LIQUOR CASH EVIDENCE I5
 GIVEN SENATE

An auditors findings of $27,- GOO shortage in the Territorial Liquor Stamp fund was aired in the Senate's final night session.
 Attorney General J. Gerald Will Hams told senators in concluding lengthy testimony that the case is "A dead duck" so far as any rem- edial action is concerned.
 Williams said none of the persons involved are covered by bond al- though T can't understand why not" and the three-year statute of limitations had outlawed any action against individuals.
 Williams also said Most of them now are dead"
 Actually said Williams, I'm not sure that these men didn't turn the stamps in. think all of them are innocent"
 Liquor stamp shortages were re- ported by the Arthur Anderson Company after 1949 audit.
 Williams was called to discuss the situation by Sen. John Butro- vich, who served with Sen. James Nolan as special auditing com mittee from the .949 legislature.
 DefalcatiOns Disclosed
 Butrovich and Williams related how the audit back to 1885 disclosed defalcations of $43,351 in funds un- der former treasurer Oscar Olson, who now is serving a term at Mo- Neil Island penitentiary.
 Before citing names of persons, from the auditing firms report, Williams prefaced his remarks:
 T assume all are innocent. l don't mean to imply any crimes"
 He told the senators the biggest liquor stamp item was listed for E. D. Webb of Seward, from 1945. He quoted the auditing report as $17,292, plus a $500 check.
 He cited the auditing reference:

LEGAL FIGHT IS.
 PREDICTED ON. RE0RGAN.B BILL.

Albert White, General Counsel of the Republican Party of Alaska, expressed the opinion the Reorgan- ization bill passed in the closing hours of the Alaska Legislature is illegal and no doubt will be con- tested.
 He said the Republican objec- tion to the bill is that it takes away the rights of the people to vote for Auditor and Treasurer and places the authority in the hands of the Governor and members of the House and Senate. He cited Senate Bill 16, passed by the leg islature and now law. He said 1t forbids the Governor and members of the legislature from serving on any Board or Commission.
 He declared: More and more the rights of the voters of Alaska are being taken away.
 Republicans did the best they could. Senator Engstrom, I am in formed, refused to vote on the senators for the board of admin istration. Senator Snider was not in the senate chamber. It was ap- parent that no Republican was to be on the board, and it was at its final passage without a Republican on the hoard.' Senate President Gunnard Engebreth, Anchorage Re- publican and foe of White, was named to the board, but White said he did not consider him to be a Republican,.

 PLANE IS
 DOWN, SEA
GIobemdster with Report ed 52 Aboard, Including
 Brig. Gen., Is Missing

WASHINGTON, March 23 -Pl- A big Air Force transport plane with 53 aboard is missing on a flight over the Atlantic from the United States to England, the Air Force reported today
 One of those aboard was identi- fled by the Air Force as Brig. Gen. Paul T. Cullen, deputy commander at Barksdale Field near Shreveport, La, who was enroute to an undis- closed European destination.
 The missing plane, C-124 or Globemaster II, last reported it's po- sition in a routine radio check about am. as 800 miles southwest of Ireland.
 It was enroute from the Lime stone, Me, Air Base to the Amer ican base at Mildenhall in Suffolk.
 Brig. Gen. Aboard
 The Royal Air Force control sta ton directing the search operations said the plane carried brigadier general Cullens. This report aroused belief that he was Brig. Gen. Paul T. Cullen, deputy commander at Barksdale Field, near Shreveport, La, who left there Wednesday for a European destination.
 The U. s. Third Air Division headquarters here and the Royal Air Force said they had no informa- ton about the number of persons aboard. The British Press Associa- tion did not announce the source of its information on the number.
 No Signs Seen
 Air Force Headquarters here and in Washington also would not con- firm that Gen. Cullen was on board.
 American and British search and rescue planes, some carrying life boats, combed the area where the plane was last reported, but saw no signs of the missing Globemaster eVtIl dlUCI lG WdS pl lCoulilCo to iioNS exhausted its gas supply.
 That type plane normally carries its own life rafts, equipped with ann pie food, water and clothing to en- able it's passengers to survive for some time.
 Hopes Held Out
 The Air Force said in mid morn ing however, it still held hope for the plane because it could have reached Iceland or the Azores.
 An Air Force spokesman said the giant transport had about eight hours of fuel left when it last re- ported. Tt was then within six .lours flight of Ireland, Iceland or the Azores"
 Another big plane, military air transport was temporarily reported overdue on a flight from Iceland to this country. It later landed safely at Argentia, Mild.
 Also aboard are Col. Kenneth N. Gray, budget officer; It. Col. E. A. McKoy, assigned to SAC's director

 Berlin in 1923 was a city of des- pair. People waited in the alley behind the Hotel Adlon ready to bounce on garbage cans immedi- ately they were placed outside the hotels kitchen. Inside the hotel women waited. willing to sell their souls for a cup of coffee that cost one million marks one day mil- lion and a half the next and two million the day following.

