Korean Situation At A Glance =.
Thursday. January ls. 1850 CBy The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 Strong Red Chinese force fights blazing battle with probing U. N. troops inside Kumyangjang on West Korean front. Allied forces fall back to evade Red trap. In- creasing signs of communist oten- sive buildup all across the penin- sula.
 The threat of an all-out com munist push coincided with Red China's rejection of United Ma tions' cease-fire proposals. An emergency meeting of the U. N. political committee has been call- ed today to consider Peiping's re- jection of the peace bid.
 The United States delegation prepared to introduce a resolution which would condemn communist china as an aggressor. The Ameri- cans fear a collapse of the collec- tive security principal if aggres- sion is allowed to go unpunished.
 There were indications the U. N. course of action on Red China threatens to split the free world.
 In Washington, secretary of state Dean Acheson and other top off cials are said to be keenly aware of the dangers of a showdown and are proceeding with caution to draft in cooperation with other na- tions a U. N. resolution indicting the Reds.
 In Paris yesterday, India'S prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, pow CT in Asia, said that to brand China as an aggressor would bolt and bar the door to peaceful settle ment" in the Far East.
 This indicated that India and at least part of the bloc she leads might not go along with the U. N. anti-communist bloc in further di- rect action against communist China. :,

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE 2Oth LEGISLATURE JUNEAU, ALASKA

The following report has been prepared by the Legislative Com mittee of the Chamber of Com- merce and will be presented to the Legislators who convene next week in Juneau.
 The committee is composed of T. Duffield, chairman; A. Polet and Gordon Osborne.
 We respectfully submit to you for your consideration and support the program for Alaska and espe- cially the portion that deals with the Second Division.
 This program has been careful ly considered and studied by com mittee; it has been adopted at a regular meeting and endorsed in our public forum.
 Our Chamber has assembled a large amount of data and facts in support of these measures, but in the interest of brevity we have adopted this short form, we know that the detailed information, ref erences and the laws of the Terri tory are available to you in Jun- eau, we know that the material facts are in your possession. Should you be in need of any spe- cial detailed information on any of these measures as they come up for consideration, or our opinion on any bill, wire us collect and we will furnish the information glad ly at our own expense.
 Before proceeding with the compilation of the needs of North western Alaska, we wish to make the following observations.
 Nome and Northwestern Alaska are justified in the pessimistic at- titude which has prevailed this fall due to the action of our Mill tary leaders, but since the organ ization of our Civil Defense and National Guard units, and follow ed by the large and enthusiastic and responsive attendance, new spirit has developed.
 The pessimistic and fearful few have either drifted away or have adopted an optimistic air and will ingness to help and cooperate.
 We are therefore convinced that supreme effort should be under taken and a constructive program should be adopted and presented to carry out in this coming Ses- sion.

NEEDS OF NOME AND NORTHWESTERN ALASKA

The Second Division is facing a very much complicated situation. Our wants are many and our prob lens have not been urged or pro- perly presented for consideration. We hope that at this time we may succeed in obtaining your undi- vided support for the good of our Division.
 We have been promised by all of our Legislators who will be sworn; in this Session that they will forget personal, party and frivolous disagreements, and look after the vital interests of our Di- vision. We wish to point out that we do not expect for you to waive the magic wand and cause every one to stand aside and get us all we want; we know that you will be against a stiff opposition. All Divisions have needs and prob lems, our are just as urgent and

County Council
Says No" To
History Group

The County Council announced
on Tuesday it could not grant the
request of the Montgomery County
Historical Society that the former
county almshouse on Seven Locks
Road near Rockville be given the
Society for museum and meeting
place.
In view Of the great growth of
the county there are recreationaI
and other needs to be met, for
which the home and its 1870 acres
OF ground may be needed, Presi-
dent j. Louis Monarch said. He
praised the Historical group for its
initiative in trying to preserve the
grass roots of county industry and
culture, and regretted the Council
could not aid the project at this
time.
On March 18th group, headed
by Mrs. Jesse w. Nicholson of
Chevy Chase, president of the
county Historical Society, asked
that the home be used as site for
the display of the tools with which
the county was built. It was sug-
gested that the farm might be used
as place TO preserve the fast dis
appearing horse and oxen drawn
wagons, carts and carriages--the
agricultural implements and hand
tools now being sold for junk; TO
set up the blacksmith and wheel
wright shops and provide a place
to exhibit the first efforts in manu-
facture and arts.
II was also suggested that coun-
ty archives might be housed there
as well as the many historical
articles and papers the county his
torians have acquired.

Old Festival OF
Jewish Faith To
Be Marked Here

Passover, the oldest festival of
the Jewish faith, will begin at sun
down Friday. For Orthodox and
Conservative Jews the festival will
be observed for eight days, with
the first two and the last two as
holy days. Among Reform Jews
the holiday lasts only seven days

munity Center 2901 East West

commemorate the deliverance of
the children of Israel from bondage
in Egypt thousands of years ago.

vance is the home service or Seder.
Special foods are served at the
Seder, which takes place on the
first two nights of the holiday.
They include Matzoh or unleaven-
ed bread, which is eaten through
out the festival, wine, a boiled egg,
bitter herbs, a roast lamb shank,
fruit and nuts and cinnamon.
At this rite the Haggadah, which
tells the story of the escape from
Egypt to the promised land, is
read. The youngest child asks
four questions about Passover
which are answered by the head

temples in recent weeks young
sters have been learning about the

indicated by the few inquiries re-
ceived at police headquarters.
"They had read about it in the
papers," Gen. Wooley said. A
few complaints of not being able
to hear the sirens were received.
In Rockville, as soon as the
firemen received the alert from the
police they called in their men
with fire call, alerted the head
quarters in the office of Mayor and
Council, who in two minutes had
completed calls to all key person
mel, including the Director of De-
Tense in Rockville, Col. j. M.
Chambers who was in Washington.
James R. Miller, Deputy Direc-

showed that at least two more
sirens would be required in Rock
