TheWashington
Merry-Go-Round
Washington. — The u. s.
government last week was on the
verge of loaning $46,000,000 of the
taxpayers’ money to the Harvey
Machine Company to set it up in
business as a bigtime aluminum
producer.
Suddenly alert Secretary of the
Interior Oscar Chapman raised a
red flag. He sent hasty letters to
Stuart Symington of the RPC and
Manly Fleischmann, head of de
fense production, withdrawing his
okay of the $46,000,000 until he
could examine certain new facts.
Inside reason for the red flag
was a mass of evidence which this
column placed on Chapman’s desk.
The Harvey Machine Co. had been
suspected of sabotage on war con
tracts in 1943 and recommended
by the Navy to the Justice Depart
ment for prosecution.
The Justice Department never
prosecuted, on the grounds of “in
ability to prove to a jury that the
Navy Department was seriously in

Light Vote Is
Being Cast in
Ciiy Eiedien
At 2:30 o’clock this afternoon only
113 ballots had been cast in the
special city election. The only pol
ling place, for all residents, is in
the display rooms of the Alaska
Light and Power Company, Second
and Franklin. The polls close at 7
o’clock.
A referendum is being conducted
to determine the wishes of the'voters
in a matter vital to the future ad
ministration of city affairs.
The voters are called upon to de
cide whether their councilmen shall
be elected for terms of one year,
as is now the case, or whether three
shall be elected for two years and
three for one year and three each
thereafter.
Chief virtue of the proposed plan
is that its adoption will assure con
'tinuity of office of at least half the
council members each year. This
will enable uncompleted municipal'
projects to go forward with the aid
of at least three experienced mem
bers.
Whatever your views on the pro
posal—your vote is essential in the
city’s planning. Be sure to vote.

Amos Burg Covers
'98 Trail on 9th
Trip to Alaska
Amos Burg, explorer and author,
has returned from a trip to Yukon
Territory where he took color mov
ies and color and black and white
photographs of the “Trail of ’98”
for a National Geographical maga
zine article.
He covered part of the Chilkoot
Pass and trail and White Pass trail
to Whitehorse. He went through
Miles Canyon and the Whitehorse
rapids in a canoe with two other
men. Those who made the canoe
trip with him were W. J. MacBride,
public relations man for the White
Pass and Yukon Railroad, and W. J.
Ooodlad pilot on the Yukon River
steamer Casca.
The three men shot the rapids two
days in a row in a 20 foot canoe.
From Whitehorse, he went to Daw
son City on the Casca and returned
to Juneau on Pan American out
of Whitehorse.
This is Burg’s ninth trip to Al
aska. He paddled a canoe from Ju
neau to Ska gway in 1928 and ship
ped it over the railroad to Lake
Bennett, about half way between
Skagway and Whitehorse. He then
paddled to the Bering Sea down the
Yukon River. The trip took him
two months. An article on the trip
appeared in the National Geograph
ic in July. 1930.
Other rivers that Burg has trav
eled the entire length of are the
Columbia, Snake, Yellowstone, Mis
souri, Mississippi, Athabasca, Slave
and Mackenzie.
Several years ago, he descended
the rapids of the Grand Canyon
where he made a film for 20th Cen
tury Fox. He has also dared the
waters of the Salmon River in Ida
ho for Paramount Pictures.
Burg recently completed a series
of sound films on family life as it
is lived in the countries of Asia
North and South Americas and Eu
rope. These are used widely, he
said, in the schools of the United
States and are translated into many
languages for use in other count
ries.
Early in 1950 he returned from a
three year trip to Europe during
which he filmed family life and
gathered material in the western
European countries from Spain to
Norway. One of the books published
with his pictures and text for the
Encyclopedia Britannica World’s
Children Series is on the Eskimo on
Nunivak Island in the Bering Sea.
Burg leaves this week on his 36
foot sloop rig, the Endeavor, for
Ketchikan on his return to the stat
es.
At the Memorial Presbyterian
Church Wednesday evening at 7:30
o’clock he shows movies taken dur
ing the past 12 years on the child
ren of many lands series. He will
also show pictures taken in Alaska.

