Communists moved into the Korean
war, the general declared, “I haven’t
the faintest doubt that we would
have thrown them back,"
The Chinese moved in with large
forces last November and MacAr
thur's armies suffered heavy casual
ties in a long and bloody withdrawal.
Tells His Story
The five star general, deposed
| from his commands in a bitter poli
I cy dispute with President Truman,
was before a Senate unvestigating
committee to tell his story.
As he did when in an address to
Congress on April 19, MacArthur
said his proposals for hitting back
at the Chinese Communists with
air and naval power had been en
dorsed by the U. S. Joint Chiefs of
j Staff.
He said he could only "assume"
i that Mr. Truman or Secretary of
! Defense Marshall vetoed the joint
chiefs’ ideas.
Produces Document
To back up his words to investi
gating senators. MacArthur produc
ed a document which he identified
as a war study submitted by the
Joint Chiefs of Staff to Marshall.
MacArthur also said:
1. He believes a few additional
ground troops could wind up the
fighting in Korea if backed up by
air and naval action against Com
munist China such as he has rec
ommended.
2. He believes Russia is not in
position to "launch any predatory
attack from the Asiatic continent."
In that connection. MacArthur said
he believes the Soviet troops in Si
beria are there for defensive pur
poses. He expressed doubt the Rus
sians could move and support many
additional troops over the main
communications line, the trans-Si
berian railroad. This is already:
heavily burdened, MacArthur said.
3. As United Nations commander,
he made reports to the Defense
Department and there were some
times changes asked, or made, as
favored by the State Department
before they were passed on to the
UN. The general said these reports
passed through the State Depart
ment as well as the Defense Depart
ment.

From Skagway
(Special Correspondence)
SKAGWAY, Alaska. April 28 —
Mrs. Dwight Hanson and small
son Gary returned home from Ju
neau Tuesday afternoon by Alaska
Coastal. Gary was given medical
attention there.
M. V. Rafferty is spending several
weeks in Seattle with his mother
who is critically ill.
Mr. and Mrs. William Dewar
went to Juneau Wednesday by Al
aska Coastal.
A number of friends with gifts
and birthday refreshments called
on Mrs. Osborne Selmer Thursday
afternoon to give her a “surprise
party.” It was a definite surprise
since Mrs. Selmer in the midst cl
hcusecleaning, was busy scrubbing
floors, and the only room enter
able was the kitchen.
The “Senior Sneak” was held
Thursday and the members of the
Senior Class went to Dyea for a
picnic. Leaving two of the class
there—Charles Roehr and Jimmie
Beitinger, the other four—Dorothy
Cox, Mavis Irene Soidin, Stanley
Brown and John Hoyt, hiked to,
Canyon City on the old Gold Rush
Trail. They reported a wonderful
day, perhaps the most enjoyable
of all their High School Days.
A regular meeting of the Skag
way Woman's Club was held Thurs
day evening. Miss Price bi ought
two pictures on sanitation to the
Club, “The Dishwasher Named
Red ’ and "'Has.hslingin' to Food
handling." Mrs. V. Sparks announ
ced that the Recital would be held
Friday evening at the public schoo.
and that the unusually clever pos
ters around town had been made
by pupils of the Pius X Mission.
It was reported that seven pictures
had been purchased for the Public
School through the Colonial Arts
Exhibit. It was decided that the
quilt which has been made bj
members of the Club should be
awarded late in the summer and a
committee was appointed to handle
this. Miss Agnes Powi . Mis. Scl
din, Mrs. V Sparks and Mrs. H.
Dedman. Mrs. H. Sawyer and Mrs.
Hartson were appointed to act on
the Fourth of July Committee.
The White Elephant was won bj
Mrs. Sawyer. Mrs. L. Frolander
gave a most interestin': instructive
talk on Health Work in Sweden.
She said that salaries were low
but that the people woe happy
and industrious and w iked for the
welfare of the, country so there
are few strikes.
There aie low rents, no slums,
annual free vacations, old age pen
sions, pensions for large families,
rules governing women working—
pregnancy leaves and no night
work; strict laws governing work
of children, for children are loved
and well taken care of there. In
I 1953 ail will be required to take

Frank Glaser, Predator Contro’
man from the Fish and Wildlife
Service, spent a week in the Dyea
Valley cheeking results of the
poircn baits set out last month for
wolves. He found bodies of two
wolves and one fox that had taken
the poison and killed one more
wolf with a gas gun set. He found
no further sign of wolves or coy
i rtes and believes the poison bait
.0 have been quite successful. Mr
3laser is sending two of the
wolves' skulls to the Smithsonian
Institute. These are the first he
has sent from this region. The
Dyea wolves have much smaller
teeth than those in the Arctic,
probably due to the difference in
diet. The Arctic wolves feed on
caribou while these wolves eat
mostly salmon, rabbits and cthei
utffll animals.
The Annual Spring Recital spon
sored by the Skagway Woman's
Club was held in the H. S. Gym
nasium Friday, April 27. A large
