The workers, in the lace of con- stant crisis, are told where to work and what to do.
 Seeing that these things point in every direction toward a tOtalita- rian government, our people should make up their minds now that we do not want government managed economy. What is hap pening in liberty-loving England is proof that such dictatiOn cannot be avoided once government man agement is adopted. Let us deter mine now that such a blight shall not fall upon the freedom lovin s land of America.

dustry from becoming a complete failure, the British are taking th5 most drastic step. Yes, in peace time one of the greatest liberty loving countries in the histor.y of the world has given it's govern ment authority to draft labor, and to tell each man and woman whcle to work and what to do.
 Our Forewarning
 That England takes this most fatal step means foreWarn ng in plenty to the American people. The heritage of modern Britain is also our own heritage. Our com mon forefatherS loved freedom. Because England enjoyed the greatest measure of freedom com pared with any large country in Europe, she became an influential power. English influence has done much to make men free the world around.
 But despite their great love of liberty, the British people have now found that loss of individual freedom follows adoption of a gov ernment-managed economy, just as night follows day. It leads to this every time. It is sad to see this great country, like others that have accepted the blandishmentS of socialism, willingly give up the freedoms for which her people have shed blood through the cen- turieS.
 Let's Have Freedom
 A considerable number of our people are evidently inspired by foreign ideologies, and some are asking for government control Of American industry. This step Eng. land is now taking is real warn ing to all American workers that with government management of industry there must surely come government dictation to workers

Pope Gives Views On World Affairs
World Copyright, l947, By The Associated PreSs)

VATICAN CITY, P)-On the eve of the eighth anniversary of his coronation, Pope Plus XII told the Associated Press today that nations must surrender some of their sovereign rights if a just and lasting peace is to be achieved.
 The development of the destruc- tive atomic weapons, with the to- tai war they threaten, should per suade the leaders of nations ol their obligation to reach agree ments insuring peace, he said.
 In the last year-the first entire year of the Pope's reign in which there was no declared warfare there has been no marked improv- ment in the worlds outlook for peace, he said.
 The Pontiff evidently was pre- occupied over the prospects for the Moscow conference of fore. gn min iSters, which opened yesterday.
 He nodded assent to comment that the circumstances of the con- ference's beginning did not augur we'll for solid achievements in the shaping of peace.

High School To Present Lively Comedy
 He Couldn't Marry Five"

He Couldn't Marry Five" is the amusing title of the three-act comedy to be produced by the stu dents of Nome High School at the high school gymnasium on Friday evening, March 2l. The title de- scribes the major plot of the play which is all about a young man who goes to visit family with five eligible daughters and falls in love with each and every one of them!
 To make things worse, the sis ters all fall in love with the young man-or think they do. If this is not complicated situation for any young men to find himself in, we'd like to know what is. It seems hopeless, but after many laugh able situations, everything finally straightens out to everybody's sat isfaction through the common sense advice of the girls grand mother.

New Alaska RR. Receives Boost

SEATTLE, (P)-Talk of the ire quently discussed railroad to Alas ka was enlivened again today " tn report that an American company has made formal written offer Co buy the Provincially-owned Pacif- ic Great Eastern Railway and eX- tend it into the Peace River coun- try and to Fairbanks, Alaska.
 The reports were published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. l. added, however, there was no indi- cation in Victoria, as to how seri- ously the Provincial government was viewing the offer.
 Premier John Hagt would not comment on the report, but earlier yesterday had informed Glenn Darlington, of the Alaska commit tee of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, that his government had not granted an option on the Pa cific Great Eastern, nor discussed land grants with any promoters.
 The Post-Intelligencer said the promoters are the Canadian-A Amer ican Railroad and Development Company, a Delaware corporation incorporated two years ago. It re- portedly has the backing of sev- eral large eastern underwriting firms and banks. ...
 The 347-mile long Pacific Great Eastern runs from the head of Howe Sound, 40 miles from Van couver, to Quesnel, B. C., 80 miles from Prince George: It has long been regarded as a valuable link" in any proposed railroad from the Pacific Northwest to Alaska.

Soviet Ambassador Leaves London

LONDON, Russian diplomatic sources disclosed that Georgi Za- subin, Soviet ambassador to Bri- tain, left London suddenly for Moscow early today.
 The Soviet embassy staff was not available for comment, but other Russians said Zarubin's re- turn to Moscow was flor consulta- tions in connection with the for eign ministers conference.
 He left London by train.
 The Russian embassy in Wash ington advised the U. s. State De- partment yesterday that the Sov- jet ambassador to the United States, Nikolai V. Novikov, would leave Thursday for Moscow.
 The Russian sources here said Zarubin, who assumed the ambas- sadorship here in January, was mo particular expert" on German and Austrian affairs, which are the subjects for the four-power talks.
 Therefore, they said, it could be assumed his consultations with foreign minister V. M. Molotov would be strictly routine" They said the British government had been informed of Zarubin's inten- ton to leave.

Neither Jimmy nor william want
ed Jeanne for the role.
She's a good little actress, and
has done pretty well on the stage
admits Jimmy, but I didn't think
she was ready for starring role
in pictures yet. Family is family
but by the same token. business is
business. And our business is max
ing money by making pictures.
I'VE tested Is girls, and none of
them quite suited us. Finally we
started listening to Hank Potter,
the director. He'd been plugging
Jeanne because of her success in
The Iceman Cometh.'
so finally we tested Jeanne and
sure enough, she clicked.
so help me, she didn't get the
part because she was our sister.
She got 1t solely because she won
it in open competition.
And that, children, Is Jimmy Gag
ney's own version Of how Sister
Jeanne became a success in Holly
