it is not difficult to understand the

Cancer of the stomach colon and

are among the most durable types
of cancer. Approximately 1870 OF
cases Of cancer of the breast could
be cured if women would consult a
physician as soon a any lump in
the breast is noted, and about 1870
of cases of cancer Of the womb
could be cured if an immediate in

persons are cured Of cancer. Be

When helicopters do roost on our roofs, as they
say they will, the telephone will be there, too.
1t will also have been present in each step Of
the planning, the building, the bringing to reality
every fantastic dream of today.
The dreams in other mems minds inevitably
create tremendous tasks for us, because their
dreams take for granted speedy communication
by telephone.
The big job they give us will take a lot Of
planning, a lot of equipment, a lot of skilled
workmanship and a huge investment Of
money-money that must come from investors
with faith in the credit and earning ability of the
business. 1t will tax our capacities but we look
ahead confidently.
Every present telephone customer has a certain
stake in what's to come. As new telephones are
joined to today's system, telephone service in
general becomes more useful and valuable.
As telephone service steps along with the march
of progress, we will be ruled by our interested

service at the least cost to the public consistent
with fair treatment Of employees and the financial

Communists Fire On Train Bearing U. $. Marines

SHANGHAI, Nov. Is - (P) - U. S.-China theater headquarters reported that a train bearing Maj. Gen. Dewitt Peck, First Marine Division commander was under fire in a Communist occupied North China village yesterday.
 Gen. Peck was not injured, but requested United States planes to strafe the village if the firing con- tinued.
 Headquarters disclosed that It. Gen. Wedemeyer, commanding United States force in China in a careful reply authorized "appro- priate military action," but only after considerable warning to the village and adequate precautions to avoid endangering innocent persons.
 Headquarters was unable to confirm Tientsin reports that Ma rines aboard the train had re- turned the fire.

Success, Failure Of Control Program Up To Russia

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-(P)- Russia holds the key to the sue cess or failure of the Anglo-Amer- ican contol program. American officials say the next move is up to Moscow, hence the immediate future is viewed as an extremely critical period by those who re- gard the existence of the atomic bomb as probably the foremost problem of diplomacy in the world.
 Truman, Attlee and King laid the ground work yesterday for a test of their proposal for the United Nations organization to create a special commission for atomic energy.
 Russia's reaction may either be made known quickly or withheld until the United Nations hold it's organization meeting in London the first week in January. Mean while the world will probably learn smoothing more about American thinking on the subject tonight from Secretary Byrnes.
 The State Department said Byrnes would devote part of his speech to the three power declar- ation when he appears at a testi- monial dinner in Charleston, South Carolina.

A spokesman of Chiang's said the destination was Changchun, capi- tai of Manchuria, which uncon- firmed reports say is in the hands of Chinese Communists after the withdrawal of the Russians.

Alaska Marine Rates To Be Investigated

At the request of the War Ship ping Administration, the United States Maritime Commission will investigate the entire Alaska wa ter rate structure this month, ac- cording to information reaching Delegate Bartlett. The hearings are to be held in Seattle probably the latter part of November.
 Need for the inquiry is brought about by the fact that the War Shipping Administration, opera tors of Alaska carriers since the beginning of the war, will soon have to withdraw from the opera tion, probably within a period of a few months.
 "This poses a problem of ex- treme urgency for all the people of the Territory" said Delegate Bartlett. "Government sour S state that despite the surcharges still in effect, very large deficits are being incurred. I am told this has run into millions of dollars in 1945. Shipping experts with the government have guessed that peacetime Alaska marine rates may have to be from eighty to one hundred per cent above those prevailing before the war if the carriers are going to stay in busi- ness. They cite higher operating costs in all categories, plus the need for amortization schedules to pay for the new ships which will be required for the trade"
 The proposed investigation will, it is expected make available data which will allow a future pattern to be worked out.
 Neither I nor any other layman who has not had opportunity to examine into the whole matter can say it will not be necessary to raise rates," Bartlett declared, "but it can be emphatically de- clared that it is idle to talk about development of Alaska if the al ready crushingly high rates are to
