 The Helmericks. who have called Alaska home for the past eight years landed here yesterday in their spanking new Cessna ITO enroute to their home in the vastness north of the Arctic Circle.
 For the writing and lecturin2 Helmericks, neighborhood squab- bling is unheard of Nearest neigh bors are 100 miles distance by air from their cabin on Lake Takahula in the Endicott Mountains. By canoe. a trek to the neighbors to torrow a cup of sugar would take five weeks.
 At present, they are returning from three weeks in the states. Their latest arctic trip took them into coastal Eskimo villages this srring where Connie shot her first polar bear On their return to their home in their ski plane, they discovered the lake ice had gone out. To succeed in gettine into their home for the summer they found it necessary to go 10 the States to pick up float plane
 "Our Alaska Winter" is the Helmericks' latest book published by Little, Brown & Co to be on the book stands within few weeks Their popular We Live in the Arctic was condensed for publi- cation in Readers Digest

THAT WOMAN FLYER
 ROW IN MONTREAL ON WORLD FLIGHT
(By Associated Press)

Mrs. Richarda Morrow-T -Tait says that she is enjoying her round-the- world fight, tut she adds a reser- vation that you have to be really crazy to undertake such a trip in single-engine plane.
 The 25-year-old, attractive Eng lishwoman spent the weekend ir Montreal on the last lap of flight which started II months ago in Cambridge, England. She sad: q always wanted to fly around the Eorld. And if I don't get killed be- tween here and home, I'll have icne it."
 Mrs Mcrrow-Tait obtained her single engine, low-wing Vultee plane in Seattle, through funds raised by the public. Her originai plane was wrecked in Alaska, and in addition to the wreck she has been held up by difficulties rang ing from engine trouble to lack ot money for operating expenses. When she set out from her home on August 18, last year, she ex- pected to be gone only seven CT eight weeks, but that stretched to eleven months, and now shes on he last lap of her glope-girdling flight.

WASHINGTON, July 12--lR- Seven Republican leaders discussed for more than three hours today the move to oust Rep. Hugh D Scott. Jr., as Chairman of the Re- publican National Committee.
 They reached no decision but arranged to meet again later in the day.
 R. B. Creager, Texas National Committeeman who acted as spokesman, said the chairmanship was the primary question discussed.
 He emphasized, however, that the discussion was "in full recognition of the fact that Scott is still chair man
 Any discussion or a new chair man." he added, was only in a desultory way in event in the fu- ture there is a vacancy"
 Friends, however, were reported joining critics in an attempt to convince Scott that he should ster out.

WARTIME RUMOR \ ABOUT JAPANESE
 MAPS IS DEFLATED

SEATTLE, July 12. -tR- The wartime rumors that the Jepanese had better maps of the Aleutians han our own were deflated offi- cially today. ga
 I'm glad to be able to explode that ridiculous report said Rear Admiral L. O. Colbert, director of the United States Coast and Geo. detic Survey. q have heard tAe story a number of times"
 The story about the supposedly superior Japanese charts was popu- lar scuttlebutt among servicemen stationed in the Aleutians during the second world war
 Tn all the Japanese equipment taken during or after the war, no enc ever found a map or chart Of Alaska or the Aleutian Islands, Admiral Colbert said during brief stop here after an inspection tour in the Territory.
 ''The Japanese did much fishing but no charting in Alaskan waters If they had made maps, they would not have moved into Kiska, one of the poorest excuses for naval base they could find.'
 Admiral Colbert said heliccpters were used for the first time 1T coast and geodetic survey work ir Alaska this year, and are proving highly valuable" in tundra terrain where it is impossible to walk.

