IA Weeks TRAINING.
FOR DRAFTEES;; &c!
MANY FOR OVERSEAS

WASHINGTON, July II - ZAP =
The Army said today that draft
ees will be given IA weeks of train
ing and then be assigned first to
posts within the United States.
Later, some will go overseas but
a spokesman said the number going
over will not be large or happen
soon"
The spokesman also said that if
the first call for 10000 draftees
has the indirect result of bringing
in large numbers of volunteers a
second draft call may not be needed
to bring the Army up to its pres
ent ceiling of $4,000. However, ne
did not discount the possibility
that the ceiling might be raised.
There will be no numbers drawing
for the draft. The birth date is
the big factor in determining which
men will be called for duty.

BOND OF BRIDGES
MAY BE REVOKED;
Then GOES TO JAIL

WASHINGTON, July IL - R -
A Senate judiciary subcommittee
was set up today to look into the
possibility of having Harry Bridges
S25, 900 bond revoked. That would
mean the West Coast labor leader
would have to go to jail
Bridges, a native of Australia,
was convicted and given five
year prison sentence in April on a
charge of lying about Communist
connections when he applied sor
US. citizenship. A Federal court
in San Francisco has ordered his
citizenship cancelled.
The citizenship proceeding was
held up however, pending an APP
peal by the CLIO longshoreman's
chief from the perjury conviction.
Creation of the Senate subcom-
mittee came in the wake of reports
that Bridges has opposed resolu-
ton by West Coast longshoremen
to condemn the Communist invas-
ion of South Korea. A union meet
ing to consider the resolution broke
up in fight.
The judiciary subcommittee eX-
poets to meet with Attorney Gen
eral McGrath and McGrath's as
sistant, Peyton Ford, in an effort to
get them to testify tomorrow on
Bridges case.

Bartlett said Senate majority
leader Lucas (D-Ill) assured him

BRISTOL BAY SPARKS
up SALMON PACK
s. {. AREA IS SHORT

After getting off to a wobbly
start. Bristol Bay is off to the RACES
this season, with the pack of red
salmon almost $4,000 cases ahead OF
last year for the week ending July
8, according to figures released to-
day by the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice
The Bays total pack for the
week, including few thousand
cases of kings and 1874 cases OF
chums, added up to 473,328 cases
compared to 428,831 in 1949.
The Port Moller area in Western
Alaska, midway down the Alaska
Peninsula, came up with 1928
cases for the week, almost double
the 1949 pack of 6,258.
Southeast Alaska came to life
this week, but the pack fell far
short of the same period last year
So far 5,494 cases have been packed
most of these being red salmon
compared to 10,250 cases last year
at the same time.
The Copper river, after being
closed several weeks, is roaring
again with 74,914 cases put up, COM
pared to 1855 cases last year.
These figures should not be used
as basic comparative figures, be-
cause red salmon are five-year
fish. and as such, can not be COM
pared in consecutive years, accord
ing to Frank Hynes, fisheries super
visor for the service.
Total pack for the Territory for
the week is as follows:
Reds, 706,047; Kings. 44,471
Pinks, 1871; Chums. 50,007; Co.
hoes, 1888. Grand total is 1894
cases, compared to 676,909 last year
for the same week.

THREE MORE DAYS
And KING WOULD
HAVE SET RECORD

An Alaska king salmon could
have broken record if it had kept
swimming south for three more
daN.
AS it was, the king made 900 miles
in "a days, a better per-day rate
than the reco-d-holder. The record
is 1000 miles in 80 days. according
to the Alaska Department of Fish
cries.
Tagged and released in the Cross
Sound Area by fisheries biologist
Robert r. Parker. the salmon was
recaptured in Sooke Harbor near
the south end of Vancouver Island.
1t was caught in one of the few
traps remaining in British Column
bia waters.
The king had averaged 81 and
one-half miles per day, or four miles
per day better than the salmon
holding the long-distance record,
during the southwark swim.
The tag from the fish was re-
turned to the Alaska Department OF
Fisheries here today
The salmon trek was measured
over the shortest distance along the
coast and not as a fish swims. Fish
cries department director C. L. An
derson said the fish probably took
some side trips and actually made
longer swim than the record
shows.

