The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON


 HASHINGTON-Here is more in- sight into the operations of Wis consin's mercurial Senator Joe Mo- Carthy.
 In 1948, Mccarthy went on a 30O00- tour of the country, supposedly to study the nations housing.
 A few months later, in the spring of 1949, Senator Mccarthy was in need of financial aid, while Carl Strandlund, President of the Lus- tron Corporation of Columbus, Ohio, was in need of congressional aid.
 Lustron,, almost wholly financed by the Federal Government, was having great difficulty launching it's prefabricated housing venture despite 32,OOO,00O REC dollars. In fact, Lustron was having such dif- ficulty that some Congressman pro- posed an investigation.
 It was about this time that Sem ator Mccarthy and Lustron-boss Strandlund developed what am- ounted to Mutual-Aid Pact. Mo- Carthy dashed off a 7,000-word article on housing, and Strand- lund paid him s1e,OOo tor it. The

Reds Make
 Landings On Haina1
More Reinfortements or Bedchhedds- Situation
 Is Now Serious

TAIPEI, Formosa, April 19--Rl-
 A reliable source said tonight the
 Chinese Reds have landed rein forcements on Hainan Island, where
 they won two beachheads Monday GA civilian pilot who arrived in Hong Kong today from Hainan said
 the Reds have landed 5000 more troops on the northern beaches.) Jubilation over earlier Nationalist claims of smashing victory gave way to anxiety in this Nationalist
 capital.
 Generalissimo Chaing Kai-sheS called his service chiefs into a hud- dle to find what went wrong on the South China island. They sought to develop quickly a smoother coordination between commanders there. Defense units apparently fought independently of each other. This permitted the Reds to make deep inroads, apparently. Situation Serious One high official said the situa- ton was serious.
 The informant said, however, the Reds landed only few new troops He said many troop-laden craft were sunk before they could reach the beachhead.
 Adm. Kewi Yung-Ching, Nation alist Naval chief. said it was harc 1 to stop all invading craft. One of the most difficult things in the world to sink is wooden junk" he said. we could do witr some high speed boats with flame throwers. That would be the bes' way to tackle them" 5000 Reds Killed | Kwei said the Navy had killed more than 5000 invaders at sea dur l ing the Monday attack. He predicted the Reds. if they take Hainan, would turn their full attention to Southeast Asia. (Pro-Red newspapers in Hons Kong said the Chinese Communist 1 were moving inland, "mopping III i Nationalist resistance" (The Ia Kung Pao said the Red'
 routed one division and two bat | talions of the enemy and annihi' I lated four troop companies of ont
 battalion"

CHAPMAN TS TO TALK ON
 STATEHOOD
Secretary of Inferior Is Scheduled as First Speak,
 CT, Monday Hearing

WASHINGTON, April 19 = R - Secretary of the Interior Chapman is expected to be the first witness Monday when the Senate Interior Committee begins it's study of bills to grant statehood to Alaska.
 Committee attaches said today that since Chapman is to be the only cabinet officer to testify in the hearing, he undoubtedly would be called first.
 They said the second witness fav- bring statehood will probably rep resent the Defense or State De- partment.
 But those opposing Alaskan state- hood plan to present their side of the case too.
 Committee officials said they do not yet have the names of all those favoring or opposing statehood who will testify. The list of proponents is being prepared by Gov. Ernest Gruening, who will support the bill himself.
 Committee officials said some persons who wished to testify have written they fear coming to Wash ington because they have been sum- moned as witnesses before Federal Grand Jury Investigating monopoly at Anchorage.
 The committee took that up with , the Justice Department, the off, cials said, and was assured that any witness for or member of the grand jury who makes affidavit that he is to testify before the Senate Com mittee will be excused from grand jury proceedings. The committee plans to devote all next week to witnesses on the bill.
 The following week it will hear witnesses for and against state- hood for Hawaii.

ULTIMATUM
 I5 GIVEN TO HYDABURG

WASHINGTON, April 19-R- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said to- day that if. the Hydaburg, Alaska Indians accept the government $ proposal to set up a reservation for them they will have to give up claims to almost 100000 acres of land outside the area.
 The Indians vote on the Inter- for Departments proposal in an election Monday.
 Bartlett said the original order calling for the election required the Indians to surrender their land claims if they accept the reserva- tion.
 The delegate told reporter Secretary of the Interior Chapman informed him today no amend- ments will be made to the reser- vation order issued by former Sec retary Krug last November 30.
 T understand many residents of Hydaburg are likely to reject the reservation offer if they have to give up their other claims if it is accepted" Bartlett said.

"M05T IMPORTANT"
 SPECIAL ELECTION E
 SET FOR TOMORROW

An election, described by city of- ficials and community leaders ns one of the most important in the history of Juneau, will be held to- morrow in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
 Voters will decide whether or not certain city properties will be turned over to the Territory as a site for new Territorial building A ballot marked ives" will indicate the voters approval of granting the Arctic Brotherhood Hall property and selling the City Hall property and the vacant lot adjoining it on Fourth Street to the Territory.
 The Territorial Board of Admin istration has agreed to pay the city S60,000 for the City Hall property and the vacant lot. The city will be required to clear lease agree ment and demolish the present structures.
 The city, including the Highlands will be included in one precinct, with the sole voting place in the Council Chambers of the City Hall. The polling place will open at am. and remain open until 2 pm.
 It has been pointed out that un- less the ordinance providing for the property transfer is approved by voters tomorrow, Anchorage will undoubtedly make an effort a. the next meeting of the Legislature to have the capital of the Terri tory moved to the Hub City.
 The ordinance to be passed by voters calls for construction to be- gin on the new Territorial building within two years and six months from the date of the ordinance and for the letting of a contract not later than January 1. 1851.
 Voters will register when they vote, city officials said. Qualifica- tions for voting are the same as for any general municipal election: one years residence in the Territory ot Alaska and 30 days in Juneau. The voter must also be a citizen of the United States and at least 2l years of age.
 If the important ordinance is ratified, plans will be made im- mediately for constructing new municipal building on Fourth Street directly across from the present City Hall. The library. planned for that location, will be constructed at the upper end of the block.
 The Juneau Chamber of Con- merce is among the community or ganizations campaigning for the passage of the ordinance.
