PAVING TO AUK BAY,
THANE, DOUGLAS TO
BEGIN IN SHORT TIME
(Continued from Page 1)
Island, and directly across from
Fritz Cove, will be 18 feet wide,
and extension of the two-mile road
built north of the bridge in 1940—
the last road built around Juneau.
It can be finished within one sea
son, the regional forester believed.
Opens Up Land
Much of the land along the pro
posed road is already held in pat
ented homesteads, but with the
coming of transportation, their
owners may cut up their holdings
into five-acre tracts or smaller and
sell them to those who want to get
out in the country—but want a way
to drive out and back.
The paving of the road to Auk
Bay involves widening the present
gravel road to 30 feet and blacktop
ping a width of 22 feet, giving a
four-foot shoulder on each side,
such as is the case now on the road
to the airport.
The distance is about 4'i miles.
The Thane road, also about 4'
miles, was widened last year, and
needs only to be paved. This is the
case with the Douglas Road as well.
It is between two and three miles
long.
Similar improvements for roads
around Sitka and Ketchikan are in
cluded in the special appropriation,
which will allow more money from
the regular appropriation to be
allowed to smaller towns, such as
Wrangell, Petersburg, Cordova and
other small centers.

Russ Riddle
In the United Nations, diplomats
puzzled over Russia's sudden de
cision to end her boycott of the Se
curity Council. The Soviets an
nounced they will assume the presi
dency of the council in their turn
Aug. 1. Diplomats speculated this
could either be another step in the
cold war or an admission that the
Soviet boycott was a big mistake.
The Reds chose the time of the
attack well, when clouds and rain
hampered U.S. air operations. Some
U.S. Navy planes, however, flew
low over the front in rocket and
strafing attacks.
The Communists used the tactics
which marked their march all the
way down the Korean peninsula—
infiltration, lunges at weak points
and then attack in overwhelming
numbers, regardless of high casual
ties. The Reds, outnumbering the
Americans four to one, were using
possibly their heaviest concentra
tion of artillery and mortar fire
thus far.
Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters
said the next few days might be
decisive and might bring the turn
.ng point in the war. President
Syngman Rhee of the South Korean
Republic promised in a broadcast
that "we soon shall open an all-out
offensive" to drive the Communists
back to the 38th parallel whence
their invasion gobbled up all but a
corner of the country.
