CONTROL:
On Rents

One of the promises that Presi-
dent Truman made to the people
during his campaign tour was that
he would secure an extension OF
rent controls.
And scarcely had the startling
election day passed before a con-
certed rent control effort was be-
ing brought under way by the DEM
ocrats. Rent Director Tighe E.
Woods announced that he would
ask the new congress not only to
extend but to strengthen the pres
ent rent control law.
HE SAID he would ask congress
to extend the rent law for II
months past its present expiration
date. March 81, and to close what
he considers three big loopholes in
the present act.
THE shortage of rental housing
is more serious today, especially in
the smaller communities, than it
was a year ago." he declared.
In addition to extending and
%buttressing the present law, Woods
indicated that he probably would
ropos that congress give nm
new authority to restore controls,
or impose them for the first time,
in areas that may be doomed by
new defense activity.
These are the changes ne will
ask:
1. EVICTION CONTROLS - Re-
store federal control over evictions.
Now evictions are left to local
courts. The result, Woods said, is
q serious black market in rents.
2. TREBLE DAMAGES-Give the
rent director power to sue rent
~violators for three times their
overcharge. Now only the tenant
can bring such suits. This means
hat landlords usually get off with
simple repayment of the owe
charge.
8. CRIMINAL SANCTI0NS-Pro-
vide Jail terms and fines for con-
victed violators. This would give
the rent director a weapon to back
up his orders.
Woods was confident that the new
Democratic congress would receive
his proposals cordially, and most
sources on Capitol Hill confirmed
that belief.

REBUILT:
By StaSSen?

In the clear, bitter post-election
light the Republican party turned
upon itself in a fury of self
examination and didn't like what
it saw.
MOST OF the top-level influential
party members wanted to see some
changes made, and most of them
seemed to think that Harold E.
Stassen was the man to make them.
AS a result, the former governor
of Minnesota, now president of the
University of Pennsylvania, may be
assigned the job of rebuilding the
COP for the 1852 presidential cam
paign.
STILL licking their wounds COP
leaders were urging the youthful
Stassen to lead a movement to
shape the party along more liberal
lines. Those party liberals were
planning to meet with Stassen for
a brass tacks" discussion of a
party reconstruction.
Stassen was refusing to comment
on the reports that he might step
i. as general contractor for the re-
construction job, but it was a
known fact that he "a being
sv amped with requests, many of
them from Republican bigwigs, to
undertake the task.
Il THINK the situation calls for
some reflection" was the only COM
ment the man who had been de-
feated by Governor Dewey for the
COP presidential nomination would
make.
One of Stassen's promises when
he dropped out of the presidential
nomination fight at Philadelphia
last June was to work toward
Strengthening 1.-The liberal view
point within the party"

AIRLIFT:
Nem Crisis

Morally defeated in their efforts
to make good the blockade of Ber-
lin, the Soviets were brewing up a
new batch of trouble tc keep Amer
lean planes out of the skies over
the German capital.
The Russian military administra-
ton in Berlin charged that foreign
planes had flown illegally over the
Soviet zone of Germany and
threatened to force such planes
down if it ever happened again.
1T HAD all the earmarks of a des-
perate, last-ditch attempt to keep
the U. S. airlift from succeeding
in its mission of supplying food and
fuel to Germans inside the block
AIDED zones.
But American officials weren't
having any of it. In a brittle reply to
the Soviet letter, Brig. Gen. C.. K.
Galley stated that if any Americans
were injured as a result of a planes
being forced down the full respon-
sibility would rest on Soviet Shout
ders.
THE RUSSIAN letter, received
from 1t. Gen. G.. S. Lukyanchenko,
chief of staff of the Soviet military
administration, asserted that for
eign aircraft not bearing identifi-
cation marks of nationality" had
flown over Soviet territory both
within and without the international
air corridors.
His missive concluded with a fiat,
two-point threat of Red intentions
in the future:
l.. SOVIET air patrols would force
down all unidentified aircraft over
the Soviet zone.
2. SOVIET air patrols would
force down all foreign aircraft ap-
pearing over the Soviet zone out
side the limits of the air corridors
and greater Berlin.
The incident was tabled as the
latest crisis" in the Berlin sltua-
ton, but in comparison to the
other crises that have come and
gone this one appeared to be little
more than a tempest in a tea
pot. It seemed to convey the i'm
preston that the Russians were
losing their grip-that they couldn't
even foment a real, hot crisis any
more.
Not that the affair was to be
taken lightly. In an atmosphere
charged with hostility it wouldn't
take much more than the inten-
tional destruction of one American
plane to touch off a serious con-
6ict.

