Several times during the evening
the spotlight was on Nancy Jane,
vocalist for the band, who sang sew
eral popular song hits.

 ALA5kA BY PLANE

Delaying his trip to Zurich, where he will be American Airlines man. ager. for one more trip to Alaska, H. c, A. Meili, Northwest Sales lAanager for A arrived in Juneau Wednesday on Pan American and continued his trip to Ccrdova and Anchorage on Pacific Northern Airlines today.
 Meili was in Alaska last year and says that the Territory's scenery is more like that of his native Switzerland than any he has seen
 "Alaskans don't have to be sold on air travel" the American Air lines official said. They are ready to go any place, anytime, by air plane. However, my trips to Alaska will enable me to tell the European traveller about Alaska as a tourist country"
 Mir Meili who has been with Airlines eight years, opened his company's Seattle office last year and soon afterward made the roundtrip to Anchorage to acquaint himself with Alaska. He said that he is recommending that trips to the Territory by his company representatives be of longer duration. There is so much to see. A month. at least, even when time is saved by flying, can be pleasantly spent in the Terri tory"
 This trip will take Meili to Cor dova, Anchorage, Fairbanks and back to Seattle, a shorter trip than he had planned before his trans fer.
 When he reports in Zurich August 20. it will be on his. third trip to Europe since last spring. His parents live in California, but his sister is resident of Switzer- land, and his return to Switzerland will be taking him to his native land for he was born near St. Moritz and when the skiing sea- son starts his birthplace will see Mir. Meili and his sister on the worlds most famous ski runs.

President Says lnformd- lion Brought Out AL
 ready Known 10 FBl

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-lR-- President Truman flung a red herring" charge today at Con- gress members busy probing into alleged Communist infiltration of the government and spying" dur ing the war.
 He said the Senate and House hearings are intended to divert att tention from lack of Congressional action to combat imitation. and are CD slandering people. and t2) turn ing up no information not already known to the EBI.
 Mr. Truman loosed his attack on the Congressional hearings at a news conference. His remarks were in response to questions.
 When a reporter asked whether he did not think the American public is entitled to the informa- ton Eeing produced by the hear ms, he said there was nothing new and that lot of people have been slandered.
 At the Capitol, the Consressionr al investigators were ta1kifig of widening their inquiry.
 May subpoena Wallace
 Rep. Rankin {D-Miss) proposed that the House Un-American Ac- tivities Committee call in Henry Wallace for questioning. He said it appeared that Communists got into key positions" in the Com merce Department while Wallace headed it. Acting Chairman Muhdt tR-SD) said the question of subpoenaeing Wallace would be considered at closed committee session.
 Rep. McDowell R-Pa) told the committee that there was much more to, the Communist story than has been brought out.
 'As chairman of a special sub- committee of this committee" he said, T can reveal that at the very height of atomic research in 1943 two shipments of uranium compound were made to Russia af- ter tremendous pressure on all phases of our government from known Russian agents and others who had worked themselves into positions of importance"
 One shipment was of 300 pounds, and the other 1000 pounds. Mo-
