Civil Rights Due
In United States
By Lyle C. Wilson
Washington, Nov. 28 UP) A
new and more bitter fight over
civil rights is boiling up in this
country under management of
the left wing elements which
shaped the 1948 democratic plat
form plank.
They have set up a national
campaign backed by 36 labor and
other organizations to whoop up
civil rignts in local and state
meetings. This activity is aimed
at congressmen now on their
home grounds during the legis
lative recess. The idea is to im
press them in their own con
stituencies that active and politic
ally potent minority groups want
action on civil rignts legislation
at the next session of congress.
Communists Happy
The communists, characteristic
ally, are grabbing at tne tail-gate
oi tne civil rignts band wagon in
' an elfort to warm up tneir uoubt-
lul prestige among American ne-
1 ne commies nave eiaDoraiea
on the plans of non-communists
lor a civil rights ballyhoo. The
communist contribution is a plan
for a "mass civil rights mobil
ization in Wasnington on Janu
ary 15, 1950." Mouilizations and
marches on Washington are old
communist gimmicks which mean
little.
- But the non-communist cam
paign sparked by the left wing
Americans tor Democratic Action
is likely to build up a lot of
steam. There is a scattering of
states and cities from coast to
coast outside tne south where
Americans for Democratic Action
is a powerful political force, it
is composed ol laoor leaders, so
cialists, new dealers, restless in
dependents and, in general, cov
ers tne left wing lieid up to, but
not including, the communists.

Wolves Found Mam Danger
During Trans-Arctic Trip

on the lonKebt ilog-itled trip ever attempted.)
By Cecil Moore
(Written exclusively for United Press)
Cathedral Bluffs, Alaska, Nov.
28 tlPt Wolves have become the
biggest danger in my trans-Arctic
trip up to this point.
The grey, shaeey beasts con
tinually follow my dog team
through the snow-covered wilder
ness. At night their glittering
eyes ring my campfire . .. . wait
ing and watching.
I am carrying one of the nine
dogs of my sled team in the
sleigh lest the wolves attack him.
The dog got loose one night and
fought with another of tne Hus
kies, receiving a laming leg bite.
If I don't protect him, the wolves
will be sure to get him like they
got two other dogs here at this
repeater station this winter-
No Showdown, Yet
As yet, the wolves and I have
not come to a showdown, but if
thev do attack, tney'll meet a
warm reception. Both my rifle
and my revolver are loaded and
are being kept within easy reach.
I arrived here late Saturday
night from Dot lake where the
temperature was l Deiow zero,
Bears, caribou and sheep were
seen along the way.
The sleieh dogs are getting
more toughened every day. At
first, I feared they wouldn't be
able to stand the strain of the
long, cross-country trip. But, so
far, only have had to tape the
feet of three or. tnem.
I intend to leave here tomor
row, traveling to Whitehorse in
the Yukon territory. For the next
three or four days, it appears
I'll have flat country to travel
through, and should be able to
make good time.
There ' are more than 400 dif
ferent frozen foods on the mar
ket, including Cnincse eee roll,
whale meat, borsch, shark s liver
and tortillas.
Eye Operation
Outcome Awaits
Further Tests
Portland, Nov. 28 IPI A little
girl lay as rigid as possible in
her hospital bed today, given a
slight hope by doctors that her
one good eye will retain its sight
to guide ner and her completely
blind parents through their daily
lives.
Sandbags clamped 12-year-old
Mary Hope Hodgdon's head in a
steady position so as not to rip
the delicate tissues, still healing
from an operation performed 10
days ago in an attempt to. save
her eye.
this week end, doctors studied
the results of the surgery under
a bright light that caused the
girl to wince. The examination
showed she still retained the pow
er of sight and that the electric
needle surgery was a "probable
success."
But the doctors said it might
be years before they will know
for sure whether they had suc
ceeded in preventing her irom
losing her sight entirely.
Tiny Cysts Blamed
Mary Hope's left eye has been
blinded hopelessly by tiny cysts
that detached the retina from the
eyeball. Her right eye was threat
ened and the operating physician,
wnose identity was not released
for "ethical reasons," said only
the time would tell if the pro
gressive growth of the cysts has
been checked.
Mary Hope has . guided her
blind parents, Lee and Hazel
Hodgdon, through their daily lives.
reading the lamily mail and aid
ing her mother In household
chores.
Her father was blinded 20 years
ago by a logging camp explos
ion. Her mother was blinded at the
age of five by the same affliction
that threatens the daughter.
Meanwhile, mail and presents
were arriving at the Hodgdon
house after the mother appealed
to people to write. The letters
and bundles will not be opened
until Mary Hope can come home.
The girl lies practically im
mobile in the hospital bed since
any jerky motion might hurt her
chances of recovery. She has been
fed a soft diet to keep her facial
muscles relatively immobile dur
ing the critical healing period.
Some reading will be allowed
when she goes home.
