 Big Question
Senator Vandenberg Makes Suggestion Re-
 garding More Spending

WASHINGTON, June 19.-lR- Senator Vanoenbergs proposal for a bipartisan survey of how much more aid the United States can safely give foreign countries seems assured today of State Department blessing.
 It is uncertain, however, whether the Department will accept in full the foreign assistance planning pro- gram laid down last Saturday by the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee or whether it will suggest some modifications of that plan.
 Undersecretary of State Will Clayton told a news conference yesterday that so far as Vanden- berg's proposal has to do with the study of American resources and the ability of this country to send further help abroad he considers it very wise suggestion.
 But in so far as determining how much foreign countries need, Clay ton said, that is matter which those countries can best determine themselves, subject to checks by State Department and other Amerl- can economic officials abroad.

Doetor, Respirdtor Flown from Juneau But Trip
 Called Back, Boy Died

Death, as the result of electrocu- ton, came at 2 am. today to a l6- year-old Haines boy believed to be Owen Lewis, son of MT. and O. l. Lewis of Haines. According to mea- ger reports received in Juneau, the young man received severe charge of electricity at o'clock last night while working on a motion picture projector
 At 1130 pm, aid from Juneau was asked and Shell Simons of the Alaska Coastal Airlines immediately began warming up a plane to fly Dr. c. c. Carter and Howard Dilg, with the City Fire Departments respirator to Haires. Meanwhile, a change in plans came through and Simmons was asked to go up in a land plane instead of seaplane. Because of the delay in changing planes and waiting for weather clearance, Simmons was not able to take off until LAS am. At 2 o'clock, while enroute to the scene, Simmons was notified by radio that the boy was dead and that he should return to Juneau.
 The boys identity was not made positive because of fading com- munications signals which prevent ed a clear message from getting through. Tentative arrangements were made with the Charles w. Carter Mortuary to care for the body and they are awaiting final word

|QUEEN CONTESTANTS MAKE BIG HIT, LAST
 NIGHTS STYLE SHOW

It has long been said that Ju- neau has perhaps more than it's share of pretty girls, and this was amply demonstrated last night when the loveliest of them all, the 16 Fourth of July Queen candidates. put on Style Show at the Capitol Theatre.
 Starting with a smart tennis out fit, the girls modelled summertime cotton frocks, silk afternon dresses, cute hostess pajamas, suits and gla- morous evening gowns, doing it with almost the casual ease of profess sional models, to the accompani- nient of enthusiastic applause from the audience.
 The wardrobes so charmingly displayed by the young models were furnished by the Channel Ap- parel Shop, Stevens and B. M. Behrends Store The Queen Contest committee and all others taking part in the July Fourth celebration preparations have voiced sincere thanks and appreciation to these merchants, and to Homer Garvin of the Capitol Theatre, for their gen. erous help and cooperation.
 Poster pictures of the Queen con testants are appearing in most downtown store windows, and as the time grows shorter the compe- tition is expected to become more keen, with activity on the part of the girls and their sponsors being speeded up.
