KETCHIkAN PULP MILL CONTRACT SIGNED
$40 Million CeIIuIose
 p|ant at Wards Cove 10
 Produce 525 Tons Daily

} Alaska's first big year-round in- dustry was assured today with word from Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman that contract has been signed in Washington, D. C.. between the Forest Service and the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Co.
 Heintzleman, regional forester here, said he was informed of these terms:
 The Forest Service contract re- uuired a financial showing of $40,- 100000. This was done with pri- vate money.
 The company under the contract will be given 100000 board feet of timber, mostly on the north end of Prince of Wales Island, west of Ketchikan. A 50-year rotation plan for R perpetual crop is called for. It is the largest sale ever made by the Forest Service.
 The contract says the company must produce 300 tons daily, and within 10 years, 525 tons. The com pany must be in production by Aug. 3, 1954, which means construction of it's proposed plant at Wards Cove. six and a half miles north of Ketchikan, will probably start this fall or winter. he said.
 High grade rayon, cellophane, and nitro -cellhlose will be produced, but no paper.
 Two Parents
 The venture is backed by the parent Puget Sound Pulp and Tim Der CO, of Bellingham, Wash, and the American Viscose Corp. Of Philadelphia The latter, largest rayon producer in the nation, has eight rayon plants in the East.
 The net,en rrrortcd by Heitzle- man prompted Southeastern Alask- ans to observe that the way is now clear for other pulp producers to move in. They predict that other lumber plants. milling Alaska cedar and other fine woods unsuitable for pulp, will move to Ketchikan event. ually.
 The new plant will employ 600 men, with another 600 in the woods for year-round cutting. The firm may use railroad car-ferries to take the pulp to Prince Rupert. B. O., south of here, thence East by rail.
 No Pollution
 '@Fhe operation provides secur- ity against pollution of salmon streams" Heintzleman said.
 He said he understood magnes- ium oxide process would be used to recover chemicals and burn waste for electric power. ~
 The industrial incentive" clause of the Territorial property tax act was adjusted by Tax Commissioner M. P. Mullaney so only one-half of the true valuation will be reek- oned.
 Board of Equalization members Peter Wood and Ernest Parsons, explained that the Ketchikan school district would make the assessment. with the tax commission levying on that figure.
 One of the major features of the agreement is provision for conserv- ation of the areas natural resources This includes handling of the tim Der on a sustained yield cutting plan, safeguarding the salmon spawning streams, prevention or pollution and preservation of scen- ic values.
 Cutting Contract
 The sale was made on the basis of a 50-year cutting contract which expires June 30, 2004. The company agreed to pay 85 cents a hundred cubic feet for timber cut for man.

Final Decision on Non Farm Produce Considered Today

WASHINGTON, July 27, -lR- Senate House .eonferees voted tent atively early today to permit price rollbacks on non-farm commodities to levels which prevailed just be- fore the Korean war-provided cer- tain cost increases are taken into account.
 The tentative decision came near the end of an all-night session of the conference committee, which agreed to extend economic controls legislation through next June. . The extension measure covers wage. price. rent and other emer- gency curbs.
 Final Decision
 Senator Maybank D-S. O the joint committee chairman. told re- porters the group will meet again later today to make final decis- ion regarding the non-farm roll back provision. He said few other provisions also will come up for a final vote then.
 Tine legislation would keep intact the ten per cent beef price roll back already in effect, but would bar additional price cutbacks fol that commodity. The price admin istration planned two more reduc- tions, each Az per cent.
 Tn it's tentative form, the com promise extension bill fell far short of the kind of controls legislation President Truman has requested The separate bills passed earlier. by the Senate and House were. minus most of the additional controls authority which the president sought.
 Credit Controls
 The conferees also approved more liberal consumer credit controls than the Federal Reserve Bank Board now has in effect, covering the installment purchase of new anc used cars automobiles and sucr household items as radios and tel eyision sets.
 The administration won at ieas' one victory when the conferee' agreed to permit rent roiibacks t' levels which prevailed just before the Korean war, in newly desig- mated critical defense areas.
 Final Votes
 The compromise bill produced by the Senate-H House conference com mittee must go back to both cham bers for final votes before going tt MT. Truman to be signed into law. The conference committee I working under the gun, Control legislation expires July 3l unles

MAULED
CHINESE
Retreat
Counter Attacking Ameri-
cans Smash -Four Miles
Into Heart OF Reds

