AVA To Make Drive For
New Members To Raise
Money For Activities
Edward Coffey, president of the
Alaska Visitors Association, made
the official announcement Mon
day that James Beard had been
employed as membership director
by the Finance Committee of the
association.
Coffey said that Beard, former
ly managing editor of the Daily
Alaska Empire of Juneau, had
been selected from a list of sev
eral candidates applying for the
job and added that his first as
signment will be to conduct the
annual membership drive thru
out the territory.
Beard pointed out that all ac
tivities of the association must be
financed out of membership fees
with the exception of paid adver
tising in national publications,
which can be paid with territorial
funds allotted to the association,
and predicted that with a little
extra investment the tourist in
dustry would soon represent Al
aska’s number one dollar income.
He called attention to the fact
that the American Automobile
Assn, is predicting Alaska’s tour
ist business will double this year
and added that it can double again
next season if the territory ex
pands its stateside advertising and
publicity campaign.
“The amount of publicity and
promotion we can plan is directly
dependent on the size of our mem
bership and we’re calling on all
Alaskans to invest that extra dol
lar now to build a lasting indus
try for the territory,” Beard -con
cluded.

Third Division Halts Reds
Striking for More Ground
To Gain Truce Advantage
THURSDAY
SEOUL, (tfl—Troops of the U.S.
Third Division Thursday smashed
back six Communist attacks as an
estimated 7,000 Reds hit Ameri
can and South Korean outposts in
central Korea.
The Eighth Army identified the
Third Division as fighting on the
sector northeast of Chorwon to
give it credit for hurling back the
Communists in a savage outpost
battle.
Some observers said the Chin
ese appeared to be trying to grab
all possible territory before an
armistice since ground won now
may foe a gain in the truce settle
ment.
Third Division infantrymen
hurled back six attacks against
Outpost Harry, 10 miles northeast
of Chorwon, after hours of close
quarter fighting, at times hand-to
hand.
The Reds poured 20,000 artil
lery shells into the U.S. lines be
fore and during the assaults. And
two' Communist tanks pumped
high-velocity shells into American
positions.

Hawaii Needs Federal Aid
To Ease Housing Shortage
WASHINGTON, UP)—1The House
Banking Committee was told to
day that Hawaii needs more lib
eral government financial help to
ease its housing shortage.
Delegate Farrington (R-Hawaii)
asked approval of a bill to per
mit the Federal National Mort
gage Association to make home
buying easier for Hawaiians.
The association makes it pos
sible for home buyers to buy
houses with a down payment of
only five per cent of the price.
The committee also considered
extending these benefits to Guam
and Alaska. The Senate already
has passed a bill to do this, but
refused to extend coverage to
Hawaii.
Housing Administrator Albert
Cole commented that home fin
ancing is “just not available” on
Guam and that Alaskans have the
same problem. L