ROAD BUDGET cut
MAY STOP ALASKA
PAVING PROJECTS

The slice in Alaska road con-
|struction funds by the Senate APP
preparations committee may near
that projected paving work will
not be done this season, according
to A. F. Ghiglione, chief engineer
for the Alaska Road Commission.
The committee pared $1,516,786
from the $20,50O,000 budget SUBJ
mitted for the coming period.
Because of the odd figure, Chi
glione was puzzled as to what il
meant-whether it was an across
the board cut, or cut in some
specific figure. He talked to Wash
ington this morning, but could learn
nothing specific from there, ne
said.
Because the House figure doesn't
agree with that of the Senate, a
joint conference will be held, anG
a figure arrived at before anything
definite is arrived at. But con-
struction will not be hindered
Ghiglione said.
The road into Mt. Mckinley Ma
tional Park is progressing rapidly
with crews favored by a good sea-
son, he said From Cantwell on
the west, the road has grown some
six or eight miles, and from the
Richardson Highway it has made
more miles than that.
Work is planned SO that in sew
eral years the road will meet near
Oenali at a bridge to be construc-
ted over the Susitna River
He believes that by the end of
The year the road will be some sc
miles in length from both ends
leaving only about 80 miles to go
is completion will see tremend-
Jus increase in Park traffic.
One park executive who came
through Juneau some time ago es-
imated that persons visiting the
park would increase to 10000 yearly
compared to some 5000 at the pres
ent time, once the road is COM
)leted

Alaska Line Tries
To Influence Jury"
Is Charge Made

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 12-
I'D. E. SINNERS blast at Gov
ernor Gruening in connection with
the recent Federal Grand Jury in
dictment of the Alaska Steamship
Company brought a sharp retort
from a Democratic legislator at a
Chamber of Commerce meeting
here yesterday.
Skinner, the firms vice president
and general manager, repeated his
denials of the indictments Mono
poly charges. Then he branded the
indictment as the elimination of a
long and vitriolic attack" aimed
at the company by Governor Gruen-
ing.
(The Governor has denied any
connection with the indictments
and said Skinner was over esti-
mating his influence)
Rep. Warren Taylor, Fairbanks
attorney who was guest at the
meeting. took exception to Skin
ner'S remarks.
He charged the steamship COM
pany was waging political cam
paign" against the Governor and
was attempting ito influence pros
pective jurors" He said the firms
advertising and SINNERS speeches
impugned the integrity of the courts
and constituted a personal attack
on government officials.
Skinner labeled the indictment
charges as the same old chestnuts
Governor Gruening has been pokine
into the fire for years"
He said every inquiry by federal
body has resulted in a finding that
accusations against the company
were rot justified.

Call Up Guard,
Asks Senator;
A-Bon1b Urged

WASHINGTON, July IL = Up -
Senator Lyndon johnson D-Tex)
today urged calling all National
Guard units and organized paid
military reserves to active duty i'm
mediately.
He estimated this would provide
1892, O28 additional men for the
Army, Navy. Air Corps and Marines.
The recommendation was part OF
what Johnson called minimum
program for the defense of the ma
ton.
The Armed Services Committee
member told the Senate that never
before has the United States been
in such grave peril as it is at this
moment"
Johnson said the fighting in Ko-
rea has demonstrated that the ma
ton is seriously outnumbered by its
enemies. He said American troops
are being sent to battle with one
arm tied behind their backs"
Our Army divisions simply DC
not have the number of battalions
they need to function efficiently
and economically in combat" he
said.
Johnson's proposals reflected in
creasing concern in Congress over
the Korean conflict and the posi-
bility that it might turn into long
and perhaps greater war.
On the other side of the Capitol
the House applauded a proposal by
Rep. Bentsen D-Tex) that Pr.s'-
dent Truman warn North Korean
forces either to withdraw from
South Korea or the atom bomb
would be dropped on North Korean
cities.
Bentsen, a World War II veteran,
said he offered this as possible
way to end the Korean fighting and
prevent general world war.

Pickets were posted at all con-
struction jobs in Juneau except
the Mendenhall Apartment project,
according to T. B. Erickson, eXecu-
tive secretary of the Alaska Fed
Grafton of Labor and spokesman for
the laborers' union.
The action came after indepen-
dent contractors had thrown in
their lot with the association in
presenting an offer to the union
late yesterday.
The contractors offered $185 per
hour, five cents per hour less than
is paid in the Pacific Northwest,
Erickson said.
The laborers' union is seeking re-
cognition of a contract already &C.
cepted in Haines, Skagway, Peters
burg and Ketchikan.
Only two local independent con-
tractors have signed with the union
so far, Erickson said
Meanwhile, the striking teamsters'
union, local 10, also received an Of
fer from the contractors associa-
ion. But the transfers said today
hey do not want the terms offered
those in the 1947 contract, plus
raise which docs not bring the
wage scale up to existing standards. F"
