French Elections
Give Support to
Premier's Policies
PARIS, Oct. 15—'/PI—Local elec
tions ending yesterday gave parties
I supporting Premier Rene Pleven’s
pro-American foreign policy a j
smashing endorsement.
Parties cf Pleven’s middle-cf-the
road coalition and those supporting
his foreign policy in the National
Assembly won 1,280—75 percent—of
the 1.660 seats at stake.
Within the coalition, the right
of-center Independent Republican
Peasants’ Alliance emerged as the
most potent party, capturing 468
seats on departmental (county)
councils. This represented a gain
of 112 for the rightists, at the ex
pense, of the Socialists and Com
munists.
The Communists, who campaigned
on an anti-American, anti-Atlantic
Pact platform, wen only 78 seats—
98 fewer than they held previously.
The right-wing De Gaullists, who
also attacked the U.S., won 150 seats
for a gain cf 80.
The elections, held on two suc
cessive Sundays, were for more
than half of the members of the
departmental (county) councils. As
in America, they frame local bud
gets and levy local taxes. Local
issues and personalities generally
are at stake, but the Communists
and De Gaullists injected interna
i tional affairs this year.

Duplication in
Alaska Charged
By Congressman
Norblad Discusses Air
Force, Army, Housing,
Alaska Railroad
Bv ALICE FKEIN JOHNSON
WASHINGTON — Duplication b\
the Air Force and Army in Alaskr
defense construction was chargee
by Congressman Walter Norblad
Republican of Oregon.
norblad and six other member;
of the House Armed Services coin
mil tee recently returned from in
specting defenses from Point Bar
row to Southeast Alaska.
Although a new airfield neat
Fairbanks is under the joint su
pervision of the Air Force and Army,
Norblad said the services had dem
onstrated little unification in its
planning.
On this base each service has
built a chapel across the road from
the other; two service clubs — one
for enlisted men and one for non
commissioned officers — making
four clubs within 1,C00 feet; an
infirmary and a headquarter.; build
ing.
Duai Facilities
Dual facilities are “totally un
necessary” for the number of com
bined Army and Air Force per
sonnel which will be stationed at
this field, Norblad declared.
An Air Force station for testing
Arctic clothing, machinery and guns
is located less than 100 miles from
the one where the Army is con
ducting almost identical tests. Nor
blad said there was so little coordi
nation between stations that the
Air Force colonel in charge did not
know the name of hts Army coun
terpart.
Slaps Housing
Housing being built for troops
also came under Norblad's fire on
the ground that each unit contains
three bedrooms. He said a per
centage should have been built
with one or two bedrooms for
couples without children or with
only one child.
“Before spending millions on the
necessarily-high construction costs,
figures available at the Pentagon
should have been studied, and the
average size of families correlated
to the number of bedrooms per
unit,” Norblad asserted.
Norblad said the plan of the
Alaska Railroad to discontinue the
section between Seward and the
point where the Whittier cut-ofl
joins the main road should be
given greater study.
“Any enemy bomber would have
a clear path by following the arm
of the sea to its head,” Norblad
said, "There, at Whittier, it could
drop one bomb which would wipe
out docking * facilities. Or, if it
missed the primary target, a few
bombs on the nearby mountains
could send tons of rock and debris
crashing on the piers and blocking
the mouth of the railroad tunnel.'
(Norblad learned first hand about
what night raiders can do when
he was a combat air force officer
in JSurope during the Second
World War.)
Norblad said the committee was
pleased with the high morale among
troops which it found in Alaska.

ISRAEL SCHOOLS ASSAILED
TEL AVIV—OP)—Forty-seven dele
gates representing 15,000 pupils from
25 schools in Israel met in confer
ence in the coastal plain town of
Hederah to demand more modern
Instruction from their teachers.
They did not oppose the central
role the Bible is playing in Hebrew
-chools but they said—except in so
called "religious schools” the Holy
Book of the Books should be read
and explained primarily from his
toric, scientific and literary aspects.
They also charged their- school
curriculum with neglecting biology,
psychology, sociology and history of
art.

'Whiplash' Stars !
At 20th Century
Have Aversions
Dig deep enough into the char
acters of film stars and you'll find
that they're pretty much like the
young man or girl next door.
At least that's true in one respect
—they've got their pet aversions
too.
Alexis Smith, who shares acting
honors with Dane Clark in Warner '
Bros.' vivid drama, "Whiplash," at
the 20th Century Theatre, is an
excellent example.
The 25-year-old, blonde-tressed
star lists child prodigies as her pet
aversion—attributable to the fact
that she very nearly was one her
self.
Dane Clark say? long-winded pol
iticians with a flare for hour-long
empty speeches are his pet aversion.
Jeffrey Lynn is a down-to-earth
rugged individualist and it is ob
vious that his great dislike would be
phony people.
Zachary Scott is averse to silk
neckties — for himself.
Eve Arden has an aversion to any
radio that opens up after midnight.

ond intervals.

disorderly conduct. The name was
actually Peter John, and the City
Office npologizes to Ronald John#jr
this error.

--o
The Juneau Memorial Library Building
is completed and the books are now being
placed on the shelves.
The Dedicatory exercises will be held as
soon as some of the new furniture is received,
probably by the end of October.
The Library Board hopes that subscrib
ers to the building fund who have not yet
paid in full would arrange to do so at once,.
Most of the pledges have been paid, but
a balance of $0,000.00 is still outstanding.
ADDITIONAL DONATIONS are also
needed to meet some unforeseen costs.
PLEASE HELP.
