Facts About YOUR National Guard

It was on August 16, 1924, that the name "National Guard" first was applied to a State militia. On that date, New York units took the title National Guard" in compliment to Lafayette, who was visiting the United States. Lafay- cite had commanded the National Guard in Paris in 1789; by 1896 only three States retained the word militia" in their official designa tions, and "National Guard" was practically universal. However, the change in name did not change the essential character of the Guard as a Stateorganiza- ton.
 Elihu Root instituted general program to reorganize the mili- tary establishment after the Span ish American war, and part of

Senators Cratified With Defenses
 In Alaska

JUNEAU, (P) - Three United States Senators here expressed qualification with Alaskan mill tary defenses and pledged further efforts to keep the northern from tier strong.
 The Senators, members of the Senate armed services sub-com- mittee, conducted a hearing here Friday on proposals to enlarge the Juneau airport. They flew from Juneau to Portland, Ore.
 Sen. Lester Hunt O.-Wyo0 said "We will carry home report to Congress which will emphasize the need for adequate defenses in Alaska for closer understanding on the civilian front" Republican Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts remarked that "As a New Englander, I know what security to Alaska means to the Atlantic coast"
 Oregon's Wayne Morse, a Re- publican expressed Great confi- dence in American military es- tablishments in Alaska" especial ly after noting their proximity to Russian territory.
 Our armed forces working un- de1 great handicaps, are doing a magnificent job that every Amer icar should offer prayer of thsrks for," the Oregon Senator said.
 However, the American people should also recognize the great contribution of the Alaskan peo- pie to Americas security and de- fense. They should appreciate the inherent right of Alaskans to vot- ing representation in Congress. Statehood for Alaska is vital to American defense, it is necessary to demonstrate to the people of the world that we practice our principle sof self-government.

Red Koreans
 Machinegun U. s. Prisoners of War
(By Don Whitehead

SUNCHON, North Korea, (P- Survivors of the Sunchon tunnel massacre were saved because a brigadier general dared to push into communist territory to check a report that American prisoners of war had been killed by North Korean, Reds.
 At least 69 American prisoners were slain by their Red guards Friday night near the Sunchon railway tunnel, 10 miles north of heer. They had been led from a train into nearby fields under the pretext that they were being taken to supper.
 The guards macnlnegun n e d them. Sixty-six prisoners died on the spot. Two others died during the night of their wounds. Atleast 21, many of them wounded, lived through the hour-long massacre.
 Had Brig. Gen. Frank A. Allen of Cleevland, Ohio, not been so persistent many of the wounded undoubtedly would not have sur vived the bitterly cold night.
 This is the way the atrocity was discovered:
 As assistant divisional com- mander of the U. s. First Cavalry Division, Allen decided Saturday to drive by jeep from Pyongyang to Sunchon to check on the prog

Greater Alaska Is EnvisiOned Bv Noted Scientist
Uuneau Empire)


 Despite "colossal problems" of health, education and industry, a Greater Alaska" to surpass any other region on earth is envision- ed by a distinguished scientist of wide Arctic experiences.
 Now on his tenth visit to the Territory, Dr. Victor E. Levine says he is more "sold" every trip. His research is in the field of com parative blood studies of Indian and Eskimo peoples.
 Dr. Levine's work this summer has been in Southeast Alaska.
 His Alaska medical and biolog- ical studies of the Eskimoes were made in the lower Yukon region from St. Michael and Nome, in 1884. on St. Lawrence and Little Diomede Islands and along main land coasts of the Boring Sea in 1885.
 Above all," Dr. Levine be- lieves, "Alaska is not fully awake to the possibilities of a much more extensive tourist trade. Surpris- ingly, Alaskans themselves do not realize to the fullest that Alaska is the beauty spot of the world. It is not Uncle Sam's Attic,' it is Uncle Sam's parlor-the land God we'll remembered.
 Alaska is ten time more pie turesque and more beautiful than the Alps. It is a country with a rugged and unique splendor, with it's ranges of mountains. its for ests, islands, glaciers and water ways, and it's skies frightened by the shimmering, glim m ri n g Northern Lights"

