WAFER LEVEL OF GOLD GREEK RISES
 TO DANCER POINT

Danger of serious damage to Gold Creek was increasing by the hour today, as heavy rains and melting snows raised the water level in the lower portions more than halfway up the concrete re- vetments.
 Early this afternoon there had been no serious damage to the wells, which had been undergo ing emergency repairs. But it is feared that high water for any long period may eat behind and under the concrete retaining walls and sand bags are being prepared in readiness for any serious cave in.
 Work had been started by the City on the side opposite the Government Hospital, but Con- tractor Bill Manthey, scheduled to begin repairs on the Hospital side, had not yet commenced work.

Forfify Alaska, Maintain
 All Needed Facilities, Is
 Urge Made by Okla. Demo.
Rv CHARLES HASLET

WASHING CT, March l4.-tRl- The United States should fortify Alaska and maintain highway. air port and communication facilities there "so we can remain. strong in that area" Rep Glen D. Johnson tD-Oklal said today.
 The Oklahoman told a reporter:
 Alaska commands a strategic position should we become involved at any time in the future with European nation. It also is in a strategic position in connection with our mandated islands in the Pacific.
 As long as we have a tense situ- ation in China, Korea and with present unsettled conditions in Europe, we should keep Alaska i'm pregnable."
 Congress should provide any ap- propriations necessary to keep open radio, telegraph and other com- munication facilities with Alaska and to maintain any airport facili- ties needed there by the military he continued
 In addition, he said, the United States and Canada should keep open the Alcan highway between Washington State and Alaska as "a vital lifeline"
 Johnson said some suggestions had been made that some displaced persons and refugees should be set tied in Alaska.
 Expressing his opposition, John son has introduced legislation pro- viding for homesteading of part of Alaska by world war veterans.

RUSSIANS REACT TO
 PROPOSAL
Soviet Newspaper Accuses United States of lnIer-
 ence in East
By EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, March 14.-LREThe Soviet government newspaper Iz- vestia accused the United States today of interfering in the internal affairs of Greece and Turkey and of behaving in manner that could rot have been expected from a member of the United Nations.
 It was the first real Russian edi- torial reaction to President Tru- mans speech to Congress Wednes- day urging U. s. aid for Greece and Turkey.
 Tn Washington said the edi- torial, which was eagerly read by foreign delegates to the Big Four Foreign Ministers Conference, they obviously do not want to consider the obligations adopted by the United States government before the United Nations organization.
 Expressing unusual nervousness, President Truman did not even deem it necessary to wait for the results of the work of the Security Councils mission sent to Greece to determine the situation there"
 One end of Moscow to the othef this editorial, which in size alone was one of the longest to appear in many months-it stretched from the masthead to the bottom of the front page throughout two columns; was read with avid interest by all who could get copy and read Russian or prevail upon the already burdened translators to read it to them.

 USEFULNESS
 |S NULLIFIED
CoIorfuI Ketlhikan Law maker Plans Action as
 Private Citizen

Senator Norman R. CDoc) Walk CT, of Ketchikan, this morning an- nounced his resignation from the Alaska Senate.
 The announcement was made simply, without accompanying re- marks, as Walker presented for the Secretary to read to the mem bers of the Senate copy of the letter of resignation Walker has submitted to the Governor.
 That letter, verbatim, reads:
 March II, 1947. Hon. Ernest Gruening
 Governor of Alaska
 Juneau. Alaska
 Dear Governor:
 I herewith tender my resignation from the Senate, to be effective after consideration of the Tax Re- venue bills introduced by SenatoA Rivers and myself.
 I assure you that this is no nasty act on my part You will recall that last spring I offered to resign in the event Dr. Dawes was not elected, in the belief that the First Division should be equally repre- sented in the Senate.
 It further appears that I am at variance with my colleagues in the Senate, on what I consider a vital issue. Formerly, our differences have been settled in a friendly and amicable manner. Also, my col leagues from the First Division differ from me on legislation which I consider vitally affects the First Division. The only member of the House of Representatives from my home town appears to believe that have not the ability to hold high office in the Territory All of this means my usefulness in the Legis- lature is largely nullified.
 As a private citizen I intend to use whatever influence I may pos sess to have removed from office those whom I believe do not fully understand the needs of the Terri tory.
 on my request to be relieved of further duties as a member of the Legislature
 Very truly yours,
 NORMAN R. WALKER. Member of the Alaska Legislature
 Senator o. D. Cochran voiced the only comment by any of Walkers fellow Senators. He expressed a nope that Senator Walker will see fit to reconsider his resignation, as the Territory can ill afford to lose him."
 Cochran expressed deep regret of the decision made by the Ketchi- kan Senator His twelve years of service in the Legislature with Walker, Cochran said, have i'm pelled him to hold the Senator from the First Division in the very highest esteem" He pointed out to Walker that, though he may differ with high officers" in the Terri- tory's government, he, as a Senator elected by the people, is wholly independent" of those high offices.
 Cochran attributed Walkers diff ferences with other officials and legislators to the independence of mind" of the Ketchikan Senator

