COURT ACTON
 OPENS AGAINST
 RECTOR 0LEMD\
Local Cleric Is Ordered to Show Cause Why He
 Should Not Be 0usted

Moscow moves for domination of the Greek Orthodox Church in America stood revealed as an un- deriving issue behind litigation concerning the St. Nicholas Church properties in Juneau, which came up in the U. s. District Court here this morning when F. Evgeni Ol- endy was cited to show cause why he should not be enjoined from possession of local church proper ties.
 The defendant, who has recently been acting as rector of St. Nich- olas Church, known as the Rev. Eugene Olendy, is stated, in an affidavit filed in support of the show cause motion, to have come to Alaska, from Edmonton, Canada, under false pretenses.
 The affiant, John Zlobin, the Right Reverend Archimandrite of the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of the United States of America in Alaska, al- leges that the defendant came to Alaska with the announced inten- tion of assisting the affiant in the latter's work as Priest at Sitka. Instead of doing so, the defendant iS alleged to have arrived in Ju- neau and immediately taken over possession of all the church's prop critics in this city, proclaiming him. self to be in full charge of the church, it's possessions and prop critics in Juneau.
 The defendant is also alleged to have since announced that he is acting under authority from Mos COW and that the church in Russia has forbidden the holding of ser vices by any priest or bishop in any of the churches in America which do not recognize the con- plete and absolute authority of the church in Russia.
 The complaint in the present action at law before the Federal Court here was brought by At torney H. L. Faulkner in the name of the Most Reverend Theophilus, Bishop of San Francisco and Met ropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of the United States of America.
 It is stated that the Most Rev. erend Theophilus' title to all the church's properties in Alaska has been recognized by the courts and that the Rt. Rev. John Zlobin, of Sitka, has the church's properties in Alaska under his jurisdiction.
 The complaint further charges that the defendant Olendy wrong fully entered the St. Nicholas Church and priests house in Ju- neau on March 24, 1945, and with held possession of it from the plaintiff-but that the plaintiff ob- tained possession of the properties again on July 20, 1945. At that time the plaintiff placed locks on the doors of the church and the priests house, together with a warning to trespassers, but that on July 2l, 1945, the defendant broke the locks and wrongfully re-en- tered the buildings and has since unlawfully withheld possession of same from the plaintiff.
 Restoration of. the properties to the plaintiff is prayed for.

gold in the monetary system? Its value
is now confined to the Aield of inter-

that there Is not q sufficient volume of
gold in circulation, being held or at the
disposition of the debtor nations or in

direction of international commerce

place of the old practice which con-
sisted of making up unfavorable bal

future international commerce will de-
pend more and more on the mainte-

foods, services and securities. No ma

Snow

What happened last night and still
is happening today is the grandest
art exhibition of which the human
mind can conceive. Ralph Waldo
Emerson is but one of a veritable
army of poets who have said as
much on other occasions. His
familiar lines must have stirred in
the memories of many persons facing
the storm this morning:
Announced by all the trumpets OF the
sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving DER the
fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: The white air
Hides hills and woods, the river. and
the heaven,
And wells the farmhouse at the gardens
end
More than a century has passed
since the Concord sage looked out
upon the scene thus described. Yet
this present moment he might be
penning the words:
Come, see the north winds masonry.
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected
roof
Round every windward stake, or tree,
or door.
Speeding the myriad handed, his wild
work
So fanciful, SO savage, naught cares he
For n0mber or proportion.
But a different view, also vel
worth recalling, was taken of the
same phenomena by John Ruskin. 9
great contemporary of Emerson
declaring:
In the range of inorganic nature
doubt if any object can be found
more perfectly beautiful than a
fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under
warm light. It's curves are of incon'
ceivable perfection and changeful-
ness, its surface and transparency
alike exquisite, its light and shade
of inexhaustible variety and in
imitable finish, the shadows sharp

