There is a constant friendly cor
respondence between the regional
UNESCO committee and the teach

said.
FeIlowships Supported
Eight fellowships are supported by
eight Soroptimist regional groups.
Mrs. Macmillan said. The fellow
ships are granted to women of out
standing ability seeking advanced
university degrees in new directions.
The southwestern region, largest of
the club groups. supports two study
grants in addition to a fellowship
of $500. The North Atlantic region,
composed of ~ clubs and next large
regional groups, supports two $500
fellowships.
Chinese Students Aided
One of the Soroptimists' projects,
the Chinese Nursing Fund, has had
to have a new outlet due to Com
munist success in China. A work
of the Federation, the fund had been
been used for the Luchow hospital,
but, since the Communists took over,
Mrs. Macmillan said, there has been
no communication from the hos
pital. A balance in the fund of ST.
38546 has been unused and is now
transferred to a new Chinese Educa-
tional Grant to be used for the
assistance of a Chinese student or
students pursuing their education
in the United States or Canada.
A project of the American Fedora
ton of Soroptimist Clubs for the
1950-52 biennium will be the sup

 Kepner, as commander in chief of Alaska, works also with Rear Adm. Clifton A. F. Sprague, com mander of the Alaskan Sea From tier. They were together as dep- uty commander during Operation Crossroads, which tested the atomic bomb in the Pacific.
 His first statement treasured civilians that Alaska will be de- fended. Emphasizing that nothing can be gained by hysteria, he said:
 I was pleased with the calm re- action of civilians here to the ln- ternational situation, particularly how the women taken the devel- opments well and without uh- necessary alarm. I make point of talking to them, learning their feelings toward current news events and I find that Alaskans have responded admirably to the situation"
 Public reaction indicates un- questioned confidence in General Kepner's ability to provide the best defense for this far-flung Territory, which is vital frontier for the United States.

Pulp Mill Given Year To Qualify For Contract

WASHINGTON, P)-The for est Service said this Week it has given the Ketchikan Pulp and Pa per Co. until Aug. 2, 1851 to qual- ify under contract to buy 1,500,- 100000 cubic feet of Alaskan pulp timber.
 A preliminary award made to the company on Aug. 2,, 1948 re- quired it to meet certain qualifi- cations for final purchase.
 Lyle F. Watts, chief of the for est service, aid the date was ex- tended two years so the company will have time to build a su1phite pulpmill using the magnesium base process.
 The forest service wants the magnesium base process used to eliminate possibility that pulpmill waste materials might pollute ocean waters and damage the Alaskan fishing industry.
 The initial pulpmill, to be built at Ward Cove, Ketchikan, Alaska, will have daily capacity of 300 tons of pulp. The timber the com pany has agreed to buy from the government will supply pulp mill with a daily capacity of 525 tons for 50 years.

 Plumbing work on several large construction projects is being de- layed by the strike. These jobs in clude the Mckinley Manor apart ment, an addition to a hospital, an addition to the Eielson building at the University of Alaska, hous- ing projects in town and military defense projects at Ladd and Eiel- son air force bases.
 It was estimated yesterday that the 90 plumbers present at the Tuesday night meeting have lost S10,800 a week while on strike. This figure is based on a 40-hour week at the present rate of $3 an hour. It does not include over time, which probably would have boosted earnings to more than sl2,000.
 No meeting has been set for fur ther negotiations between con- tractors and the union. The con- tractors met again Wednesday,.
 FAIRBANKS, P-Deadlocked for more than a month in a dis pute over wages, members of the plumbers and steamfitters union and five contractors have agreed on an hourly wage of $50.
 Also granted by the employers was double time for work beyond 40 hours, except on Saturday, which calls for time-and-ahalf.
 The increase for work m n amounts to 50 cents an hour.

They feel that it will be hard to

this bill through the House on
final passage, with margin of
only two votes, by a personal ap-
peal rare to Speakers. 1t passed
the Senate also by narrow mar
gin. President Truman vetoed 1t
as contrary to consumer interests.
Issues Flare Up Again.
The issues involved flared up
again this week, as an aftermath,
when the Texas Speaker went to
the White House and demanded,
point blank, the immediate re-
nomination for another six-year
term to the FPC Of Nelson Lee
Smith, it's chairman until this
week, who had been for the Kerr
bill and whose reappointment Is
vigorously opposed by labor and
consumer groups.
According to reports, there was
a dramatic scene in the Pres
ident's office during which, it was
said, Mr.. Rayburn emphasized his
demands by humping his fist on
the Presidents desk and dropped
a hint that the President might
jeopardize his program in the
House.
Since the President vetoed the
Kerr bill, which was promoted by
oil interests that own natural gas
reserves in Texas, Oklahoma and
the Southwest. its proponents
have shifted their interest to the
FPC which regulates the natural
gas industry and have concen-
trated on efforts to keep Mr..
Smith, who shared their views, on
the commission which administers
the Natural Gas Act. Some Of
them previously had interceded
with the Presiden: on behalf Of
Mr.. Smith whose term expires
June %. but Mr.. Truman has de-
layed decision. Apparently
Speaker Rayburn got restive, and
decided on direct action.
Deal Seen on Wallgren.
Subsequently the President, in
carrying out the part Of the Gov
ernment reorganization program
affecting FPC, designated his old
friend, Mon c. Wallgren. former
Senator and former Governor of
Washington, whom he recently

Mr.. Wallgren is regarded as

ever, his appointment. combined
with Speaker Rayburn's visit to
the White House, aroused sus-
picion among those who were
against the Smith re-appoint-
ment. They interpreted the Wall
gren choice as chairman as a ges-
ture Of appeasement by the Presi-
dent that forecast the Smith
denomination.
Consequently they began to
bring pressure here and there.
Significantly, William Boyle, jr.,
chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. hurried to the
White House, purportedly on a
mission to prevent Mr.. Smiths
reappointment. Previously the
party chairman had interceded
with the President to veto the
Kerr bill.