Concentrating Americans to-
day smashed four miles into the
heart of a Korean Red stronghold
in East~Central Korea. Hundreds
of Communists were killed.
On the Central and Western
fronts, the badly mauled Chinese
withdrew from the battlelines.
1t. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway
said his Allied forces had won
decisive victory on these fronts. But
he said the Chinese Reds have
enough massed troops to prevent a
successful Allied crossing north of
Parallel 38 if the Reds commit them.
UN troops established a small
bridgehead on the north bank of
the Han River five miles east of
Seoul but were driven back by Red
mortar and machinegun fire.
The Allies advanced all along the
Western front, as much as four
miles in some areas. Their lines
were jammed solidly up to the south
bank of the Han near the ruins of
the Korean capital.
The commander of the U. S.
Eighth Army reported a decisive
victory over the Chinese and North
Korean Reds. The enemy lost tens
OF thousands in dead and wounded,
while Allied losses were relatively
light.
General RidgWay said magnifi-
cent stand by American and French
forces at Chipyong Thursday broke
the back of a five-day Red drive TO
smash through the Allied lines. To-
day the enemy had pulled back in
the 70-mile area between the west
coast and Womb on the Central
front.
Associated Press Correspondent
Russell Brines said the Allies
achieved a brilliant local victory by
setting off an enemy trap without
getting caught in it. The Reds tried
to lead the UN forces across the
Han and into Seoul, then cut them
off by encir6 ling the Allies and
taking Womb, the key highway
town 35 miles southeast of Seoul.
But the Reds ran into massed Al
lied firepower in depth, the stout
American French garrison held
Chipyong north of Womb and the
enemy failed to accomplish his OBJ
jective.

EFFORT MADE:
AVERT CRISIS
MOBILIZATION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 --tR-
President Truman talked over with
congressional leaders + day the
crisis growing out of tie dispute
between his mobilization. planners
and labor union leaders.
House Speaker Raybun D-Tex)
told reporters after the White House
meeting the controversy was dis
cussed sin a general way" He add
ed that he imagines Mr.. Truman is
keeping in close touch with Mobil
ization Chief Charles E. Wilson on
the matter
Mr.. Truman may have to step in
to mediate the wrangle which
threatens to snarl the nations de-
Tense program. Rayburn reported,
however, that nothing was said at
todays meeting about any confer
ence between the President and the
labor union chiefs.
Organized labor's support Of the
present program with possible
political significance as well - was
in the balance. A meeting of the
major labor groups = the AFL, CLIO
and Railroad Unions - cooperating
as the United Labor Policy Com
mittee CULPC) was set for this aft
ernoon.
There was strong sentiment
among the ULPC members, repre-
senting nearly all of the 100000
workers in labor unions except John
IL. Lewis miners and four railroad
unions, to ditch the whole admin
istration program.
That could lead to widespread
strikes and disruption OF defense
| planning.

On
Statehood Is
Storm Center
Appearance Of Measure at
Top Of calendar
Starts Fireworks
BULLETIN - The Alaska State
hood bill failed to pass the House
this afternoon by vote of IL to IL.

The appearance OF II. M. &c - a
memorial urging that the Alaska
Statehood bill be reported to the
u. S. Senate without further COM
mittee hearings = at the very head
of the House calendar this morn
ing touched off a stormy debate on
parliamentary procedures.
The memorial, now in third read
ing, had not gone to vote when the
House recessed at 1920 today, but
was expected to reach that final
stage soon after 80 when the
blouse was to go back into session.
Some observers believed that
there might be notice of recon-
federation, which would hold the
measure over another day.
When the morning session open
ed, Speaker William Egan announc'
ed that there had been change in
the days calenIar and that the
1.ules Committee. s1ting under au-
enority of the House ,Sules, had adj
vanced H. M. % to the lead of the
calendar in third reading.
Protest Made
Rep. Doris Barnes Immediately
pointed to another rule setting up
the order of business for the House.
This rule provides that second read
ing of bills shall come before third
reading of bills.
Mrs. Barnes contended that the
Rules Committee does not have pow
err to alter this order of business
without a suspension of the rules.
All the Rules Committee can do,
She said, is to rearrange bills within
their respective brackets on the or
der of business.
Rep. Frank Johnson said he does
not believe the Rules Committee
should be given the power to juggle
bills and the order of business of
the House and that this power might
react against the interests OF MEM
oers who do not have influence with
the committee.
Speaker Egan ruled that under
existing rules the committee has
the power and that he considered
The advancement of H. M. 26 in
order.
IT feel that this is very high
handed action and appeal the rul-
ing of the chair" said Rep. George
Miscovich.
Rep. Kay objected that the
Speaker was merely interpreting the
rule book and that there was no
point upon which to base an appeal.
This matter was referred to the
Rules Committee. After a lengthy
session Chairman McCutcheon re-
ported that it has decided, with one
dissenting vote, that the Speaker
had correctly interpreted the rules
but that Miscovich had the right
of appeal.
The ruling of the chair was sus-
