FEDERAL HELP TO
MINIHG OPERATORS
PROMISEDJY DMA
Field Headquarters in Al
aska Will Be Estab
lished in Juneau
NEW YORK, Dec. 6—James
Boyd, chief of the new Defense
Minerals Administration, promised
full federal help today to minin''
operators who will increase pro
duction of defense materials.
Boyd told the annual meeting of
the American Mining Congress last
night that the new DMA, under the
Department of Interior, can help
mine operators.
1. Get a government guarantee of
a private loan for mining work.
2. Get a government loan.
3. Obtain contracts for disposing
of their output at satisfactory
prices.
A fourth method of obtaining aid
is available under the Internal Rev
enue Act of 1950. This allows an
operator to apply part of his in
come tax against payments for his
plant or for his equipment under
certain conditions. This aid is avail
able through the National Securities
Resources Board.
“We must get the maximum pro
duction possible, every available
pound, from existing facilities im
mediately,” Boyd said. “Second, we
must make concentrated efforts to
find additional deposits of ore.”
Applications for government
assistance should be sent to him
at the Interior Department, Wash
ington, Boyd said.
The DMA will not maintain a field
staff but will rely upon the Bureau
of Mines-Geological Survey teams
in various districts.
Among field headquarters to be
established will be ones at Juneau,
Alaska, Spokane, Wash., and San
Francisco.

The Washington
Merry-Go-Round

By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON — Sometimes I
think Washington has a hard time
catching its breath between wars.
. . Around the corner from where
I live is an old barrack, built to
house Northern nurses during the
Civil War. Built hastily, it was to
be torn down after the Civil War,
but the city grew, housing space
was scarce. It is still there, revamp
ed, cut up into apartments. . .Down ;
New York and Maryland Avenues I
are other barracklike buildings built j
during World War I, also to have j
been tom down afterward. Again |
the city grew, office space was
scarce. The buildings are still there
—ugly, cold in winter, hot in sum
mer, the remnants of war. . .Behind
the White House, along the Lincoln
Memorial reflecting pool, in Poto- I
mac Park are more temporary |
buildings built during World War
II, scarring the landscape like the
scars of war. . .Now, with the .news j
from Korea—more government ex- |
pansion, more broken homes, more !
ruined lives, more war.
Washington is a paradoxical place j
in wartime. On the surface nobody
is ruffled, nobody seems to give
a hang. . .Harry Truman has about
the same list of callers, many from
Missouri—Judge Bennett Clark,

ROSS DIES
GIVING OUT
NEWS INFO
—
President Truman's Offi
cial Secretary Expires
Suddenly at Desk
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6— UPI —
Charlie Ross, President Truman’s
official voice in day to day con
tacts with newsmen, is dead.
The President’s press secretary
succumbed at 5:50 p.m. yesterday
of a heart attack. He was 65.
A kind, gentle, sentimental news
paperman, Charles G. Ross was
catapulted into national prominence
when his boyhood friend, Harry
S. Truman, became President of the
United States.
As he would have wished it,
Ross died at his desk and, more
important, as a reporter.
"It was characteristic of Charlie
Ross that he was holding a press
conference when the summons
came,” Mr. Truman said in a state
ment. "He fell at his post, a cas
ualty of his fidelity to duty and
his determination that our people
should know the truth, and all the
truth, in these critical times.”
Ross, long an ace reporter for
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch—had
just reported to about 40 newsmen
on the second conference of the
President and Prime Minister Att
lee.
Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Graham,
the President’s physician, rushed
up from the White House basement,
tut he said later "he was gone be
fore I got there.”
Graham said Ross had had a
series of heart attacks, the last
major one about two months ago.
But not even some of the press
secretary’s closest friends were
aware ol tms.
The President and Ross grew up
together in Independence, Mo.,
where Ross was born.
As a newspaperman, he won a
Pulitzer Prize in 1931 for a story on
the depression outlook.
SNOW BLANKETS
NATION, CANADA
TO LOUISIANA
(By the Associated Press)
Snow pile4 up today in a long
strip from Canada into Dixie.
It formed a white belt across the
nation’s midsection from Lake Su
perior to Louisiana and from Iowa
to Ohio.
A blizzard, with gusts up to 40
miles per hour whipped up 24 inches
of snow in Superior, Wis. The fall
there late yesterday and today set
a record for depth in a short period.
The neighbor city of Duluth,
Minn,, had a foot of snow and It
kept falling. Winds churned up
three .foot drifts.
Minenapolis had a seven inch
snow coat and it was getting
deeper.
Flakes that began falling in I
Memphis, Tenn., before dawn were
expected to pile up a five inch
depth. Arkansas was blanketed
under one to four inches.
It was 33 below zero at Eckman,
N.D., 15 below at Chadron, Neb.,
11 below at Atlantic and Spencer,
la., eight below at Tarkio, Mo., two
below at Woodward, Okla.
A reading of six below set a low
record for Dec. 6 at Denver. But j
Frazer, Colo., had 30 below.
And Juneau had a four inch fall
of snow last night and plows have
been out clearing the streets.

