returned to the Democratic party.

l^tSHINGTON—This is the last
column I shall write before taking
a couple of weeks off, and natur
ally I should like to make it a good
one. But I don’t feel so good about
the state of the world or the state
of the nation, and I don't get
much kick out of sitting back and
Peglarizing.
However, here are some con
trasts affecting our future which
the American public ought to know
about and which Congress will
have a chance to rectify—if it
wants to.
Contrast No. 1—Between 1,200 to
2,000 Chinese students are going
to Moscow every month to become
indoctrinated in the. ways of the
Soviet. Mao Tse-Tung, now the
Communist ruler of China, spent
a long time studying in Moscow,
and they will follow in his foot
steps. Twenty years ago the Rus
sians planned their domination of
China by setting up a special uni
versity of the Far East. The
monthly trek of Chinese students
across the Trans-Siberian Railroad
shows Moscow is still looking far
into the future.
In contrast, the U.S.A. used to
bring possibly 1,200 Chinese stu
dents , to this country a year,
against what the Russians are
bringing per month. Some of our
Boxer-rebellion-educated Chinese
went back to help run China, but
for about ten years almost no
Chinese students have come here.
When they do come they are
heckled and hounded with red tape,

DEFENSE COMMITTEE
DIVIDES CITY INTO
27 PATROL ZONES
The Juneau Civilian Cuncil for
Defense divided the city into 27
patrol districts when it met in the
City Hall for its second meeting
last night.
R. E. Robertson, chairman of the
committee, did not reveal the
boundaries of the districts, but he
said that the captains of each
district will be announced within
the next few days.
He said City Engineer J. L. Mc
Namara has been instructed to pre
pare district maps for the use oi
air raid wardens.
Identification cards, insignia
bands, and an oath of allegiance
are also being prepared, he stateu,
and a supply of air raid helmets
which were issued to wardens in
World War II have been located.
At its first meeting, the defense
council decided that the alert sig
nal in case of any enemy actibn
against Juneau will be a one-two
alarm on the city’s fire alarm
klaxon. The alert signal will be
sounded over and over again to
avoid its being confused with any
other alarm, it was announced.
The alert will not be sounded for
practice without being publicized
well in advance, it was stated.
No announcement has yet been
made of the action to be taken
by civilians in case an alert is
sounded.
RESIDENTS HIDE
AS WILD MAN ON
RAMPAGE, HOMER
Rifle Toler Threatens to
Kill Six - Distress
Call Answered
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 9—(jW
—A berserk gunman roamed the
streets of Homer, 125 miles south
west of here early today, as ter
rorized inhabitants hid in then
homes.
The rifle-toting wild man began
his reign of terror last night,
threatening to kill six men as he
started roaming the streets of the
homesteader’s town on the Kenai
Peninsula. He fired only one shot
but it was enough to keep resi
dents indoors.
Two deputy marshals, armed with
rifles and gas grenades, left here
by a Tenth Rescue Squadron plant
at 4 a.m. today in answer to a
distress call. They had been ad
vised to approach the man with
extreme caution and cut him down
if he starts a fuss.
First word of the incident was
received over the Civil Aeronautics
Administration wire from Homer.
U. S. Commissioner George Bishop
reported that “myself and five
other men were threatened to be
killed with a high-powered rifle
in his hands after he fired one
shot.’’
“We need experienced help, if
possible, so he may be captured,"
Bishop wired. “He is a large man
and apparently insane."
The gunman’s name with with
held until charges are filed.
U. S. Marshal Paul Herring said
lateness of the hour prevented
further communication with Homer
but he believes no one has been
injured. He said Bishop’s message
did not state what provoked the
rampage.
Homer is a town of about 325
population.
BILL FOR ALASKA
EXPER. STATIONS
PASSED BY SENATE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—Wl—The
Senate passed a bill yesterday to
increase authorizations for agricul
tural experiment station work in

