2 FAURCr PAINTINGS
 ARE ON ExHEBIT IN
 SHATTUCK WINDOW
Artist to Locate in Juneau -PIdns Display ai Arts
 and Crafts Show

Now on display in Shattuck In- surance Agency's office window and attracting Juneau-wide attention are three portraits sketched by local artist, F. Seymour Faurot. De- picting types of Alaskan natives, the three pastels are part of a series to be undertaken by Faurot. The woman depicted in the group is typical of the Southeast Alaska native, while the two men are rep resentative of the Barrow type of Eskimo.
 Material for the portraits was gathered from the fine photo graphic and composite collection of Dr. George Dale of the Alaska Na- tive Service and Robert Sanford of the Federal Bureau cf Mines. While the work on display is not for sale at the present time, Faurot is plan ming one-man exhibit of his art accomplishments sometime in the spring.
 His portrait series will include twelve examples each from three different sections of the Territory the Northern Alaska type, the Ko- buck Valley and Central Alaska na- tive, and the Southeast Indian type which portrays the Raven clan of Southeast Alaska.
 Faurot, who is chairman of the Alaska Arts and Crafts Studio, plans to locate permanently in Ju- neau and is especially interested in the opening of a studio workshop that will embrace all types of arts and crafts activities. This particu- lar group project will include both adult and individual instruction for juveniles, intermediates, and adults.
 Faurot came to Juneau last Oc- tober with his brother-in-law and sister, MT. and Mrs. George Mat son, the former member of the Veterans Administration staff. While aboard the Princess Louise on the trip north, the artist did several outstanding oils on marine scenes inspired by the waters around Queen Charlotte Sound and Dixon Entrance. One of these will be shown at the coming Arts and Crafts Exhibit this month in the Scottish Rite Temple.
 He is contemplating a new inno- vation in non-objective painting at the present time and plans to en- ter this at the Exhibit also. The paintings, which is completely ab- stract, attempts to portray a mood instead of an actual subject.
 Faurot, who was formerly engag- ed in free lance architectural work in Idaho, attended both the Uni versity of Idaho and the Univer- sity of Washington in addition to Cornish School of Art in Seattle. He also studied under many such standing artists as Mark Toby and Mrs. Betty McCraight Morrison.

1913 Truman Victory
In California Seen;
PauIey Scouts 'Snub'
BY The Associated Press

Edwin w. Pauley, California
Democratic National Committee
man. predicted yesterday that "a
Democratic ticket headed by Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman will win
California in the 1913 election"
Mr.. Pauley thus differed with
Representative Holifield, Democrat,
Of California. who told the House
Friday that there may be a thee
way fight among California dele
gates to the 1948 Democratic ma
tionaI convention and a resultant
loss of the State to the Republicans
Ia the Presidential election. "A
Mr.. HoIifeld said such a split
would result from what he called
the stupid political action" of Mr..
Pauey. Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder and Gael Sullivan, execu-
tive director OF the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. Mr.. Holifeld
said Mr.. Pauley used his influence"
to cancel appearances Of Mr., Snyder
and Mr.. Sullivan at LIS Angeles
Democrats dinner Thursday night.
Refuses to Reply.
Mr.. Pauley said he had mo COM

rectly.
AS for the political situation to
which Mr.. Holifield referred, how
ever, Mr.. Pauley said he had moth
ing whatever to do" with the nom
appearance of Mr.. Sullivan and Mr..
Snyder at the dinner.
"Sullivan's reasons for not ap-
pearing are his own" Mr.. Pauley
said, and are best known by him.
7 know nothing whatever of reasons
why Snyder could not attend"
Mr.. Snyder cancelled his appear
ance at the dinner saying it was
necessary for him to attend a
cabinet meeting in Washington
Thursday.
Mr.. Pauley said he definitely dis
agreed with James Roosevelt. chair
man Of the Democratic State
Central Committee of California,
concerning "so-called policy state
ment." Mr.. Hohfeld told the House
this statement mildly criticized
the Truman doctrine"
Mr.. Pauley said Roosevelt was
wrong on both counts-Wrong in the
statement and wrong in bringing it
up at the time he did"
He said Roosevelt first proposed

ner, then promised he would not do
that; then he proposed to lay it be-
fore those attending the dinner in
written form and promised later not
TO do that"
Read 1t in Papers.
Finally, he said, Sullivan and I
picked up the newspa pers and found
the statement had been published"
AS for any accusation that he
"gratuitously" insulated Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt, who spoke at the din
ner, Mr. Pauley said that is not
true" He said the incident had
nothing to do with Mrs. Roosevelt
In any manner.
Il have always had the highest
respect for her, and for her position
In life" as the former First Lady,
Mr.. ,Pauley declared. adding that
neither Sullivan NOT I had any M

any way"
Mr.. Holiffeld said In his speech

members were killed. According to
CAA report, however, the accident
was caused by the pilots failure to
maneuver the plane to safe alti-
tude in the vicinity of the airport
before proceeding over unlighted,
high terrain lying on and near his
intended path.
Other major disasters on which
CAB has not yet reported its find-
ings but which have been sum-
married. by CAA follow:

