 To Drafted As Candidate

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14-tR-- Congressman Hugh D. Scott (R- PD, COP, National Chairman in the l948 presidential campaign. has returned from a trip to Europe and a meeting with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower convinced that he and others in the Eisenhower -for-presi- dent movement have green. light" to go ahead, the Evening Bulletin said today.
 The newspaper said in a dispatch by it's Washington correspondent, Carl w. McCardle, that Scott left Eisenhower with the clear impression that the General will not pull the rug out from under those who are working to get the COP nomina- tion for him."
 Scott left Eisenhower sure that the General is Republican and that any talk of his running on the Dem ocratic ticket is silly. the newspaper reported, adding:
 But Eisenhower. it is said. made it plain that if he is to be the COP candidate it must be draft in the strictest sense and not some thing contrived."

King Neptune Shows Who's Boss on
 B7iny Deep; Too Much for Ships Cook

s PORT ANGELES, Wash. Sept. IA --LR-A University of Washington faculty member who defied the tra- ditions of the sea knows better now.
 His sad story came to light when the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Ser vices exploratory vessel John N. Cobb put in here.
 The University research assistant John Slipp. started it all when he sighted a white albatross flying near the vessel which was engaged in exploratory deep sea trawline off Cape Flattery earlier this month.
 Excited by sight of the bird, us- ually found only off the coast of Australia. Slipp asked permission to shoot it and bring it to the Uni versity museum as the first known specimen of white Albatross seen in Washington coastal waters.
 The seven crewmen immediately shouted "Nol" reminding Slipp of the fate of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner" and the old tradition of bad luck which follows shooting an albatross.
 Blu because of the specimens rar- ity Capt -Sheldnn- Johnson reluct- antly granted Slipp's request.
 After seven shots, Slipp brought the big bird down. And this is what followed
 The net cables fouled up three times.
 The net caught on the sea bottom and was ripped to shreds.
 The shaft on the main winch snapped.
 It then took the crew 5is hours to reel in the 1 TOO feet of cable.
 Ted Fed AaEselleaderf, Me Q scientific aide aboard the ship. fell down a hatch ladder and broke a rib.
 Slipp became violently seasick for the first time in his life. The sea was calm.
 Its exploratory work halted by the broken gear, the ship turned back to Seattle. There the cook quit.

Taku Road Would Help Dorothy Lake Eleeirit Projetf

The Bureau of Reclamation re- port on the Lake Dorothy hydro electric project has been compile ted, Joseph M. Morgan, district manager of the Alaska office, re- ported in letter to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 The Bureau has recommended the immediate construction of the project, Morgan said. He pointed out that the construction of the proposed Taku road as far as Point Bishop would aid materially in lowering the cost of constructing the project by transporting equip ment and materials.
 He also said that the road would facilitate the patrolling ano maintenance of transmission lines which would parallel the road along the mountain side from Point Bishop to Thane.
 For your information" the let ter read, mining industries in the Tulsequah area have made formal inquiry as to the availability oi electric power supply for use in their mining operations. Obviously any ultimate extension of the road from Point Bishop toward the mining area would expedite the construction and maintenance of transmission line built in that direction"
 The Lake Dorothy project will have an ultimate capacity Of 24,- GOO kilowats and will be capable ol producing and making available to the area 123,000 kilowat hours oi firm power energy annually
 This office strongly endorses the Chambers program for expe- diting construction of this import ant segment of the route connect ing Juneau with Canadian British Columbia" the letter concluded.

Ministers of } Nations Discuss
 !nfIaiion Threat

WASHINGTON. Sept. 14- R - The ministers of three countries, the United States, Britain and France today discussed a major threat to the vests defensive build- up: imitation.
 How to keep imitation from wreck ing the rearmament drive and along with it the economies of western Europe was a topic of talks by the big three foreign ministers. Secre- tary of the Treasury Snyder, Brit :sls -s s.f fysf'e E9itskell and French Finance Minister Rene Mayer sat in on the meeting.
 The three foreign ministers-Se- cretary of State Acheson. Britain's Herbert Morrison and Frances Rob- ert Schuman-last night agreed on main terms for a partnership deal which would allow the west Ger mans to contribute forces to the western alliance.
 Today, it was reported reliably, the ministers confirmed big three unity on measures to protect their nationals behind the Iron Curtain. Informer officials said the ministers agree that such unity already ex- ists as evidence of yesterdays joint ban on Czechoslovak airline flights over Germany and France.
 The move presumably was a mea- sure of retaliation for Czechoslovak- ia's refusal to release AP correspon- dent William Oatis from a Prague jail where he is serving a ten year sentence on charges of espionage