ments. It would put experiment

PRES. GIVEN
WAGE-PRICE
CONTROL O.X.
House Grants Authority to
Impose Ceilings, Ra
tioning to June 30
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—MB—The
House approved broad discretion
ary wage and price control author
ity for President Truman today.
It adopted by overwhelming voice
vote the vital wage and price sec- [
ticn of an overall economic con
trol bill. The final ballot on the
bill may come tonight.
The section was a compromise
worked out by Democrats and Re
publicans after a week of bicker
ing had produced no progress on
the President's request for author
ity to light inflation.
In addition to giving the Pres
ident authority to order rationing,
,t would authorize him to impose
ceilings on wages and prices at his 1
discretion. But it suggests he first
try to hold down inflation through
voluntary agreements.
The President’s authority would
expire next June 30.
In determining price ceilings the
President would have to give “due
consideration” to, but not be bound
by, the price levels of the May 24- |
lune 24 period. He could not freeze
wages or salaries at a figure below
the levels that prevailed during
that period.
When price ceilings are resorted
to generally, the President would
have to peg wages at the sa<ie
time.
Still to be voted on before the j
entire bill clears the House and
goes to the Senate are standby
allocation, requisition and priority j
powers consumers and real estate
credit curbs and production loan
authority.
Earlier today the House junked
a proposal to compel the President
to slap on wage and price con- j
trols whenever living costs climb
five per cent above the June 15!
level.

debate over Korea, which Malik
used as a springboard for anti

and tried to ram through one of
his own condemning the Americans.

LE6M OPINIONS
IN TRANSACTION,
PALMER AIRPORT
FAIRBANKS. Alaska. Aug. 9. .tfi
-The News-Miner says an assistant
attorney general has held the con
tract between the Territory and the
Palmer Airport Association to be
valid but had said he had "no idea"
rs to whether it was wrongfully
I entered.
The newspaper said the opinion
was by Asst. Atty. Gen. John H.
Dimond in response tcj> Territorial
Auditor Frank Boyle's inquiry about
the legality of the $150,000 land
transaction.
Dimond's opinion described the
airport bills ns "valid and existing
obligations of the Territory," but
added that he did not know whether
the Territory and airport associa
tion reached their agreement im
oronerly “since I do not have suf
ficient facts to enable me to ascer
tain what was intended by the par
ies when the transactions occurred
. . . However, if there was anything
Illegal in such transactions, it would
seem to me the Federal Govern
ment would be the one chiefly con
cerned.”
The newspaper said that District
Attorney P. J. Gilmore of Juneau
said, v’hen questioned regarding
Rep. Marcus Jensen’s request for a
grand jury inquiry: "If a grand
jury investigation is indicated, it
should be in the Third Division, the
site of the transaction. Any investi
gation in this district is procedurally
incorrect.”
The News-Miner itself made the
original demand for an official in
quiry into the airport transaction.
It involved payment of $150,000 by
the Territory to the Palmer Airport
Association and repayment of $145,
000 of it by the association to the
Terrtiory. It has been described as
a transaction to increase the Fed
eral payment toward the airport
cost.
Jensen, a member of the legisla
tive committee to inquire into Ter
ritorial affairs, said the reason he
asked for a First Division iJuneau*
grand jury is that the vouchers were
paid in that division and the capital
city is the proper place for action
because it is a Territorial matter.
On Auditor Boyle’s inquiry about
continuing payments on the proj
ect. the newspaper said Asst. At
torney General Dimond replied:
"Your office has no legal basis for
refusing to make payments to en
gineers, contractors and others.”

