BIKINI TEST
REHEARSAL ION TARGET

ABOARD A BPS CIRCLING BI- kini-The B29 crew scheduled to drop the atomic bomb in a few days outguessed the weather Monday and scored "good7 results with a prac- tice bomb-after their planes pro- peller killed an Army Air Force captain just before the take-off.
 Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey of Den ton, Texas, who rode the B-29 that dropped the practice bomb Monday, said:
 "The Queens Day mission from an air operations point of view was apparently satisfactory. Final iudg- ment depends on photographs and reports"
 (From the U. S. S. Mckinley, As sociated Press Correspondent Elton c. Fay quoted the atomic bomb task force commander, Vice Admiral w. H. R. Blandy, as saying that the ex- pertinent was swell, I hope the real show is as good as the rehearsal.'
 Clouds obliterated the taget ships in Bikini Lagoon when the B-29 piloted by Maj. Woodrow Swancutt of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis, made the first run. But by the time the big plane came around again, the bom- bardier, Harold H. Wood, of Borden town, N. J., was able to take advan- tage of shifting clouds to drop his practice bomb within thirteen sec ends of the scheduled time.
 (Fay, aboard the Mt. Mckinley said the bombs went off Hike ball of orange flame bursting close to the target ships" in the Bikini fleet that is to be used on or about July when the worlds fourth atomic bomb is dropped The Mt. Mckinley was 10 miles away, but Fay said the bomb apparently went off at an al titude of 1000 to 1,5OO feet be- tween the old battleship USS New ada and the light carrier, Indevend- ence.)

SMITH TO RETIRE
 FROM FOREST SERVICE

Harold E. Smith, Administrative Assistant in the Alaska branch of the U. s. Forest Service, will re- tire from active duty on July 1, 1946 after 35 years with that organ ization.
 Smith received his first appoint ment in the Forest Service on July n, 1911 as an Assistant Forest Ranger on the Deshutes National Forest in Oregon, his home state. He was detailed to the Siulaw National Forest in August, 1913 and worked there as Chief of a Land Classification party until November 1914 when he returned to his form CT position on the Deschutes. He left for Alaska in May, 1919. This was not Smith's first visit to the Territory as he had done some placer mining in the Nazina River district during the summer of 1903
 The first two years on the Toa- gass National Forest were spent at Ketchikan and Craig. Smiths next assignment was as Forest Ranger In c0dfRe Ol Iue IIiuG6 " illldlll Sound district of the Chugach Ma tional Forest with headquarters at Cordova followed by and one half years with the Regional Office at Juneau on CCC activities. When this program ceased, Smith was again placed in charged of the Admiralty Division at Juneau ia |1941 and held this position for a year. Since 1922 he has been at tached to the staff of Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman who states that Smith has made an enviable reputation in Alaska thru his marked ability as a Forester and as an efficient public servant.
 Following retirement, he and Mrs Smith will visit Lake Hasselborg to enjoy some fishing before leaving for Lake Samamish near Seattle where they expect to make their future home.

FILE TO HOLn CLAIM

Under existing law suspension of the requirement. that assessment work be performed on Alaskan mines will continue at least until July 1, 1947
 The Act of May 3, 1943, suspend ed annual assessment work until the hour of 12:00 o'clock merdain on the first day of July after the ces- seation of hostilities in the present war, as determined by proclamation of the President or concurrent reso- lution of the Congress. It is obvious that the proclamation will not be issued or the concurrent resolution adopted before July first of this year. Therefore, assessment work will not have to be performed before the year starting July l, 1947, at the earliest.
 It is emphasized that every claim ant of a mining claim in order to obtain benefits of the Act of May 8, 1943, must file, or cause to be filed. in the office where the loea- ton notice or certificate is recorded, on or before 12:00 o'clock meridian of July 1. a notice of his desire to hold his mining claim or mining claims

