iteno Deputy and
Wife Visiting Here
With Thompson
Apparently on a "busman’s” holi
day. Hubert. Boyd was a visitor in
the U.S. Marshal's office yesterday
morning.
Boyd is a deputy U.S. Marshal
from Reno, Nev., and arrived here
Saturday with Mrs. Boyd, to be
house guests of Deputy Marshal
and Mrs. Sidney J. Thompson for
two weeks.
Boyd and Thompson met two
years ago when both attended a
school for deputy marshals at Mc
Neill Island pentientiary In Wash
ington.
Before becoming one of Nevada’s
deputies Boyd spent four years in
the U.S. Army. He was with the
Infantry in the famed 84th division
which took part in many battles
in Germany during World War II.
Just before coming to Alaska
Boyd was elected president of the
Nevada Peace Officers' Association
which held its annual convention in
Loveland.
Asked about law enforcement and
crime in the noted gambling city
and Nevada, Boyd said "it keeps us
pretty busy.” He added that al
though Nevada is a beautiful state
“we think Alaska is a great coun
try.”

4-H Club Meeting
Each member of Mendenhall
4-II Club for boys, at our recent
business meeting, with great de
light and interest held i n his
hands the big check of $150.00,
which we won for first prize for
the most original float in the 4th
of July parade.
Jack Weisgerber, secretary, was
ordered to send a letter of appre
ciation to the 4th of July Commit
tee who had mailed us the check.
Duane Reddecopp, treasurer, al
ready deposited the money in the
bank. This sum and the $200.00
won for our float—most original
one a year ago, plus interest, has
been earmarked toward purchas
ing a . mall ridirg model garden
tractor to be used to plough our
project gardens and to break
ground to enlarge ■our plots.
But, speaking ot our float, this
seems as good a time as any to
correct a little error. Despite ap
pearances otherwise, all partici
pants on our float, the covered
wagon West-bound in the parade
were boys only boys.
Perplexed with a disturbing
problem, Peter Wood Jr. reported
that a weasle is threatening his
ilock of Indian River Cross chick
ens so repeatedly, that the young
owner has to be on the alert ev
ery day.
Duane Reddecopp's exit takes
full advantage of the long sum
mer days and cats far into the
night, gaining weight amazingly.
Ike, Gary Jenkins’ young pig, is
always hungry and tries to cat ev
erything in sight—even Gary’s
boots. Ike, is taking on a promis
ing shape and will be in excellent
condition-for our 4-H Fair.
Something really most wonderful
is being planned by Runny Peter
son—a special entertainment for
our Fair, such as the children of
Juneau have never seen before,
but will delight them very much.
After the meeting, all members,
accompanied by their leaders Mrs.
Kendler and Mrs. Jenkins, made
a field trip to the new Druxman
property on top of Peterson Hill
to look over a job of getting a
garden ready for ploughing.
We all regretted to see Bob Og
den, our president, leave Juneau.
He was his parents and sister
Judy, plan to make their home
in California. The vacant office
will be filled by Henry Allen Jen
kins.

Alaska Manpower
Will Be Considered
By Committee
Alaska has no representation on
a newly-created labor-manage- j
ment committee, but will be given
consideration where manpower
shortages in the Territory exist.
This was the statement of Glenn
E. Brockway, regional director and
acting chairman of the Labor
Management Committee for Reg
ion XIII which met in Seattle
Aug. 8.
The region consists of Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. It
was the first meeting since the
committee was appointed July 9
by Secretary of Labor Maurice
Tobin.
“Regardless of the outcome of
armistice negotiations in Korea," |
Erockw;ay said, "Region XIII will
be responsible for an important
part of the nation's long-range
rearmament progrom. We have
not reached an actual manpower
crisis so far, because defense con
tracts allocated to the region have
not been fully felt in terms of
manpower required to execute
I tnem.” i
I He added, however, that plans
j must be made to meet any nvan
j power shortages.
' Functions of the committee j
include devising recruitment j
methods to increase industrial I
and labor forces; determine
what training needs exist and
low to meet those needs; elim
inate wasteful labor turn-over
| and consideration of adequate
j community facilities as housing,
j transportation, and child care
I in connection with the mobili
i ration and utilization of mdn- j
power.
With respect to Alaska Brock- I
way stated; "due to problems of
distance and cost of travel there
is no representation from Alaska :
on the committee.” He added that
due consideration would be given
to providing an adequate labor
supply for the extensive defense
construction in the Territory. "The
seasonal nature of the Alaska con
struction program, as well as other
seasonal demands,” Brockway said,
"creates problems of stabilization
of the labor force to which the
committee will give its attention.”
Senator Douglas
Turns Down Bid
For Presidency
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14— </P —
Senator Douglas (D-Ill> said today
Jie will not be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Presi
dent.
| Douglas asked withdrawal of peti
tions being circulated in Oregon to
place his name on the ballot for
next May’s Presidential primary
there.
Monroe Sweetland, Oregon state
Democratic chairman, said after a
White House conference with Pre
sident Truman yesterday that a
petition was being circulated to
place the name of Douglas on the
ballot.
Sweetland said he told Mr. Tru
man that there is "overwhelming
sentiment among Oregon Democrats
for the President to seek re-election.
Sweetland said Mr. Truman ' list
ened’’ but gave no hint of his plans.
This byplay brought an assertion
from Senator Brewster (R-Me) that
if the President will make it clear
he wants the Democratic nomina
tion, the Republicans will pick Sen
ator Taft iR-Ohio) as his oppon
ent.

Former Red Spy
Testifies institute
Was 'Commie' Front
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 — Ufl—
Elizabeth Bentley, who says she
is a former Communist spy, test
ified today that the Institute of
Pacific Relations UPRi ‘was a
Communist front organization of
a sort.”
She told the Senate Internal
Security subcommittee that IPR
was described to her once by a
fellow Communist espionage ag
ent as ‘‘one of our organizations”
and “under our control.”
But, she added. Russian agent
Jacob Golos, who was her boss,
also told her once that “IPR is,
operating far too loosed'" and as
a result was making “many blun- !
ders.”
The IPR is a private organiza
tion which was formed in the !
1920s with the declared purpose of
promoting study of Far Eastern j
problems. Senator McCarran <D-1
Nev), who heads the Senate sub- ]
committee, contends the IPR has
been used extensively by Commu
nists to influence U. S. Far East
ern policy. The organization de
nied this.
Miss Bentley has been a fre
quent witness at the Capital for
several" years, testifying at most
of the Congressional hearings deal
ing with subversive activities.
