Three members of a senate arm.

would stress in congress the need
for adequate Alaskan defenses.
"We will carry home a report

lantic coast."
Sen. Wayne Morse (R-Ore.)

Lt. (j.g.) Bill Cochran of Mc
Keesport, Pa., was sitting In his
Jeep outside Wonsan.
An aged Korean clad in white

Cochran jerked out his .45. A
South Korean interpreter whis

he wants to give the grenade to
you as a present."
Sure enough, the old man
bowed and elaborately present
ed the American with the gren

Little Alice's
Invitation Was
Not Delivered
Stanwood, Mich., Oct. 21 (U.R)
Little Alice Benson, ill with
cancer, isn't expected to live
much longer and her parents
decided to make her eighth
birthday next Tuesday "the
best one ever." Doctors say
she won't have another one.
But Alice knew she was
very sick and couldn't play
with other children. So nurses
at Convalescent hospital sug
gested she invite five-year-old
Carol Park who, they said, "is
just as sick as you are."
A nurse wrote an Invitation
to Carol tasking her to "come
visit me and play with my dol
lies." Then Alice signed her
name.
Yesterday the postman de
livered the letter to Carol's
house at Hersey, Mich., 30
miles away. But there was a
black wreath on the door.
Carol had died of heart disease
the night before.
Tighter Curbs
Loom on Buying
Washington, Oct. 21 M) Pre
sidential Assistant John R. Steel
man feels that still tighter curbs
on installment buying may be
imposed by the government to
combat inflation.
Moreover, he told the Mt.
Holyoke Alumnae association
last night, that other types of
controls "may become neces
sary."
Steelman's hint at new re
strictions came at the end of a
day during which:
1. The national production au
thority (a) restricted rubber
companies in their use of mate
rials and (b) set aside for the
defense program the entire pro
duction of stainless steel con
taining columbium.
2. The commerce department
ordered a ban on all exports of
molasses, a principal source of
industrial alcohol.
The rubber order limits tire
manufacturers and other users
to 75 percent of the amount of
natural rubber they consumed
the year ended June 30. It
sets consumption of ail rubber,
including synthetic, at 84 per
cent of the base year's use.
Officials said this would give
manufacturers about the same
amoqnt of rubber they were get
ting before the Korean war.
They renewed assurances that
no tire shortage is in sight.
The action on molasses fits
into the rubber picture since al
cohol is used in great quantities
by the synthetic rubber plants
which the government is press
ing back into service.
Civil Defense

Marion county's civil defense
program is urgently needed for

Mark Hillary, county defense
director, said Saturday.
A campaign for the recruit
ment of other volunteer work

with member organizations of
the Federated Patriotic Societies
slated to do the recruiting, Hil
lary said.
The colonel also announced
that Manton Carl, Hubbard area
farmer, has been named assist
ant director for the entire coun
ty program.
Other appointments Included
F. Gordan Shattuck and Gene
Huntley, to work as assistants
to D. H. Cameron, defense de
puty for personnel.
UCLA Bonfire
Explodes, 9 Hurt
Los Angeles, Oct. 21 M) A
67 - foot homecoming bonfire
blew up last night in the middle
of thousands of celebrants on the
campus of the University of
California at Los Angeles. The
explosion injured nine persons,
none seriously. Windows several
blocks away were shattered.
Police estimated a crowd of
25,000 students and alumni was
gathered around the huge pile
when it exploded shortly after
it was ignited. Planks and
boxes showered on the crowd,
gathered on the Bruin practice
field.
The injured were treated for
cuts and bruises at nearby San
ta Monica hospital and released.
All were southern Californians.
Students had spent weeks
gathering the bonfire materials.
The celebration preceded the
UCLA - Stanford game today.
Fortunately the crowd was held
back 100 feet by ropes encircling
the bonfire.
Capt. L. E. Christensen of the
campus police said several small
bombs, presumably placed by
pranksters, were removed from
the pile hours before it was ig
nited but one or more may have
been overlooked. He also said
a gunpowder fuse used to start
the fire may have caused the
blast.
The UCLA graduate manager,
William C. Ackerman, said he
had no theory about the cause
but "I am certain Stanford had
nothing to do with it."
lllegalTv.
Station Closed
Washington, Oct. 21 V-The
Federal Communications Com
mission said yesterday it has lo
cated and closed down an illegal
television station its first.
The station, atop a Pennsyl
vania mountain, was being op
erated by the tube division of
Sylvania Electric Products, Inc.,
Emporium, Pa., the FCC said
Sylvania is one of the country's
largest producers of television
tubes.
The explanation given by com
pany officials for the unlicensed
operation, the commission said,
was that they needed TV service
in their business but knew the
two-year-old freeze on TV broad
casting permits ruled out new
station permits.
At Emporium, M. F. Balcom;
Sylvania board chairman, had no
comment.
The FCC noted that unlicensed
TV operation involves a possible
fine of $10,000 or two years im
prisonment or both. It said
"further proceedings will be tak
en in the case.

PLUS! ROMANTIC,
Army lo Call
More Doctors
Washington, Oct. 21U.B The
army plans further calls on the
selective service system for
physicians, dentists and veterin
arians.
It said today that the request
already made to selective service
for 922 physicians, 500, dentists
and 100 veterinarians by Janu
ary IS represents only part of
the army s total needs.
'Additional requests will be
made later as necessary to meet
our requirements," a spokesman
said. "Current uncertainties pre
clude firm estimates being made
more than a few months in ad
vance." Selective service is to meet
the pending request from among
21,101 medical men who regis
tered last Monday.
As soon as the medical draft
law- has produced enough doc
tors to meet current require
ments, an army spokesman said
reserve medical captains and
lieutenants who. have been call
ed to active duty involuntarily
and who have had previous mili
tary duty will be relieved pro
gressively if they request it.
Slightly more than 100 doctors
now on active duty will be eligi
ble for such relief.
Last Monday's registration in
cluded medical men trained at
government expense, or deferred
from military service during
training, who thereafter served
more than 90 days but less than
21 months in the armed services
or public health service.
Other groups of physicians,
dentists and veterinarians are to
be registered between now and
next January, at a date yet to
be fixed by selective service
headquarters. Army officials do
not anticipate early need for
these but said their registration
will let the government know
how many doctors, dentists and
veterinarians are available and
where they are in case they
should be needed eventually.
