STEAMSHIP COSTS
SEATTLE, Oct. 9—(&>—'The re
cent 5.49 percent wage increase,
granted the International Long
shoremen’s and Warehousemen’s
Union at the conclusion of negoti
ations between operators and union
officials in San Francisco, will add
approximately $200,000 to the an
nual operating costs of the Alaska
Steamship Company, D. E. Skinner,
vice president and general man
ager, said here today.
“Our stevedoring expense last
year at the former rate of $1.82
per hour totalled $3,715,465. The 5.49
percent increase would raise this
cost $203,979, making a total of
$3,919,444,” he said.
The negotiations now in progress
with other maritime unions are ex
pected to further affect the cost of
steamship operations, it was pointed
out.
GEOLOGIST LEAVES
FOR EKLUTNA PROJECT
Clark E. McHuron, chief geologist
for the Bureau of Reclamation’s
Eklutna power project, left here for
Palmer today to prepare for the
examination of core drillings from
the site of the proposed tunnel.
The 4 >/& -mile-long bore, among
the longest ever constructed by the
Reclamation group, will carry the
waters of Eklutna Lake into turbines
to be set up on the shores of Knik
Arm, midway between Anchorage
and Palmer.
The plant will generate 30,000 kilo
watts. Drillers are arriving on the
scene now, according to Joseph P.
Morgan, Reclamation head. Mc
Huron, by studying rock types
brought up by the drills, will pre
dict the types of material to be
met during construction of the nine
foot bore.
From this information tunnel de
sign may be worked out, and bid
ding contractors will know what
problems they face.
Core drills will be inserted at both
ends of the proposed bore for ap
proximately a quarter-mile. Types
of foundations and methods of in
serting a concrete liner may also be
learned from this work, McHur»n
said.

"M^ASHINGTON — Congressman
Walter Brehm of Ohio recently
calle me a liar for exposing his
“kickback” manipulations with his
office payroll.
I suppose it might be appropriate
to remind Congressman Brehm
that some of his ex-colleagues re
ferred to me in the same language,
notably ex-Congressman J. Parnell
Thomas of New Jersey and ex-Con
gressman Andrew May of Kentucky,
though they later went to jail.
However, I prefer to answer
Congressman Brehm by giving some
additional facts in the case and
letting the public decide who is
really guilty of telling lies.
The total kickbacks Brehm re
ceived from Mrs. Clara Soliday, a
75-year-old widow formerly em
ployed in his office for three years,
amounted to approximately $7,300.
Here is a month-to-month ac
count of how this money was paid
to Brehm from the time she went
on his payroll Jan. 1(0, 1945, until
she was summa/ily discharged Jan.
31, 1948, after having broken her
arm.
Mrs. Soliday was paid $232.22 for
the first part-month she was em

back $1000 to her boss. In the next
five months, from February 1 to

ALASKA ORGANIZED
FOR POLIO CARE;
NO MORE CASES
No new cases of poliomyelitis were
j reported to the Alaska Health De
j partment over the weekend. Thirty
i one cases, including five deaths,
have been reported since the out
' break two months ago.
Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Territorial
Health Commissioner, returned yes
terday from the interior and An
chorage. While in Fairbanks for a
meeting of the University of Alaska
Board of Regents last week, he di
rected the fight against polio, co
ordinating Territorial activities with
assistance from the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis. He
was in daily telephone and tele
graph contact with the New York
office of the Foundation.
Dr. Albrecht appointed Dr. Wen
dell C. Matthews of the Health De
partment at Anchorage as assistant
epidemic coordinator for all In
terior points west of 141 degrees
west longitude.
While Dr. Albrecht directs South- !
east Alaska activities, all reporting
of conditions—new cases, requests
for aid in personnel, equipment and
funds—will be made through Dr.
Matthews’ office in the other area.
“It is too early to predict the fu- !
ture of infantile paralysis in the \
Territory,” Dr. Albrecht said today. \
“To be prepared in the event that!
there are more cases, detailed plans !
have been made to meet any situ
ation.
“Nurses in Fairbanks and An
chorage are receiving special in
struction from Miss Louise Suc
homel, orthopedic nursing consult
ant of the Joint Orthopedic Nursing
Advisory Service. Trained super
visors will be available for similar i
instruction of nurses in outlying j
areas, should the need arise.
“The 10th Air Rescue Squadron |
is alerted for evacuation of patients
to medical care centers. A 10th Res
cue team has been trained to op
erate a portable respirator. Local
Red Cross chapters have been desig- J
nated by the National Foundation
to recruit nurses for hospital care.
These polio nurses will be paid from
March of Dimes funds.
“The splendid cooperation and co- j
ordination by everyone,” Dr. Al- !
brecht said, “is most encouraging, |
and assures the best care known to j
medical science. This is emphasized j
by a telegram from Basil O’Connor, j
National Foundation president.”
O’Connor’s telegram reads, in j
part: “All the resources at our com- |
mand are available to the people .
of Alaska in their present battle |
against infantile paralysis. Our help j
is ready for members of the Armed j
Forces and their families, as well as |
for resident civilians. We have
$14,000 in March of Dimes funds in
Alaska ... If more should be re
quired, more will be available, even
though we are confronted here by j
the second worst polio year in his- I
torv.
"It is all one fight and we are!
all in it together.” . |

