In reply to news conference ques-
tions, the Army Chief of Staff said
he still believes the possibility OF
another war in the immediate future
is remote.
There is no country in the world

mote global war. No one is In

In Aid 10 Romania
by the A,seeioisd Press

State Department officials re-
newed talk yesterday OF cutting Oh
aid shipments to Romania If any
food at all goes to the Soviet Union
despite Romantics denial that 1t has
sent any wheat to Russia.
The Bucharest government, re-
ferring to "a communique published
in the United States press" denied
yesterday that 1t had delivered to
Russia 400 carloads of white flour,
allegedly originating from wheat
imported from The United States. "
1t said further that no American
grain had gone to the Soviet Union
and that no wheat had come to Ro-
mania from the United States, so
none could have been forwarded.
American officials agreed as to the
nature of American shipments to
Romania-they are all corn, with
$1,000 tons scheduled for movement
In the current four months-March
through June.
At the same time they pointed
out that they never had said 400
carloads of American wheat was
going from Romania to Russia.
The State Department did COM
ment last week on Russian demands
for 400 cars of flour for occupation
forces in Romania, saying it was re-
ported the Bucharest government
was about to meet the demand but
not indicating that the transaction
actually had taken place. Oficials
commented to reporters then that
the demand was in sharp contrast
to American relief measures in Ro-
mania.
Also at that time one official said
press reports that some food actually
is going from Romania to Russia
will be investigated and II found
true probably will result in stopping
aid shipments from here.

Tactics by Foes
6uce Chances for
kiireInenf Measure
By Joseph YOUNG

Delaying tactics threaten to kin
The chances OF passage this year Of
}the Ianger-Chavez bill to nberalize
the civil service retirement system.
with only two months Of this
years session of Congress remaining,
opponents Of the bill hope to pre-
vent its passage by stalling its con-
alteration on the Senate floor. They
appear to have gained the upper
hand in the fight, and chances for
the measure. which previously had
been regarded as fair, now appear
to be less than $3.50.
Senator LANCER, co-author of the
bill, left today for q two-week trip
In the Western States, and Senate
consideration of the bill viii be de-
layed ct least until his return. Sen
ator Langer's efforts to bring the
bill up for Senate consideration be-
fore his departure were rebuf1ed
by the Republican leadership.
Byrd Working Against Bill.
It was learned today that Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, who
for many years has been one Of the
leaders Of the economy bloc in Con-
gress. Is working quietly behind the
scenes with Republicans who oppose
the bill. Senator Byrd has not yet
announced publicly his opposition to
the bill, but the indications are he
will do so at the proper time. And
Senator Byrd's views carry consid-
erabIe weight in the Senate, even
among. his Republican colleagues.
senator Williams, Republ1can OF
delaware, q member OF the senate
Civil Service Committee, is leading
the Republican opposition to the
bill. Supporters of the measure in
sist its enactment won't cost the
Government any additional money
for number Of years, but the bills
opponents contend this is not the
case.
Rees Not Enthusiastic.
Over on the House side, it Is
known that Chairman Rees Of the
House Civil Service Committee,
which will handle the bill, is not
too enthusiastic over some of its
features. A subcommittee which
will hold hearings on the measure
has delayed a starting date for
several weeks, owing to Che full
Committees pre-occupation with
postal rate bills.
Senators Byrd and Williams are
demanding specific estimates and
detailed cost information from the
Civil Service Commission, the Bud
get Bureau and the Senate Civil
Service Committee staff regarding
the LANCER Chavez bill.
This Is expected to take some
time to compile and the indications
are that the bills opponents will
seek to delay its consideration until
this information is received.
Raises Annuity Payments.
Supporters of the measure insist
that the additional / per cent salary
deductions from the salaries of all
Government employees, plus the ad-
ministrative savings provided for in
the bill, will pay for the legisla-
ton.
The bill, which is regarded by
Government employees unions as
the most important piece of legis-
lation affecting Federal workers at
this session of Congress, would in
crease annuity payments to Gov-
ernment employees upon retirement,
boost annuity benefits to those
workers already retired and provide
insurance survivorship benefits to
widows and orphans.

By the A..oeiossd Press

The United States has made
available 10000, 900 in economic
aid to Mexico-half for immediate
industrial development and the re-
mainder to help maintain the pres
ent value of Mexican money over
the next four years.
Announcement OF help for the
neighboring republic yesterday fol-
lowed by just two weeks the visit
of Mexican President Miguel Ale
man to the United States
The industrial development credit
was granted through the Export
Import Bank. Mexico had applied
for bank loan of SITS, ,000, 900 and
submitted a list Of projects fol-
which the money would be used.
President William McChesney

as requested by Mexico.
The new monetary stabilizatior
agreement was signed yesterday BY
Secretary Of the Treasury Snyder
and Mexican Ambassador Antonio

