Miss Maclean Tells
BPW Club o? U. N.
Trends, Activities,
Business and professional Women
observed United Nations Day a
month early at Hie club’s meeting
m the Earanuf Terrace Monday
neon.
Miss Vir.Hni • MacLean, who is
in Juneau w.th the Alaska Road
Commission was the speaker at the
program arnui; cd by the BPW In
ternational Relations Committee,
Miss Olive Montel, chairman, Miss
Edy’he Moore, co-chairman and
Mr.'. James Hickey.
_ Introduced by Miss Moore, Miss
MacLean, who earned her master’s
degree at the Fletcher School of
Law and Diplomacy, spoke on “Cur
rent. Trends and Developments in
the United Nations." A master, too,
of her subject, Mias MacLean, who!
of her subject. Miss MacLean, was j
one cf the me, t: interesting speak
ers the club had heard in many
months.
There have been five years of
searching for peace since the Uni
ted Nations organization was form
ed in San Francisco in 1945, “no
actual war until Korea, but still no
peace.” Miss MacLean told the |
business women.
“The United Nations is the inter
national organization designed to
preserve the peace. It is unfair
to say it has failed and too soon
to say it has succeeded,” she said.
Representatives to the meeting in
San Francisco where the United
Nations organization was formed in
1945 laced the practical reality
that the nations of the world were
not ready to give up their sover
eignty.
UN Created
“The assembly at San Francisco
created the United Nations made
up of sovereign nations and a
icup ot independent nations has
been attempting since that time
to negotiate a peace.”
The working- ol tbs United Na
tions through the Assembly, the
Security Council, the Economic So
cial Council, Trusteeship Council
r.nd Secretaries, of which Trygve
Lie is head were explained to the
women.
Though undue emphasis may be
],laced on failures of the United
Nations in the security field, UN
discussions have brought world
problems into the open, and all
members o£ the UN have become
more conscious of public opinion
throughout the world, the speaker
said.
“Truce in Palestine was accom
plished largely through the United
Nations mediator Dr. Ralph J.
Bunclie. Pakistan's problems are
till in negotiation but progress has
been made through UN aid. The
United Nations agreement to as
; ist in putting down an aggresive
act in Korea has done much for
the prestige of the United Nations
throughout the world,” Miss Mac
Lean said as she called attention
to the fact that the proposal for
the emergency session called to deal
with the Korean situation came
from the United States’ delegate,
Warren G. Austin.
"Disputes within tne United Na
tions Assembly stem largely from
outside. We have in the United
Nations two divergent ways of life—
one fighting for predominance and
one for its very existence,” she
concluded after mentioning the far
reaching good accomplished by
UNESCO—“long range work, going
n behind the scenes, that is con
tributing much to peace.”
UN Flag
Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen, Home
Demonstration Leader from the
University of Alaska Extension Ser
vice, and guest at the meeting of
Mrs. Betty McCormick, brought
with her a United Nations flag—
the world, surrounded by a laurel
' wreath, in white, on a medium blue

| Extension Service has been given

Mrs. Fohn-Hansen said. Kits with

MINE FIRE
TAKES BIG
TOLL, LIVES
Eighty Men Caught Behind
Wall of Flame
Choked to Death
CRESWELL, England, Sept. 26—
(iD—A raging underground fire
trapped and killed at least 80 men
today at the Creswell coal mine.
Caught behind a wall of flame
from burning rubber and timber
roof supports, they were choked to
death by gas and fumes.
Another 120 men crept to safety
on their hands and knees.
An official death list issued this
afternoon contained 80 names.
Earlier, estimates of the toll had
ranged from 83 to 90.
Smoke and intense heat drove
back rescuers and hope for the
trapped men was abandoned at.
1 p.m. when the fire had been
burning for nine hours.
The decision to give up rescue
attempts and seal off the burning |
section of the mine was announced j
by Sir Hubert Houldsworth. chair- !
man of the East Midlands division |
of the National Coal Board.
The flames broke out soon after'
midnight in a conveyor belt. The |
mine has an elaborate network of |
more than 15 miles of such belts—
one of them 1,932 yards long—to
carry coal from the coal face to
the main shaft.
It was Britain's second coal mine
disaster in recent weeks. Thirteen
men were killed and 116 others were
entombed for two days before they
were rescued after a cave-in Sept.
8 near New Cumnock, Scotland.
The Creswell mine and colliery,
employing more than 1,500 workers,
is the center of a community of
6,000 persons.

SEATTLE HAUBUTER
PAYS $1,000 FINE
FOR ILLEGAL FISHING*
After his proxy had entered a
plea of guilty, Martin Nilsen of
Seattle was fined $1,000 for illegal
fishing, yesterday in the U. S'.
Commissioner’s court.
Nilsen, captain of the large hali
but vessel Recruit, was represented
by Wallis George, who entered the
plea and paid the fine.
Judge Felix Gray imposed the
sentence. Assistant U. S. Attorney
Stanley D. Baskin represented the
Government.
The complaint was brought by
Dan H. Ralston, Law Enforcement
Supervisor of the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
Nilsen was charged with catch
ing halibut July 7 in a closed area
in violation of the United States
Code and the Pacific Halibut Fish
ing Regulations.
Ralston reported that the original
information had been provided by
U.S. Coast Guard 17th District
Headquarters here. A Coast Guard
patrol plane piloted by Lt. J. C.
Boteler had observed the Recruit
with halibut gear out and fishing,
in waters between Kodiak Island
and Unimak Pass. The season had
closed two days before.
Aerial photographs showing the
lowered gear were turned over to
Ralston.
The vessel was located in Seattle
by FWS Agent Leo Childers, and
arrangements were made for Cap
tain Nilsen to enter a plea in the
Juneau court by proxy. Disposition
already had been made of the
catch.
