridge line for two
weeks in one of the bloodiest
small actions of the entire Unit
ed Nations autumn offensive.
Chinese deserted the western hills
during the night after beating
off a series of flame-throwing at
tacks Wednesday.
The doughboys fanned out over
the charred, artillery-scarred ridge
virtually without firing a shot.
The unopposed advance place the
cavalry troopers about two miles
in front of their positions of Oct.
3 when the UN western offensive
started.
A front line officer said the op
eration "to all practical intents and
purposes is complete.”
From the center of the Korean
front AP correspondent Sam Sum
merlin reported a “curtain of smoke
from bursting UN shells and bombs
rose like a sweeping forest fire"
in front ol allied infantrymen ad
vancing on Kumsong.
After flying over the area, Sum
merlin wrote:
“Kumsong looked like a ghost
town.”
Council for Civil
Defense Meets; New
Committee Plans
A meeting of the Civil Defense
Council in the Governor’s office on
Monday, October 15, decided on the
necessity of a committee whose
action will be in a purely advisory
capacity to the Civil Defense Coun
cil.
The committee will advise the
council on the best means of hand
; ling a financial emergency that
might come as the result of a hos
tile attack where -banks are des
troyed and both businesses and in
dividuals would find themselves in
immediate need of obtaining credit.
It was also decided to approve
the expenditure of not to exceed
$10,000 for the purchase of training
aids on a matching fund basis. First
priority was given to the needs of
the more. critical areas.
Members present were J. W. Ke
hoe, acting governor, Dr. C. Earl
Albrecht, commissioner of health,
Colonel L. Johnson, adjutant gen
eral, ANG., Frank Metcalf, high
way engineer, Tom Dyer, member at
large.
Others present were Colonel Earl
Landreth, Territorial director of
Civil Defense and Burke Riley.
Fish Peddling by
Union Spreading
In California
LOS ANGELES, Oct 18——'The
International Longshoremen and
Warehousemen Union’s experiment
in fish-peddling is so successful that
outlets are springing up throughout
California.
Already in the Los Angeles area
12 outlets are being mobbed by
housewives after choice, fresh alba
core tuna at 25 cents per pound.
"We plan to continue selling until
the tuna season is over,” said Jeff
Kibre, secretary of the ILWU’s fish
eries division. This may be next
week or well into November.
The union has prepared a series
of recipes for cooking and canning
he big fish—they average from nine
to 20 pounds—and a copy of the
recipes goes with each sale.
It all started because canneries
were buying frozen tuna from
Japan in preference to the fresh
catches of American fishermen,
said Kibre. "So we decided to use
American initiative and create our
own market,” he explained.
All fishermen, regardless of union
affiliation, are invited by the ILWU
to participate. The ILWU pro
gram pays a minimum of 15 cents
a pound to the fishermen. Kibre
said, compared with 11V4 cents paid
by canneries.
Guardsman Denies
Police Charges
Octavius Hayward, seaman from
the Coast Guard Cutter, the Storis,
denied in municipal court Wednes
day that he was involved in the
car wreck from which four charges
he is faced with grew.
His trial was continued to today.
He is charged by police with taking
a fellow Coast Guardsman’s car,
and wrecking it against a fire plug
and a private dwelling n Willough
by Avenue on 9ct- ®
Hayward claims he was restrict
ed to quarters on that night and
did not leave the Storis. His officers
say that it is true that he was re
stricted to quarters, but police say
they have proved that it was pos
sible for him to leave the ship.
Evidence from tide tables, police
say, show that Hayward could eas
ily have left the ship without pass
the Quartermaster.
Wills, Insurance Are
Discused at JWC Meeting
Members of the Juneau Woman’s
Club acquired important informa
tion yesterday afternoon about the
making of wills and the kind of in
surance that will guarantee protec
tion to themselves and also their
loved ones.
P. O. Eastaugh preceded his talk
with a short history of the making
of wills and H. S. Rowland who
spoke on insurance illustrated his
talk with chalk and blackboard.
Both men devoted considerable time
to an informal discussion of points
raised by questions from their list
eners, and the program proved to
be one of the most interesting of
the year.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. Don Morrison and the host
esses at the dessert luncheon which
preceded the program were Mrs.
C. V. Rudolph and Mrs. M. O.
Johnson.

Russian Compact
Worth Nothing,
Says President
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—IM—Pre
sident Truman said today he is
sticking to his statement that a
Russian agreement is not worth the
paper it is written on.
That was the President’s only
comment on Soviet foreign minister
Vishinsky’s statement that U.S.
Soviet relations could hardly be
worse than they are now after Mr.
Truman had said in a speech that
Soviet agreements are not worth the
paper they are written on.
Vishinsky made the crack in a
note rebuffing a secret U. S. pro
posal that Moscow act to bring
about an armistice in Korea. He
suggested instead talks on the
general causes of cast-west con
flict.
Mr. Truman told a news confer
ence he had not yet seen the Soviet
note an<l he couldn't comment on it.
Initial State Department reaction
was that this oifer was propa
ganda, but the wording of the Rus
sian note was such as to set off
guessing among diplomats as to
whether the Kremlin is sincere.
Moscow and the State Depart
ment disclosed last night that
Ambassador Alan Kirk on Oct. 5
made the approach for Soviet in
tervention to end the deadlock
between United Nations negotia
tors and the Communists.
Soviet Foreign Minister Vishin
sky gave no direct reply, but he
noted that Russia is "not a party
to these negotiations.”
He also: (1) charged the UN com
mand created the cease-fire stale
mate with “all kinds of incidents;”
(2) supported the North Korean
Chinese position regarding a truce
line in the area of the 38th paral
led; and (3) offered the Soviet’s
"full and energetic support" of mea
sures for the “the successful conclu
sion of negotiations — successful
presumably from the Red viewpoint.

Woman Beaten to
Death, Frenzied
Religious Cult
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 18—M—
The second victim of a frenzied re
ligious cultist died early today as
members of the weird sect sought to
explain their whipping rites by
quoting Bible passages.
Her back a mass of bloody welts
from repeated lashings with a
three-foot-long whip, Mrs. Ardith
Lennander, 35, succumbed. Mrs.
Anna Halvorson, 64, who had also
been whipped, was found dead yes
terday.
Sheriff Thomas Gibbons was
holding without charge Mrs. Len
nander’s husband, Curtis, 33, who,
the sheriff said, freely admitted in
a tape-recorded statement that he
whipped the two women during a
sect meeting Monday night.
Sect members pointed to the
words of Proverbs (20:30) in an ef
fort to explain the whippings. The
passage says, "The blueness of a
wound cleanseth away evil and so
do stripes the inward parts of the
belly.”
