merely completes that MOscOwP aris- London triangle which, for all ntents and purposes, came into being af- Russia made her alliance with Great Britain and France. But it is questionable whether Ernest Bevins statement at Dunxirk that the two countries not trying to form bloc against the Soviet Union will be enough to rcassure the men in the Kremlin.
 The fact cannot be ignored that whatever it's stated purposes, the pact of Dunkirk does drawing together of Great Britain and France Because it that may lead to closer economic and political ties be- them. Those made all the necessary by the palpabe weakness of both countries their need of each other And given their geographic position, they the European and world situation deterorates to the point where such combination becomes necessary become the nucleus of that western bloc whose very name makes the Soviet leaders see red.

U. IN. Battles With Atomic Control
(By Francis w. Carpenter)

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. R)- Delegates to the United Nations atomic energy commission turned once more today to the difficult assignment of controlling the atom for peaceful purposes.
 They gathered at U. N. head quarters for their first meeting this year with the realization that their problem was more complicated than ever because of the strong differences between Russia and the United States on atomic con- trols.
 The United States, still standing by its guns wants an internation- al development authority with full powers over all phases of atomic energy and with no veto anywhere on punishments of atomic crimin- alS.
 Soviet Russia, which had little 10 say in the commission meetings late last year and which rejected the United States plan in a sting ing attack on the U. N. security council, wants a convention now to ban atomic weapons and an other convention to set up control organs. Russia also has insisted on retaining the veto right in the se- curity council.
 The consensus of the delegates was that the atomic probelm would be turned over to the com missions working commi tt ee, which is in effect the whole com mission sitting as a committee, and that attempts to reconcile the Russian-U. s. differences would begin in closed sessions.

.r'nes to creep in which would chain our minds and shackle our bodies as we'll? Distorting, mis- leading, boring from within, state socialism at home and abroad pre- sents to us the kind of curse that tyranny has always been to free man. Inroads have been made on some sectors of the American mind.
 Constructive Program
 Did you know that polls have shown that 5l per cent of our peo- pie do not know what a balanced budget is. That virtually a third have no conception of the meaning of free enterprise?" That many of us think it alright to owe huge national debt to ourselves? That security is something Congress can hand out? That imitation is accept able because it creates wealth? That there are ways to earn more by doing less?
 All these things are fallacies. With other fallacies they will en- slave, just as surely as any tyrant. We must make our platform free dom. Can there be a more con- Structive program than that of free men? Free men will have a dy-. manic, not static philosophy. Such philosophy can never permit economic tyranny, either of labor or capital, any more than it could permit a political tyranny. Ameri- cans everywhere must prepare the defense of their own minds against the inroads of enslaving ideas.

Inviting The Meat-Ax
(Rocky Mountain News)


 A PLAIN-SPOKEN STATEMENT on government economy from the large and long established Ma tona Federation of Federal Employees
 Administrators of government agencies who refuse to face "the stark realities of the situation it warns are simply inviting mea-ax curtailment at the hands of Congress"
 Rank-and-fe federal job holders such the NFFE represents would be the sufferers from that of slashng.
 Many high officials in the governments executive branch the statement points out believe that big spend ing and deficit financing essential for national pros perity. World War II multiplied the civilian payroll tremendously and further tended to obscure the idea of economical of federal unds And Congress for years was very liberal with appropriations, many of which were not earmarked and therefore often were available for purposes which Congress intended But last Novembers elections, which turned control of Congress to party pledged to drastic cuts in spendng should have made it apparent to all heads of executive agencies that they would have to cooperate the NFFE asserts For this accurate and honest appras al, we think the NFFE and it's officials President Luther Steward and Secretary Gertrude McNally-de- public vote of thanks

Mussolini's ambitions are dust. It was lot of trouble, but we paused to finish the job. We were strong enough to do it, and we are still strong.
 It is always a lot of trouble to have a mind toward our freedoms. With three-fourths of the world embracing doctrines which oppose our cherished freedoms, and with many of the nations of the world scorning our kind of Republic, we shall have to keep on taking trou- ble to defend our way of life. This is true, even when we know that our Republic is the best and most prosperous anywhere in the history of civilization.

ON BEING VIGILANT

That the price we pay for lib- erty is eternal vigilance may seem like old stuff to some of us. We are prone to relax after being wig liant for five years during a hard war. Like the next man, we pay more attention, to signs of opti- mism than to those danger signals that are likely to call us to wig ilance.
 AS modern-day Americans, we indicate by our actions and our in- terests that we are concerned about lot of things-but perhaps least concerned about playing Paul Revere roles. Let Samuel Adams and John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry and A. Lincoln and all the others stay in their history books. We won our our freedom in l776, and we've kept it since. So why take the trouble to worry about being wig liant in l947?