The recommendations of the ex-
perts who have submitted revised
report to Chairman O'Mahoney's S
Subcommittee on District Appro-
priations present, in themselves, a
concise statement of the Districts S
case for increasing the Federal pay
ment. Here they are:
1T is believed that it is the desire
OF the Federal Government to
assume its proper share of the
expenses for the upkeep and opera
tion of the National Capital. This
finding is based upon the following
facts:
81. The District of Columbia is the
seat of the Federal Government set
aside for Federal purposes, with full
legislative powers retained by the
Congress.
"2. The area of the District of
Columbia is fixed. 1t cannot expand.
Therefore, when the Federal Gov
ernment purchases property the tax
revenue previously received on such
property is lost to the District and
slnnot be replaced. The residents
of the District in fairness should not
be expected to make up such loss in
revenues by increased taxes.
"3. The enormous increase in the
expenses of the District of Columbia
during the past ten years has been
occasioned by the expansion of the
Federal Government, with no COM
mensurate increase in the payment
by the Federal Government. During
the past six years there has been
no change in the amount of the
annual payment.
81. The residents of the District
through increased taxes have ade-
quately, fairly and cheerfully pro-
vided their share of the cost of
operation and upkeep of the Ma
tional Capital.
'It is believed that the annual
payment to the District of Columbia
should be based on a definite
formula, by the operation of which
the amount of the payment would
be automatically computed, thereby
eliminating the controversy which
has continued through the years
both as to the amount and method
of payment"
The elimination of controversy is
desirable. Even more desirable is
the elimination of inequities and
handicaps to local taxpayers which
adversely affect the welfare of
Washington. Congress has an op-
portunity this year to take a pro-
gressive step in its government of
the District by adopting the formula
proposed.

On the Record
BY Dorothy Thompson

The motor strike involves more. l
think than the matter of a 80 per cent
wage increase. There Is mounting
class struggle; the war accelerated it,
as wars always accelerate social devel-
opments. We have had . generation
of war and revolution, periodic economic
collapse widespread poverty and unem-
ployment, war booms and postwar
slumps, and denation-iniation-
tion-inflation.
The memories of wage workers are
long and apprehensive. The revolt Is
deep and profound everywhere. 1t lies
at the root OF war itself. The root Is
fear-fear OF unemployment: fear OF
the periodic descent from dispossessed
status with wages to . dispossessed
status without income. Combined by
agitators with nationansm Germany
and italy are coolies Of the pluto-de-
mocracies and without colonial outlets
or financial independence, hence our
poverty and insecurity, 1t famed into
Nazi-Fascism. Fascism was the prom
ise of social revolution. Not to realize
that is to be unable to explain 1t at all.
The revolt of the masses Is the
chief fact of the Goth century. The
fear of the fact produces ugly reactions
among the more secure; the ugly reae-
tions inflame the revolt; the revolt Is
articulated by the outcamp intellec-
tuals who hope to ride on the shoulders
of the masses to power; the struggle
for the leadership OF the masses splits
trade union ranks, and when the Situa-
ton is ripe passes the power OF the
closest knit and most fanatical MINOR
ity. whose strategy is to prevent paci-
fcation until the power Is In their own
hands, and the masses are, as always,
mere pawns in the struggle for power,
Reactionaries pose as radicals to cap
ture a mass following (Hitler), ana
radicals become revolutionary-reactlo
aries (CommunistS. In the END, after
bloody massacre, the struggle only con-
firms the proletarian status OF the
workers, minus political liberty, which,
ever wins.

Is the supreme German fallacy that
the state (by its nature an instrument
Of oppression) and the people are the

