Cancel Aleutian Mail Contract

SEATTLE, (P-Capt, J. H. Pe- trich, skipper and owner of the Alaska carrier Aleutian Mail, dis closed yesterday that his mail con- tract between Seward and Atka and Dutch Harbor has been can celled by postal authorities.
 He asserted that the cancella- ton will mean that people at iso- lated Aleutian outposts will be without regular and direct freight and passenger service. The people, he said, are protesting the move.
 Petrich said the mail will be carried by air to a western point and distr ',uted by small boats. He said the uLil contract amounted to a virtual subsidy for the freight and passenger operation.

Honest Cabbie Aids Queen

SEATTLE, (P) - If it hadn't been for an honest cab driver, Queen Kathleen Clawson of Fair banks might have had her Seattle vacation trip sadly curtailed.
 The blonde queen, who, with her four attendants, is spending a weeks vacation in Seattle, almost lost her purse-containing all her vacation money-Tuesday.
 Tuesday morning the five girls and Miss Lulu Fairbanks hired a cab to take them to the Smith Tower building. After they left the cab, Miss Clawson noticed she had left her purse in the vehicle.
 The cabbie had driven off by then so they dropped in ground floor office.
 Hardly had they settled down when the cab driver walked in with the purse.
 .".We didn't even get his name" ;" Miss Fairbanks said. 'He had searched all over the building for us. Wasn't that an honest thing to do?"

Archbishop Plays Birth Control

HARTFORD, Conn, (P) - Fa- nous old Protestant families of Boston and New England have been criticized by Roman Cath ollie archbishop for what he term ed their failure to reproduce them selves.
 The Most Rev. Richard J. Cush- ing, archbishop of Boston, attack ing birth control and the contra ception movement in speech before 3,20O persons at the nation al Catholic family life conference here, asked:
 What is to become of our coun- try if the most privileged people in it fail or refuse to reproduce themselves?"
 "The Adams, the Bradfords, the Eliots, the Coolidges, and that distinguished line of Cushings to which I do not belong" were sin gled out for especial mention by the archbishop.
 He cited as evidence the Boston telephone directory. It contained, he said, columns of Kellys, Co., hens, Kennedys and Sullivans in contrast to a half-column of Eli ots. And most of the Eliots, he added, were the Eliot Garage, Eliot Repair Shop, Eliot Square Fish Market and other such list ings."

Many Injured In Jerusalem Explosion
(By James M. Long)

JERUSALEM, (P)-The closely guarded Jewish agency building was badly damaged by an explo- sion yesterday soon after car flying an American flag was seen entering its courtyard.
 The Jewish Agency, the official organization for the Palestine Jewry, said nine persons were killed and 89 injured. Up to 500 persons were in the building and 50 or 60 were in the right wing, which was the worst shattered.
 Jews in the building at the time said the automobile with the American flag entered the court yard through the guarded gate with two men inside. The men parked the car, walked out past the guard and drove away in a waiting taxicab, the witnesses said. The building caught fire after the blast.
 The gate guards said that be- cause the car showed the Ameri- can flag and the occupants "seem- ed English or American types" they let it in without careful check.
 A source in Haganah, the Jew ish agency's militia, said examina- ton of wreckage indicated the au- tomobile was that of United States consul general Robert B. Macatee, stolen Wednesday.
 The building, finished in the late twenties, housed all archives of the agency and the most inn portant records of Zionism.

Cincinnati Enouirer)

(ClnclnnaCl EHqulrer)
 Last year. in connection with the unfication of the armed forces Congress established Central In telligence Agency It was not to suppant the various operating intelligence services of the Army and Navy the Treasury and Justice Departments But it sup posed to coordinate their work bring together the data gathered by them, and make it available to those agencies of government that need such Information.
 The CHA replacing a slightly different unit which had operated in wartime without formal statutory authority has not been without headaches chiefly from the rivalry and jealousy of older intelligence services
 The outbreak of revolution in Bogota provided a convenient opportunity for Congress to dig into the record of this new agency It is doing SO It finds, however that Secretary of State Marshall and his colleagues went to Colombia knowing there was a possibility of trouble there. They had been warned, and by the CHA.
 For the moment, this clears the skirts of the new Central Intelligence Agency. But there are two things to remember. First the CHA is not doing as good a job as it should it's powers very limited It answers not the armed forced the President. but to the National Security Council an nerdepart- mental agency which is merely pocymakng com- mitee not an operating outfit. The CA should not be held to an unuy strict standard of efficacy because it will need time to develop good working relation with the older intelligence services
 The second thing to keep in mind is the folly of public inquiries into any intelligence agency The use fulness of intelligence work depends very greatly on it's being inconspcuous. If it is necessary for Con- gressonal committee to deye into the workings of the CHA should do so in closed session. and then make no disclosure of it's findings unless it is prepared to recommend legislative changes.

