CAB Examiner Against Shorter Route To Alaska For Northwest Airlines

ANCHORAGE, LR - A Civil Aeronautics Board examiner has recommended against renewal of Northwest Airlines authority to fly the inside route from the east to Anchorage.
 This route, 27O miles shorter from the east to Anchorage than the route through Seattle, operates via Minneapolis and St. Paul, Ed monton and White Horse
 The examiner, Thomas Wrenn, said however that Northwest should be allowed to continue this inland service until a decision has been reached in the case now be- fore the board on air service be- tween the United States and AL aska.
 A Northwest official said the in land route is shorter but because of equipment limitation it is not faster now. Because of the length of the runways at Edmonton, he said, it is not possible to use Stratocruisers on the inland route. Consequently, DC-4s are used on the once -a-Week schedule and it is as fast and more comfortable, he said, to go by way of Seattle

IKE BARS EXECUTIVE WAR

President Dwight D. Eisenhower made a sgnifi- cant promise to the nation recently when he pledged the Executive Department of the government not to involve the United States in without declaration of war from Congress- Though the Presidents an- nouncement was not considered major news by some, it is highly significant executive pronouncement.
 The statements most immediate implication is a pledge from the President to involve this country in war in IndOchna without action from Congress. Several Congressmen have expressed fears in recent weeks that peceneal commitment of aid to Indochna would eventually lead to the nVolent of small US. forces which, in turn might lead to serious consequent ceS
 The President in effect has promised that this would not be allowed to happen He said very clearly:
 "There is going to be no Involvement of America in unless it is result of the constitutional process that is placed upon Congress to declare it. Now let us have that clear and that is the ansWer

ANCHORAGE, R>-AFL Plumb CTS and steamfitters Saturday re- iected a 15-cent hourly wage in crease offer and contractors said the action likely will lead to closing down of operations at mid night tonight
 Some hope for a settlement was seen when members of the union Local 367 instructed their officials to continue negotiating for 1854 contract but this was remote in view of the announcement by the contractors.
 A management spokesman said the Monday night deadline was set for acceptance and the "offer will be withdrawn" at that time.

US. Marines ''Recapture' Mt. Suribachi In
 Operation Flag Hoist

TWO LIMA, R-American Ma rines Monday 'recaptured" his toric Mt. Suribachi as air, sea and land forces practiced the United States Pacific Sunday punch.
 Gen. John C. Hull, JUN. Far East commander, stood atop the rocky summit as Marines clam bered up during the second day of "Operation Flag Hoist' - the biggest amphibious maneuver in the west Pacific since World War II.
 An estimated 32,O0O friendly" and "aggressor" troops and sail ors are taking part in the exercise on volcanic Two Jima, which first fell to the Marines nine years ago.
 Suribachi was taken in a final plunge beneath curtains of smoke grenades and blank fire from rifles and machine guns. The slopes of the mound-like hill were at times obscured by the realistic smoke.
 The commander of the 3rd Regi- ment, Col Robert H. Williams, was executive officer of the 18th Regiment which seized Suribachi in the original assault against the Japanese.
 "These Haggressors' seem to shoot a lot less than the Japa- nese," Williams said. "This is a lot easier"

Treatment

1redfmen1
 Once symptoms have developed, the disease cannot be cured.
 The prevention of rabies is con- sidered under the following four heads
 l. Treatment of Wound Wounds produced by the bite of a rabid animal should be thor oughly cleaned at once with soap and water, preferably green soap solution. Use a syringe to apply the soapy water with force to the depth of the wound.
 2. Pasteur Treatment for Pre- vention-In all cases where the animal is known to be rabid, or when it cannot be caught and ex- amined, and when the physician believes that actual exposure has occurred, the patient should re- ceive the 14 daily injections known as the Pasteur treatment as soon as possible. This treatment is useless if begun after symptoms appear.
 g. Control of the Disease in Dogs-Compulsory impounding of all stray dogs, the humane de- struction of ownerless dogs, and the intelligent restraint of all oth- CTS are essential steps in the eradi- cation of the disease. The mass vaccination of dogs is recommen- ded and is necessary if the disease is to be eliminated.
 4. Fox Rabies Control-Where fox rabies is serious, the fox pop ulation should be reduced by trap ping, poisoning, and shooting.

terview that was practically

pin, he said he expected to beat
Rocky Castellani. the No. chal-

fight tomorrow night.
Olson's unwillingness to specu-
late on the outcome of any OF
his bouts is well known. But
when he decided to loosen up he
put On. a neat verbal sparring
session with a minimum of hedg-
ing.

Bobo said. Il have trained hard

He has no set plan of battle.

fight Castellani puts up"
Olson was asked what kind of
a fight he expected the chal-
lenger to wage.

the papers, expect him to try
to jab and outspeed me. If that's
what he does, I'll press him all

Most observers think the pull

hands out will win him the
fight. He has cut down most
of his victims with the vicious
attack to the midsection.
Castellani followers scoff at
the lopsided odds favoring the
champion. They see the former
coal miner from Luzerne, Pa,
now a Cleveland resident, as a
winner due to his flashing speed.
Rocky's left jab is superior.
He moves in and out and around
