Mccarthy Arm Injury Forces ll-Day Recess
By Jack Bell

WASHINGTON, (R = Senators marking time in an 11-day recess while Sen. Mccarthy is treated for an elbow injury disagreed sharply to day on whether they ever will reach a showdown on censuring him.
 The Senate voted 76-2 yester- day - with Sens. Fulbright D- Ark) and Lehman D-NY) shout ing "No"-to adjourn until Nov. 29. They had heard advice of doctors that it will take that long to treat "traumatic bursitis' said to have developed in McCarthy's right arm.
 The adjournment brought to an abrupt halt debate on a resolu- ton to censure the Wisconsin Re publican for alleged contemp- tuous treatment of a Senate FL ections subcommittee and Ire peated abuse" of Brig. Gen. Ralph w. Zwicker, a witness before Me Carthy's Senate Investigations subcommittee.
 Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican leader, said there is mo doubt in my mind that the issue will be resolved' by vote on the censure resolution before midnight, Dec. "A, adjournment deadline previously fixed by Con- gress.
 But Fulbright, one of three sen ators who joined in bringing 46 overlapping original charges against Mccarthy, disagreed.

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Harry Bridges proposes that Chief Judge William Denman of the Ninth US. Court of Appeals be asked to arbitrate the cargo loading dis pute between his longshore union and AFL sailors.
 Bridges, saying the dispute has led to "a tragic and destructive situation on the Pacific Coast waterfront" told a news confer ence yesterday that Harry Lunde- berg, chief of the sailors union, is to blame.

US. Will Build
 Radar Ring Along Rim of Continent
By ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, R-The United States has assumed the job of building the distant early warn ing" line of radar stations along the Canadian Alaskan rim of the continent.
 An announcement made simul- taneously today in Washington and Ottawa said the two govern ments have agreed:
 l. "To proceed with the con- struction" of the perimeter warn ing net for enemy bombers, whose cost is unofficially estimated at about one billion dollars.
 2. That although both Canada and the United States will partici pate in the project, responsibility for the work of construction and installation should be vested in the United States
 In answer to questions, Defense Department officials said suffi- cient money is available in the current budget to go ahead with the project and that additional money will be requested in the next budget.
 The announcement was much like one issued last Sept. 27, outlining two existing or building northern radar systems, saying there was agreement on need for distant early warning system.
 In September 1853, the Vest ern Electric Co., announced it was starting work, under a contract with the US. Air Force, of the first experimental units of dis tant early warning line" That announcement said the project was started in December 1852, and that the first units were being installed on Barter Island, off the northern coast of Alaska.

Cut In Tariff On Crabmeat Imports Will Destroy US. Crab Canning Industry

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Nor blad R-Ore) told Secretary of State Dulles today any cut in tariffs on crabmeat imports from Japan, "would in my opinion vir- tually destroy the crab canning industry in this country.'
 He made public letter to the secretary in which he said he said he understood the State De- partment is now considering "a number of tariff reductions on items from Japan" including canned crab.
 At the present time," Norblad declared, "importations of inferior grades of crabmeat from Japan, which are being sold at prices much less than American costs, have made serious inroads in the progress of the industry, and it is most sincerely believed that tariff reduction would be a final blow that would put this infant industry completely out of busi- ness.
 q hope that all of these facts will be taken into consideration by your department if and when these tariff proposals may be un- der discussion"

Govt. Files Antitrust Suit Against Radio Corp. of America

WASHINGTON, R- The Jus tice Department today filed an antitrust suit against Radio Cor poration of America RCA), charg- ing the company with monopoliz- ing the radio television patent licensing business.
 The suit raises no monopoly issue with respect to RCA's far flung manufacturing enterprises.
 The action charged that since about 1882, RIGA has monopolized radio television patent-licensing by means of conspiracy aided by American Telephone and Tele- graph Co.,, Western Electric, Bell Telephone Laboratories, General Electric Co.,, Westinghouse Elec- tric Corp, and others.
 These companies are named as co-conspirators, but not as defend ants in the New York action.
 A principal complaint in the suit is that RIGA holds some 10000 patents or patent rights in the radio-television field, and that it follows a policy of package li- censing" under which other radio television manufacturers must buy all of the RIGA patents, ra- ther than one or more on selected items.