RUSSIAN PEOPLE GET
 HOPES UP

Most significant reaction to the Molotov note-exchange was the way the Russian people gobbled up the newspapers that morning. The newsstands were cleaned out. The news bulletin boards had more eager spectators than ever.
 In other words, peaceful nego- tiations with the United States was hot, burning news. People ate it up. In ether words, also, the Russian people don't want war And if you look over the devasta- tion Of their country, you can readily see why not.
 However, now that we have slap ped the Russians down with state ments that we don't want to talk over our problems, the job of psy- biological warfare becomes all the mere important. You can imagine what the Moscow propaganda ma chine will do with the Truman Marshall statements discouraging conference with the Russians They'll say: We told you so. You see. the Americans don't want tc talk peace. They're only interested in war"

COLD WAR IN ITALY

Last month several thousand Americans pitched in to send friendly messages to the Italian people on the eve of their election. It was the greatest demonstration of psychological warfare" the world has ever seen.
 Actually psychological warfare is the wrong term. unless you think in terms of the cold war. But anyway it was a case where Ameri- cans write several million letters to Italy, sent short-ware radio broadcasts to Italy, got up a spec ial message signed by prominent citizens to the Italian people.
 It was a case where the American people and the American govern ment pulled together, with results highly gratifying to all.
 During that election and since, a Make-Democracy-Li contest has been conducted by shortware radio to the Italian people, in coopera- ton with the World Wide Broad casting Foundation, the Voice of America, and a dozen or so patrio- tic businessmen who have contri- buted prizes Italian essays on

STAY OFF MT. JUNEAU

Juneau may well issue warning to stay OH Mt. Juneau.
 Stay off Mt. Juneau. You have not lost anything up there.
 This is for strangers just visiting here for day or two.
 Stay off Mt Juneau but if you must climb It, take an experienced guide. There many here who can answer that purpose.
 If strangers seek to climb go in groups, and hang together up and down. But groups unless experienced mountain climbers should, for safety sake, secure guide.
 If YOU are a stranger, don't climb Mt Juneau alone Take guide.
 This warning also applies to resident newcomers.
 How often during the past years has the z-s signal summoned Juneau's Volunteer Bremen ana others to the Fire Hall? When the announcement IS made as to the cause of the alarm, ann or men or child lost on Mt Juneau the countenance o all Just drops The firemen and others know just exactly what that means-a rescue from the treacherous Mt Juneau entaing perhaps not only their own hVes

but a most hazardous duty to perform
 It means night or maybe day, of mercy work given readily but always with the exclamation, why do they do it.?
 It means perhaps fatality, and the hard task ol bringing the victim down to the road
 It means perhaps the finding of mountalr climber on a ledge which means lowering oi ropes to bring him to safety.
 It means perhaps the finding of climber with injuries which the taking of stretcher to the scene and the aborous effort to bring him down
 Juneau search and rescue parties have experienced all these in the recent years.
 And we can only issue the warning again to strangers, stay off Mt. Juneau
 There is another mountain, readily accessible and with little danger. That is Mt Roberts. There is well defined trail to the timber line then posts to the top as guide marks. The view from Nit. Roberts is a splendid one and the climber has travelled marked trail which if followed will no 2-9 alarm, unless some unexplained incident occurs.

making democracy live have been pouring in at the rate of several thousand week.
 When this column recently pro- posed a similar friendship propa- ganda drive to win over the Rus sian people, all sorts of Americans volunteered to cooperate. F. w Danner, a printer of Akron, Ohio patriotically volunteered to print free, a million copies of any pro- paganda message to be sent to the Russian people.
 The United States Time Corpora tion also volunteered large num- Der of Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watches to go along with any pro- paganda messages to Russia. The Harman Watch Company has off cred the same. The Schutter Can dy Company of Chicago volunteered a million candy bars, while John Paul Jones of Franklin, Pa, off cred 1,200 pounds of candy.
 In Germany, after VIE Day, the Russians went wild over wrist watches, especially Mickey Mouse watches. In Austria, large num- bers of the Red Army have de- serted-largely because they have come to realize the benefits of western civilization. Even Austria, war-torn and tawdry as it is right now. looks lot better than Rus sian Communism.

PENETRATING THE IRON
 CURTAIN

So one of our problems is to let the Russian people realize that our much-criticized capitalism has a lot of advantages they don't know about, and second, that we are not anxious to ram anything down any nations throat-except peace.
 And if some wrist watches, or -Roebuck catalogues, or can dy or some other kinc of propa- ganda dropped or struggled into Russia would help, let's try it. It maye be a small step, but at least it's step in the right direction and better than sitting on our hands.
 And if the State Department is sitting on it's hands because it's hamstrung for propaganda funds, II know lot of Americans who will gladly contribute or cooperate in every way possible. They feel more deeply than our diplomats can imagine about the dangers of war and our hopes for peace. And while they are willing to pay tax es to build up big air force and any other rearmament necessary, they also want more done than mere negative defense. They want to see concrete, continuous steps taken to head off war.
 One of the surest ways to head off war is to show the Russian people that we, the American peo- pie, aren't what the IA men in the Kremlin say we are.
 As long as the Kremlin knows that 18000o,00o Russians will un- flinchingly obey the order to march-without Congressional de- bate, without criticism, and with out knowing anything about the issues-then war remains an ever- present danger
 What the State Department Is doing to head off this danger can not be seen even with micro scOne.
