Mrs. Michael ]. Walsh Chosen 'Alaska Mother Of 1851"

Mrs. M. J. Walsh. whose name was submitted to the American Mothers Committee of the Alas ka Federation of Women's Clubs by the Home Arts Club of Nome as a candidate for the 1851 Alaska Mother, has been awarded that honor.
 The committee making the choice was composed of repre- sentatives of the American Legion Auxiliary in Anchorage, the Sor- optomist Club, Alaska Women's Club, and the Business and Pro- fessional Women's Club of An chorage. The committee has named Mrs. Clara Rust, of Fair banks, for second choice.
 Mrs. Walsh's name has been submitted to the American Mother Committee of the Golden Rule Foundation as candidate for the American Mother of 1851.
 The American Mothers Com mittee came into existence in 1883 under the leadership of Mrs. Sar- ah Delano Roosevelt, who served as Honorary Chairman for many years. The first American Mother was selected in 1885 and presen- ted to the nation over a national radio network by Mrs. Roosevelt. . The idea met with an enthusiastic popular response. An American Mother has been selected each successive year. Several years ago it became necessary to decentral- ize the work of the committee for the purpose of reviewing nomina- tions. The American Mother is chosen from among the forty eight State Mothers.
 It was with pride and conf- dence that the local group of club women nominated Mrs. Walsh, as all her children were Nome-born, Nome-raised, and all have been successful in their careers.
 Her many activities during a half century of residence in the community where she has served on many civic proqects as we'll as being an active member of her church, further endowed her with qualifications required to become Alaska's Mother of 1851.

Gen. Ridgwa:|IIy,' ]
 Takes Over {: r !. ].
By the Associated Press

oy LIlt fASSOC1dLcO ITSSS
 General Macarthur was fired today from his Tokyo command. President Truman took the dras- tic action on the ground that the 71-year-old hero of World War II had demonstrated inability to give wholeheared support to United Nations objectives in the Far East.
 The custer brought angry criti- cism from MacArthur's support CTS. 'This action can bring great tragedy to our country" former president Hoover said. "It does not solve the primary question of how to end our war with Commu- mist China without advantage to Soviet Russia. A strong pillar in our Asian defense has been re- moved"
 Republican leaders in Congress were trying to reach General Mac Arthur by telephone. Senator Bridges R-N.H0 said Eve are discussing everything from inn peachment on down."
 On the other hand, there were expressions of relief from some leading Democrats and from Brit ish and other officials abroad. These officials expressed belief the way was open now for new efforts to end the war in Korea.
 At London Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison said Britain is now ready to negotiate a cease fire in Korea but the "other side" so far had shown no desire to stop the hostilities.
 The White House announcement came at l a.m., EST). That was early afternoon in Tokyo, and was at luncheon in 1is home. He received the news without turning a hair," an aide said.
 Macarthur had wanted to ex- oand the war to include direct attacks on Red China. He sought ,o use the Formosa troops of Chi ang Kai-Shek to open second front. Both these stands ran coun- CT to administration policy. Presi- lent Truman's action, in effect, affirmed this policy = to try to keep the war limited to Korea and to treat Europe, instead of Asia as MacArthur wanted, as the area of decision against Soviet Communism.
 It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway will take over the four-fold conn., hand MacArthur held at Tokyo = Supreme Allied Occupation Commander in Japan, LIN. Com- handler in Chief for Korea, US. Commander in Chief for the Far East, and Commanding General ,f the US. Army in the Far East.
