Refugees Tell Of Uneasy Red
Grip on Baltic
Conquered Peoples not Trusted by Kremlin

Underground resistance army was
not dissipated by Warsaw's offer
of amnesty few months ago.
2. In Lithuania-Anti-C Communists
still are hiding in the forests, prey
ing upon Russian supplies and Rus
sian sympathizers.
In Germany (Soviet zone)-Ships
are carrying German food as we'll
as factory supplies to Tallinn (Ri-
ga) for rail connections to Russia.
Ships return to German ports emp

4. In Latvia-Young men are be-
ing drafted for army duty in Rus
sia. Families are being deported
for slave labor in the interior of the
Soviet.
5. In Estonia-Beggars and thiee
YES from interior Russia prowl the
cities and roam cuntrysides. They
tell Estonians, who have as little
to eat as Germans, that they are
better off than Russians in the
east, contradicting Moscow reports
of big harvests.

6. In Finland-Finnish police, all
ruled from the Kremlin, aid Rus
sian agents in combing cities, viii
lagos, and forest lumber camps for
fugitives from the communist rule.
The fugitives, deported when caught,
include Lithuanian, Estonians and
Latvians from Stalin's newly acquir-
ed territory and East Karelians, and
Ukrainians from original Soviet ter.
ritory. The also include 1910 deser-
ters from the Red army and former
war prisoners of the Firms who had
fought against being returned to
their homelands.
From all of these countries come
consistent reports of hunger. La
borers live on bread, 600 or 700
grams a day. (281a grams con-
stitute one ounce). One months
ration is 400 grams of butter, 400
of sugar, 1900 of barley, and 800
Of meat. Vegetable oil is usually
substituted for the butter allotment
and fish for the meat allotment.
Those who don't have job-chil-
dren, housewives, and old folks
get only about half as much.
Clothes may be bought, but few
perons can buy them. A pair Of
shoes costs the amount Of two or
two and a half months wages for
worker, while a new suit is pric-
ed in the Soviet monopoly stores at
from 10 to 20 months wages. On
the free market, second hand
pair of shoes costs one months
wages and a second hand suit take
workers total income for from
two to, eight months.
Housing Crowded
AS for housing, even the Rus
slams who have emigrated to the
coastal cities for living conditions
superior to interior Russia are jam
med into flats as crowded as rab-
bits in a warren. In the Russian
army, only officers Of the. rank of
colonel and above rate private liv-
ing shelters, according to the Bait
refugees. Communist party big
shots comprise the only other cate
CORY permitted accommodations for
normal family life.

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C.. Oct. IT, -iRl-Fire of undetermined origin early today destroyed the S60,0 ,00O Central Hotel here and fear was felt that missing, elderly Indian woman, last seen in the hotel, may have been a victim of the blaze.
 All other guests of the four-story 7O-room frame hotel clambered down fire escapes in night attire to safety.
 The fire, which also damaged a nearby apartment block, for a time threatened the former United States Army Administration Build ing--a half-block sized structure now owned by War Assets and up for disposal-but was brought un- der control by volunteer firefight- CTS who were assisted by a driving rain.
 Police in this northern British Columbia coast city were carrying out an intensive search for the h. dian woman. Witnesses reported hearing screams from the hotel but the terrific heat from the 4o-foot flames blocked early efforts to get near the building.

4 MEN LOST IN SHIpWRECK, WEST ALASKA
Sixty-Five-Ton Motorship Aux Goes on Sand
 Bdr-Bredks Up

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, oct. IT ,-tR-Four men were lost when the 65-ton motorship Aux, loaded with school supplies and general freight, ran aground on a sand bar Mon day and broke up at the mouth of the Ugashik River, on the north shore of the Alaska Peninsula.
 The men, all well known in the Bristol Bay area, were:
 Fred Lucas, about 50, captain; and Nefita Hansen, Whitey Der ringer and Bert Holland, crew members.
 Peter Hansen, of Ugashik, brother of one of the victims, messaged he found the bodies of Derringer and Holland on beach today. Lucas, a veteran skipper, had sailed on Bristol Bay for Is years.
 The Aux loaded at Naknek nine days ago with cargo for Pilot Point and Ugashik, about 50 miles south of Egegik. The vessel form erly was owned by the Alaska Packers Association and was pur- chased a year ago by Fred Grind, of Egegik.
 Lucas was a former Bureau of Fisheries man in the Bristol Bay area. A daughter believed to be living in Seattle and his wife and stepchildren at Ugashik survive.
 Derringer was also former Bureau of Fisheries employee.
