WORLD PEACE THEM!
OF UN DAY BANQUET
Juneau climaxed its United Na
tions Day observance last evening
with a banquet at th? Baranof Ho
tel attended by more than a hund
red community leaders. The many
facets of the United Nations or
ganization were discussed by 15
speakers including a wire-record
ed address by U. S. Representative
Warren Austin, and the singing of
"United Nations Flag" by the Ju
neau Community Chorus .
The tenor cf all speakers was
hope and faith in the world or
ganization to bring global peace
into realization and make the dig
nity of man a true maniiestatlon.
Gov. Ernest Gruening. as master
of ceremonies, paid tribute to the
feur groups sponsoring the local af
fair: the League of Women Voters,
Juneau Woman's Club, the Business
and Professional Women’s Club,
and the American Women's Vol
untary Services. He outlined the
ideals upon which the United States
was founded and under which it
became great as a nation granting
equal rights to all.
Mrs. Jo? Alexander, as speaker
for the AVWS organization, pointed
out the study groups in internation
al relations sponsored. Mrs. Frances
Paul, representing the Women's
Club, said that the idea of a col
lective force to stop aggression had
long been endorsed by womens
clubs, with emphasis on health and
education in all countries.
Kate Smith, President of BPW,
briefly outlined the support by that
national organization for adequate
enforcement machinery for peace
together with an educational pro
gram that would enlist professional
and business women toward the
goal of world peace.
Mrs. Gruening as spokesman for
the League of Women Voters re
minded the audience that her group
had urged cooperation with the
League of Nations back in 1931 to
v,'ard the ideals now being advanced
by the UN.
Pulls No Punches
The Rev. James Conwell of the
Catholic Church pulled no punches
when he stated that Russian ob
structionism in the workings of the
United Nations was a blessing
in disguise and that was uniting
the free nations against the en
roachment of Communism. "The
United Nations will be as strong
as we are individually in recog
nizing the importance of principles,
God and the Soul,” he concluded.
The Rev. Samuel McPhetres of
the Holy Trinity Cathedral said
that when there is no vision the
people are lost.
The “One World" concept was
stressed by the Rev. A. B. Morgan
of the Methodist Church, who,
pointing out that the UN was striv
ing to shape a world that would be
everyman’s world.
"Peace starts in men's hearts”
pointed out the Rev. J. P. Porter
of the Douglas Community Metho
dist Church. He listed the ten point:
of the Bill of Rights and review-ed
the importance of the dignity ol
man, "importance beyond lip ser
vice to the ideal."

“What the United Nations has
Done for Non-Self Governing Peo
ples,” was discussed by George
Sundborg, consultant to the Alaska
Development Board, in which he
said that Alaska “falls within this
category, somewhat." He went into
what the UN was doing in trustee
ships for 15,000,000 people under its
guardianship.
Alaska’s Attorney General Ger
ald Williams gave the legal aspects
of United Nations workings and

years ago, which had made this
country great, might be extended to
the whole of mankind.

and spiritual as barriers against ag

using them as such.

Big Force Is
Planned by
HA, Nations
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 — Wl —
The 12 North Atlantic nations,
banded together for defense against
Communist armed might, may be
able to create a bigger force and
do it faster than their military
planners have hoped.
This prospect, cheering to a ner
vous western world, developed today
out of the opening session yesterday
of the military committee of the
North Atlantic Treaty organization.
It resulted, essentially, from three
things:
1. The urgent plea by American
Gen. Omar Bradley to'the Commit
tee for action now to bring into be
ing an integrated land, sea, and
air force to resist any new military
thrusts by Russia or her Communist
satellites.
2. A move in the military com
mittee, sparked by one of the smaller
nations, to contribute to the com
bined defensive organization a larger
force than had been blueprinted.
3. The overt act of Communism—
bringing war to Korea—which has
stepped up the tempo of rearma
ment by most of the Atlantic na
tions, whether or not they are
fighting in the Far Eastern conflict.
A spokesman for the American
delegation to the conference didn't
identify the small country that set
off the move to speed up formation
of the combined forces, but he said
the idea immediately gained ap
proval from the other chiefs of staff
who represent the treaty nations.

Lou Jacobin, who puts out the
famous “Guide to Alaska,” hasn't
any copies left for Joe Stalin.
Lou has given orders that no
copies of the books are to be sent

The Russians have been bombarding
him with orders and after the tenth
request was marked “third request,”
Jacobin wrote an open letter to
Stalin, published elsewhere as an
advertisement in this issue, ex
plaining why his orders are not
filled.
Jacobin is back in Juneau prepar

several months work in the Interior

STATEHOOD
PREDICTED
BY GORDON
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 25—IB—
Statehood for both Hawaii and
Alaska by Christmas was forecast
yesterday by Sen. Guy Cordon
i R-Ore), member of the Senate
Interior and Insular Affairs Com
mittee.
He said in an interview that if he
were overly optimistic on that date,
then statehood surely would come
“some time during the 82nd Con
gress.”
He said he would press for state
hood for both territories when Con
gress reconvenes Nov. 27. The bills
could have been passed earlier if
the adminstration had pressed for
them, he said, adding that Demo
cratic Leader Lucas of Illinois
failed to help Sen. O'Mahoney tD
Wyo) who wanted to get them be
fore the Senate.
“And some Republicans were of
no help either,” he said.
Cordon said he long had favored
statehood for Hawaii, and last
month reversed his stand on Alaska.
He said he formerly believed the bill
for Alaskan statehood failed to give
the territory enough natural re
sources from which it could gain
revenue for state use. Eut he said
he now think, ihat can be worked
out after statehood. .
