RR BARGE TO LEAvE50UT.H
 ON OCT. 16
Cargo of Essentials Only to Be Loaded : May Come
 Later 10 SE Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 7.-tR-The first Alaska Railroad barge is sche- duled to sail from Seattle Oct. l6 with urgently needed essentials for civilians along the rail belt"
 Cargo now is being booked.
 Three of the five 2,000-ton barges obtained from the Navy are ready for service after overhauls.
 Larry Moore, assistant to the railroads general manager, said enough cargo has been offered to fill two barges." He said the first barge would carry only such es- sentials as foodstuffs, livestock and poultry feeds. urgent building sup plies to make structures usable for the winter, school supplies, winter clothing and anti-freeze.
 He said the first barge would not carry any supplies for the railroad itself; it will be regular commercial cargo, it will carry no liquor or beer, such secondary it. ems as cosmetics, cigarets and candies will be shunted aside for the second barge
 He said the cargo is being ap- portioned so that no one con- signee will get any large amount"
 On shipments to Fairbanks, he added, it will be taken into con- sideration that wholesalers there will be shipping out to many iso- lated interior points.
 Moore said there is a possibility the ARR. barge service might be extended to Southeast Alaska later if the need should develop there. For the present, he said, the need is not considered as ur- gent there. because the area has some small boat and barge ser vice and supplementary air ser vice is more readily available.

An account of the incident was given to visiting Senators and Con- gressmen recently by Gen. Lucius Clay, American Military Governor in Berlin.
 The Mongol troops had stayed behind in Berlin, hiding in the ruins after the Russian Army with drew to it's own sector, Clay re- ported.
