COrdOva Clam Pack l,5OO,OOO Pounds

CORDOVA, (P) - Cordova's s razor clam pack, which represents 85 per cent of the total Pacific Coast domestic pack, wound up this week with 1,5O0,OOO pounds being taken from nearby beaches.
 Clamdiggers got a 20 per cent raise this year, to Is cents a pound, and will collect close to $250,000, the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service estimated.
 Cannery workers, who got a 15 per cent acroSs-the-board increase also will glean about $250,000.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service also said the red salmon catch is picking up with indications of a fair season. Distribution among fishermen will be bad this year, however, as there was an unusual influx of outside and other Alaska district fishermen.
 The service estimated there was approximately 100 miles of nets on the fishing grounds, or more than double the normal amount.

Government Orders New Cut In Auto Production

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e government, Saturday, ordered a new cut in auto production on July 1. It will limit output to about 100000 cars during the July-September period.
 The National Production Au- thory said the order, completely revising auto industry controls, will mean reduction of about one third or more from the nearly 1,900,000 cars produced during the same July-September quarter 1y period a year ago.
 It will allow about 100000 fewer cars than the estimated l,4OO,OOO units being produced in the current April-June quarter.

LOCAL LICENSE OFFICE CALLS ATTENTION TO LAW ON
 DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS

The local Territorial license authority called attention to the territorial law on driving on pub lie thoroughfares, due to the fact that there have been several acci- dents in the last few days.
 The U. s. Marshall's Office, Territorial License Officer, and municipal authorities are charged with the enforcement of t h e Alaska traffic laws when no reg ular patrolmen are available.
 Over the weekend there were two serious car accidents, one just beyond the Red Hangar and the other near the Dry Creek bridge just beyond the Hospital. In one of the cars, which over turned, there were reported to be several children. Fortunately no one was seriously injured.

.AchesOn
Acheson Possibility That Korean War Will
 End In Stalen1ate

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of State Acheson said Saturday a naval blockade of Red China is under constant planning" but it is not practical at this time to seek United Nations backing for one.
 Testfying at the Senate's Mac Arthur inquiry, Acheson also said the United States is mot going to allow" Formosa ito be taken by force"
 And he called British Hong Kong a place of importance whose fall to the Communists would have "a very adverse influ ence" on U. S. interests.
 He was asked about the White House conferences which led to the removal of Macarthur on April II from his Far Eastern commands. But Acheson, who took part in the talks, refused to tell what was said at them. He said his stand was taken on direct i'm struction" from President Tru- man.
 As to prospects for an end to the Korean war. AcheSOn said he knows of no present peace moves. He said there is poSSibility-but called it not the most likely one that the fighting will end in a Stalemate.
 Calling "stalemate" an ''un- pleasant Word," Acheson said there was a possibility of a set clement 'on the basis of mutually known strengths"
 MacArthur, in opposing Tru- man administration policy in Ko- req, contended it promised only a "bloody stalemate."
 At the time the United States intervened in Korea, President Truman ordered the U. s. Sev- enth Fleet to "neutralize" For mosa, the island where the Chin ese Nationalist government took refuge when the Communists drove it from the mainland.
 Acheson said it is altogether possible" the Communists could make landings on Formosa despite efforts of the U. s. Seventh Fleet to prevent it.

 If the trouble in Persia to boil over, and if the Persian government to go to the length of stopping crude oil supplies altogether it would in the short be serious matter for this country But in the long the Persian cannot afford not to sell it's oil

Truman Signs Bill
Extending Rent Curb
In District One Year

President Truman yesterday
signed legislation extending Dis.
trict rent control for one year
with some changes in the old Law
which expired last midnight.
Maximum increases of 20 pei
cent are provided over the 1941
rates, to become effective on the
day the landlord files his applica-
ton for such raises with the Dis
trict rent administrator.
Any raises in rent. however
made effective since 1941 must be-
subtracted from the 20 per cent
authorized.
Housing constructed since 1913
which has never been controlled
would come under curbs, as OF
January l of this year.
A person buying a unit in a CO.
operative apartment project could
get possession and move in as soor
as he paid 80 per cent of the price

District Bar Association president
said yesterday his organization
takes the stand that the District
bench should be made up of men
identified with the capital legal
profession and that to judge from
the more recent appointments
the administration inclines to that
view.
McGrath's Word Awaited.
At the White House, it was said
that nothing would be done about
filling the vacancy until Attorney
General McGrath had been heard
from. The White House has re-
'ceived "a few letters" in the
interest of various candidates.
The Democratic National Com
mittee, which usually passes on
judicial candidates, has taken no
part>in the present race, according
to committee spokesman. But the
committee too, has been hearing
from hopefuls.
Earlier there was some thought
that President Truman would be
in no hurry to fill the bench
vacancy because the court will
not be functioning normally until
October. But word at the White
House yesterday was that an
early appointment could be looked
for.
The names of some Justice
Department officials have figured
in the speculation about the post,
but department sources said yes
terday that an appointment from
that quarter was unlikely.

