Native Service Moi Seriously Affetied By Less Funds: Wade

Because of reductions in appropri- ations, many of the area offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been required to consolidate their field operations, Hugh J. Wade, area director of the Alaska Native Service said today.
 He returned Monday from Wash ington, DC, where he attended the annual meeting of the bureaus area directors.
 The area office of the Alaska Native Service has not been seri- ously affected, he said, but it will be impossible to expand the present programs.
 "In keeping with the general ad- ministrative policy of curtailment in construction" Wade said, there will be very little new construction carried on by the service in AL aska this fiscal year.
 "The Bethel hospital will be built and the new Anchorage hospital will be completed. Two new schools will be constructed in villages in the Interior where school facilities are badly needed" he said.

Death Silence Broken
 By Baby's in Plane Wreck in Ardic Setfion

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 12- R-A baby's faint cry broke the silence of death beside crashed plane in the Arctic Wednesday.
 Astonished airmen from another plane found the 6-month-old boy strapped inside a fur pouch under the parka of his dead Eskimo mother.
 The tot. although injured, survived the crash that hurled Mrs. Martha Ruth Simmons 90 feet from the crashed plane, to her death on the ice.
 Another victim of the crash was the pilot, George Harrington, from Marblehead Lake, Mass.
 L. B. Williams of the governments Alaska Native Service and at first believed to have been a passenger on the plane, was located last night in Meade River village. He had not been passenger when the craft took off on it's flight near Point Barrow, northernmost tip of North America.
 Finding of Williams cancelled plans for further search for him at the spot where the single en- zine Wien-Alaska Airlines plane crashed on frozen lagoon.
 We found the plane broken into pieces and scattered all over the ice," said Pilot William English. We found the pilots body about 100 feet from the fuselage. Then we went over to where the mother was ly- ing. She was dead, too. Then sud- denly we heard baby crying some- where inside her clothing. We open- ed the hood of the fur compartment on her back and discovered the in fant."
 English and Fess Casey Stengl flew the baby to the hospital at Point Barrow. It was reported to have internal injuries.
 The other airmen believed the plane crashed onto the ice during a snow furry.

Truman Asks WISE To SettIe Plane
 Plant Strikes

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-tR-Pre- sident Truman has asked the Wage Stabilization Board to try to settle two defense plant strikes which have halted production of jet en- zines and of transport planes used for evacuation of wounded from Korea.
 The plants involved are the Wright Aeronautical Corp, at Woodridge, N. J., which makes jet engines, and the Douglas Aircraft Co.,, at Long Beach, Calif., producer of the C-124 Globemaster Trans port. One of the Globemasters re- gently evacuated l27 Korean casu- alties in a single flight.
 In turning the disputes over to the wage board Mir. Truman said
 Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Will
 son has reported that the strikes are having a serious effect on
 the mobilization program. Members of the CIO United Autt Workers have been on strike at thu Woodbridge plant since Sept. 26 anc at Long Beach since Sept. 5. MT. Truman said in a letter tt Nat Feinsinger, chairman of tn wage board, in directing him t attempt settlement of the Wrigh strike:
 Even before the strike, engine de liveries from the plant were behind schedule. Since Wright Aeronauti cal Corp. is the sole source of sup ply for the type of engine it pro duces, the stoppage is having a ser ious impact on the progress of th' defense program"
 MT. Truman expressed hope. tn, strikers at both plants would re turn to work immediately.
 The wage boards first act will b. to relay the Presidents back-tc work request to the strikers ant then, if the men go back, to holt hearings in an effort to settle tn, disputes.

" ASHINGTON = The Defense Department is alarmed over wave of crippling strikes that have dangerously slowed jet-engine pro- duction at time when jet fighters are desperately needed to turn back Russian jets in Korea and defend this country against new Russian A-bombs. The situation is so critical that the Air Force has actually been forced to accept planes with out engines
 Without putting the finger on labor or management, the Defense Department frankly suspects Com munists may be behind these strik- es. At least, the Communists could not have struck in a more strategic industry at a worse time.
 For example, the strike against the General Electric Lockland plant at Lockland. Ohio, cost the Air Force several hundred jet engines Another two-month-old strike at Brown and Sharpe, Providence, R l., has shut down principal source of screw machines and other vital tools needed for aircraft production

