 Anchorage Chamber Af October Luncheon

With fair turnout of it's mem bership, the Chamber of Con- merce luncheon meeting in the Coop club room yesterday fairly bristled with plans and sugges- tions for the next few weeks. Most notable were those for a joint meeting with the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce to be held in Palmer the second or third week in October.
 It was hoped that a number of produce buyers in the Anchorage area would be present for the luncheon with the Anchorage Chamber so that a good selling job" on Matanuska Valley farm produce might be accomplished.
 Al Hagen's reminder of Fire Prevention week, October 7 to IA, brought up a discussion of the projected assumption of Fire As sociation equipment and services by the city January l, 1852. A letter requesting the city to con- tinue extending service to the ru- ral areas on the same basis under taken by the Fire Association was authorized. Mrs. Betty Mears suggested a joint meeting of the Chamber with the Kiwanis Club and mem- bers of the City Council to hear Edward Crittenden talk on city planning.

CONTRACT AWARD
 ASSURES FALL START ON EKLUTNA TUNNEL

Announcement was made this morning from the Denver office of bureau of reclamation's district engineer that a contract had been awarded for the Eklutna tunnel project.
 The award was made to the Palmer Construction Go. of Oma- ha, Nebraska, which is a firm name chosen to cover activities of three individual construction companies which bid jointly on the low level tunnel construction contract. The three companies are Peter KieWit & Sons Co.,, Coker Construction Co.,, and Morrison Knudsen Co.,, Inc. Their joint bid was $17, ,348,865. This was slightly lower than the engineers esti- mate of $18,175,568 and was $4 million more than Peter KieWit and Morrison-K Knudsen had pre- viously bid on the same project.
 The successful bi d ders an- nounced two weeks ago that they would start work this fall on the tunnel project if the contract was granted.

Site for the new shop across from Rusty Dow's place on the highway near Knik bridge was purchased last year. If a flaw in the description of the 5-acre tract had not held up the title, the building would have been built this year.

 Meanwhile, a living room work shop and a nearby shed are be- ing pressed into service for all the various processes the good taxi dermist employs in making fine trophies. After the skinning comes the fleshing out. All the fat and surplus meat is scraped from the skins. Then the flesh side of the skins must be covered with salt to dehydrate them of all fats, grease and blood that would oth- erwise cause them to spoil. The actual salting is only an over night procedure, but following this the hides must be hung up for a week or ten days to permit all moisture to draw out before they are sent Outside to a whole sale tannery.

COUNCIL TO NULL PHONE PROPOSALS IN CLOSED SESSION

After brief consideration of Maynard S. Sands written pro- posal for a new improved tele- phone system for Palmer, city council members decided to meet in closed session next week, Sep tember 25, to consider CD the merits of the two proposals re- ceived to date, CD to set a dead line for receipt of any more pro- posals, (3) to get the advice of a qualified, unbiased expert on telephone communications, (N and to set up specifications that the council would like included in the plan recommended for franchise confirmation by the electorate.

It covered installation with in 40-120 days of franchise of a common battery switching with selective automatic ringing, to- gether with all necessary associ- ated equipment, which is now in the possession of the Matanuska Valley Telephone Co.,, Inc.

Two Big Dairy Farms Sold his Week

Two big dairy farms changed hands this week in real estate transactions involving the sale of 360 acres of Matanuska Valley land.
 Sold were the 200-acre Gust Scheibl farm about a mile out of town on the Matanuska Highway, and the 160-acre Fred R. Gaylord Grade A Dairy farm across from the Kyger farm on Fish Hook Road. Scheibl is one of the origi- nal Matanuska Valley Colonists, and his farm is generally acknow- ledged as having the most cleared acreage of any farm in the Val ley.
 The Gaylord farm was pur- chased by MT. and Mrs. Samuel A. Boyd. They have been asso- ciated with the Alaska Native Service for the past 16 years, he as carpenter and she as a teach CT. Last year they were at Chig- nix. Previous to that, they were six years in Tanacross and nine years in Sitka. The couple have six children-three girls and three boys, ranging from five through 12 in age.
 The Boyds plan to take over the farm this weekend. Mrs. Boyd reports the children as be- ing very excited about living on a real dairy farm. Until 1947, when the family made trip Out side, the children had seen no animals.
 The Gaylords leave this week end to drive down the highway enroute to their former home in Oregon.
 The Scheibl farm was pur- chased by Roland Grover, oldest son of Clifton Grover. Roland

 With the open season on moose, caribou and mountain goat going into it's third week and the sheep season a recent memory, Brunner was working at his home work shop last weekend on game hunt ing orders brought in by more than a hundred customers. Still more orders from the no-closed- season on bear and the 1852 game fishing season were in final stages of becoming trophies fit to swell with pride the chests of many AL askan sportsmen,

Returned from the tanners, the skins go to the workshop, where flaws are cut out and repaired, where all the work of mounting, mothproofing, trimming, padding and lining is completed. Only the outer skin of the original head is saved, so the mounting process includes the moulding of com- plete new head with mouth, teeth, eyes and, sometimes, the ears. Brunner makes his horns smell better by giving them a good 20-minute bath in boiling water.
 Game and Fur Animals
 From the past months hunting kill, Brunner has mounting jobs for about 30 sheep heads, II goat heads, and eight full head mounts of caribou. Only one moose head has been brought in so far. A doz- en bear heads and over 100 bear rugs are also commissioned. Bear rugs up to six feet long cost about $12.5O a lineal foot; over six feet,

