SECRETARY KRUC SPENDS DAY IN JUNEAU
Governor Kicks Reporters Out This Morning

The Daily Alaska Empires news ccverage of Secretary of the Inter- for Julius A. Krug's discussions this morning with Federal and Territor- ial officials was temporarily dis rupted when Governor of Alaska Ernest H. Gruening told the Elm pires editor that it was felt the presence of the press intimidated' those bringing Alaskan problems before the cabinet officer.
 The Governor made the statement as the hearings were being trans ferred from the more public Sen ate Chamber to the office of the Secretary of Alaska. In explaining the transfer for Secretary Krug, Governor Gruening remarked that the Secretary felt the Senate Chamber atmosphere was too form al and that the various officials would feel more free to speak in the less formal Secretarys office.
 The remark concerning the fin inhalation by the press was made on the trip upstairs in the pres ence of George Sundborg, author and statehood researcher and form CT reporter for the Empire. and Mary Lee Council, Secretary to Alaska Delegate E. L. Bob Bart lett. also a former newspaperman.
 The Governor was asked to re- peat the remark, which he did In the face of this barrier the Em- pire's editor and reporter could not attend the continuation of the hear ings. Secretary Krug was not available for confirmation since he was already in the Secretary of Alaska's office.
 However later, at an abbreviated press conference with the Secretary just before noon, when Secretary Krug was asked by the Empires edi- tor to confirm that he had felt the presence of the press would have eintimidated," the Secretary re- piled:

NEW WORKERS GO TO POLLS ON TUESDAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-- New York voters write an indirect yer dict on the 18th Congress tomor- row. Their primary may prove whether the recent trend that has bowled over some prominent mid western incumbents is likely to carry over into the populous east.
 Three torrid congressional races, one of which involves a measure of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's pres tige in his home district, highlight battles in which party candidates for 45 seats-a tenth of the mem bership of the House-will be pick ed.
 Other primaries and conventions tomorrow and Wednesday in Dela- ware, Utah and Alabama have at tracted little national attention, but run-off races in Texas Saturday for the Democratic nomination for governor and five house seats are being watched for indications of trends.

 VERDICT IS
 TOMORROW
DeeontroI Will Make An- nouneement Regarding
 Ceilings on Produets

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. - The nation will know by tomorrow eve ming whether it will pay ceiling prices again on meats, dairy pro- ducts and grains or whether those items will be allowed to follow their own price course.
 At 8 pm. Eastern Daylight Time tomorrow, to be exact, the price decontrol board has promised to announce it's verdict-with just five hours to spare before the deadline set by Congress. The board is op- erating in air-tight secrecy and there's no inkling of what it's deci- sion will be. But if the three-man board should hit snag and not make an announcement by mid night, then ceilings automatically will go back on those commodities.

CANNED FRUIT
 PRICES GIVEN
 BOOST BY 0pA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-OPA today raised retail ceilings on the 1946 pack of canned fruits and authorized a price hike of about six percent for household mechan- ical refrigerators.
 Examples of the increase for No. 2ia size cans of canned fruits are:
 For fancy halves of unpeeled apricots, two cents; fancy yellow cling peaches, one cent; fancy bartlett pears, seven cents; choice fruit cocktail, four cents.
 The increase also includes plums, figs, prunes and products made from fresh prunes.
 The price boosts are to offset higher sugar and wage costs, and in the case of pears and fruit cock tail-to meet requirements of the Barkley amendment of the new price control law, the announce ment said.
 The increase on mechanical re- frigerators will run from $10 to SIP for standard box, OPA said.

FLAPJACK WINNER

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-H. A. (Bud) Moore of San Francisco was proclaimed the winner of the international Sourdough reunion s world championship flapjack derby yesterday.
 Moores winning performance was turned in at Oakland as the veterans of the Klondike gold rush days of half a century ago brought their four-day reunion to an end. Others who finished included Mrs. Anna B. Horner, Los Angeles; Ringwald Blk, Seattle; and Fred Walford, San Francisco.
 The Sourdoughs and their ladies set out for home after four days of nostalgia "reminiscences about the old days. This was their 18th con- vention.
 Moore was adjudged the con- clave's most proficient hot cake tosser on the basis of the shape of the flapjack, its degree of golden brownness, his ability with the single and double Hips and with catching on the plate.

President Off Today in No easier 10 Visit

QUONSET POINT, R. l., Aug. 19 A no'easter failed today to daunt vacation minded President Truman.
 He took off shortly before II am, in an air-Sea rescue boat from his yacht Williamsburg" over choppy yaters of Narragansett Bay for the Navy War College at New port in a driving rainstorm.
 The President told reporters he would have lunch at Newport with Admiral Raymond A. Spruance in the Admiral's quarters at the col lege.
 The downpour started shortly af- ter the President returned from a two-mile, 30-minute walk about this naval air station with puffing panting reporters trailing sleepily in his wake.
 Mir. Truman conflued that his brisk pace jaunt averaged 120 paces a minute, The newsmen were not skeptical.
 The rain and New England geo. graphy furnished what Press Sec retary Charles c. Ross said were the principal topics of discussion between the President and two morning callers, Gov John O. Pas tore of Rhode Island and U. S. Solicitor General J. Howard Mo Grath.

KL0NDlkER5 TRIP
 LIGHT FANTASTIC
FIapjaek Contest al Oak land Was Main Fare for
 Sourdoughs Sunday
By Olen Clements

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Old- time Sourdoughs of the rollicking high north country tripped the light fantastic in ballroom that ylittered Saturday night.
 It was the annual ball of the hardy boys who made the great Klondike rush in '98. The place was the Colonial Room of the St. Fran cis.
 Fortified with tea tthere was a tea in the afternoon) and maybe a few jolts of red-rye swigged by those who indulge, they started their dance at the circumspect hour
 The Ragtime Kid wasn't there with his tinkling piano. But Curly Jacobs and his orchestra, which is the only way the program described them, was on hand
 Gone were the checkered shirts and the mukluks the SourdoughS wore on their feet when they mushed on the Dawson trail. h. stead, most were impeccably dress ed, sans the pokes of gold dust they once tilted on the bars up north.
 It's the first time the 400 odd Alaskan Pioneers have met in four years and they made up for lost time.
 Friday night they locked the doors of a banquet room and held forth until late in the night. Pres ident E. B. Velikanje of the Sour dough Association addressed them as did George Black, representative for the Yukon Territory, where most of the boys made their piles.
 Sunday they crossed San Fran cisco Bay to Oakland for their flapjack contest-a contest Savor- ing of the cold bacon and beans fare they knew in the long ago.