American Parafroopers Jump Behind Red Lines;
 10000 (omrries Beat It
By Associated Press

American paratroopers bOlstered by tough rangers jumped today be- hind Communist lines north of Seoul and shocked some 10000 Red troops into nasty flight.
 The paratroopers filled the sky with their brightly-hued parachutes like a massive Easter bouquet.
 But the Communists rallied later and were fighting desperately to sur round and wipe out the $500 out numbered American jumpers.
 An armored column experimenting a fresh Allied drive by three di- visions north of Seoul linked up with the paratroops near the drop area south of Munsan.
 Ridgeway In Fight
 It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway landed in a light plane only 29 min utes after the first paratrooper !,,mped. A field dispatch said he was in the thick of one fierce fight.
 In Central Korea, an American armored patrol pushed within two and one-quarter miles of Parallel 38 north of Chunchon without op- position.
 The air assault was made behind 15.OOO to 10000 Communist troops, possibly the rear guard of a 60,000- man force reported earlier in the area.
 Cargo Plane ExplOdes
 The only mishap of the landing was the explosion of GLIB cargo plane in the air after it had deliv- cred it's paratroopers.
 It was the second airborne land ing of the war The first was made north of the Red capitol of Psyong- yang last Oct. 20 and 21. .
 On the Central front, tank pa trols of the U. s. First Cavalry di- vision pushed within few miles of the 38th Parallel. Some 5000 Chinese Reds dug in about five miles north of Allied-held Chunchon were attacked by U. $. fighter bombers.

 Gets } of 4
 Board Seats

Legislators from the Third Di- vision won three out of four places on the reconstructed Board of Ad- ministration. as provided in the Government Reorganization bill that passed the Legislature last night.
 In the wee hours of the morn- ing. the following were named by the weary legislators.
 House = Glen Franklin. Fourth Division Democrat. and Speaker William Egan. Valdez Democrat.
 Senate President Gunnard Engebreth, Anchorage Republican, and Steve McCutcheon, Anchorage Democrat.
 The House selections were made after Democratic caucus that lasted more than an hour. George Madsen, Nome Democrat, was nam ed alternate for Franklin and An drew Hope, Sitka Democrat, was named as Egan's alternate.
 In the Senate, Engebreth said he had intended to name Elton Eng strom as his alternate because Of his residence in Juneau, but that he would designate someone else because Engstrom boycotted the whole procedure. Then he named Anita Garnick, Juneau Republican, as his alternate. after first desig- mating Percy Ipalook, Kotzebue Republican. He switched to Senator Garnick after Ipalook demurred to the selection. McCutcheon named Dr. R M. Mackenzie. Ketchikan Democrat, as his alternate.
 Other Senate nominees were James Nolan, John Butrovich and Howard Lyng. Butrovich declined to be a candidate because, he said, he had not been feeling well. Lyng refused to leave his name up be- cause he had opposed the bill vig- orously and insisted to the end that legislators could not legally serve on the board. Nolan was nominated by Butrovich in a bipartisan ges- ture. McCutcheon offered to With draw from the race to give the spots to Nolan and Engebreth. but stayed in as Mackenzie emphasized that he had not actually refused to be candidate.
 In the House, the Republican nominees for the board posts were ] s. MacKinnon and Waino Hen drickson, both of Juneau. The vot- ing was on party lines, by roilcap. (In the Senate the vote was L5 secret balloD.

  Lyng challenged the right of leg islators to serve on board. He cited bill passed midway in the session to forbid it.

Engstrom refused to vote for any Senate members of the board. In angry protest against the Sen ate choices, he declared: T voted against the bill. l smelieo deal cooking.
 .sThe senator from Ketchikan told me we will cram it down your throats. He has. We should have killed the bill instead of getting ourselves into deal like the one pulled here tonight
 AS the final gong sounded to eno the session, Lyng was trying to gel the floor to read a section from the organic act prohibiting legislators from holding or being appointed to any government post.
