Girl Scout camp this year will
be held from June 14 to 21. It is

The cost of the camp will be
$7.00 for the week and must be

area and had an enjoyable eve

I Former Red Complains
| He Was “Banished” From
McCarthy-Army Hearings
WASHINGTON, UFl—Sen. Mc
Carthy asked the Senate Investi
gations Subcommittee Tuesday to
consider “the extent to which the
Justice Department is going to
prevent the testimony of certain
witnesses” in the McCarthy hear
ings.
McCarthy handed the subcom
mittee a copy of a document
which he did not identify publicly
at the time. He told a reporter it
was a copy of a complaint made
public over the weekend by for
mer Communist Paul Crouch that
a high Justice Department official
had ordered Crouch “banashed”
to Hawaii.
Crouch, who has frequently ap
peared before Congressional com
mittees to talk about alleged sub
version, wrote a report dated
March, 1953, saying more than
1,000 Communists were in the
armed forces. That report went
into the McCarthy-Army hearing
record last week.
McCarthy said he will “ask for
a discussion” of the Brouch com
plaint after Acting Chairman
Mundt (R-SD) has had a chance
to read the document.

Eisenhower Asks Congress
For Extra Billion for
Military Construction
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Eisenhower Tuesday asked Con
gress for an extra defense appro
priation of $1,100,000,000 for mili
tary construction.
The only indication of just
where the money would be spent
came in the White House an
nouncement that $503,000 of the
total would be used for Army
construction of a communications
system in Alaska.
Murray Snyder, assistant presi
dential press secretary, said the
overall amount includes the ex
pense of constructing sites for
Nike guided missiles, and for
troop housing.
Legislation to authorize the mil
itary construction work and fam
ily housing projects now is pend
ing in Congress. The President’s
request Tuesday was for Congress
to provide the money, once the
projects are authorized. It would
be used in the fiscal year begin
ning July 1.
French Destroy Red Bases
By Massive Air Attacks
HANOI, Indochina, (tf) — The
French high command announced
today massive bombing by the
French Air Force had destroyed
a “string of bases” of the Com
munist-led Vietminh 12 miles east
of Hanoi.
A command spokesman said 30
fighters and 20 bombers blew up
huge arms depots and rebel caches
of war materiel in villages they
had occupied near the vital high
way and railway linking Hanoi
with the seaport of Haiphong.
The high command spokesman
described the situation elsewhere
in the Red River Delta as “calm.”
Congressman Says
Alaska Needs More
Federal Health Aid
WASHINGTON, UP—Rep. Fer
nandez (D-NM) says the clinic
boats which used to ply the Alas
ka coast to diagnose and treat
ailing natives should either be
put back into operation or sold.
Personally, he’d prefer they be
used.
The New Mexican made his
position clear in questioning Dr.
Otis L. Anderson and Dr. Jack
Haldeman, chief and assistant
chief of the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare’s Bureau
of State Services. The two doctors
appeared before a House appro
priations subcommittee in support
of a budget request of $1,062,000
for disease and sanitation investi
gations and control in Alaska.
Fernandez didn’t indicate, ac
cording to a transcript just re
leased by the subcommittee, just
what he thought of the specific
appropriation but he did say “It
seems to me that a good deal
more should be done in Alaska.”
He said he felt Alaska has a
“peculiar problem” because of its
high incidence of tuberculosis. He
noted also the territory’s possible
contribution of TB incidence to
continental United States through
the return of persons who con
tracted the disease in Alaska.
On the subject of the clinic
boats, which were tied up by the
territory last year because of lack
of funds, Fernandez told the two
doctors:
“It is utterly ridiculous to spend
money for units like that and just
tie them up. It is just not good
business and it does not make
good sense.”
Although the witnesses said the
proposed appropriation did not
include funds to renew the clinic
boat operations, they said they
had already informed Alaska’s
Gov. Heintzleman and Territorial
Director of Health Earl Albrecht
that the matter would be re-ex
amined. v