Armed Forces Pay Boost Will Be First Order of Business

WASHINGTON, lR - Legisla- ton to boost the pay of all mem bers of the armed forces was list ed by Rep. Vinson D-Ga as the No. 1 business for the House Arm ed Services Committee in 1855.
 Vinson will head the commit tee when the new Congress con- venes on Jan. 5 with Democrats in control.
 Next in importance he listed a new shipbuilding program, mill tary public works program, and a tWo-year extension of the draft law.
 Vinson said legislation to pro- vide reputable" increases for all personnel from privates to gen erals would be based on studies already made by the Defense De- partment and on studies to be made by the Armed Service Com mittee.
 "The objective is to provide an incentive to make the armed ser vices a career" he said.
 A new shipbuilding program, he said, should provide for more aircraft carriers, submarines and destroyers wi h emphasis on atomic-poWered craft.
 Better housing for enlisted per sonnel should be a major objec- tive of the new military public works program, Vinson said. A lack of adequate housing to ac- comodate families, he said, has been a deterrent in the past to enlistment and enlistment.

Budget Proposal Would Double
 Alaska Territorial Police Force

ANCHORAGE, R-A division captain said yesterday that AL aska's 36-man Territorial Police force will be nearly doubled next year if the legislature agrees to the budget proposals for the next biennium.
 Capt. Wesley Gilman, the of ficer in charge of the 3rd Division said "modernizing" plans would include the addition of planes, teletype system between major stations and a small crime labor atory.
 The police budget proposal is for approximately S2,850,000. That is more than twice the amount it was slated to get for the present biennium by appropriation and from gas tax funds.
 Capt. Gilman said the budget, still subect to change, calls for a $490,000 building program. It would include construction of a new office at Fairbanks and com- bination office-dwellings in such outlying stations as Tok Juno ton, Kenai and Soldotna.
 He said a station also is plan ned for Nome and man would be added at other outlying sta tions where the present officer is on 24-hour call basis.
 Gilman said the police officials hope to establish teletype sys- tenn to tighten their communica- tions. The present radio system has proved unsatisfactory, he said, and police in the states generally have converted to teletypes for inter-office communications.
 Plans for big expansion of the departments truck scales opera tions also are included, he said, under a request for $215,000 to operate truck-weighing scales at Anchorage, Fairbanks, Seward, Valdez and Haines. The last leg islature allocated $50,000 for that operation and Gilman said the department had been criticized for not keeping closer tab on trucks on the highways.

She gave one pint Of blood

Reason to Give.
Why, out of the j asa 900, was
1t Mrs. Pike who gave blood?
The answer is very simple:
A month ago, about 1890
pm, Mrs. Pike walked into a
casualty Hospital emergency
room. Her older son John, jr.,
10, was lying ION a table. His
face was badly cut. His left leg
was actually splintered. He had
a compound fracture above the
knee and a compound fracture
below. The muscles and tendons
of both legs had been wrenched
and torn. What doctors call
"shock" had set in throughout
his body. Above him on a rack
was bottle of blood, draining
down into the youth.
"I thought the blood" Mrs.
Pike says, twas a service of the
hospital"
John Pike. jr.. had been in an
automobile accident. Both John
and the car were smashed. BY
that morning he had received
five pints of blood-from the
center which Mrs. Pike visited
yesterday.
Mrs. Pike, she remembers, had
never really thought much about
blood. When attendants wheeled
her son to another room that
night and continued to give him
blood, she began to wonder if
there was more-and then,
where it came from.
Still in Hospital.
John Pike, jr., is still in Cas-
ualty. It will be some time be-
fore he's up and around again.
