ARs Quiet Along Potomac
 But There's q Night Watch
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Forelgn correspondents who have done a turn in Russia always get a laugh when they see that an announce ment from Moscow has been re- leased at 2 am, or 4 am. or some other unorthodox hour.
 It all dates back to the fact that Tchitcherin, Russian foreign min ister in the anxious "twentieS," suf- fered from insomnia. He couldn' t sleep nights so he used to keep the whole foreign office staff on duty from dusk to dawn.
 At any hour of the night an inn portant pronouncement might come from the foreign office so it kept the correspondents on almost a 24- hour basis.
 But the worst part of it is, the foreign office got in the habit of working at night and h a s mt stopped yet Even during the past week it issued a statement at 4:50 am., which is an unconscionable hour in anybody's language.

CROSS COLD TAX DRAWS FIRE OF MINE OPERATORS
Westward Conference Asks Laws Repeal and An
 other One Enacted

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 12.- Mine operators, meeting with Third Division legislators last night con- demned the three percent gross gold tax and urged that laws repeal.
 It was urged instead that gradu- ated net profits tax be enacted to take it's place.
 Mine operators said they did not expect less tax assessment but seek only more equitable distribution of the taxation.
 They said a graduated scale on net profits hits operators making the largest profits while the small operator, operating on low grade ore and marginal properties is unham- pered.
 The gross tax was attacked as unjust and contributor to retard- ing mining development by making it more difficult to attract outside capital to Alaska
 Legislators at the meeting sug- gested the mine operators draw up bill along the lines desired

She said that she and the steward were discussing the salad dressing when her husband charged into the room and fired at Ceiling.
 Immediately after the shooting, | Smith called the District Attorneys office and said: i've just shot a man here at 269 Gastineau Avenue. You'd better come up
 Smith later told Folta that he shot in self defense when Ceiling made a dive for him.
