HIRST-CHICHAGOF
WILL REOPEN,
SOREjSEN SAYS
Fornfr Big-Gold Producer
Will Resume Operaton
-Closed Since 1943
Good news far Juneau is the an
nouncement by Paul M. Sorensen
that he is ;J)OUt to reopen the
Hirst-Chichagof mine on Kimsham
Cove.
Sorensen, who arrived in Juneau
yesterday by Pan American with
Mrs. Sorensen and their young
daughter, is engineer and general
manager of the Hirst, closed down
in 1943 when gold mining was sus
pended by the War Production
Board.
With the mine returning to op
eration, it will be the only gold mine
producing in southeast Alaska at
the present time. Only lack of labor
in the territory has prevented an
earlier resumption of operation, Mr.
Sorensen said.
For many years the Hirst-Chi
cagof was the second largest hard
rock gold producer in Alaska, sec
ond only to the Alaska Juneau.
Later it was lowered to third place
by the Independence mine of the
Alaska Consolidated.
Closed down since 1943, the mine
has been kept up by a maintenance
crew and Mr. Sorensen said today
he expected to be in full produc
tion during the winter. Some of his
key men afe returning to work with
him and plans include the rehabili
tation of the Chichagof power plant
that furnished power for both the
Hirst and Chichagof mines.
Crew of Sixty
At its top production the Hirst
had a crew of 60 with the mill op
erating three shifts and the mine
two. t
Fifty tons of ore a day were
milled by amalgamation and flo
tation process.
Only the fact that the Hirst
Chichagof has high grade ore makes
possible the opening of the mine
'■at this time. ■>
“Our dividends will not be as large
as they were in the past, but the
: directors and I agree that we should
be able to operate now and return
a reasonable profit.”
Since leaving Alaska Mr. Soren
sen has continued engineering and
mining. During the war, as army
Major Sorensen, with combat troops
he secured coal mines in Germany
and held them until joined by oc
cupational forces. In the Aachen
area, he and the men working with
him, were operating in mine tun

Washington,
July 17, 1950.
Dear Son,
It is a wet, rainy midnight and
I can’t sleep. So I am in the
office at my typewriter, with the
kittens trying to crawl up my pa
jama leg. It isn’t the rain that
keeps me awake, but some of the
problems facing the world, and the
fact that you and a lot of other
boys may soon have to go off to
a strange and distant battlefront
called Korea.
So' I have been wondering how
you, who will soon celebrate your
18th birthday, and a lot of other
boys around that age must feel
when you have to grow up, go to
school and plan your lives with a
sword literally hanging over your
head.
I know a little bit about this,
because I was in college when we
entered World War I. That, how
ever. was the first war America
had fought in a long time, and to
most of us it was a glorious and
exciting adventure. We did not
know at that time It was to be
but the beginning of a series of
wars. So we enjoyed the parades
and all the national enthusiasm,
and I remember vividly how dis
appointed some of us, who had
been pi ked for officers training
camp, vere when the Armistice
whistles blew. We even kept on

BUYERS, TROLLERS
SIGN AGREEMENT
ON COHO PRICES
Representatives of five fish buy
ing firms today signed an agree- j
ment with the United Trollers of I
Alaska, Local 100, to pay a mini- I
mum of 22 cents per pound for1
coho salmon and to increase by two
cents per pound the minimum prices
on small red kings and white kings.
This marks the first time in the
history of the trollers’ organiza
tion that a minimum price agree- ,
ment on coho salmon has been
made.
The 22-cent price goes into effect
immediately, Andy Barlow, execu
tive secretary of the UTA said after
the meeting here today.
The new minimum is an increase
of one cent per pound over the av
erage dockside prices yesterday.
At a meeting held July 1 between
buyers and the trollers’ union, prices
of 12 cents per pound on the ground
and 15 cents at dockside were of
fered. The trollers’ union refused
this offer.
A final meeting was set for to-1
day.
At the first meeting, the buyers I
stated that the size and quality of j
the fish in the coho runs could not!
be determined at such an early!
date, but would be known by today.!
The agreement on small red [
kings and white kings increased the
minimum prices on small reds to
23 cents and on whites to 22 cents.
Buyers present at the negotiating
session today were Jack Johnson,
New England Fish Company; A1 j
Whitmarsh, Polar Fisheries; Ed C.
Johnson, Oxenburg; Wallis George,
Alaska Coast Fisheries and Elton
Engstrom, Engstrom Brothers.
Representing the trollers’ union
were Barlow; B. H. Manery, O. G.

