Chamber Hears
 Colony Day Plans

The April 2Oth Chamber of Commerce meeting, which was attended by only a few members of the group, was devoted mainly to listening to the Colony Day report of Chairman L. c. Stock.
 MT. Stock outlined the pro cedure which had been set up by himself, Russell Felzien and Bob Johns, in two meetings. He told of plans pending for the day and asked for suggestions from the membership for added attrac- tions and events.
 Of particular interest to the Chamber members was his re- port with regard to the barbe- cue. MT. Stock said mmebers of the Fish and Wild Life Service had been contacted, and ques- toned concerning the possibility of barbecuing moose. He was told a moose barbecue is possi- ble, as long as the meat is not sold.
 The Wild Life agents promised that if any illegal moose is brought in, the Colony Day com mittee would be permitted to use it. It was further suggested that buffalo from Big Delta, which often commit suicide by charging Army trucks, might make an acceptable barbecue substitute.
 MT. Stock also told of plans for seeking Army cooperation for the display of helicopter and jet plane in the square. He said it might be possible to mount the jet on a truck and haul it to Palmer. The helicopter could be flown here.
 Other Colony Day plans in clude the usual games and soft ball program, dances, Valley tours by bus and taxi, plane hops over the Valley and various ac- tivities to be conducted at booths of the concessionaires during the weekend event. The Palmer

Mass, Mar. 25.-An Air Force
C-s2 plane carrying q crew Of
three or four was reported down
today somewhere in the Arctic
wastes near Baffin Sound. about
1000 miles northwest of Goose
Bay, Labrador.
Air Force officers said the cir

descent were not known-only
that the planes fuel must have
run out and that 1t was no longer
in the air. 1t was possible the
plane made a conventional or
crash landing, they added.
They estimated the position as
near Resolute Bay. presumably an
inlet near Resolution Island. of
the southern end Of Baffin Island.
This would coincide with the esti-
mated distance from Goose Bay.
or within about 800 miles Of the
Arctic Circle.

tween the party and other groups
after the war but his program was
rejected. He was ousted from the
party. and a policy of violent class
warfare won out. the witness said.

'Browderism" caused sharp de-
bate on the staff of the Daily
Worker. communist newspaper,
which the witness edited.
The papers former foreign
editor, James Allen, insisted the
United States was "a, hopelessly
capitalistic state" and that cap
ttalism could be overthrown "only
by the use Of the Red Army" the
witness said.
