A NEW SCHOOL ADDITION
 FOR WRANGELL

Industrial growth such as is now coming to Mrangell brings with Is inevitably municipal headaches.
 One Of the most severe in this community at the present time Is our critical school situation. NeA families coming to make this their nOme means that school enrcli- nent will, and has, leaped far d head of the facilities. We all ap- rreciate what the lumber mill and shingle mill have done for tLe town already = and 1t is only the beginning. It would seem to be our place to do something too. II new families come, one of their first concerns will be what kind of a school is there for our children?
 New families will bring new Eomes and added revenue in taxes. Ii the town about doubles it's pop ulation in the next year or two, as many predict, it is out of the question to think the added young sters can be crowded into the pre- sent inslitutions. There are already approxima tely 100 more pupils i'll the school now than it was origin ally built for There seems to be but one answer - enlargement UI the school.
 A bond issue has been proposed and a special election is due in the near future to vote on it. It will take 65 per cent of the voters to pass the issue. Between now ana the time Of the election it will De well for us to investigate the mat ter. Why not visit the school ana satisfy ourselves of the need? Me are pretty sure it will take oniy one visit to be converted to the need.
 Another thing to be considered is that at the present time there Is a competent contractor is town. lie will be finished shortly at the lumber mill and if Wrangell votes for the school addition he could be put on the job without the expenss of bringing another in.
 But one way or another it should get moving. There are teachers contracts to be signed, living quarters to be found, if we're 10 have the new addition, equipment to be ordered and scores of details which cannot be attended to until the votes are counted.
 Let's get the bond issue unde. way and get the school ball rolling WrangelI must keep its educational facilities abreast of it's industrfa. development if it is to prosper permanently and become the lum- per capital of Alaska as it is now destined.

Nine Army and Air Force civil
ian employees have been dis
missed for disloyalty, six of them
because of Communist connec-
tions, since Congress recessed
last July, the Army announced
today.

such as belonging to alleged nation

were at posts outside Washington,
we're signed by Secretary of the
Army Royal. This was followed by
a full review by the Secretary's Loy-
atty Review Board during which
the worker was given an opportun-
ity to submit written briefs, Kenneth
D. johnson, special assistant to Mr..
Royal, said. There is no oral ques-
tioning at the boards reviews.
The dismissed workers also have
the privilege of a final appeal to

Sweden must give up her right
of the free choice of imports and
take instead such things as
American motor cars, costly furs,
nylon stockings and perfume.
She must agree to devaluate

BY the Assoeiaied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 19.-An
eight-nation ARAB" Subcom-
mittee on Palestine today for
mally challenged the authority
of the United Nations in any
attempt to partition the Holy
Land into separate Arab and
Jewish countries.
The challenge was contained in
the report of a subgroup appointed
to present the Arab viewpoint to the
57-nation Palestine Committee OF
the General Assembly. All Of this
subgroup's membership is Arab or
Moslem.
Last Touches Put on Plan.
The report was submitted as a
nine nation subcommittee put the
finishing touches on complete plan
to partition Palestine. Both reports
were expected to be ready for debate
by tonight.
The Arab" group recommended
that the Assembly postpone action
on the Palestine question until the
International Court Of Justice could
clear up legal points raised by the
Arab countries. This would mean
an indefinite delay on final Pales-
tine solution.
The Palestine Committee OF the
Assembly was given assurances by
subgroup chairmen that the rival
partition and Arab independence
proposals for the Holy Land would
be ready for opening Of final debate
by tonight.

open general debate Immediately on
both proposals and hopes to reach

In the committee, partition will
need only a simple majority for
passage. There it will meet the
full force of Arab opposition. The
plan then will go to a final bal
lot in the Assembly itself, where
the same nations sit, but with a
two-thirds vote needed for ap-
proval.

A call by Secretary of State
Marshall for a halt to Rus
sia's "inflammatory" propaganda
practices set the stage today for
a new effort to settle what he
termed the "disturbing" Soviet
American conflict over the fu-
ture of Europe.
In his most strongly worded
speech as Secretary of State, Gen
Marshall last night accused Moscow
of deliberately" provoking Amer
ican animosity and goading us into
active resentment"
Since the "brazen and contempu-
GUS" Soviet propaganda affects the
stability of the world" he declared
ut is time to call halt to such in
f1ammatory practices"