STATEHOOD
BILLS RUN
INTO BLOCK
Objections Raised when
Attempts Made for Unani
mous Consent Passage
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9 — i.fl —
Backers of proposals to grant state
hood to Alaska and Hawaii yester
day made attempts to get the bills
passed by unanimous consent in the
Senate.
Both measures were blocked by
objections, but Senate Majority
Leader Lucas tD-Illi served notice
lie wants the issue debated again
before Congress quits -and without
any parliamentary tricks.
Lucas told the Senate he “has
heard" that an attempt will be made
to add controversial civil rights
legislation to the Alaska or Hawaii
bill.
“I certainly hope that doesn't hap
pen,” he said.
Alaska, Lucas said, v"is one of our
outposts . . . vital to the defense
of all the states" and should be ad
mitted to the union. Its admission,
he said, would “open the frontiers
. . . for millions upon millions of
persons,” and should be debated on
its merits without using any subter
fuge.
Senator Knowland (R-Califi told
the Senate he believed Hawaii is
equally important, and that Lucas
had not emphasized its statehood
bid sufficiently.
"The situation in the Pacific
makes it especially important,”
Knowland said. ,
“Hawaii has much to offer in
helping America to understand the
Far F.ast and the Far East to under
stand America."
The statehood bills came before
the Senate under procedure by
which bills may be passed only by
unanimous consent—one objection is
enough to block passage. There were
objections to each measure.
Lucas predicted both would be
considered again later under regular
procedure for debate, with a ma
pority vote to decide their fate.

NEW HIGH REACHED
IN GLACIER VISITS
The Forest Service reports a new
high in registration of visitors to
Mendenhall Glacier. In a recent 28
day period, 1959 visitors signed the
register book. Experience has shown
that less than 40 percent of the
visitors register. This means that
approximately 5.000 people went to
i admire the "most visited glacier in
; Alaska” in that short period.
Although the number of visitors
i is impressive, the places from which
j these people came is even more re
■ vealing. Folks from Maine to Cali
fornia and from Florida to Wash

! District Forest Ranger Hardy; in

Foreign visitors, too, are promi

RED FORCES
FACING TRAP,
PUSAN DRIVE
United Nations Troops
Making Best Strides in
War-Enemy Battered
i By the Associated Press)
North Korean Communists pre
pared to flee from burned-out
Chinju today ahead of a strong
American offensive in the south,
and other Reds retreated on the
Central Naktong river front in the
j best day for United Nations Forces
-ince tlie war began.
Marines and Infantrymen in the
three-pronged southern offensive
threatened to snap shut a trap on
thousands of Red troops who had
been massed for a drive on Pusan.
The Reds were menaced by a pin
cers movement only seven miles
away from a linkup.
Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters
summary quoted U.S. airmen as say
ing the Reds were getting ready to
abandon Chinju, which was to have
been their jumpoff point for a drive
on Pusan, U.S. supply base 55 miles
to the east.
Enemy Battered
To the north, Americans and
South Koreans battered enemy
forces which threw bridgeheads
across the Naktong river, menacing
the road-rail junction of Taegu.
The South Koreans wiped out one
bridgehead, and Americans, sup
ported by some fresh troops, reducea
the others in bitter fighting.
Communiques and front reports
for tb* most part contained the
j most cheerful Korean war news to
j dale, particularly In the central and
I southern sectors.
In the southern United Nations
"limited offensive," U.S. 35th'Regi
mental Combat Team troops
punched to within seven miles of
Chinju, Red jumpoff point 55 miles
west of Pusan. The southern arm of
the offensive swung toward a
join-up with the 35th after Marines
and Fifth Regimental Combat team
troops burst out of a bottleneck In
a night attack personally ordered
by Maj. Gen. William B. Kean.
Enemy Caught off Guard
The 5th Combat Team troops
drove to a point five miles west of
Chindong and Fifth Regiment Ma
rines fought several miles southwest
of Chindong in the drive to join up
with the other Americans. They had
been blocked in the areas foi* two
day,s by fierce North Korean artil
lery fire, but their night attack
caught the Communists off guard.
Thousands of Red troops have
been assembled in an area ^ust to
the north of here and th» new
American thrusts threatened td cut
them off. The enemy was said to be
rushing down reinforcements from
the north and throwing t^iem a
peacemeal in the Chinju theater in
a desperate effort to prevent the
junction of the Americans at Pan
song, about eight miles east of
Chinju.
