Solicit Funds For Alaska
 Boy Scouts

IVY VVVWsO
 A group of volunteer solici- tors are contracting Seward resi- dents this week and next for contributions to the annua Boy Scout finance campaign. Seward Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are part of the Alaska Council, which now members nearly 1000 boys and men, ac- cording to Maurice F. Powers, Alaska Scout executive, who was here this week. Member ship and interest in scouting for boys is at the highest peak since organization of the Alaska Council jour years ago, Powers said.
 Boy Scouting in, Alaska is maintained through the contrl- buttons of those who believe in it's program and methods by in all towns in the Territory. Funds raised in Seward help to make it possible for the Alas ka Council to maintain a field office at Anchorage and to pay part ot the salary ot Eugene Butler, whose tull-time respon- , slblllty Is the Boy scout pro- gram at Seward, Anchorage, Homer, Cordova, and Kodiak. Other field men are stationed at Fairbanks, Juneau and ket- ] chlkan, the scout executive re- , ports. These men work with ! volunteer cub masters and
 scout masters and local com
 mlttees, helping them in the
 operation ot the cub packs and
 scout troops. Seward boys re- cords of membership and ad-
 vancement are kept in the Coun- cil office in Juneau from where periodic aids toeleaders also are
 issued. "Practically every com , munity in Alaska has conducted a campaign to support Scout ing, and Seward needs to do it's part so we can continue to pro- vide this program opportunity tor Seward boys," Powers sad
 as he urged local residents to back the money raising cam paign. Anyone not contacted by one of the workers can leave hIS contribution at the bank We are hopeful that by this i time next year Seward will have had evidence of a highly successful program. We should have two Scout troops instead of just one, and it is possible that Sea Scout Ship could
 be organized for high school fellows" Powers said. Homer has a good troop and Kenai
 is interested in starting one. Some competition and inter- community activity with these other towns in Scouting could also be carried out," he said. Among local men working on the campaign are Park Smith, Cliff Whipple, Bob Null Ter, George Green, Harry Smith, and Gene Lanier.
 Stewards Boy Scout Troop 63O is sponsored by the Seward Memorial Church with Ralph Hatch being it's new scout mas ter. About 20 boys attend it's meetings each Thursday night. All boys between the ages of II and IT are eligible to belong.
 The cub pack for boys 8, g, and 10 has just recently been reorganized. It is known as Pack 327 and is sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association. Dan Rose is cub master who reports plenty of interest among the younger group of boys.

'0ne-Year Securities
Offered by Treasury
Al Reduced Interest
BY the Associated Press

The Treasury today made its
first offering of one-year Govern
ment securities at the recently
announced cut-rate of interest,
/ 70 per cent.
Since last October the Govern
ment has paid IA per cent on
money borrowed for one year.
The new issue of $1,292,443, 500
in debt certificates will not be
sold for cash. The certificates
will be available on an exchange
basis to present holders of 2 per
cent Treasury bonds dated May
Is, 1912, which are called for re-
demption on September Is.
Secretary Snyder said the books
will close on the receiving of
subscriptions at the end of busi-
ness Saturday. September 3.
The lowered interest rate on
Government securities is expected
to cause some reduction in rates
in private lending. This may have
some business stimulating effect,
since it will lower the cost of
borrowing money.
The more immediate result will
be to lower the interest costs on
the $255 ,000,00 900 national debt.
The Treasury announced last
week that another Offering shortly
will be made at the lower rate.
This will refund about $685.

''What's Unusual About Weather In Seattle?''

SEATTLE, (P) - While Seattle residents shivered in the coldest weather of the season, former Alaska newSman set them straight yesterday on some of the cold facts of life.
 Even his 4-year-old daughter added a pointed thrust at what the local citizenry regards seriously as hard early touch of winter.
 George N. Meyers, formerly of the Fairbanks News Miner, who drew the assignment to write the days weather story for the Seat tie Times, couldn't take it serious ly.
 What is there to say about the weather, except that the temper ature was a tepid IT degrees at the coldeSt spot (the Seattle-Tac ma airport and that there was a patch of snow here and there?" asked the ex-Alaskan, "and that what the Almanac refers to aca- demically as inter starts today with the shortest day of the year?"

Try To Dynamite .CIO Auto Workers Headquarters

DETROIT. (P) - Dynamiters made an attempt to blow up the CIO United Auto Workers head quarters last night.
 They failed, but only by hairs breadth.
 A stack of 39 sticks of dynamite, wrapped in tape and colored Christmas gift paper, was found at a side stairway of the union building.
 Two fuses had burned to within an inch or less of the explosives before they sputtered out, harm lessly.
 Except for two night workers, the union building was empty. However, lives were imperiled in a neighboring General Motors building.
 As a result, authorities were confronted today with a new task in solving mysterious acts of vio- lence against the big auto union and its leadership.
 Within less than two years Would-be assassins have tried to kill two of the JAWS prominent Reuther brothers.
 Walter Reuter-, president of the JAW, was shot by an unknown assailant in April of 1948. He al- most lost the use of an arm.
 Victor Reuther, the unions ed ucational directro. lost an eye in a similar shotgun attack last May.
 Both of the shootings still are unsolved.

Santa's Voice COnvinces Boy

MEDFORD, Mass, lP) - The voice of Santa Claus boomed from a rooftop. "What do you mean Pm not real?"
 A little tyke in the crowd gag ing up at the spotlighted Santa winced. He had been telling his little friends "He ain't real all he does is stand there"
 The voice called out again:
 "Johnny Williams, why do you tell your little friends such things. Of course Santa is real and he'll come to visit good boys"
 That was the clincher. Johnny Williams now is a firm believer.
 The voice was that of Alderman George F. Callahan thrown from his living room through loud speaker rigged to Santa.

U. $. Bans Travel To Hungary

WASHINGTON, (P)-The state department has banned travel by A m ricanS to Communist-run Hungary and is reported consider ing further actions. These include the possibility of closing Hungar- ian consulates in New York and Cleveland.
 The travel embargo was an- nounced late yesterday in a sting ing note of protest against the treatment of Americans in Hun gary. The state department made no estimate of how. much effect this order might have on Hun gary.
 II reinforced a demand for the prompt release of Robert A. Voge- Ter, an American Communications official who has been held incom- municado by the Hungarians for more than a month. Officials said the note applied equally to the re- ported arrest last week in Buda- pest of Israel Jacobson, head of the Hungarian office of the American Joint Distribution committee.
 The note charge Hungary with violating a 1926 commercial treaty by refusing U. s. consuls the right even to talk with Vogeler and added that this government is "giving urgent consideration to such further measures as may be appropriate" unless the issue is settled promptly and satisfactor- fly.
