TWO ITEMS ALASkA
 INTEREST RECEIVED
 AT TERp. MUSEUM

Two items of interest have been received at the Territorial Museum this week and are now on display, an early day Russian cannon and from the Queen Charlotte Islands.
 The cannon came from Kodiak where it was purchased for the Mu- scum from the Erskine Estate last fall by Curator E. L. Keithahn. It is a 3-inch bore ship type brass cannon set in an oak mount. Placed on the Island during the Russian occupation of Alaska it stood in the yard in front of the Greek Orthodox Church and Kodiak's old- est residents recall it's being fired. on Holy Days. It was secured by Erskine for his collection of Alaska cures and for years stood in front Of Erskine Eoue.
 The clock was purchased in Los Angeles for the museum by Mrs Josephine White, formerly assistant to Keithahn. It is beautifully oarv- ed and ornamented with figures of bears. sea lions, whales and eagles.
 Keithahn said the clock is an 1891 model and he sets the date the carved frame was made at some time in the eighteen nineties. Keit- hahn learned of the clock from tourists who visited the museum last summer and who told them they had seen the article in curio shop in Los Angeles.

BOB ELLIS TELLS CHAMBER ABOUT
 VISITORS ASSN.

we've heen yelling for years that something ought to be done to get more tourists to Alaska--now we are trying to do something about it." Bob Ellis, temporary pre- sident of the Alaska Visitors Asso- citation. told the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at a regular luncheon meeting at the Baranof Hotel this noon.
 Everybody benefits from tourist dollars brought into the Territory, " Ellis declared. The tourist potential is unlimited and we have been slow to do something about this additional source of revenue. There are those who soy we haven't enough facilities to accommodate visitors. If we get the tourists com- ing up here, the facilities will fol- low. There are these who like roughing it, too There are those people who are going ahead in anticipation Of more tourist traffic, like Taku Lodge and Excursion h. let near Juneau here. It is up to us to ercouI age them and to ad- vertise the Territory.
 NEED SI20,0o0
 Right now we need $1200O0 to get started. Hawaii spends mill lion dollars a year in advertising its attractions and it pays off. Half is provided by the Hawaiian govern ment and half by the Visitors Bu- reau. Nearly all the states have huge budgets for advertising"
 Ellis outlined the alms of the Association as: 1-Foster travel to Alaska; 2-EE3ourage expansion of facilities; 3-Establish entertain ment for visitors; 4-Obtain coop eration of the Territorial govern ment financially; 5-Get cooperation of Alaskans with money and a friendly attitude toward tourists; 6-Extend tourist season; 7-Foster conservation of wildlife; and g. Improvement of transportation fac ilities. We are going ahead with this program" Ellis declared.
 Joe Mclean announced that it was planned to arrange goodwill tour early in the summer to place permanent signs on the Alaska Highway at Tok and Watson Lake to lure tourists to Juneau. Placards and folders will be placed at road houses along the Highway. It is hoped that three groups can par ticipate, one to go north from Haines Junction, one south to Wat son Lake and that those planning trips all the way to the states can take care of the extreme south ern portion of the Highway.
 MT. and Mrs. Bert Barrer were introduced as new members. They are publishers of the quarterly mag azine, the Alaskan.
 Guests were: A. B. Got" Hayes, Northwest Airlines. and Vie Davis, Northern Consolidated Airlines, both of Anchorage. Fairbanks visitors were Bob Rice, Air Taxi; Jack Whaley, Wein-Alaska Airlines; Paul Greimann, Alaska CoachwayS; Phil Johnson, Bank of Fairbanks; Chuck West, Arctic Alaska Travel Service; A. L.

