The W ashlngton
 Merry Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The battle of demobilization ragged hot and heavy behind the closed doors of the Sen- ate Military Affairs Committee last week. The issue was whether to ap- pease the Army. The Special Sub Committee on Consolidation head ed by Senator Edwin Johnson of Colorado had turned in a wither- ing blast against Army policies, and the Army had mobilized friends inside the Committee to battle it out.
 Chief battle revolved around the last of the Sub Committees nine recommendations. The first eight recommendations listed specific policies which the Army should fol- low to bring men home, as follows. l. Continue the present rate of de- mobilization 2, Shorten the train ing period for new draftees; 3, Dis charge fathers as soon as possible, with all fathers out by July l 4 Give more attention to hardship cases; 5, Idle soldiers to be dis charged at once; 6, Enlist WACs to do paper work in separation cen- ters; T, Filipino scouts to replace U. s. soldiers; 8, Civilian person. mel to replace G.I.'s for Army housekeeping work.
 Point proposed a Senate-Army conference, then added: If any of the foregoing recommendations is not to be carried out by the War Department. we urgently re- commend legislation be enacted

lounge, then moved to the forward lounge, with the rest of the pas sengers" Mrs. Aase said. Neither I noy my husband realized the ship was breaking up.' she added.
 She said she was not unduly alarmed and refused to be separ- ated from her baby, as were many of the other mothers.
 She said she climbed into life- boat with the child, and they were taken aboard the cutter Onondaga, where heroic Coast Guardsmen did everything possible for the com fort of the shipwrecked victims.
 Mrs. Aase reported the Guards men took complete care of several babies whose mothers were left on board the Yukon. She said the men warmed milk for the mothers of other children.

Woman Ressued from Yukon
 Says No Hysferia Prevailed;
 GaveUpHope, Then Aid Game

SEWARD. Alaska, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Gerald Roberts, Corcoran, Calf, among the 40 removed from the Yukon, gave the following account of her experience:
 T was awakened by a terrific noise and a jolt. A man came to my porthole and yelled for me to get dressed and go on deck. I did and he put lifebelt on me and gave me ar overcoat
 Several of us sat in the cabin joking. There was no hysteria.
 We knew we were on the rocks but were sure of rescue.
 After awhile, we were all or dered up front, because the back of the ship was breaking. Huge waves were coming over the tur- ret where we sat.
 Finally we began to give up hope and I believed the end had come, so did the others There was no hysteria.
 Just as we were resigned to death, motor launch from the Onondaga came up. It was the most welcome sight in my life. A rope was lowered and women and children slid down to the launch One woman fell into the water but was rescued. We were then taken to the Onondaga and brought to Seward"

lCKES SEES TRAP LIMIT pROp0SALS
 AS RESIDENT AID
Hearing Called February 21 10 Consider Redis-
 fribution of Sites

WASHINGTON. Ta0. 5.--Major companies may lose some of their salmon trap sites in Southeastern Alaska
 Secretary of Interior Ickes dis closed this in calling for a hearing on February 21 to consider redis- tribution of trap sites.
 Under one amendent proposed for discussion. Ickes said, the Alaska Commercial Fishing Regu- lations for 1946 would provide that maximum of 20 trap sites may be operated by any individual or cor poration. Last year eight com panies controlled 22l of the 397 available sites.
 The purpose of the proposed amendment Ickes said, lis to make it possible, by decreasing this concentration of sites in the hands Of a few major companies, to all low individuals. particularly resi- dents Of Alaska, to have an op- portunity to operate traps during the coming fishing season"
 Other amendments to be discus Sed at the hearing include sys- tenn of determining priority rights among competing applicants for the trap site which would be released by tEe limitation of 20 per person, These in general would provide a preference for residents of Alaska and small operators.
 Salmon is Alaska'S biggest indus try, the value of the pack reach ing about $75,000000 annually during the war.

BULLETIN Washington. Feb. 6. = Coast Guard Head quarters here announced today it had received . dispatch say ing all 496 persons aboard the wrecked liner Yukon had been removed.
 The dispatch from the Cedar, a Coast Guard rescue vessel, off Ketchikan, Alaska. said:
 Departing tfor) Seward with I16 survivors. Balance removed from Yukon to beach. Will re- turn tomorrow "Wednesday to assist in removal. All personnel now off Yukon and approxi- mately 100 landed on beach,"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-02-06
ALL ARE REMOVED

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. G. Removal of all of the 496 persons from the wrecked liner Yukon. which broke in two in a vicious gale on the rocks of Johnstone Bay, was reported early today by the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 About 100 were landed on the nearby beach by brooches buoys, the Chronicle reported. and the rest are in Seward or aboard the var ious vessels which overcame the porthland gale in tedious but sue cessful rescue operations. The re- port said the rescue ships were presumably taking all of the sur vivors to Seward. where 50 had previously been landed.
 Brooches Buoys Rigged
 Brooches buoys will be rigged, the Coast Guard said. to transfer the survivors on the beach at the scene of the wreck to rescue vessels.
 As the wind died and the sea be- gan to calm. rescuers fought with power boats, life rafts and the brooches buoys. and last night Brig. Gen. Harry Johnson flew over the scene and reported the survivors on the beach were huddled around bonfires.
 No Lives Lost
 Apparently no lives had been lost The Coast Guard Cutter Onondags, which took off the first 4a wo- men and children by power boat in the face of almost overwhelming odds Monday night. reported terse- ly to Coast Guard Headquarters at Kodiak that the number of res cued had reached 28l.
 Again and again the rescue craft messaged that there was no known loss of life and one report from the scene expressed confidence that all aboard would be saved.
 Half Vessel
 The Yukon, which struck the rocks in Johnstone Bay Sunday night after sailing from Seward, was only half vessel. It broke in two Monday night, the after part ,wallowing in the seas. Coast Guard reports said all the passengers and crew were believed safe in the firmly grounded forward section. Three men were washed overheard when the liner broke, but tug saved all three.
 Survivors To Seward
 The survivors were taken to Sew ard, where medicines and doctors and nurses were rushed by plane and train. All Seward opened its doors to the shivering. shocked ar rivals and the steamship Alaska was moving in from Kodiak to provide additional housing space.
 Terse messages from the scene wasted no words on deeds of hero ism. but the story was between the lines which told of carrying terri. fled children down cargo nets from the fractured Yukon to the power boats bobbing in the 20-foot waves: which said work is continuing by life raft" and which said brooches buoys were being rigged to the bow section of the dead ship.
 The three crewmen washed over board said they believed 20 or more others were missing. but no reports from the vessels standing by veri- fled the belief.
 When the l65-foot Onondaga took it's load of 48 survivors to Seward the Coast Guards lighthouse tend- CT Cedar took charge of the opera tions. with Army vessels and mer- chant ships aiding in the work. The Onondaga was back before nightfall.

WHO DID IT
AND WHY

For nine years the producers of the
Information Please" radio pro-
gram have been checking and ver-
flying answers to the thousands of
questions sent in by listeners. Book
after book had to be consulted be-
fore the rigid research standards of
"Information Please" could be met.
Why couldn't one-volume refer
ence book be published containing
enough authoritative material to do
the work of many books? The Dan
GoIenpaul Associates decided it
could be done. This is that book-con-
plete, authoritative printed in clear
vision type on quality paper-a mas
terpiece of organization, world COW
erage and cross-referencing.