ALASKA STEAM
HIRING BRINGS
UP ALL DISPUTE
SEATTLE, July 20—UP)—A union !
leader filed new charges of unfair 1
labor practices today in the long- j
standing dispute over Alaska |
Steamship Compny hiring.
The charges were filed with the 1
National Labor Relations Board in
behalf of 90 individuals. They were
filed by Don L. Rotan, organizer of
the unaffiliated Pacific Marine
Stewards Union.
The union was formed in a break
from the Marine Cooks and Stew
ards Union (CIO) over the left-wing
issue.
The charges were leveled at the
steamship firm, the Pacific Mari
time Association and the CIO Ma
rine Cooks’ Union.
The charges are similar to those
made in behalf of all individuals
last November. A complaint was
issued on them by the NLRB re
gional office and a hearing was
held. The trial examiner never has
handed down his findings.
The charges filed today assert the j
90 individuals have been deprived of
jobs on the ships of the Alaska line j
since March 9 because of an illegal j
contract between the Maritime
Association, to which the company j
belongs, and the CIO union.
REGULATIONS FOR
WATERFOWL SHOOTING
TO BE OUTAUGUST 26
Waterfowl hunting regulations for
the 1950-51 season will be issued
about August 26, a month later than
usual, it was announced today by
C. Howard Baltzo, assistant re
gional director for the Fish and
Wildlife Service.
The added time is to give more
time for flyway biologists on the
northern breeding grounds to send
in their latest information and for
it to be analyzed, he said.
Season in this area opens October
1 or thereabouts. The definite date,
which will presumably be the same,
will be named when the regulations
come out.
This new announcement involves
not only waterfowl in Alaska, but
also coot, as well as birds which fly
to northeast states, such as scoter,
eider, old squaw ducks, doves, and
rails.

PROFITS TAX
DEMANDED ON
CAPITOL HILL
WASHINGTON, July 20— IA>>—De
mands arose on Capitol Hill today
for a multi-billion dollar excess
profits tax on corporations, to pre
vent profiteering.
A general tax boosting bill—pos
sibly putting larger levies on in
dividual incomes, along with higher
taxes on corporation profits—will
replace the $1,000,000,000 excise tax
lashing measure that Congress has
put aside.
President Truman gave notice
yesterday he will ask for more
taxes—he didn't say just when—to
help finance the extra $10,000,000,
300 needed for the battle against
Communist aggression, to curb in
flation, and to eliminate profiteer
ing.
His use of the word “profiteering”
was interpereted in Congress as
meaning he is certain to ask for
an excess profits tax. If the war
time 85.5 per cent rate and base
for calculating such profits were
restored, they would yield the gov
ernment about $8,000,000,000, one
expert said.
Bristol Bay Is Closed
After 13 Fishing Days;
One Area Still Open
Afte. only a few hours more than
13 days fishing time, three areas of
Bristol Bay were closed to fishing
last night by the Fish and Wildlife
Service.
Three areas were affected by the
order, brought about by insufficient
escapement to the upstream spawn
ing grounds and a poor run gener
ally.
Only area mot affected is that in
! Ugashik, where two canneries op
erated by Lemuel O. Wingard will
| go on until July 28, according to
present plans.
However, Wingard may find him
self deluged with boats coming in
j from the closed areas, and his
i stream may have to close much
earlier than that.
The three closed areas, with esti
mated times they had for fishing,
are; Nushagak, 13 days, 2 hours;
i Egegik, 12 days, 20 hours; Kvichak
| Naknek, 13 days, 9 hours.
The season opened for the three
| areas on June 25, less than a month
' ago. The area now remaining open
! didn't get started until June 28.
i The Bay’s run this year, which
t packed 567,392 cases up to July 15,
and expected to touch perhaps
1600,000 cases when the final fig
j ures are in, has been poor, operators
i have said.
Frank Hynes, fisheries supervisor
; for the Fish and Wildlife Service,
1 said he was informed by one op
I erator that between July 4 and 6
] a sharp run was experienced, but
before and since “it has dropped
| to zero.”
The areas would ordinarily stay
open until around July 25. This
l early closure is hoped to bring
I escapement up to around 500,00c
1 fish, according to an estimate by C.
I Howard Baltzo, assistant regional
I director of the service.
If this occurs, Baltzo said, it will
mean an extremely healthy run
i when the 1950 cycle repeats itself
I five years hence.
The closure is in effect until 6
| a.m. August 3, when the sockeye
run disappears, and dogs and other
lower grade salmon appear in the
streams.
Closures varied in each area be
cause of the added number of boats
working out of each cannery, Hynes
explained. Week end closures of
36 hours and mid-week closures of
i 24 hours were in effect in each re
I gardless of conditions, but these
| were lengthened from time to time
i because of heavy catches.
In some areas, 12 minutes extra
closing was tacked on for each boat,
and in other areas, 20 minutes extra
was placed into effeot. This ex
plains the difference in length of
each area’s fishing time. The Egegik
area had the most vessels, and
hence had the shortest fishing
hours.

