pressed complete confidence in the |
integrity of the government’s legal'
talent. He defied those interested
in special influence to try to tempt
them from their duty.
The Attorney General, flushed
and obviously moved by the fire
that has been directed toward his
department in th6 current tax
fraud investigations, made the state
ment in a fighting off-the-cuff j
speech before a luncheon meeting
of the Federal Bar Association.
McGrath made it clear that he
has no intentions of resigning his
position as has been reported in
some quarters.

rr ASHINGTON — Those who
have worked with likable Howard
McGrath as Attorney General say
there are only two things wrong
with him:
1. He is seldom around the place
where he is supposed to work—the
Justice Department.
2. He has his eyes so firmly fixed
on the U. S. Supreme Court that
he is afraid to make any moves
that might make enemies.
Real fact is that McGrath ent
ered the Justice Department with
every expectation of being upped
to the Supreme Court within a year.
Justice Stanley Reed, not in the
best of health, was expected to
retire.
But Reed recovered. Meanwhile
the policy of offending no one, es
tablished early in the McGrath re
gime, has drifted on.
Early in life, likewise, Howard got
into the habit of offending no one.
He learned that if you’re lucky and
don’t rock the boat, things come
your way. He also learned that if
you exude enough charm, a rea

Ilibok Hibok volcano hid its toll of
dead today under a smoking blanket
of ash which rained for the third

So far 209 bodies have been re
covered. Official estimates say 500
more probably are buried in a six

It may be a week before total

Two new blasts shook the volcano
Wednesday feeding the sulphurous

were the third and fourth eruptions.

Bartlett Predicts
Early Passage of
Statehood Bill
Delegate E. L. Bartlett spoke on
statehood and two more nomina
tions were made for the executive
board when the Juneau Chamber
of Commerce met at the Baranof
Hotel this noon.
Bartlett briefly traced the his
tory of statehood bills since the
first one was introduced in Con
gress by James Wickersham in 1916.
He refuted the argument that the
new state would not have control
of its lands and resources. He said
that the Senate came up with a
formula that would give Alaska
compact contiguous areas adjacent
to established communities or
wherever chosen, except in the Na
tional Forests. He assured the
Chamber that the new state would
have the same control over its fish
and game as other states.
In response to a question regard
ing tidelands and filled-in tide
lands, Bartlett said that would be
the some as other states. He said
that Alaskans should get ready for
statehood and predicted the early
passage of the present bill.
Peter Wood and Jerry McKinley
were added to the list of nomina
tions for executive board members.
Others previously nominated were
F. O. Eastaugh, O. F. Benecke,
Henry Green, Franz Nagel, Pete
Warner, Charles Burdick and E. J.
O'Brien.
Election will be held next Thurs
day noon.
Pete Warner, chairman of the
outdoor committee, urged support
of the Ski Club's efforts to acquire
a Sno-Cat to haul skiers and others
to the ski area on Douglas Island.
•'I believe this is the greatest step
toward development of a Juneau
winter sports area," he declared.
Mayor Waino Hendrickson urged
the membership to vote today on
the bond proposals in support of
the present city administration.
Guests were W. A. Bates, Ketchi
kan banker; L. T. Swanson of Pet
owner; and Herbert C. Shiro, sta
tion operations manager for PAA
who has been transferred here from
Wake Island.
Britain Arms ;

Says Churchill
LONDON, Dec. 6 — tiPI — Prime
Minister Winston Churchill dis
closed today his government has
given up hope of fulfilling Britain's
three-year, $13,160,000,000 arms pro
gram on schedule.
At the same time, he told the
House of Commons, he thinks there
is less danger of a third world war
now than at any time since the
Berlin airlift crisis in 1948.
Churchill declined to say how
much Britain would fall short of
meeting its rearmament targets,
but said it would be unable to spend
on time even the $3,500,000,000 bud
geted for the armed services during
the current year.

