Cut If Out
 Is Request
 Of Truman
Business, Labor and Farm Leaders Told 10 Quit
 Playing Leap Frog

WASHINGTON, April 10, -IR- Business, labor and farm leaders have an appeal from President Truman to quit playing economic leap-frog and team up against in- flation.
 The Presidents plea to his IT, member mobilization advisory board at the White House yesterday was
 I've got to have the complete cooperation of every segment of our population"
 With that MT. Truman asked his new advisory group to face up to two of his toughest mobilization problems. The board is headed by economic mobilization chief Charles E. Wilson and has four members each from agriculture, labor. busi- ness and the public.
 One problem is what can be done tn change the defense production act, expiring on June 30, to help do a better job in controlling in- flation.
 The other is the stalemate on the wage stahilization board. It has been inactive for nearly two months since labor members walk ed out in fury over mobilization policies.
 MT. Truman hopes he can thresh out his domestic mobilization prob- lens within the board and, by achieving agreement there, get the country's support.

 " ASHINGTON.-For almost year the President and those around him have blown hot and cold regarding the most spectacular military leader in the nation = Douglas MacArthur. At times, as when Macarthur barges into things political, MT. Truman has been on the verge of firing him. At other times. as when te returned from Wake Island, tEe President has sung MacArtl.l.r's praises.
 The truth IS that the administra- tion has a bear by the tail and doesn't know how to let go.
 Probably at no time in American history has there been compar- able situation between the White House and a powerful, popular military commander. The facts, briefly, boil down to these:
 l. MacArthur has been an active candidate for President on the op- posite ticket from that of MT. Tru- man, entered the Wisconsin prim- aries in l948, and maintained campaign headquarters at the

 HedvyLoss Reported

Whing Ding's Inn. popular night club on Douglas Island on the Doug las-Juneau highway, burned to the ground last night while Wilbur Irv- ing, the owner; two fire depart ments and many sightseers looked helplessly on.
 The Inn is usually closed on Sum- days and Mondays. Irving had left the place at 8:30 p.m., and was in Juneau during the evening. 'nre
 The loss is roughly estimated in excess of $50,000 and is moderately covered by insurance. Curtis Shat tuck, of the Shattuck Insurance Agency here, said that an insurance adjuster from Seattle would arrive here today or tomorrow to make final determination.
 At 1045 last right Bill Forward drove along the Douglas highway and observed smoke coming from what he thought was the chimney of Whing Ding so did not report it.
 Ten minutes later Bob Churchill, of the Glacier Cab Co.,, was driving to Douglas and noted the smoke coming from around the chimney and reported 1t on his cab radio to the operator. The Juneau fire alarm 2-9 sounded at l0:55.
 Irving, who was in the Baranof hotel Bubble room at the time. was notified by the desk clerk.
 ''s's'ssa Start of Fire
 The fire started in the basement where the heating unit was located and spread to Irving's living quar- ters nearby. By the time Irving ar rived the building was so hot there wasn't any chance to enter 1t in an attempt to save anything. In addition to loss of his personal be- longings and newly arrived large shipment of liquor stock, the en- tertainers, Mir. and Mrs. Royal O'Reilly, lost a $400 solo box. $500 bass viol and large, priceless collection of music. collect ed and arranged over a period of 10 years.
 The glow from the blaze att tracted many cars bearing sight seers which jammed the Douglas highway and streamed steadily across the Channel bridge.
 Helpless to Aid
 The Juneau Fire Department was helpless with only 30 feet of suction hose that would not reach the chan nel waters over the long tide flat. While no alarm was given in Doug las, the Douglas Fire Department water truck arrived at the scene put could do nothing. ew
 Irving built the night club about year ago, doing much of the car penter work himself and designed special bracing in the structure to withstand the strong Taku winds. While the building was not com pletely finished by July of last year, he opened and continued to work on it days while entertaining guests nights.
 Those at the fire said that Irv- ing sat on nearby stump and cried while he watched his investment and careful labor go up in smoke.
 Today Irving said. T was thinking how long 1t took to build it and all I put into it and so quickly 1t was destroyed"
