PATROL CRAFT ON
ARMY PIER Being
READIED FOR WORK

On her earliest trip north in
many years, the 110-foot patrol
boat Brant of the Fish and Wildlife
Service fleet, is locked at the army
pier in Juneau as her crew is busy
on overhaul work on five small
patrol craft, readying them for the
coming fishing season.
Under command of Capt. Jim
Collins, the Brant will remain here
a month and then will operate out
of here for the season. She carries
10-man crew.
A 5O-ton crane on the army dock
enabled the Brant's crew to lift the
five small vessels to the dock for
overhaul work. The dock and its
equipment are on loan from the
army to the service.
Other vessels soon to leave
Seattle after their winter lay-up
are the Teal, Dennis VIM, and
Kittiwake, according to Clarence
Rhode, regional director for the
service.
The Teal departs May 7 for
Southeast Alaska ports and will
continue to Anchorage. to be based
out of there. She will cover Prince
William Sound and Cook Inlet dur
ing the season.
The Dennis VIM, the services
largest vessel, $50 feet in length and
former Army FS boat, will depart
May 8 with 300 tons of freight
loaded to capacity for stations in
Bristol Bay. She carries materials
to build two large counting weirs,
plus aircraft materials.
Will Follow Ice
She will go into the Bay imme-
diately after the ice is out so the
weirs may be erected before the
first fish gets up the streams
Rhode said
The old Crane leaves May TO-
passing through Juneau on her
way to Kodiak, False Pass and CHG
mix with freight. Her station viii
be at Chignik during the season.
Kodiak will have good-sized
patrol vessel this year for the first
time since 1947. She is the newest
craft under control of the service
being a 75-foot former Army tug.
Vessels already in the north are
the Blue Wing, stationed at Craig;
the Auklet at Wrangell, the Grizzly
Bear at Juneau, and several small
launches at various points.

CHAMBER T0EQUIp
five INFORMATION
CENTER5 This YEAR

There will be at least five infor-
nation centers in Juneau for the
convenience of tourists this year, it
was announced today.
They will be sponsored by the
Chamber of Commerce and will be
situated in stores and transporta-
ton company offices, according to
Charles w. Carter, chairman OF the
chambers tourist committee.
Five business houses have already
offered to serve as information
centers, he told the Chamber OF
Commerce at its regular noon meet
ing in the Baranof Hotel today.
The Chamber voted its approval

and city maps with which to equip
the centers.
Carter said the information CEN
tiers will be able to give summer visi-
tors information on points of in

with the aid of the maps.
The information centers will also
be equipped to give information on
sport fishing and hunting in this
part of Southeast Alaska, and to
arrange side trips by sea and air,
he said.
An effort is also being made to
form an all-Alaska tourist associa-
ton, according to Carter. He SAID
the Alaska, Development Board is
cooperating with Alaskan chambers
of commerce in an attempt to or
ganize the association.
1t will probably be patterned after
Hawaii's tourist association, he said
But we can't expect to catch up
with Hawaii in a couple OF years.,
Carter stated. ut took them %
years to get where they are"
In an effort to attract travellers
on the Alaska Highway to Juneau,
the Chamber of Commerce will
make goodwill tour to the point
where the Haines Cutoff joins the
Alaska Highway. Carter said.
There sign will be erected di-
recting travellers to Juneau.
No date has been set for the
tour, which will go as far as White

was the. showing of the Alaska De-
velopment Boards movie production
Alaska US.A."
George Sundborg. consultant to
the Development Board, told the
Chamber that the picture was made
primarily for showing in the states.
Every major sport and industry in
Alaska is covered in the 3O-minute
film.

NO RAISE
IN PRICE
0FG0LD
Board Of Directors Of WMF
Also Rejects South
African Proposal

WASHINGTON. May 4-4R-The
World Monetary Funds board OF d.
rectors declares there is mo eco-
nomic justification" for raising the
price of gold above $35 an ounce.
With that. the board rejected a
South African proposal that half
of all newly-mined gold be per-
mitted to be sold in international
markets at any higher price than
could be obtained for it.
The $35 rate, which also has been
the official US. price for more
than Is years. has in effect fixed a
ceiling on international selling and
buying prices for the funds Al
member countries.
South Africa, as the worlds big
gest producer of gold. stood to gain
the most profit from premium price
sales abroad if the fund changed
its position and authorized them.
The United States. although
ranked the third biggest gold pro-
ducer-Canada is rated the Sec
ond--strongly opposed the South
African proposal, partly on the
ground it would amount to sub
sidy and a form of involuntary U-S.
aid to foreign gold producers.
PRUSSIA, which is a top ranking
gold producer itself and is believed
by some US. officials to be second
only to the US. in accumulated
holdings of gold, is not a member
of the fund. One Soviet satellite,
Czechoslovakia, is in the fund, and
another, Poland, recently quit it,

