RUSSIA HIT HARD;PANI(
 IN BUYING
Impending Change in Cur. reney-Devaludtion
 of Soviet RubIe

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-lR- Reports of panic buying and inn pending currency changes in So- viet Russia have reached Wash ington and been given sufficient official credence to be broadcast around the world by the govern ment's Voice of America radio.
 The State Departments broadcast in g languages last night said the wave of buying had been touch ed off by widespread rumors of prospective price increases and de- valuation of the Russian ruble.
 The rush to trade paper money for durable goods at stores in Mos COW and other cities, the broadcast said, is reported to have swelled to such proportions that some estab- lishments in the Soviet capital have been forced to close.
 Reports to authorities here SUD- plementing the one on which the broadcast was based, also hinted at further trouble for the tight ly managed Soviet economy.
 Heavy runs to withdraw savings from hanks, these reports related, have resulted in an order to limit withdrawals to 200 rublei daily.

Tells House Russia Wag- ing Everything But
 Shooting War"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-lR- Asserting that Russia 'is waging everything but a shooting war against us,' Representative Cox CD-Ga) told the House today it must approve foreign aid "as an investment in national security '
 The Georgian gained the floor soon after the House began debate on the s59o00o,O0o emergency mea- sure for Austria, France, Italy and China-a measure the admins tration contends is needed to check the spread of Communism.
 On the opposition side, Rep. Leo Allen tR-IlD raised a question whether a Europe strengthened with American help might not go Communist in any event with the result that all we give in the way of aid may eventually be used against us in one way or another
 While the House debate went on, the Senate Appropriations Com mittee was exploring that same question asked by Allen
 The Senate group had Undersec- retary of State Robert A. Loyett before it. He assured the mem bers that emergency help for France. Italy and Austria can be cut off if Communists seize con- trol of those governments.

ALASKA CANNERY WORKERS TO AGAIN OPERATE SCHOOL

SHIP BILL READY FOR
 CONGRESS
Legislation Would Permit Canadian Ships to Car
 ry U. 5. Freight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 - P- Legislation intended to improve passenger and freight transporta- tion to Alaska was ready today for introduction in the Senate.
 Senator Butler tR-NebD chair man of the Senate Public Lands Committee. said the measure would permit Canadian vessels to carry passengers between Alaskan ports, by amending the Jones law, which now prohibits this. That law pro- hibits any vessel of foreign registry from taking passengers from one American port to another
 Butler said his bill also would remove what he described as dis against Alaskans now in the law He said this permits merchandise to be shipped from an point of origin to for eign port and be carried by foreign vessels to another American point for delivery, except that foreign vessels are forbidden to give such service to Alaska.
 Under his amendment, the Sem ator said. foreign vessels will be able to pickup freig ht at Canadian ports and deliver it to Alaskan ports
 Alaskans have urged such amend ments, saving it will increase tourist travel to the Territory and provide another route for getting in freight. They have contended the present service by three Seattle companies is too costly and is frequently in- terrupted by labor difficulties.
 Under the Butler proposals a Canadian ship could pick up ner- chandise shipped from the United States via rail to Prince Rupert, and deliver it to Alaska.

PLANE CRASH
 OF pAA.5HIp
 IS MYSTERY
Hearing by CAB at Seattle Reeesses- Searching
 Inquiry Is Held

SEATTLE, Dec. 4.-tH-Why a four -motored transport airplane ploughed blindly into Tamgas Mountain on Annette Island near Ketchikan October 26, carrying IS persons to death remains mys- tery as the Civil Aeronautics Board recessed it's inquiry into the trag- edy.
 R. w Chrisp of Washington, D. C., who presided, announced the hearing will be reconvened when conditions permit an examination of the wreckage on the mountain. This is expected to be sometime in August, after snows have melted.
 The Board made a searching in- quiry, probing into the condition of the plane, the safety aids at the Annette Island field, and the weather warnings. But its own safety chief, Fred G. Powell of An chorage, member of the Board, tes- tified that an examination of the planes records showed it was in airworthy condition when it left Seattle; testimony that radio beam at Annette Island had tenn porarily been off a degree or two a couple of days before the crash, was discounted by airmen as in- sufficient to make any difference. and the testimony indicated the forecast at departure time in Se- attle showed light turbulence, was expected throughout the route.
 rorecast Sent Out
 There was testimony that an amended forecast regarding the turbulence was sent out when the plane was about two hours out of Seattle, and though there was no acknowledgement, it was presumed that the plane had received it.
 The testimony showed that Capt. Ali N. Monsen, veteran Alaskan pilot who was in charge Of the plane arrived over Annette Island field at 1000 feet and with 1920 gallons of gasoline still in his tanks, and that later the fields traffic controller radioed him: T have you in sight over the field. You are parallel to the runway at HOO feet. You have 3 degrees |crosswind with gusts up to 50.' Extreme Turbulence"
 The log of Charles F. Stack, CAA Aircraft Communicator who was the last person to talk with the plane, showed that the pilot radioed that he was proceeding to Juneau because of extreme tur- bulence."
 Three minutes later, when the field again attempted to contact the plane by radio, there was only silence. The plane with it's crew of five and its thirteen passengers, including a Eaby had smashed into the 3.596-foot mountain.
 Captain Monsen's son, Wesley, himself copilot for Pan Ameri- can World Airways, for which his father was flying at the time of his death, sat listening to the tes- timony.
 Ralph w. Hester, U. s. weather bureau staff forecaster, testified that on that day conditions were favorable for icing at over $500 feet, north of Vancouver Island. But there was testimony that the planes de-icing equipment was Tn order, and Monsen had mentioned no troublet

