fairbanks Struck by Gale;
 16 Parked Planes Wrecked

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 29-- R-A 50 to IS mile an hour gale struck Fairbanks yesterday wreck ing l6 parked planes at the Muni- cipal Airport, toppling telephone and power poles, uprooting trees and do- ing minor damage to buildings.

 High velocity winds in the Fair banks area are extremely rare.
 Weeks Field was left strewn with wreckage after gusts had sent light aircraft tumbling end over end, ov- erturning them and snapping their wings
 Two larger planes, GAG owned by the Wien Airlines and a C-57 op- erated by the Lavery Airways, were Ladly damaged but officials of the lines said they probably could be repaired.
 The Lavery twin-engine transport was hit by a small plane careening across the field. The Lowry hanger also was partially unroofed.

 Tomorrow; Particulars Given;
 Polls Open 9 A. M. 10 p. M.

The cost of maintaining the school plant and it's equipment in repair and the cost of new equipment. rests one hundred percent upon the district,
 Property Appraisal
 Having determined the amount necessary to support the schools the Board will appraise all property outside of the Juneau City limits on the came basis as is used to ap- praise property within the city. Having determined the valuation oi all of the property, and know ing the value of property with in the city it shall set a rate of taxation which will be equal both inside and outside the city linn it's for the support of the schools.

 WASHINGTON Memo to Sen- ator Taft:
 While you and are in frequent disagreement, I have considerable admiration for your courage and tenacity. May I therefore present for your consideration a problem of vital importance to all of us.
 As you know, the Administration is now planning to embark on a gigantic arms program, including thousands of jet planes, new rocket-launching guns, submarines that can carry rockets close to en- emy shores. new airplane carriers which can launch bombers, fast merchant ships powerful enough to out1ln submarines, and thous- ands of steel-consuming guided missiles.
 Tn addition the National Defense Department urges lend-lease pro- gram whereby we would equip the armies of democratic nations in Europe.
 While this program may not all be adopted, yet if only half of it. including the aviation program which you yourself favor-is adopt ed, it will result in the greatest imitation this nation has ever seen. Already we face steel short age. Already our railroads are hard up for freight cars. Automobiles are still short in supply. The man. power shortage still handicaps many industries. Electric power is so low in the West that Cali fornia is on daylight saving. Last

 OUTPOST IS ON BETH PAR ALLEL, KOREA, March 29.-lR- Soviet soldiers and North Korean villagers are digging trenches, fox holes and gun supplements along the 38th parallel dividing the So- viet and American occupation zones of Korea.
 Americans don't know why. They assume the Soviets ordered the World War 3 type of defensive line to justify Russian statements to North Koreans reported by travellers from the north--that Americans and South Koreans plan to attack. North Korea.
 The digging was first observed by American patrols early this month. They presumed the first few undertakings were irrigation ditches. The activity stepped up sharply about March g; the nature of the work became clear. One and two-man foxholes appeared.
 The ditches became trenches six feet deep. Sometimes they were connected by small communication trenches 21s feet deep. Holes 10 feet in diameter were dug and giv- en turrent tops with openings for guns pointed south. No weapons were observed but at least one em- placement contains bipod mount as large as that for an American 81 millimeter mortar

kaiser-Frazer Starts
.'49 Output This Week
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Aug. 21.-Kaiser- Fra
zer Corp. swings into 1949 model car
production next week. The new
cars, embracing numerous mechani-
cal and styling changes, will be
shown publicly early next month.
Thus, K-F will become the Sec
ond of the volume car builders to
turn to 1949 model output. The
first was Ford, which changed its
Lincoln, Mercury and Ford models
in May and June. Third probably
will be Nash, scheduled to reopen its
assembly plants on September 7
after a five week shutdown for re-
tooling.
First of the K-F cars to be changed
will be the Kaiser models. These
are the lower priced of the two
K-F lines.
Design changes in the new models
are not being disclosed in advance
Iof the formal showings. A K-F
spokesman said today, however, that
the general lines of present models
are being retained.
Unlike most other auto makers,
K-F is undertaking to put the new
models into production without COM
pletely suspending assemblies. It
expects some output curtailment as
the new units are put on the lines,
but no shutdown.

