Campaign Is
* Underway for
* Eisenhower
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15— W —
Supporters have launched a cam
paign to convince Republicans that
i Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is a
member of their party and that he
f'" Is available for the GOP Presidential
' . nomination.
This preliminary campaign was
agreed upon by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York and other Eisen
hower backers at conferences here,
according to some of those who
took part.
The general’s chief rooters also
were said to have agreed that when
the time comes—possibly later this
^ year—to bring the Eisenhower can
didacy out into full public view,
the impetus will come from Kansas.
Most of those now in the van
i guard of the GOP fiisenhower boom
are easterners, such as Dewey and
Senators Duff (R-Pa), Ives (R-NY)
and Saltonstall (R-Mass) and Rep.
Hugh D. Scott, Jr., (R-Pal.
But they apparently intend to
leave to Harry Darby, Kansas Re
publican National Committeeman,
v and Senator Carlson (R-Kan) the
responsibility for establishing chief
Eisenhower headquarters in Kansas,
the general’s home state. This w'ould
I cultivate the grass roots flavor in
the campaign for him.

' The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
t^ASHINGTON.—The more you
look into the operations of the Chi
na lobby, the more it is certain
that the American taxpayers'
money, voted to help Chiang Kai

the pockets of Chinese grafters and
American middlemen.
Some of these middlemen were
suspiciously close to certain Sena

more money be voted for Chiang
Kai-Shek.
Thus it's possible that debate on
the floor of the United States

Prospecting
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15—i/P>—
The Pish and Wildlife Service
started an abalone survey of the
waters of southeast Alaska today.
The agency said it has chartered
a survey vessel to explore the Gulf
of Esquibel and Sea Otter Sound
areas and also, if time and weather
permit to go into the Trocadero
Bay areas.
The Service said in a news re
lease that it had hired an exper
ienced abalone diver who will work
in the range from the beach to
60-fcot depth. Some deep dives up
to 100 feet may be made if condi
tions are satisfactory.
“There have been some indica
tions that abalone may be abund
ant in certain areas in southeast
ern Alaska, and considerable in
terest has been shown in a survey
for this species of shell fish," the
agency said.
C. Howard Baltzo, assistant re
gional director of the service in
Juneau said the abalone survey is
being carried out by Robert Liv
ingston of the Montlake labaratory
in Seattle.
The diver is W. E. Walker, well
known in Southeastern Alaska.

A
Chamber Will
Press for
Hearing
The Juneau Chkmber of Com
merce will continue to press for a
Congressional investigation for the
reclassification of Southeastern
Alaska waters, Curtis Shattuck,
head of a maritime committee, said
today.
"We will have representatives
at the Coast Guard’s meeting an
nounced for Oct. 24,” he said, “but
until we get the necessary relief
from current hamstringing regu
lations, we will continue on, ef
forts to get the Congressional hear
ing.”
At a regular Chamber meeting
Thursday it was stressed that
the congressional hearing was de
sired—not one by the Coast Guard.
Gov. Ernest Gruening who was
leaving for Washington, D. C.
promised to direct his efforts for
the congressional action. Delegate
E. L. Bartlett had previously prom
ised such a hearing could be ar
ranged upon request.
Yesterday the 17th district Coast
Guard headquarters here announced
that a Coast Guard hearing would j
be held in Juneau Oct. 24 “for the
purpose of discussing matters per- J
taining to the maritime industry I
which are peculiar to Alaska, and
over which the Coast Guard has
jurisdiction, principally with re
spect to marine inspection and
classification of the waters of
Southeastern Alaska.”
Operators have long contended
that the classification of these
waters as “coastwise” and not
“inland,” have placed excessive
burdens upon the operators of boats
and barges, thereby thwarting the
development of the region.
The Juneau Chamber took a
hand in the issye last May when
the Chilkoot ferry was unable to
continue operations due to strin
gent regulations. The Territory of
Alaska subsequently took over the
ferry operation in order to pro
vide Juneau with a link to the
Haines cutoff.

SEATTLE, Sept. 15—An embargo
on air freight to Alaska was an

shipments jammed storage space at
Seattle-Tacoma International Air
port.
The “freeze” on northbound ah
freight will be effective this morn
ing. George E. Hatch, western re
goin snles manager, estimated it
will take four or five days to clear
the jam
Pan American World Airways re
stricted movement of perishables on
its aircraft last Wednesday and
Thursday due to a pile-up of air
cargo.
D. E. McMorran, district traffic
manager said Friday the clutter
lias been cleared away. We can op
erate four extra sections but we do
not anticipate any backup the rest
of September.
Air Transport Associates, largest
nonscheduled airline between Se
attle and Alaska is "very busy.”
Northwest’s congestion resulted
from two causes, Hatch said. One is
that the Pacific airlift took a DC-4
freighter reducing Northwest's
northbound capacity for the time
being by 16,000 pounds a day. The
other is the airlift also took pilots
Northwest otherwise might use to
fly extra sections.
McMorran said Pan American’s
difficulties earlier this week re
sulted mainly from heavy move
ment of cannery workers south
from Juneau and Annette Island.
Pan American is flying about 2,000
"outside” from September 1-15. |

