Survivors include a stepdaughter,
Mrs. Cleo Boyce of Seattle; two
nephews, Austin G. Cooley, head of

When construction of the Alaska
Railroad began in 1914, Lathrop
moved to Anchorage and set up a
transfer business there. He also
bought a theater and built an apart
ment house.
With completion of the railroad
in 1922, he headed northward to
Fairbanks, where he bought another
theater.
He rebuilt the theater, making it
of concrete. It was the first build
ing of that type and size in northern
Alaska.
“People thought I was crazy,” he
used to comment.
Since then, his operations here
expanded. He put up a second the
ater in both Fairbanks and Anchor
age and built the modern Lathrop
building here, which houses the
Fairbanks News-Miner, his newspa
per; and KFAR, his radio station.
“I've financed a lot of gold mines,
but I've never been a gold miner
myself," he told cronies.
He made one unsuccessful at
tempt at gold mining around Nome
in 1900, but never went back to it.
NO CONTROLS
NEEDED YET,
SAYS TRUMAN
(Continued from Page 1)
! cized President Truman and Con
! gress yesterday, saying they have
I not moved far enough or fast
enough to get the nation ready
i for a finish-fight against Com
munism.
Bluntly he said all-out controls
most be clamped on things, anc
the sooner, the easier for the Amer
i ican people.
While most Congressional leaders
j shied away from the Baruch pro
posal, Senator Sparkman 'D-Ala.)
told a reporter he would ask the
Senate banking committee to con
; sider it fully,
i In other developments;
. 1. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) an
nounced that a committee of GOP
senators from the banking, finance
and armed services committees
| would begin drafting today pro
posed amendments to curtail some
' of the administration's bill for pro
duction and credit controls. Taft
said that controls voted now might
I turn out to be permanent and
| Congress should move cautiously.
2. The Senate unanimously pas
sed a bill removing all limits or
' the size of the armed forces unti
July 31, 1954. The House had pas
sed the bill without any time limit
and now the two versions must
be reconciled
3. The House armed service:
committee continued its prepared
' ness inquiry, calling Secretary of
1 the Air Force Finletter to today's
I closed door session. ■
4. A labor-industry-agrieulture
committee was reported in the I
making. It would discuss things j
I like price and wage controls with I
the National Security Resources j
Board.
“FREEZE" BILL VOTE
Although President Truman
thinks there is no need now for
price-wage controls considerable
sentiment for them in Congress was
demonstrated when a House com
mittee turned down a “freeze” bill
by only one vote.
With that vote—it was 10 to 9—
out of the way, the House Banking
Committee then approved a large
part of Mr. Truman's proposals for
limited economic controls to or
ganize the home front behind the
fight against Communist aggression.
The committee did mot complete
action on the administration bill,
but okehed sections providing
authority to force use of plants and
materials for military and other
essential purposes.
Rep. Kunkel tR-Pa>, offered the
committee a substitute for the Tru
man bill. Kunkel’s measure called
for a general freeze of prices and
wages, and would authorize a sys
tem of rationing, if needed.
Having lost by only one vote,
Kunkel indicated he would offer the
plan again when the administration
bill reaches the House floor.
President Truman's statement
that he doesn’t think all-out con
trols are now needed was made at
a news conference. He had been
asked for comment on the proposal
from Bernard M. Baruch for an im
mediate “ceiling on everything.
Before the Senate Banking Com
mittee, further light on the admin
istration’s thinking was shed by
Attorney General McGrath.
Under questioning from Senator
Sparkman (D-Ala), McGrath said
the question of all-out controls and
rationing had been "thoroughly dis
cussed” by President Truman and
his advisers and their conclusion
was that they are not needed now
"if the conflict does not spread be
I yond Korea.”

HOUSEWIVES MUST 1
ORDER GROCERIES
FOR 2-DAY HOLIDAY
I i
About the only topic arouno!
homes in Juneau today is the big j
Salmon Derby which kicks off a< j
7 a m., tomorrow morning.
Husbands and wives, brothers and j
sisters, aunts and uncles are dis
cussing and arguing over the merits
of various spoons, leaders and sink
ers. while most living rooms prob- '
ably look more like fishing gear
displays than pop's comfortable
haven after a hard day at the
office or store. And that’s Just
what we re getting around to ... .
Father, mother and all the kids
are going to have three hard days—
but they won’t be at the office or
store. They’ll be out around Aaron !
or Marmion Island, trailing a her
ring and hoping the "biggest MHZ''
will fall for their pet lure.
In the excitement of preparation
for the Salmon Derby it is up to
mother to remember that practic
ally all of Juneau’s stores will be
closed Saturday and that tomorrow
groceries will have to be purchased
for the two-day local holiday. Be
sides the stores mentioned in The
Empire Tuesday, which are closing
for the big event, these have been
added: Tot-To-Teen, United Food,
Sanitary Market, Home Beautiful,
B. M Behrends and Columbia Lum
ber. That makes it about unani
mous as far as putting a padlock
on the town is concerned.
It will be a great help if house
wives get their' orders in or do
their shopping early so store em
ployees will have plenty of time
to get their fishing gear in shape,
get a good rest and be ready at
the crack of the gun at 7 a.m..
Saturday to toss their herring over
the side.

What Will Happen
If Washington
Is Bombed!
(By Associated Press)
Two new announcements give
part of the answer to the question:
What will happen if Washington
is bombed?”
For one thing, a vital new com- j
munications center is to be built j
it and near 6amp Ritchie, Mary- j
land, near Frederick. This ndw
communications center apparently
is designed for use in case the
Pentagon should ever be knocked
out.
The other announcement tells of
plans to use the new Friendship
Airport between Washington and
Baltimore. Chairman Millard Tyd
ings of the Senate armed services
committee told about this plan. He
>aid the new Friendship Airport
would be used to defend Washing
ton in case of a major atomic war.
The Defense Department told
about the new communications cen
ter at Camp Ritchie—but would not
give out many details.
