Newsmen Asked to Reveal
Nothing Concerning
Missing Commander
TOKYO, Oct. 25—(Jfl—The U. S.
Eighth Army asked newsmen today
to “withhold any information re
lating to Maj. Gen William F.
Dean,” missing commander of the
U. S. 24th Division.
"It is very important that noth
ing be said” about the daring Gen
eral, a public information officer
added in a written request trans
mitted by teletype from Korea.
No information as to Reasons for
the request was given.
Since the Allied offensive began
in iiuu-b'epiemoer there have been
recurrent reports that Dean may be
alive. Some American prisoners re
ported recently they had heard
their eaptors talking about Dean—
but none of the prisoners had seen
him.
AP correspondent Leif Erickson
reported by telephone from Eigl/lh
Army headquarters tonight that he
had been unable to learn anything
new on the General's whereabouts
if he still is alive.
Dean disappeared July 20 during
the 24th Division’s bitter withdraw
al from Taejon, in South Korea.

ENROUTE, On West Coast—T do
not know what his family will have
written on the gravestone of Henry
L. Stimson, who died last week, but
I do know what I would write. I
would write: “Here Lies a Man
Who, When All Others Gave Up
Hope, Labored For The Peace Of
His Fellow Men.’’
Henry L. Stimson was Secretary
of State in the Hoover Adminis
tration when I was a young news
paperman covering the State De
partment. At first a critic, I grew
to respect and love him and to
consider him a great nian.
As I look back cn it I am ash
amed of the way I sometimes heckl
ed Mr. Stimson. Bill Flythe of the
I.N.S. and Lyle Wilson of the U.P
and I used to think up all sorts of
embarrassing questions to ask him
at press conferences. And once I
induced the late Fiorello La Guar
dia, then a member of Congress,
to tack an amendment on the War
Department appropriations bill so
that no money could be spent for
Stimson’s military aide. A Secre
tary of State, entrusted with keep
ing the peace, did not need a mili
tary aide. The House of Represen
tatives voted it—though the Sen
ate reversed the House and res
tored the appropriation.
Looking back on it, and consid
ering the great things Stimson did
for peace, he was entitled to the
extravagance of a military aide
if it tickled his vanity.
Strove Hard For Peace
Mr. Stimson was a queer mix
ture. He was Secretary of War in
two cabinets—Tait's and FDR’s. He

SEEKING
BUILDING
LOCATION
Seattle Firm Is Looking for
Site for Apartment
in Juneau
Myer Lurie of the Lewis Construe
tion Co., of Seattle is in Juneau
this week seeking a location for a
commercial and apartment build
ing. He is accompanied by his arch
itect, Earl Morrison of Seattle and
T. R. Sumpter of the Washington
Mortgage Co.
"We feel that there is a need in
Juneau for from 85 to 100 more
modern apartment units," Lurie
said today.
The Lewis Construction Company
is the largest builder of housing
in Alaska, having over $17,000,000
worth of Federal Housing Admin
istration insured projects under
way at the present time, all in
Anchorage. Lurie is conferring with
Clinton C. Staples, director of FHA
for Alaska on the contemplated
Juneau project.
Said Lurie of Staples, “He has
led the struggle for all this new
housing, not only in Anchorage
but throughout the Territory.”
Staples pointed out that the Lew
is Construction Co., was the first
large company to come to Alaska
under the FHA and that the oper
ations of the company were very
efficient. "This company has ov
ercome the high cost of utilities, for
an instance, in two of its Anchor
projects by building around a cen
tral plant supplying all services.
It also stockpiles equipment and
supplies in Anchorage by averaging
shipments of 28 carloads of mater
ial every week. Construction contin
ues the year around uncurtailed by
winter in contrast to the traditional
seasonal building which has been
common in the north. Concrete and
other exterior work is completed
during the good weather and inter
ior work is performed in winter."
Lurie added that Col. J. P. John
son, general manager of the Alaska
Railroad, and Kenneth Kadaw,
chaiirman of the Alaska Field Com
mittee had been most helpful by
assisting in expediting construc
tion in Alaska.
Lurie's company built the geo
physical building at the University
of Alaska. Current p.tjects in
Anchorage handled through the
Juneau FHA office are 682 units
costing $7,750^00 in the Panorma
View and Richardson Vista; 84 units
$950,0C0 in the Jefferson Court
Apartments; 80 units, $950,000 in
the Linda Arms Apartments; 360
units, $4,200,000 in Hollywood Vista;
128 units, $1,300,000 in the E. E.
Apartments; arid 280 units, $2,000,