Dealers Get
OK to Hike
Price of Cars
' DETROIT, Sept. 15—(fl—Car deal
ers now have the right to hike their
prices to the public.
The Office of Price Administra
tion at Washington approved the
retail boost yesterday, a week after
permitting mnnufacturers to in
crease their factory prices.
The retail increase u» UituiidSd
to compensate for the higher manu
facturer’s price to the dealer.
The effect Is likely to be all but
universal in the industry.
All manufacturers have not ask
ed price increases. All of the big
three—Ford, Chrysler and General j
have done so, however.
Smaller manufacturers probably
will be governed by market condi
tions.
The price jump likely will be in
full effect by next week.
Ford and Chrysler were in posi
tion to make their Increases any
time after today. New prices may
become effective five days after be
ing applied for.
Ford and Chrysler applied last
Monday. They got approval from
OPS yesterday. General Motors ap
plied yesterday. Approval Is expected.
Ford’s increases range from $55
to $95, Chrysler’s from $90 to $400.
General Motors’ would be from about
$60 to $208. This is a span of from
2.5 percent to 6.5 percent.
Higher retail prices were permit
ted only on new cars. They may not
be applied to cars already In posses
sion of dealers.
Biologist Finds
Grizzly Bears
Are Gourmets
Grizzly bears, like discerning
people, prefer king salmon to the
humpback specie.
This was learned by Waltei
Kirkness, Alaska Department ol
Fisheries biologist, who has spent
most of the summer making sal
mon studies on the Taku Rlvei
watershed.
There was a large bear popula
tion on the Nakina River—about
one to every mile—, he said. It
was observed that the grizzlies ate
king salmon but would not bothei
to touch the humpies.
Kirkness is now working up the
results of the field studies made
made on king salmon and will
soon have some interesting infor
mation available.

Artillery
Barrage,
Korean War
Is Crashed Down in Six
Week 'Battle of Hills/ '
Tremondous Fire
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea. Sunday—
The heaviest artillery barrage on
the six-week “battle of the hills”
crashed down on the North Korean
Communists Saturday as Red In
fantry fought the United Nations
almost to a standstill on the wild
mountain front.
For 24 hours, guns of an allied
division poured high explosives,
white phosphorus and time-used
shells on die-hard Reds buried deep
in log, stone and earth bunkers.
Tremendous Fire
The tremendous fire was called in
as the aNled command, weary of
the Communists' fanatical hill de
fense, decided to give. the Reds a
taste of fire-power before sending
the allied Infantry back to the at
tack.
The foot assaults of the past two
days have been slowed and some
what held up by Communist death
stands that reproduced—on a smaller
scale—the cave and pillbox battles of
World War II in the southwest
Pacific.
Blazing Sector
In the blazing sector north of
Vanggu, where the hills sweep up
from 2,500 to nearly 4,000 feet from
narrow mountain valleys, the allied
infantry managed to take one of
several peaks but frankly failed to
take the others. A large allied uiflt
found itself unable to take one ridge
held by three Red regiments.
No Permanent Rebuff*
These repulse#, however, have
never been permanent rebuffs for
the UN troops, but only phases In
battles that’ hkvTMo faV aWft'yS'se#n'
the attackers eventually storm the
crests—although sometimes only
after several days or a week or two
of fighting.
On the west-central front, allied
troops with bayonets captured tra
tegic high ground northwest of
Humhwa after a two-hour hand-to
hand battle with Red troope.
New Red
The Red China radio charged
the United Nations with new viola
tions of the neutral zone at Kaesong,
site of the suspended Korean arm
istice talks.
The Peiping broadcast quoted a
Communist correspondent in the
Korean truce talk city as reporting
the alleged violations occurred with
in the past several days—since the
allies admitted a single mistaken air
violation Sept. 13.
Hunters Make
Inroads on Interior
Caribou Herds
Approximately 800 caribou have
been killed by hunters so far this
season in the Nelchlna herd near
the Olenn Highway, C. Howard
Baltzo, assistant regional director
of the Pish and Wildlife said to
day. He added that about 300 have
been taken from the herd on the
Steese Highway.
This Included up to last week
end when Baltzo and W. A. El
kins, wildlife management super
visor. made a check on the kills.
Baltzo said because of the heavy
killings there has been some talk
of closing the season early.
Normal closing for the Nelchlna
herd, which numbers about 4.500
animals Is Sept. 30 and for the
Steese herd, Oct. 15. There is a
winter season on caribou north of
the Arctic Circle from Dec. 1 to
Dec. 10.
Baltzo and Elkins' made their
survey arter attending the second
Alaska Science Conference at Mc
Kinley National Park. Elkins de
livered a paper at the session on
"Wild Fur Management In Alas
ka.”
Baltzo said there was a large
crowd at the conference which, he
added shows an Increase in scien
tific Interest In Alaska.