HIGH COURT
TURNS DOWN
TAYLOR CASE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 — CT) —
The Supreme Court refused today
to review the conviction of Sena
tor Glen Taylor (D-Idaho), sen
tenced in Alabama to a $50 fine and
180 days in jail on charges of dis
orderly conduct.
In Birmingham, Police Commis
sioner Eugene Connor announced
“we are going to send and get him,
wherever he is, at once.”
Taylor was in Pocatello, Idaho,
where he said he is going to stay.
“I’m not going down there and
turn myself over to that chain
gang,” he said. He said he plans to
stay in Pocatello until Congress re
convenes November 27.
Taylor ran afoul of Birmingham
police May 1, 1948. while cam
paigning for vice president on the
Henry Wallace Progressive party
ticket. The disorderly conduct
charge stemmed from a tussle he
had with police when he tried to
enter a Negro youth meeting
through a door marked “Negro En
trance.”
Denial of Taylor’s appeal for a
review was one of 333 orders handed
down by the Supreme Court today,
either granting or refusing reviews.
Many of today’s orders dealt with
civil rights legislation.
In other cases, the court:
Refused to reconsider a June 5
decision requiring Texas to admit
a Negro student, Herman Marion
Sweatt, to the all-white law school
of the University of Texas.
Denied the University of Mary
land a review Qf .a Maryland Court
of Appeals decision that the state is
obliged to admit a Negro girl, Esther
McCready, to its school of nursing.
The denial lets the Court of Appeals
decision stand unchanged.
Declined to review a case in which
Negroes were prevented from oc
cupying houses on two streets in
Oklahoma City.
Agreed to consider an attack made
by the International Workers Order,
Inc., of New York City on validity
of the government’s loyalty pro
gram. The organization had asked
that the program be declared un
constitutional and that its name
be stricken from a list of "subver
sive” organizations compiled by the
Attorney General. Lower federal
courts here dismissed the organiza
tion’s case.
VISHINSKY GIVES
PARTIAL APPROVAL
AMERICAN PROGRAM
LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 9 — —
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky said today Russia favors
some points of the sweeping United
States program to give the U.N.
General Assembly emergency powers
to combat aggression.
Vishinsky’s surprising statement
in the Assembly’s Political Commit
tee came after John Foster Dulles,
Republican advisor to Secretary of
State Acheson, outlined the Ameri
can program, which calls for
standby military forces to back up
United Nations decisions.
The Soviet Foreign Minister did
not specify which points of the
American proposal he favored. His
statement puzzled other delegates.
British Minister of State Kenneth
Younger.said:
“If it is a fact that the Soviet
Union accepted the general outlines,
we are glad to hear it. It may
shorten debate.”
The American proposal also is
sponsored by Britain, France,
Canada, The Philippines, Turkey
and Uruguay.

ACHESON SAYS
WAR NOT NOW
INEVITABLE
—
(By Associated Press)
Secretary of State Acheson, hold
ing that war is not inevitable, said
last night “if we keep always before
us that our purpose in building
military power is to enable us to
settle our differences by peaceful j
means, then we shall avoid the j
terrible error of talking and acting j
as though the end of our effort is ;
war.”
But the Secretary added that |
with the Soviet Union seeking world I
domination the west must build its '
power. Only on the basis of equal j
power can the Soviets be persuaded I
to modify their will to conquest, i
Acheson said at Freedom House in ;
New York City where he accepted i
the organization’s award for "lead- j
lng the Democratic nations against i
tyranny.”

