TEEN AGE CLUB SHOE COLLECTION
 SUCCESSFUL ONE


 The collection of shoes for the people of Europe, sponsored by the local Teen Age Club, is now com plete, and it was a tremendous sue cess.
 When the teen agers started this project Zach Gordon, Club direc- ter, said today they were confi- dent they would have fine coopera- ton from everybody. But the actual response has far exceeded their ex- pectations. They have asked me to say thank you for them to all the people of Douglas and Juneau, tor it seems that just about everyone in both communities has had a hand in making this drive such great Especially helpful were the heads of the schools and all the teachers
 A final check on the exact num- Der of shoes ohtained has not yet been completed. However, 1t will run between 2600 and 2800 pairs.
 The contest among the rooms in the grade schools of Juneau and Douglas to see which could collect the most shoes has been spirited one. Winners in Juneau were the members of the Sixth Grade in Mrs. Carl Weidman's room; while the Douglas victors were the boys and girls of the Fifth and Sixth Grades in Mrs. Richard Peters room. A spe- Cial party is to be given in their hcnor in the Teen Age Clubhouse after school on April 5.

United States Savings Bonds have
made last minute Christmas shop
ping worries a thing Of the past for
wise Americans. In fact even though
you thought about what to give
members of your family or close
friends for a month of Sundays you
could not come up with a better
idea than Savings Bonds. Think of
Savings Bonds in terms of what they
will do for the recipient. For ex-
ample, bonds provide immediate
funds in the event of an emergency
and help to pay for education, trav-
ell, a new home or a dozen and one
other things which members of your
family dream about. Your gift of a
bond makes you a partner in the
realization of the fOndest hope of
someone you love. What more could
you ask of a Christmas gift?

Army Asks for Draft Of IS, 900
In December; D. G. May Call IS

The Army has asked for $4,000
draftees in December, 5000 more
than the initian call in November,
it was learned today.
The request has gone to the Mu-
nitions Board which will forward 1t
to Selective Service. The Navy and
Air Force, which are obtaining sufi-
cient numbers of volunteers to fill
their needs, do not anticipate calling
on the draft for any men.
The Army's monthly quotas are
expected to increase until they reach
10000 a month shortly after the
first of the year as the Army builds
slowly to strength of 100000
officers and men by next June 80.
Army officials said plans for re-
ceiving the first inductees in Novem-
ber were working out smoothly"
In the District 55 men were called
in November and officials estimated
today that the December quota likely
would run around IS.
Meanwhile, as deliquent regis
trants continued to keep District

Atomic Spy Charges
Held Up for Decision
By Full Committee
By Robert K. Walsh

The House Committee on I'm
American Activities today took
stock of legal ammunition it be-
lieves could lead to indictments
of three persons on atomic en-
ergy spy charges and prosecution
of others for perjury or contempt
of Congress.
Investigators indicated additional
witnesses may be questioned in
closed session today and tomorrow.
But until the full committee assem-
bles, probably on Friday, there will
be no decision on recommending
specific moves by the Justice De-
partment or on holding public hear
ings on atomic energy espionage
evidence, they said.
Before taking any action, We
want to sift it out first and try to
untangle some things" Representa-
tive Mcdowell, Republican, of Penn
sylvania explained.
With Representative Hebert, Dem
ocrat, of Louisiana, Mr.. Mcdowell
interviewed four witnesses yesterday.
Then he announced that on the
basis of testimony at closed sessions
in recent weeks he is prepared to
recommend court action against at
least three persons on charges they
"conspired to transfer important
military secrets to foreign nation,
namely, Russia"
He did not identify the persons
he has in mind except to say two
of them are scientists.
The committee, Mr.. Mcdowell re-
marked, is studying the record to
prepare possible charges of perjury
or contempt against some witnesses
who refused to answer questions or
against others who gave conflicting
testimony.
A subcommittee already has asked
the full committee to seek con-
tempt citation against Steve Nelson,
Communist Party organizer, who
last week refused to answer some
questions on grounds of possible
Standardization.
If the committee decides later
this week to abandon plans for pub
lie hearings on atomic energy as
poets of It's Communist spy investi-
CATION, 1t would not necessarily end
all public hearings at this time,
Mr.. Mcdowell said.

be conducted by the Army"
Meanwhile, the long list of defer
ments provided by the law and by

Summoned 10 Secret
Conference Friday

many have called a secret meeting
for Friday, presumably to plot new
steps in the battle for this block
AIDED city.
The Communist meeting is sched-
uled to be held at Potsdam
Soviet Army headquarters for Ber-
lin, the Western Press said. The
agenda and all other preparations
were reported to be strictly secret
Gn Washington, diplomatic
sources said reports from several
East European capitals indicate
that a number of leaders of So
Wet satellite countries are away
from home. They said this might
indicate that strategy meeting
of Communist leaders Is under
way in Russia.)
Attacks on West Renewed.
Russian controlled newspapers re.
newed their attacks on the Western
powers.
Taegliche Rundschau, the Official
organ of the Soviet Army, denounced
leaders of the huge i-Communist
rally September 8 as Fascist pro-
vocateurs." It blamed the anti
Communist leaders for the outburst
in which Russian soldiers and
Soviet-controlled police were stoned.
The Russians have sentenced five
young demonstrators to Is years at
hard labor for taking part in the
stonings.
The licensed Berliner lei
tung accused Americans of trying
to arouse the German people to war
against the Soviet Union.
Trizonal Merger Ready.
In Western Germany, the three
Western Allies advanced their plans
for economic recovery of their oc-
cupation zones. American Military
Government officials said economic
fusion of the French occupation zone
with the British American bizone
already has been agreed on.
Lawrence Wilkinson, economics
adviser to Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the
American commander, said that
effective next month the French
zone would be under q program Of
Joint industrial and export planning
with the bizonal area. Politically
and administratively, however, the
French zone will remain independent
This will permit joint planning on
a three-zone basis of industrial pro-
duction and transfers of goods. Mr..
Wilkinson said that henceforth i'm
ports, including food, will be allo-
Gated on tri-zonal basis.
American Troops Calm.
While the crisis wears on in Ber-
lin, American troops are showing re-
markable calmness, veteran Army
chaplain reported.
The Rev. Delmar L. Dyreson of
Washington, associate director of the
General Commission of Army and
Navy Chaplains, reported:
II have found the troops morale
good and their calmness is remark

unhappy people here, and that is the