The worker continues dispossessed of
his tools-the primary cause of the
great rebellion. His proletarian status
Is eternally ratified because the posi-
bility Of rebellion is permanently re-

police power
This is why state capitalism appeals

This Changing World
Bv Constantine Bro,On

The Iranian question is reported to
be among the first on agenda of the Big
Three foreign ministers meeting now in
progress in Moscow.
But because of certain accomplished
facts with which the American and
British secretaries of state are con-
fronted, there Is little to be discussed.
The territorial integrity Of Iran, which
was guaranteed by President Roosevelt,
Prime Minister Churchill and Premier
Stain on December l, 1943, must be
sacrificed for the sake of good under
standing among the three major powers
in whose hands the fate OF the rest of
the world is now being placed.
The American Government, which has
no territorial or economic aims in that
area of the world, has duly protested
the preaching of the treaty which guar
anteed the Iranian Kingdom its terri
torial integrity.
In all probability Secretary of State
Byrnes will reiterate at the Moscow
Conference what he has already said in
his notes to Russia and Great Britain
and the incident" will thus be closed.
The British government is less con-
cerned about the Iranian situation so
interfering with Britain's position in
Southern Iran.
Like the majority of the great powers,
Britain is "oil minded" The exploita-
tion of the Southern Iranian oil fields
is in the hands of the Anglo-Persian
Oil Co. Since it was not possible to
prevent Russia from detaching the oil
rich Azerbaijan from Iran, the British
will be satisfied If Russia pledges herself
not to interfere with the British inter-
ests in the south.
The differences in the policies of the
two countries which have battled for the
domination of Persia for nearly 100
years is that while Russia has a COM
plete political. economic and military
control over the area in which she is
interested, Britain does not object to the
Teheran government exercising political
control and drawing royalties from the
southern oil region.
The British government is worried
over the question of how long the
Teheran government will remain in the
hands of the present government ap-
pointed by the King. The subject likely
will form topic Of bilateral discus
sions between British Foreign Minister
Bevin and Russian Foreign Commissar

methods of resisting outside pressure.
It holds japanese culture in great con-
tempt. It is also anti-Western.
1t may well be that the rioting OF
Chinese students, now being reported,
springs from this liberal movement. A
report by A. T. Steele to the New York
Herald Tribune tells OF the pleas made
by these students that American SOL
diers get out of China:

dear U. s. soldiers. Let China take

The union of the Communists and
Chang in 1923, In which Russian diplo-
macy was very active, has been called
the second stage of the Chinese revolu-
ton. Following three years OF unity,
Chang Kai-shek split with the Com
tablished, in 1926. The Kuomintang is
government by one party. Even Sun
Fo is member.
The growing lack of confidence to-
ward the Western powers Is revealing
itself in many places IN China. An
Americans report from Shanghai says;
One of the most disquieting changes
Is the attitude of old Chinese friends
who used to stick their necks out for
us. Today they are reluctant, i'll at
ease. Pressed for promise or state
ment, they say. Listen. my friend, In q
few months American troops will be
gone. There isn't any International
Concession any more. When you are
gone, where will your friends like us
be?'"

known as friend Of the United States,
the situation can hardly be regarded as
reaSsuring.

that American military and naval forces

this condition, and 1t may be assumed
that when the> matter comes down 10
loans the removal of American troops
will be arranged with a sigh OF relief on
both sides.
There is a great so-called liberal
movement in China, which the leaders
claim is based or, the tradition OF the

head Of this group is Sun Fo, the son

Successful 'Strike'

There has been a disposition at
the District Building to belittle the
one-day strike" at the Kimball
Elementary School with the state
ment that it was wholly unnecessary
and that it had nothing to do with
forthcoming assurances that con-
struction of a needed addition would
begin this spring.
Perhaps this is the case. Perhaps
the plans outlined by Colonel Joseph
D. Arthur, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, to delegation of striking
parents have been there all along.
Perhaps the plans could have been
outlined to them last week, before
they struck, just as they were on
Monday, after they struck.
If so, somebody at the District
Building is deplorably deficient in
a sense Of responsibility to the
parents. The plans for the strike
were discussed openly for several
days in advance of the demonstra-
ton and it was then that the au-
thorities at the District Building
should have moved quickly to assure
the parents that everything possible
was being done to remove the con-
ditions for which there is so just
complaint.
Had this been done, with the same
earnestness, before the strike took
place, the demonstration would have
been generally condemned as an
unseemly example. But as it is, the
parents who took this unusual
method of airing their grievances
seem to have been fully justified by
the course of events which followed.
They got a promise of action which
hitherto had been lacking.
