 The Court ordered that a hear ing be held on the petition in the court at Juneau at 10 a m., Sep tember 2s.
 At the time all persons interest ed may appear to show cause why an order should not be entered and an order made for sale.
 Under-financing was given by Col. Ohlson as the cause of the fail ure Of F. Y. Wagner, owner of the mill.
 Because of financial enungle- ments, due in part to the fact that Army Engineers oyer-stocked with green lumber, were unable to buy from The Alaska Asiatic il has been impossible for the receiver to effect a sale or receivershjp opera tiOn Col. Ohlson said in discuss ing the proposed sale
 While much of Waguer's opera tion had been based on Army con tracts, his company had failed be- fore the contracts were completed.
 Sale Of the company in this manner seems to be the only prac- Lical solution" Col. Ohlson said, because the Court can, if the pur- chase is made through this process, give the purchaser a clear title to the property"
 The Alaska Asiatic Lumber Mills has been closed since May :, 1947.
 Because of it's importance in the economy Of Wrangell and South east Alaska generally, Col. Ohlson, as receiver, and all concerned with the operation are anxious to get the mill into operation again.

Large Corporation
Won't Testify Before
Flanders on Profits

|. One large corporation has refused
an invitation to testify during two
weeks Of hearings on corporate
profits due to start Monday before
a joint Congressional sub-commit-
tee.
Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont, subcommittee chairman, did
not identify the firm, as he made
known further details of the hear
ings which will delve into such
questions as:
What part Of present profits
should go to shareholders, be held
IN reserve against possible recess
sion, be taken by the Government in
new taxes, be applied to a fourth
round Of wage increases, or used to
lower prices?
Lawyers Blamed.
Senator Flanders blamed the re-
jected invitation on corporation
lawyers, declaring:
Lawyers are timid souls-the most
rabbit-like Of all the human race.
This company is under antitrust in
dictment and its lawyers advise that
they should not say word abroad,
at home, in their closets, or even
among themselves. The better paid
the lawyers, the more timid they
are"
Senator Flanders said the COM
pany Is one which could properly
display its books and figures and
analyZe profits IN public"
Senator Flanders said representa-
tives of General Motors and Gen.
eral Electric Corps. have accepted
requests to testify but that he has
not heard from major steel COM
panies.
Wage Raises q Factor.
Testimony of the labor leaders
probably will bring up the subject
Of a fourth round wage increase"
in the postwar period, Senator
Flanders said. Adding:
I'VE should consider the desira-
bility, possibility and extent of wage
increas4s."
The information gathered in these
hearings will be merely advisory to
the regular standing committees OF
the House and Senate. The Flan-
ders group is a subcommittee of the
Joint Economic Committee, created
to study the overall condition of the
domestic economy. Any legislation
suggested by the hearings would
have to be drafted by the regular
committees
Others who will assist Chairman
Flanders at the hearings are Sena-
tors Watkins. Republican, of Utah,
and OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyo-
ming. and Representatives Wolcott,
of Michigan; Herter, of Massachu-
sets, Republicans, and Patman,

Europedn Title
By the Associoted Press

BRUSSELS, July 10.-Marcel Ger
dan regained his European middle
weight championship tonight by de-
feating Cyrille Delannoit of Belgium
on points In gruelling l5-round
fight before $4,000 fans at the Palais
Des Sports.
1t was a close but unanimous de-
cision and the crowd booed the
three officials.
The Associated Press score card
gave six rounds to each man and
called the other three even.
Delannoit won the title from Ger
dan in a surprise victory last May
% and he gave the veteran French
man a terrific tussle tonight.
Whereas the 22-year-old Belgium
won his supposed hometown" de-
cision in the first fight solely on the
referees say SO, two judges and a
Spanish referee named Senor Cas-
anora gave Marcel the nod this time.
The hard-won victory kept Cerdan
in line for title fight against Tony
Zale sometime this sumer, but 1t
scarcely added to his stature. Del
annoit proved himself very rugged
and capable youngster indeed.
Cerdan scored the only two knock
downs. In the third round he drop
ped Delanoit with sharp right to
the chops, but the Belgium bounced
up without taking a count. A swing
ing left put the kid down again in
the fourth, but once more he came
up swinging before Casanova could
start count
All the way it was rousing scrap
which kept the crowd in the over
flowing hall on its feet much OF the
time.