Terrific
Refinery
Explosion
Twelve Workers Dead,
20 Others Are
Injured Seriously
WOOD RIVER, 111., Sept, 18—(fll
—“I saw men knocked to the ground.
They were screaming and begging
for help, running with their clothes
afire.”
That was the way a boilermaker's
helper, himself only a few feet
away, described the panic following
' a terrific explosion at the big Shell
Oil Co., refinery here last night
! which claimed the lives of 12 work
| ers and injured 20 others seriously.
He was Willie Burchell, 47, of
East Alton, who was atop a pump
house when four or five explosions
went off directly beneath him.
Blocked by flames, Burchell peeled
the skin from his hands sliding to
safety down an eight-lndh pipe. He
leaped as flames licked at his legs.
Four bodies were recovered soon
after the blast. Eight men died at
hospitals through the night from
burns.
The explosion occurred at one of
the refinery’s large oil cracking
units where a special night crew
was working.
A flash fire following the explo
; sion. shot flames more than 50 feet
| into the air. It was quickly snuf
' fcti out by company firefighters, but
i ihe intense heat hung on keeping
rescue workers from probing deep
into the debri".
Reds Stop
Surprise
UN Attack
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, Sept. 18——
An allied armored force with infan
try support launched a surprise at
tack on the dormant western front
at dawn today. It was stopped by
firmly dug-in Reds.
The allied doughboys and tank
crews fought all day in the mud
and a steady drizzle in their unsuc
cessful effort to gain a hill mass
west of Chorwon. Chorwon is the
southwestern point of the Reds'
old iron triangle troop assembly
area. The town is 18 miles north of
parallel 38.
The Reds held grimly to bunkers
and trenches on the hill mass. Com
munist mortar and artillery fire,
anti-tank guns and mines helped
check the allied thrust.
About 400 to 500 Red troops wrere
dug in on the hills as the tank
column surged up a road in a sur
prise attack on the Communists
from the rear.
Allied infantrymen hit the slopes
from the south at the same time.
Elsewhere along the western front,
allied patrols probed beyond the
United Nations line with little
enemy contact. One hill southwest
of Chorwon was occupied against
no opposition.
Sharp local clashes flared along
the mountainous eastern Korea war
front Tuesday.
Allied troops captured, one peak
with a five-mile view Into enemy
territory.

fftciors Fear Tone's Proiiie May
Resemble Something Out of Food Mixer
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 18— UPl —*
Franchot Tone’s face may look as if !
j it had tangled with a food mixer
when he leaves California hospital in
two weeks.
Doctors attending the actor say
they don’t know how his profile will
be for movie closeups when they re
move the bandages. ‘ In a general
way,” says Dr. Leland House, who
patched up Tone’s smashed facade,
"it’s reasonably certain he’ll look
like Franchot Tone, but as for
closeups, who knows?”
Tone and his lawyer, Kenneth
Chantry, were to confer today on
whether to seek a criminal com
plaint against actor Tom Neal, whose
lethal fists sent Tone to the hos
pital. The actors came to blows
early last Friday morning over the
affections of Barbara Payton, a vol
uptuous blonde movie actress.
Miss Payton, professing an un
divided love for Tone, told news
men Sunday after she had visited
his hospital room that he had pro
posed and she had agreed to marry
him in the very near future. She
was to have married Neal in San
Francisco last Sunday, and a few
weeks ago said Tone would be her
next husband.

Tugs Searching for
Lost Lumber Barge
According to information receiv
ed here at U. S. Coast Guard head
quarters, a tug towing a barge of
i lumber encountered heavy seas
near Cape St. Elias Sunday night
and had to abandon its tow.
The tug Pulaski, left Sitka a
week ago with 450,000 board feet
of lumber aboard a 34 by 136-foot
barge bound for Whittier. The
lumber belongs to the Columbia
Lumber Co. and was being towed
by the tug which is chartered from
the Puget Sound Tug and Barge
Co. of Seattle.
Heavy seas and 60-mile-an-hour
winds, about 20 miles northwest
of Cape St. Elias, endangered the
tug causing the tow to be cut loose.
Moderating weather today permit
ted the tug Active to join the
Pulaski in an attempt to locate and
pick up the lost lumber load.