WORKERS, ALASKA
CANNERIES, START
TO VOTE FRIDAY
SEATTLE, July 20—Ifl’l—The pol
ling place for an election among
3,000 non-resident Alaska salmon
cannery workers will be opened to
morrow at 607 First Ave.
Julius N. Draznin, National Labor
Relations Board field examiner who
is in charge of the election, said
the polling place also will be open
Saturday and Sunday.
An election was ordered by the
NLRB to determine which of three
unions will have the right to rep
resent the non-resident workers.
The workers will vote as they re
turn to Seattle from Alaska and
are paid off for the the season's
work.
Voters will have a choice be
tween the Alaska Fish Cannery
Workers Union iAFLi, Local 7-C.
International Longshoremen and
Warehousemen's Union (CIOi; Lo
cal 77, United Packinghouse Work
ers Union (CIO) or no union.
First workers returning from Al
aska are from the Bristol Bay
area. Some 300 have been employed
this year in that district. Workers
will return from other areas later
and the election will continue until
late in September.
The three unions have been
waging a vigorous campaign to win
votes among the workers, who for
merly were represented by the
Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and
Allied Workers, a union expelled
rom the CIO.

GEN. DEAN
"ABSENT"
AT FRONT
Whereabouts of Fighter Is
Unknown at American
Command Post
By WILLIAM K. MOORE
AN AMERICAN COMMAND
POST IN KOREA, July 20—LW—
The whereabouts of Gen. William F.
Dean, whose 24 th Division was
withdrawing from Taejon, was un
known tonight.
“I don’t know where General
Dean is,” said a headquarters
spokesman. “That does not mean
that he is missing.”
The big, fighting General has
been at the front all day. At one
time he was seen out with a tank
destroying squad. His ground fight
ers during the battle had knocked
out eight of 10 North Korean tanks
with 3.5 inch rocket launchers.
The spokesman said at 9:20 p.m.
(6:20 a.m., EST) that about 50 per
cent of the American units in the
Taejon area “succeeded in making a
fairly orderly withdrawal.”
One gun position may have been
“cut up rather badly,” he said.
In addition to the eight Red tanks
hit by the 3.5 inch ground-fired
rockets, air strike reports showed
that Allied planes knocked out five
more in the "outlying approaches"
to Taejon.
One of the eight tanks had pulled
up near the command post of the
34th Infantry Regiment and was
“firing in all directions when some
on' went up to the roof of the com
mand post and knocked it out with
a rocket,” the Army officer said.

India’s press today almost unani

President Puts Squarely
Up to Russia Decision,
World War III
(By Associated Press)
Congress reacted swiftly to Presi
dent Truman's call to arms in the
fight against Communism, although
some balked at the economic con
trols he proposed yesterday in his
proposal of a $10,000,000,000 mobili
zation program.
The President put squarely up to
the Soviet Union the decision
whether the Korean war will expand
into World War III. Diplomatic
observers said the next move is up
to Moscow.
The Soviet Union repeated today
that American and British demands
for withdrawal of the North Ko
reans to the 38th parallel should be
discussed by the United Nations
Security Council, presumably with
Communist China as a member.
I This is Russia's price for negoti
ating a peaceful settlement in Ko
j rea. The rock-bottom American

reans.

