'They won it again when the
Republican party was organized
in Lincoln's time. The people
must again have an opportunity
to speak out with their votes in
1948."
The bigger the peace vote in
1948, he said, "the more definite

left the youngest with his

"The generous outfit Of every

for the journey and which was
carried to the place of embarka-

by the inspectors on the wharf,
and no tears or entreaties or
offers of reward by the parents
availed to pass anything save a
scanty supply of clothing and
other necessities. Arriving in

They were taken to the Army
hospital at Nome. Their names
were not 'eleased Immediately.
The spectacular bush-pilot
rescues climaxed a series of un-
successful attempts by the Army
and the Air Force to reach the
wreckage by widespread air and
ground operations. Intense sub
zero cold forced N Air Force
CAT tow plane and glider to
make an emergency landing 80
miles north of Nome yesterday,
while Army dog teams and snow
vehicles were slowed or forced
to give up rescue attempts be-
cause of the then raging blizzard.
The rescue flights were made
between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m.
(PST), the four-hour span Of
daylight prevailing in sub-arctic
regions at this time of year.
Land Dog Teams
Earlier, the Alaska Air COM
mand at Anchorage said three
bush pilots had landed their light
Stinson planes, loaded with dog
sleds and medical supplies, three
and one-half miles from the
scene.
When Num- took off this morn
ing he carried two passengers-
Bud Highter, local photographer
and DR.. r. Ker redy. Whaley's
plane carried a dog-sled and one
passenger, Chuck O'Leary, ex-
Alaskan scout.
Brilliant sunshine over Nome

night or the measure dies.
Much of the government
marked time while the White
House was being ransacked Tor
the document. Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson, due to clamp
a ceiling on grain usage by dis
tillers as soon as the bill became
law, announced no action would
be taken tonight.
At the Commerce department,
officials working on a new vol
untary ALLEGATION plan for steel,
fertilizer and other scarce COM
modities, waited for the official
go-ahead before completing
plans to call the industries into
meeting here. Such voluntary al
locations are authorized by the
bill.
And in Kansas City Senator
Taft (R-Ohio), co-sponsor Of the
measure and a Republican as
pirant to succeed Mr.. Truman
in the White House, fired a re-
turn broadside in retaliation for
Mr.. Truman's denunciation Of
the bill last night.
Taft REPLIES
The administra alton "does not
need the police-state powers
which the President demands"
Taft told a Republican mass
meeting. He asserted that the
government now has power to
stop the increase in prices Of it
really wants to stop it."
The day-long delay at the ex-
ecutive mansion went unex-
planned until about $50 P. M.

"The anti-inflation bill has not
been signed. The bill was to
have been signed this morning.
It was rnislaid. It Is something

Secret Service men had been

said.

County Clerk Thomas K.
Woody said last night that ac-
cording to the minutes Of the
meeting, the decision to sell the

Trask Statement
In supporting the motion to
sell the property, commissioner
Trask said that "Small indus

Large industry may never

A special hearing into the e
matter decided today was held

The union had no legal right to

was the unioas only recourse,
the company maintained.
The union, represented by
Robert S. Cahoon, based its ac-
ton on an Interpretation OF a
section of the Taft-Hartley act
The Wagner act had tagge,1 the
NLRB as the Exclusive board

but the designation Exclusive
