ANNOUNCE
BUILDING
CONTROLS
Ban on New Structures for
Amusement, Reeed-
tion, Entertainment

WASHINGTON, Oct. &c - R -
The National Production Authority
today banned the building of any
new structures for amusement, rec
reational or entertainment pur-
poses"
The order, effective at midnight
tonight, was issued to conserve ma
terials for ornaments.
Covered by the ban are theaters
of all kinds, amusement parks, race
tracks, golf courses, night clubs
skating Kinks and summer camps
In all, there are A forbidden types
of structures.
The NPA Administrator, William
H. Harrison said in a statement
accompanying his action that the
barred construction sis of type
which does not further the defense
effort, either directly or indirectly
and does not increase the nations
productive capacity"
Risks Are Taken
Persons who start other buildings
which do not further the defense
drive-even though not on the pro-
hibited list-run the risk of being
barred from completion of the
building, Harrison said.
Such construction begun after
midnight may be halted "even
though its commencement at the
present time is not forbidden by
this order" the production chief
specified.
The order applies to federal, state
and city recreational projects as
well as private buildings.
More Defense YOkes
The NPA simultaneously issued
two more orders settling the de-
Tense yoke more firmly on the
economy:
1. The steel industry was directed
to furnish steel for the production
of at least 10000 freight cars a
month. This will take upwards OF
100000 tons monthly from the civil
ian supply.
2. Other ALLEGATION programs OF
the same type were made possible
by an NPA amendment to its steel
distribution order. This will permit
ALLEGATIONS of steel, similar to the
freight car plan, for steel deliveries
to the petroleum and mining in
dustries, farm machinery makers,
and other defense-supporting in
dustries.

COMMANDER FOR

TO BE NAMED SOON
(By Associated Press

A key official-who has asked
that he not be named-is predicting
that the North Atlantic military
men will recommend that an Amerl-
can be appointed supreme COM
mander-and soon.
General Dwight Eisenhower often
has been rumored to be in line fof
this critical job. And the General
himself has added to the specula-
ton by saying that he's coming to
Washington in the next few days
to talk with officials in the Defense
Department.
1t is thought that either General
Eisenhower or General Omar Brad
ley would be welcomed as the TOP
man by all concerned in the IL
nation alliance.

FRONTIER
OF TIBET
CROSSED
tBy Associated Press)

In Berlin, a Soviet controlled
newspaper announced that Chinese
Communist forces have crossed
Tibet's frontier to "liberate" the
people of the little mountain ma
ton.
The first assertion that Red Chi
nese actually had entered Tibet
came from Taegliche Rundschau
which said:
TN the early morning hours OF
Tuesday, a formation of the Chi
nese Peoples Army crossed the Ii
betan frontier" The advancing force
was identified as the Second Chi
nese field army.
This followed an announcement
by the Peiping radio yesterday that
Red China's troops had been ordered
to march on Tibet.
The Communist Chinese have
been limiting and threatening an in
vasion of Tibet for months. In
Moscow, the Communist newspaper
Pravda said the Chinese Second
Field Army has been ordered into
action. It said the liberation" army
would bring freedom, peace and
democracy to the 100000 inhabit-
ants of that remote region. The
Communists charge Tibet is domi-
mated by Britain and the United
States.

