Blood Donor Recruitment Program Sci

Tomorrow, Thursday, December 6, Juneau will participate all day in a blood donor recruitment pro- gram which will be broadcast on KINY, and the local Red Cross office will receive pledges from 3 to 12 in the morning, to 5 in the afternoon and from ' to g in the evening The phone number is 803.
 All Red Cross chapters have been asked to have telephone coverage during the day set for it's local program, and the day set for Ju- neau is tomorrow. It is the day set for pledging cooperation and willingness to give blood if another blood program is instituted here.
 The blood typing program held in Juneau last year successful. The blood bank, when 750 pints of blood were obtained in a single day, was outstanding and a matter of pride in the local chapter. The present drive is for pledges.
 Simply call the chapter office to- morrow. AS briefly as possible. state your name, telephone number and post office box number, and say that you are willing to give blood if Juneau has another blood program. With only one telephone in use, long conversations cannot be held, so please be brief.
 The need for blood and blood plasma is urgent. The job is to build and maintain a steady supply of blood. The need arises from three main sources: CD Korean combat casualties. CD Replenishing reserve supplies. (3) Concurrent civ ilian hospital Leeds.

Optimistic For COP vitfory

NEW YORK, Dec. - R = Four leading Republicans, divided over possible COP presidential candi- dates in 1852, were united Monday in their optimism for party vic- tory next year.
 The quartet, three governors and a Senator, lashed the Truman Ad- ministration in speeches at $l00- plate Republican fund-raising din- ner.
 But they carefully avoided taking sides, at least for the evening. in the race for the COP presidential nomination. The four were:
 Cows. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and John Lodge of Connecti- cut, who are supporting the candi- dacy of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover.
 Sen. Everett M. Dirksen R-IlD who is Illinois director for the move ment behind Sen Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio). v
 And Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll of New Jersey, who has maintained silence on the nomination fight.
 Dewey, who was host, said "al- most the sole hope of survival of freedom on the earth" lies in a COP victory in 1852.
 In his address, Dirksen described the Truman administrations record as lone of plundering our moral resources, countenancing pale loy- alties, liquidating our vitality at home through spending and taxing policies which destroy incentive and the release of human energies"
 About 1,500 persons attended the dinner.

INV Fish Group profesis Army Fish ConiraCts

SEATTLE, Dec. 5--A second mili- tary contract for salmon and hali- but has been awarded California packing firm which is already un- der investigation for the alleged delivery of spoiled low-grade fish to the army, the Times said to- day.
 Maj. A. R. Benke, aide to Col. J c. Troy, chief of the army's mar ket center here, refused to confirm or deny that a contract had been awarded the Romeo Packing Co, of San Francisco.
 But the Times said the new
 award specifics delivery to the
 nearby Auburn General Depot of 5,OO0 pounds of salmon steaks and 15.0OO pounds of halibut steaks.
 Some 125,00O pounds of the Call ifornia packers fish was seized un- der a federal order late last month on grounds that much of it was contaminated and unfit for human consumption. It was also reportedly dog salmon, much cheaper grade than the specified silver salmon. Much of the shipment was destined for Korea.
 The seizure followed investigation
 by the Food and Drug Administra- ton. Samples have been flown to
 Washington, D. O., for further checks.
 The second award was protested today by the Northwest Fisheries Association, composed of mkjor northwest firms which are quali- fled to bid on army fish contracts.

YugosIavia Reds Release Archbishop

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec. 5 -R-Communist Yugoslavia today gave MSGR. A1ojzicj Stepinac his conditional freedom, making it clear he could not with government ap- proval resume his duties as Roman Catholic Primate of Yugoslavia.
 The official news agency Tanjug announced the spiritual leader of Yugoslavia's seven million Catho- lies would live in parish house at his native village of Krasic, near the Croatian capital of Zagreb.
 MSGR. Stepinac was sentenced five years ago to 16 years in pri- son. He denied the charges of
 wartime collaboration with the
 Axis and postwar plotting to
 overthrow the regime of Premier
 Marshal Tito.
 The 53-year- Archbishop had spent the five years in small two room cell in Crotias Lepoglava prison.
 The official statement referred to him as the former archbishop.
 At his trial, the archbishop re- peatedly told the three-man Con- munist court my conscience is clear" In denying all the charges against him he condemned Com munism and pointed an accusing finger at the court, saying the trial was against the Roman Catholic Church.
 The Tito regime often has said 1t would gladly release MSGR. Stepin- ac if he would leave the country, never to take the archbishop's post in Yugoslavia. There has been in- creasing pressure in the United States and elsewhere for the church. mans release, since the Tito re- gime began moving closer to the west in matters of defense. Sever al U. s. Conigressmen had pleaded with Tito to release the cleric.
 The arrest and trial aroused Catholic mitigation throughout the world.

