GOLD MEDAL
 TOURNEY 10
 END TONIGHT
Peculiar Situation Exists for Final Game-AWards
 to Be Made

The Fourth Gold Medal Basket ball Tournament of Southeast Alaska, sponsored by the Lions, will come to an end tonight in the High School Gym after a week long play.
 The first game, sort of a curtain raiser, will be called at 8 o'clock and will see the Metlakatla Vets p.tted against Mikes Mite Owls.
 The big game of the night, how ever, will be Sitka ANB vs Ketchi- kan for championship and run nerup.
 When the, team managers and the Lions Club Tournament Committee met to draw places last Monday morning, it was unanimously de- cided that the winner of the last game would be declared Champions.
 If Ketchikan A wins tonight, they will be giving the Sitka ANB team a taste of the same medicine that team gave to the Metlakatla Vets in the l949 Tournament.
 Fans will recall that Metlakatla beat Sitka at the beginning of the 1949 Tournament, placing the lat ter in the losers bracket. Sitka then went on to win every game after that while Metlakatla was doing the same in the winners bracket.
 The final game saw Sitka the Win- ner of the Tournament by beating Metlakatla, even though each team had only lost one game to each other. The same condition may de- velop tonight unless Sitka ANB wins.
 The team managers and the Tour nament Committee felt that since the Tournament officially ends to- night, there is no chance for play off if Ketchikan wins, and they must be declared Champions. The Tournament Committee points out that this was agreed upon before the first game.
 Following the final game tonight the usual awards will be announced by Harry Sperling.

British Voice Concern
On Atrocities Against
American Prisoners
BY the Assoeiaied Press

LONDON. July 13.-The British
Foreign Office expressed concern
today over reports of atrocities
against American war prisoners
in Korea.
A spokesman told a news con-
ference that America has informed
the British government of steps
being taken to deal with such
incidents.
1--WE hope these steps will reduce
their number or end them COM
lpletely," he said.
The spokesman observed that
neither North or South Korea
signed the Geneva Convention
laying down rules of war.
British newspapers gave smash
play to atrocity pictures from the
battlefront.

ShinwelPs statement in the House
of Commons yesterday that he is
mot at all complacent over the
nations preparedness.
There is still a great deal to be
done," Mr.. Shinwell said in reply
to questions in the House of Com
mons.
Mr.. shinwell's declaration ap-
peared to attract no great notice
among the British public, who
have seemed worried, but not
alarmed by the Korean war and
speculation that it might spread.
The Daily Telegraph, the Daily
Mail and Lord Beaverbrook's en-
pire-minded Daily Express, how
ever, demanded more strength at
once for the nation and empire.
To Avoid Ground Combat.
Government sources reported
yesterday that Britain will try to
stay out Of the ground fighting in
Korea as long as she can.
The governments view was said
to be that Britain already is max
ing a big contribution to Western
security in the Far East. by hold
ing the Malayan and Hong Kong
sectors Of the Western line in
Asia.
Britain, they said, has neither
offered nor been asked by the
United States to send ground
forces to Korea.

be reviewed, of course, If an Amer
lean request did come along.

Nation Lacks Sense
|0f Urgency Required
BY Times, Dulles Says
By Blair MOODY


John Foster Dulles, Republican
statesman, warned the Nation to-
day that far greater sense of
urgency and sharper sacrifices
will be required if the threat of
engulfment by world communism
is to be beaten back.
II don't believe many people
are even yet fully aroused to our.
danger" said the special assistant
to Secretary of State Acheson,
on the eve of the United Nations
General Assembly. bringing many
foreign ministers to New York.
which he described as likely to
be one of the most decisive in
ternational gatherings In the his
tory of mankind.
I f'Today's question:" he added,
sis whether it is within the capac-
| ity of a democracy to steam itself
up and really make an about
effort short of a Pearl Harbor..
Sees Parallel in Others. s.
"Our whole future may depend
on our getting behind the drive
to build our strength with the
same sort of desperate urgency we
had after the Japs hit us in
1941."
Mr.. Dulles, a veteran chess play
er, recalled that In college matches
where no checkmate was obtained
after number of hours. an ex-
pert judge sized up the positions
Of the rival players and decided
who, on strength of position. was
the winner.
t'If an expert should suddenly
come down from Mars and ana
lyze our position and our poten-
tial enemy's today he would Ger
tainly declare Russia the victor"
Mr.. Dulles commented.
THE safety and liberty Of the
American Nation and the rest of
the world rest on our reversing
that situation without delay. We
need the tremendous drive and
patriotism that the American
people always come up with when
they realize their country and
their liberty are endangered. So
far, we haven't got it.
Mr.. Dulles said the Russians
may hit us with "a Pearl Harbor"
eventually, but their clever game
at the moment is to keep us off
balance and wishfully hoping
everything will be all right, so
we will waste these precious cru
cial months now while they
strengthen their ornaments at a
much faster pace.
Notes Pacifist Mail.
"The country naturally has
been excited about Korea" Mr..
Dulles said, "but the deadly COM
plex is growing which tends to
treat it as one-alarm fire, figure
it will cost too much to make our
selves strong enough to meet the
real threat, and miss the actual
situation.
"All sorts of dangerously de-
luded mail is coming in, paciflst
mail. Why not let Nehru fix up
some sort of appeasement which
would end the situation in Korea?
Why spend all this on arms when
the Russian people just could
not want war. Many well-inten-
toned people are judging the men
in the Kremlin by their own good
selves.
Russia has been turning cut
tanks, planes and artillery at a
terrific rate. Now that we are
starting, they are STEPPING up their
production. Why?
There is no adequate answer
except that they are getting ready
to take us If they can. The only
way we can see to it they can't is
to make ourselves strong enough,
quickly enough. and that is going
to take a greater drive, and great
er unity, both here and in free
Europe, than has yet been evi-
dent"