MARsHAL's OFFICE TO
 CRACK DOWN ON GAMBLING

\ communication from U. S. Mar shaPs office. w. T. Mahoney, Mar shal for the First Division. promises action as far as slot machines and such gambling devices are concerned. The communication, addressed to the local Deputy MashaPs office. with James Lovett in charge, is as follows.
 During the past few weeks this office has had several inquiries as to the policy that will be pursued in regard to the seizing of gambling equipment and especially slot mach ines which have an automatic pay off; and these inquiries, no doubt, arise from the fact that Chapter 4n of the Extraordinary Session Laws of Alaska, 1946, appear to legalize, regulate and tax gambling machines and equipment.
 In my opinion. from all legal ad- vice I have been able to secure, this said Chapter 40 of the Extraordiu- ary Session Laws of Alaska, 1946, does not supercede the Organic Act and therefore cannot and does not legalize the use of gambling equip ment. The Organic Act states: ''No1 shall the Legislature not any muni- cipality interfere with or attempt in any wise to limit any act of Con- gress to prevent or punish gambling and all gambling implements SHALL BE SEIZED by the United States Marshal or any of his deputies, or any constable or police official and destroyed"
 Marshal Mahoney goes on to in struct the Deputy Marshals office to seize and take into your posses sion any and all gambling equip ment operating operating in public places. Upon seizure of any mach ines the Deputy shall notify the pro prietOr of the establishment in which the gambling machines were remov- ed, requesting that the owner claim said machines in writing at the U. IS. Marshal's office within 10 days from date of seizure. Deputy U. s. Marshals seizing gambling equip ment of any kind will notify this of- flee immediately if said machines were operating in any establishment in which a liquor license has been granted.
 You are advised that duly or ganized fraternities or nationally organized clubs are not to be con sidered as being public places, how ever, clubs organized simply for the purpose of dispensing liquor, food or gambling are not to be considered within this category

UNION AND SALMON
 INDUSTRY SIGN AGREEMENT


 Local 30, International Fishermen and Allied Workera of America, CIO, announces the signing of an agree ment with the Alaska Salmon Indus. try Inc. for fish prices in South. eastern Alaska for the l946 season. Prices agreed upon were twenty cents for pinks four cents over the 1y4J price. twenty-two cents for Chums five cents over the 1945 price, fOrty-two cents for echoes four cents over the 1945 price. fifty-three cents for reds five cents over the 1945 price and one dollar and seyenty-six cents for kings six teen cents over the 1945 price. The increase on pinks and chums amounts to the thirty per cent in- crease which the union had, origi- nally demanded.
 In addition to these prices the delivery price for fish delivered to the cannery was increased from one to one and one-half cents per fish and the requirement. that the fish be caught more than fifteen miles nun tue NaAnGAg lu uAA AnB LuE uE- livery price was eliminated Other gains included the raising of the limit when the catch is limited by the cannery from 750 fish per man to 500 fish per share, and a pro- vision that any future locals est ablished this year by the CIO fisher men shall automatically be in cluded in the agreement.
 The IFAWA negotiating com mittee hailed the signing of this agreement as the greatest victory ever won by organized fishermen in Alaska. We recognize a state ment of the committee said, that our victory was made possible only by the support of other CIO unions throughout the territory. The sup port given us by the longshOremen, the Alaska Fishermen's Union, the FTA-CIO cannery workers and tfe militant position taken by our own rank and file resulted in our vim ing our fight without the necessity of resorting to economic action"

The Political Mill
BY Gould Lincoln

eign sources that last March Franco
believed his number was up-that he
had packed his bags and was ready to
get out. However, when Poland offered
its original resolution, sentiment in
Spain veered, and Franco decided to
hold on
At the time the Polish resolution was
offered, British and American repre-
sentatives took the position that much
was being accomplished, through diplo-
matte channels, looking TO the retire
ment Of Franco and a new, democratic
form of government in Spain. There
fore, they said, it would be unwise to
sever diplomatic relations.
Underlying all the backing and filling
IN the Security Council over Franco
and his government is a fear on the
part of the western democracies that
if Franco is forced out before some
stable kind of government can be estab-
lished to take frances place, chaotic
situation may develop in Spain. This
might provide good field for COM
munism to raise its head there. And
this is what the western democracies
do not want to happen. Particularly
is this true of England
Soviet Russia, on the other hand, is
hopeful of just such a situation in
Spain. 1t is in line with her policy of
constantly expanding her sphere of
influence. Russia played as important
a part as she was able during the
Spanish civil war-and she wants to
cash in on that effort when Franco
goes out
All of this pulling and hauling in
the Security Council apparently is Civ
ing Franco another life" 1t is con-
,ceivable that even if the matter goes
TO the General Assembly, this same
conflict of interests may so divide the
nations that the Assembly may be as
unable to take action as the Council
has been. 1t will be remembered, how
ever, that the Assembly during its Lon
don meeting last winter did adopt
resolution drastically attacking the
Franco government.
So there may be real hope that the
impasse can be broken in the Assembly.
But how effective the mere breaking of
diplomatic relations with the Franco
government may turn out to be is
anybody's guess. Stronger measures
NAV be needed

