ALEC HEDDAN HERE FOR SKI TOURNEY;
 MORE SETUp GIVEN

A definite threat for the coveted Moller Ski Cup Race to be run Sunday arrived in Juneau yester- day Alec Heddan of the White horse Ski Club came by plane from the Yukon Territory, and is the first Canadian entry in the South east Alaska Ski Tournament since two tulseuah racers swept the races in 1940.
 Heedan was enthusiastic in his praise of Juneau ski terrain, and left this morning for the Doug las Ski Trail accompanied by Ski Club prexy Jim Church to inspect the downhul run. He stated that mere skiers will arrive from White horse for the tournament, and ventured an opinion that the ex- change of skiers between White horse and Juneau will become an annual event. Next week will see q large number of Juneau skiers fly to Whitehorse to compete in the Whitehorse Winter Sports Carnival.
 Heddan began his skiing with the Bantf Ski Club, at the famous Canadian winter sports resort, and has skied with the Whitehorse Ski Club for six years. In l946 he placed first in downhill at the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous All- Alaska Ski Tournament which marks him as a strong competitor.

Flares Over j. ). Ship
Stir Erroneous Report
OF Firing by Russians
BY The Asseeiossd Press

TOKYO, sept. 1s.-Flares dropped
over the Liberty ship Moses Brown
by two unidentified planes resulted
today in an erroneous report that
the Russian chartered vessel had
been fired on.
Capt. Kenneth D. Frye, skipper OF
the 7-176-ton freighter, radioed the
ships operators, the Shepard Lines,
that the flares were dropped Satllr-
day night in the Sea of Japan, Of
Russia's Siberian coast.
Owned by Maritime Commission.
Because the Moses Brown Is owned
by the United States Maritime Com
mission, copies Of the message were
relayed from San Francisco to the
commission and to the company's
New York ofiices.
(In washington, the Maritime
Commission said it received the
report from the Shepard Lines
Boston office and that it mem
toned "an explosion 100 feet
above the vessel" but that 1t
wasn't clear whether 1t was q
star shell or parachute are.
(Anyhow, the commission re-
layed the report to the State De-
partment, which said 1t had q re-
port the Moses Brown was fired
on, but that the department had
no details.)
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, the Shepard
Lines agent-Myles S. Waterman
Iof C. F. Sharp Co.-messaged the
Moses Brown at the request of the
operators to locate the incident
more specifically than "off the
Siberian coast" That was Wednes-
day night.
Denies Ship Was Fired On.
Capt. Frye, still proceeding
smoothly from the port Of Toro on
Sakhalin Island to q port in
Russian-occupied North Korea with
a cargo Of coal, replied that the
incident occurred about 30 miles
east of the Siberian port Of
Tetyukhe-but that the ship was
not fired on.
A spokesman for the Far East
Air Force said emphatically that no
American planes had dropped flares
over the ship. Which would in
dicate they were dropped by Rus
sian planes.
In San Francisco, the Shepard
Lines West Coast manager, r. c.
MINIS, boiled the whole thing down
to a routine report" He said the
Moses Brown was in an area where
Illuminating ship for purposes of
Identification happens often.
The freighter was following the
normal route for shipping between
Russian areas in North Korea and
Sakhalin.

BY the kssoeio.sd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock
market had a droopy look today
after three e-day advance.
Losses predominated but few ex-
ceeded fractions. A good handful
of stocks managed to hold un-

Business was comparatively slow
and traders evidently were in nc
mood to force the pace one way OF
another.
Another flood of increased. extra

stolidly by, the financial district
Generally speaking, Wall Street
adopted wait-and-see attitude.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO. Nov, II, P.-..The grain
showing any real weakness. CONSIDERING
the sharp advance over the past two
weeks. the increase In selling pressure
was not unexpected. Dealings were fairly
active.
Although the longshoremen's strike
continued along much of the Atlantic
Coast, its effect on price trends was nil.
Grains are now selling hisher than when
the strike started. The market had a
couple Of bad days when the first wildcat
walkout began. but since then has ac-
cepted the situation calmly.
Wheat near the end OF the first hour
was u cent lower to u higher; December,
2.36ss; .corn was y lower to !. higher;
December, ! 49,: oats were unclaimed to
u lower; December, S3ss: soybeans were
q cent lower to Ia nieher: November,
1854.
The bie question in wheat now. ANALYSTS
said. was whether the advance in prices
would loosen some cash grain from the
Government loan. Both cash and nearby
futures prices have advanced above the
loan level. and NAV be al point to cause
producers to redeem their wheat from the
Government and then sell 1t.
Any selling of cash grain. traders said,
probably would cause more pressure on
the futures market. Cash houses buyirz
the cash wheat could be expected to
hedge this operation by selling futures,
it was stated. Present prices may be
high enough to take care of interest and
