Large Convoy Reported Held In Edmonton

SEATTLE, (P)-Reports that a large motor convoy, bound for Alaska, is stranded at Edmonton, Alta, by Canadian refusal to grant permission to travel over the Alaska highway were denied in Edmonton last night as the Seattle Chamber of Commerce asked the Northwest Trade association to intervene in the dispute.
 The request was made by Glenn Darlington, chairman of the Seat tie groups Alaska relief commit tee, to the association president, Stanley McKean in Vancouver, B. C.
 w. J. Eveleigh, an official of Northwest Defense projects, said in Edmonton, however, that no Amercian trucks were stranded" and if the convoy "is in Edmon- ton, they haven't applied for per mission to go over the highway"
 "I issue the permits and they definitely haven't approached me. If they did apply here, they would get one since we would assume that all customs regulations had been complied with at the bor- der" He suggested that eff" con- voy is being held up it would be at the border.

 President Duke Mitrov { h opened the meeting with a. few well chosen, pertinent remarks, stating the purpose of the get-to- gether, and that he was pleased with the turnout of citizens.
 He stated, the meeting was call ed for the purpose of discussing a plan of city management, pro- gram of city planning, so that Nome could be a more decent and safe place in which to live. The meeting had been planned before the present storm which added much to the need for such con- certed effort of the citizens of Nome toward city planning.
 Mayor Dunbar and City Clerk Carrie McLain gave brief outlines of the difficulties the present city management was having with keeping income above expenses.
 Other citizens spoke of the need for a campaign to move the town to a higher location away from the beach, suggesting some of the worked-over mining ground north of the present site about three

was any more business before he adjourned the session. The hall was already largely empty.
 Molotov sprang suddenly to his feet and said: "The Soviet dele gation calls on the other delega- tions to express their views on disarmament"
 The other delegations were caught off-guard, but Philip Noel Baker, Britain's graying, slightly stopped Chief delegate promptly rose and objected that there was neither time nor preparation for such a debate. Molotov insisted but was overruled by Spaak.
 His insistence on the point, however, left no doubt that push ing the. disarmament plan would almost certainly be Russia's pri- mary concern during the remain der of this session.

United Assembly Swept By Fear Of New Tensions
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

NEW YORK, (HO--FearS of new tensions between Russia and the western powers over atomic con- trols, disarmament, the veto and other critical issues swept through many United Nations assembly Nelegations today as diplomats from 50 other member countries debated the challenging policy speech hurled into the assembly by Soviet foreign minister Wa cheslav M. Molotov.
 The Soviet leader topped off his speech yesterday with a four point arms reduction program, in cluding a request for action by the assembly, to try to get the United States to stop making atomic bombs.
 American and other major del egation members were reported considering what response they might make to his as well as to various charges laid down by Mol otoV in blunt, sometimes harsh, language.
 Warren R. Austin, chief United States delegate, had an opportun- ity to respond to the Russian lead CT today. He was scheduled to speak during the late afternoon assembly session, but aides re- ported he almost certainly would not revise the main body of his address.
 It was prepared before MolotoV tossed his oratorical 'bombshell in a lively session last night, and re- portedly deals in a conciliatory vein with the veto issue and other ~. N. constitutional problems.
 Molotov assailed Winston Chur- chill as prophet" of aggressive imperialistic circles" in America and Britain and blasted Bernard Baruch, U. s. member of the U. N. atomic commission, for allegedly holding militant philosophy" leading toward a new aggres- Sion."
 He attacked the American atom iH control plan as designed to give this country an atomic monopoly, asserted abolition of the veto would wreck the United Nations, and de- manded U. N. report on Ameri- can and British troops in foreign lands. Capping off his address with the four-point arms reduc- ton plan, he urged the assembly to act on it at once. This provided one of the most dramatic incl dents in the assembly, to date. ' Molotov had spoken in Russian. When he finished he had to wait &kough two long translations of his 7,000-word speech, one into English, the other into French. When the interpreters finished, assembly president Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium asked if there

 The dispute is the outgrowth of several similar reports recently. All of which have been denied by Canadian officials but which they agree have prompted discussions between Canada and the United States.

musical The production this time
will be no less an ambitious project

nothing to have been undertaken
when campuses were cluttered al
most entirely with co-eds. In itself
Of course, that was not catastrophe
thing, but it was enormously dis
couraging to a director trying to
cast musical. For all the "girl
show" tag attached to such COM
positions, they represent a fairly
balanced arrangement of the sexes
Accordingly, when one of the sexes
is away at war, university musicals
have little to do but become dor
mant.
In view of the fact that the prin-
cipal male roles in "Of Thee I Sing"
were played by Victor Moore and
William GaXton, as brilliant comic
team as the century has produced,
Director Floyd Sparks had the no.
ton that a lot of males probably
would have to be auditioned before
finding pair of likely performers
The idea turned out to be re-
markably sound. After the audi
tions, however, Mr.. S. has found
himself with a pair he deems highly
promising. The old Moore role of
Alexander Throttlebottom will be
played by Gilbert Await In Gax-
tons shoes, or the approximate
equivalent, the Cue and Curtain pro-
ductiOn will offer William Nc
Clellan.
Betty Lou Trowbridge is the girl
who will fill the role in which Wash

Venuta in the original production.

member, was Mary Turner, a girl
who could make corn mullins with
out corn.
"Of Thee I Sing" is scheduled for
two performances, next Friday and