port, killing the pilot and co-pilot
and injuring the passengers. The
CAA reported that the pilot appar-
emily was confused by the lightning
around the airport, particularly be-
cause of bad weather, and thought
he was. landing on a runway when
he dropped to the field.
On November Is, 1916, a Western
Air Lines DEB struck q mountain
near Lebec, Calf, killing eight pas
Isengers and three crew members
The CAA reported that the accident
was caused by the pilot letting the
plane down in mountainous terrain
when he evidently believed he was
in valley. Cited as a major con-
tributing factor was the unreported
strong southerly wind and the pre-
sence of static which affected radio
reception and made radio fixes some
what unreliable.
On December a. 1916, Western
Air Lines DC-3 struck mountain
near San Diego, Calf, killing nine
passengers and three crew members.
The CAA said the plane was being
flown at less than 1000 feet above
the highest terrain on the airway as
required by Civil Air Regulations
for night contact flights.
On December %, 1916, an Ameri-
can Airlines DEB crashed on a hill
side near Michigan City, Ind, kill
ing two crew members. The CAA
said full information was not yet
available but that it was possible the
plane ran into icing conditions.

Mack 5 Lead Slight {
lin First Returns From
Washington State !

OLYMPIA, Wash, June RE
publican Russell Mack took an early
lead over Democrat Charles Savage
in scattered, inconclusive returns to-
night from the special election In
Washington States Sd Compression
al District to select a successor to
the late Representative Fred Nor
man.
In 80 of the districts GOT pre-
cincts, Mr.. Mack had 2,oS8 to Mr..
Savage's 1872
The returns from i've of the dis
trict's nine counties were mostly
from small precincts.
Political observers viewed the
election as Of special significance as
an indicator of popular political
trends since enunciation of Presi-
dent Humans foreign policy and
Republican congressional enact
ment of new labor legislation. Both
have been major issues in the
heated campaign. t.-...
Mr.. Mack has been an outspoken
exponent of the foreign policy, while
Henry Wallace spoke twice in the
district as a supporter of Mr.. Savage.
Mr.. Savage based his campaign
manly on attacking the actions of
the Republican Congress.
Mr.. Mack, SIS, is a Hoquiam news
paper publisher. Mr.. Savage, Al,
is former lumberman's labor union
official and has been endorsed by
many labor organizations and State
chapters of the Progressive Citizens
Of America.
Most political commentators ex-
pressed the belief Mr.. Mack's
chances rested on a large vote in
the district which has swung un-
predictably between Republican and
Democrat in recent years, In line
with national trends. Rain in most
of the district during the day was
considered likely. however, to cut
the vote below the 10000 predicted
of State Elections Supt. Kenneth
Gilbert. A large vote was viewed
as Mr.. Mack's main hope, because
Mr.. Savage polled twice Mr.. Macks
total in the primary, which drew
only $4,000 votes.
The district is composed Of large
agricultural and lumber areas and
small industrial cities. Because of
the absence of voting machines, con-
elusive tallies were not expected
until three or four hours after the
polls closed at 8 pm. (midnight

III. n. Admission Seen
For Ex-Axis States
las Anfi-Red Measure
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June Earl,
admission of former Axis states tt
the United Nations was considered
today as a possible step toware
preventing a repetition of the Hun.
garian coup in other ex-enem,
countries.
Many U. N. delegates here ex
pected drive to admit Italy, Hun
gary. Bulgaria and other defeated
countries just as soon as the fou
major powers ratify treaties will
the former Axis states.
There were indications tina
Britain and the United States
particularly. feel it would be ad
visable to get the tanned Axis co,ln
tries inside the U. N. immediatel,
where their governments would b,
in a position to deal directly with
all other members on an equa
basis.
Ratifications Awaited.
The American policy thus far ha!
been that italy, Hungary and othel
ex-enemy countries should b,
brought into the United Nation!
Immediately after the treaties hav,
been ratified.
A step in that direction was taker
this week when the United State.
ratified the Hungarian treaty. Hun.
gary and Italy have applied for U. N
membership.
American sources here took tht
view that it would be better to have
Hungary inside the United Nation.
even If the government does no
represent the Hungarian majority.
They pointed out that so long a.
all Of the four major powers-Rus-
STA, the United States, Britain anc
France-do not ratify the treaty
with Hungary, the Soviet Unior
can maintain troops on Hungarian
soil.
Thus far, only Russia and France
have not ratified the Hungarian
treaty.
American sources hoped, however
that Russian ratification would be
forthcoming within the next two
weeks and the way opened for the
United Nations Security Council
Membership Committee to begin
consideration of Hungary's appli-
cation.
The membership committee was
expected to hold its first meeting
about July IS.
Delay Till September Seen.
American sources pointed out,
however, that even If the italian
and Hungarian applications are ap-
proved by the committee there is
no way to admit the two countries
to the United Nations before Sep
TENDER, when the General Assembly
meets in New York.
Actually, action on the applica-
tons can not be initiated until
treaties with the various Axis coun-
tries have been deposited with the
United Nations.
In the case of Austria, the Big
Four have not yet been able to
agree on peace terms for the coun-
try.
Secretary Of State Marshall has
threatened to bring the whole issue
Of a treaty to the UN Assembly in
if the Big Four fail to
reach an agreement.
The possibility of coup in Aus
tria appeared more remote. since,
unlike Hungary. the country is &C.
cupied by British. French and
troops, as well as Rus
sian.
