Commissioners Decline
Aid To Legion Corps

New Hanover county commits
sioners yesterday declined to give
any financial support toward send
ing Wilmington's state champion
ship American Legion drum and
bugle corps to the national con-
vention in New York city.
The commissioners at their
weekly meeting failed to waive
their rights of II IL per cent on
increased ticket prices for a bene-
fit baseball game at the Legion
stadium Wednesday night between
the Pirates and Red Springs.
William K. Rhodes, Jr, repre-
senting the drum corps, explained
to the commissioners that the
corps would stage a 20 minute
demonstration in connection with
the ball game. Prices for the event
would be increased from IS cents
to one dollar, Rhodes explained.
Rhodes offered to pay what Com
missioner Louis Coleman said
would amount to about six dollars
additional cost for burning the
flood lights for the extra 20 min
utes.
Commissioner George Trask said
that he did not believe there
should be any exceptions made in
waving costs.
The matter was dropped when
no motion was made on the pro-
posal. Chairman Addison Hewlett
was absent.
The county charges II - per
cent rental on the gross receipts
for each occasion the stadium is
used.

LOSE TWO FLOATS
 OF LOGGING TOW
 IN CHATHAM STR

Two sections of an Owens Broth CTS Logging Company tow enroute from Frosty Bay to the South Arm of Hood Bay were lost Sat- urday in Chatham Straits.
 The Owens Brothers tug Adak under Skipper Harvey Kyllonen of Ketchikan, had tow with a tota, length of 1900 feet. It consisted of a large Navy quarterbarge, al A-frame, light plant, tool shec and bunkhouses, all on log rafts.
 Rounding Point Gardner, at the South end of Admiralty Island, al o'clock Saturday morning, Kyllon- en hoped to get his tug and tow into one of the bays on the west side of the island before a wind could rise.
 However, an east-southeast wind came up, and the Adak was un- able to maneuver either into Will son Cove or Whitewater Bay with strong offshore winds forcing the long tow out into the straits.
 Two miles south of Point Cau- ton, at l230 p. m., the light plant broke loose and floated off At 5:15 the tool shed raft broke up,

ALA5kA PULP IS
 S0RELY NEEDED
 BY PAPER USERS
BIZ. HeintzIemdn Returns from 10-Monfh Trip in
 Behalf of Alaska Pulp

Necessity for development of AL aska's pulp timber is growing daily according to B. Frank Heintzleman Regional Forester of the U. s. For est Service. He said today that var ious pulp experts have stated that need for Alaskan pulp has grown because of the increase in U. $. consumption of paper and the dwindling of the pulp supply from Scandinavian countries.
 He sad that he had been inform ed that the Scandinavian countries will not be able to produce as much pulp as they did in pre-war years. This. plus the increased demand for pulp. and the already limited U. $. supply. Heintzleman said, gives con- siderable impetus to the need for quickly developing pulp prospects in Alaska.
 Two pulp manufacturers nave ex- hibited sufficient interest in SEE AL aska development, Heintzleman ex- plained to warrant opening two timber areas for bid This, he said, is the start of what he hopes will be a general development of the Alaska pulp industry.
 The Alaska Forest Service chief returned here via PAA Saturday following a ten months absence. He spent considerable time in Wash ington, D. C., New York City, Chi eago Portland and Seattle con- ferring with various government and pulp company officials on be- half of the Alaska pulp industry. Heintzlenlan has been working in the interests of such development for over 20 years.

PREDICT RUSS NOT TO BREAK
 U.5.RELAT|oNS
Believe KremIin Unwilling Overthrow Interndtion-
 al Negotiations

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-tR-- Despite Russia's all out battle against the Marshall Plan, top American informants now predict that the Soviet Union will stop short of a final breakdown of re- lations with this country at any time soon.
 This estimate, it was learned from official sources, ie entering into basic planning now ing un- dertaken for the Big Four Foreign Ministers meeting Nov. 25 at Lon don and German and Austrian peace settlements. It also figures in development of American poll cies in the current United Nations meeting at New York.
 The view is that Russia will campaign to the limit against the United States on great world issues but will not at this point be will ing to wreck any important piece of machinery for international ne- gotiation.
 This opinion is understood to have been presented to state, de- fense and other policy making of ficials by two American leaders abroad who returned to Washing ton a few days ago. They are Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith, American Envoy to Moscow, and Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American Commander in Germany

 Kyllonen stated today that the situation was an unavoidable one, tut that they were fortunate not to lose any of the bunkhouses in which the logging crew was rid ing. The strong winds, which he estimated at as much at 40 mph. blowing out of Wilson Cove and Whitewater Bay, made it impos- sible to keep the lengthy tow in- shore even though the Adak her self was as close in as possible.
 It is possible, Kyllonen said, that the light plant may be located probably in the vicinity of Basket Bay Any boatmen spotting the equipment are asked to contact the Owens Brothers Logging Company. The Adak, which was in port to- day, is leaving tonight to return to Hood Bay.
