Hodge Urges Nome To Participate in
 Alaska City League

The Nome City Council had busy session last Monday evening with many reports being given.
 Highlight of the meeting was talk on the League of Alaskan Cities by Judge Walter Hodge who urged the city to participate in this organization as fine source of exchange of ideas for local government on many prob lems. He stated that each city has a vote regardless of size. All in- corporated cities of the territory are now members except those of the extreme southeast, and Nome which is the farthest west. Last year he stated there were discus sion panels on city planning, plot ting, health and many other sub- jects with specialists in these fields assisting the panels. Nome is missing something, he said, by not participating.
 The Fire Department reported four calls for the month with two of them total losses. $107 was paid out in volunteer firemen fees.
 The Police Department report ed fines collected to the amount of $413.
 The Health Department report ed 85 x-rays taken and one TB patient sent to the Anchorage ANS hospital
 Chief of Police Herb Jenks stated that a dog pound would be erected at the east end of town for all stray dogs caught.
 Five applications for the posi- ton of police chief were received and the temporary plan was con- tinued until the next regular meeting.
 The playfield equipment was checked for repairs to be made soon.
 The mayor announced that Pete Sandvik would survey Third Ave. for the necessary change needed in connection with the construc- tion of the new school addition.

French Hit Vietminh in Red River Delta With U.S.-Supplied Corsairs

HANOI, Indochina, R-The French sent their newly supplied American Navy Corsair fighter bombers Thursday into the widening aerial assault upon the 10000 Communicated Vietminh troops inside the key defense bas- ton of the Red River delta.
 B-26 bombers, aided by priva teers and Corsairs, hammered reg ular Vietminh troop concentra- tions and occupied villages and their hideouts in limestone hills around Phuly, 30 miles south of Hanoi.
 The warplanes flew more than 40 missions, hitting hard at Viet- minh regulars who are spear heading attempts inside the delta to smash vital lines of French communications and key defense posts, and possibly pave the way for an eventual major attack from the outside by Vietrninh troops moving from the fallen fortress at Dien Bien Phu.
 Meanwhile, the French flew one of Indochina's most eminent doc tors to Dien Bien Phu to arrange for speedy release of seriously wounded French troops.

Bidault Tells Conference Korea Must
 Be Reunited by U.N.-Backed Elections
By EDDY GILMORE

GENEVA, RAFrench Foreign Minister Georges Bidault told the Donation Korean conference yes terday Korea must be reunited through United Nations controlled elections.
 Speaking for the first time in the Korean discussion, Bidault said reunification should be guar anteed by an all-Korean commiS- sion in which both North and South Korea would be represent ed in proportion to their popula- ton.
 Bidault called upon the North Koreans to show a sincere desire for the creation of a united, dem ocratic and independent Korea. He said the United Nations is the most qualified organization to designate observers to watch the proposed elections.
 Replying to Communist allega- tions that the United Nations has become an "accomplice of an ag- gressor country" Bidault declared such a statement is neither truth full nor provable. He added:
 ITO accept this would be in effect to deny on our part the vary principles of the internation- al organization in which we have placed our hopes and in the ser vice of which we have placed our forces"
 The French minister said that it was evident North Korea had committed the aggression by sud denly penetrating the territory of its neighbor in armed force with out previous recourse to any pro- cedure of conciliation or arbitra- ton and without any warning.
 Bidault said he wanted to set forth two principles which the French delegation considers fun damental:
 T. No project on Korea's unifi- cation is conceivable if it does not include a real, effective guarantee that all representation of the Kor- can people within the common organs which might be instituted will be proportional to the num- bers of citizens consulted in each part of the country.
 2. It will be extremely neces- sary, if these elections can be considered as valid, that the con- ditions of the freedom of ballot be verified and attested by neu- tral observers endowed with suf- ficient powers of control"

