Mt. McKinley • Painting
Ordered Shipped From
Alaska to Calfiornia
JUNEAU, UP)—The Alaska Ter
ritorial Museum has received or
ders to crate Sidney Laurence’s
massive painting of Mount Mc
Kinley, described by some as his
finest work, for shipment to Cal
ifornia.
Museum Curator E. L. Keithahn
said Thursday the instructions
were received from its owners,
Paul and Frank Reed, Anchorage
brothers. It will be consigned to
a Los Angeles dealer.
It was displayed at the Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, for a time,
but was returned to Alaska in
1941 and has been viewed by
thousands of visitors at the mu
seum.
The painting was inherited by
the brothers from their father,
Frank I. Reed. It was done by
Laurence for their mother in 1924,
reportedly to pay for a board bill.
It was offered for sale to the
territory in 1946, but the legisla
ture failed to appropriate money.
Appraisals of its value ranged
from $10,000 to $15,000. During
the last legislative session, the
Pioneers of Alaska discussed buy
ing it but no action was taken.
Keithahn said both he and the
governor’s office had tried to dis
courage shipping the painting out
of Alaska but without success.
Keithahn said Frank Reed told
him:
“Perhaps this deal will fall
through. If it does, the picture no
doubt will return to Alaska.”
Fight for Adoption of
Foreign Aid Bill Not Over
As Senate Approves 69-10
WASHINGTON, UP— The Sen
ate early Thursday voted $6,745,
318,202 in foreign aid funds to
climax a 15V2 - hour, oTatory
packed session in which all efforts
to slash the total were rejected.
But the bill faced a new fight
with the House.
Senate representatives must
work out a compromise settlement
with those of the House, which
pruned more than a billion dollars
from President Eisenhower’s re
quest for funds to help the free
world combat' Communism.
By a thumping 69-10 margin,
after beating off six attempts to
cut down, the Senate stamped ap
proval on a big money bill con
taining some S548 million more
than voted by the House.
Answer to DO YOU KNOW, P. 2
No, - ,- If you receive other
property not exempted, the fair
market value must be assigned to
it, and added to other money
gains or losses.

U.S. Opposition To
Red China in U.N.
Assailed in London
LONDON, (*—■'The United State’s
stand against seating Red China
in the United Notions came under
fresh fire Thursday in London
and New Delhi.
Secretary of State Dulles was
accused in the British House of
Commons of laying down a policy
line for the Korean peace confer
ence without taking into account
the views of U.S. allies. Clement
Attlee, leader of the British Labor
Party, said it was peculiar that a
“unilateral declaration of policy”
should come from Washington.
Attlee spoke after the Churchill
government served notice it be
lieves Communist China should
displace Nationalist China in the
U.N. “when the, time is right.”
The acting foreign secretary, Lord
Salisbury, said in the House of
Lords it would be “improper and
impossible” for him to say now,
three days after the armistice in
Korea, that the time had arrived.
'Prime Minister Nehru of India,
long insistent that Mao Tze-Tung’s
China should have the seat, urged
that these Chinese be called inlo
conference with the major U.N.
powers that fought in the Korean
War. He suggested this meeting
be held ahead of the Aug. 17 U.N.
Assembly meeting which is to
take up procedure for the Korean
peace conference.

Visitors to Nome
Wednesday’s visitors to Nome
not only enjoyed the opportunity
of seeing Bering Straits, dotted
with the Diomede Islands with
Siberia to the west, but also saw
King Island sitting in the waters
of Bering Sea. Later they visited
with its people, the King Island
Eskimos, who have their summer
home near Nome.
Among the 21 visitors were Mr.
and Mrs. W. Harborn of Miami,
Fla., who said that coming to
Nome from Florida is one great
trip. They drove their town car
as far as Fairbanks.
Mr. and Mrs. William L. Mc
Intyre with their children, Betty
and Bill, became honorary mem
bers of the NVA. The children
said they will have fun showing
their Billikin button to their
schoolmates in Covena, Calif.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Olson
joined with the other couple from
Miami in saying the Alaska High
way was in good condition and
that they too would tell the story
of a grand trip to their fellow
citizens of Florida.
The outstanding visitor of the
day was Mr. Guy S. Connors, ac
companied by Mrs. Connors, of
Tulsa, Okla. Mr. Connors is with
Williams - Connors - Stanfield, en
gineers consultants, who have put
in pipelines across the Panama
Canal Zone, in South America,
Arabia, a large portion of the
Big and Little Inch pipelines, and
from Maine into Canada. These
are all major pipeline ventures
which bring oil from the produc
ing fields to markets at reduced
cost to consumers.
Mr. Connors has been in Alaska
twice, driving his car over the
two highways into Alaska, one
via the Vancouver, B.C. route, the
other via Edmonton.
Mr. Connors is now interested
in the building of pipelines from
Haines to Fairbanks and from the
Barrow field to Fairbanks.
Such men, too, make Alaska.