The W dshington Merry Co., Round
by DrGW PEARSON

WASHINGTON One of the most tragic blunders of the war was the shooting down of 300 American paratroopers by Allied gunners over Sicily. After losing B U. S. transport planes loaded with 400 paratroopers on July 13, 1943, we lost 21 planes loaded with almost 400 men on July 14-- chief ly shot down by Allied gunners.
 Although this column published some of the facts at the, time, part of the story of this tragic loss was hushed up by wartime cen Sarship.
 Last week, however, Stuart Sym ington, Secretary for Air, pro- claimed that he wanted no brass hats protected when it came to chenanigans inside the Air Corps
 Actually, if all the truth came out regarding certain Ar Corps operations, it would hit very neal to some of Symington's own close Air Corps friends. Nevertheless with the Army trying to get com pulsory military training adopted for the first time in peacetime his tory, it is important that mili- tarv blunders- graft-be care fully scrutinized. And one danger of military conscription is that peacetime militarism prevents theil discussion even during peace.

End Of WAA in t948
Despite Sales Lag
Nv III. A,.ee;o,sd Pres,

/ Administrator Robert M, Little
john expressed confidence today
that the War Assets Administration
will be ready to go out of business
at the end Of 1s4s despite a lag in
Icurrent sales.
Last October Mr.. Littlejohn laid
down a master plan" for disposing
of rs per cent OF consumer and
capital goods property by February
/. wAA's October inventory then
showed goods costing originally
$500, 100000.
Mr.. Littlejohn told reporters he
now estimates sales in the period
will total only 80 to so per cent OF
the inventory.
The original plan also called for
100 per cent of the material to be
offered for sale by February l, but
the administrator estimated that
only about 80 per cent will actually
be put on the market by that time.
Payroll Being Reduced.
Mr.. Littlejohn disclosed that a
progressive reduction in the WAA
payroll is under way which tenta-
lively calls for cutting the agency's
force of $1,000 to $4,000 by next
July and to $4,000 by the end of
1913.
At that time, Mr.. Littlejohn said,
his job will be done and remaining
WAA functions, including the ad-
ministration of considerable real
estate holdings, should be turned
over to lone of the old-line depart
ments."
Mr.. Lttlejohn said he agreed "in
general with findings in a critical
report on the sales program which
the House Surplus Property Com
mittee made public yesterday.
The committee declared WAA had
used sloppy business methods" and
that some of it's regional offices had
shown 'favoritism, If not downright
corruption" in dealing with buyers.
UNRRA Priority Opposed.
1t recommended that Congress act
to insure that such international
organization as the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admins
tration not have priority over Amer
ica1 business in the purchase of
surpluses. and urged a continuing
investigation by successor commit
| tee.
Mr.. Littlejohn said he had kept in
close touch with the committees
investigation and already has taken
such action as I deemed pertinent"
to meet most Of It's criticisms. The
House group noted in its report
there had been improvement in con-
ditions since Mr.. Littlejohn took Of
fee last July %.
IF there was anything right"
about WAA then, Mr.. Littlejohn
said, II couldn't find It,"
New Sales Drive Planned.
Starting February / Mr.. Littlejohn
plans a new sales drive with two
objectives:
/. To have the Civil Aeronautics
Commission free all surplus airports
for disposal by April 80
2. To offer all building machinery,
supplies and installations for sale by
the same date.
