HIGH GRADE 0RE
STRUCK In WILLOW
CREEK AREA NOW

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept III
Forty years ago oldtime prospec-
tor Ward Strauf would have been
jubilant over striking high grade
ore assaying 81 600 per ton.
But unlike the old days, there's
little excitement among Strauf and
other miners today.
Hand drilling in the hard rock Of
the Willow Greek District, Strauf
and his partner expect $4,000
cleanup this season. They pack the
ore four miles on their backs, then
carry it by auto to the Index mine
for milling.
1.-The price isn't right to import
machinery" Strauf declares.

PROTEST SENT BY
FISH BUYERS ON
FREIGHT BOOST

Protests have been made to the
Maritime Commissions Division OF
Regulation in Washington, ID. Z.
by the Northwest Fish Traffic Com
mittee on the increase IN SOUTH
bound rates on frozen fish by the
Alaska Steamship Co.
There are 16 members of the
Northwest Fish Traffic Committee
with the Halibut Produce Cooper
alive. the New England Fish Com
pany and the Vita Food Products,
Inc. members. Locally Elton E.
Engstrom wired the Maritime Ad-
ministration that the increased
freight rates on frozen fish be sus-
pended as of today.
Engstrom's telegram stated that
the rates "are unjust and unneces-
sary and will divert more fishing
vessels to Prince Rupert. This
competition is already serious
enough. We are resident buyers at
Juneau, Wrangell and Pelican for
Seattle concerns and wish to con-
tinue and believe hearings should
be held" The telegram was signed
by Engstrom for the Engstrom bro
theirs.
The answering telegram from A.
j. Williams of the Maritime Ad-
ministrations, Washington, d. G.
follows: Maritime Board on Aug
ust % voted not to suspend Alaska
Steamship Co. increases on frozen
fish. Action predicated on carriers
agreement to segregate funds de-
rived from raises.
Increased portion of revenues
shall be set aside for 80 days with
in which time protestants may file
formal complaint. Ii no complaint
Is filed by September %, segregated
funds shall be released to carrier.
If complaint filed on or before
September %, carrier shall continue
to hold all increased freights IN
segregated account pending final
decision by board, to be finally dis
tributed in accordance with boards
determination"
The complaint petition was filed
with the Maritime Administration
on August by the Northwest Fish
traffic Committee. AS yet no de-
cision has been handed down.
K. N. Peterson, general traffic
manager for the Alaska Steamship
Co., recently wrote Engstrom stat
ing: I'VE are making similar IN
creases in the rates from all south
east points to Prince Rupert. SO
as far as Prince Rupert is con-
cerned, there is no material change
in the picture. AS matter OF fact
the rate increases to Prince Rupef'
on percentage basis are greater
than they are to Seattle.
Since July /, 1948, we have beer
paying regular statutory charte
hire, which amounts to Seyera
hundred thousand dollars year
and insurance, on chartered Ship
from the Maritime Commission AM
we have come to the CONCLUSION
that it is proper now to ask TIL
frozen fish industry to bear 1t
proper proportion of the increased
cost of operations, and not to ex'
pect to have the whole burden fal
on other industries and freight 10
the benefit of the frozen fish in
dustry.
Il am hoping, when you consider
all of the facts, you Will agree thai
this increase is justified and W,
respectfully ask that you wire TIT
Maritime Commission withdrawing
your suspension request"
Engstrom stated this morning
that he believes the increased
freight rates is driving more fish
ermen to make their landings il
Prince Rupert instead of here.

Korean Situation

fContinued from Page One' are only about 25 miles from a linkup with the second front. Ae- rial observers spotted United Ma tions troops on the outskirts of Chonan early Tuesday.
 Allied warplanes pounded at the retreating Reds. Planes made a mass drop of 2,160,000 leaflets telling communists of the fall of Seoul, and calling on them to sur render. The leaflets said: "The loss of Seoul cuts the supply routes from the war material fac tories and arsenals of North Ko- req to the communist troops in the south. It shuts off the flow of re- Inducements to these forces and sewers their paths of retreat. Fur ther resistance is futile.'
 The capture of Seoul came II days after Allied troops landed at Inchon in MacArthur'S daring gamble to establish a new beach, head and cut the Red forces in half. The Allied force which par ticipated in the victory is Ameri- can and South Korean.
 MacArthur's communique said: "The liberation of the city was conducted in such a manner as to cause the least possible damage to civil installation" in the 500-year- old capital which normally has a population of 100000.
 Macarthur said the Reds crack ed and began to flee after a three pronged drive virtually ringed the city and captured main Red de- fense positions including the 70O- foot peak of dominating South Mountain.

