NOW IT'S WRANGELL
 THAT'S DRY AS A IBONE;pUMpSo ON WAY

The 1,5C0 residents of Wrangell are wringing their hands with the remainder of Southeast Alaska s southern communication not a drop of water comes out.
 The long freeze which has dried up Ketchikan and Petersburg fin-
 ally caught up with the island town, and today there isn't pressure enough in the water mains to wash small dog.
 With no pressure whatever along Front Street, residents are consid- erably worried over the fire hazard presented and have contacted Lew M. Williams, Secretary. of Alaska, for aid.
 Williams, once a resident of the town, saw Coast Guard authorities
 and arranged for two 500 gallon-a- minute salt water pumps to be
 rushed to Wrangell from Juneau
 The Army owns the pumps, but released them TOT use, and now authorities are arranging to have the cutter Storis pick them up and deposit them on Wrangells dry Front Street.
 The nearest pump is at Ketchi- kan, but that town needs it for fire protection itself, so couldn't help matters.
 Ironic twist to the situation is
 that four years ago Wrangell's city council could have purchased the pump from the Coast Guard, but figured they couldn't afford it-so it was fought by the first city. At late hour, Williams got as- surance from the Alaska Steamship Company that the Denali, south bound out of Juneau Monday, woulc pick up the two-ton pumps and make a special stop in Wrangell to drop them off. The ship ordin- arily passes up the little port on
 its southbound voyage.

IN HISS
 TRIAL ASKS
 JUDGES AID

NEW YORK. Jan. 21-R-A Fed eral jury asked guidance from the judge today and then made a new effort to reach a verdict in the second trial of Alger Hiss.
 As the second day of deliberation wore on, there was no indication whether agreement was near.
 The jurors, eight women and four men, filed into the courtroom at 1O:44 am, (EST) and, at their request Federal Judge Henry w. Goddard re-read portions of the charge which he gave in submitting the case to them at 3.10 pm. yes- terday.
 He told them again that the Government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hiss lied when he denied passing State Depart ment secrets to ex-CommunlSt Whitaker Chambers for pre-war Soviet spy ring.
 Hiss held one of the State De- partment's most responsible posts at the time the secret papers al legedly were passed in l938. If convicted he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison plus $4,00O in fines.

|5ELD0vIA FIELD 10
 BE BUILT UNDER
 AER0NAUTIC5 PLAN

A 2,40O-foot airfield will be built at Seldovia. it was announced to- day, as the Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission mas
 ter plan received it's first approval by Civil Aeronautics Administra- ton officials in Washington, DC. The field will cost $l0,000, with 75 percent of the cost being borne Ky the CAA, the remainder being raised through use of approximately one-third of the motor fuel tax levied in the Territory.
 The Commission. which got under way June l, proposed some six or eight public airfields in its master plan for the Territory, and sub- mitted each to Washington official dom. Seldovia was apparently chosen as the beginning project be- cause of it's low cost and nearness to Anchorage, a wheel plane" center.
 Float planes only have been able 10 use the Kenai Peninsula port. Announcement was made by Tony i schwamm, Commission director, through Lew M. Williams, Secre- 1 tary of Alaska.
 He said that public floats at Hoonah, Tenakee and Metlakatla would be installed shortly. At pre-
 sent only private floats are in use
 there. Floats are not in the master
 plan" arrangement, but are ar
 ranged under an emergency pro-
 gram set up by the Commission.
 Other land bases proposed are
 at Fort Yukon, Kotzebue and other
 key points, cost of each of which
 has been approximated by Com
 mission members.

IDEFE TO TAKE WEEKS,
 BRIDGES SAYS

HONOLULU, Jan. 21-tR-Harry Bridges predicts his defense against federal perjury charges on the mainland would take five or six weeks.
 The head of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union arrived by plane to talk to the Hawaii conference of the ILWU local executive board.
 Bridges told reporters he thought the current perjury case is the worst one" the government ever tried against him. The government twice tried to deport him. Now it accuses him of lying when he ob- tained American citizenship by swearing he was not Communist.
 Bridges must be back at San Francisco Monday, when the de- fense begins its case.
 The labor boss asserted the gov einment had 'liars, confessed liars, as witnesses"
 T think he added, we'll get four or five perjury indictments out of it."
 Bridges said one issue to be dis cussed at the Hawaiian meeting was the CIO custer action against his ILWU.