20 Men; Navy
 Plane Missing In Aleutian Islands

KODIAK, CP)- Wind-whipped waters along the Alaska peninsula and the adjacent Aleutians today were the center of a second days air and ship search for a missing navy PBY-5-A with 20 men on board.
 Seventeenth naval district head quarters said the Kodiak-based plane; with Is passengers and a crew of five, last reported by ra- dio at l0:45 am. Wednesday. It said it was l5O miles from its Dutch Harbor destination, with enough gasoline for six hours fly ing. It had started the 600-mile flight at 6:25 am.
 SearcherS held the hope that the plane might have made a safe landing in sheltered waters along the route, with its radio damaged.
 But the navy yesterday notified next Of Kin Of navy personnel that they were missing. Names were being withheld, it was reported, until all army personnel kin were notified.
 At the time of the planes last radio report, visibility was about a mile but it was bucking heavy head winds.
 Weather conditions in the area forced search plane from Kodi- ak to turn back once yesterday, but it later joined the hunt.
 The PBY had participated in several rescue missions itself. The last one was July when it picked up a critically ailing fisherman from a trawler at sea.

Alaska Must Have Big Plane Facilities

ANCHORAGE, (P)-Brig. Gen. Joseph H. Atkinson, commanding officer of the Alaska Air Com mand, said last night that Alaska must have facilities to serve 500 heavy bombers, 800 long-range cargo troop carrier planes and 1000 fighters.
 Explaining that he was express ing his personal, rather than off cial opinion, he added
 'These facilities should be avail able within three years"
 General Atkinson said the troop carriers he had in mind were ships that already exist, capable of carrying 400 troops fully eduiL- ped"

Administration Will Spend Entire S37,5OO,OOO,OO0

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman's entry into the battle of the budget bolstered evidence to- day that federal spending this fis- cal year-as the administration adds it up-Will be close to the or iginal White House estimate of S37 ,500,00O,OO.
 Taking an indirect poke at claims of big savings by the Re- publican Congress, MT. Truman announced he has ordered a de tailed and exhaustive study of federal outlays and income.
 When this is completed he will issue review and analysis of "all the facts" presumably in the GUS tomary mid-August budget re- view.
 Administration budget officials, immediately after Congress ad- jOurned, said that despite numer- ous cuts in appropriations the gov ernment probably will spend fair ly close to the amount estimated by MT. Truman in his budget mes sage last January. They spoke anonymously, to keep out of the political crosSfire.

Laundry Workers May Re-Strike In Anchorage

ANCHORAGE, R)-Three city laundries were faced yesterday with the prospect of new labor difficulties less than 24 hours after issuing a joint settlement with union officials announcing singing of a years agreement providing for pay increases and maintenance of a union shop.
 The new dispute was said by Mrs. Lucille Mooney, secretary treasurer of the laundry and dry cleaners union, local 333 tAFL) to have resulted because a major ity of union members have not been allowed back on their jobs. !"
 There was no comment from the laundry operators.
 The agreement, to be in effect until Aug. 6, 1948, granted increas- es ranging from 10 to 20 cents an hour. It provided that operators may hire anyone carrying a union work permit with the stipulation that such employees must join the union after a 30-day probationary period.

Europe Will Be Squeezed Until Congress Can Act

WASHINGTON (P) - All evil dence including Prime Minister Attlee's report to Commons indi- cated yesterday that western Flu rope faces a tight squeeze between now and the time the Marshall plan can become effective.
 It is equally evident that no new American financial aid will be forthcoming - barring economic disaster abroad - until Congress can pass early next year on the Marshall recovery program.
 Attlee's report Wednesday evil dently was we'll received here be- cause of the way in which it em- phasized Britain's intention to sur vive the next few months on her own dWindling resources with a minimum of help from the United States.
 This was regarded as dovetail- lIlS WllI1 lIle lIuIlldIl duiilliilSl u d- tion's promise to Congress that there will be no further foreign fi- nancing on a piece-meal basis and that the only workable solution is to try to promote European recov- cry as wohle.
 Officials here are sensitive to the fact that this country's initial postwar economic policy for Flu rope was based on bad calcula- tion:' that the multi-billion dollar credits authorized for the British, French and Italians last year would be sufficient to get all of Europe back on it's feet.
 Since events have not turned out that way the American govern ment has come forward with the Marshall program of continental approach.

