PACE TEN
VOTED CLOSED
I COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (P
TKb hnucn ftnmmitMn in V'PSl il!H t-
ing the federal communications
commission voted today 10 ciosc
the hearings to the public, and
rnii(4iA fntiMcel .Ttllltl J.
Sirica immediately tendered his
resignation.
The committee's decision, an
nounced bv Chairman Lea (D
Calif.) at the start of today's
hearing, brought from Rep.
Wiggleworth (R-Mass.), the as
sertion that the vote to termi
nate the "public hearings at this
time may well create a national
scandal."
Wiggleworth voted with the
minority.
In the course of its investi
gation, the committee has in
quired into the sale of radio
station WMCA, New York, to
Edward J. Noble, former under
secretary of commerce.
Witnesses have charged that
Donald Flamm sold the station
under "duress."
Sirica, who said he took the
position as committee counsel
"at. great sacrifice" to himself,
asserted:
"There is great public interest
in this case. I don't want it on
my conscience that I submitted to
a whitewash. Therefore, I am
tendering to you my resignation,
effective immediately."
Wiggleworth, in a statement,
declared:
"How anyone who has listened
to the testimony during the last
three days . . . can vote to close
these hearings to the public at
this time is beyond my compre
hension. . . .
"Ever since the start of this
investigation, this committee and
its staff has met with constant
obstruction, intimidation and
underhand tactics from those in
high places in the attempt to
hamstring its work and to sup
press the truth."
Rep. Hart (D-N.J.) another
committee member, responded
that "all talk of intimidation of
this committee is without founda
tion; all talk of suppression of
fact is entirely without founda
tion." Hart added that "every item
of interest pertinent to the in
quiry will be made public at the
proper time."
"This is not a grand jury," he
said. "It is an investigation
limited to a certain objective,
and I think that objective can
best be obtained by conducting
closed hearings."

The basketball season will
open for the Klamath Pelicans
when they make their first trip

during Christmas vacation.
The squad has been divided
into three teams to play Chilo

According to those in charge,
the sixteenth mwwmmirmKii

Today is Big and Little Sister

broken tuscliige wore lar ueiow,
under 10 feet of snow.
The searchers reported there
was no doubt that all aboard,
most of them servicemen oilhc
way to the states, were insiuniiy
killed. Exhaustive search turned
up only a few personal articles.
The bodies were undoubtedly
buried deep in the snow. Work
of the 44-1111111 expedition in
climbing the mountain under
mid-winter conditions compared
with some of the most hazardous
mountain climbing attempts in
Alaska history, leaders said. The
plane crashed September 18.
Grant Pearson, chief MeKin-
ley park ranger, volunteered his
services. Bradford Washburn
expert consultant, flying clothes
branch, AAr , Wrisht field, Day
ton, Ohio and director of the
Boston museum of natural his
tory, joined the party. He has
made 12 "first attempts" at
climbing Alaska peaks.
Five forward camps on the
mountain's upper slopes were
set up, the last at 11,120 feet.
Gales and temperatures down to
33 below were faced. The ad
vance party was supplied from
the air with equipment a n d
food. An avalanche narrowly
missed some of the men.
"It made a terrific noise and
the whole mountain shook like
there was an earthquake," Pvt.
Jack Yokel, Jackson, Wyo., said.
During the expedition 10,000
pounds of supplies were drop
ped to the party, Capt. William
J. Curry, San Angelo, Tex., sup
ply officer, said. The peak was
at first thought to be Mt.
Brooks, but was later found to
be unnamed. It is in the Mt.
McKinley range.

LIQUOR ANESTHETIC,
SAYS DR.
FORTLAND, Nov. 28 (IP)
Dr. Howiivd W. Haggard, director
of Yule university's applied
physiology laboratory, ilocliii'cd
at the first session of a five-day
conference on alcoholic studies
here -yesterday that he considered
alcohol nil anesthetic rather Hum
a stimulant or sedative.
"When alcohol is absorbed in
the body it depresses and abol
ishes the brain functions, exact
ly as ether does," he stated.
Dr. Haggard claimed, how
ever, that alcohol does not ir
ritate the heart nor brain and
that many diseases attributed to
alcoholism are due, instead, to
its accompaniment malnutri
tion. All the sciences physiology,
psychology, medicine, law, psy
chiatry, economics, government
and education must be marsh
alled in order to solve the com
plex alcoholism problem, the
speaker declared.
Gov. Earl Sncll and the educa
tional advisory committee to the
Oregon liquor control commis
sion are sponsoring the confer
ence, first to be held on the Pa
cific coast.

Now we know the part we played
in the Philippine invasion
The news of the successful invasion of the Phil
ippines stirred the nation. For it was an amazing
achievement landing great numbers of troops
and enormous quantities of supplies thousands
of miles across the Pacific.
It was a thrilling triumph for bur Army, Navy
and Merchant Marine.
We railroaders got a special thrill from the
news too, not only because we are Americans but
also because we know now that months ago the
Philippine invasion started on the railroads.
And many a railroader who, in recent months, has
worked double shifts to keep the war freight roll
ing to Pacific Ports, knows that he, too, had a part
in putting those men ashore on Leyte Island.
This mighty blow at Japan placed an especially
large burden on the Western railroads. Serving
a less populated territory, the Western lines nor
mally do not have tho density of traffic of the
eastern trunk lines, and their trackage was de
signed accordingly. Yet the western roads, in
spite of a manpower shortage, have handled
their enormous war burden efficiently and on
schedule. Theirs has been a real achievement too.
Since Southern Pacific is the largest Western
railroad and serves the major ports of embarka
tion on the West Coast, a very large portion of
the troops and war material destined for the
Philippines moved over our rails. . ,
From now on, more and more of America's
might will roll West over the railroads for the
final showdown with Japan. Southern Pacific's
100,000 railroaders know well how important it
is to keep these war trains rolling. But they need
help. They need the help of thousands of men
and women for this job.
There's a job waiting for you in the supply line
that backs up our men in the Pacific. If you want
a good job with a company whoso biggost job
still lies ahead, please visit one of our employ
ment offices, or see your nearest S.P. Agont today.