PLEAS FOR
 STATEHOOD
 BY w N DC

WASHINGTON, Reb. 9-R-Pleas for statehood for Hawaii and AL aska were made at a special lunch con meeting yesterday of the Wo- mems National Democratic Club honoring the Territories and posses sions of the United States.
 Delegate Harrington (R-Hawaii) said the admission of Hawaii as a state would be major step in restoring confidence in the United States among the peoples of the Fal East.
 Delegate E. L. Bartlett (D-Alaska) coupled his petition for statehood with a plea for strengthening the defenses of Alaska.
 Alaska is not now defended ade- quately," Bartlett said. Our pro- gross in building up our defense es- tablishment there is pitifully slow The great need is troops and hous- ing for those troops.
 Tt is easily possible that if an enemy were to seize our great air. ports in Alaska he could bomb our industrial plant out of existence Round trip flights could be made from these Alaska bases to the in- dustrial heart of the United States
 Harrington said American prestige in the Far East "has suffered ser- iously in the five years since the end of World War IT."
 The task of restoring confidence in American leadership cannot be achieved by armed force alone he said.
 Tt must be achieved by acts that will convince the people of the Far East that we are. in earnest in our belief in the principles of Democratic government-self deter imitation, government by the con- sent of the governed. no taxation without representation, local self government" he continued. ? Mrs. Oscar Chapman, wife of the Secretary of Interior, presided at the luncheon.

CHICAGO, Feb. g -lR-A young woman. found frozen stiff with a body temperature about 34 degrees below normal, today was given a chance to survive. But doctors said she may lose both arms and legs.
 Physicians at Michael Reese hos oital said medical history probably ioes not show case where a per- son with such a low body tempera- 5ure = GA degrees lived to tell about it.
 Mrs. Dorothy Mae Stevens, 23, a Negro, was found yesterday morn ng lying beside South Side apart nent building in subzero cold.

 Today, 26 hours after she was found, the woman's temperature had climbed to 100. The normal is 98.6.
 Her pulse was 100, within the nor nal range. When first brought to the hospital, it was 12 beats min ute

RED FORGE DEFENSES
 SHATTERED
Dramatic Climax Reported on Advance of Allies =
 ,000 Red Casualties

An Allied Task Force swept thru shattered Chinese Communist de- lenses today to reach the Han River, five miles southeast of burned-out Seoul
 The plunge to the icy Han was a dramatic climax to a LIN offensive which began Jan. 25 In that time the Allies had pushed forward eau ,iously but murderously from 35 niles south of the old Korean capi- 5al. They had inflicted more than i1,000 casualties on the enemy; and heir offensive seemed directed to- ward this rather than toward the ,aining of territory.
 U. s. Eighth Army Commander It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway or- iored the final push to the Han put said his troops might not try 0 retake Seoul.
 City Shelled
 Other armored task forces on the left flank were within two miles of the city, pouring shells into Yongdongpo, the ancient city's in- iustrial suburb One outfit pushed eastward to within six miles of h. hon, the capitals Yellow Sea port.
 Almost no enemy resistance was met in these drives. The only danger vas from enemy mines strewn along he roads leading to the city.
 Only on the right end of the vest ern sector and on the adjoining central front were the Reds show ing any fight. They staged early morning counterattacks but were repulsed.
 Weather Bitter Cold
 On the whole fighting front. the weather had turned bitter cold again.
 Snow and thick overcast kept AL lied air support out of the skies. It also kept Gen. Douglas MacArthur from landing at U. s. Eighth Army headquarters for his 10th visit to Korea from Tokyo.
 A South Korean division banged up against 5000 North Korean Reds on the outskirts of Cholbal, 30 miles north of Checon, and was stalled.
 The Reds released 41 American. British and South Korean prisoners of war during the night at two places 37 on the western front and four on the central front.

Government Decides Against Underwriting New Aluminium
 p|ants at 5kagway or Canada

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--tR-The Government has decided against underwriting new defense aluminium production facilities in Alaska ol Canada, it was disclosed today.
 Chairman Celler CD, N Y) dis closed the decision by defense mob ilization chief Charles E. Wilson as a judiciary monopoly subcom- mittee ended hearings on h c aluminium industry.
 Wilson's decision was contained in a message to Marvin P. Taylor president of the Skagway, Alaska Chamber of Commerce, and to Nor gan w. Reed, Skagway mayor. It was dated January II but was with held pending conclusion of the committees hearings.
 Celler's subcommittee has beer critical of proposals by the alum mum company of Canada (Alcan) to build a $50O,O0O,OOO plant neal Kitimat, B. O., to furnish the U. s with aluminium in return for priori- ties and assured advance contracts on its output.
 The Aluminium Company of America (Alcoa) has favored site on the Taiya River near Skagway, Alaska, for a similar undertaking.
 Celler has contended that such U. s. aid to the two industry giants would only further what he has contended is already a monopoly concentration of power in the world wide aluminium industry.
 Celler and the subcommittee have contended that U. s. efforts should be directed at expanding the do- mestic industry through encourage ment of new independent concerns.
