Hissing Plane
Search Goes
Into 22nd Day
No New Clues as 23
Planes Scour Areas for
Two Lost Aircraft
A pefsistent search for a miss
ing Canadian Pacific Airlines plane
which disappeared off Cape Spencer
went into its twenty-second day to
day. The search for an Arctic Ins
titute Norseman missing in the Yak
utat area was in its sixteenth day.
A Canadian Pacific Airlines Tok
yo bound transport, with 38 on
board, was last heard from off Cape
Spencer late July 20. Seven days
later the Norseman failed to show
up on a flight from a Malaspina
Glacier Institute camp to Yakutat.
The Norseman, piloted by Mau
rice King, had Mrs. Walter A. Wood
and her daughter, Valerie, aboard.
Wood is head of the Instintute’s ice
studies being made on Malaspina
and Seward Glaciers.
No new clues to either aircraft
have been reported. Twenty search
planes spent 150 search hours yes
terday combing sections that had
been previously obscured by fog.
23 Planes Up
Today 23 aircraft were continuing
the same operation under generally
good weather conditions.
Scheduled airlines have observ
ers on regular flights over the
areas of probability and Itiner
ant aircraft are alerted to watch
for any possible clues.
A 10th Air Rescue Squadron ski
w:heel equipped C-47 made four
glacier landings on the Juneau Ice
cap yesterday and may go to the
Arctic Institute camp on Malaspina
Glacier to remove that camp tomor
row, depending upon landing and
weather conditions, Lt. Col. W. G.

Legion Endorses
Pulp Mill, Asks
Power Price Drop
The proposed Indian Point pulp
mill at Auke Bay was endorsed
Friday night by Auke Bay Post
No. 25, The American Legion, in
its regular monthly meeting. In
a resolution which passed without
opposition, the Legion group poin
ted out the many advantages that
such a project would mean for the
entire Juneau area.
The Auke Bay organization al
so passed two resolutions pertain
ing to difficulties faced by the
Glacier Highway Electrical Associ
ation after hearing that group’s
problems outlined by William Nor
ton, association manager.
One resolution directed to the
Federal Power Commission, the
Alaska Electric Light and Pow
er Co. and the Alaska-Juneau
Gold Mining Co. demands a re
duction in the price of electric
ity sold to the co-op by the
light company.
It points out that the co-op is
obliged to pay three-quarters of a
cent more per kilowatt hour for
wholesale power than Juneau res
idents pay for retail electricity.
The resolution asks for an end to
this ‘'discrimination.”
Asks Loan Extension
The other resolution directed at
Congress and the Rural Electrifi
cation Administration requests an
extension of time for the co-op
to make the first payment on its
government loan.
The resolution declares that
"the co-op will eventually be in
a position to meet its obligation
but is in a difficult financial po
sition at the present time due to
high wholesale power rates ar.d
various delays which were caused
by the REA and contributed to
the co-op's problems.”

Temperance Union
Blasts Promotion
01 Home Drinking
BOSTON, Aug. 11—<*l—Distillers
and brewers were blasted today by
an officer of the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union for “almost en
tirely abandoning barroom drink
promotion to go all out to recruit
• living room and kitchen drinkers
among women and young people.”
Mrs. B. Blance Butts of EVanson,
111, corresponding secretary of the
400,000-member organization, told
delegates to the group’s annual con
vention :
“Nearly all liquor and beer adver
tising is increasingly promoting or
soliciting home drinking. The sol
icitation to drink that we hear over
the radio and television is high
pressure solicitation, voiced by an
nouncers who would obviously be
fired if they drank as much as they
ask their listeners to drink.”
In an address last night, Mrs. D.
| Leigh Colvin, president of the
WCTU, blasted "American diplo
macy with whiskey on Its breath”
and charged that heavy drinking ir>
Washington 'invites diplomatic dis
aster at one end of the country”
while drinking in Alaska "asks for
a Pearl Harbor at another."

Congressmen Up in
Arms Over Plant
Dispersal Policy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11— (*> —
Members of Congress from esta
blished industrial areas bitterly pro
tested Jxrday against President Tru
man’s^new plant dispersal, policy,
Mr. Truman's aim is to spread
out the nation's industrial instal
lations to make them less vulnerable
to any enemy atomic attacks. Bui
opponents argue the dispersal will
hobble rather than help defense
preparedness by draining vitaly from
existing industrial regions and forc
ing costly population shifts.
The administration has power
ful means to enforce the dispersal
policy—award of defense contracts,
granting of defense loans, alloca
tion of critical materials and other
measures.
As announced by Mr. Truman yes
terday, the policy is to disperse
new industry and expanding indus
tiy but not to interefere with es
tablished operating units. No part
of the country is to be built up
at the expense of any other section,
the President said.