LIBRARY FUND DRIVE
CONSULTED BY BOARD
C0N5ULTANT FOR $40

Development of the Juneau Mem
orial Library fund grew apace to-
day aided by an expert in that
ield.
George Sundborg, consultant for
the Alaska Development Board,
spends great deal of time and
energy in his capacity of top sales
man for the Northland and chief
answerer-of- questions from persons
throughout the United States who
want to know everything about Al
aska.
The other day Sundborg took
time out from his regular duties to
consult the paper on how the Ii
brary drive was doing, and decided
it needed boost, too.
So he placed check on the desk
of DR.. James G. Ryan, commiss-
ioner of education and library
board member, for $70-a ten buck
kick-in from each member of his
family.
There is of course George him
self; his wife, Mary, and their five
children: Pierre, IL years old;
George Jr., 10 years old; Rosemary
3 years old; Stephen. 6 years old;
and Sarah, years old.
Coupled with Sundborg's check
was $25 anonymous contribution
to the fund, given to B. d. Stew
art, acting chairman of the drive.
That 10 Cents Again!
And then Vic Power got in am
ong those who were concerned over
that 10 cents which hung SO long
on the end of each days balance,
and told DR.. Ryan that he was tired
of looking at it, and forced that
much money into the board mem
ber's hands. Dr. Ryan didn't want
to take it, because other contribu-
lions had previously come in with
10 cents attached, and this would
throw it all off again.
Makes no difference" said Pow
ers, "at least it will be different"
Power was quite right. Today's
total is $3.50, with the balance
now $258.61!
Now hold your htas and don't
stand up, because that $4,000

ices Administration will make $14O,-

WASHINGTON = Ex-Communist
Louis Budenz swung his Red brush
in wide arc the other day and
Smeared two dozen more Americans

hero and famous editor.
He delivered his new Red list
behind closed doors to the Senate

McCarthy's charges. The only
name that leaked out afterward
was reported triumphantly by Nc
earthly on the Senate floor-Hal-
dore Hanson. However, Senator
Mcmahon of Connecticut disagreed
with Mccarthy.
The inside fact is, Mccarthy de-
pended upon Senator Hickenlooper
of Iowa for his information, be-
cause the subcommittee refused to
give Mccarthy copy of the Sec
ret minutes. In fact, the session
was so secret that Chairman Tyd-
ings of Maryland asked Budenz to
identify his list by numbers instead
got SO mixed up with the numbers
that Tydings finally agreed to let

Macarthur
GIVES SLAP
TO RUSSIA
Provocative lmpertin-
enCe" 10 Ask About What
u. 5. Is Doing in Pacific
(By the Associated Press)

General Douglas Macarthur slap
ped down today a Russian protest
hat the United States is fortify-
ing Japan in defiance of Allied
Occupation policies.
In scorching letter to 1t. Gen.
Kuzma Derevyanko, Russian rep
resentative in Tokyo who raised
the issue yesterday, Macarthur
called the Russian charges pro-
aocative impertinence."
The Russian had referred to re
construction Of former japanese
Naval and Air Bases in Japan and
Okinawa. Macarthur in effect told
him what the United States did
in Okinawa was none OF the Krem-
Inns business. Said Macarthur:
your inquiry concerning this
matter is therefore presumption
without the slightest excuse of
validity"
AS for bases in Japan proper, the
American General said they Will be
maintained in condition Of such
adequacy and preparedness as will
insure the fullest security. opera
tional efficiency. and most conf
plete readiness for any eventuality."
1t was tough talk by tough Gen.
eral who represents American might
in the Orient. 1t was CHARACTERISTIC
of the substantially sharper tone
with which the United States now
speaks to the Soviets.
In Frankfurt, the US. High Com
missioner noted a growing tendency
by West German newspapers to
soft-pedal the cold war issues divid-
ing Russia and the Western Allies.
The softening attitude was viewed
by political observers as q propa-
ganda victory for the Russians.
Tnes High Commissions report
showed that many West German
newspapers are swallowing the Rus
sian story that the East-West strug-
gle is none of their affair.
