FIRST BOAT BUILT
 AT PELICAN CITY IS OFF WAYS, DUE HERE

A bottle of champagne was brought all the way from Seattle to be used when the first boat to be built in Pelican was launch- ed there December 30. ..
 The 57-foot halibut fishing yes sel. built by the owner, L. o. Ja- cobsen, slid off the ways before a large gathering after being christened the Glacier Bay by the owners wife, Martha Jacobsen.
 The Glacier Bay, first vessel to be built and launched in Pelican, is expected to be in Juneau shortly where crew members will be added before the craft continues to Se- attle for added outfitting for the approaching halibut season.
 To be skipper of the vessel is Sivert Anderson, who has sailed for many years in Alaskan waters. It was Anderson who brought the champagne from Seattle for the launching occasion.
 Mrs. Jacobsen was presented with a large bouquet of flowers from the Pelican Cold Storage Company for the christening ceremony.
 owner Jacobsen built the boat with local assistance. G. L. Edge comb did much of the interior fin- ishing.
 Alter the construction of a spec ially built boat house, the keel of the craft was laid early in 1947, but due to weather conditions and the maritime strike, work was de- layed for a considerable length of time. The Glacier Bay is con- structed on the Monk plan with the exception of the plan for the stern, which was designed by the owner. The boat is 57 feet overall with a 15-2 beam and is powered by l65 hp GMC diesel.
 To be aboard the craft when 1t puts in at Juneau will be the Jacobsens, Skipper Anderson and Bjorn Thorkildsen.

a few garrison officers who tricked their troops into surrendering the local arsenals.
 Within 48 hours, the conflict had assumed proportions of a full-scale civil war. And by then, the Boliv- ian government in La Paz had positive information that the weap- ons the rebels were using were about 80 per cent of Argentine manufacture.
 Gabriel Gozalves, Bolivia's am- bassador to Buenos Aires, received instructions to visit Argentine For eign Minister Hipolito Paz, on the afternoon of August 29. The en- voy immediately solicited an aud fence, but didn't get it until 5 p. m. the following day.
 Paz then assured Gozalves that the Peron regime had mo partial ity with respect to the events in Your Excellency's country and had not supplied arms to anyone there.
 Nevertheless, a machine-gun nest overrun by Bolivian government troops the next day was equipped with brand-new Argentine weapons, and the captured rebel commander admitted that they had been brought up by caravan from across the border" just the night before.

OTHER AMERICAN AID

The government of Venezuela, birthplace of Simon Bolivar and of Ecuador's great national hero, An- tonio de Sucre, gave an outright gift of S1,000,000. Popular contri- buttons in that country now total more than $10O,000 and are still continuing. Venezuela's emergency aid, in the form of medical sup plies and personnel, was outstand- ing.
 Colombia has donated S250,000; Fl Salvador, $20,000; Honduras and Puerto Rico, $1O,000 each Proposals to give or lend varying amounts are currently before the legislatures of seven other countries
 Mexico has recommended to the organization of American States a joint, interest-free loan to Ecuador, and has offered to put up 10 per cent of whatever amount is sub scribed. In Chile, the government designed Sept 12-19 "Aidto-Ecua- Tdor" week and agreed to match all private donations received during that period
 So it goes, up and down the hemisphere, with the assistance giv- en or offered being in every case tremendous, in relation to national wealth and income.
 Yet all this is still only drop in the bucket toward helping inn poverished Ecuador to repair the frightful havoc wrought by the worst disaster the Occidental world has known in this century Total reconstruction costs, including ma chinery and materials which must be imported. are now estimated at SS5, 100000.
 The government of President Galo Plaza has no intention oi seeking that sum, or even any sig able percentage of it, in foreign loans. What the country need, now, for essential purchases in th' U. S., is about S15O,0O000O in ; long-term, low-interest advance from the United States.

EXTENDING VEHICLE INSPECTION

It certainly is surprising what the vehicle safety checkup revealed and good judgment is shown in the announcement made that the inspection will be extended to October l.
 The checkup is being made by the Alaska Highway Patrol and the Juneau Police Department and is for the sole purpose of safety in auto traffic
 From day to day The Empire has and will print the results of the daily Inspections and mentioned it surprising what the checkup shows. No drivers licenses faulty brakes stop lights and also missing head and tail lights the daily report
 Incidentally revised regulations of Alaska Traffic Laws have just been issued in book form, approved by the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners and every driver should possess The traffic laws are made to conserve life property, gas and rubber
 Get the traffic laws and one will be surprised at the regulations made for the single purpose or safety.

The Military Mind Again
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The military mind is indeed inscrutabe. Defense plans for Western Europe-if they yet plans call for France provide the land army for the con- tnent. This nation may have to recommend it some thing which civilian unversed in the arts of war cannot comprehend readily if at al
 It would seem logical from a strategic standpoint in East-West to set up land defenses closer to the enemy In such war, Russia would be one of the enemies, probably the principal one. Ii she should decide thrust westward she undoubtedly would in the of the outbreak of war; she would have nothing much to stop her in an unarmed Germany. A quick conquest of that country with its mighty industrial and the millions of Ger mans which she could mobilize fight for her. would give her great advantage Frances land armies and other Western military installments based else where At least that to be the picture as seen from a common -sense nonprofessonal viewpoint
 Certainly, the military men who conceived this defense plan must have considered others before dis cardng them It is difficult to see why they wrote oil Germany as main defense region unless for political reasons These are which should be secondary in the formation of a grand design like that of the defense of the West

ARGENTINA DENIES ALL

Acting on renewed instructions from home, the Bolivian ambassa- dor in the Argentine capital again called on Peron's foreign minister, at ' o'clock the night of August 31. Once mere, that functionary insisted that the charges were wholly unfounded.'
 Twenty minutes after leaving Paz' office, Gozalves received an anonymous telephone tip that 40- odd Bolivian eXiles, mostly former army officers, had left Buenos Aires that afternoon for Jujuy province, on the Bolivian border, in two planes of the Argentine gov- ernment-owned State Airlines.
 This was confirmed early the next morning when the rebel-op- erated radio station in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, announced that Capt. Car melo Cuellar had taken command of troops there.
 Cuellar had been living in Bue- nos Aires province since June, l946, when Bolivian dictator Gualberto Villarroels was overthrown by a popular revolution and hanged from lamppost in the Central Square of La PaZ.
 Gozalves visited the foreign min istry twice more during the fore noon of September l. The first , time he was given the same pious run as on previous calls; l the second, he found an abruptly l changed atmosphere.
 Foreign Minister Paz on thi occasion informed the Bolivian en voy that Peron had summoned | special cabinet session to discus 1 measures of the ensuring of ab solute Argentine neutrality on al counts.
 There followed a high-soundinl
 announcement of strict neutralit
 which meant absolutely nothing since the Bolivian exiles had al
 ready crossed the border from Ar
 gentina-undoubtedly with the al
 of Argentina.
 By that time, the rebels were i

 REVOLT

The latest attempt to overthrow the government of Bolivia the fourth in six months, and by far the most serious-has some inter esting international undertones that don't get into the day-by-day press dispatches.
 This new revolt effort, the only recent one with careful organiza- tion and serious armed support, broke out on August 27, centering in the southern third of the land . locked Andean republic.
 Three major southern cities - Sucre, Cochabamba and Potosi - were seized simultaneously by groups of well-armed civilians and
