program to pacify it's listening audience collectively and not in- dividually.
 Ordinarily, a radio station re- quires a large staff to keep it in operation seven days a week, fif- ty-two weeks year. Actually, only four persons are behind the mike at AFRS. Headed by Station manager Cpl. Phil Ofsonka, the staff is composed by Cpl. Ed Mon chan, administrative assistant, and Cpls. Joseph O'Donnell and Robert Malloy, alternate record librarians and announcers. These personnel are on the job from 700 am. to HOO pm. daily, giving out with the cream of the national network shows, which, after add ing their own productions and mixing well, spells the best in the radio entertainment world.
 The setting up and developing of this station is accredited to S/Sgt. Johnnie Mock, who as head of the station for two years, and whose experience in radio made the station what it is today.

Plumbers Sore At Not Getting Bid To Meeting
Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One)
 Ching Friday scheduled an Aug. IS meeting in Seattle. Invited were representatives of the AFL plumbers union, Local 367, and of eight contractors working on Alaska defense projects. They will huddle with a panel of three con- ciliators.
 Plumbers in the Anchorage To- cal have been on strike since July 26, seeking a wage increase of 50 cents an hour. Present rates are $3 an hour within the city and $2.50 an hour with room and board outside Anchorage.
 Master plumbers, representing the plumbing shop owners, ticked off handful of objections in their telegrams. They said:
 1. The Seattle meeting may set wage scales for plumbers that will have to be paid by residents of the Territory "from now on" and can very we'll "sound the death knell for all private building and industry in Alaska"
 2. If the plumbers gain wage increase, the way is open for ev- cry other building trade to get the same raise. GA spokesman added that "there just isn't any end to htis vicious circle; it has got to stop somewhere.
 3. As representative Alaskans, they resent "this intrusion by Washington bureaucrats trying to run our affairs by remote control from offices outside the Territo-

ST. LOUIS, P)-Residents of St. Louis, the nations eighth larg- est city, had no bus or streetcar service Saturday.
 The state-seized public transit system was forced to discontinue operation Friday night because of a wildcat strike by union opera tors seeking higher wages.
 Ironically, the strike was start ed despite use of state law pass ed three years ago to prevent dis ruption of public utility services.
 It also was staged in defiance of Gov. Forrest Smith and leaders of the union, an AFL street and railway motor coach unit, repre- senting some 5000 workers.
 The tie-up paralyzed the city.

AFRS Largest In Alaska; NOmeites Chief Listeners

Continued from Page One) privileged to listen to the national network programs, which were relayed from the States by inter posing stations at Anchorage. Un- der there circumstances reception was intermittent and frequently inaudible. But not Nomeites are always confident of a pleasant evening at home beside their ra- dio, because they are convinced of the absolute dependibility of AFRS to provide them with the best in the radio entertainment world.
 Surprisingly, a goodly number of the people who constitute ma D' portion of it's liStening-audi- ence are totally unfamiliar with the origin and method of opera ton of the Armed Forces Radio Station.
 What six months after Pearl Harbor was but a procOciOuS in- fant has grown into robust lad .. the Armed Forces Radio Serv- ice. With offices at coastal key points throughout the United States, the AFRS is the support ing backbone of thousands of far flung radio stations the world o!er. From these strategically To- cated offices, AFRS transmits countless recordings to numerous affiliated broadcasting stations throughout the country, which de- pend exclusively on this vast or ganization for transcribed pro- grams which largely compose their daily broadcasts.
 Shortly after the establishment of AFRS, military sanction was granted for the construction and operation of an affiliated station at Marks, now celebrating it's eighth anniversary, which has since provided the Nome area, previously inaccessible to a radio station, with countless hours of pleasurable, instructive and whole

some entertainment. Until its re- cent redesignation as AFRS, the station was known as WXLN, and is now recognized as the largest most complete military broadcast ing station in Alaska.
 Featuring vast number of di- versified programs, the offerings of the Armed Forces Radio Sta ton at Marks are selected with the utmost care. Unlike other mil itary radio stations, the staff of AIRS is guided in it's selections by unique listening-audience. It caters both to the military person mel of the base and the residents of Nome. Incidentally, the latter constitute major percentage of it's listening audience.
 Under the circuit circulation system, continuous influx of new current programs are available to AFRS listeners. Recordings of new programs are dispatched from Los Angeles to Eielson AFB, from there to Marks AFB, then to Galena and finally back to Los Angeles where they are slowed for future use.
 Of the several locally produced programs, one has received re- markedly outstanding response in Nome. "Turn Table Time," broad cast daily at 7:O0-8:0O pm, is definitely the favorite musical program with "Name It For A Song" holding second place.
 The resources of AFRS include a collection of recordings incap- able of defiance by the most dis eliminating taste. Satisfactorily, in this largest record library in the Alaskan Theater there are 15,0O0 popular and 900 philharmonic re- cordings. In addition there is a bulging file replete with religious, western, hillbilly and miscellan- eous recordings.
 Although the preference for popular music is ascendant, hill billy and western numbers are continually being revived by a mil nority of listeners. Regardless of the requests, the staff strives to combine selection of every type of music in preparing the days

 4. They insist that Ching invite them to participate in the Seattle meeting, but "propose to have their representative present in any event."
 In an earlier message to the conciliation service director they demanded that the session be transferred to Anchorage.
 Ching Friday appealed to the "good citizenship" of labor and management to settle the wage dispute and not embarrass their country.

