Just One Thing After
Another, Then Some

FAIRBANKS, Alaska. Oct. 13-
R-It was one of those chain re-
action things, SO the sad story OF
Jack Courtney might as well start
from the beginning. To enumerate;
l. He stopped his jeep by an
empty cabin about Al miles from
here on the Richardson highway
2. He drained the watery gaso-
line out of the jeep and put it into
cans he found in the cabin.
8. He lighted a cigaret
4. His gloves caught fire.
5. He tossed them to the ground
where they ignited small pool Of
spilled gasoline.
6. The gas and glove flames spread
to the tires of his jeep and set
them afire.
7. Two Fairbanks firemen on their
day off drove up, stopped, and pre-
pared to launch into some off-duty
fire. fighting.
8. One hoped into the jeep to
drive it away from the house-then
discovered the jeep was out of gas.
9. The other fireman dashed to
his automobile to get fire ex-
tinguisher-and discovered he was
out of fire extinguishers.
10. The flames meanwhile con-
sumed the jeep, then devoured the
cabin right down to the last log.
IL. Courtney hitchhiked a ride
back to town.

DEMOCRATS
GAINING IN
HOUSE RACE
Each Party Now Holds Z
House Seats : RepubIi-
cans Lead in Senate

Mounting returns from Tuesdays
election brought an increasingly
nip-and-tuck race between the Re-
publicans and Democrats for con-
troll of Alaska's legislature.
Late returns put Democrats into
the lead for all seven of the Third
Divisions seats in the House and
for one additional seat in the First
Division.
1t represented a gain of three
since yesterday for the Democrats
as they whitfield away at the big
overall gains the Republicans
scored in the Legislature on a Ter
ritory-wide basis.
The way the counting stood today,
Republicans led for six Senate seats,
the Democrats for two; the Repub-
licans and Democrats were tied
1912 in the House race.
Some of the margins were so
narrow, especially in the Second Di-
vision Nome and the Northwest
where the vote is small, that the
standings might easily be upset.
Returns received this morning
from Mt Edgecumbe and James
town Bay placed Democrats Andrew
Hope of Sitka and Amelia Gunder-
sen in the running, dropping Marcus
Jensen, Democrat of Douglas, back
to 9th place and M. L. MacSpadden
Republican of Juneau, to 10th place
Gundersen, however, had lead
of only seven votes over Jensen
who, in turn, was only 20 ahead OF
MacSpadden.
Senate Race in First
There was no change in the First
Division Senate race. Engstrom, Re
publican, and Nolan, Democrat, are
running close together and nearly
a thousand votes ahead of Peratro-
vich, Democrat.
First Division precincts still I'M
reported are: Kake, Cape Fanshaw
Windham, Funter, Bell Island
Myers Chuck, Kasaan, Point Baker
Goddard, Chichagoff, Kimshan

UN GIVEN
WARNING
BY DULLES
Must Strengthen Itself or
Initiative for Peace
Will Fall

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 13-R-
us. Delegate John Foster Dulles
warned today that the United Ma
tons must strengthen itself or see
the initiative for peace fall from its
hands.
Replying, Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky accused the
United States of pushing a policy of
toughness toward Russia, which he
said is failing.
The two men wound up general
debate in the U.N. Assembly's po-
litical security. Dulles called for
adoption of the plan. Vishinsky de-
clared the backed resolu-
ton is based on false premises and
its motives ARE false" He said
Russia is willing to go halfway
in negotiations but will not accept
dictation.
The seven-power plan - which
Acheson has explained grew out
of the lessons of Korea-provides for
emergency session of the General
Assembly called on "a hours notice,
for peace patrols to report on acts
of aggression and for the earmark-
ing by member nations of military
units to be placed at the disposal
of the U.N. in time of crisis.
Elsewhere in the U.N. the United
States laid down a three-point blue
print today for Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur to rule North Korea until
the U.N. Korean commission and
the Koreans can decide on estab-
fishing unified country.
1t also calls for trials of war
criminals, but no reprisals against
North Korean soldiers or Com
munist party members in the north.
The us. agreed with a recon-
mendation made yesterday by the
seven nation commission, which
would in effect limit the authority
of President Syngman Rhee and
the Republic of Korea to the south
while the whole problem is being
settled. That recommendation was
cabled to Macarthur yesterday.

Rally Behind SeuetdrY's
Reappoinfment

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 13-R-
The United States and its friends
rallied behind Trygve Lie today in
an effort to keep him as United
Nations Secretary General despite
Russian opposition.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister

Russia's 46th veto in the Security
Council to block second five-year
term for the Norwegian diplomat
as head of the world organization.

us. Representative Warren r.
Austin. as October President of the
Council, sent a letter to Nasrollah
Entezam of Iran, President of the
veto-free General Assembly, saying
that the Council had failed to
agree on reelection.
Most delegations here agreed that
this left the problem up to the
Assembly, although it was expected
that the Russians would attempt
to maintain that nothing could be
done without their express consent.
Austin, talking to reporters after
the secret session of the Council,
said:
There was never a moment OF
doubt in our (the American posi-
ton. We have been for Lie from
the beginning. We consider him
exceptionally gifted with extraor-
binary characteristics fitting him
for this job for which there is no
precedent"
Shown a copy of Austin's re-
marks, Lie was very pleased. The
Secretary General had been down
cast by the Soviet veto and worried
that he had failed in his job.
May I take a copy of this home
to show Mrs. Lie?" he asked.

The big guns of 81 United Ma

fire today into Communist suppl!

100 miles today and battered the
rail-highway town of Tanchon. De-
stroyers and cruisers continued the

Communist troops. To the south,
three US. First Cavalry Division
columns, plus British and Austria
liam troops, moved from the south
on Kumchon, rs miles southeast Of
Pyongyang. Two other columns
closed in from the east and west,
trying to snap shut trap on some
10000 Reds in and south of Kum-
chon.

On the eastern end of the front
in North Korea, South Korean
troops pushed three miles north OF

sistance. under heavy support from

Air and artillery fire concentrated
on wiping out pockets of Reds.

1,400 Reds In "a hours, bringing

ver's determination to investigate
the Malta requires lot more cour-

Not only is it dangerous from the
point of view of personal safety,
but it is dangerous politically. For
the Malta has friends and protec-

President Truman had no idea
what was happening, and probably
his naive military aide, Maj. Harry
Vaughn. did not suspect it, but the
Malta was making a play for White

the throes of unearthing real dyna-
