4 ALASKA AIRFIELD5 ARE COMPLETED WITHIN ONE WEEK

Just before returning to Anchor age today after about two weeks in this area, Alaska Aviation Direc- tor George S. (Tony) Schwamm expressed satisfaction over progress of airport construction in the Ter ritory.
 Four air strips will have been completed in the week between last Tuesday and next Tuesday.
 Schwamm had just received word from Lytle and Green in Anchor age that work on the Fort Yukon airport was finished at noon today.
 This means a lot to all the back country there," Schwamm said. Fort Yukon serves the big area of the Chandalar country, the Porcupine and Upper Yukon areas. and it should mean lower freight rates for supplies
 The 3,75O-foot gravel runway is long enough for DC-3's.
 With the Federal Government bearing approximately two thirds of the expense, the total contract was for $123,200.
 A 2,000-foot gravel runway under contract to J. Ramstad Construc- tion Company, Anchorage, was completed Saturday at Seldovia.
 With the Territory carrying about one-third of the cost, construction of this strip came to $47,280.
 The Matanuska Valley Fair Asso- citation is sponsoring a dedication ceremony for the official opening of the Matanuska Valley Airport at Palmer Saturday afternoon, the day on which construction is sched- uled for completion.
 The old 2,50O-foot north-south runway now will be 3,750 feet long. The east-west runway has been ex- tended from 1900 to 4,900 feet, long enough to permit landings of DC- As.
 Total cost of this project under the Federal Aid to Airport program was $121,227. The contract was awarded to the Palmer Construc- tion Company.
 After inspecting the Skagway project yesterday, Schwamm voiced special satisfaction with that con- struction.
 T am very proud of that air port" he said today. Tt came out even better than we expected"
 The 3,700-foot gravel runway is due to be finished Tuesday, work being done by the Munter Con- struction Company. This strip will cost $113,773.
 All four runways were conStruc- ted under the. Federal Airport Aio program.
 Besides those mentioned, the Warm Springs Bay seaplane base on Baranof Island was completed yesterday. The new float for the Sitka seaplane base has been lowed there, although it is not yet moored.
 Schwamm spent part of his time in Southeast Alaska inspecting those and other seaplane floats.

United Nations troops lashed back, but their small scale counterattack was stalled af- ter pushing the Reds back mile north of the port city.
 The battle along the northern line grew hourly in intensity. The outskirts of Pohang, eastern anchor of the United Nations beachhead in South Korea, were wrecked in the furious see-saw fighting. The Com munistS also threatened to the west Is miles north of Taegue, forward base of LIN forces. Behind the Reds 40, 1000 northern front troops, more strength was reported massing- perhaps three divisions strong.
 Battling For Hill
 On the central Naktong River front U. s. First Cavalry Division forces drove against hill position of the Reds near Waegwan, + miles northwest of Taegue. They were forced to withdraw, but U s. spokesman said the attack would be renewed and the hill would be | taken.
 The Reds were taking bloody loss es for just few yards of territory outside Pohang. They drove to the gates of the city, before small scale American and South Korean tank infantry attack was thrown against them, edging them back tc at least mile north of the city
 The Communists threatened te cut the Pohang- -Taegue road, isolat- ing the South Korean forces now north of Pohang.

DETROIT City housing Of
ficials this week admitted that they
segregate Negro and white ten
ants in all of their public housing

Argument on a motion by gov

against Raymond M. Foley, adj

BERT WILLIAMS GHOST

I'LL
NEW YORK (ANP)- A great
tradition of the American laugh
scene, the Theatre, was immortal
Bert Williams.
This highly esteemed colored
Falstaff, who made millions roll in
their seats with his matchless hui
NOR and razor-sharp witticisms,
was paid $4,000 per week in a day
when such pay had three times
the purchasing power of the larg-
er weekly envelopes drawn by such
as "Mr. B" BILLY Eckstine), Lee

Magazine writer's of Holiday,
and pocket-size Pageant, recently
turned out stories about the illus
trious partner of fashion plate
George Walker, a team that made
Vaudeville history shortly after
the turn of the century. Today,
the ghost of Bert Williams can be
daily seen on the streets of Har-
lem.
Are you kidding or under the
influence of strong drink, some of
you readers must be thinking at
this stage of the story? The an

O6 as "The Ghost Of Bert Will
liams."
When ready for his act, Bob AL
len more closely resembled Bert
Williams than perfectly matched
twins do each other.
Born in Philadelphia, June l.,
1881, the son of Mary and John
Allen (mother's maiden name was
Williams), Bob Allen made his
first stage appearance at a tender
age. By the time he was 16 he was
a fine physical speciman Gust as
he is today excelling in such
sports as swimming, boxing, broad
jumping, running etc.
In 1897 he was known through
out the country as the champion
cakewalker Of the south making
the treatre circuite Of Norfolk,
Va, Richmond, Va, Charlottesville,
N. c., Columbia, S. c., and At
lanta. His ambition was to be-
come a truly great comedian, one
like the man after whom he pat
termed his life, Bert Williams. For
two solid vars, 19O6-O8, Bob was
the understudy Of the great Bert
Williams. He perfected the famous
poker game act of Williams that
made the king of comedians the
toast of two continents up to the
time of his death.