Under the agreement, the Unitee

next four years after July l. The
new agreement enlarges and ex-
tends a previous agreement signet
In 1941.
The Mexican peso is currentl.
valued at about 206 United States
cents, or about 4.86 pesos to th'
United States dollar. That level ha!
been maintained since late 1910.
The purchase of Mexican peso

VOTE TOMORROW

Tomorrows election will be of the most important in the history of Juneau. Interest is intense large vote is expected for that reason
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson. who heads the Peoples Ticket, is up for reelection an honor which we believe he deserves Three good men are on the ticket with hm--Edward Nielsen, for election: Joe Thibodeau and ". Burr Johnson.
 Opposing this rcket IS the Progressive Ticket headed by Lee Lazetti. along with Eugene Lock ridge J. Raymond Hope and Earl Forsythe. Run ing as an Independent for Council is A. S Glover
 However we believe that the election of our city officials is secondary in importance to the proposition to purchase for s900,OOO the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company's Juneau prop rerty Mayor Hendrickson and his ticket are against this purchase but also pledged to carry the wishes of the people if they vote to buy the company.
 We hope that the people vote against the utilities proposal because we believe that if the people do to buy the electric utility, they will have tc pay fer it in the form of higher rates, and fer that reason see advantage.
 The public power group is misleading the people by issuing extravagant claims to the effect that the light company under city ownership would make more than SlO0.OOO year. The people should know there is basis for that statement On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that under city ownership and operation light rates would climb and every person in Juneau who electricity would suffer the consequences
 We have pointed cut in previous editorials that the average profits of the private company over the last 10 years would be figure of approximately s40,e00, and this is good average because profits have been extremely high during the last five years.

LOBBY LEARNS SECRECY

There was day when the oper- ations of the power lobby made headlines Now the boys have learned that if they work quietly behind the scenes they get much further.
 So without benefit of headlines the other day, the power lobby started it's all-out drive to keep the Federal Government out of the power business altogether.
 On the House side of the Capi- tol, members of the Reclamation Association demanded that the Fed eral Government stop spending money on reclamation and power projects in the west, while on the Senate side Senator Elmer Thomas the Oklahoma Democrat and cot ton speculator, submitted a bill which would take the Federal Gov ernment out of the power business entirely, except for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 Thomas would even have the Government sell all the power from it's 'present damS-including the huge Grand Coulee, Shasta and Bonneville Dams-to private pow CT companies at cost, with the pri- vate companies then permitted to sell power to the public after talk ing their cut
 In the past the cheap power provided by Federal power pro- jects has forced the private utility companies to lower rates. Actually, this has resulted in increasing their business. However, Senator Thom- as would now let the private com panies charge their own rates (sub- lect to nominal regulation by the Federal Power Commission and turn over to them the cheap power produced by the Government.

with especial vigor However. the payoff came when U. s. District Attorney Miles Pike in Reno brought a criminal action against Heple and his associates in the Tahoe Sky Harbor Cacino.' They were fined S7,500.
 Meanwhile, near Palo Alto, Calf Herbert Hoover's home town-the Tanforan boys continued to fix up their race track, grandstands. ca1e- toria, paddock and barn at a total reported cost of around S2,000, ,000- despite the repeated orders of the Federal Government. Their flout- ing of the Government appeared so willful that rumor got around that they had an in with some bcdy very high up.
 So far this rumor is unconfirmed. It remains fact, however, that while criminal action was brought by the U. s. District Attorney in ReEo' no criminal move was made by officials in San Francisco.
 Finally however, officials bestir- red themselves and started civil actlcn. Instead of punishing Tan toran for their willful violations, the Civilian Production Administra- ticn merely asked Judge Harris for an injunction to stop building op- erations. The injunction was grant ed.
 This was on Feb. IA. But even an injunction by Federal Court did not seem to faze the race track boys. For on March 2l, Judge liar rls cited Tanforan officials for con- tempt ol court for allegedly will fully violating his restraining or der The hearing on this violation takes place today.

 Asked whether it was usual to let an offender off with civil action rather than criminal punishment, CPA officials again passed the buck to Washington.

APPEALING TO WASHINGTON

So they appealed the Govern ment's order, and again were turn ed down. Then they appealed a sec ond time, going into Federal Court to ask that the Governments or der be set aside In October U. S Judge AdolphuS St Sure said No Tanforan was permitted to use it's own salvage materials but nothing more.
 But the Tanforan race tracketeers were avaricious, also tenacious. In December they filed a new appeal in San Francisco and also went over local officials heads to Wash ington. And though Washington turned them down, they quietly went ahead with their building plans, spending an alleged total of s300000 on new materials during the period they were under orders not to spend anything
 For some strange reason, how ever, the Government did nothing about this-not until very recently.
 At Reno, Nevada, however, offi- cials were more fortnight On June p, this column reported that lumber rom the Tanforan Race Track went to build a gambling bousp at Lake Tahoe Nev ou,,,ed ill part by E. w Heple, Tanforan's contractor The Tanforau people claimed all this lumber went to veterans" the Merry Co., Round stated, but this is not true.
