Oct. 21—iffi—Henry L. Stimson, the
first American to hold cabinet of
fice under four Presidents, is dead
of a sudden heart attack. He was

Harry Truman, and was Herbert
Hoover's only Secretary of State.
Three months ago Stimson fell
and broke his hip, but was making
a good recovery and getting about
with wheelchair and crutches. Yes
terday afternoon he and Mrs. Stim

indicating that his debts would
be paid off by Dewey forces as a
result of his withdrawal from the
race for Governor of New York

Drew Pearson had published the

State Throughway Commission
at a salary of $25,000, was also

his $30,000 indebtedness paid up
by Dewey supporters. All this

Under the current army pay sys

They don't even get a fair share
of the glory when the publicity

These unsung heroes are the in

TELEPHONE RATES
DISCUSSE9,C0UNCiL
A hearing on rent control ex
tension was set for Nov. 17 by the
| Juneau City Council during a re
| gular meeting last night and an
application for increased telephone

sion.
In the petition for increased tele.
I phone rates the Juneau-Douglas
Telephone Company pointed out
that rates are now the same as
they were in 1939, that during the
war adequate maintenance and im
provements were impossible and
that an additional $30,000 revet. ;e
is needed to install new equqipment
and raise employee salaries. The
privately owned company’s phone
rates are the lowest in the Ter
ritory. There are 1892 telephones
in operation in the Juneau area.
Councilman George Jorgenson

fer of retail liquor license from Joe
George to Will C. and Jeanette i
Carter.

mittee and city engineer. It was
signed by Alice Bell, Mrs. Inez Wil
son, Harold Wheaton, Robert El
lis, Leo J. Whistler and A. J. Buck
ingham.

[poles, which the union claims is
| hazardous for pole climbers.
I A motion to have a complete in
ventory of city property by next
(meeting was passed.

ported that he had received many
complaints from citizens who had
attended council meetings, charging

INFLATION TO
GET TOUGHER
CURBS, MAYBE
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 — i/P —
Presidential assistant John R. Steel
man feels that still tighter curbs on
installment buying may be imposed
by the government to combat infla
tion.
Moreover, he said last night, that
other types of controls “may be
come necessary.”
Steelman’s hint at new restric
tions came at the end of a day dur
ing which:
1. The National Production Au
thority (a) restricted rubber com
panies in this use of materials
and <b> set aside for the defense
program the entire production of
stainless steel containing colum
bium.
2. The Commerce Department
ordered a ban on all exports of mo
lasses, a principal source of indus
trial alcohol.
The rubber order limits tire man
ufacturers and other users to 75
percent of the amount of natural
rubber they consumed in the year
ended June 30. It sets consumption
of all rubber, including synthetic,
at 84 percent of the base year’s use.

trend towards inflation continues.
That word oame last night from
one of the Federal Reserve Sys

Washington, a member of the board
of governors.
“We are prepared to take fur
ther action if inflationary tenden
cies continue,” he told the Third

“For obvious reasons I cannot
tell you anything about our plans
for the future. However, I can give
you my assurance that we shall

ORDINANCE PASSED
The passage of ordinance 341 atj
the City Council meeting last night:
recognizes an emergency exists be.
cause of conditions in Korea and
extends the power of ordinances 269
and 276. These two ordinances, pas
sed December 9, 1941 and November
6, 1942, respectively, coupled with
ordinance 321, give the local Civil
Defense Council official recognition.
With the passage of the ordinance
this is the second time in several
months that anything has been
done officially in the way of a
local civil defense prog<am. The first
instance was the appointing of a
civil defense director and 28 dis
trict captains.
Ordinance 269 instructs the may- i
or to cooperate with the local Civil I
Defense Unit in that he is author- 1
ized to deputize as special police
all members of the Civil Defense
Council and provide them with
badges. One or more special oolice

powers of the regular police. Pri
vate individuals may be appointed
without pay as guards of their own
property in case of an emergency.
A special emergency can be de
clared at any time by the mayor
for as long as he deems necessary
upon the concurrence of three or
more councilmen or upon the re
quest or concurrence of the direc
tor of the Civil Defense Unit.
Ordinance 276 amends ordinance
269 in these respects that it is un

HURRICANE
PUNCH HAS
FAILED, FLA.
i TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 21 — ($1 — A
nuisance hurricane which failed to
live up to advance billing fizzled out
in a Florida wilderness today.
The rich Tampa bay resort area,
once threatened with a possible
knockout punch, escaped entirely.
The Florida highway patrol said
the storm hit inland just north of
Cedar Key, the fishing village de
vastated by the Labor Day hurri
cane.
Winds were well below the 76
mile an hour minimum for a hurri
cane.
Apparently the once threatening
blow was breaking up harmlessly in
that sparsely inhabited section of
swamps and woodland some 100
miles north of Tampa.
For long hours the storm, rated
at 75 to 90 miles an hour, was
pointed at Tampa, largest city on
the Florida west coast (population
125,000). Then it lost steam and
veered north.
Meteorologist W. W. Talbott of
the Tampa Weather Bureau said
he believe4 a mass of dry air over,
this area caused the storm to dis
integrate.
"Hurricanes can’t live without
moisture,” he explained.

RED FORCES
TRAPPED IN
NORTH KOREA
'Airdrop,Largest in History,
Seals Fate of Enemy
-No Fight Left
(By the Associated Press)
Parachute troops, dropped Fri
j day in the Sunchon-Sukchon area,
linked forces today with United
I States First Cavalrymen over the
j 30-mile stretch between fallen
j Pyongyang, North Korean capital,
and Sunchon.
Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters
said the fast-moving paratroopers
had sealed off 28,000 Communist Ko
reans after cascading behind the
j enemy lines. The trapped Reds were
nearly half of the estimated orga
nized Communist fighting lorce
, left north of the 38th parallel,
j All arteries of escape were blocked
i for the North Korean Reds in the
Sunchon-Sukchon area, where the
4,200 U.S. airborne troops dropped
out of the sky.
i The surprise maneuver left an
j estimated 03,000 Communist troops
in North Korea unable to mass for
| any effective stand against on
! rushing United Nations forces.
No Defense Line
A MacArthur spokesman said
there was no sign of any organized
defense line north of the present
battle zone nor of any temporary
capital for the all but defeated Red
regime.
Resistance in Pyongyang was
petering out as American tanks
crossed the Taedong and entered
the fallen city.
Five South Korean divisions were
preparing to rush to the Manchur
ian border to cut off escape routes
for the shattered remaining Red
forces, who were surrendering In
droves.
The airdrop, which sealed the fate
I of the Korean Reds was the first
1 in the Korean conflict and one of
the largest in the history of para
trooping.
Little Fight Left
All reports, except from the Chln
nampo area, west of Pyongyang,
indicated there was very little fight
left in the Reds, though a few scat
tered bands of guerrillas were har
assing the U.N. troops in isolated
hill positions.
There was no indication Gen
MacArthur planned to send foreign
U.N. troops to the Manchurian bor
der where an incident might in
volve Russian or Chinese Com
munist troops.
South Korean soldiers, pushing
northward along the east coast,
were 95 miles south of the Man
churian border and still going.
The air force continued its 24
hour schedule but there were few
[targets left north of the 38th par
allel.
