CANADIAN G!llNEI BOAT IN COLLISION,
 NORTHERN V0yAGER

KETCHIKAN-The small Cana dian gillnct toat Linda collided with the Alaska bound freighter Northern Voyager of the Alaska Transportation Company near Alert Bay, B. C., at about o'clock last Sunday morning according to a re- pert made here by Harry Clark, master of the freighter.
 The Linda was without naviga- tion lights at the time she ran into the steamer, according to Clark's report A small cruiser took two men off of the fishing vessel and went to Alert Bay with them.
 The cralt did not sink but was later lowed into Alert Bay It was reported from Alert Bay that one man was missing from the fishing vessel. although apparently this was not reported to the cruiser until after she arrived at Alert Bay with the two rescued men, as she made no attempt to search for a third man.
 A report cf the accident was fil- ed with the Steamboat Inspection Office and it is expected that there will De a hearing on it when the steamer returns to Seattle.

THE LAW RESTATED

Reversing the earlier ruling of it's general counsel Robert N Denham, the National Labor Relations Board has decided by vote of fcur to one that top ranking officials of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations do not have to sign affidavits dsavowing Communism in order to qualify constituent unions for the benefits of NLRB facilities.
 This IS important only because it made an issue by few of the national officers of the two major labor groups For that reason, the reversal of Mir Denhams original ruling is being hailed as a great victory for labor. If organized labor leaders want to regard as a great victory there is no reason to quarrel with them But neither should the real meaning of the decision be distorted
 The Labor Board, in taking this step, merely has sought to give practical effect to the real intent of Congress The object of this clause Of the Taft Hartley Act was to eliminate Communists from places of authority and responsibility in American labor unions That object will be served best the afidavts are required of those officers actually heading the unions of the country Little was to be gained by insstence the prior filing of afidavts by all officers of the national labor considerations
 Senator TaIt who certainly is in good position to say what the intent of Congress really in this instance has made it clear that the Labor Boards ruling IS not in any way odds with the purpose of the aetsas he understands it.
 Workers, employers and the American public as whole have in common genuine desire to strengthen the labor movement by eliminating Communists from key positions The new ruling on Communist af fdavts appears certain to serve this end Conse quently it is not victory for any group fraction when considered in perspective It simply IS a step toward the common goal of restoring democratic con- trol of those few labor unions into which Communists had infitrated.

Aid-For Whom?

Cincinnati Enquirer

Forgetting for the moment the great humanitarian implication involved it to us that assistance for Europe demands immediate attention from both political and economic approaches
 Most of admit frankly that Russia has her eyes on the west She hopes to spread theories of Communism to many other nations, particularly those which hem her western boundaries Her best ally in such program is unrest. Unrest, more than any thing else undermine European faith in the demo- cratic principles under which many of those nations have been living. In the ground of dissatisfaction, seeds of new political theories grow swiftly and strong
 Unless the United States the lone bulwark against economic aggression from Russia can strengthen the present establishments of such tries France, Britain, Greece and Holland, can expect Communism to gather strength in those lands. It is well and good for to say: Let them stew in their juice" But the fact is that if Europe stews we must suffer with her.
 This is true in the economic well in the political We cannot close eyes to our de- pendency foreign exports to maintain standards Of production and living If Europe leans toward sia, Russia will have the edge in supplying those lands with the materials they need That means less demand for American goods for exports; fewer jobs for American workmen

 Mai. Kenneth G. Smith, s. of Boise, Idaho who downed six German planes in World War Two, was killed when his Thunderbolt crashed in a stream bed, exploded and burned.
 Eyevitnesses said Smith stay ed at the controls until the fighter was clear of any buildings. He was out on a wing, ready but too late to parachute, when the craft hit.
 He was a squadron commander at Dow Field Bangor. Officials said his ship went into flat spin at 10000 to l2,O0o feet from unde- termined cause.

 The bars that Soviet Russia has erected around it's country have been used to keep out Assistant Secretary of State and senatorial travellers There should be only reply from the State Department. And that was contained in the last report issued early this year by the special House Committee on postwar planning headed by Representative Colmer. The Committee insisted on policy of the strictest reciprocity" Evidence in support of such policy has accumulated at rapid clip since the testimony collected by the Comer Committee called for it. This is what the committee after giving instance after instance Of secrecy and discrimination, said
 II is therefore the opinion of the com mittee that the strictest reciprocity should be applied to Russia in limiting entry into the United States of Russian diplomats and gov ernment agents to the number of our own representatives in Russia Exclusion of Rus sians from Japan and our other occupied areas should parallel closing of their zones to our entry At the present time, the committee is given to understand that there are over 1900 Russian representatives in the United States as entrusted with less than 200 American rep resentatives in the U. S S. R. Extension of the same principles should be made to Rus sian-controlled zones to the adequate protection of representatives there. Tech nicans should be similarly treated, though it would certainly be advantageous to get as wide possible exchange of students, bona fide journalists and pure scientists. It is we-knoWn fact that employees of American legations in these genes, as well as in Russia proper, have been subjected to arrest and ln- prisonment, and that in some instances the legations are, in fact. almost completely lso- lated from adequate contacts with the people to whom they represent the United States This is certainly the in Albania. The continued indignties put upon our represen- tatves in the Russian-controlled zones of east eastern Europe call for the strongest counter measures to show that We do not intend nation to permit entirely one-sided dis regard of the diplomatic comity that should be observed by the free nations
 If the "strictest reciprocity" was thought to be necessary then surely there can be question about t now