KOrean Situation At A Glance
Saturday. October 2l. 1850

Ody III IIlC OOliSliOii-O area, linked forces today with United States First Cavalrymen over the 30-mile stretch between Pyongyang, North Korean capital, and Sunchon.
 Gen. MacArthur's headquarters said the fast-moving paratroopers had sealed off 28,000 communist Koreans after cascading behind the enemy lines. The trapped Reds were nearly half of the estimated organized communist fighting force left north of the 38th par allel.
 All arteries of escape were blocked for the North Korean Reds in the Sunchon-Sukchon area, where the 4,200 U. s. air borne troops dropped out of the sky.
 The surprise maneuver left an estimated 63,00O com m u n i S t troops in North Korea unable to mass for any effective stand against on-rushing United Nations forces.
 A MacArthur spokesman said there was no sign of any organ ized defense line north of the present battle zone nor of any temporary capital for the all but defeated Red regime.
 Resistance in Pyongyang was petering out as American tanks crossed the Taedong and entered the fallen city.
 Gen. Macarthur said he was confident that the end of the fighting and a victory for the U. N. forces are near at hand.
 Five South Korean divisions were preparing to rush to the Manchurian border to cut off es- cape routes for the shattered re- maining Red forces, who were surrendering in droves.
 The airdrop, which sealed the fate of the Korean Reds was the first in the Korean conflict and one of the largest in the history of paratrooping.
 All reports, except from the Chinnampo area, west of Pyong- yang, indicated there was very little fight left in the Reds, though a few scattered bands of guerril- las were harassing the U. N. troops in isolated hill positions.
 There was no indication Gen. Macarthur planned to send for eign U. N. troops to the Manchur- ian border wher an incident might involve Russian or Chinese com munist troops.
 South Korean soldiers moving northward along the east coast, were 95 miles south of the Man churian border and still going.
 Communist atrocities spurred U. N. forces in their efforts to res cue thousands of U. N. prisoners seized during the four months of war. They were seeking particu- larly the remnants of a band of 2S3 Americans who were forced into death march from Seoul to Pyongyang.
 The air force continued it's 24- hour schedule but there were few targets north of the 38th parallel.

Home Chores Help Children Build
Habit of ShouIdering Responsibility
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Why make slaves out of your
own children? Mrs. S. is suspi-
cious of my ideas. you're con-
tinually harping on the fact that
children ought to have more work
to do," she complains. MY hus-
band and I both had to work
too hard when we were young,
and we want our children to have
fun. There will be plenty of time
for them to work when they grow
up"
Yes, Mrs. S., there will be plenty
of time for them to work-and
they may not be able to work,
because you will have brought
them up to suppose that some one
ought to do everything for them.
It's not actual work, so much
as acceptance of responsibility,
that they need as they grow up
but the two together. I agree
thoroughly with Psychologist
Catherine Cox Miles when she
says, There is nothing more i'm
portant we can do for children
than give them all the response
bility their shoulders can bear.
AS a result, in manhood, and
womanhood, whether they are
building a building. running a
farm or business, becoming presi-
dent of a club. leading COM
munity drive, editing a magazine,
inventing an engine. writing a
book or managing their marriage,
home and children, they will be
able to handle the responsibilities
of these jobs from sheer momen-
tum of habit"
Don't give your children any
more responsibility than their
shoulders can bear, Mrs. S. But
you might be surprised to find
that in many cases they can bear
as much as you can-sometimes
more-and think it is fun! Try
1t and see.
unfortunately, there are not zoo
many chores to be done in a city
home, But one of the most i'm
portant responsibilities in life,
and one many people never learn,
is to spend money effectively.
The result is that we have women,
heads of families, who can't man
age their own checkbooks, and col
lege professors, lecturing the pub
lie on economics, who have never
been able to buy even modest
homes for their own wives and
children.
Give the children a start in
that direction, Mrs. S. If you do