SUNDB0RG TELLS
 OF pR0JE(T5 FOR
 ALASKA IN FUTURE


 of it in Washington, DC, in the interests of Alaska, George Sund- org. consultant to the Alaska De- gelopment Board. has returned, op- timlstic about the future Of the Territory.
 He plans to go to Pittsburgh, Pa in the fall, after experts have had time to analyse the findings ot ] survey party now doing research work in the area of the proposed S3o0000,O00 power and aluminium Jroject by the Aluminium Company oi America.
 There, he will confer with l. w Wilson, senior Vice President ol Alcoa, and James P. Growdon Alcoas chief hydro-electric engi- leer
 Sundbcrg talked to GroWdon ir Juneau yesterday. The engineer was on his way lack to Pittsburgh afte4 pending several days with the field party which has been inves- igatng the geological structure o1 she area which would be traversec oy a tunnel from Lake Lindemar o the Taiya River Valley neal skagway.
 Growdon, who was here two years ago to make the original investiga- lions for the company, conferred yesterday with Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing, Sundborg and Mayor 0. A (Pat) Carroll of Skagway.
 Growdon said, "The party has made much more rapid progress han was anticipated. We are well atisfied with the results"
 Sundborg reports that there is no indication yet as to Alcoa's actual plans, that the company is oing slowly.
 Warren Mead, director Of geology Tt Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and head of the field party plans to come here from Skagway July 21. He has been working closely with both Canadian and Alaska officials.
 In New York City, Sundborg saw Lawrence Latchfield, Jr., who is in charge of mining operations foi Alcoa Mining Company. Litchfield emphasized the importance of the Alaska investigations in the ccm- pany's worldwide search for sources of power.
 An industry of different type may be revived in Alaska. The De- yelopment Board is making market studies and transportation cost studies for the Vermont Marble Company of Proctor, Vt, former 0perator of the marble quarry at rokeen. This is on Marile Island near Prince of Wales Island, west of Ketchikan.
 Mortimer R. Proctor, former gov- srnor of Vermont and Vice Presi- lent of the Marble Company, IS investigating the possibilities of re- orsning the quarry, also Of pro- ,essing the marble in Alaska. This utting and polishing was done i'll Tacoma when the plant operated before
 With federal building additions, said Sundborg, and the new Terri torial building planned, which prob- ably will use much marble, officials of the firm believe there will be enough demand to keep the quarry in constant operation"
 While East, Sundborg also met with representatives of all three pulp and paper company pros pects' for Alaska. All are stil actively interested, says Sundborg cut they are going slowly-watch- ing the market, the trend of con ,truction costs and similar mat sers. The Ketchikan people art
 waiting final results of the Wey- rhaeuser experiments with tn new magnesium process.

Second Engineer
is Urged For
Safety On DieseIs

Chicago (ILNS).-Union spokes-
men vigorously defended the de-
mand of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers for a second en-
gineer on Diesel electric locomo-
tives, at hearings held by an en-
ergency fact finding board appoint
ed by President Truman.
j. P. Shields, assistant grand
chief of the engineers, emphasized
that the brotherhood's demand was
based on safety factors. A second
engineer is needed in the rear of
the Diesel attending the machinery,
he insisted. The present crew con-
sists of an engineer and a fireman.
The emergency board denied a
petition of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men to intervene in the proceed
ings, but held out a chance that
the latter union might have some
voice in the matter.
The board ruled that it lacked
the authority to extend its juris-
diction to include the firemen and
enginemen, but it observed that ii
was empowered to determine who
had the right to testify and what
subjects might come up for consid-
Grafton. The fremen are interested
because they believe that the en-
gineers' demands affect jobs that
belong to the firemen.

to Congress to enact Legislation
favorable to industry and manage
ment-not only in labor relations
but also in the tax field.
Highhght of the weeks hearings
was the clash between Sen. Matt
hew M. Nicely Cd. w. Va.) and the
NLRB General Counsel Robert N
Denham. Neely had accused Den
ham of being biased in his attitude
toward organized labor and the
law, charge which Denham heat
edly denied.
Denham also got going over
from Republican Sen. w avn e
Morse (Ore.) on the power of his
office. The office of general counsel
to the Board was created by the
Taft Hartley act, and gave the
counsel sole authority to in
vestigate and prosecute cases, as
well as to seek temporary injunc-
tion while he is prosecuting an un-
fair labor practices case. CIO Cen
eral Counsel Arthur Goldberg has
described the result of this innova-
tion as "chaos."
Morse has often been critical of
this separation of power also and
last week he made Denham squirm.
Morse was polite enough to say
that he was objecting only to the
power given the counsel, and serv-
ed notice that he will fight contin-
uation of such an office when the
bill gets to the floor of the Senate.

High Court Ruling Leaves
Truck Stutus In Mid-Air

Washington (LPA) - l. b o I
unions-as we'll as other groups
who sometimes use sound trucks
during political campaigns or other
special occasions to broadcast
speeches will find their legal rights
hanging in mid-air as a result of
a Supreme Court decision last
week.
The court-by a widely split 5 to
A decision-ruled that sound trucks
which send out loud and raucous'
noises can be banned by city ordin-
ances. But the five majority judges
held widely differing opinions as
to whether or not the city ordin-
ances can ban all sound trucks in
general or just cloud" ones.
The decision was in test case
from Trenton, N. j., brought by
Charles Kovacs, a representative
of the Steelworkers Union. He
broadcast from a sound truck near
the Trenton City Hall during a
printers strike to test the city
ordinance. He was later fined $50
and thereupon appealed the case
to the Supreme Court on the
grounds that it violated freedom of
speech.
The confusion in the ruling was
caused by the fact that last year
the Court ruled apparently just the
opposite in the case of a sound
truck case from Lockport, N. Y.
In that instance minister of
Jehovah's Witnesses tested and
attacked the city ordinance which
prohibited the use of a sound truck
without a specific permit from the
chief of police. In that case the
Court overruled the ordinance, say
ing that such an ordinance placed
too much power on the chief of
police. The majority opinion in that
case said that the use of objection
able sound trucks should be pro-
hibited in a narrower law specify
ing which instances would be OBJ
jectionable.
Five different opinions on var
ious reasonings behind this weeks
decision were handed down by the
justices, explaining their thinking
on the case.