First Cavalry
Finds Stiff
Opposition
By William J. Waugh
WITH US. CAVALRY NORTH
OF PARALLEL 38. Korea, Oct 9— l.fl
—Troopers of this famous Ameri
can division plunged in Red Korea
today and within 30 minutes ran
smack into stiff enemy resistance.
They are the first non-Korean
| Allied force across parallel 38.
Elements of the First Cavalry ad
vanced about a mile over the Red
line on a road leading northwest
out of Seoul toward the Red cap
ital, Pyongyang.
Then they were forced to dig
in under mortar, small arms and
automatic fire from commanding
I positions in mountains on three
! sides of the road.
This spearhead lost one tank to
' a land mine. The small arms fire
and a mortar caused some casu
alties.
Lt. Col. William Walton of New
ton, Kas., said the Reds were well
entrenched. However, the force
holding up the advance was not
believed to be large.
Six North Korean soldiers sur
rendered, but an intelligence of
ficer sad they were from troops
conscripted by the Reds in the past
few days.
"The officers up there won’t let
them surrender or retreat. Troopjs
who want to quit are shot," the
officer repjorted the prisoners said.
The cavalry crossed 38 just west
of Kaesong.
FAIRBANKS PAPER
IS NOT YET SOLD
SAYS EXECUTOR
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 9—E.
Medley, managing executor ol the
Lathrop estate, denies a statement
broadcast over the radio that an
interest in the Fairbanks Dally
News-Miner has been sold and that
its editor, William Strand, is "on
Ills way out.”
The statement was made during
a Democratic political broadcast
over Station KFAR and was des
cribed as “the best news in Fair
banks in a long time."
Medley said that under terms of
the will of the late Austin E. Lath
rop sale of the newspaper to any
one other than Strand is impos
sible.
"The News-Miner will not be sold.
It is a matter of public record that
Captain Lathrop gave Mr. Strand
a six months option to buy the
News-Miner and a year more in
which to complete the transaction.
He did so in recognition of Mr.
Strand's abilities and in apprecia
tion for his outstanding services
to the newspaper, the community
and to Alaska."
The broadcast statement said the
paper had been sold to C. W. L'ned
den, manager of the business and
mechanical department.
Medley said Sneddon was hired
to leave Strand free to pursue his
increasing duties as managing ed
itor and vice president of the Tan
ana Publishing Company.
He said Captain Lathrop had
complete faith that under Strand's
direction policies of the News- Min
er would be continued after his
death as they were in his lifetime.
“This was his wish and the exe
cutors of his estate intend to see
that it is carried out.”

5 AMERICAN
DIVISIONS
NORTH OF 38
Troops Roll Northward
After MacArthur Sends
Surrender Ultimatum
(By the Associated Press)
American troops rolled north of
the 38th parallel today after Gen.
MacArthur sent a final surrender
ultimatum to the Communist gov
ernment of North Korea in the
name of the United Nations.
Four South Korean divisions al
ready were across the parallel. One
of them, the South Korean Third,
hammered at the Red defense ring
around Wonsan and some troops
even were reported entering the port
city, main objective of their drive
up the east coast. Capture of Won
san would imperil the Communist
capital of Pyongyang from the east
while other United Nations forces
pushed up from the south.
Front reports said the main force
of South Koreans, only a mile
southeast of Wonsan, stopped when
It ran into heavy Red opposition,
including artillery fire.
Ready for Action
A dozen United Nations fighting
divisions were ready to carry out
the United Nations directive to take
whatever steps are necessary to
unify Korea. Most of these troops
were ranged along the 38th parallel
ready to strike at the Red heartland
behind the bulk of five divisions—
50.000 troops—already across the di
viding line.
U.S. First Cavalry units drove
through log pillboxes in the Red
defense line along the parallel
north of captured Kaesong. It was
the first American push across the
parallel. Allied planes, strafed and
rocketed Red troops concentrations
north of Kaesong. B-29’s hit North
Korean road and rail arteries.
Like the U.N. commander’s first
surrender demand of Oct. 1, the
“last time” ultimatum went un
heeded by the Reds. MacArthur
promised force—the power of some
175.000 men representing 53 na
tions—to back up his ultimatum,
which he based on the United Na
tions Assembly vote Saturday to j
unite and rehabilitate Korea. He
invited the North Koreans to co- !
operate in setting up a unified gov- \
ernment and promised them Just
treatment if they would lay down
their arms and avoid further blood- !
shed.
Reds Reassemble
MacArthur’s headquarters said
the Reds appeared to have reassem- j
bled a division along the western
half of the border area between
Hwachon and Kaesong. A spokes- |
man said it was the Red 18th Di- |
vision, which either has been rein- j
forced or withdrew intact from the ,
battle of Seoul.
However, air observation indi-:
cated the Reds were conserving I
their main strength for the defense j
of Pyongyang, 60 air miles north of j
the parallel near the west coast.
In South Korea there still were J
sporadic clashes with hopelessly
trapped Reds in the area around
Taejon, but the bag of Allied prison
ers was swelling rapidly. Mac
Arthur’s Sunday summary said it
totalled 55,000.
Pyongyang admitted for the first
time that U.N. forces were across
the parallel. A communique broad
cast from the Red capital said the
North Korean inflicted “heavy dam- j
ages on the enemy trying to ad- J
vance by crossing the 38th parallel.” j

'Hof Campaign
Is Now Ending
In Territory
Two Senators, Eight Repre
sentatives, to Be Elect
ed in First Division
Alaska's heated 1950 election
campaign winds up today.
The chief interest in tomorrow's
Territory-wide vote centers in
whether the Republicans or Demo
crats can win control of the Legis
lature, or, more basically, whether
the House and Senate majorities will
be friendly or opposed to Governor
Gruening and his administration.
The contests for two Territory
wide offices have failed to generate
much political heat.

surer Henry Roden unopposed, the
only other Territory wide contest is
for Commissioner of Labor. Henry
Benson, the Republican incumbent,
is opposed by Ross Kimball, Fair
banks.

Albert White of Juneau, the party’s
leader, has hit the campaign trail
aggressively to lead the G.O.P. drive.