WASHINGTON, July 20 — Of) —
The Marine Corps announced today
that "all organized Marine Reserve
ground units are being called to
active duty.” The Navy said it was
calling "several” air reserve units to
active duty.
These first calls to the reserve
came as the Army made known it
was preparing to send additional
regular troops to Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur’s Far Eastern Command.
The Marines first announced
that all organized ground reserve
forces had been notified to be
prepared to go on active duty on
10 days’ notice.
I.a ter, a spokesman said: "The
call to active duty is now going out
to all ground reserve units.”
He said that for "security rea
sons” it would not be possible, at
least for the time being, to give out
a list of units or other information,
including the “call up" date for each
unit.
Army Flans
The Army announced that it has
alerted combat and supporting
units from each. of the six con
tinental Army areas for movement
in the near future to the Far East.
These are Regular Army troops.
The Navy said it could not an
nounce the reserve air units called
to duty, the number of men, or
the designation of their units.
Similarly, an Army spokesman
said there would be no elaboration
as to the numbers or designations of
the units it has alerted for move
ment to the Far East.
Army Statement
The Army statement said: “Sev
eral combat and supporting units
from each of the six Army areaij,
in addition to those previously an
nounced, have been alerted for
movement in the near future to the
Far East Command.’’
The six Army Commanders have
their headquarters at the following
points: 1st Army, Governors Is
land. N.Y.; 2nd Army, Ft. Meade,
Md.; 3rd Army, Ft. McPherson,
near Atlanta. Ga.; 4th Army, Ft.
Sam Houston. San Antonio, Tex.;
5th Army, Chicago and 6th Army,
San Franc?
Navy Recalling
The Navy statement said, “The
Navy is recalling several units of
the organized air reserve to active
duty immediately.”
A briefing officer said that the
borders had already gone out to the
selected units. He emphasized that
this was not a “warning or alert,”
but a formal recall to immediate
active duty.
The Navy air reserve is organized
around 27 air stations and includes
more than 350 fully organized squad
rons.
These units are organized into
fighter, attack, patrol, transport,
composite and lighter-than-alr
squadrons. •

First Phase of Struggle Is
Over-Bad Morale in
Communist Forces
(By the Associated Press)
The Communists hurled a strong
offensive into Taejon today and
the U.S. 24th Division was reported
withdrawing in heavy fighting from
the flaming key rail and highway
junction in South Korea.
A broadcast by NBC from Tokyo
<aid Taejon already had fallen. A
U.S. Eighth Army spokesman said
the hard-pressed 24th Division still
held the city at the end of the day’s
fighting, but a dispatch from a com
mand post said the division was on
its way out. By 9:20 p.m., Korean
time, a spokesman said, 50 percent
of American units in the Taejon
area "succeeded in making a fairly
>rderly withdrawal.”
The Americans apparently were
falling back to the Kumchon area
.vhere a new stand will be made.
But despite the retreat—it had been
predicted — Qen. MacArthur an
nounced that the North Korean al
ready had lost their "one great
chance” for victory by failing to
flatten South Korea before the ar
rival of the Americans in strength.
Two fresh American divisions now
are protecting the approaches to
Kumchon against a Communist
push in the east coast and central
ectors. Airmen reported heavy Red
mncent ^tions pj tanks and citil
lery in the central sector.
Reds Wrap Defenders
The Communists threw an en
veloping movement around the west
flank of the defending forces in
the Taejon area, stabbing out from
captured Irl*to take Chonju, roughly
40 air miles southwest of Taejon.
Allied airmen raked the Commun
' ists in this area. The Red strength
| there is unknown. Fire bombs
j rained on Kumje, near Chonju.
| The Communist, drive in the Tae

It was the first Communist at
tack in force on the bloody Kum
river front since the invaders won
their foothold on the south bank.
On the east coast, Yongdok, taken
by the Reds yesterday, also was in
flames from the mauling fire of
Allied warships and planes. Yong
dok is 25 miles north of the expand
ing beachhead at Pohang where the
mechanized First Cavalry Division
landed. South Korean troops
mounted an attack in the Yongdok
sector.
In the central sector Allied fighter
bombers hit two Red tanks in a
column between Tangyang and
Hamchang which has been pushing
in the direction of Kumchon astride
American supply lines to Taejon.
