Russia Doesn't
 Want To Make War At This Time

WARSAW, CP) - Eight Labor members of the British Parlia- ment say Prime Minister Stalin told them when they visited him in Russia recently that he wished to resolve political and economic issues with the United States and Britain and impressed them as having no thought of war.
 (An Associated Press dispatch from Warsaw originally quoted the Britons as saying Stalin told them he had no thought of mak- ing war. No direct quotation was supplied on this angle, however, and the statement was revised later to say Stalin impressed them as having no thought of warD Konni Zilliacus, head of the eight-man British delegation, said Friday night that Stalin added that if America and Britain dio not want to settle differences "we shall wait until they regain their reason"

 There was some experimenting with air cargo before the war. During the war some of the larger airlines made start on it.

which overfloWed the capacity of the scheduled airlines.
 How Fight Started
 As the airlines rebuilt their fleets, much of the heavy demand for air transport melted away. The issue is now between the air lines and a relatively few large inde- pendents.
 This latter group has won temporary right to give scheduled cargo service. The airlineS made a big move to meet the competition by reducing their rates to 20 cents a ton-mile Aug. 1. This compared with an average of about 16 cents for the un-certificated operators, some of whom promptly cut their rates to an average of about l3 cents. Three airlines-American, Cap ital and United - were most di- rectly affected by that rate slash. They countered with a reduction to about 12 cents, and the inde-

Alaska Observes It's Eightieth Anniversary

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Ala a celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Territory's purchase from Russia Saturday.
 Numerous guests from the United States and from all over Alaska assembled here for the Territory's biggest celebration. AS part of the observance the Alaska Railroads new streamliner train was christened and made a special run to Mount Mckinley park.
 A Days of '99 ball'' was held at the Mount Mckinley park ho- tel Saturday night, with Fairbanks representatives from the north and joining in the activities. In contest entered by more than 1000 persons, Mrs. Molly Naming, An chorage, won first prize with the name "Au-Ro-Ra" for the stream line, with the A R R in capitals, standing for Alaska Railroad. In ceremonies Friday at Fort Yukon, where on Aug. g, 1869, Capt Charles Raymond arrived and informed the residents that the British trading post was part of the Territory of Alaska, an American flag was again raised over the old fort.
 Judge Anthony J. (Tony) Di- mond, former Alaska Delegate to Congress, praised the foresight" of secretary of state William H. Seward, who bought Alaska, at a meeting here yesterday.
 Seward looked into the future and saw that the purchase of Alas ka was indispensable to the United States" he said.
 'It is unfortunate that the gov ernment does not use a little of that foresight today and make Alaska a State" he added.
 It was on Friday, Oct. IS, 1867, when the actual transfer of the Territory was made from Russia to the United States at Novo Ark hangelsk, now Sitka, histories show.

work of defenses in strategically critical Alaska, an integrated sys tenn including such installations as radar warning stations, under ground command posts and fight CT fields.
 An official summary issued to- night by the air force high com mand lifted a corner of the cur tain on USAF activities on the Arctic frontier during the last year.
 Twelve months of flights by Alaska-based squadrons making aerial studies, weather flights and conducting training operations, said the statement, have proved the USAF can fly anywhere in the Polar regions during any sea- son of the year"
 Ranging out from American territory over the no-man's land, aircraft of the 45th Reconnais- sance Squadron have made more than 100 flights lover the gea- graphic North Pole and its imme- diate vicinity" the statement dis closed.
 The squadron was sent to Alas ka in June, 1946, to observe and photomap the Alaskan area for the strategic location of defense components"
 These componentS, the state ment said, included an inter-de- pendent system of early warning sites Tadar), fighter bases and un- derground fighter control centers with necessary facilities for cold weather testing of heavy bom- bardment units" (such units are made up of B-29 and newer mod els of ultra-long range bomb car rying aircrafD.
 The air force statement did not say how far these defense projects had been advanced, but army en- gineers and the air force have been authorized, so far, to spend more than $75,000,000 in Alaska In addition to announced con- Struction programs for Ladd Field, Mile 26 have been uncon- firmed but undenied reports of pew beseS being built on the Arctic Ocean rim of Alaska and Canada.
 The USAF reported that valu- able geographical, navigational and weather discoveries had been made during the Arctic opera lions, including the fact that there are three magnetic north poles instead of one. CA magnetic pole is the point toward which an ordinary magnetic compass turns).
 The poles are located in an eliptically shaped area with the major pole on Prince of Wales Island, instead of the long-report- ed position at the lower tip of Bothia Peninsula. There are local poles on Bothurst Island and Bo- thia Peninsula, the statement said.
 The pioneering 46th Reconnais- sance Squadron, which has flown more than 5000 hours and l,000, ,000 miles since its arrival in the thea ter, has been followed by other units including the 57th Fighter group, the 54th troop carrier squadron, the 415th night fighter squadron and the 10th rescue squadron.

The story related that Captain
Gushing was in command OF the
boat that pushed by the fort and
was shelled on its return. The
story further stated that the boat
had gone into a cove above the
fort and that Captain Gushing had
gone ashore and had sneaked pass
ed sentries into the fort proper
and had hidden under one of the
big guns while Colonel Taylor was
giving his address of thanks to the
band members.
PAPER REPORTS TALE-The
newspaper carried a report Of
what Colonel Taylor had said. Con.
federate officers then, for the first
time, recognized that Captain Cush-

report the speech SO accurately.
In addition, the newspaper car

ing and his boat returning down
the river, drawing and returning
the fire of the fort.
