Residents of Afognak Will Be Permitted To Buy The
 Land They Are Living On

WASHINGTON, R Secretary of the Interior Mckay Thursday announced the signing of an order intended to permit residents of Afognak village in Alaska to buy the land on which they are living.
 The order excludes LAO acres in the Chugach National Forest from restoration to the public domain.
 Director Edward Woozley of the Bureau of Land Management recommended the action on the grounds the families inhabiting Afognak are entitled to own the lands they have occupied for many years under Forest Service permits
 Woozley said the LAO acres comprise a three mile strip on the southern tip of Afognak Island, immediately adjoining Kodiak Is land He said most of the lands are occupied by the village, which consists of private residences for 175 inhabitants, two stores, a post office and a church.
 Though townsite and trade sites are involved, he said, the pri- mary method of issuing patents to the occupants will probably be under the Homesite Act of 1894 which applies only in Alaska. Under this law, the villagers would be able to acquire the land they are actually occupying at price of $2.50 an acre.

Eisenhower's Economic Report To Congress Blueprints Achievement of
 $500 Billion Production In 10 Years

WASHINGTON, R- Presidents Eisenhower handed Congress yes terday his 10-year blueprint for the achievement of 800 billion dollars or more in annual produc- tion and said 1855 promises a high level of jobs and produc- tiOn.
 In glowingly optimistic econ omic message, Eisenhower gave virtual assurance of a general, though modest, reduction in taxes" in 1856, made possible by broad business recovery now in process.
 He wagged a warning finger at the soaring stock market, declar- ing that continued economic re- covery must not be jeopardized by over-emphasis of speculative activity" The government, he said, will meet it's great respon- sibility" to prevent a financial boom -and-bust.
 F1cLuTlng the present as tlme of industrial expansion, the Presi- dent said labor strife often in creases in such periods with tser- ious economic epercussions.
 The report, third and last of the major presidential messages, urged the states to increase the amount, duration and coverage of unemployment compensation, and called again on Congress to raise the minimum wage from 75 to 90 cents.
 Eisenhower discouraged the proposals of labor leaders and some Democrats for wage floor of $1 or SIPS an hour. The 15- cent increase, he said, is all that can be economically justified a higher minimum might cause lower production and sub stantial unemployment in several industries" He proposed, how

 These were among 33 recom- mendations in the 2O7-page re- port. But Eisenhower stressed that governments role-in help ing to achieve the 40 per cent production raise needed to reach a 500-million-dollar annual out put of goods and services in 1865 will be primarily that of en- couraging private initiative, curb ing monopoly, and avoiding en- croachment on industry.

MAN LEAPS FROM RUNAWAY TRUCK AND LIVES TO TELL ABOUT IT

FRANKLIN, Pa, R - Truck driver Dale Fickes, 27, of Warren, Ohio, leaped from a runaway rig travelling nearly 100 miles an hour yesterday and lived to tell about it.
 Pickles said the brakes failed as he started down long, dead end hill and the speedometer hit 100 miles an hour at one time.
 Moments before the truck went off a 30 foot embanklnent into a creek, Pickles leaped onto the snow covered road, slid 50 feet and suffered only a minor cut and a sprained wrist.

From Bruin CIot

LONDON, Aug. 10 P.-For-
mer Prime Minister Clement Att
lee has recovered from a cerebral
thrombosis, his wife said today.
THE thrombosis (blod clot on
the brain) has now been re-
solved and all is wei again" Mrs.
Attlee told newsmen at their
country home in Great Missen-
den, Buckfnghamshire.
The illness of the 72-year-old
Labor Party leader did not be-
come known publicly until last
night. The attack was the first
health setback for Mr.. Attlee
since an appendix operation two
years ago.
The Labor Party's press Office
said in London there was no
reason to believe that Mr.. Attlee
would not fulfill his customary
party duties. especially at the
Socialists annual conference in
Margate October 1914.
Mr.. Attlee, Labor Party leader
since 1888, had been expected to
turn his gavel over to younger
leaders after his party's defeat
in the May 26 general election.
Instead he stayed on as the me-
dating factor between his own
moderate faction and the party's
warning left wing led By Auenrin
ReYan.