EXCESS PROFITS
TAX MEASURE IS
PASSEDBY HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — \/Fi — A
huge excess profits tax bill bear
ing 378-20 House approval faced
the prospect today of major op
erations in the Senate.
Senator George (D-Ga), Chair
man of the tax-writing Senate Fi
nance Committee, predicted some
drastic changes for the measure in
the Senate, but he voiced confidence
j that Congress still will send the
i measure to President Truman be
fore the New Year.
Lopsided House passage came late
yesterday. The real test came on
a Republican effort to substitute a
GOP-drafted tax bill for that being
pushed by the Administration. Vot
ing on party lines, the House beat
down the GOP version 252 to 145.
The 20 who voted "No” on final
passage were all Republicans.
The House bill would impose a
75 percent tax on corporation profits
which exceed 85 percent of the av
erage earnings in the three best of
the four years 1946 through 1949.
The levy would apply to earnings
since last July 1.
The Senate Finance Committee is
known to be taking a long look at
the House formula.
NOME HAS BLAZE;
THREE BUSINESS
HOUSES DESTROYED
NOME, Alaska, Dec. 6—OW—A
midnight fire destroyed Nome’s only

Only a lack of wind was believed
to have saved other structures on
the south side of Front Street. The
fire, of unknown origin, was battled
in ten degrees below zero tempera
ture.
The flames destroyed the North
Pole Bakery, Northern Grill and
Scotty’s Bar and Liquor Store.
Tax Exemption Was
Sought by Producers
Of Essential Minerals
- !
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — —
Producers of all strategic, critical!
and essential minerals should be
granted exemptions under the ex
cess .profits tax bill, Rep. D’Ewart
(R-Mont) argued yesterday.
He told the House that the legis
lation which later was passed and
sent to the Senate exempts corpo
rations producing 14 listed minerals
and that this is “fine and sensible
as far as it goes.”
But he added:
“It appears wholly illogical, in-1
consistent and detrimental to the!
needs of the economy and defense
production program of the United
States to exclude copper, lead, zinc,
bauxite and all other strategic, |
critical and essential minerals from i
the exemption provided under . . .
the proposed law.”
D’Ewart said there are no known
deposits in the United States of
three of the 14 minerals capable of
commercial exploitation. He named
the three as platinum, tin and tan
talum.

STATEHOOD
BILL AGAIN
DISCUSSED
Bartlett Prepares for Ac
tion Next Congress But
| O'Mahoney Has Views
— ■ ■
(By Charles D. Watkins)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—UP)—With
Alaska Statehood apparently dead
for this year, Delegate Bartlett
began laying plans today to seek
early passage of a statehood bill lit'
the 82nd Congress.
But Senator O’Mahoney (D-Wyo)
chairman of the Senate Interior
committee and sponsor of pending
statehood legislation, refused to
concede defeat.
O’Mahoney said he had not given
up hope and will try again to bring
up the statehood bill if the Senate
will dispose of its pending busi
ness-rent control extension and a
railroad labor bill.
“The railroad labor act was one
of the excuses used for delay in
acting upon the statedhood bill,”
O'Mahoney told a reporter.
“If it is gotten out of the way
we can try again to bring up the
statehood bill.
RR Bill Is Question
"If no action is taken on the
railroad bill it will show the nature
of the opposition. I contemplate
no trouble on the railroad labor
act if the proposed amendment by
Senator Jenner (R-Ind) is not
offered.”
Jenner has said he will offer an
amendment to add a fair employ
ment practices provision to the
railroad bill.
Bartlett said he would like to see
the Alaska bill brought up in the
Senate within two weeks after the
new Congress convenes January 3.
“It would be unnecessary for the
Senate Interior Committee to hold
additional hearings on the bill,"
Bartlett said in an interview.
Action Next Congress
“It could report the bill favor
ably to the Senate quickly and I
believe the Senate could act quick
ly.
“I do not believe any filibuster
would be of such proportion that
it could not be beaten by supporters
of the bill.
“I would like to see the action
taken first by the Senate.”
He added that if House rules are
changed so as to again give the
rules Committee exclusive authority
to schedule major bills for House
consideration “we might run into
the same situation as we did in
1949 when the rules committee re
fused to report the measure to the
House.”
Committee Bloc
Bartlett recalled that the bill
reached the House last spring un
der a change- fn the rules by which
a committee Chairman -had the
power to call up legislation approv
ed by his group if the Rules com
mittee failed to act for 21 days j
after he had asked clearance of!
a measure.
Some Democrats have advocated j
restoring the full power of the
Rules committee to clear bills.
“I think that If the Senate pass
es the bill next session we will have
better opportunity to get it be
fore the house than If we start
our measure on the House side,”
Bartlett said.
Viewing the scene objectively, I
am still inclined to the opinion j
there is good chance of Alaska get- ;
ting statehood in 1951. We should:
know by next March 1.”

