The ginsham dog went 'Bow-wow-wow!"
And the calico cat replied "Mee-ow!"
With bits Of gingham and calico.
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney

For it always dreaded family row!
(Now mind: I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true

JUNEAU HOST TO MEN OF TWO NAv|ES
AFL L0NG5HOREMEN
 RE-SIGN CONTRACTS WITHIN LABOR LAW
Dolkmen at Petersburg, Skagway, Kodiak Agree
 -CI0 Holds Out

Wora was received here this morn- ing by Northland Transportation Company Agent Henry Green that steamship operators have signed one-year agreements with three longshoremen unions in Alaska, in Petersburg, Skagway and Kodiak The agreements were without change over last year, which means that the contracts did not include clauses excluding unions from the regulations of the new labor law.
 The longshoremen in these three ports belong to the International Longshoremen's Association, Ameri- can Federation of Labor.
 CIO longshore unions in Alaska apparently are still holding out for their original demand that their con- tracts include clause absolving the unions from liability under the Taft Hartley Law.
 However, the action taken by the AF'L unions. in agreeing to abide by the new laws regulations by renew ing contracts, would open the pos sibility of the establishment of AFL longshore unions in other Alaska ports should the CIO unions main- tain their stand.

ANNFIELD PLAIN, Eng, Aug Nineteen Durham coal min CTS perished in an explosion in the Morrison North mine here to- day. All the burned and mutil- ated bodies were brought to the surface.
 It was the second mining dis aster to hit coal-short England within a week. Only five men survived the blast, and they suf- fered burns and multiple injuries.
 William Welch, National Coal Board area manager, said under takers and relatives were exper- fencing difficulty identifying the victims William Younger, who was working in another section of the mine, gave this description of the blast:
 There was no noise, but we felt a Hast of hot air rush past us We went in. Dust was flying through from the seam to the bottom.
 AS we entered the explosion area we came upon three men, two alive, one dead. We raised the alarm and started to get the men out. Eventually we got l9 men out to a place where there was some air. Five were alive

Seeptilism Expressed d Announcement of Lib-
 erafion Sunday

SEOUL, Aug 23-tR-The Rus sians announced today that three American enlisted men, taken into custody just inside the Soviet Oc- cupation Zone in north Korea Aug 12, would be released Sunday.
 The American Liaison Officer at Pyongyang, Russian Occupation Headquarters, was informed by a representative of the Soviet Com mand that the Americans would be released at the point where they crossed the border
 The three are ITS Tommy P Pugsley of Benton, Wash; PFC John D. Hopfe of Seattle and PFC. Gerald K. Geffen of Port Chester, N. Y.
 An American Intelligencer Officer said they would be interviewed in Seoul Sunday morning.
 The Intelligencer Officer express ed some skepticism of the Russian announcement, however.
 Our attitude here he said, lis seeing is believing" and added that the Russians had promised to release the soldiers once before, the day fol- lowing their seizure. fThe Army had not previously disclosed the earlier Russian promise to release the men)
 It. Gen. John R. Hodge, Com mander of the American tsouthern) Occupation Zone in Korea. had lodged two strong protests against the arrest of the Americans, who were on an official mission to in- spect telephone lines connecting U. 5. Headquarters in Seoul with those at Pyongyang.

D0UkH0B0R55AID BURNING HOMES IN
 pR0TESTS TO WAR
Police Achievements Are Moving Info Kootenay
 Valley in B. (.

SOUTH SLOGAN, B. C., Aug. 23. under arrest today on charges connected with a reign of arson and terror in the Kootenay Valley which some officials attributed to a fanatical Doukhobor sect pro- testing the coming of a third world war.
 These authorities expressed the belief that some of the nude, chanting, praying radicals were burning their own homes to en- phasize the nature of their sacri- fical protests against war.
 Police endorsements were nov ing into the fertile valley-250 miles east of Vancouver-today at the request of other Doukhobors who feared further burnings and terrorism. Attorney General Cor don S. Wismer appointed w. w. Ferguson of Nelson, B. C., a special prosecutor to act against the terrOriStS.
 Police identified two of the iDoukhobors in custody as Nickoll Boriskoff and Annie KoStinotf, and said they and the others who were not identified by name were taken into custody after farmhouses famed as separate sects of the Russian-ancestored relig- ious group put the torch to homes.
 More than score of homes, schools and community buildings have been burned since the terror first began several weeks ago.
 Last night, police said, Anista Arishinkoff, a Doukhobor house. wife, knelt in prayer with her 21- year-old daughter and watched flames consume her home at Shoreacres, B. C., as a group of tfa Sons of Freedom-one of the Doukhobor sects-chanted in fren- zy. She told newsmen: T protest the coming of World War IT.

