Juneau Lags in
Support for Alaska
Musk Trail
Juneau-Douglas Concert Asso
ciation committee members ended
their meeting at the Elks hall Mon
day night with a feeling of desper
ation.
Two hundred more tickets must
be sold to meet the obligations of
the association to the Alaska Music
Trail and, incidentally, to those
who have already purchased season
tickets, according to Mrs. John
McCormick, president of the as
sociation.
• Ten Alaska towns belong to the
Alaska Music Trail,” Mrs. McCor
mick said," and Juneau is the only
one that has not sold enough tick
ets to pay its way this season.”
Other Alaska communities, mem
bers of the Alaska Music Trail
group, are Ketchikan, Petersburg,
Wrangell, Sitka, Fairbanks, Cordova,
Seward, Anchorage and Kodiak.
The Alaska Music Trail provides
these towns with artists of national
standing for three concerts a sea
son.
Season tickets are sold for $7.20
for adults and $3 for students, in
cluding tax.
The sponsors’ list, which was to
have been closed October 1, has
been extended another week and
will be published later.
"Only through the cooperation of
other Alaskan communities in the
Alaska Music Trail has it been
possible to bring These concerts to
Alaska," Mrs. McCormick explain
ed. “Costs of travel in the territory
and the distances involved would
make it impossible to secure three
fine programs a year in ten com
munities without our cooperative
agreement.
“We are obliged to meet our con
tract this year and we are obliged to
the several hundred people who have
already purchased season tickets to
give them the concerts. But to meet
this financial obligation we must
sell 200 more tickets before October
16.”
Mrs. McCormick declared there
was sufficient enthusiasm for the!
concerts last season to lead the
concert association board to be
lieve that Juneau and Douglas want
the concerts. "That was the prem
ise on which we started work on the
1951-52 season,” Mrs. McCormick
said. “But it appears now that Ju
neau is the only community in Al
aska that lacks sufficient interest
in Alaska Music Trail to pay our
way.”
Tickets may be purchased from
the Alaska Music store at Second
and Seward, from Kay Nelson in
the Baranof Gift Shop or from
these committee members:
Mmes. Carol Beery Davis, Henry
Green, Dewey Baker, H. W. Ham
ilton, Cecil easier, Evelyn Kelly,

Ambassador
Swears Red
Label False
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2 — Wt —
Ambassador Philip C. Jessup swore
today that a charge by Senator
McCarthy (R-Wisi "That I was
affiliated with six Communist fronts
Is false."
Jessup made the statement to a
Senate Foreign Relations subcom
mittee considering his nomination
by President Truman to be a United
Nations delegate. His testimony
was in reply to charges by McCarthy
that Jessup has “followed all the
twists and turns of the Communist
line."
Last night the subcommittee
made public a finding by the Civil
Service Loyalty Review Board that
there is “no reasonable doubt" as
to Jessup’s loyalty.
McCarthy raised some question
about the finding but was promptly
contradicted by Hirman Bingham,
chairman of the loyalty board.
Testifying under oath. Jessup de
nied — as he did last year — Mc
Carthy's accusation that he had “an
unusual affinity for Communist
causes." The ambassador-at-large,
a top advisor to Secretary of State
Acheson, also declared:
“I will submit evidence which will
demonstrate . . . that I have not
been a follower of the Communist
party line.”
He added:
"I will introduce evidence that
the Communists have attacked me
with a violence equal to that dis
played by the Senator from Wis
consin and with far greater justifi
cation.
“The evidence that I will intro
duce will unmask Senator McCar
thy's alleged proof as a mixture of
barefaced falsehoods, distortions
and misrepresentations.”