SUPERVISOR SAYS
MORE SCHOOL BLDGS.
NEEDEDJN ALASKA
Kenneth Clem, education super
visor of the Territorial Education
Department, returned from a six
week survey of Alaska schools to
make a comment similar to that of
his chief, Dr. James C. Ryan, after
his trip to another district.
‘‘Enrollment taxes the capacity
of schools,” he said. “There are not
enough school buildings for the
number ol children.”
He visited three new schools
which were opened this fall—those
at Chicken Mary’s Igloo arrd Cop
per Center.
His tour took him to the Second
and Fourth Divisions. He also as
sisted in the field of another sup
visor—Dr. Dorothy Novatney visit
ing highway schools from Fairbanks
to Anchorage.
Dr. Novatney is now on a school
survey of the railway belt from
Seward to Anchorage, and will
continue via Prince William Sound
bcrore returning to Juneau in time
tor Thanksgiving.
FARMER TO PALMER
Bill Farmer, administrative as
sistant with the Reclamation Bur

DEMOS WIN HOUSE;
SENATE EVEN 8-8;
FINAL VOTE COUNT
With most of the absentee ballots
counted, the lineup for the lower
house of Alaska's legislature stood
today at 15 Democrats and 9 Re
publicans.
The Republicans have won six
out of eight contested Senate seats
to assure an eight-to-eight party
split in the Senate.
Only one House seat appeared
still in doubt. It is the fifth seat in
the Fourth Division. The unoffi
cial count of the absentee votes at
Fairbanks left Thomas A. Jones,
Nenana Democrat, ahead by three
votes. Before the count of the ab
sentee votes, he had pulled ahead of
Alden Wilbur, Republican, by 11
votes.
Two outlying precincts were still
unreported in the division. It was
the late reporting precincts that
allowed Jones to overcome Wilbur’s
early lead.
The House standings by divisions
'appears as follows:
First—Five Republicans and three
Democrats.
Second—Three Democrats and
one Republican.
Third—Seven Democrats and no
Republicans.
Fourth—Three Republicans and
two Democrats.
Latest returns today from Nome j
(Second Division), including absen
tee ballots but with one distant
precinct missing, for four House
seats were:
JMnes Wells (D) 902, W. W. Laws
(R) 893, George Madson (D) 857, j
Frank Degnan (D) 812, Peter Reader
(R) 738, Rose Bronson (R) 734, Nels
Swanberg (R) 664, Axel Edman
(D) 627.
In the Second Division's Senate
races, the two Eskimo members of
the house were apparently assured
cf election to the two Senate seats.
Rep. Percy Ipalook, Republican, a
Wales missionary, had 901 votes, and
Rep. William Beltz, Democrat, had |
633. Charles O’Leary, Democrat, who ]
had led the field on early returns, i
dropped behind with 809. Sen. j
Charles Jones, Republican, trailed j
with 727 in his unsuccessful race for |
reelection.
KIWANIS TO LAUNCH
XMAS SEAL DRIVE
NEXT WEDNESDAY
The Christmas Seal drive in Ju
neau will be launched next Wednes
day by the Juneau Kiwanis Club
which has sponsored the drive for
the past four years thereby retain
ing 20 percent of the funds for the

Harris will be chairman. He passed j
out kits of seals and posters to Ki- j
wanians at the regular luncheon
meeting today at the Baranof Hotel. J

Dr. Harris reported that 1948 was j
the best year on collections and em- j
phasized the importance of starting
early and winding up the drive as
soon as possible.
Among the uses of the Kiwanis
TB funds are such things as fur
bishing drugs for health clinics,
transportation for TB patients who
need it and assisting with education
for patients. Last year the club

SNOW SKIPS TOP
OF HAINES CUTOFF
Road experts in two offices here
were inclined toward unbelief to
day, on receiving the report of
Haines Highway conditions, right
after early snowstorms.
“The summit is open, there is no
snow,” Patrolman A1 Lubcke re
ported to Frank A. Metcalf, Highway
Patrol chief early this morning.
"A little snow on this side—at
the foot of the switchback—will be
cleaned off in just a little while.
“Cars are going through without
any trouble.”
The Alaska Road Commission re
ceived a similar report by William
J. Niemi, who drove from Anchorage
to assume his new duties as chief
of the operations division. He flew
in from Haines this noon.
Word from Canadian .officials of
the Northwest Highway System is
that they “will do everything pos
sible to maintain the Haines cutoff
this winter.”

