SWIVEL CHAIR JOB
CLEANUP TIME IS HERE AGAIN
It isn’t necessary to announce that its time for
the city to have its annual house-cleaning, as debris,
garbage and discarded equipment of all kinds are to
be found wherever you look.
All the citizens needed was the go-ahead signal
by the City Council which was announced Monday
night, for “operation cleanup” to get under way.
It is hoped that all individuals will have enough
pride in the appearance of their town to look beyond
their own back yard and reach out into the vacant
lot next door and clean it up a bit too, so that the
thousands of visitors passing through our community
this summer will remember it as the cleanest, tidiest,
healthiest looking town in the Territory.
That may sound impossible but it can be done
by everybody doing their share.
Coastwise Lines Request
Maritime Commission For
Charter Three Liberties
WASHINGTON, W) — The Fed
eral Maritime Commission was
asked Monday to charter three
liberty ships to the Coastwise
Lines for summer service be
tween the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska.
The craft are now tied up at
Portland, Ore.
The request was supported by
■two government bodies and by
Harold Say, Washington manager
of the Portland, Ore., chamber of
commerce. -
Say said Coastwise is the only
water carrier now moving be
tween Portland and Alaska and
urged charter of the three addi
tional ships to permit movement
of cargo now piling up on the
docks.
Joseph Flakne of the Interior
Department’s Office of Terri
tories, and Lt. Col. Carl H. Brown
of the Army Engineers cited the
large amount of construction
work to be carried on in Alaska
this year as supporting the need
for additional shipping.

^en. Clark Advances
New Proposal For
Truce Negotiators
PANMUNJOM, UP)—Gen. Mark
Clark arrived in Korea Tuesday
with a new truce counter pro
posal which a South Korean of
ficial said might “modify or re
ject” the Communist plan to put
Poland and Czechoslovakia on a
prisoner repatriation commission.
This official, in a position to
know, said the Far East com
mander’s plan might be present
ed today and also would:
1. “Modify or reject” the Com
munist proposal to bring into
Korea armed forces of five pow
ers on repatriation commission to
guard prisoners who refuse to re
turn te Red rule.
2. Reduce the period of making
“explanations” to the reluctant
Chinese and North Korean pri
soners to 60 days. The Commun
ist plan calls for four months.
At Tuesday’s truce session, the
U.N. accused the Reds of dodging
crucial questions on the ultimate
disposition of prisoners who re
peatedly refuse to go home after
an armistice in Korea.
The Communists countered that
the Allied questions assume de
tails could not be solved later,
step by step, and that an armistice
in Korea “cannot be realized at
all.”

Gen. James A. Van Fleet
To Hunt ‘Bear’ in Alaska,
Kodiak Bear, That Is
SAN FRANCISCO, Of) — Gen.
James A. Van Fleet hefted a 'big
sports rifle and declared he
wouldn’t mind bagging “a Russian
bear, if we can get a good bead
on him.”
The former U.N. ground com
mander in Korea says he hopes
to bag a few bears — Ko'diak
variety — on a hunting trip in
Alaska. He leaves for there to
day, accompanied by his wife and.
an old army friend, Col. L. P.
Waltz, ret.
Van Fleet had this to say about
the Korean war:
“We’ve got to whip those fel
lows on the other side before they
travel the Pacific Highway and
land on the' shores of California
•—and I’m speaking of a genera
tion from now.”
He declared he saw “no good”
in the current armistice talks at
Panmunjom, and added:
“How can you possibly hope
for a fair decision. There’s no
thing in the armistice proposals
to indicate a change of Red views
toward an honorable peace and a
united Korea.
“A united Korea was our orig
inal proposal and if we back ;
down on that we give in to Com- j
munism.”