Mostly Costly Hill Bafile Of Korean War Is Won at Point of U. N. Bayonefs

, U. s. 9TH ARMY HEADQuAR- TIERS, Korea. Oct. 12-H-Bloody bayonets of American and French Infantrymen today cleared the Reds off the last peak of Heartbreak Ridge. climaxing the longest and most costly hill battle of the Ko- rean war.
 Fierce fighting continued on the northern slope below the crest. U. s. 9th Army officers referred to 1t as ''mopping up."
 The Allies captured two other nearby peaks in the eastern ko- rean mountains.
 In a blazing air battle over northeastern Korea US. F4SB
 Sabre Jet pilots reported they shot down one Red Jet and dAtii- aged six. The Fifth Ar Force said the Sabres were outnumbefed 100 to 32. It said no Ameticaf jets were lost In the 2O-mihut6 fight.
 Along the western front Chinese Reds hurled three attacks at the United Nations line. Two were beaten back.
 The third forced clements of the US. First Cavalry Division to with draw. The pullback was in the Yonchon sector. roughly 25 miles northeast of Panmunjom where Red and LIN. liaison officers we're reported near agreement on fe- opening truce talks.
 Allied war planes were out in force Friday. Land- based btahss mounted i,045 sorties Thufsdst. the highest number in fo,lr months. Four carriers sent thtlt planes aloft, including 90 sortlss off the Australian escort cArrief Sydney. The Navy said this waS possibly a record for an escort carrier.
 All battle action was oversha- dowed by the capture of the north ernmost peak of Heartbreak Ridge.
 A little band of haggard French men md Americans seized 1t in a night long attack. At 8 am. they stood looking across the crest at the climax Of Sl days Of incredibie fighting for Heartbreak Ridge.
 At their feet were the bufhed and twisted bodies of North ko- rcan Communists whose fsuatical defense was equaIIed only bt the courage that won the bitter ad- miration of the men who hilIen them in hand to- hand struksIe.
 The Reds dogged defense made the month-long battle for the four mile ridge probably the. costliest Allied regimental attack of the whole Korean war.
 Some companies almost disap- peared. Some battalions were cut down to little more than companies.

New Red ss...ssss s:. ksssg Charge
 Is Made
Claim Made LIN Plane Attacked Neutrality Zone of Kdesong

MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 12-R- The Reds summoned Allied liaison officers to Kaesong tonight to in- vestigate new neutrality violation charges.
 The call came as the Reds and Allies appeared near agreement on reopening truce talks at new site Panmunjom, six air miles south east of Kaesong.
 The Reds charged that United Nations plane attacked the Kae- song neutral zone at 5;35 pm. - only an hour and half after the truce meeting ended at Panmun- j0m.
 They made the charge over the radio-telephone circuit linking the LIN advance peace camp at Nun san with Kaesong, original site of truce talks which the Reds broke off Aug. g because of an asserted Allied plane attack.
 Air Force Col. Don c. Darrow and Army It. Col sNorman B. Ed wards left the Allied peace camp by jeep at 8 pm. for Kaesong.
 Simultaneously, a JUN. spokesman said, the US. Air Force began checking to see if any Allied. plane could have been in the area.
 Charges of violations of the Kae- song neutral zone were the main reason for moving the talks.
 The size of the protected area to be maintained around Kaesong in the future appeared today to be . major stumbling block in the path of resuming armistice nego- tiations.
 The new Red charge which could disrupt preparations for re- newing negotiations was tele- phoned at 2 pm. The Reds gave the time. place. extent of damage and nature of the asserted attack. The LIN. command did not an- nounce whether it was supposed to have been bombing. machinegun- ming or fire bombing.

Juneau Volunteer Fire Department Unique One; Duties Are Many and Varied

The Juneau Volunteer Fire De- partment has maintained one of the most efficient fire departments in the country for 66 years. The first fire department was organized in 1885 when Juneau was a ramollng : waterfront town with less than 50O people. A hand-drawn water cart and bucket brigade were the only protection against conflagratlon since there was no water system at that time. When fire occurred a bell was rung and the entire com- munity turned out to combat the blaze.
 An old picture of that water cart bearing a sign, You ring the bell, we'll do the rest" can be seen in the Thomas Hardware Go. store window. The display includes models of fire trucks of the 1900 era. These trucks, which are to scale, and operate just like the real trucks, even to extending the lad ders on the old style aerial, were made by the son of Fire Chief Mill. Several old pipes from Betty" an old style and new style mask, the Scott-Air pak, a modern all around mask, several coils of hose, 1852 model aerial truck, which should be the delight of every youngster, firehats and the old bell which has been rung many times to announce the Annual Firemens Ball can also be observed in the window.
 Grows in 1900
 Speaking of 1900, it was recalled by the oldtimers in the department thst in those days the department consisted of two hand-drawn hose companies and one hook and ladder company. Stamina and fleetness of foot determined a member Of the department, as it was often necessary for the men to pull the heavy hose carts considerable dis tance, sometimes reaching the fire in state of collapse. Practice runs were frequent and the fastest men in Juneau were at premium, since the security of the community de- pended upon speed.
 The Gastineau Channel fire de- partments reached the height of their glory during the gold rush days. All activity stopped in those days when hose cart races were scheduled between the settlements s fire departments.
 Months before the event the fire men would be ir training and would strip down to trunks and spike shoes for the final event. Those firemen not in the race wore full dress uniforms and the hose carts were gaily decorated. Betting was high and the results of the races often attained considerable fury. It was recalled that on one Fourth of July event not only the three hose companies engaged in a free for-all, but the spectators entered into the contest.
 Tactics Change With Autos
 The fire-fighting tactics of the Juneau Fire Department began to ckange with the coming of the automobile, and in 1913 the first truck, on which was mounted hose and chemical tanks, was purchased by the City of Juneau and in 1916 found a larger truck, equipped with bumper, giving the city considerably more protection.
 At the present time the Juneau Fire Department has two heavy duty trucks and one auxiliary truck (Betzy). These trucks are equipped with fairly modern equipment. However, since the City of Juneau
