 ByMrs. Sydney Laurence

With Mrs. Laurence on her return to Juneau Monday and her de- parture to Anchorage Tuesday was Mrs. Rose Murphy, an Anchorage resident, who for the past two years has been visiting in New York City.
 The two Alaska residents, who have known each other Tor num- Der of years, met accidentally in Portland, Ore, last week when they were enroute to Seattle for pas sage to Alaska. Finding transpor- tation facilities impossible out of Seattle, they chartered seven- passenger Norseman in which they made the trip to Juneau, and left yesterday by PIMA for the remain der tof the trip to Anchorage.
 Mrs. Laurence has been a resi- dent of Alaska for the past 20 years and during that time has painted landscapes in the Terri itory as well as flowers. Her par ticular interest, however, lies in flowers.
 You sec" she explained, when told my friends in the States about the beautiful flowers here, they smiled in polite disbelief and went on to ask about the ice and snow. I decided that the only way to convince Outsiders that we have some of the loveliest flowers in the world right here in the Territory as well as glaciers-was to do a lock on them.
 And" she added with a smile of almost impish anticipation, T can't wait to send my friends on the East Coast a copy of the book containing $50 wildflower pictures. ?

Only four days before its final re-

Long Pre|iminaries
Still in Prospect for
i. n. Atomic Program
BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, July 6.-The United
Nations atomic conferences hope to
complete the first phase of their
deliberations by next week end, but
it was apparent today that world
ltomic control could be established
only after long, painstaking pre-
iminaries.
One authoritative source said that
only a very optimistic view" would
support the idea that any concrete
atomic program may be ready for
submission to the Security Council

If the General Assembly scheduled

The United States delegation said
that even after the adoption of
atomic controls ''the process of put

Must Be Done by Stages.
1T will have to be done by stages
and according to prearranged
schedules based on sound and logical
sequence leading to full and effective
establishment of all controls" a
memorandum from the Americans
iaid.
However, the preliminary work
cleared away thus far under the
tast-paced leadership of Australian
Foreign Minister Herbert v. Evatt
has resulted in nearly complete
outline charting a course through
the areas of mutual dissent in the
separate United States and Russian
plans for atomic control.
DR. Evatt himself, after a strenu-
Gus two months as leader of the
Australian delegation to the Secu-
rity Council and atomic groups. be-
gins on Monday his last week as
chairman of the 12-nation Atomic
Energy Commission, its full mem
bershlp working committee and its
six-member subcommittee No. l.
Brazilian to Head Group.
Under the monthly rotation sys-
tenn, the gavel passes to the nominee
of the Brazilian delegation after
July IA.
DR.. Evatt is expected to remain a
few days after he retires from the
chairmanships and then 60 to Paris
for the peace conference.
Subcommittee No. will meet for
probably the last time Monday aft
ernoon, with DR.. Evatt presiding,
but will remain on call as a CO.
ordinating factor while the Work
ing Committee sets up other organs
to handle subsequent jobs such as
the drafting of the subcommittee
outline.

The reason that Chang OBJ
jects to these demands is also
simple. Government in China
has always been a game of
graft and looting. Chang wants
the right to loot these areas, to
put it bluntly. He wants to send
soldiers to take the crops at
will. He wants to appoint all
the local officials and take the
graft.
Here's an example of what
the fighting is about. 1 talked
with Mr.. Fan, finance chief for
the Border Region. This region
used to be afflicted with great
famines in which families died
out and small daughters were
sold as slaves. Since the Com
munists came and set up
peoples government" there
have been no famines.

ONE REASON is that they
keep the cost of government
low. The total crop of the re-
gion, even now after Commu-
mist measures have increased
the soWn area by $50, is just
enough to give everybody ore
pound of wheat or millet every
day in the year. That's all, but
that's wealth in China where
vast numbers are chronically
underfed. The people of this re-
gion will fight for their pound
of millet a day.
In the old days, the costs of
corrupt, extravagant govern
ment took as high as 4796 of
the crop. Today the tax rate
averages about $50 of the crop.
This is because the income of
a government official is hardly
higher than that of a peasant.
Mr.. Fan gets as salary one
pound of millet daily, four