Demouaty-Labor Con-
vention Is in Session

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Oct. 90
-tR-Congressional Delegate E. l..
Bartlett declared before the Ter
ritorial Federation of Labor yes
terday that Alaskas Democratic
Party is not going conservative"
He said it would not desert its
historic liberality," as indicated
by some party leaders after the re-
cent territorial election.
Bartlett asserted efforts of At
torney James E. Curry of WASH
ington, D. c., on behalf of Indian
groups, to turn labor against the
statehood bill because the bill
freezes reservations at the present
status, ought to fail.
He said the bill has a clause
guaranteeing all Federal and In
dian lands and fishing grounds. He
added that the issue is not import
ant because Secretary of Interior
Chapman had declared publicly he
would not establish any more re-
servations in Alaska without full
review and public hearings. ,
ALL Purposes
Harry O'Reilly OF Washington, or
ganization director for the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, told the
convention the AFL has no right
or left wings He said it has only
"a single purpose to improve the
social and economic lot Of the
working people through voluntary
association for that purpose"
fractional Fight
A fractional fight was reported
to be brewing behind the scenes
between the Dave Beck-led Team
sters Union and the operating en-
gineers. The teamsters tried two.
years ago to gain several import
ant posts in the Territorial Fed
Grafton, but failed. The operating
engineers are strong in Alaska,
where they handle heavy equip
ment
Rank and-Fi Control
Ed Weston, President of the
Washington State Federation of
Labor, told the convention earlier
in the week that Dave Beck, using
one-man control in his union, has
kept its members out of the State
Federation. He said his own Boiler
makers Union and the State Fed
Grafton insist on rank-and file con-
troll
The convention voted to continue
publishing the monthly Alaska Fed
erationist after Anchorage Electro
clans Union had tried to kill the
news organ.
The convention went on record
by resolution for Alaska rent con-
troll and broader unemployment
benefits.

Thus did George Jessel eulogize
over the body of his friend. AL Jol-

Jolson's co-workers and friends in

Merry 60 Round

BY DREW PEARSON

LOS ANGELES - Watching the
ndidates-These are days so many
claims are made by candidates that
it's hard for the average voter to
sift the true facts before election
time.
AS result, voting in a hurry
and repenting at leisure sometimes
saddles unfortunate Congressmen
on the nation.
AS guide to voters, therefore,
this column will attept to point
out some of the phony statements
issued by candidates.
Take for instance, Jack Hardy,
COP candidate for Congress in
Helen Gahagan Douglass old dis
trict in Los Angeles. His campaign
literature features pictures of him
self and wife with his three child
rem. The picture even names the
children "Tertie, Margaret and
Charles" and quotes them saying
I'VE live with Jack Hardy and
know what kind of person he is
at home. We know he is a profess
sional man, not a professional poll
tician."
The three Hardy children, whom
the COP candidate thus features
in his literature look to be around
the ages of IL to IA. However, the
interesting thing is that candidate
Hardy married his wife only last
May and Tertie, Margaret and
Charlie are not his children. They
are the children of his present
wife, Georgia Sibley, by a former
marriage.
Furthermore, the only child of his
own which candidate Hardy ever
had was the daughter of actress
Fay Helm, who divorced him five
years ago. At that time, Hardy re-
linguished all rights to custody OF
his baby, including even the right
OF visitation 1t was agreed how
ever, that he would contribute $35
a month to the bapys support.
However, even this mere pittance
was too much. He defaulted on
payments to the tune of $500 and,

FREE GOLD
10 FIGHT
INITIATION
Mining Men Awaiting Fed
eraI Policy Toward Min
ing Under Act, Bradley

Gold mining men believe that
the best weapon against runaway
imitation is return to the gold STAN
dard,' Phil Bradley Jr., told a Ju-
neau Chamber of Commerce meet
ing this noon at the Baranof Hotel.
For years mining men have
tried to free gold and have it placed
on the markets of the world where
it would find its true level and give
this country stable currency
he said. He stated that Canada had
recently removed controls on cur
rency and have gone back to gain
ing public confidence by foresight
instead of management.
Statistics
Bradley gave some interesting APP
proximate statistics on the Alaska
Juneau mine. 1t has produced $751;
O00,000 worth of gold, 88,500,000
tens Of ore, and paid out $4,000, 600
in wages. He pointed out that every
dollar paid in wages in a mining
community created from 81 to SO
in business for that community. On
that basis the Al mine created
$200,0C0,000 in business for Ju-
neau during the period of its OPP
GRAFTON. He pointed out that this
could not return until the price
of gold goes up to its true level.
When gold was raised to $35 an
ounce in 1884 it merely restored
gold mining to its position il. 1913, -
he said. "A check and comparison
of percentage of profit at the
Treadwell mine in 1912 and 1884
showed that there was no differ
ence."
INITIATION DISHONEST
Initiation hurts everyone. 1t is
dishonest In 1918 the gold dollar
was worth 100 cents; in 1884 it
was worth SO cents; in 1889 had
dropped to SO cents; in 1910 it was
down to SO cents and today the
1913 gold dollar is only worth 20
cents. Gold cannot be mined on
thRt basis. In order to make gold
dollar worth a dollar today the

