 Ideas, Aetivifies"

TULSA, Okla, Feb. 22.-Alf M Landon, 1886 Republican Presiden- tial nominee and former Kansas governor, said today the country's $ greatest danger was a slow rot of the ideas and activities which are the foundation of popular govern ment."
 The Topeka, Kansas, oil man added in speech prepared for de- livery before the Chamber of Con- merce Public Affairs forum that the peril lay in the citizen who is either unfilling or unable to think rationally for himself
 He decried the tempered skep- ticism and freezing cynicism" which he said create racial hatred
 Landon said there was an organ ized campaign to create distrusts and suspicion and hatred of the one and universal protector of the weak and heavily burdened."
 While this campaign is aimed primarily at one church, it is de- structive yof all denominations Christian and Jew alike" the Kan- san continued.

BY sPENcER MoosA

CHUNGKING, Feb 22. -- The three story downtown office anc book store of the Communist new China Daily News was wrecked to- day.
 Intruders smashed all furniture and tossed it out of windows with fittings, personal belongings of em- oloyees and books and papers, which were torn to bits.
 Communists charged the intru- ders were Kuomintang (NationaD party secret service men. They said the intruders battled Communist employees from room to room and floor to floor.
 Two employees were hospitalized with serious injuries. Meantime, more than 10000 Chinese students marched through Chungking streets, demanding that Russia "quit Man cnuria" and asking that Com munists answer five questions, in- cluding who is organizing puppet regimes in Manchuria."
 Unidentified d intruders also wrecked the business offices of the Democratic Daily, mouthpiece of the Democratic League which has been protesting government policy in Manchuria.
 Five Chinese newspapers here carried joint protest by 20 na- cionally known scholars calling the Yalta secret agreement the most rmjustified in modern diplomatic history.
 They charged that the late Pres ident Roosevelt traded Manchuria for Russian support in the Japan csc war and declared that his tragic mistake" could not be ex- cused despite his contributions to- ward victory.

SANITARY SURVEY
 OF CITY IS FIRST
 STEP, RAT CONTROL

Methods for making a comprehen- sive sanitary survey of all private and business premises as the first step in the Rodent Control Program were outlined to Zone Leaders by James Stone, at a meeting held last night in the Juneau Public. Health Center in the Territorial Building. MT. Stone emphasized the fact that the main purpose of the rod ent control program is not just a whirlwind campaign to eliminate rats through trapping and poison ing; rather, it is to be a long, range program leading to the event. ual riddance of anything which would attract the rodents, or pro- vide harborage for them.
 This is program calling for the wholehearted cooperation of every lone in the community, and can be carried out successfully only with that cooperation.
 1 Some of the objectives are an improvement in garbage collection and disposal, which would greatly cut down sources of food supply; the removal of structural and in- cidental rat harborage; the institu- ton of rat-proofing measures in both new and old construction; the adoption of municipal ordinances which will provide better sanitary conditions throughout the city, and the organization of a permanent Rodent Control Committee.
 Juneau has been divided into 20 zones with Zone Leader appoint ed by Frank Metcalf, Chairman of the Committee on Zones. Each Zone Leader will appoint his own Block Leaders, who will make the actual surveys, working on conjunc- tion with their Zone Leaders and officials of the Public Health Ser vice. By dividing the work among sufficient number of workers it is felt that the actual survey can pc acCoAAPiioiicd III d CoiilpdI dtlVtly brief time and without undue hard ship on any of the workers.
 This is a program which will make Juneau a cleaner, healthier and more attractive city, and with the cooperation of all home owners, business houses and property own- CTS it cannot fail of eventual sue cess.

The w ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-U. S.-Canadian officials haven't wanted to pub- !icize it, but one thing which has irked them for sometime is the suspiciously large staffs maintain ed by the Soviet in Ottawa, Wash .ngton and certain other strategic Western Hemisphere capitals such as Havana and Rio de Janeiro.
 In Ottawa, for instance, there are around 24O Russian attaches, some of them going and coming across the border so often that it is dif- ficult to keep track of them.
 That any foreign government should need so large a staff in Ottawa was considered cause for suspicion, even aside from the re- cent leakage of highly secret mili- tary information. In Moscow, for instance, the British Government maintains a staff of not much over 20. The American staff in Moscow is about the same.
 On the other hand the Russians maintain a staff of l36 in the small country of Cuba. In Mexico prior to the mysterious death of Ambassador Oumansky, the Soviet staff was even larger.
 In Ottawa, ten homes aside from the Embassy are officially leased to Russian attaches. They are: 24 Blackburn Ave, 14 Range Road, 55 Somerset St. w, TT Marlbor- oueh Ave, 38 Vaughn St., 150 Met calf St., 154 Daly Ave, Al Spring field Road, 429 Rideau St. and 235 Chapel St. Quiet surveillance of these homes, however, has shown that every one of them is jammed with cots and extra beds.
 Officially, of course, the Soviet representation in Canada is well under 240. And it IS believed that some of thu, unofficial influx into Canada is from the Soviet Embassy in Washington. They cross back and forth across the border con- tinually and, of course, enjoy dip- lomatic immunity.
 Meanwhile, U. s. officials have become interested in the appoint ment of a new Soviet Ambassador

 Swedish newspapers have been cautioned not to publish the names of places where the rock cts appear, so that the senders would not be provided with inn portant data.

 "On August 9 at 1:lO pm, an American plane of the type C-47 flew over the airfield in Lijubl- jana at 5000 meters altitude and cirCled twice.
