American Airmen Support Drive in Yunndn
 Province

CHUNGKING, May 19--A Chin- csc Army spokesman conceded that the defenders of the ancient city of Loyang in Honan Province are surrounded and cut off, but said the Chinese still retained 80 to go percent of the city and "are deter mined to hold it"
 The spokesman announced that the Japs who cut the east to west Lunghai Railway west of Loyang have joined forces with the invad- CTS of Shansi Province in further push which reached the railway town of Shanhsien, which is 49 miles from Tungkwan, gateway to the northwest, lying at the Yellow River elbow.
 Meanwhile Jap troops thrusting westward south of the Lunghai rail line, are declared to have advanced to point 58 miles east and south- east of Tungkwan.
 The Chinese offensive in Yunnan Province, aimed at junction with Gen. Stilwell's forces in north Bur- ma and reopening of the Burma road, is making further advances west of the Salween River, a spokesman said.
 Supporting that Chinese drive are American airmen, who attacked Tengchung and Lungling, princi- Ipal Jap bases in Yunnan.
 The Chinese troops are reported to have reached at two points the western slopes of the formidable Kaoli Range, running north ane south between the Salween anc Shweli Rivers.

 Instructed for Dewey

Republican delegates from Alaska to the Republican National Conven- ton in Chicago on June 26 were in- structed by the Republican Territor- ial Convention at Skagway Thursday to vote for Gov. Thomes E. Dewey as the nominee for President. The convention also adopted strong statehood plank in the platform.
 Delegates Elected
 Delegates elected to the Chicago convention are Albert White of Juneau, G. A. O. Bondy of Fair banks and Moritz Andresen of An- chorage. Alternates elected are Nels Strand of Nome, E. E. Robertson of Juneau and Mrs. E. A. Rasmuson of Skagway.
 Divisional Committeeman chosen were as follows Howard D. Stabler, First Division; Nels Strand, Second Division; J. C.. Morris, Third Divi- sion, and G. A. D. Bondy, Fourth Division.
 Anchorage was chosen as the city for the Territorial convention in 1946.
 Harmonious Session
 The convention at Skagway was most harmonious. E. E. Engstrom, also reelected as Chairman of the Territorial Central Committee, was Permanent Chairman and Robert Atwood, of Anchorage. was Perma- nent Secretary. Every division in Alaska was well represented by dele gates.
 The platform adopted contains the following blanks:
 We believe that Alaska is on the threshold of an era of great de- velopment and that the best inter- ests of Alaska require that govern mental controls of this development be vested in Alaskans themselves rather than in any bureau or bur- eaus in Washington, D. c. In order to accomplish this end at the earliest possible moment, we advocate the immediate passage by Congress of practicable Enabling Act which will permit the people of Alaska to form a constitution and state government and to be admitted to the Union on firm and equal footing with the original States. We advocate that the established procedural methods of admitting territories to statehood be followed by Congress in such enabling act with such ad- ditional and special grants and priv ileges as may be necessary and ad- vantageous for sound and prac- ticable state government. To that end, and to the end that consti- tutional convention of Alaskans be called for the purpose of forming a practicable constitution for submis-

Southern Democratic Revolt Is Si|en(ed by
 Big pepper-HiA vote
tBy JACK sTINNETT)

| WASHINGTON, May l9. - Ob- servers here are confident that the
 big vote Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida and Sen. Lister Hill of Ala
 bama piled up against their anti Administration opponents has just about silenced for good, so far as the November elections are con- cerned, any threat of a southern Democratic revolt.
 From all reports, the issue in both states was pretty clearcut. It was New Deal against anti-New Deal. l No two members of the upper cham Der are more loyal to the Adminis- tration than Pepper and Hill. Time after, time, they have carried the ball for Administration policies, on occasion when it was damaging to their own interests.
 The bulk of the argument against them in the primary campaign was that they were rubber stamps" for the New Deal.
 Had they been upset by any size- able majority, that threat of third party in the south if President Roosevelt is remoninated would have been something for the Presi- dent and the rest of the Demo- cratic party to cope with.
 It is true that Sen. Harry F. Byrd lD-Val did pick ID fiva. convention delegates in Florida, without cam paigning personally, but this wasn't greeted with any surprise here, es- pecially in view of the fact that Florida's voting population has pre- sumably changed greatly during the war years. Neither was it consid- cred significant. as trend away from the President.
 More important. in fact, is that not even the candidates opposing Hill and Pepper made any direct attack on the President in person. That's good old southern cus- tom-attacking the Administration but not the chief executive and head of the Democratic party.
 Few contests in the south will be more bitterly fought than those against the two senators Obser- vers here who had studied the sit- uation were frankly dubious that Hill or Pepper could win without run-off election and many pre- dicted that they couldn't even then. Unauthenticated reports reached here that large sums of money were thrown into the campaigns against them and in each case they had formidable foes: Senator Hill in James A. Simpson, Birmingham at torney; and Senator Pepper princi- pally in Ollie Edmunds, of Jackson vile, who ran far ahead of Peppers field of three other opponents. Both were experienced campaigners and popular with the voters.

Any bags that are stained while being filled are emptied and thrown away, plant officials reported, because of the possibility of a chemical reaction which might explode the powder.
 We had a big mystery around here several months ago." a plant foreman related by way of illus tration. "A number of red stains were found on bags and we couldn't figure out what caused them. Fi- naIly, after a chemical analysis oi discarded bag, we discovered te our amazement that it had beer