SEX SLAYER
 SANE MAN SAYS JUDGE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2l - lR = Fred Stroble is sane and must die for murdering six-year-old Linda aJoyce Glueoft.
 Superior Judge Charles w. FTicke, who ruled him sane, will pro- nounce sentence next Friday Under California law it will have to be death in the gas chamber because the jury convicted him of first de- gree murder with no recommenda- ton of leniency.
 Lone uncertainty for the 6S-year- old grandfather now is when he will meet his end. The law also provides for automatic review Of all death sentences by the State Su- preme Court, which sometimes takes several months.
 Stroble's defense counsel aban- doned the attempt to argue his plea of insanity as a sixth doctor sub mitted a report to the court ind
 ing the defendant sane. Previously,
 three court-appointed doctors and two defense psychiatrists had ruled Stroble was sane whe., he killed
 little Linda, playmate o. nis grand daughter.
 Strobles trial included tense reading and recording playback oi his confession of the sex staying. He admitted enticing the girl into q Bedroom strangling, beating ana stabbing her to death last Nov. l4' He took the courts vercict of ms sanity calmly, contrasting with his -reakdown on Thursday when the jury of 10 women and two men
 found him guilty.

|5TATEH0 00D BILL MAY GET
 BEFORE HOUSE
If Peterson Recognized. Will Bring 10 Floor-
 Talk Vet Homesteads
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

bN U. w n AlANAD
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-1R-A till to grant Alaska statehood may be brought before the House as result of yesterdays defeat of san attempt to restore the House Rules Committees power to pigeon hole legislation
 Under the present House Rules committee chairman is given the right to ask the House to take a bill away from the Rules Commit tee if he has served notice at least 2l days before.
 Chairman Petersen D-Fla> of the Public Lands Committee told a reporter he will seek recognition to call up the Alaska statehood bill when the House convenes Monday. Notice of his intention to do so was served on the Rules Committee during the last session.
 The Chairmen of five or six other committees also are expected to seek recognition to ask House ac- tion on their measures including the FEPC, hospital and science bills. What legislation will be called up depends upon whom the Speaker recognizes.
 Peterson said he wants to call up the Alaska Statehood Bill first, if the speaker should recognize him. Next, he said, will be bills to make Hawaii state and to pro- vide for Alaska homesteading whereby war veterans can home- stead as much as 2.560 acres. Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said he telieves the action on the Rules committee has improved chances of getting House vote on the Alaska ! and Hawaiian statehood bills.

 ROBBERY ANGLE

BOSTON, Jan. 21-tR-A veteran Brinks employee was still under questioning today and police said ne would be until we clean up one angle" in the hunt for the Halloween masked gang who loot ed the armored car firm of mil lion dollars.
 [ Capt. Francis M. Tiernan said William E. Manter, 49, a 22-year employee of Brink's Inc, was still held after being picked up last night when police alarm went out for him.
 Herman spoke of the 'one angle" but would not say anything more about it.
 The search turned today to "a western Massachusetts city" Tier nan said but he said he could not identify the city or say why it figured in the nations greatest cash raid.
 "A oCIO1lo NfSi ard Pfaff, left headquarters today and Tiernan said he "only came in for questioning and was very cooperative
 Pfaff was one of the five guards surprised in the Tuesday night 2O- minute stickup in Brink's counting room in a north end garage.
 Two Boston detectives were in New York today but police here said they could give no report on their investigation.
 Still under consideration, Police said, was a report from a woman early this week who said she saw the bandit car arrive outside the Brinks garage.
 Police quoted the woman as say ing she got a good look" at two men who stepped from that car.

