SCHWAHM SAYS CAA
APPROVED PALMER
LAND TRANSACTION
(Continued from Page 1)
a "washout transaction” in connec
tion with the purchase.
In the letter Plett explained the
arrangements as follows:
On Apr. 11, 1950, the Territory
paid the Palmer Airport Associa
tion, a non-profit, private organi
zation, $150,000, and 13 days later
the association returned all but
$5,000, which had gone to acquire
land not previously owned by the
association. The association then re
leased the land to the Territory,
provided it hold an option to take
back the airport on behalf of Palmer
if a municipal corporation ever was
formed.
Plett said the deal is an eligible
project cost, whether construed as
j a purchase or a gift, and he inclosed
an opinion of Frank R. Yates, acting
Comptroller General, supporting his
statement.
INVESTIGATING HEAD
‘KNOWS NOTHING’ OF
LAND TRANSACTIONS j
,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 — (Jl — j
Chairman Hoey (D-NC) said today
his Senate Investigating subcom- j
mittee has no present plans to look
into the Palmer, Alaska, airport
transaction.
“It has not been brought to our
attention,” Hoey told a reporter.
Senator Butler (R-Neb) said in a
Senate speech yesterday that Terri
torial officials, with the approval of
Gov. Ernest Gruening, tried to col
lect from the federal government
$37,500 to which Alaska is not en
titled.
The deal, he said, involved placing
j an "inflated value” on 127.94 acres
of land for the Palmer Airport, re
ceiving a kickback from the seller
and billing the federal government
for 25 percent of the inflated price
under the Federal Airport Act.
Butler, a leading opponent of
statehood for Alaska and Hawaii,
demanded a Senate probe of the
transaction.
Hoey said Butler had not discussed
the matter with him.
Butler charged that the purpose
of the “washout transaction” ar
ranged between the Territory and
the Palmer Airport Association was
to recover a part of the $50,000 spent
on the old Palmer airport in 1946.
At that time the Territory of Alaska
was not included in the Federal Aid
Airport law applying to the states.
The deal, he said, involved sale
of the land to the Territory for
$150,000, with a rebate of $145,000 to
the Territory.

officially reported.
The Concord fought with Com
munist batteries on three islands—
Taitami, Puntin and Ling tin—in
sell-defense, the British said. There
was one minor British casualty.
Reds Batter Ships
In the past week Red batteries
on the islands have fired on three
merchant ships—British, American
and Norwegian .
In Washington Senator Wiley <R
Wis.i said the Russians had “baited
a trap" to involve the U. S. wfth
the Chinese Communists in a strug
gle which would “bleed us com
pletely dry.” He called for an all
out effort to keep the Chinese
Communists from being involved
in the Korean struggle.
Irt Washington, too, it was be
lieved by many that the Russians
in cooperation with Red China may
reoccupy North Korea. An allied
offensive beyond the 38th Parallel
would thus involve direct fighting
wltiv Russia.
London informants said U. S'.,
French and British foreign min
isters in their September conference
may try to hammer out a common
policy on Formosa. At present
Britain is making it plain she is
not committed to President Tru
man's policy of defending Formosa,
Chinese Nationalist base.
MacArthur's headquarters had
not yet assessed the results of the
massive B-29 attack Wednesday on
the 25-mile area west of the Nak
tong River where 60,000 Red troops
were estimated to have gathered
for a supreme offensive against
Taegu.
Navy pilots reported the destruc
tion or damage of 34 tanks in new
sweeps. Fifth Air Force pilots said
they damaged eight tanks in ground
support attacks. U. S. airmen were
using a new 6%-inch tank-killer
rocket that had been rushed into
production only four weeks ago.

CANCER CRUSADE
ENDS IN ALASKA
ON AUGUST 31ST
Have you a dollar's worth of in
terest in C.wjgff Control?
That Is the $64 dollar question,
as the Cancer Crusade swings into
its last two weeks throughout Al
aska. And Juneau people who still
desire to demonstrate that interest
have just that long to do so, if
they desire to stand up and be
counted on this year’s program.
The fiscal year of the American j
Cancer Society ends on August 31, i
and while contributions made after I
that time will be accepted grate-1
fully, they will be credited to the i
1951 quota. This is according to'
announcement made today from the
Alaska Division's headquarters of
fice, by Mildred R. Hermann, Ter
ritorial Commander, under whose
direction the program in Alaska is<
being carried on.
Juneau's contributions in the reg
ular cancer crusade were very satis
factory from the standpoint of
money received, according to
Charles W. Carter local crusade
chairman, but this was due to large
contributions from a few especially
interested people rather than an
all-out, city-wide participation.
“But," he added "hopefully, “If
every person, every business house,
every organization that has not
yet contributed to the fund, and
that is amply able to do so, would
send in even a dollar during this
next two weeks, it would put Ju
neau on a very high level, per
capita wise. It could easily reach
proportions that would save a life
for some Juneau victim of the
dread malady, or enable some fel
low citizen to have much needed
treatment now denied him.
It is easy to contribute to the
cancer crusade, Carter pointed out.
Just put a dollar—or more, check
or cash—in and envelope and ad
dress it to Box 422, and it will
speedily reach its destination and
help other dollars do the job in
Alaska that needs to be done to
ward control of this great killer.
A final mop-up campaign is now
under way throughout Alaska, Car
ter pointed out, to insure that
everyone who wants to contribute
can get his contribution in before
August 31. So every day during
the next 10 days is dollar day for
Cancer in every community in
Alaska, and if every dollar comes
in that can easily be spared in
this area, for this importnt work,
there is no doubt that Alaska's per
capita showing will match that of
any Division within the American
Cancer Society's great national or
ganization.
"We appreciate more than I can
possibly say.” Mrs. Hermann said
today, “the generous contributions
that have been made either during
the regular campaign for funds and
as memorials to cancer victims, but
this is no job for a few to do.
Cancer is everyone’s business, and
what we would really like is to
have every person in Alaska, wild
can afford to do so, to invest a
dollar in an interest in the Cancer
Control program. Then we couM
really go places with this work.”

l/VAo's Sadder?
You or life 7
You’re sad—because you’d like to have a nice new General
Electric Refrigerator right this very day, but you can’t get ooet
We’re sad—because it’s our business to provide people with
General Electric Refrigerators, but we just don’t have enough
to go around.
And it’s nobody’s fault in particular. The General Electric
people have a refrigerator factory as big as all outdoors (or
nearly). It’s equipped with the last word in production son*
chinery. And it’s turning out refrigerators at an amazing rate.
But so many people want a G-E—and won't take any other
make-that there are still more people waiting in line than
there are refrigerators coming off the line.
It’ll pay you, though, to wait for your General Electric. Re
member—a refrigerator is something you buy for the ypMTf
ahead. And no refrigerator will serve you better through those
years than a famous, dependable General Electric.