Pruvdu's Contribution

If the Moscow newspaper Pravda,
official organ of the Communist
party, speaks with the voice of the
Soviet government, the American
people might as well face the strong
probability that the Baruch plan for
international control of atomic
energy is dead.
For more than a week the Russian
press has refrained from comment
on the Baruch proposals. During
that interval there has been an
effort to belittle the atom bomb,
the Russian people being told that
it is extremely expensive to make
and not as effective as the bombs
commonly used during World War II.
The past week also has been marked
by shift in emphasis in Russian
propaganda, veering away from
denunciation of British imperialism
in favor of a vigorous attack on
the United States.
If this was not actually intended
to lay a foundation for the Pravda
statement, it nevertheless serves
that purpose. And Pravda has made
the most of the opportunity.
The Russian people, who have
never been permitted to see the
details of the Baruch plan, are told
that the American proposal reflects
evident striving for world rule"
They are told that the plan is de-
signed to clinch the monopoly posi-
tion of the United States in the pro-
duction of atomic weapons for an
indefinite period" and finally, &C
cording to Pravda, there can be no
surrender of the right of veto in
matters pertaining to atomic control.
Since the Baruch plan is rooted in
the surrender of the right of veto
by all nations so that control of
the atom can be lodged effectively
with a supranational agency, the
Russian position as stated by Pravda
is equivalent to a rejection of the
security guarantees upon which this
countrGmust insist before giving up
its atomic secrets. If this is Russia S
final word on the subject we would
be we'll advised to face the obvious
conclusion, namely, that once again
we must look to our own security.

receive proper treatment. Later, Mr.
Braden Is reported to have told the
general that there were 600 more such
persons of whom the United States
Government disapproved. When the
general asked for their names, Mr..
Braden said our ambassador in Buenos
Aires George Messersmith, has the
full list, which will be handed to the
Argentine government shortly.
At the same time it was emphasized
by our State Department officials that
there can be no major change in our
policy toward the Peron administration
until the Nazis have been completely
disposed of.
President, Peron Is a shrewd man who
likes to play both ends against the
middle. While Gen. Won der Becke was
suffering minor rebuffs in Washington,
the Soviet commercial mission-200
strong-was playing up to President
Peron, making extravagant promises
to provide Argentina with all kinds of
industrial equipment in exchange for
some OF the cou1try's foodstuffs. More
over, the mission has been instrumental
in bringing about diplomatic reconcilia-
tions between the two countries, and a
Soviet Ambassador is expected to arrive
in Buenos Aires within the next few
weeks
President Peron is aware that Soviet
economic and diplomatic missions are
always accompanied by agitators who,
under one guise or another, manage to
cause disturbances and promote Com
munist propaganda in the country to
which they are assigned. The example
of Brazil. where Ambassador Jacob
Suritz arrived several months ago, is
typical. A few weeks after he pre-
sented his credentials there were dis
turbances which now have reached re-
bellious proportions in several Bra
lillian states.
Peron is aware of this. But because of
the unofficial rebuffs his personal rep
resentative received at the hands of
some high-ranking State Department
officials, he is likely TO veer toward clos
er collaborat ton with Argentinas s new
found friend-the U. S. S. r.
The failure of Gen. Won der Becke's
mission eventually may have unfavor-
able repercussions on the hemisphere
solidarity which the Chapultepec agree
ment last year attempted to establish.