FARM EXTENSION
 SERVICE GOES 10
 ALASKA VILLAGES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-tR-A House Appropriations subcommit- tee was told at hearing on the Agriculture Department appropria- tion bill that the Departments extension service is trying to serve the scattered villages in Alaska as well as farmers.
 w. L. Wilson, Director of the extension service, said in testimony made public today.
 The extension service in Alaska is endeavoring not only to reach the farmers of Alaska but also the people who live in villages or who are scattered out in the Territory engaged in numbering, fishing and so forth.
 "The children of many of these people do not have opportunities for the kind of associations that come from All club work, so that the All club work is being expanded.
 The home demonstration Work dealing with home problems in AL aska is being expanded and more effective service is being given to homesteaders and to the farm people,"
 Wilson said that because many of the people are new to the Terri tory and are farming under new environment, personal service by the extension service is of great importance.
 He said extension workers in the Territory must like pioneering and not object to Alaska weather and must be familiar with dairying and the raising of potatoes and veget- iables."

Anti rum an Force Whipped But No Hope'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21--tR- Administration leaders saw little prospect today of smooth sailing for the Truman program, despite the smarting defeat they handed a GOP-Dixie coalition trying to take control of the House.
 Much credit for their 236 to l83 triumph yesterday, they said, must go to the civil rights issue which cost the coalition large chunk of Republican votes.
 They got little comfort from a Republican hint that a new effort to change the House rules may be made later.
 CONTROL SOUGHT
 The test yesterday was on a coalit backed move to give the Rules committee virtual life-and- death control over major legisla- ton. The committee is dominated by Republican and Southern mem- bers.
 The debate that preceded the showdown left no doubt that the Presidents program was major issue. Leaders of 10th sides said as much.
 The issue is whether or not the entire Truman program will suc- ceed or be defeated" said Rep Allen (R-IlD, top minority member of the Rules Committee.
 The gentleman from Illinois, MT. l Allen, has laid down the issue, said Speaker Sam Rayburn oi Texas, head of the Truman forces The coalition had proposed to knock out a 1949 rule allowing other committees to bypass the Rules sroup after 21 days. Even optimistic administration leaders had not counted on collecting more thar i 50 COP votes. They actually go' 64. But they lost 85 Democrats. ONE WING LOSES ] In short, the Southern Demo cratic wing of the coalition de- livered it's top strength, but theil Republican support didn't cont through.
 Here are some typical explana tions:
 Rep. Kirwan (D-Ohio), Chair
 man of the Democratic Nationa
 Congressional Committee = "Th
 progressive Republicans finally de
 cided to bow to the will of tn
 people,
 | Rep. Clarence Brown (R-Ohio)
 who wanted the rule changed-"th
 issue was beaten by lett-win 1 Democrats and GA me-too Repub i licans."
 Rep Cox (D-Ga), a leader 0 the Southern Democrats" ad
 ministration just held the Repue
 licans' feet to the fire too much.

FIRST LIGHT READY,
 ITO GO, IN BRIGHT
 PATH TO GU5TAVUj

Installation of the first of five powerful beacons to provide a lighted airway between Juneau and Gustavus has been completed, and the second installation is scheduled for next week.
 Bernie H. Reiten, Civil Aeronau- tics Administration resident engi- neer in charge, and a construction crew aboard the BSP 3144 installed a beacon at Sisters Island this week. The party was to return to Juneau this afternoon.
 The second light will be at Point Retreat, where navigation bea- con will, be converted into com- bined aerial-marine beacon. A crew will go out Thursday to complete this work.
 Double-end rotating airway hea- cons are to be installed at another intermediate point and on 35-foot steel CAA towers at Lena Point and Mendahall Peninsula.
 The omplete installation amounts to about $7,500 and is ex- pected to be finished not later than March, according to Reiten.
 Working with Reiten at this end of the project is William R. Weber, CAA construction engineer.
 Completion of the lighted airway will be important in improving service to Juneau, as pilots making instrument landings at Gustavus will be able to follow the path of light right to the Juneau field.
 Simultaneously, Reiten is super vising construction of three one- family housing units at Gustavus for personnel. He formerly was stationed at Gustavus to rebuild the Salmon River Bridge at Straw berry Point and revise the drain. age system at the airport to pre- vent such floods as washed tht bridge out last fall.