TROLLERS MEETING
 ACCOMPLISHES MUCH
 3rd SESSION AGREES

JUNEAU - The third annual conference of the United Trollers of Alaska was held here beginning November 20 and ending Novem- ber 24.
 The many problems confronting the organization were discussed. The conference reported a success ful years operation and outlined the accomplishments of the organ ization and the benefits secured for the trollers of Alaska.
 Some of the accomplishments and benefits were: Elimination of bracket prices on gasoline and mo- tor fuels; the calling of the at tention of municipalities of the Territory to the availability of funds for harbor improvements in many communities; securing of aids to navigation; Coast Guard facilities and medical facilities, es- pecially in outlying districts.
 The securing for the first time contract stating a minimum be- low which the price of fish could not go; a contract recognizing this organization as the sole bargaining agent for all trollers in Alaska. Due to this fact delegates were able to take advantage of every break to secure higher prices for all trollers in Alaska.
 The carrying on of a campaign against fish traps which the UTA would not have thought possible, and the playing of a major part in electing to [ h legislature men and women who are favorable to progressive legislation were other features.
 It was pointed out that these ac- complishments and benefits were possible solely due to the fact that the UTA was organized. It was further pointed out that the finan- cial gain to each individual troller affset the cost many times over, and every troller in Alaska was urged to consider these facts.
 John 0lofson, Treas urer for the past ten months re- signed and Andy Barlow, of Wran- gell was appointed to fill the va- caney.

DRIVE
 OVER THE TOP
 IN ONE MONTHS TIME

4ae drive. which began just one month ago today to bring Wran- gell's Bishop Rowe General hos pital out of the red, to the tune of $3,992.97. was declared ended to- day, by the Rev. H. Hall. Secre- tary-Treasurer of the hospital Board of Control. with a surplus of $255.36. However, anyone who has not had opportunity to con- tribute toward the hospital. and wishing to do so, can give their contribution to Father Hall.
 Father Hall expressed his deep gratitude to people of Wrangell and to the many outside of the town, who contributed so gener- ously.
 Although the present indebted ness has been raised and there is a small surplus" Father Hall said, still, the hospital board and cit izens of Wrangell must see that we do not run into the same disgrace full situation three years from now. Plans must be formulated and act ed upon which will make it pos sible for the hospital to meet its deficit yearly.
 The Boards Secretary-Treasurer then went on to explain that a month ago. when the drive was in augurated, the Board expressed the hope that it would be the last such drive of its kind. He said the Board was now working on a plan to that end and would submit 1t to the citizens of Wrangell in a short time.
 "The success of any plan, and the solution of the hospital prob lem, will demand the same olcse CO., operation and generosity by in- dividuals, organizations and busi- ness houses as we have just had in the drive,' the Rev. Hall said. This phase will be the most im- portant part of the whole battle, and unless it is won, the drive, in the long run will be wasted ef- fort and we soon will be in the same position we were on Nov. 1, 194S."
 The Rev. Hall added that the story of the past drive was thrilling one. That the hospital IS a real community affair, he point ed out. was amply shown by the willing support of everyone and every organization within and outside of Wrangell.
 "The full story of cooperation will never be known" Father Hall said For example last Saturday Charlie Sadler gave flowers at cost and his time free in making m corsages for patrons of the Elks dance, which were sold by tha Emblem Cluh and proceeds turned over to the drive. There are too many such generous gestures on record to enumerate them.
 ''It is almost unbelievable that such a large sum was raised in. such a short time. The Hospital Board is most sincerely thankful to each and every one of you for your aid and is looking forward to the citizens of Wrangell for con tinued cooperation and support in maintaining OUR hospital"