New Trial Is
Ordered, Case
Judith Coplon
NEW YORK, Dec. 6—Ofi—The
conviction of Judith Coplon on
charges of being a Russian spy has
i been reversed by a Federal Court of
Appeals. However, the court de
clared that her “guilt is plain" and
refused to dismiss the indictment,
i It ordered a new trial.
The Second Circuit Court of Ap
i peals yesterday ordered the new
I trial for the comely 29-year-old
! Brooklyn resident on grounds that
j her arrest without a warrant was
illegal. FBI wiretapping also was a
factor in the reversal.
Miss Coplon, former Department
of Justice employee, and Valentin
A. Gubitchev, 33-year-old Russian
engineer and suspended United Na
I tlons employee, were convicted last
j March. They were found guilty of
conspiring to transmit secret de
| fense information.
Each was sentenced to 15 years
in prison. Because of the tense in
ternational situation, Gubitchev was
allowed to return to his native Rus
sle—“never to return”—instead of
serving his term. He relinquished
the right of appeal.
His brunette and attractive co
defendant—married to one of her
lawyers after her conviction—has
been free in $20,000 bail pending
appeal. She also is appealing a sen
tence of 40 months to ten years im
posed previously on a Washington,
D.C., conviction of stealing govern
ment secrets. Yesterday’s reversal
here does not affect the Washing
ton conviction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — GPi —
Prime Minister Attlee of Britain
declared today there will be "no
appeasement” of Communist China
in an effort to halt the Korean
fighting.
"We all know from our own bitter
experience that appeasement doe;
not pay,” he told a National Pres.1

Attlee departed from a prepared
text to make this statement and tc
deny flatly reports that his govern
men Intends to “appease” the Chi
nese Communists.
He said: <
“I have been told there are some
people that believe that is what I
came here for. That is not true.”
Speaking slowly to a standing
room-only audience, Attlee touched
off a big burst of applause when
he said Britain intends to stand by
the United States in Korea.
He pledged that so long as "the
Stars and Stripes fly in Korea the
British flag will fly beside them.”

NEW ISSUE
TAKEN UP,
TWO CHIEFS
Truman and Attlee Discuss
Europe as Prime Center
Communism Conflict
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — '(jW —
President Truman and Prime Min
ister Attlee opened the third of
their Korean crisis talks today amid
reports they have agreed that Eur
ope is the prime center of conflict
with Soviet Communism.
Some diplomatic informants de
scribed this as the firmest point yet
developed in the discussions which
opened here Monday afternoon and
are expected to continue through
tomorrow.
By implication, the reported
agreement affirms the British view
—and one long held by many high
officials here — that the Western
Powers cannot allow a large portion
of their military strength to be
sucked into a conflict with Red
China.
Attlee returned to the White
House at 11:30 am. for a short
meeting with Mr. Truman, then
was due to go directly to the Na
tional Press Club for his only public
address in this country.
Responsible informants reported
that the Truman-Attlee session on
the presidential yacht Williamsburg
yesterday afternoon was concerned
with possible military and diplo
matic moves growing out of the
critical situation In which Com
munist Chinese forces have placed
U.N. troops in Korea. Among dip
lomats talk of possible fighting
evacuation—a kind of Korean Dun
kerque—continues although the U.S.
Defense Department has made ef
forts to minimize any such talk at
this time.
The talk of such a possibility has,
of course, always hinged on the
question of whether the Chinese
Reds continue their heavy military
pressure and the U.N. forces are
unable to establish a firm defense
line.
TROLLERS TO PRESENT
DECISON TO HALIBUT
COMMISSION MEETING
Nominations for United' Trollers
of Alaska officers for the coming
year and a discussion on halibut
took place at a meeting held last
night in the CIO Hall here.
Renominated for executive secre
tary for all union branches was
indy Barlow; for executive council
members for Local 100 Board, was
O. G. Nolde. Homer Saxman was
nominated for branch financial se
cretary; Carl Weidman, Cliff Ma
;on, Ken Millard and Herb Savikko
or the branch auditing committee.
There was a lengthly discussfo.^
on the different prices paid for
ialmon in the different ports. It is
he contention of all the UTA
tranches that equal prices be paid
it all ports during the fishing sea
son, using the Ketchikan Pish Ex
change as a basic minimum.
It was agreed that Local 100 pre
sent a resolution to the Interna
tional Halibut Commission meet
ing on January 25 in Seattle, a re
quest to allow trailers to sell at
least part of incidentally-caught
halibut.
The resolution read: "That all
incidentally-caught halibut taken
by trailers during the entire season
of trolling, be allowed to be sold
rather than thrown overboard as
oow practiced. We feel that the
trailers should be allowed at least
a certain percentage of halibut
caught incidentally with a reason
able amount of salmon. This should
be allowed to salmon trailers as
well as the blackcod fishermen who
rre permitted 14 percent of halibut
ilaught incidentally In blackcod
fishing.”
The trailers believe that most
of the halibut that are thrown back
into the sea after being caught on
a trailer line, die and are thereby
wasted.