T. B. Association Gets S2,OOO Grant
Friday. August 6. ls47

The Territorial Department of Health has received a grant of two thousand dollars from the Alaska Tuberculosis Association to be applied to the tuberculosis ed ucation consultant's annual bud get. Miss Lois Jund, tuberculosis education conSultant loaned to Alaska by the National Tubercu- loSiS Association, receives half her salary from the National as sociation and half from the Terri torial Department of Health. The sum of two thousand dollars is a generous and most worthwhile as siStance in carrying out the tuber- culosis control program through out Alaska.
 In addition to this donation the Alaska Tuberculosis association
 assisted in establishing the ortho- pedic hospital at Sitka, which treats nearly ninety per cent of tuberculosis of the bone - five hundred dollars was assigned tow ards alterations to make the hos pital facilities more useful as an orthopedic hospital, and five hun dred dollars was contributed tow ards the purchase of orthopedic equipment.
 The Alaska Tuberculosis asso- citation further donated two hun i dred dollars towards the cost of ! printing an illustrated booklet on the crippled children's program Doctor Albrecht stated that this continued evidence of a working cooperative program between the non-official and official agencies in the Territory of Alaska is an : indication of the spirit of every one that tuberculosis must be con- trolled. Everyone contributing to the Alaska seal sale drive should be proud to know that their dona- tons are used effectively and in a worthwhile manner.

Nome Turns Out For General 'Ike's' Short Visit
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) was with me overseas, my first meeting since 1918 with by good friend George GoshaW. It will be a day long to be remembered.
 II am reminded of a group of enlisted men I picked up one day while flying to the Azores. One of them wore a paratroopers uniform and was very nervous as the plane prepared to land. He said, Gen eral do you think l can go up b the front"
 What is the matter with you," I said, "you've been up before, what are you so nervous about?
 The boy responded, "Yes, sir, I've been up 19 times but this is the first time I've landed"
 "One feature about this dinner that like is the group itself. 1 be- lieve that the army is part of America, the officers present, ci- williams, and officers wives are all part of the army. It is yours and you are part of it. The army cannot be divided from America. You are the whole of America and must pull together.
 "I am honored by the Legion and the Pioneers who I understand are a powerful group. When they speak governors tremble and leg islators respond. They are influen- tial whether it be taxes or sea walls. Thank you"
 Thursday morning General Ei- SenhoWer addressed the army per- sonnel in the Base gymnasium be- fore he and his party left for Nak- nek and Adak.
 He stated that there must be O. peration from all branches of the service, that all we want is peace and the spirit of cooperation must spring from within, from the heart. He stated further that he knew full well that each of the men understood that they must work together with friendliness which means a friendly spirit be tween soldiers in all branches or the service.
 Friendship must be sought be- tween the air forces and ground forces and all forces must coop crate and he felt certain that they would.

Denham Repeats Call
For Anti-Red Pledges
Despite AFL Fears
BY the Assoejotsd pgsss

Robert N. Denham, general coun-
sci Of the National Labor Relations
Board. Is determined to stick by his
anti Communist form ruling despite
American Federation Of Labor fears
that 1t may damage the labor group.
"It might be very convenient to
rewrite the Taft-Hartley labor law
but that's not my privilege" Mr..
Denham told a reporter yesterday.
His Interpretation of the law is
that all top officers of the AFL must
sign pledges that they do not sup
port Communism before any union
aff1liated with the AFL can use the
NLRB's machinery for settling
union bargaining rights and unfair
labor practices charges. The ruling
applies similarly to the CIO.
The unions claim that the Taft
Hartley laws requirement-that
labor organization officers must
file the anti-Communist forms be-
fore qualifying to do business with
NLRB-apphes only to individual
unions and their locals.
Deadline Now October 81.
Deadline for compliance has been
extended to October 81. BY that
time both CIO and AFL conventions
will have had a chance to review
the situation.
Some top AFL unions have ap-
pealed to the NLRB to reverse Mr..
Denham's Interpretation and limited
that If the ruling stands they may
withdraw from the AFL.
Although some CIO leaders have
asserted they will not make such
an afddavit, and some CIO unions
have indicated a desire to comply,
the issue has not come as sharply
into focus In that organization. The
CIO Executive Board met recently
but announced no decision.
Lewis Blocks Compliance.
The AFL Executive Council was
all set to bow to Mr.. Denham's edict
at its recent session in Chicago, but
John L. Lewis, an AFL vice presi-
dent and head of the United Mine
Workers Union, blocked the move
with a fiat refusal to comply.
Asked about this situation, in which
Mr.. Lewis is able to prevent all 9TH
er AFL unions from using the
NLRB's facilities, MIR. Denham COM
mented:
II can't help what Mr.. Lewis does.
II don't want to appear stubborn
about this. But I have given long
and careful consideration to the
Taft Hartley law and there isn't any
other ruling to be made on the nom
Communist affidavit requirement as
I see 1t.
Maybe the courts will differ with
me. But no one yet has been able
to convince me that I'm wrong.
Impressed by Lewis Support.
"And I'm particularly impressed
with the fact that Mr.. Lewis agrees
with me-"
Mr.. Lewis has said that Mr.. Den
ham is probably right in his legal
Interpretation. The mine union
boss said he simply does not propose
to conform because he wants TO
oppose the new labor law all the
way.
Another AFL leader, President