" ASHINGTON = The Senate hearings have barely scratched the surface of the scandals in the Ohio election in which Senator Taft de- feated Jumpin' Joe Ferguson in 1950 The inside story is that Senate investigators uncovered shocking law violations on both sides.
 Believing that honest elections are the backbone of democracy, this column has obtained copy of the Senate Investigators secret report. It shows wholesale winking at the laws, and should be published as warning to the voters in 1852.
 Here are some blunt statements which conscientious Senate inves- tigators wrote of the Ohio cam- paign:
 Tt was found that the policy of the Ohio Republican Finance com- mittee was against filing reports of contributions received before May I and after election day. This policy appears to constitute a serious ev- asion of state law. Our evidence also indicates that the Ohio Taft

City Can Pay Off
 Bends in 10 Years, Rendritkson Says

Tomorrow qualified Juneau voters will go to the polls to decide the fate of three bond issues: CD $290,- 900 for construction of city hall; @ $287,000 for street improve ments; (0 and $88.000 for improve ments to the fire station and re- building the fire alarm system.
 The polls will be open from am to ' pm. at the Juneau Memorial Library and the Juneau Diaries.
 Any resident who has paid real personal or auto taxes in Juneau is eligible to vote.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson to- day explained that the existing and proposed bonds can be retired over a l0-year period from the revenue acquired from the city sales and service tax. This estimate is based on an annual return of $129,00O.
 The accumulated surplus" Hen drickson said, will, by the end of 1852, be sufficient to meet any con- tingency and by 1855 the surplus based on present returns will en- able the city to retire all outstand- ing bonds remaining in the 1948 street improvement issue which are a 20-year issue. but callable seven years from 1948. The savings in in- terest alone on this one issue will amount to $S1, 1885,"
 He went on to add that the early retirement of the l948 bond issue will reflect an annual saving of sl0000 which can be added to the accumulative surplus to be used to retire additional outstanding bonds as they become callable.

Bartlett Tells
 NFFE He'll Fight For DifferentiaI

speaking to a group of federal employees this noon at the Bara- nof Hotel, F. L. Bartlett, Alaska $ delegate to Congress, left no doubt that the fight on to change the pay differential status of federal en- ployees is a serious one, and told the group that he will continue tc work against any further move tc lower pay standards.
 Delegate Bartlett addressed the end of the year meeting of the National Federation of Federal Employees. He told how amend ments to an act of 1949 threatened to discriminate between persons living in the Territory and those hired outside and sent to the Terri tory. Those amendments, Bartlett explained, would have given the 25 percent differential to those hired outside, but would have withheld 1t from those living in the Territory when hired for federal employment
 Shows Up Twice
 This originally showed up, Bart lett said on the Department of Interior appropriations clause. A fight led by Bartlett and others stopped this, but it showed up again in Department of Agriculture clause. This, Bartlett told, would have had great effect on federal employees in Hawaii and elsewhere. Bartlett said that temporary victory has been won, but declared he would fight it wherever it appeared
 We all know that the cost-of- living difference must be paid if federal activities are to continue in Alaska-otherwise there will be chaos" Bartlett declared.
 Bartlett said that he was satisfied that Congress has recognized the strategic importance of Alaska. and spoke about the millions of dollars now being spent in the Territory for defense.
 Fortunate in Commands
 He said that Alaska has been fortunate in the choice of military commanders in the past and especi- ally praised It. Gen. William E. Kepner. commander chief of the Alaska Command.
 We are extremely fortunate to have a man of the terrific capac- ities possessed by It. Gen. Kepner," Bartlett said. Our defenses are in able hands,
 The local NFFE elected officers for the coming year. They are: Mrs. Katherine Alexander, presi- dent; Ray Nevin, first vice. -presi- dent; Marvin Ripke. second vice. Perry Hobbs, third vice. and Wallace Sharples, secretary treasurer.

Hundreds Dead In Eruption Of Volcano
 Over 800 Bodies Report
 ed Recovered Already
 in Philippine Disaster

MANILA, Dec. 5-LR-The Philip pine News Service tonight said more than 500 bodies had been recover ed from the ash-strewn slopes of Hibok Hibok volcano on Cami- guin Island in the southern Philip pines.
 The volcano erupted twice yes- terday. It still spouted smoke and flames today.
 Gov. Pacienco Ysalina of eastern Misamis Province, who came from nearby Mindana0 Island to take charge of rescue and evacuation, estimated that 2,00O may have died in yesterdays first eruption, which witnesses have called an atomic-like blast.
 Neither the governors estimate nor the news services figure had confirmation.
 Red Cross director of disaster relief, Dr. Joaquin Canuto, radioed headquarters that the dead were being cremated or buried as fast as they were found,
 He said injured were being sent from the stricken northern section of Camiguin to Mahinog on the southeast coast of the island for treatment for soalds and burns.
 Volcanic heat began subsiding and rescue workers were able to penetrate deeper into the ash and lava area.
 The Philippine News Service said 10000 of Camiguin's 45,000 residents had been evacuated to safer areas.
 Constabulary and volunteers stood guard in the very hard hit area to maintain order and prevent loot ing.
 Philippines Air Force Capt. Pedro Los Banos says smoke is still rising from the Assures and gray soil in a nine square mile area on the vol capo slopes.