No Hailing
Red China
Says Russ
iVishinsky Derides Plea
Made to Halt China
Forces, 38th Parallel
LAKE SUCCESS. Dec. 6—<if>>—
Russia’s Andrei Vishinsky today de
rided a direct appeal by 13 Asian
and Middle East countries to Pei
ping to halt its forces at the 38th
parallel in Korea.
He spoke before the U.N. Assem
bly. which soon afterward voted 51
to 5 (Soviet bloc) to place on its
emergency program a resolution
designed to halt Communist Chi
nese intervention.
Vishinsky said Red China and its
I people want peace, but that it must
come after the withdrawal of U.N.
forces from Korea.
The Soviet Foreign Minister told
the emergency session of the Assem
bly that the 13 Asian and Middle
East countries which appealed last
night for the halt at the parallel
were the same powers that sup
! ported crossing the 38th parallel
] when U.N. troops were advancing.
Appeal Is Made
India, wmcn sparKea- tne newest
direct peace plea to Communist
China, abstained from voting for
the northward crossing of the
parallel. The Philippines, Egypt,
and nine other Asian and Middle
East countries joined India in the
new appeal last night.
The Assembly went into its emer
gency session to discuss putting a
six-nation plea for halting Chinese
intervention in Korea at the top of
its program. This was advanced by
the big three western powers and
Norway, Ecuador and Cuba after a
similar plea was vetoed in the Se
curity Council by Russia.
Demands Quick Action
Carlos P. Romulo, Philippines
Foreign Minister and one of the
signers of the 13-natlon direct ap
peal, pleaded for quick Assembly
action.
"The peace of the whole world
may depend on what we do or fail
to do here,” he told the delegates.
Warren R. Austin, Chief U. 8.
Delegate, confined his Assembly
statement to a plea for putting on
the agenda "one of the greatest
questions faced by he U.N.”

EIGHTH ARMY
DIGS IHFOR
HEW DEFENSE
Marine, Seventh Infantry
Divisions, Trapped But
Optimism Expressed
(By the Associated Press)
Allied Eighth Army forces dug
in for a stand against overwhelming
Communist Chinese troops in West
Korea today while world diplomats
struggled to remove the danger of
the Korean conflict igniting into a
world war.
President Truman and Prime
Minister Attlee continued their
talks in Washington faced with
three possibilities:
1. That tne 1,000,000-man Chinese
Communist army might stop short
of the 38th parallel as it was urged
to do by 13 Asian and Middle East
nations at Lake Success.
2. That United Nations forces
might be able to hold a line thus
giving more time to achieve a satis
factory political solution.
3. That U, N. forces might be
forced to pull out of Korea in an
Oriental Dunkerque.
Trapped Forces
General MacArthur’s headquar
ters reported "decreasing pressure”
against Marines and Doughboys cut
off by masses of Chinese troops at
Hagaru and Koto in Northeast Ko
rea.
I Elements of the First Marine and
i Seventh Infantry Divisions are trap
! ped in the Changjln reservoir area.
Col. Lewis (Chesty) Puller, com
mander of the First Marine Divi
sion, was quoted as saying:
"We will suffer heavy losses. The
enemy greatly outnumbers us. They
have blown the bridges, blocked
the roads. Our vehicles may not get
through, but we will make it some
how."
In Great Peril
The whole 10th Corps of five
divisions is in great peril. It Is
over-extended and dispersed in the
7,000-foot mountains and sub-zero
cold of northern Korea. It may
soon be cut off from land com
munications with the south.
One Chinese spearhead has al
ready cut the main highway be
tween the two major east coast ports
of Hungnam and Wonsan. Hung
nam is about 50 air miles south of
Wonsan, 10th Corps headquarters.
Fighting Chance
The Eighth Army had *a fighting
chance in the west. The new de
fense line was not defined in de
tail by General MacArthur’s head
quarters. A spokesman said only
that it ran from a point south of
Pyongyang to positions south and
west.
