Lake Cutoff Is
Backed By C Of c
AT Board Meetinq

A wide variety of subjects rel
alive to the commercial and civic
interests of Pascagoula and Moss
Point were discussed at the reg
ular board meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce Tuesday night.
The proposed Robinson's Lake
cutoff was again considered by
the board. 1t vas pointed out
that the need for the shorter
channel was based not only on
possible benefit to industries but
also or the protection of marine
property along the city water
front. The possibility of the Port
Commission making the neces-
sary survey in the hope of being
reimbursed later by United Stat
es Engineers was suggested by
the president. Director Joe Brum-
field stated that it was the duty
OF the chamber to help provide
economical operations for all ex-
istlng industries. II was moved by
Director Saul PeterZell and sec
onded by Mayor j. r. Watts that
the president, secretary and
chairman of the Industrial COM
mittee united to push this pro-
ject with the u. S. Engineers,
The board authorized the sec
rotary to secure necessary help
to beautify the yard of the old
Central School where the c. of
c. office is now located.
A report of the activities of the
Inter-City Council was made by
President Edward A Khayat who
said that the cleanup campaign
was the necessary forerunner of
a program of civic identification.
Before landscaping and other inn
provements could be effectively
promoted, he said, cleaning up
of the trash and debris which al
ready exists would be necessary.
Ed Virgins, member of the
board, submitted an idea for a
four-page stationary y t,
showing the advantage of the To-
cal community, which could be
imprinted by the various business
houses.
The proposed visit of the Hat
tiesburg delegation regarding the
Leaf river channel was discuss
ed and it was decided to invite
the Hattiesburg group to come to
Pascagoula at their convenience.

Atomic Ships Still Unsafe

SHIN GTON, C4'J - Ten months after the Bikini atom bomb tests, the target ships still are unsafe for permanent Occu- pancy.'
 The navy so reported today in announcing that most of the big vessels which survived the twin blasts last year will be lowed without crews to Hawaii and the West Coast this summer for study.
 Officials emphasized, however, that the heavy radioactive con- tamination will not endanger the pOpulations of either Pearl liar bor/ San Francisco, or Bremerton, Wash. where the studies will be carried on.
 They are part of the navy'S in tensive research program which already has resulted in drastic changes in ship design theories.
 A battleship, a cruiser, two sub marines and two transports al ready have made the long voyage from KWajalein in the central Pa cific, where the target ships have been anchored since last fall.
 The announcement said the de- contamination study is one of the navy's most important projects in preparing against atomic warfare.
 The heavy cruiser Salt Lake City and the destroyer Hughes will go to Bremerton. The heavy cruiser Pensacola recently ar rived at the naval shipyard there.

General Strike Ends In Spain

BILBAO, Spain, (P)-General- ;ssimo Francisco Francois govern ment appeared today to have crushed a general strike which virtually immobilized the vital steel industry in this area for eight days-the strongest demonstration by Spanish industrial workers since the civil war.
 Most workers returned to their jyOe yesterday, penaliz9i by loss of seniority and wage reductions.
 (nforrnants calculated that 3O,- GOO of an estimated 45,OO0 worK- CTS in steel, heavy machinery, shipbuilding, mines and construc- ton workers stayed away from their jobs Monday and Tuesday.
 The Bilbao workers first left their jobs on May Day for one day demonstration in observance of the traditional European labor day. The government retaliated with an order firing those wno demonstrated and requiring them to apply to civil governor Kanaro Riestra for reinstatement within eight days, with loss of seniority rights.
 In protest against this order the workers struck in force last Mon day.

Brazil Outlaws Communists

RIO DE JANEIRO, (P) - The Brazilian government cracked down hard on the Communist party today, with federal police and troops padlocking 445 Com muniSt clubs or cells to enforce a decision by the supreme electoral tribunal outlaWing the party in Brazil.
 The tribunal approved, by 3 to ? vote Wednesday night, a gov ernment petition asking that the Brazilian Communist party-one of the largest in the western hemi- sphere-be declared illegal and closed. In the last election, in Jan uary, the party boiled about 800,- 900 votes.
 It elected IT deputies and one senator in the federal congress, Is members of this capitals 50-mem- Der city council, 60 members of various state legislatures and helped to elect the governors of eight Brazilian states.
 Even as the tribunals judgrent was being announced the Com munists suffered another stiff blow. President Eurico Gaspar Dutra suspended the Communist supported Brazil workers confed- eration and all labor unions affil- lated with it for a period of six months.
 Communist leaders referred sar- castically to the decision as "the first step for Dutra's continuation in power like former president Getulio) Vargas"

Russia Celebrates Victory Day
(BY Eddy Gilrore)

MOSCOW, (P)-The 193,000,000 people of the Soviet Union cele- brated Victory Day today in thousands of procession5, demon Strations and sporting events marked by speeches, orders of the day and editorials which bore a distinct international flavor.
 Two years after victory" said the New Times in a leading edi- torial, the mouthpieces of inter national reaction are raging once more. The mongers of a new war, as Henry Wallace put it, keep the kettle of hostility toward the SOv- jet Union at the boiling point.
 "The imperialistic circles of the Anglo-SaXon countries are build ing bigger plans for their expan- sion, plans of economic and politi- cal enslavement of foreign peo- ples."
 NikOlai Bulganln, minister Of the armed forces declared in an order of the day that Soviet armed forces had won the war and saved the peoples of Europe-"among which are the German people, from Fascist oppression.
 The army newspaper Red Star declared the Soviet army by itself not only could have occupied all Germany without the aid of the western allies but liberated France as we'll.
 (The German surrender actually was signed on May ', l945, al Reims, France, but official an nouncement of V-E-victory in Europe-Day was delayed until May 8, and Russia choose to ob- serve it May 9,