Iron Lung Is Rushed
7oGnIm 81 Minutes
By District Fren1en

An iron lung stood close by the
room of a 13-year-old girl patient
at George Washington University
Hospital today as a result of a
near record mobilization of emer-
gency squad f1remen last night.
The hospitals sole iron lung was
occupied last night when the girl
was brought in with polio symp-
toms. Doctors, aware that the
young patient might have to be
placed in the respirator at a mo-
ment'S notice, asked the Fire De-
partment for help.
Deputy Fire Chief Millard H
Sutton rounded up nine firemen
and dispatched them to Gallinger
Hospital. There they picked up a
spare respirator and rushed it
across the city. The bulky machine
was in the girls room 81 minutes
after the hospital called for as
sistance.
The girls ailment had not been
diagnosed definitely this morning
and the respirator had not been
used.

Tuna Fish Sex Life
Problem Related
House Group

The sex life of the tuna fish Is
an international problem that
needs the immediate attention OF
a commission of scientific experts
the House Rules Committee was
told yesterday.
The scientific folks know all
about the birds and bees, but they
are deficient in the lore of the
tuna. This puts the multi million
dollar tuna fishing industry at a
great disadvantage, Chairman
Kee, of the House Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, explained.
Chairman Cox, Democrat, OF
Georgia, was not impressed be-
cause no one studies the romances
of tuna.
Fish do pretty we'll in that re-
spect," he quipped.
That did it. The committee
postponed action on the tuna fish
study bill.

H-Bomb Rodiooctivity Provides
Food for Fantastic Speculation

thickness is three or four feet close
to an A-bomb.
One speculation is how many
H-bombs would cover the face of
the earth with dangerous amounts
of radioactive dust. The only
measuring rod is the book "Ef-
fects of Atomic Weapons" pub
liShed this month. That report
says it would take a million A
bombs to cover the earth. And
they must be exploded within a
comparatively brief time.
More Efficient As "Duster."
For the purpose of busting the
whole earth with radioactivity the
H-bomb is much more efficient
than an A-bomb. if an a9gresSor
chooses this fantastic goal. H
bomb covers can be made of metals
specially susceptible to becoming
radioactive in the explosion.
The metal specifically men
toned for this purpose is cobalt.
Cobalt made radioactive in atomic
reactors already is replacing ra-
dium for cancer treatment. Its
gamma rays are more powerful
than those of radium. There is
no question that a few thousand
H-bombs formed in this manner
would cause radioactivity troubles
everywhere.
Another speculation is to make
the bomb case of materials that
will become radioactive and drop
out of the atmosphere in the first
few thousand miles after the ex-
plosion. These particles would
travel from west to east. Thus II
is predicted that nation the size
of either Russia or the United
States can be sown with radio
active drgaon's teeth.
To attack the United States a
string of suitably made H-bombs
would be set off from craft in the
Pacific Ocean. The prevailing
winds of the upper air would
NoALy OAlCIA all Ooo CLlC OIl1UCu
States in a few days. For attack
ing Russia a chain of similar
bombs would be set on a north
south line in mid-E Europe.
All this is theory. The theor-
lists do not even know what
weather conditions, if any, would
make a scorched earth attack pos
Sible.
H-bomb radioactive risks seem
largely confined to those areas in
which the majority of persons ex-
posed to the rays already will have
died or be dying from blast and
burns.
There is one use for which H
bombs seem super weapons,
namely sneak attacks. This will
be explained tomorrow.