The question vas not only, when

''how long will the central Chinese

This appeared to be the great,
all-consuming crisis in Chang Kaf-
shek's decade-long struggle to
maintain a spark of life in the
Chinese republic. But the cold,
smothering wind of communism
was blowing strong.
RED TROOPS had taken control
of Manchukuo, former National
stronghold in the North, and that
victory appeared to be the key
which the Communists could use to
sweep down into the vital areas of
China itself.

years had been nothing but an
agonizing battle against imperial

Thomas (R., N. ", chairman Of
the house un-American activities
committee, was in hot water, and
it was making his neck as red as
the political complexion of any
Communist he had ever pointed a
finger at.
AFTER two months of ominous
rLmblings to the effect that some
thing dire was in store for the COP
congressman who had caused the
administration so much trouble by
shouting that the government was
employing Communists, the news
broke: Thomas was charged by a
federal grand jury of conspiring to
pad the payroll of his congressional
office.
The indictment accused Thomas
and his former secretary, Miss
Helen Campbell, of conspiring to
maintain fictitious employees in
Thomas office so the salaries paid
to these persons could be diverted
into Thomas bank account.
At his Allendale. N. j., home,
Thomas growled, II have nothing

would have an opportunity to speak
when his trial got under way,

 Ganson, secretary of the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber stated that the businessmen of the City of Seattle were pleased to be able to do something for AL aska which would show the true spirit of cooperation which exists between the Pacific Northwest and the Territory of Alaska.
 Mayor Luther Dunbar spoke in behalf of the City of Nome, and for the people of the north country in general, stating that the spirit of friendliness still ex- ists for those who care to partake of it's hospitality.
 A. Polet, local businessman, gave a brief resume of the gold rush history in the Nome area, be- ginning with his experiences in

the Seattle rush to Alaska in the late 1890's and the early 190O's.
 He stated that the fever got most of his Seattle friends when he was too young to take ad- vantage of the opportunity. But when he was of age he came to Nome and established himself in business.
 Polet told of the business boom given to Seattle by the Alaska gold rush and that at one time dur ing the depression, a shipment of gold from Alaska put Seattle back on a 'cash basis" after having used scrip" for money and cred it's business.
 He told the group that there was still room for a greatly in creased population in Alaska, and that he expected some of them to return some day to take part in the development of the territory. The advancement, he said, was not only good for Alaska, but would build Seattle beyond all hopes.
 Gordon Osborne, announced that his committee, composed of himself, Keith Hedreen, Tom Me Allister and members of the NV. Alaska Chamber of Commerce, members of the Nome Rotary Club and citizens of Nome had made all the necessary arrangements for the day and evening and for the final departure at TOO am. on the plane for Kodiak.
 Following the dinner, at eight o'clock, the group of singers gave a grand concert in the Nome High School auditorium.
 The program included numbers in the classical, as well as we'll as lighter vein, from Bethoven and Handel to Sea Chantels ar ranged by MT. Lawrence, group director.
 The entire group of songs and accompanying numbers on the pro- gram were exceptionally well re- ceived by the several hundred persons present in the auditorium.
 A group of tribal dances were portrayed by the Alaska Native Brotherhood in a manner of ex- pressing their appreciation to the Glee Club for their fine concert.
 The eskimo dances were put on in purely tribal custom as to motion and chanting which is meant to portray some activity or part in their living or past customs.
 After a nights rest the group continued on its way by Pacific Northern plane to Kodiak and