Armistice
Policing
Taken Up
MUWSAN, fCorea, Dec. 6 — W —
The Allies today agreed to go along
with a Communist demand that
.only jaeclfted points be subject to
nilj/cuflon dtiUng a Korean armis
tice.
The concession was part of a
new U*,N. eight -point plan for solv
ing thi bitter" dispute over policing
:ia armistice.
While Allied truce negotiators
abandoned their demand for unre
stricted behlnd-lhe-lines inspec
tions, they insisted that the checks
be made br Joint Allied-Red teams.
The Reds reacted immediately
and unfavorably — to the Allied
proposal, said a U.N. spokesman,
Lt. Col. Howard Levie.
The Communists want all inspec
tions ntadD by representatives of
neutral cairns. The U.N. Com
mand has ot formally rejected this
idea.
Levie said the Communist dele
gates repeated their old argument
that the use of joint inspection
teams would interfere with the in
ternal affairs of the North Korean
people.
Levie emphasized, however, that
Allied negotators did not regard the
Red reaction as a rejection of the
eight-point program. He said the
Communists probably will have
more to say when the delegates
meet again in Panmunjom at 11
a.m. Friday (6 p.m. EST Thursday),
Ships Collide,
Another Sinks,
in Stormy Seas
VANCOUVER, B.C., Dec. 6—UR—
Two ships collided and another
sank during a storm off the coast
of British Columbia yesterday.
The 416-ton coastal freighter Is

moved most of the freighter’s 14
man crew. Others remained aboard
in an attempt to get the freighter
into Prince Rupert.
The Chilco Lake, its bow crump
led, was taken in tow by another
packer headed for Prince Rupert.
The four-man crew of the fish
packer Marmae took to the lifeboat
after the packer struck a floating

waters in Georgia Strait. They
were rescued by the packer Western

carry an atomic bomb 10,000, miles
and more—landed at home today
after a 4,984-mile non-stop hop to
Africa and the non-stop flight
back.
They landed in Africa at a new

iround the world for global defense.

Crewmon shrugged off the actual
flying as routine.
But today they still couldn’t stop
talking about the food—for instance
the 54 filet mignon steaks for one
18-man crew alone—on the re

Several crewmen stepped from the
planes wearing bright red fezzes,
characteristic headdress of parts
of North Africa.
The first giant 10-engine bomber

It was the second flight across

War Prisoner
Discussions

;/•..* sJajtHe «iqn|MW)t<a»e or.
war prisoners In Korea immedi

Brig. Gen. William V. Nuckols
said Red delegates at Paiununjon:
truce talks apparently were trying
to force the Allies to accept Com
inunLst terms for supervision 4f an
armistice by delaying dismastm, of
the prisoners exchange.
Nuckols' blast came after Nortl^
Korean MaJ. Gen. Lee Sang re-'
fused to consider repeated Allied
proposals to set up n second sub
committee to work on the prisoner
question.
General Lee was quoted as ray
ing “when there is no prospect far
progress of the meeting, our senior
delegate <Lt. Gen. Nam 11) will not
give us any answer about the pris
oners of war.”
Another U.N. spokesman at the

all of us that had somewhat the im

During Thursday's meeting the

be subject to inspection during a

Stateside Bakery
Skipping Frozen
Bread to Alaska
SEATTLE, Dec. 6—01—Now it's
frozen bread for Alaska.
On its next ship for the north
Alaska Steamship will carry Us first
sizeable shipment of frozen bread
and breadstuffs.
The bread will travel north in big
plywood containers 8 feet square
and 61.- feet deep. Built at a cost
of $700 apiece, the plywood "Ice
boxes” weigh 800 pounds apiece
and have a capacity of 16,800 loaves.
They’re Curt Smith's answer tc
the bread shipping problem.
Smith, who operates Vic's Band
Box Lunch here, Is shipping the
bread north for sale by his Pacific
Catering Co. in Anchorage.
He's buying the bread from a big
Seattle bakery, pre-freezing it and
loading it into his big insulated
breadboxes with enough dry ice tc
keep it below freezing until it ar
rives in Anchorage.
The reinforced breadboxes will
ride the deck of steamers, be trans
ferred directly from ships to rail
road flatcars and delivered to An
chorage sidings.
Smith foresees delivery of 18,000
pounds a week to his Anchorage
distribution point.
In years to come, Smith thinks,
Alaskans will munch pre-frozen
bread in the regions where their an
cestors used to treasure sourdough
biscuits, bread and hotcakes.

The dispute had affected nine

a 3.7 percent increase was granted
from that date back to June 16.
The PMA also agreed to reduce
