Search Continues For Airplane Of Wealthy Oil Man

KETCHIKAN, LR - With no clues to go on except a cold air trail and thousands of miles to be searched, planes of two nations continued an international air search Wednesday for a wealthy family of four and their 17-year- old passenger who vanished Mon day night.
 Nothing but negative reports were received yesterday as, one after another, two United States Coast Guard planes and three Canadian Air Force bombers, landed at Annette Island

Red Charges of Brutality Met By Blunt JUN Denial

PANNGUNJOM, UP - The LIN. Command Wednesday bluntly denied Communist charges that prisoners have been brutally treated. It told the Reds the phys ical condition of repatriated POWs proved the accusation was 'dis- tortion of the truth"
 The denial was made at a meet ing of a POW Repatriation Com mission and answered Communist charges leveled last Friday.
 Col. L. c. Friedersdorff, chief Allied delegate, said the Red ac- cusations of brutality were ':in- tended to discredit the JUN. Com mand." The Reds had charged the allies with a multitude of in humane acts - from using toxic gas to food poisoning.
 Friedersdorff also took a slap at Communist Red Cross workers, who reportedly have been acting as propaganda agents for the Reds.
 'It is obvious from their actions that some of them are attempting to engage in activities exceeding the purely humanitarian mission with which they are charged" he declared. "We have no intention of permitting them to engage in such activities"

Supporters of Statehood For Alaska Say Mismanagement by Washington Is Fast Depicting Territory's Resources

JUNEAU, R- The Senate In terior Committee group hearing Alaskans on their attitude toward statehood heard nine in favor of giving the huge territory the stature of a state Tuesday morn ing and two who expressed oppo- sition to immediate statehood.
 Carl Heinmiller of Chilkoot at Haines, who came north after World War II, said the young peo- pie of the territory are willing to take a chance on statehood and it's cost. He said, however, he fav- ored providing tax incentives for industry.
 John Doyle, an Alaska resi- dent for the past year who was an aide to former Governor Err nest Gruening, advocated state hood but said he was opposed to a proposal to elect a governor for the territory. "This only a sop," he told the committee.
 R. J. Sommers, longtime Alaska resident and former highway en- gineer, spoke against statehood. He said he doubted the ability of the territory to pay it's costs and cited declining mining and fish ing industries among his req sons.
 Actually, there was little in the way of new argument on either side presented at the Tuesday hearing.
 Sen. Hugh Butler, the commit tee chairman, said before the hearing opened that he felt there had not been any new testimony, either for or against statehood, at the Monday Ketchikan hearing, either.
 One fisherman testified that he felt Alaska needed statehood to "get out of control of the salmon business and the Fish and Wildlife Service"

for Committee group opened the second phase of it's Ion the road'' statehood hearing Here Tuesday after statehood supporters out numbered the opponents in testi- mony at Ketchikan Monday.
 However, the committee chang ed a rule to allow Mrs. Mildred Hermann, secretary of the Alaska Statehood Committee, to appear as as pro-statehood witness despite her having appeared at statehood hearings in Washington, DC. The committee agreed to hear her testimony here on estimated costs of statehood after questions of the costs were raised in the Ketchikan hearing.
 Witnesses who testified at Ketchikan against statehood now" said they favored it after the territory gains more new in dustries.
 Editor Emery F. Tobin of the Alaska Sportsman magazine said he feared the cost of statehood reflected by taxes would deter new industries.
 Sen. Jackson O-Wash) respond ed that the record showed no in dustries came to Alaska during the period of few taxes and since Alaska has no property tax, new industries would pay chiefly on profits, as tn ey would in the states.
 Supporters of statehood said chances for Alaska joining the Union are being threatened by mismanagement of resources, such as fisheries which are fast being depleted. Several declared local control through statehood is the only way to save them.
 Merchant Harry Cowan asserted the director of the Fish and Wild life Service bypassed several hear ings in Ketchikan while he was in the area, indicating a lack of in- terest in conservation.
 Mrs. Robert A. Ellis said her great grandfather fled Germany to New York over a century ago to escape taxation and conscrip- ton without representation. She added although her grandfather was the second man from New York to join the Union Army; her husband served four years in the Navy in World War II and her son is in the Navy now, she is in the same predicament in Alaska as. was her great-grand- father in Germany.
 Mrs. Ellis charged that fed
 eral interest in Alaska prob
 lens is on the wane, instead of
 on the increase, citing a two-
 year pileup of court cases at
 Anchorage which lacks a fed
 eral judge.
 A Ketchikan attorney, L. o. Gore, opened testimony for the bloc opposing statehood. Gore re- presents several Alaska salmon