PHILADELPHIA, April 28.-The

In the goth annual exhibition of

The Times thus retained the
cup it won last year in the con-
test sponsored by N. w. Aver &

A total of 841 English Language
daily newspapers in the United
States submitted entries.
The three judges - Raymond

and poster designer-said: THE

Mr.. Loewy, who designed the
present Studebaker automobile,
said he never judged a typogra-
ply contest before. Neither did
Mr.. Kauffer.
Both told a newsman, however,
that they hoped, as judges, Ito
; influence new experiments in
newspaper makeup"
Many newspapers Today use
conflicting kinds of type faces
which compete with each other" +"
Mr.. Loewy said. There should
be a certain harmony between the
type faces. I don't see why one
story should compete with an
other story. That's not the pur-
pose of a newspaper"
Mr.. Loewy. after lauding the
New York Times for It's we'll

ment" of news, pictures and
stories, said he especially liked
the appearance Of the Paris QllD
Beacon News which was awarded
first honorable mention among
papers of less than 10000 circula-
ton.
Trend Toward Lower Case.
This paper was very fresh,
very different" Mr.. Loewy said.
THE paper was shorter in iergth
than the average newspaper but
larger than the tabloid. It has
good balance, handles easily"
Mr.. Sherman, speaking from
the printers viewpoint, noted
there is a definite trend to upper
and lower case headings with
very few all cap lines except in
banner heads. The trend, too,
continues to be more and more
toward f1ush-left headlines"
He added, however, that most
newspapers today are badly
crowded with very little white
space showing off heads. Also
there are not as many photo
graphs on Page One as there
should be, and those that are
used are placed badly, unbalanc-

 The New York Times says Bri- tain, Canada, Australia, Norway and the Philippines agreed on the text of the resolution, and that it gives no specific authorization to the U. N. troops to cross the 3Sth parallel. However, it is said to give tacit consent.
 President Truman is reported to have told his administration there must not be any letup in American defense preparations even though the Korean war is coming to a victorious end The people, the President says, must be kept constantly alert to the continuing danger of war.
 The United States apparently is planning to have an army of near ly 100000 men by next March. The House armed services com mittee is at work on changes in the draft law needed to up the army figure.

Robert LOvett To Become Deputy Secy. Of Defense

WASHINGTON, (P) - Former undersecretary of State Robert A. Lovett was picked by President Truman yesterday to be deputary secretary of defense.
 He succeeds Stephen T. Early, who is leaving the defense post tomorrow to return to private business.
 Lovett is a close friend of Sec retary of Defense Marshall, under whom he served as undersecre- tary of state. He is now in the in- vestment banking business in New York with Brown Brothers, Harri- man and CO.
 MT. Truman telephoned Lovett at his home at Lucust Valley, N. Y., offered him the appointment and got prompt acceptance.
 It had been expected from the time MT. Truman named Gen. Marshall as defense secretary, af- ter the resignation of Louis A. Johnson, that Marshall would call upon Lovett to serve under him.
 Since Congress is not in session, Lovett will be given a recess ap- pointment. The appointment later will be subject to Senate confirm ation.

Ezzard New Heavy, Weight Champ;
 OutpOints Louis

 The British recognize Lee Sa- void of Paterson, N. J., as their champ. He may be next on the list for Charles.
 "I'd like to fight Savold or any body" said Charles. /. Louis was the popular favorite as we'll as the 5 to 815 betting choice Wednesday night. But at the end, everybody had new re- spect for Charles.
 This was no awed youngster in there with Louis. Sure he was fighting his old idol and friend. But he came out punching.
 Hooking to the body, throwing a right hand to the head, Ezzy completely outboxed Louis. Joe plodded straight ahead in his usu- al style but when he caught Charles he couldn't put over the old equalizer.
 Throwing hard body punches and moving in close before Louis could counter was the Charles victory pattern. It was fool-proof. When he chose to hit and run, his goingaway punches were more effective than Louis WhiStling right hands into the air. The way he moved on top of LOui s would never suspect he was the man giving away 3312 pounds.
 Ezzard was in trouble twice, in the fourth and 10th. A left-right to the head buckled his knees in the fourth but he came back strong at the bell. Louis had his enc big chance in the 10th when he shook up Charles with a short right to the head and chased him the rest of the round. He never could set him up.
 Charles got the short end of the purse, about $57, ,405, counting his slice of the $14O,O00 radio and television cash.
 Louis, who said he made his comeback to get money to pay in- come tax debts, will receive about $10O,458 for his share of the fight and radio money.
