Marines Win Back Vegas Outpost From Red Spring Feeler Drive

SEOUL, LR - South Korean troops threw back Chinese Red drive on Christmas Hill on the eastern front in a driving snow fall today as US. Marines dug in firmly on bloody outpost Vegas in the west.
 Entrenched Marines on smoul- dering Vegas had won back the outpost at dawn Saturday after being knocked off three times in the Reds bloody spring feeler drive on the western front last week.
 First Marine Division headquar- ters released these figures, giving picture of the intensity of the Vegas fighting.

Beta Sigs Report On School Hot
 Lunch Program

The Beta Sigma Phi hot lunch program for school children ended last Friday after being operated II weeks during January, Febru- ary and March, continuing one month longer than it did last year.
 During this period 4,526 chil- dren received servings of soup, pilot bread and hot chocolate, at a total expense of $892.25. The average cost per meal per child was 1894 cents. The difference be- tween this and the 5 cents paid by each child was covered by the sorority and donations by inter ested parties.
 An average of 82 lunches per day were served, with a high of 125 on March g. Fewer children were served during the early part of February probably due to the illness prevalent at that time.
 This civic project was started last year by the sorority and is made possible by the cooperation of the community. The sorority's most active member on the proj- ect has been Mrs. G. R. Jackson, who as chairman, attended to all arrangements, ordering, etc., and personally managed the serving of the lunches until the middle of February. At that time Mrs. Steve Anderson took over. Mrs. Ander- son did very capable job and the sorority wish to extend their appreciation to her.
 Helpful assistance was given also by the following: Mrs. Boyd

Heintzleman Says Alaska Native Schools Will All Be Closed By 1860

WASHINGTON, R- The new governor of Alaska says the Blu reau of Indian Affairs could pull out of Alaska ''in a very short time" except for possible need among the Eskimos.
 B. Frank Heintzleman told the Senate Interior Committee re- gently that Indian schools "are fast being abolished and I think the hospitals might well be taken over by the Public Health Ser vice" His testimony has just been made public by the committee.
 He explained he has no close personal knowledge of Eskimos and therefore could not comment on what possible need they might have for continued service from the bureau.
 The incoming governor spoke highly of the results of mixing Indians and whites in Alaskan schools. The program has been "a decided success" he said, adding he understood that by 1860 there will be no strictly native schools left.
 "Three or four of the school superintendents- told me-" he con tinued; ''when the Indian young sters first came in they could hardly look the principal in the eye. But after six months they come in and talk to me- one said, just like the white youngsters 7

 Chapple had proposed jail for the Virginia born English vis- countess for her ema ark at a Washington party Wednesday. Watching Sen. Mccarthy R-Wis) sip a drink, Lady Astor said: ''Too bad it isn't poispn."

Mccarthy Accused Undermining Exec. Agencies

WASHINGTON, R-Harold E. Stassen, Mutual Security director, today accused Sen. MacCarthy R- Wis) and the Senate investigations subcommittee of undermining" the work of executive agencies seeking to cut off trade between the west to Iron Curtain areas.
 You are in effect undermining and harmful to our objective" Stassen told Mccarthy to his face at a televised hearing of Me Carthy's subcommittee.
 There was sharp edge in Stas- sens voice as he spoke.
 Stassen was referring to Me Carthy's announcement Saturday that the subcommittee staff had negotiated an agreement with Greek owners of PAP ships that they would break off, all trade With North Korea ana tCommun- ist China.
 McCarthy's move had raised a constitutional question, since it is the President who is charged with the conduct of foreign affairs un der, the Constitution Eer,:.... It was not clear: whether Me Carthy's subcommittee in by passing the. executive branch of government to negotiate,,anaa agree ment with foreigners had in- fringed upon presidential prero- gative. + -s--+., ..-

Premier of China Offers Plan To
 End Korean War
By JOHN RANDOLPH

TOKYO, REPremier Chou En- Lai of Communist China last night offered plan to end the war in Korea similar to the Indian pro- posal before the United Nations which Chou once coldly rejected.
 It also resembled plan ad- vanced by Allied negotiators at Panmunjom last year.
 Peiping broadcast a statement by the Red premier-the second apparently conciliatory move by the Reds in four days mn which proposed:
 l. Let all prisoners of war go home who choose to return.
 2. Turn over to neutral state"-Chou did not name the state-all prisoners who refuse to go home.
 3. The neutral state would al- low representatives of each side to explain to the prisoners what their decision would mean.
 Like their agreement last week to exchange sick and wounded prisoners, this indicated a more conciliatory attitude. But Chou raised doubts as to whether the Communists ever. would accept voluntary repatriation of prison CTS, the only issue blocking an armistice.