NEW SCHOOL BOND ISSUE CLARIFIED FOR PTA
HURLEY SAYS 'YES' VOTE ON OCT. 2nd
 Us PEOPLES PLEDGE OF FAITH

When the Eklutna bridge wash out, kept the scheduled speaker from addressing the P-TA at it's first meeting Tues night, School Board Member Jim Hur- ley was pressed into service by President Betty Kinder for ex- temporaneous explanation of is- sues involved in the school bond election coming up October 2.
 To more than 100 persons who filled to capacity the school cafe teria, Hurley gave convincing as- surance that the school board is not trying to coerce the people into anything they don't want and that no extra tax levy will be made unless it is absolutely necessary.
 "If you are WILLING to pay an additional two percent to have good school facilities, vote yes on the bond issue", he said. This is merely pledge of good faith on the part of the people of the com munity, showing that they want the new school facilities enough to pledge their tax structure for the payment of their 50 percent share of total construction costs".
 Other questions cleared up by Hurley were as follows:

In all probabili- ty the bonds won't have to be is sued at all, but authority must be given the board by 65 percent of the voters to issue the bonds in case the government requests it.

There are exceptions such as the

of trying to block Senator Taft.
Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Stassen

politically only that they will

members of his family do not
want him to run. He too knows
that while the new constitu-
tional amendment technically
doesn't apply to him the people
may be persuaded to believe
that q moral barrier to more
than two terms has been erected.
The same arguments that
initiate against choosing an
unknown" in politics for the
Republican nominee can be said
to initiate against selecting
Gen. Eisenhower as the Demo-
cratic nominee.
Mr.. Truman, OF course, would
like to retire in blaze of glory.
He wants vindication. He can
get it by selecting the standard
bearer of the party and CAM
paigning for him so that a vic
tory for his choice would be
vindication of the present ad-
ministration. Who is the strong
est man from the Truman view
point? The answer is some one
who is friendly to him, some
one who has a thorough knowl-
edge of Democratic politics,
some one who has prestige ma
tionally, some one who will not
kick out the officeholders in key
spots though he would have his
own cabinet, some one with a
devotion to the international
policies of the Truman admin
istration. Such a man is Fred
Vinson of Kentucky, former
member of the House, former
Secretary of the Treasury. for
mer economic Stabilizer during
World War II, former Court of
Appeals judge, and now Chief
Justice of the United States.
He is not a candidate and
would prefer to stay on the
bench the rest of his life. He
would have to be drafted. But
so was Justice Hughes for the
Republican nomination in 1916.
Justice Vinson is a natural for
the Democrats if Mr.. Truman
chooses not to run.

Military Men Fear Red BuiId-up
Communists Are Expected to Use Ceose-Fre PorIeys
For Time In Which to Prepare New Offensive
Constantine Brown:

Top American military men
are following the preliminary
cease-flre negotiations with
greater interest and anxiety
than any other past armistice
conversations.
The teams of American, Chi
nese, and North and South
Korean colonies met at Kaesong
to prepare an agenda of their
higher ranking officers and seem
to have been successful.
What position the Chinese
and North Koreans will take
when the armistice discussions
begin is not known. In their
reply to the invitation issued by
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway the
commanders of the enemy forces
stated that they were willing to
discuss a cessation of hostilities
as we'll as conditions for estab-
lishment of peace.
Whether the political mat
tiers involved in a peace settle
ment will be injected into armi-
Stice conference remains to be
seen. 1t appears probable that
the cease-fire negotiations will
be protracted. Procrastination
has been an Oriental custom for
many years. This custom is even
more likely to be followed now.
when the representatives of the
Communists and those Of the
United Nations are on equal
footing. 9la
Both sides are claiming vic
tory and neither accepts de-
feat. In the past conflicts, such
as World Wars I and II, armi-
Stice pourparlers took place after
the enemy had been thoroughly
trounced and we knew that he
no longer could make another
military effort.
This is not the case now,
however. Most top American
military men in Washington
and at supreme headquarters
in Tokyo are aware that the
enemy, in spite of his heavy
losses, still has lot of punch
left.
1t is no secret that our gen.
erals and admirals are still
suspicious of the motives of the
Chinese. 1t is known that a
large force has been, and still
is being brought across the Yalu
river near the Iron Triangle"
where the enemy was planning
to mount another offensive if
the truce offer had not been
forthcoming.
An approximate estimate of
the Chinese volunteers" places
this force at about 100000 men.

President Truman was put
under pressure last week by
friendly sources to act against
major enemies of his admins
tration, the China lobby and
Senator Mccarthy.
Since results depend not upon
his own undoubted personal
courage but upon the amount of
energy and determination he
can infuse into his immediate
circle. the outcome of these eff
forts is greatly in doubt.
Senator Morse of Oregon in
troduced a Senate resolution for
investigation of the China lobby.
a project the President has pub
licly supported. That support.
however, has had no visible
echoes from within the depart
ments where the facts lie. State
has passed the buck to Treasury
and Defense; the Congress
which has voted huge funds for
China has been equally apa-
thetic.
After some careful eXplora-
ton of his own, former Senator
Tydings was able to present to
Mr.. Truman evidence satisfac-
tory to him as a. lawyer that
Senator Mccarthy can be
brought to book before a grand
jury for his improved charges
against the State Department.
This, of course, would require
action by the Justice Depart
ment and the Justice Depart
