Mario LAMA Sings Again,
For First Time On TV

HOLLYWOOD, Up - M a r o
LAMA proved to a nationwide
television audience last night he
still can sing.
Last month he merely mouthed
the words to tWo-year-old records
in making his TV debut on CBS'
Shower of Stars" A source close
to the singer said then a siren
uous reducing program had i'm
paired his voice.
The husky tenor sang an aria
from the opera "Tosca" and Zone
Day" from "The Vagabond King"
He told reporter he got
$4,000 for last nights perform
ance, the same sum he said he
received for his debut to old
records.

Plans to Develop
WhitehOrse AS
Capital of VT.

OTTAWA, R-The government
has announced plans for the de-
velopment of Whitehorse as capt.
tai of the Yukon Territory and
hub of the northwest, including
bridging of the Yukon River and
establishment of a $3,000,000 hos
pital on a new development site.
The announcement said the
rapid development of mining has
added to the economic Importance
of Whitehorse since the war and
in the future the city is likely to
benefit substantially from the
vast new hydroelectric possibili-
ties of the Yukon watershed.
A 3OO-foot bridge costing $780,
600 would be thrown across the
Yukon River to open new area
east of Whitehorse whose expan-
sion now is hampered by low
lying industrial land of the north;
rough, steep terrain to the south;
and a military airport reserve to
the west.
The new site would be opened
for BODYBUILDING, but the biggest
single project would be modern,
12O-bed hospital to serve as the
focal point of the northern health
service in the Yukon.
Prospectors heading for the
Klondike in the Gold Rush of
1898 gave Whitehorse it's start. 1t
remained important as the head
of water transportation on the
Yukon and later as the terminus
OF the White Pass and Yukon
Railway which connects it with
the Pacific at Skagway, Alaska.
The war brought the Alaska
Highway to Whitehorse's door,
providing a road link to Edmon-
ton.

by Air Force officials.
The rescue occurred after a jet
trainer plane from Eielson Air

Eskimos of the village of Koyuk

notified their village school teach

sighting on the smoke from the
plane and estimated it at 20
miles.
Guided by this pinpoint esti-

located one survivor, End 1t.
Nicholas Howell of Lompoc, Calf.
Howell had landed in the Sound
and waded ashore, where he was
picked up the next day.
Meanwhile, the Eskimos of Koy-
uk harnessed dog teams and head
ed out on the ice covering the
Sound to search for the other man
aboard the plane.
The smoke was offshore in an
area of open drift ice which had
not frozen solid and was quite
treacherous.
One of the Eskimos, Roger Mas
suk, fell into the frigid water with
his team. He was in the water Is
minutes before being pulled out.
Four of his dogs froze to death.
The Eskimos slept at night on
the broken ice floes in sub-freez-

The commentator was given

this plane could have been a
warning of the approach of en-

Eisenhower and
Stevenson In The
Political Spotlight
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IIGSluGIlL ClSCilIlOWCl PlulfSCo
into hard-hitting, eleventh hour
personal campaigning today with
jabs at the Democrats on the Com
munists-in-government issue and
a contention the opposition party
never brought prosperity except
through war.
Eisenhower, on four-State,
one-day air tour, was replying
indirectly to Democrat Adlai Ste
venson by mentioning the Com
munist issue.
Only last night, Stevenson had
chided Eisenhower in a speech at
Trenton, NJ, for the way Vice
President Nixon and other Re-
publican campaigners have talked
about Reds in government.
The 1852 Democratic presiden-
tial candidate said Eisenhower
had told a news conference We'd
nesday he didn't know about COP
use of the Communism" issue.
He said he wondered if Essen
hover and Nixon were on speak
ing terms.
On the unemployment question,
the President pledged that his
administration will do anything
possible to find jobs for those out
of work.
81 do assure you this" he said.
GAS long as there is single Am
erican without work this
government will seek a better So
luton" to unemployment.
eve won't go to war in order
to get work"
Eisenhower told the airport
crowd at Cleveland that his adj
ministration has given the Ameri-
can people the kind of govern
ment they wanted.
eve were tired of hearing the
word Communist" he said. "And
every time it was mentioned, it
was called a red herring"
EisenhoWer's big last moment
effort on behalf of COP congress
sional candidates really began last
night. He attended an enthusi-
astic Citizens for Eisenhower din
ner in Washington, and told it
that confusion can be avoided
and steady progress assured Gin
the next two years of his admin
istratiom only by electing a Re-
publican majority to the Con-
gress."
This was disputed by Stevenson
who said at Trenton that "a DEM
ocratic majority in the Congress
could be trusted to support the
President on basic questions of
security and welfare"
Actually, Stevenson declared,
the Republicans seemed to be
united mainly on what he called
"the give-away." He added: Gin
the give-away field, in favors for
the few at the expense of the
many, the Republican philosophy
appears to be clear and it's pur-

lite, and has had to spend his
time on the stump.
C. of C. Backs Power Plant.
The power fight in the West
Memphis Memphis area pro-
duced one paradoxical develop
ment when the directors of the
Memphis Chamber OF Commerce
voted to support the proposal to
build across the river. despite
the agitation of IVA. supporters
to the contrary.
The directors seemingly max
ing the best of a bad situation
said that the Fulton plant wasn't
going to be built anyway, and
that Memphis would have a
power shortage by 1857 if some
thing was not done, so they
voted to go along with the adj
ministration.
They argued, too, that what
ever helps West Memphis helps
Memphis, pointing to the pro-
spective income which their Ar
kansas neighbor would have, and
stressing that West Memphis is
an important segment of the
Memphis trade area.
iva People Disagree.
But the iva people are not
buying that.
Asked if the IVA cause had
been hurt by the chamber move,
Mai. Thomas H. Allen, president
of the city-owned utility in Mem
phis, said: -
'Any adverse action hurts,
but that, in my opinion, does
not anywhere near represent a
cross-section of sentiment here.
I think that will be made plain
as this goes on"
Maj. Allen explained that he
had not been able to get a de-
tailed line on what is involved
in the West Memphis deal, but
that on the basis of informa-
ton he does have. the power
delivered to the Memphis area
from Arkansas would cost about
1925, 900 annually more than
the Tennessee consumers pay
now, unless the Atomic Energy
Commission subsidies the prof.
ect."
The newspapers in Memphis
are up in arms against the
chamber, too, and the CONNER
cial Appeal and Press-Scimitar,
both of the Scripps- Howard
chain, are demanding that the
business men take a new look
at the matter.
