FIRE ASSOCIATION BUYS NEW TRUCK

A new one and one half ton Chevrolet truck will be added to the Fire Associations equipment, Al Hagen, president of the local Association said today.
 The truck will be equipped with a Royal Bean high pressure pump and a 400- gallon tank, MT. Hagen said. The pumps will be located directly behind the cab of the truck and will be enclosed for all weather operation. A heater will also be enclosed in the compart- ment which will house the high pressure hose and the pumps. The truck will be primarily used for rural fires, MT. Hagen said.
 The Fire Association voted to purchase a truck at it's regular meeting and called for quotations from local dealers on Tuesday of this week. A special meting was then called for Thursday night when the quotations on trucks were considered. The truck is now on order and should be de- livered within 90 days.
 The Fire Associations plan is to house the Dodge Darley truck, which is now being leased from the Alaska Railroad by the local Association, in the Coop area This truck has a 500-gallon-per- minute pump and also carries 1900 feet of two and one-half inch hose. It will be used primarily for town fires, MT. Hagen ex- plained. The Association is now operating three trucks.
 The Association is also working on plans for a Firemen's Ball as a money raising project to pay for the new Chevrolet truck. All local organizations will be in vited to assist in sponsoring the dance. Funds for the Associa- tion's operating expense are ob- tained from membership dues and projects sponsored by the Asso- citation to raise money for it's needs. ..= ..:.
 Last year the Fire Association answered 23 calls, of which l~ were to non-members and 10 to members, MT. Hagen said. The estimated structural damage was $19,80O on all calls answered in the Valley. Of this amount mem- bers of the Association only suf- fered a total loss of $400. All memberships are due on July l of this year but any one wishing to join now may secure a half years membership, the president explained.
 For a home the half-year mem bership fee would be only $5 and for a firm it would range from

Gen. Macarthur had driven the
North Koreans to the Yalu and
had victory within his grasp when

fore is to admit the success of the
Chinese aggressors.
The United States will be con-

for generations for the cost of the
conflict; and our troops will be
pinned down in South Korea in
definitely.
On the other hand, the North
Koreans will be able to resume
their aggression on any flimsy
pretext at any convenient oppor-
tunity, and the Russians having
utilized the entire conflict as
proving ground similar to Finland
and Spain can precipitate war
somewhere else in the world.

u. ). Move 10 Revoke
ChristoffeI's S Bail
Is Studied by Court

District Court Judge Burnita
Shelton Matthews today took un-
der adviSement a Government mo-
ton to revoke a $4,000 bond put
up in behalf of Harold r. Chris
toffel, pending appeal from q
perjury conviction.
Christoffel, former lebor leader
in Milwaukee, Wis, is under a
2-to-6-year perjury sentence fos
telling the House Labor Commit
tee in 1947 that he had never had
Communist affiliations.
He was convicted in February,
1850, and sentenced the following
month. In April. 1850, the Court
of Appeals admitted him to bail
which was put up in the form Of
United States Treasury bonds. He
has been free since.
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay argued today for revo-
cation of the bail on the con-
tention that the Civil Rights Con-
greSS. which he says put up the
bail, "is not a reliable or salts
factory agent to secure the at
tendance of Christoffel" at court.
Mr.. Fay noted that the bonds
had been turned over to the court
by Milton Wolff, whom Mr.. Fay
identified as assistant treasurer
for the Civil Rights Congress- bail
fund. Mr.. Fay pointed to the
disappearance of four Communists
convicted in New York under the
Smith Act. and at large under.
bond posted by the Civil Rights
Congress.
ChriStoffel's counsel, o.. John
Rogge, argued against revocation
Of bail on two principal points.
First. he said, District Court does
not have authority to revoke bond
permitted by the Court of Ap-
peals, and second, the Govern
ment stands no chance of loss
because the bail is in the form
Of Treasury bonds.
Judge Matthews did not say
when she would rule on the bail
motion. She indicated the ques-
tion of which court has jurisdic-
ton on the bond question is one
OF the matters to be considered.