DORSEY SWINGS, GOODMAN SWANS AT HOT SESSION

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 23.-R-Ben- ny Goodman, long known as the King of Swing, apparently was out swung by Tommy Dorsey. That much seemed certain today.
 Goodman was home nursing a sore nose and chin where, Goldwyn pub licists said, Trombone Tommy land ed the old one-two at a recording session that got hot in more ways than musical.
 The story, as the studio spokes- men reconstructed it, was that Goodman arrived two hours late for the date yesterday, then aroused Dorsev's ire-not always deeply hid den-by interpolating some hot licks which caused a remake. Dorsey re- portedly said.
 Look, Benny came here at nine with the other boys, after working until two. Maybe you can sleep but we'd like to get this over with"
 An exchange of phrases led to Dorsey's blows, ringsiders said. Goodman, who apparently landed only verbally, picked himself up off the bandstand and went home
 Later, Sliphorn Tommy sideslipped questioners, denying he struck the clarinetist. Claimed Dorsey:
 "rThare mae a little verhal arorI- ment. A couple of music stands got upset Why, I'm musician. I couldn't punch my way out of a paper bag"
 Goodman gave this version:
 T was just sitting there playing my clarinet when Tommy walked up and started swinging. I'm mystified about the whole thing"
 He denied calling Dorsey any names.

WASHINGTON Former Ne braska Governor Dwight Griswold didn't have long to wait to learn he has a man-sized job on his hands coping with the ultra-re- cctionary Greek government in ad- ininistering the Truman doctrine.
 It's still an official secret, but several days after Griswold arrived in Athens, the Greek government tlandly informed him that the country's food reserves were com pletely exhausted.
 Such a crisis obviously, could be due only to two causes: Gross incompetence and carelessness, ol deliberate pressure tactics. Con- fidential diplomatic dispatches in- dicate there are ample reasons to believe both factors were at the bottom of the affair. After a hurried check-up, Griswold estab- lished that the Greek government was not lying. There literally was no food in it's larder.
 The situation was omnibus The U. s. was now officially ir Greece. If food riots broke out the reverberations could be catas- trophic not only in Greece but throughout all of Europe.
 The Communists would be able to scream their favorite refrain about the folly of trusting democ- racies.'
 Griswold acted fast and declse- ly. And, for once, so did the State Department.
 Upon his telephonic demand foi an immediate emergency food ship ment, State officials rushed to the War Department which, in turn diverted two shiploads of flour en- route to Germany. The ships, on the high seas with 10000 tons of flour. were wirelessed to change their course and rush to Greece.
 Thanks to this fortuitous i'm DTOVlSdtlOll, Illc Oili1iiOoo SAtSND ''oN averted. But insiders aware o1 the character of the Greek gov ernment fear it won't be long be- fore other and perhaps worse hot potatoes" pop up.
 Note: Griswold's staff is heav- fly Nebraskan. His deputy, Roy Cochran, is another former Gov ernor, and other assistants are pr William Snyder, ex-state yeterln- arian, Kenneth Kellar, crack poll tical reporter. and Arthur Dopson successful Lincoln contractor.

Greek Cabinet Falls; Border
 War 0neCause
United Nations Veto -Balk- ed on Balkans = Ru-
 mania Ratifies Treaty
tBy The Associated Press)


 The government fell in Greece today, four days after the United Nations Security Council, talked by Russian vetoes, admitted it's inability to resolve the Balkan problem.
 The immediate cause for the resignation of Demetrios MaXimos' cabinet was three leading minis ters' insistence on a reshuffling of the government in order to strengthen confidence externally and increase creative output inter- nally" Behind the immediate sit uation, however, were other factors:
 l. On imitation ridden economy which the United States, with part of its $300,00O,000 Greek-aid pro- gram, is pledged to improve.
 2. Guerrilla warfare against the Athens government, which it has attributed largely to it's neigh bors, Yugoslavia, Albania and Bull garia. A United Nations investi- gating commission found those three countries responsible, in vary ing degrees. for troubles on Greece's northern border.
 LIN Efforts Thwartcd
 Efforts to condemn these as- serted Act of Proyocation" and to set up border watch were thwarted in the U. N Security Council.
 Tuesday, at tne end of the Councils 60th meeting on the Bal kan question, President Paris Bey Fl Khoury, of Syria, declared the U. N. body could do nothing that it must refer the question to the General Assembly, meeting next month.
 In another aftermath to World War II, Rumania ratified her peace treaty today but it will not be effective until Russia also ratifies. Britain and the United States sealed the treaty several weeks ago.
 In reighboring Bulgaria, Russia refused yesterday to intercede in plans to hang Nikola Petkov, op- position leader convicted as con- spirator against the Fatherland Front headed by Communist Georgi Dimitrov. The United States and Britain had condemned Petkov's arrest and trial. and ask ed Russian approval to tring the matter before the Allied Control Commission. This Russia refused to do contending it was an in- ternal matter for the Bulgarian government.
 Hungary Plans Election
 Hungary, outside the Balkans but in the Soviet orbit of influence went ahead with plans for an election August 3l Her minister of information termed unfounded the United States charges that the Communist dominated government was net acting to secure election privileges to other opposion part ies. A Moscow newspaper said the United States and Britain were trying to apply economic pressure on Hungary before the election.
 Tn Paris. preliminary conferences were continuing on methods of inn plementing the Marshall Plan for possible U. s. aid to European countries in return for fresh ef- forts by those countries to solve their troubles. A customs union was one of the proposals suggested by France. Countries under Rus sian influence have refused to participate in the Marshall Plar talks.
