PUBLIC SUPPORT OF!
DEFENSE PROGRAM
IS STRONGLY URGED
WASHINGTON, April 9 — W»—
Secretary of Defense Marshall spoke
out today against what he called a
letdown in public support of the
defense program in the face of a
worsening world situation.
“Every indication we have from
[abroad is of increasing buildup,”
I Marshall said. ‘‘It has been notice
I aljle particularly in the Satellite
countries. The situation not only
I hasn’t changed in the matter of be
ing less tense, it is really more tense
than before.
The best this country can hope
for, Marshall said, is a period of
j tension rather than an all-out
World War, and he added: "What
we are thinking about is possibly e
10-year tension — but the tensior
has relaxed here in six weeks.”
Marshall expressed these views ir
a copyrighted interview with th<
magazine U. S. News and World Re
port. during which he reiterated
again his call for enactment of f
Universal Military Training tUMT)
program. Indications are that the
House, voting later this week, wil
do no more than set up a commis
sion to recommend machinery for
such a program.

iron Lung Dedicated
To Juneau • Douglas
Areas by Elks Lodge
In brief but simple and impressive
ceremonies, dedication of the twin
iron lung was made by the Ben
evolent fu'.tl Protective Order of
Elks, Juneau Lodge 420, Saturday
afternoon in the Elks auditorium.
Exalted Ruler Wallis S. George
of the' local lodge presided at thi
ceremonies. He said in introductory
remarks', that "this is but one of
the many services the Elks extend
,o the community.” Introduction of
visiting guests was made by George.
Among the visiting guests was
Charles' D. Garfield, the only liv
ing charter member of the Juneau
iodge organized 53 years ago. At
that time there were 25 charter
members.
This type of program stamps
our order benevolent and protec
tive,” said Past Grand Exalted Ru
ler Emmett T. Anderson. "One
hundred millions of dollars have
been given in the last 25 years for
those who seemingly can’t care for
themselves. Our services extend
even to veterans hospitalized
throughout the United States.”
Anderson was here several
months ago making the dedication
of the city ambulance.
“There are no geographical boun
daries. The only boundaries are
the unused human resources and
a minimum job is not enough. The
Juneau lodge is again justifying
its existance,” said Grand Exalted
Ruler Joseph B. Kyle. "This same
work is going on in 1600 commun
ities where there are Elks ledges.
This is merely an example of what
our community service,is,” he said.
Mayo* Waino Hendrickson, Ju
neau, an behalf of Mayor Mike
Pusich, Douglas, and himself,
thanked the lodge for the services
the Elks lodge has done for the
Juneau and Douglas communities.

AT 20THKNTURY
One of tne season’s finest melo
dramas, “House of Stranger Is
now showing at the 20th Century

resulted from the use of Italian,
spoken by the supporting plavers
who were recruited from the Italian
theatre in New York, and by film
ing the street scenes in the heart
of Little Italy on New York’s lower
East Side.