Washington and st. Louis have

Comparison With States.
In comparison to the separate
States, however, the District really
is in a jam.
If each resident stood long
enough to be counted in a pei
capita measured spot within the
District line, he or she theoretically
would occupy about one-twentieth
Iof an acre of land.
The experience of density is not
new, but the story this year is
|denser. According to the 1910
census, the District had 10,870
persons to the square mile. In
1920 it had 1892 and in 1900 the
figure was 4,645.
Average for U. s. Is 5O.7.
The Districts population density
shoves the national average almost
off the lot. The average for the

Senator WeIker Seeks
Full Explanation Of
Judge CockriII Action.
By Miriom Ottenberq

Senator Welker, Republican, OF
Idaho, said last night he will
recommend that Juvenile Court
Judge Edith H. Cockrill be asked
for full explanation" of the &C
tons that have prompted three
court designations.
Senator Welker is a member of
the three-man judiciary subcom-
mittee of the Senate District Com
mittee. which will consider a pro-
posed amendment to make Juvenile
Court information available to
community agencies.
The amendment was drawn up
at the District Building after Judge
Cockrill's secrecy order shut off
court information. Judge Cockrill
said she did not have the judicial
discretion to make this informa-
ton available although her prede-
cessors had done so.
Supervisor Resigns.
Senator Welker's latest criticism
of the judge was prompted by the
resignation Friday of Mrs. Grace
w. Bell, a court supervisor, who
charged that the judges narrow
focus on the rigid Interpretation of
the law" has ignored human
needs, in spite of every indication
that such action would speed up
the breakdown of the Individual
or family"
eve have heard all too much
about the malfunctioning of this
court" Senator Welker said. "It
is time for the Judge to stand up
and justify these actions, If she
can. If not, the Juvenile Court
will slip into more disrepute."
Senator Welker said he will ask
a judicial examination" to find
out what is going on at Juvenile
Court and will propose that Judge
Cockrill be called before the sub
committee for questioning.
Were going to get to the bot
tom of this" Senator Welker de-
clared. she's going to have to
do some explaining"
AS for the proposed amendment
to permit certain agencies to get
court information, Senator Welker
reiterated his opposition to letting
the judge decide whether to release
the courts files. He said any
amendment he supports will spell
out her duties letter for letter."
I'm frankly convinced" he said,
shat she doesn't know what Judi
cial discretion is"
Cites Letters Received.
"She isn't going to have any
more chance to wreck the judicial
functions of that court" he added.
He said he had got numper of
letters from District residents ia
voring a congressional look att
the court. He also commented
that on the record alone, there
is shocking evidence to all the Dis
trict of the malfunctioning of the
court"
Senator Welker and Senator
Clements. Democrat, of Kentucky,
have decided to wait until the re-
turn of their subcommittee chair
man, Senator johnson of South
Carolina, before, going into tie
proposed amendment. Senator
johnson is due to return from his
home State Tuesday.

Early Bird Plans Win Soap Box Derby Title

II Don Sheets hadn't won the
tenth Washington Soap Box
Derby, the stitch in time saves
nine" philosophy would have been
knocked into a cooked hat, so far
as he was concerned.
Don, a 15-year-old Washington
Lee High School student who does
math problems over two or three
times to make sure he under
stands them, started planning fol-
the 1851 Derby shortly after he
was eliminated in the third heat
last year.
A veteran of three Washington
IDerbies-1947, 1949 and 1950-he
studied the cars he used in those
races to find their flaws.
Begins New Car.
Then. last August, he started
Ia new car in the basement OF his
home at 919 North Randolph
street, Arlington.
His brakes had been bad, he
recalled trait shared by an even
earlier Sheets car. In 1948, his
brother, Russell, now II, smashed
into an auto when his brakes
failed to keep him from running
past the barracade at the end of
the race course. Later the same
day, in hastily repaired car, Ras-
sell hit a policeman's motorcycle.
Same trouble. A year after, Rus
sells f1ashy red. white and blue
racer went out of control and hit
ia course-side rock garden.
So Don installed both foot and
hand brakes in his new car.
BY the end of September he
was f1nished-and satisfied.
II started early so would have
plenty of time to work if I ran
into any trouble" he said yester-
day.
Spins Wheels in Winter.
During the winter, he spent his
odd hours spinning the wheels of
the Car and keeping them we'll
fabricated.
Meanwhile, he went ahead plan
ming his life as he planned his car.
II always try to be little ahead
of time on everything I do" he
said yesterday, after his sleek
black-racer, BLACK Lightning, /"
slipped down the Pennsylvania
Avenue race course a full length
ahead of the other finalists, James
Potter, II, of 2049 Thirty-fourth
street Sc.
Il even get to school little
ahead of time" he grinned, al
though admitting that he shaved
these appointments lust a little
close"
But Don was well ahead of time
when he appeared at the National
Guard Arnory Wednesday night
when his car was due for inspec-
ton. And he was back just as
early the next night, to fix a steer
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-07-01

So he borrowed a pair Of fat
Iheeled sneakers from Bobby
Rogers, IA, of 5512 Huntington
parkway, Bethesda.
Don's planning was interrupted
just before the last race. however.
He'd decided he should spin his
wheels several times before taking
off for the city championship.
There wasn't time. Radio station
WMAL, The Evening Star station,
was ready to broadcast the final
race.
So Don took off, still wondering
If he shouldn't have taken more
time with that final tune-up.
He needn't have worried. Thirty
two and one-tenths seconds later,
IDon's careful planning paid off.
