 Received

PRICES IN JAPAN ARE AZ 'SALARIES' B0OSTED

TOKYO, Jan. 28.-Prices of food, clothing and virtually everything else are spiraling upward in Ja- pan-both on legitimate and black markets--and, to keep pace, work CTS are demanding and receiving boosts in living allowances.
 Latest wage settlement in Tokyo and the vicinity is the fiye-fold increase granted to employees of the Kanto Electric Supply Com pany after an 11-day strike.
 Under the Japanese system total income, not basic salary, IS the important factor. That is so be- cause workers get family allowance es for wives and children. depend- ents' allowances for parents, sisters and brothers, price allowances to cope with inflated retail charges. an allowance for n-absence from work, and finally an annual bonus.

 By Soviet Paper

MOSCOW, Jan. 2S.-Isvestia, or gan of the Soviet government, de- clared in an article published yes- terday that Archbishop Francis J Spellman, cardinal designate, was waging active Vatican politics in America.
 The article, written by D. Petrov discussing the appointment of 32 rev cardinals by Pope Plus XII said the Vatican's naming of four new cardinals for the United States and one each for England, Canada and Australia, indicated the Catho- lie church was trying to strengthen it's influence in the Anglo Saxon countries"
 Singling out Archbishop Spellman and Bernard Griffin, Archbishops of Westminster, England, the article said Spellman "by all means de- fended the Vatican when the Vatican, one year after the treach- erous attack of Japan on Pearl Har- bor and despite the many criminal acts of Japanese imperialism, favor able received the Japanese ambassa dor"
 Spellman, the article added, was trying to arouse the American people to accept Franco tGeneraliss- imo Franco of Spain) .

OFFICIAL REPORT

WASHINGTON, Jan 28.-Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson said at his news conference last week that agreement had been reached at the Yalta meeting of the big three for Soviet occupation of the Kurile Islands.
 Even earlier Government off, cials told the Associated Press that the Russians were moving in troops and their families bag and bag gage" apparently for long stay, in the islands which stretch fan wise across the Okhotsk Sea.
 There has, however, been on in- dication from American officials that agreement was reached at Yalta for permanent possession by Russia of the Kuriles. which the Japanese used as springboard early in the war for their assault upon the Aleutians.
 But the agreement for Russian occupation, in itself, would give the Soviet Government powerful first stake claim for their re- tention-regardless of whether a definite commitment was, made at Yalta.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Worst hell-hole in the Pacific is Okinawa. Key stepping stone in the conquest of Japan, Okinawa was bad during the war. GI.'s who have served there five months since say that today it isn't much better One thousand troops jampacked on the island get in each others way, have little recreation, poor food, are terribly home-sick.
 As long as Tokyo is occupied by the American Army, Okinawa lacks military value. Perhaps recognizing this. perhaps also realizing crowd ed conditions on the Pacifics chief hell-hole Gen. w. D. Styer, over all commander of AFWESPAC tArmed Forces West Pacific) in Manila. sent radiogram to OBA. SCCM fOkinawa Base Commando Br:a. Gen.

 The radiogram reached General lawson on Christmas Day, at a si1ne when G.I.'s were thinking ,nc,t about home. General Lawson s,osever. radioed General Styer mat he did not need the ships

MEAT PACKING WORKERS BACK ON JOBS
Old Pioneering Days in Alaska No More;;WouIdbe
 Pioneers Are Given Fads
BY ARTHUR EDISON


 WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.--Every month some 1000 people who yearr to pioneer write Harold Ickes' De- partment of the Interior to say they woud like to move to Alaska.
 And in case you, too, have dream ed of turning a wilderness into a tidy little farm, here's quick tir from M. w. Goding, who looks af- ter Ickes' Alaska mail.
 Look before you leap If you must leap, leap with at least $3,00t in cash
 Not that Goding isn't enthusias- tic about Alaska. He's an old Skag- way boy himself.
 Great country, wonderful oppor- tunities," he ayers.
 But Goding says people don't un- derstand that pioneering has chang ed There was time when a sharp axe and a strong back were the chief requirements. Sturdy charac- ters then were content to eke out a subsistence living.
 But now well, eking isn't fash ionable any more.
 They figure they need radio, Goding told reporter. And of course they can use car. A car means roads will have to be built See how it goes?"
 Free land, Goding said, is the bait. But he warns that much of the land must be cleared. Modern pioneering calls for bulldozer to do the job = at $90 to $l20 an acre.
 Some of the land is plain no &C., count. he added. And much of it is miles from any form of transpor- tation.
 Of course, there are business op- portunities, even though Alaska, for all it's vastness, still has less than 100000 population.
 But Goding advises caution here, too For example, the map may show a promising cluster of com munities. Actually they may con- tain only smattering of people.
 An an illustration, he pointed to Parks, Alaska.
 That's where Georgc Parks lives = by himself"