Marines Enter |SmOke-filled Seoul

Continued from Page One) bonfire of all the bitterness and hate of war concentrated on one city.
 The Reds chose to defend Seoul. And the Americans are not spar ing any building where the Reds had established defenses. Seoul is being scared and battered terri bly but the Allied High Command is not sacrificing lives to save the face of Seoul.
 And strange things happen in the battered streets. Such as the Ma rine racing down a street into bat tie with two live ducks strapped to his packs and quacking madly. Such as the Red platton that marched out of the flames and smoke squarly into the muzzles of American guns. This was brief and wild slaughter of con- muniStS. And such as the Red attack before dawn which came as just the Marines were preparing to attack.
 The Marines could not have or dered an attack by the enemy at a better time American guns blasted four Red tanks, destroyed an anti-tank gun, and routed the Red infantry in a three-hour bat tie.
 In that fight before dawn U. S. artillery poured l,096 rounds of explosives into the Red positions -one of the most concentrated artillery barrages of this war. And the Marine lines held fast.
 It. Col. Robert w. Rickert of La Jolla, Calif., said By the grace of God and a long handled spoon we were ready for them"
 GAP correspondent Bill Ross, also in Seoul, said the Marines firing 3.5-inch bazookaS k.o.'d II Red tanks in the pre-dawn attack. He quoted It. Col. Raymond Mur- ray of San Diego.
 CWe may be able to take just about all of the city today-if the Reds shot their main bolt last night" Ross said a marine gener- al told him.

 area who have proven themselves loyal, patriotic and devoted Ameri- cans, and who are eager to do their share, must think that it is odd that the powerful Uncle Sam is taking away the only military post in Northwestern Alaska"
 "A pack of wolves against bari bou is better than one wolf against the herd"
 "Under the impetus of military economy it was necessary to cut expenses three years ago, but now the war in Korea means that a sizable share of national income must be spent for defense"
 "I believe," Delegate Bartlett stated that the military should re- view the situation carefully" |. "I hope that the people of. Nome will pick their spokesmen careful ly to explain to the Congressional committee the problem as it exists today. It is important that the sit uation be briefed in advance to Col J. M. Chambers so that the plan may be outlined for the com mittee."
 Pride and prestige of our na- ton is directly involved with the closing of M.A.FB. Remember it cost S3,OOO,OOO.0O to get the Jap anese off Attu. It is better at an annual cost to keep invaders off of American soil than to push them off. That's the American way.
 MT. Bartlett stated that in the last six years three quarters of billion dollars had been appropri- ated for Alaska for all purposes, of which $4O0, 100000 went directly to military purposes, but the other funds have been spent in the pres ent defense area to a great extent.
 Observation has shown that the benefits should be shared in Northwestern and Southeastern he stated, and that it was the intention, with the consent of the Bureau of the Budget, that the Nome-Solomon Road should be started next year with half to be expended next year and $1,36O,OOO for the completion of the road.
 He prophesied that roads here will have to be expanded and i'm proved, and before too many years the Nome-Fairbanks road will be an actuality which in turn means people, industry, business.
 The developments and strides made in war time will mean much to postwar development.

The visit of Delegate, E. L. Bartlett which cop- cded with the Public Meeting on Civilian Defense Mon- day, although not part of the meeting planned served to be of real value to the community when he addressed them. His view the overall picture of our defenses served to strengthen convictions that change must be made in present plans for the military strategy as now planned for Alaska.

civilian defense program followed, showing that prepared programs for other parts of the Territory and the United States cannot ap- ply in relation to evacuation, as we are isolated and have no place to go. Plans were announced in relation to progress being made to organize nurses and medical equip ment under. the direction of the Territorial Health Nurse Marie Grant. Mayor Andersen asked the support of all citizens and their cooperation when the plan is laid out in the near future.
 Lester Bronson, speaking for the C. A. P., stated that they would have a communication sys- tenn and were contemplating the Pilgrim Springs as possible med ical evacuation center.
 Concern was expressed over the lack of plans for evacuation and how families could. expect to be removed in the face of invasion. Concern was also voiced concern ing the fact that GCA radar ground control approach for planes) was being removed from this area, and that it should be retained as a means of bringing down our planes should evacua- ton be necessary when there was poor visibility
 An air force spokesman voiced the opinion that the civilians had a duty to the personnel at MAF. B. in that it should provide some recreation for the young men sta toned in the area so that they would enjoy being in Nome. He was particularly concerned with the single men on the Base.
 Members of the Chamber of Commerce committee explained that the program to be presented to the Congressional committee was we'll under way and that the Chamber committee would well come any suggestions.
 Before the meeting the final showing of Alaska U.S.A." film produced by the Alaska Develop ment Board was shown to those who had not seen it previously.

Nome challenged by air force spokesman at the Public Meeting on Civilian Defense Monday evening for it's lack of interest in the young soldiers at Marks Air Force Base. Although Nome has reputation for it's hospitality the rebuke is justified since World War II ceased have not been generous with time to these visitors
 Inasmuch as the Base has had better facilities for sports than we do films than theater recreatona facilities and hobby groups than we have in town with paid directors have not felt needed If military leaders would outline of the things they would consider important for civilians to do for these men, believe they will find Nome operative with their plans; but not knowing what the 'de-emphaszing' of Marks Air Force Base includes cannot make any plans for ourselves or our military residents
