MUCH HUMMER WORK ON RADIO PHONE
 STATIONS, ALASKA

During the next four months there will be installation. replace ment, and repair of many Terri torial communication stations, Will liam Hixson, supervisor of commu- nications of the Aeronautical and Communications Commission said today.
 These radio stations in isolated communities have become an im- portant link in Alaska Communica- tions. There are now 60 actually operating stations spotted all over Alaska from the southern tip of the panhandle to the Arctic. Postmaser Kitty DeLong will be
 the operator at a new station to be installed at Fanshaw. The station at Cobol in Slocum l Arm, 50 miles north of Sitka, which burned last December will be re- placed with Mrs. Helen Bolyan as operator.
 The 30-watt station at Tenakee will be replaced this summer with a 100-watt station and Dermott 1 O'Toole will continue as operator Gus Woodrow will continue to operate the replaced station at Goddard Hot Springs.
 A new antenna system is to be 
 installed shortly at Kimshan Cove
 where John Thunis is operator. The Alaska Housing Authority is | furnishing funds for the Communi-
 cations division to install station
 for it's use at Anchorage. i In northern Alaska a station will
 be put in this fall at Mary's Igloo 1 50 miles north of Nome, where
 Stella Kakaruk is to be operator, Helen Jacoby will be the new op- orator at the station going in at
 Napimute.
 The new Eagle station will be | operated by B. F. Hanson. I Plans are underway to replace l the station which burned at Aleg- 1 nigik with Marvin Troutman as op- orator.
 AS soon as an operator can be found, a new station will replace the one burned at Ruby two years ago.
 In requesting a radio-telephone station for a community, residents must agree to provide the housing power and operator. The Territory furnishes the equipment and re- ] placement parts, makes the install Ilation, and arranges for licensing.

Army of the Potomac, only to re- instate him later in the sare sum- mer
 Pope is licked and Mcclellan has the diarrhoea," Lincoln wrote at that time, Aug. 31, 1862. What shall I do. The bottom is out of the tub. The bottom is out of the tub"
 Yet two days later Lincoln called on Mcclellan personally and asked him as a special favor to re- snme command.
 Mcclellan at that time was rid- ing the crest of the wave, was de- luged with mail not unlike Mac Arthur's today asking him tp take over the government and save the nation. He did an excellent job oi reorganizing Union forces, but rowed constantly with Washington over failure to get supplies, just as Macarthur demanded more rein forcements in Korea. After many protests Mcclellan, then at Har- pers Ferry, refused to move until he got more supplies, and, to try to patch matters up, Lincoln took another long trip to visit him ir the field. Later, .McClelian's con stant nagging got on Lincollfs nerves, for he sent Mcclellan 6 caustic telegram.
 T have just received yo'r dis patch about sore tongued and fa- tigued horses" Lincoln wired. "Wil you pardon me for asking what tht horses of your Army have dont since the Battle of Antietam tha fatigue anything?"
 McClellans final dismissal als' came late at night, just as oie MacArthurs His Army had moved across the Potomac when, arounc midnight Nov. T, 1862, a message arrived from Washington. McClel' Ian opened the message and passed it to General Burnside with tht comment: Well, Burnside, vol art to command the Army"

WoIfson Turns Down
Bid,to Testify Before
Florida Investigators

Louis E. Wolfson has turned
down a Florida investigating COM
mittee's invitation to explain in
person his campaign contributions
on the ground that prior and
pressing business engagements"
will take him elsewhere.
MFR. Wolfson, board chairman of
the Capital Transit Co., and
Jacksonville Fla) industrialist,
telegraphed Gov. Warren of Flor
ida last night that his engage
ments prevent him from appear
ing personally at this time.
An investigating committee of
the Florida Legislature wants to
ask him about a large contribu-
ton he made to Gov. Warren's
campaign. The committee origi-
nally issued a subpoena for Mr..
Wolfson but couldn't get it served
because he was out of the State
So a public invitation was sub
stituted.
In MS telegram, Mr. WolfSon
told the Governor:
AS you know, I have never
benefited financially. directly or
indirectly, as a result of my sup
port of your campaign, or of your
election"
He suggested that the commit
tee look up the testimony he gave
the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee in Miami last June.
AT that time I stated-and l /.
now repeat-that my participa-
ton in the Florida gubernatorial
campaign was motivated solely by
a belief I held at that time that
the best interests of the people
of the State of Florida, includ-
ing my own as a businessman,
would best be served by your cleo \
tion." Mr.. Wolfson wired the
Governor.

The examiner, William F. Gu

By Joy Cormody.

THE WOODEN HORSE" London
Films release, directed by Jack Lee, screen
play by Eric Williams. At the Dupont
Evening star., 1951-10-11

This may sound ridiculous, but
the movies are getting better than
ever.
Another expertly made one,
1.-THE Wooden Horse" is now on
the screen of the Dupont. The
story it tells of some Raj pilots
escape from German prisoner
of-war camp is not only a gem
of suspense but also of contrast
ing comedy touches.
AS the documentary account
of an actual fight from such a
prison, it reaffirms that the Brit
ish are really at their best under
the greatest of strains. In their
hours of apparent doom. they
find resources not only of cum
ming but of almost frivolous dis
regard for danger. "The Wooden
Horse" is a polite restatement Of
this that you will find entertain
ing in the fullest sense of the
word.
Leo Gem and an agreeable cast
make a most convincing tale of
this one. They are just the kind
who could play British exercise
loving fools well enough to in
duce the Germans to let them
build a wooden horse for leap
frog. Daily they carry the horse
to a certain spot for their ap-
parent play. Daily. underneath
it a furiously working ex-pilot
is digging a tunnel under the
fence to the far-away outside
world.
The odds are enormously against
the project but the plotters are
men who simply do not believe
they can lose to the Germans.
A battle maybe. or a plane in
a dog fight, but not a war or a
well-conceived escape plot. So
inspired, they dig.
THE Wooden Horse" is some
what amazing in its demonstra-
ton of the drama that lies in.
the repetitious sight of men dig
ging a hole in the earth. This
is close to the only action in the
film but it never results in a dull
moment. although the spectator
could sometime wish that it did,
This is because the strain of
the suspense is a little too great
to be relieved even by the comic
horseplay between the plotters
and their brutal. trigger happy
jailers. Or by the drollery in the
relations between the different
English prisoners.
There is a splendid tag line on
the film. spoken by Gem. that is.