ping. Brown hair and brown
eyes,"
And Rusty had red hair. Red hair
and blue eyes. And here all the time
he'd thought.
To top it all off, the floor manager
had just made the rounds an
nouncing they would remain open
until 9 o'clock. Nine o'clock on the
night before Christmas to accom-
modate last minute shoppers. 1t was
too much. Nine o'clock and he'd
made date the week before with
Annabelle. They were going to take
in an early show and wind up the
evening dancing at the Aragon. But
If she were more interested in brown
hair and brown eyes, if she'd sold
out to hosiery - well, he didn't care
If the store stayed open until mid
night. Serve her right She'd have
to work, too.
mo, lady, these are all the ties
we have. No, we haven't got any
special numbers tucked away any,
where I assure you" Rusty felt like
yelling that if the woman couldn't
find a single tie she liked out of
the some 500 laid out in front of her
she was we'll, he didn't know
what she was but he was fed up.
Life had suddenly become meaning
less. And time dragged on.
He wondered how Annabelle
would act. But he didn't have time
to think about that because Anna
belle was suddenly standing right In
front of him, smiling.
II took break. Wasn't It mean
of that old manager to make us stay
open when we had a date?"
Rusty kept his eyes down on the
showcase. "Mmm HIM." he num-
bled. She was talking like there was
nothing at all wrong. Just as if she'd
never even thought of another man
in the world.
"Well, I've got to dash back. See
you at nine"
"Mmm HIM."
Women. They were all alike. He
looked up sullenly at the retreating
figure of the slim brunette. His eyes
wandered up past her trim waist to
her hair. Why Rusty's eyes
bulged out. The polka dot tel

slipped tie into a gift box for q
fellow standing at the counter.
''That tie will wear you for years.
I know you're going to like it. And

any more, or perhaps as much,
from court order. She might
marry again, but no girl can be
sure of that.
eff I advise her to hold her
ground, and not to give Arthur his
freedom, where do I stand? Arthur
easily could make it impossible for
me, or Gwendolyn either, to remain
in this house. There is a small cot
tage in the rear where I could live
if he and Dorothy take over and
change the house as they plan. At
my age, have to think of myself,
too.
whenever Gwendolyn and I talk
things over, she cries and says,
Don't send me and my baby away.
I don't know where we could go, or
what we would do Then Arthur
tells me Mother, fix things up for
me in hurry. Gwendolyn and
were never really rightful mates.
Let's save what we can from the
wreckage.' Miss Norris, what can
do in this sad situation?"
My advice, Catherine, is not 60
ing to be particularly palatable to
any of you. There is no easy way out
of this muddle, Gwendolyn's rights
must be considered, too, as well as
your sons desires and your wishes
for security. Arthur married too
young, too carelessly, in an emo
tional haze. So did Gwendolyn.
Marriage is Serious.
Now that Arthur has matured a
bit, and has had a lot of hard ex-
periences in war, he thinks he is
ready for more exciting wife. He
is like thousands of other young men
who want a complete re-deal on
their return home. He has lived in
a strange world where all normal
values have been distorted or
sneered at. He comes back disillu-
stoned and cynical, tired and rest
less. 1t is not Gwendolyn that he
has outgrown It would be the same
with any other girl. He just wants
something different.
advise Arthur and Gwendolyn to
stick together for another year or
maybe two. That is, not very long,
after all. Let him take his place in
his community, standing by his wife
and child, as an honorable husband
and father. During this time it is
likely that Arthur would again fall
in love with his wife, and that the
charms of their daughter, with the
quiet pleasure of home life, would
drive all thoughts of separation
from the young mans mind. 1t has
happened before. Arthur is just like
SO many other men, weak and SELF
ish, but basically sound.