’Honorable’
Discharges, W. Point
WEST POINT, N. Y. Aug. 11, —
iiT— Additional supporters, inclu
ding a lawyer and some West
Point officials, have been won to
appeals that honorable dischar
ges be granted a number of the
jo cadets accused of cheating at
examinations.
Such dismissals would permit
the cadets to leave the military
academy without the official stig
ma implied or contained In othei
forms of discharges.
The talk of the method of dis
missal in many quarters was
fast taking the place of debate
on wlipther the cadets should
be expelled at all. There were
indications that many of the ca
dets themselves were more an
xious to get the honorable dis
charges than to fight the sus
pension order.
Exactly what form the dismis
sals will take, and just how many
cadets finally will be affected, may
be known in the next few days.
Two screening boards now in ses
sion hope to complete examination
of individual cases sometime ovei
the weekend.
As the cheating scandal ap
proached its climax. It became
apparent In Washington that
Congress has definitely UecideS
against an investigation at the
academy.
Senator Russell (D-Ga), chair
man of the Senate Armed Services
committee, said today that he saw
"no need” for a probe by in
group. The Hou^e Armed Services
committee had taken a similar
stand earlier ths week.

(Associated Press Correspondent)
MUNSAN, Korea, Auk. 11 IM -
Vice Adm. O. Turner Joy told Com
munists in strong terms today they
had "slammed the door on every
attempt to make progress” in the
Kaesong cease-fire talks.
The senior United Nations envoy
aimed his words directly at Lt. Qcn.
Nam II, chief Red delegate, tor
Nam's inflexible stand on the 38th
parallel ns the only cease-fire line
acceptable to the Reds.
"You did not come here to stop
the fighting," Joy declared.
"You did not come here to ne
gotiate an armistice. You came
here to state your price — your
political price for which you are
willing to sell the people of Korea
a temporary respite from pain.
"You have engaged in these
conferences only to present de
mands, not to negotiate a solu
tion.”
When Nam left the conference
room at the end of the day's session
observers said he was “apparently
angry.”
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, an
official spokesman, said Joy de
parted from his "normally well
tempered, coldly logical phraseology"
in his most ‘•vehement" attack yet
on the Communists.
Nurkots said the negotiators
wrangled for two hours and 20
minutes and reached only one
agreement: to meet again tomor
row at 11 a.m. (5 p.m. today, Ju
neau time).
Joy’s blast apparently followed
l ie. failure to reach any sort of
compromise agreement with the
Hods.
Tlie communique said the Reds
“brusquely rebuffed” Joy’s sugges
tion that they indicate on a mop
their toneept of a buffer *zonc
“based on ihc present battle, line
and the overall military situation.”
Nam and his fellow Reds stood
pat on the "single and inflexible"
demand that the line be based on
the 38th parallel, old political divid
ing line between North and South
Korea.
Joy’s blunt words edme in the
afternoon session. He spoke for 35
minutes, then proposed a reces;
until tomorrow.
In agreeing to meet again Sunday.
Nam II said he would continue to
insist on the 33th parallel as the
military demarcation ling.
Defense Buildup
Out if Budget Torn
Down, Says Connally
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11— W —
Senator Connally (D-Ortnc) said to
day Congress can’t provide for a
buildup in the free nations’ defence
strength and cut military spending
at the same time.
Connally'* comment was made to
a reporter in announcing that the
Senate Foreign Relations and Arm
ed Services Committees will go to
work Monday on revising the $8,
500,000,000 foreign aid authorization
Dill.
The House Foreign Affairs
Committee has sliced SGSl.OOD.O'JO
from the total. Connally, how
ever, said he believes any size
able reductions made by the Sen
ate committee must come out of
the economic aid.
"Wc have to build up military de
fenses and we can’t cut down on
military spending at the same time,"
he said.
The bill pending before the Sen
ate committees would authorize $6,
300.000,000 in military outlays and
f2.200,000,00!) in economic assistance
to the free nations.
The House committee clipped
$550,000,000 off military and econ
omic funds for western Europe and
slightly more than $100,000,000 off
funds for other areas.
