GREEN Flags
LABOR BOARD
AND BRIDGES
Says ALL Compelled 10 Be
Led on West Coast by
Communist"

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - Will
liam Green, President of the AFL,
today accused the National Labor
Relations Board of forcing members
OF the AFL West Coast Longshore-
mems Unions to be represented in
collective bargaining by 'the alien
Communist" Harry Bridges.
Criticizing the board in sharp
phrases and calling for four amend
ments to the Labor Act, Green
shouted to the House Investigating
Committee that the board wiped
out his West Coast Longshoremen's
Unions as bargaining units when
the board held the proper unit of
lcngshoremen extended from San
Diego to Washington State
Green said that meant THAT man,
Bridges and his crew, are clothed
with authority to represent AFL
unions. 1t is bad enough to compel
the AFL unions to be merged with
rival groups, but it is increasingly
worse when they are compelled to
be represented by man most all
of us know is a Communist"

INSIDE LOOK AT BUDGET
OF UNITED States With
INCLUSION OF F001N0TE5
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-Un-
derstanding the budget is easy and
you should not become bewildered
about anything you see or read
either in the magazines, the news
papers or even that source of all
worldly wisdom, the Congressional
Record.
The budget is always in balance
To begin with, you add up every
thing Congress is going to spend
That will be a lot of money. Usu-
ally it is a half billion or so more
than the President suggests. That
is the spending side
To balance it. you simply add
together the amount of money
that will come from taxes, which
will be about two thirds or three
quarters of the amount spent
Then add to that the deficit. 1t al
ways comes out even that way
and after all, Uncle Sam has lots
of money.

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Editor

NEW YORK, Jan. 25. - Among
the few sure facts about infantile
paralysis are these:
/. The disease will strike AM
erica in epidemic outbreaks this
year-it always does.
2. No one can predict where.
3. There is no sure preventive.
The thing that causes infantile
paralysis is one of the two small
est known enemies of man.
1t is a particle, called a virus,
about one two-hundred-fifty thou
sandth of an inch in diameter.
The infantile particle last year
made 1898 American children i'll.
This number is small, but not in
aftermath for at least rs percent
of these youngsters were paralzed,
with after care costs OF about ST.
900 year each.
No Way To Reach Virus
The aftermath used to be reck-
oned at so percent. Years of medi-
cal effort and good care have cut
that to rs percent in favorable
situations.
One other basic fact about the
disease has been brought out by
the years of medical effort:
The virus hides in the body
where there is no way of reaching
it effectively. 1t travels inside
nerves. Serums and chemicals do
not get inside nerve cells, and that
is why all have failed to date.
Entirely new lines of attack will
have to be devised if this disease
is to be conquered" say Sc. w.
Schulz, MD, of Stanford Univer-
sity.
He is one of the group which de-
veloped the only new weapon now
on hand. This is zinc Sulfate,
dropped into the nose, as a hope
of temporary immunity during cpl
denies.
The virus apparently enters the
body only through the exposed
ends of alfactory nerves. The search
is to be conquered" says E. w.
gan in 1912. The first promise of
success came in 1886 when Doctors

Good Results

HELSINKI, Jan. 25 Costly
Russian attacks northeast of Lake
Ladoga and resumption of long
range Smelling of Viipuri by the
Red Army artillery, is reported in
the Finnish communique.
The communique declares the
Reds have lost heavily at the
hands of the Finnish forces in
repulsing the general attacks which
continued all day near Aittokpoki
The Soviet forces have again
lost hundreds by the time the at
tacks were turned back this morn
ing by the Finnish forces" says
the communique.
Additional repulses have been
made to enemy thrusts in the far
north.
Fight All Night
Last night was the first time
the Russians have continued at
tacks during the hours of darkness.
Artillery shells were hurled In a
whitening fire against the Finnish
forces together with infantry and
mechanical forces but all attacks
were repulsed with the deadly fire
of the defenders.
Swedish volunteer aviators have
appeared on the northern Finnish
front and are leading raids against
the Reds in the Petsamo Arctic
zone.
The intensified bombing raids
in northern Finland are believed
directly connected with the arrival
of the Swedish volunteers.
1t is also reported that the con-
tinuous attacks of the Russians has
led to the belief that some of the
best Soviet troops are now in the
conflict.

I(KES ASKS
MORE MONEY
FOR ALASKA
WouId Increase INDECENT
Fund-Air Mail Also
Is Discussed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Edward
Bartlett, Commissioner of Accounts
and Deposits in the Treasury, told
a House Subcommittee on Appro-
priations holding hearings on the
Treasury Appropriation Bill, that in
creased suffering among indigents in
Alaska has caused Secretary of the
Interior Harold l.. Ickes to ask a.
$4,000 increase in the Territorys
relief fund next year.
Bartlett also told the committee
that $500 1902 was left in the Alaska
relief fund created by putting in ten
per cent of the receipts from licenses
collected outside the Incorporated
towns of the Territory
Last year, we received a letter
from the Secretary of the Interior
asking us to include in our estimate
enough money to enable them to
give all those receipts to this par
ticular purpose, Bartlett said
Suffering Grows
Representative Ludlow asked If
suffering were on the increase "up
there" and Bartlett replied, Yes.
The budget has been approved for
an increase from $4,000 this year to
$4,000 in the 1941 fiscal year"
Treasury officials also explained
an item of SILL 900 to go to Alaska
for general Territorial purposes came
out of the one percent tax on the
gross income of the Copper River
and Northwestern Railway and the
Pacific-Arctic Railways and Naviga-
ton Company.
Officials said the average of COL
lections amounted to the $1,000
figure for the past two years
Mail Troubles
Clinton Uttley, Superintendent of
the Division Post Office Service, told
the committee that unusual con-
ditions prevailed in Alaska, where
post offices cannot pay third class
clerk hire high enough and would
require an addition of $8,183.
Uttley said, Third class clerk
hire allowance doesn't allow salaries
high enough to take care of the I'M
usual salary conditions up there, >"
and added that many third class
clerks are working for less than
WPA wages and trying to raise a
family on that"
Star Routes
William E. Triem, Superintendent
of the Railway Adjustment Division
of the Post Office, told the com
mittee that his department needed
$4,000 for Star Route services, the
same amount granted this year.
Triem said the department asked
the Budget Bureau for $150,000 but
the figure was cut ten thousand
dollars
