All Club Meeiing

Each member of Mendenhall All Club for boys, at our recent business meeting, with great de- light and interest held in his hands the big check of $15000, which we won for first prize for the most original float in the 4th of July parade.
 Jack Weisgerber, secretary, was ordered to send a letter of appre- ciation to the 4th of July Commit tee who had mailed us the check.
 Duane Reddecopp, treasurer, al ready deposited the money in the bank. This sum and the $200o0 won for our float-most original one a year ago, plus interest, has been earmarked toward purchas- ing a small riding model garden tractor to be used, to plough our project gardens and to break ground to enlarge cur plots.
 But, speaking ot our float, this seems as good time as any to correct little error. Despite ap- pearances otherwise, all patici- Rants on our float, the covered wagon West-bound in the parade were boys only boys.
 PerpleXed with disturbing problem, Peter Wood Jr, reported that a weasle is threatening his flock of Indian River Cross chick ems so repeatedly. that the young owner has to be on the alert ev- cry day.
 Duane Reddecopp's cNf takes full advantage of the long sum- mer days and eats far into the night, gaining weight amazingly,
 Ike, Gary Jenkins young pig, is always hungry and tries to cat ev- erything in sight-even Gary's boots. Ike, is taking on promis- ing shape and will be in excellent condition for our All Fair.
 Something really most wonderful is being planned by Ronny Peter son-a special entertainment for our Fair, such as the children of Juneau have never seen before, but will delight them very much.
 After the meeting, all members, accompanied by their leaders Mrs. Render and Mrs. Jenkins, made field trip to the new Druxman property on top of Peterson Hill to look over job of getting a garden ready for ploughing.
 We all regretted to see Bob Og- den, our president, leave Juneau He was his parents and sister Judy plan to make their home in California. The vacant office will be filled by Henry Allen Jen- kins.

Former Red Spy Testifies institute Was 'Commie' Fronf

WASHINGTON. Aug. IA -tR- Elizabeth Bentley, who says she lis a former Communist spy, test 1 flied today that the Institute of Pacific Relations tIPR) was a Communist front organization of a sort"
 She told the Senate Internal Security subcommittee that IPR was described to her once by a fellow Communist espionage ag- ent as "one of our organizations and under our control"
 But, she added, Russian agent Jacob Golos, who was her boss, also told her once that "IPR is far too loosely" and as a result was making many blun- ders.'
 The IPR is a private organiza- ton which was formed in the 192os with the declared purpose of promoting study of Far Eastern problems. Senator McCarran O. NeV, who heads the Senate sub committee, contends the IPR has been used extensively by Commit nists to influence U. s. Far East ern policy. The organization de- nied this.
 Miss Bentley has been a fre- quent witness at the Capital for several years, testifving at most of the Congressional hearings deai- ing with subversive activities.

 Turns Down Bid For Presidency

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14- R - Senator Douglas (D-IlD said today he will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent.
 Douglas asked withdrawal of peti- tions being circulated in Oregon to place his name on the ballot for next Mays Presidential primary there.
 Monroe Sweetland, Oregon state Democratic chairman, said after a White House conference with Pre- sident Truman yesterday that a petition was being circulated to place the name of Douglas on the ballot.
 Sweetland said he told MT. Tru- man that there is overwhelming sentiment among Oregon Democrats for the President to seek reelection
 Sweetland said Mir. Truman list ened" but gave no hint of his plans
 This byplay brought an assertion from Senator Brewster (R-Me) that if the President will make it clear he wants the Democratic nomina- ton, the Republicans will pick Sen- ator Taft (R-Ohio) as his oppon- ent.