Sewing Machine Care

A clean sewing machine may
solve problems such as noisy stitch
ing, imperfect stitches or other COM
mon trouble. If the machine is
busted frequently and oiled regular
ly, cleaning is not often necessary.
Good grade sewing machine oil is
important since poor grade de-
posts gummy substance on the
bearings and causes the machine to
run hard. Oil should be placed in
each oil hole and wherever two
pieces Of steel meet and there Is
motion.

TINE war scrambled many
marriages that might have
l. worked out all right in ordi-
nary times. This letter comes to
me from Oregon. Gwendolyn
thinks her situation is intoler-
able and insoluble. I can't see
that it is so difficult but, without
knowing more about the people
involved, I can give only a gen.
eral answer. 1t is hard to tell,
from her letter, just how ade-
quate Gwendolyn is as a wife, or
how strong Arthur's character is.
Gwendolyn was a telephone oper-
ator when she met Arthur. They
were both just 49, He was in the
tank corps, soon to 60 overseas.
Three weeks after they danced to-
gether they were married. They
spent happy month honeymooning
in seaside cottage lent them by
friend. Then Arthur had to depart
for active duty in Europe.
For five months Gwendolyn con-
tinued with her job; then being an
orphan with little money, she went
to live with Arthur's mother in a
town hundred miles away. A few
months later daughter was born.
Gwendolyn went back to work, and
Arthur's mother, Catherine, who
kept boarders, took care of the
baby.
II hadn't wanted Arthur to marry
at all at his age," writes Catherine.
Therefore I didn't exactly welcome
his wife, Gwendolyn, when she
came to me. In time, however, I
came to love her, and I am very
fond of her baby. Gwendolyn is a
weak, fearful little woman, entirely
dependent on me for moral support.
Everything was going along all
right until letter came from Ar
thur, who then was stationed in
England. He had met a WAC, fallen
in love with her, and forgotten all
about his wife in the United States.
In short, he wanted divorce from
Gwendolyn so he could marry Doro-
thy, the WAC. The shock made
Gwendolyn hysterical, and this con-
dition worsened into long illness.
when Arthur came home he
showed no interest in Gwendolyn or
the baby. He lived at hotel, never
spending a night here. During his
overseas period he had grown up
very much. He is now strong, firm
willed and different from when he
left. We hardly recognize him, he is
so changed. GWendolyn is continu-
ally in tears.
He Owns the House.
soon after he arrived he made it
plain that he intended to marry
Dorothy as soon as legal obstacles
were cleared up. He also said that
he wants to live in the house, which
he owns. Furthermore, he wants me
to influence Gwendolyn to give him
the divorce as soon as possible. In
return, he promises to pay her $50
a month for the support of their
baby daughter.
. "Arthur is ambitious, energetic,
handsome and more affectionate to
me than ever before. am a widow,
and he is my only child. He and
Dorothy intend to convert this big
old house into tourists hotel. Dor
othy has a little money, which she
would spend on the house.
II don't know what to advise
Gwendolyn to do. If l tell her it
would be best for her to divorce
Arthur, what would happen to her
and the baby? The settlement Ar
thur has offered is not enough to
keep her and her child. On the other
hand, she could not expect to get

Z Jump Out Of Moving Car
After Collision; Driver Held

Two Navy chief pharmacist IS
mates jumped out Of moving
automobile early today when it
went out of control after striking a
loading platform and another car
in the 4600 block of Wisconsin ave-
nue.. The sailors were injured
slightly, while the automobile con-
tinued on to knock down two fences
before stopping, police reported.
Alfred r. Mosher, stationed at
the Naval Medical Center, Bethesda,
listed as the driver, was charged by
police with failing to give full time
and attention to his driving. He
and his companion, Paul De Preaux
"a, were treated at the center, with
Mosher being admitted.
Police said the sailors were going
north when the automobile overran
loading platform from one end to
the other. The car struck another
northbound automobile, driven by
Myles X. Lazarus, 81, of Rockville,
Md, and both Navy men jumped out
of their moving vehicle, according
to police. Mr.. Lazarus was not
injured, police said, but the Mosher
car ran up on the west sidewalk
and knocked down a pipe rail, a
retaining wall and a corner post
before stopping.