COMMIES
MARCHING
ON TIBET
New Trouble Breaking Out
in Indochina as French
Lose Bastion *
(By Associated Press)
As the Korean war entered its
final phase, radio Peiping said that
Chinese Communist troops are mov
ing on Tibet “to free 3,00,000 Tib
etans from imperialist oppression."
The broadcast from the Red China
cap.ta! did not mention the size
of the army moving westward to
the mountainous region called "The
Top cf the World.”
In North Indochina
To China's south, French mili
tary spokesmen in North Indochina
said civilians are being evacuated
from Laokay, last French bastion
on the Chinese frontier. French
troops have been withdrawn from
outlying positions around isolated
Laokay and are digging defense lin
es in anticipation of further attacks
from Communist-led Vletminh reb
els. The French claim the Vietmirih
are being trained and equipped in
Communist China.
The report that Communist Chin
ese were marching on Tibet stirred
Asian capitals. At New Delhi, the
Indian foreign ministry said it had
reports of "certain troops move
ments and incursions” by Chinese
Reds along the China-Tibet border.
A Tibetan delegation which has
been seeking to settle Tibet-Chiina
relations peaceably is due to letive
Nuw Delhi today for Peiping to
continue talks begun with the Red
Chinese Ambassador to India.
The Communists have accused
Tibet of being friendly with Amer
ican and British "imperialists.”
The spiritual ruler of Tibet is
Dalai lama, a 15-year-old who is
under a priestly regent.
Other than the Red Chinese
broadcasts, there was no word of
march on Tibet, where already
winter snows and icy mountain
passes would make travel by foot
soldiers difficult if not impossible
at this time of year.

Southern Troops Thrust to
Near Border as Reds
Take to Flight
(By the Associated Press)
South Korean troops thrust within
32 miles of the Manchurian border
tonight in the drive to end the war.
Red Koreans fled in ox carts
and afoot before five northward
driving Allied divisions.
(At Tokyo, informed sources said
U.S. and British troops in Korea
will stop at least 20 miles short
of the Manchurian border.
(They said the purpose was to
minimize the dangers of a border
clash. Korea borders on Russian
Siberia as well as on Red China’s
Manchuria.
(South Korean forces will go on
to the border in pursuit of Korean
Communist remnants, these sources
said.)
The Republic of Korea (ROK)
Sixth Division was reported closest
to the Border. It was four miles
west of Hoemoktong and about 20
miles northwest of Huichon in
North Central Korea.
The Sixth veered northwest at
Huichon, taking the shortest road
route to the border-marking Yalu
river. Its route was carrying the
ROK’s away from Kanggye, reported
new command headquarters of Red
Korean Premier Kim II Sung.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 — l/fl -
The Air Force said today an Ameri
can F-51 fighter plane was hit yes
terday by anti-aircraft fire from
the Chinese side of the Korean
Chinese border.
A spokesman said the pilot flew
the plane out to sea but had to put
down there. He was picked up by
a United Nations naval craft.
He said the American plane was
three miles south of the border
when fired on from the Chinese
side.
This was the second report ©f
American planes subjected to anti
aircraft fire from across the Chi
nese border.
Dispatches from Korea yesterday
said two U.S. Marine planes were
fired on Monday. Neither was hit.
Statement by Marines
The Marines were quoted as say
ing they were five miles inside Ko
rea.
The Air Force spokesman told re
porters at the Pentagon that op
erations of United Nations planes
in North Korea normally are con
fined to an area 20 miles or more
from the border. They are allowed
to go nearer the border, he said, on
specific missions. The Chinese Com
munists have protested several
alleged border violations by Ameri
can planes.
Combat Cargo Lift
The Air Force spokesman said
planes delivered 1,200 tons of sup
plies yesterday to the Pyongyang
area. He said this was more than
enough to support all U.N. military
operations in that area. Of a total
of 300 sorties flown by the Air Force
during the day, 283 were listed as
“combat cargo lift.”
A sortie is one flight by one
plane.
An Army spokesman told reporters
he has been unable to obtain any
confirmation of reports that a Com
munist column is moving from near
the Korean-Manchurian border to
ward the South Korean Sixth Divi
sion, which is spearheading the
U.N. advance in North Korea.
The Army spokesmen said also
that no» information has been re

Gen. William Dean, former com
mander of the 24th Division, who
disappeared in July during the
battle for Taejon.