Alaska Manpower Will Be Considered By Committee

Alaska has no representation or a newly-created labor-manage- ment committee, but will be given consideration where manpowei shortages in the Territory exist.
 This was the statement of Glenn E. Broadway, regional director and acting chairman of the Labor Management Committee for Reg ion XIII which met in Seattle Aug. 8.
 The region consists of Washing ton, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. It was the first meeting since the committee was appointed July g by Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin.
 Regardless of the outcome of armistice negotiations in Korea, , Broadway said, Region XIII will be responsible for an important part of the nations long-range rearmament progrom. We have not reached an actual manpower crisis so far, because defense con- tracts allocated to the region have not been fully felt in terms of manpower required to execute them"
 He added, however, that plans must be made to meet any man. power shortages.
 Functions of the committee include devising recruitment methods to increase industrial and labor forces; determine what training needs exist and low to meet those needs; eiim- mate wasteful labor turnover and consideration of adequate community facilities as housing. transportation, and child care

 With respect to Alaska Brock way stated: due to problems Of distance and cost of travel there is no representation from Alaska on the committee" He added that due consideration would be given to providing an adequate labor supply for the extensive defense construction in the Territory. The seasonal nature of the Alaska con- struction program, as well as other seasonal demands" Brockway said, creates problems Of stabilization of the labor force to which the committee will give it's attention.

Georgia Equal

Suit Dismissed

MACON, Ga. - Judge T. Hoyt
Davis of Federal District Court
here last week dismissed suit of
Irwin County Negro parents who
seek equal school facilities for
their children. The Irwin County
Board of Education successfully
sought dismissal Of the case on
the grounds that the parents had
not exhausted other courses of ac-
ton before going into court. The
case, which had created general ex-
element among the white politi-
clans and Georgia press, had been
sponsored by the Georgia Confer
ences of NAACP branches, with
Oliver w. Hill of Richmond, and
A. T.. Walden Of Atlanta as at
torneys for the parents.
Atty. Walden explained that the
NAACP legal staff had decided to
let the present case die and "start

Courts ruling. The Irwin suit did
not ask discarding of segregation
in the schools as have all other
NAACP school suits filed since
that time. Another suit III Atlanta

AFRICA LOOMS LARGE IN new
ECONOMIC PROGRAM ARRANGED
BY NATIONS OF WESTERN EUROPE
Report Of Economic Commission
Ut Europe Gives Interesting Facts
Regarding Marshall Plan Countries
RICH MINERAL DEPOSITS ENORMOUS

Lake Success, N. Y.-(ANP)-
The Economic Commission for
Europe revealed last week that
Africa has assumed new import
ance in connection with countries
participating in the Marshall Plan.
The Commission based it's report
on the second report of the or
ganization for European Economic
Cooperation.
Referring particularly to AZ
RIGA, it indicated that territories
south Of the Sahara Desert are
becoming increasingly important.
Production and exports of oil
yielding crops have increased ap-
probably, partly offsetting the re-
duction in exports from the Far
East.
There has been an increase of
40 per cent in the exports of
groundnuts from British West
Africa and a similar increase in
exports of palm oil and palm kerr
nels (oil equivalent) from the
Belgian Congo
During the war, the report re-
vealed, there was a reduction in
the production Of groundnuts in
French territories and this has
not yet entirely been made good.
Coffee production in French
West Africa and Angola has in
creased substantially. In con-
.trast, as result Of .swollen-shoot
disease, the production Of cocoa is
less than pre-war, particularly in
the Gold Coast, although exports
to the Western Hemisphere are
greater.
Also, the commission said, small
quantities of rubber are being ex-
ported and jute is being grown

experimentally.
The production Of sisal, one OF
the most important products OF
East Africa, is somewhat less than
pre-war, but the proportion ex.
ported to Western Hemisphere has
increased noatbly, and now rep.
resents about a quarter of produc-
ton.
The production of tropical woods
has recovered to its pre-war level
in French and Belgian territories
and has increased in British ter
ritories.
Mineral developments has pro-
ceeded steadily, particularly in the
Belgian Congo. Production of
copper in the Congo and Rhodesia
has been sustained at high level.
The production of zinc in these
territories is now five times as
great, and the production of tin
$50 per cent Of 1888 A new and
substantial production Of bauxite
has been developed in the Gold
Coast.
The report indicated that large
gums have been set aside for the
development of technical train
ing and the improvement Of hy-
gienic conditions. New technical
and veterinary schools are under
construction in several territories.
For the improvement in public
health regional hospitals and ru-
raj dispensaries are to be built.