Record of First COP Legislature In 20 Years
By JIM HUTCHINSON

LAP Le91Slaave IorfeSponoenu
 JUNEAU, R-Most of the mem bers of Alaska's first Republican controlled legislature in 20 years made their exit from Juneau over the weekend. What kind of record did they leave behind for the 50 days?
 A review of the record shows these session highlights:
 Taxes-No new ones enacted.
 Tax Reductions Levies were cut on canneries and gold mining after both were described in floor discussions as "sick" industries of the territory.
 The territorial general property tax was repealed; the fishing boat tax which some cities collected under the territorial law was slashed, and the nonresident fish ermen's license fee was cut from $50 to $10 under court edict.
 Appropriations - The general appropriations bill of $23, ,594 1892 is a record high. About 141s mil lion of it is for education-in support of public schools, the $500 teachers salary increase, $700,000 for rural school buildings and nearly $3,OOO,OOO for the Univer- sity. Indications were that appro- priations would run beyond reve- nues and the present surplus in the treasury will come in handy for touch.
 Law Enforcement = Created new department of Territorial Po- lice; voted to double penalties against traffickers in narcotics; frightened penalties for car thefts.
 Board Changes-Overrode Gov. Gruening's veto of bill to wipe Employment Security Commis- sion slate clean and start over

Eklutna Project Practices Termed Shocking, Sinking g
By MORRIS cLEAvENcER

WASHINGTON, R-Chairman Miller R-Neb) of the House h. terior Committee terms Reclama- ton Bureau practices in building the Eklutna power project near Anchorage, shocking, deplorable and Stinking."
 Miller said preliminary investi- gations show that former Secre- tary of Interior Oscar L. Chap man, through the Reclamation Bureau, "contracted for over IS million dollars above the amount appropriated by Congress for the Eklutna project.
 In his statement, Miller said that if private individuals did what Chapman and Straus for- mer Reclamation Commissioner did they would be tossed in jail.''
 "The whole rotten deal is downright shocking and deplor- able" Miller added.
 You are sure that these stink ing practices won't be allowed as long as I am chairman"
 In stating that the committee is considering referring the matter to the Attorney General, Miller said:
 "Of course this might be closing the door after the horse is gone, but it will certainly act as a warning that practices such as these will not be condoned or Whitewashed."
 An official memorandum pre- pared by the staff of the Interior Committee and testimony given at recent hearings show the face value of contracts entered into by the Reclamation Bureau on the Eklutna project is below the amount actually appropriated by Congress.
 At one time, however, the Blu reau had awarded contracts with a face value of about 3 million dollars above the authorized ex- penditure for Eklutna. There were revised downward last year after an Interior Committee investiga- ton and on the basis of ruling from the Comptroller General.

Inaugural Balls Started
In Dolly Madison's $ Time

when they announced that
tickets would be $40. A citi-
zens' committee promptly or
ganized the Peoples Tippe-
canoe Ball" for inaugural
night, with tickets S. each.
AS a result of this wrangle
over ticket prices, the first
official Inaugural Committee
was formed, but it concerned
itself chiefly with arrange
mentS for the Harrison inau-
gural parade.
That year, Washington had
two Inaugural Balls-the Tip
pecanoe IS ball in Carusi's and
the $40 ball planned by the
Wings in an old theater build
ing on Louisiana avenue NV,
which had been refitted for use
as an assembly hall.
Dresses worn by White House
hostesses to inaugural events
have remained elegant through
the years, but In recent times
there has been more emphasis
on classic lines and less on
ribbons, elaborate beading and
fringeS.
Although Mrs. Truman wore
black velvet four years ago,
most of the President s wives
have chosen pastel shades for
their inaugural dresses, be-
ginning with Dolly Madison
in yellow satin and continuing
to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, in
changeable ivory satin.
Perhaps the most severe
gown ever worn to an inau-
gural dance was that of Mrs.
James Findlay, White House
hostess for william Henry
Harrison. Hers was a deep
brown velvet, trimmed with an
embroidered cotton collar and
cuffs and its effect was not
softened by her features,
which were rather stern.
Another somber gown was
that of Mrs. Franklin Pierce,
whose husband was in the
White House during the pre-
Civil War turbulence. It was
made of black tulle with silver
dots, worn over black taffeta.
Washington had accustomed
itself to variety in Inaugural
Balls, but yet was not ready
for what took place the night
of March 4, 1878, when a
blizzard struck the celebrating
city. It was President Grants
second Inaugural Ball. A huge
temporary hall had been
erected in Judiciary Square,
but it was so cold that the
refreshments froze and the
ladies had to dance In their
wraps. WV.

Tickets cost three times as
huch. The ladies' gowns are
nuch less elaborate, and there

encer, a newspaper, carried

Tickets to the Truman In

ill be $12, including tax.
It cost IS to get into the
ackson Inaugural Ball in

on were so bad the Govern
lent had to give away cords

brtunate warm.
President jackson, because