not because of any finality in the
Academy's choice. but simply be-
cause of boredom. No one includ-
ing the actual candidates can go
on caring longer than rs days
who was the best actor of any
year.
The quick counter to Lancaster
by most movie critics was Will
liam Holden for his sergeant
(it was a great year for SER
geants) in "Stalag IT," This
leaves Holden in pretty much
the same position as Senator
Kefauver early in 1852. a front
runner with lot of delegates,
but then what?
The forecast now begins to
seep up from the good earth-of
quarreling men-that the old
reliable of reliables will sneak
back into dominance. This is
Spencer Tracy.
Tracy is an everlasting threat,
a wise, ripe and always menacing
man in any actor election. His
weakness is effortlessness, the
ability to be perfect without
seeming to try. This was wonder
fully evident in his only, and not
very significant, picture of 1853,
1.-THE Actress"
In that one Tracy played a
father, a historically loveable
character but so commonplace
that the only thing ever noticed
about him is the depth of his
wrinkles and his loss Of hair.
The essence of fatherhood, as
everyone knows, is inconspic-
uousness. The ideal father If
the truth were to be faced, is a
rich man who carries in the
wood for the fireplace, builds
the fire and retires to his bed
room.
This makes it difficult to win
prizes for acting father roles.
Nevertheless, the word is out:
Watch Tracy. Watch him es-
pecially in the Academy voting
on the best acting of 1858. To
cavil at his victory-when it
would be ingratitude toward
fatherhood that no nation could
afford to risk.
The one on-controverSial fig
ure in the whole seasons end
prize nominations is Audrey
Hepburn. One or two mild reser-
vations have been made to Miss
Hepburn as the most sensational
feminine performer of the year,
but even the most homicidal
dissenter has not dared go too
far.
A good case could be made, in
deed. that Miss Hepburn is the
exception which proves the rule
Of controversy in our time. Will
she go down in history as the
last thing OH which everyone
agreed? She probably wouldn't
like that herself.

what might be called a furry of

day, a mere January 8. intoler-
ance for the other fellows taste
flared all over the place.
How in Heavens name. Mr..
Bosley Crowther Of The New
York Times demanded scath-
ingly, could his fellow critics
have chosen From Here to
Eternity" as the best picture of
1858? Mr.. Crowther, a free and
often ferocious thinker. was not
going to be caught dead In the
company of an ignorant ma
jority like that one.
"The Conquest of Everest" was
his idea of the champion film of
the year, and if not that, which
he would not concede at least
"A Queen is Crowned"
Mr.. Crowther's minority re-
port-if you think like any one
else you will never have the fun
of writing a bliStering minority

plagueing point. It is the one
of whether fact and fiction films
should be considered in separate
categories en'awarding prizes.
What is fact and what is fiction
in, say, From Here to Eternity"
which James Jones is purported
to have written from his expert
ence? Or in the recent Lavrenti
Beria story?
This reviewing department
follows the general premise that
there is recognizable dividing
line, loose and wavering to be
sure, but on which some kind of
shaky stand can be taken. It
has not seen Conquest of Ever

Crowned" It left that film off
its 10-best list only because it
regarded the production as a
documentary. one drawing on
far greater depths of drama than
those possible to, for instance.
SHANE"
However. looking back on its
own 10-best list, this depart
ment's position is not too de-
fenSible. If it truly separates fact
and fiction to the best of its
ability by some reasonable
standard, what was it doing with
Martin Luther" on the best
films list?
Candidly. this reviewer would
never hide behind the Fifth
allegiance he has ever had. AS
to why he put Martin Luther
among the 10-best films, pre-
sumably f1ctional, well, that's
another matter. The Founding
Fathers seem wise to have writ
ten this one into the Consitition
in this sort of situation.
Runner-up argument over the
heated week end was that having
to do with the best male per-
formance. Outside of the New

almost unanimous disagreement
that Burt Lancaster' Sgt.
Warden was the best perform

BraUL To Be
Considered

ST. LOUIS Up - National League
President Warren Giles holds court
here today on a free-for-an be-
tween the st. Louis Cardinals and
Philadelphia Phillies Sunday in a
game the umpires forfeited to the
Phils.
Giles arrived in town yesterday
from Cincinnati but quickly made
himself unavailable for comment.
Giles suspended Cardinal Man.
ager Eddie Stanky, catcher Sal
WARS and pitcher Ellis (Cot) Deal
of the Birds and first baSeman
Earl Torgeson of the Phils pending
the hearing. He took no action
against Phil Manager Terry Moore,
who also was involved in the
ruckuS.
Coach Johnny Riddle directed the
Cards as they defeated the PhilS
81, last night in a game as quiet
and orderly as the second game
of the double.header Sunday was
riotous.
Presumably the circumstances
leading to the forfeiture of the
game, as well as the fight, will
be considered at the hearing.
Giles notified the Cardinals of
his action in a telegram yesterday
after Redbird General Manager
Dick Meyer asked the league prexy
to come here for an on-the-Spot
investigation.
To be on hand for the hearing,
Giles said, are Managers Stanky
and Moore, their coaches, not more
than three other representatives of
each club, WARS, Deal and Tor
geson and the umpires.
The brawl started after Torgeson
objected to close pitches by Deal
and then got into a fight with
WARS. The two managers, enemies
since Stanky fired Moore as
Cardinal coach in 1852, and play
ers from both teams poured onto
the field.
Police broke up the free-for-all
after about eight minutes. Shortly
afterward, still in the fifth inning,
Umpire Babe Pinelli forfeited the
game to Philadelphia because of
delaying tactics by the Cards.
Casualties from the fray were
minor.
