OF ACADEMY into
ARMS OF BRIDE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 16-R-
Ex-midshipman Dave Bannerman,
five months. short of an Ensign's
stripe, walked out of the shadow of
the Naval Academy today and into
the arms of his pretty young bride.
Dave didn't leave of his own ac-
cord. The husky football star who
couldn't be stopped by the Army
football team was tripped up by a
paragraph.
That paragraph, in Navy regula-
lions, states simply that midship-
man found to be married shall be
recommended for discharge"
The news leaked out this week
that Bannerman and Monette J.
CLANCY, daughter of an Annapolis
professor. were married last Satur-
day in Frederick, Md.
The Academy took official cog
nizance of the report and investi-
gated. The necessary steps, for the
automatic dismissal were taken by
the office of Vice Adm. Harry W.
Hill, Academy superintendent.

PLAN GIVEN
BY TRUMAN
President Maps Out Pro-
posdI for Preserving
Freedom Aims Of Nation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 - ZAP -
An hour of grave danger" con-
fronts the nation. President Truman
told the American people last night.
He outlined this four-point plan
as one to help preserve freedom:
l. This country will uphold and
defend with arms, if necessary. the
principles of the United Nations.
The US. believes in settling dis
putes by peaceful means, the Presi-
dent said, but cannot yield to ag-
gression; will not engage in APP
peasement.
Korean Situation
If negotiations are possible, the
US. will try for settlement to
make Korea united. independent
and Democratic country.
2. The United States will continue
to work with other free nations to
strengthen joint defenses.
BY working together, the Presi-
dent said, free nations can offer a
common front. backed by strength,
and that is necessary If America is
to be in position to negotiate
successfully with the Kremlin for
peaceful settlements.
Military Power
3. The Armed Forces of the
United States will be built up. The
us. will make more weapons for
itself and its allies. Mr.. Truman
said expansion of American mill
tary power is going ahead very
rapidly.
The country will expand training
and production facilities to make
possible very quick expansion to
full mobilization if that becomes
necessary.
Economy Expanded
4. Mr.. Truman said the economy
will be expanded. too, and kept
on an even keel. This. he said
means very high production tar
gets and the willingness to make
an about effort to reach them.
He said the defense effort would
push prices up unless positive action
is taken to keep them down. Fur
ther taxes will be needed and nom
military expenditures must be cut
to the bone.
The government. said the Presi-
dent, Is starting to impose price
controls at once on some materials
and products and will also under
take to stabilize wage controls in
The same fields, as the law requires.

United Nations forces abandoned
Hamburg today and pulled their
northeast Korea beachhead into a
tight semi-circle ringing Hungnam,
port of the Sea of Japan six miles
southeast of Hamhung.
The Allied defenders stood off
furious Red Chinese assaults, de-
scribed as "sea wave" attacks,
against their shrinking toehold. The
Reds blew bugles and whistles as
they struck ferociously in great
numbers.
Terror and destruction were APP

10th Corps pulled out of Hamhung
into. the crescent-shaped perimeter
around Hungnam. The dull thunder
OF demolition charges was accom-
panied by huge smoke plumes as the
strategic heart of Hamburg was
blown up by army engineers.
Army staff officers said the big

knock out the 10th Corps may come

Doughboys fought off the Com
munist probing thrusts to find a
weak spot. the Nays big guns Off

along coastal roads converging on
Hungnam.
The warships moved up and down
the coast, hurting steel at the
enemy. Carrier based warplanes
buzzed out in murky weather and
hit front waves of $4,000 Chinese
massed against the beachhead.
A 10th Corps spokesman said the

ton as mot disastrous" Army en-

PLANS UNDERWAY
FOR CONSTRUCTION
new GRADE SCHOOL

Juneau will have new grade
school building next year, despite
the fact that the General Services
Administration has advised the
School Board that funds from its
program will definitely not be
available until the 1852 fiscal year,
if then. This is disclosed by Sterl-
ing Sears, Superintendent OF
Schools.
Sears said that at conference
with School Board members it has
been decided that although the
original estimates must necessarily
be curtailed for lack Of sufficient
funds, plans are now underway for
the construction of a new school
building to provide classrooms and
an assembly room on the recently
purchased site near the end of
Twelfth Street and Glacier High
way.
Funds From Bond Issue
The new grade school building
will be financed by funds from the
$75O,OOO bond issue authorized by
taxpayers of the Juneau Indepen-
dent School District in the city
general election last spring. OF this
amount S150,OOO has already been
expended for the purchase Of the
property and for a fill and readying
of the site for the construction
work. The Independent School Dis
trict recently acquired clear title to
the property.
Sears said he is assured there Will
be no difficulty in disposing OF the
rest of the bonds.
The local architect firm of NAL
colin, Foss 81 Olsen has been asked
to draw up plans for the building
and as soon as these are completed
about the end of January or in the
first part of February. bids for con-
struction win be let in order that
the work may start in the spring.
The new plans for the grade
school building provide for IA class
rooms and an assembly room.
The original plans, when it was
anticipated funds would be avail
able from the General Services Ad-
ministration provided for an ex-
penditure of 81 ,095, 248. The build
ing was to have provided 10 class
rooms and a large auditorium and
gymnasium combined, to include a
stage and all stage equipment and
furnishings.
