Western Germany, Spain To Share In Marshall Plan
(By The Associated Press)


 The 16-nation European recov- cry conference voted unanimously yesterday to include Western Ger many in the Marshall plan.
 The delegates met in Paris in an atmosphere of world crisis, at what secretary of state Marshall has described as a fateful hour.
 Portugal urged the delegates to admit Spain to the program, to be financed by the U. s. treasury. The U. s. senate Sunday voted $5, 300, 100000 program for the first year of Marshall plan opera tion.
 While the delegates whipped into shape a Marshall plan union of non-communist Europe viewed by the west as a bulwark against Soviet expansion, the tension of the current situation was reflected in capitals throughout the world.
 Washington awaited joint ses- sion of Congress today, when Pres ident Truman discussed the world situation.
 Members of Congress think there may be Russian moves in prospect toward Sweden, Norway and Denmark similar to pressure placed upon Finland for a military agreement. If such moves were successful it might help the com munists swing the crucial Italian

Citizens Hospital Committee Gets Quick Action

The group of Nome citizens which has busted itself with the project of temporary quarters for the local hospital met on Monday evening to receive the report of the special committee selected for the survey of the proper site.
 The survey chairman Carl Gla- vinovich reported for the group that the Alaska Native Service building was the economical choice and could be put in order for much less than any of the other sites in question. The floor space and heating equipment is considered adequate and the necessary materials and labor to put the building in proper order for occupancy could be done in very short time. The floor is to be covered with linoleum or some good easily cleaned material and will require about 530 sq. yds. The interior needs paint to the extent of about 52 gallons. Two addition al fire escapes will be added, one on the north end and one on the south end of the main building. A few partitions in the several rooms and the ceiling of the gym nas.um will be lowered.
 In accepting the report of the survey committee the group went on record to go ahead with the plans as quickly as possible and to place the report before the Nome 1 Common Council for immediate action. It was suggested that the Council appoint Carl Glavinovich ! to take charge of the rehabilitation of the building in getting materi- als and labor to complete the job.
 Chris Roust, former council man, suggested that there might be some Territorial funds avail able for just such an emergency and we have in Nome at the pres ent time, and that Governor Greuning should be contacted in the matter.
 Garnet Martin stated that there is an Army Surplus property de- pot in Seattle, where there is con- siderable supply of hospital equip ment which could be used in the Nome hospital, and suggested the City make the necessary contacts.
 It was moved to ask the City Council to hold a special meeting on Tuesday to receive the report of the Citizen Group and to make

Coal Miners Must Have Pension Or Will Not Work

PITTSBURGH, tP)-With eight out of every ten soft coal miners idle, steel industry leaders today pondered how soon to begin slash ing production to save fuel.
 The work stoppage was three days old. More than 339,000 united mine workers had left the pits to support John l.. Lewis demand for $100 monthly miners pensions. Other thousands were expected to quit work today.
 Steelmen dodged ques t n s about how long they can keep go- ing if the walkout continues. They are in a quandary. Most of them could keep going full b S t through a short work stoppage. If it is a long-drawn-out affair, like the 59-day strike of l946, most could save money by cutting back now.
 The miners have said they won't go back until a pension plan is drawn.
 The U. s. bureau of mines said the country had 29-day coal sup ply on Feb. 1, that it likely will be lower in the March 1 report. Any thing below a 30 day supply is considered dangerous.
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The Con- gressional watchdog committee" on labor relations called today for "all facts; from John L. Lewis and soft coal operators on the mine shutdown.
 Senator Ball R.-MinnD, chair man of the Senate-House commit tee, disclosed he has sent similar telegrams to Lewis, president of

managed to water them. The
tops of the onions was the only
green vegetable 1 had for weeks,
and it was real treat to have a
fresh tomato each day. My bed
room was safe from shell fire,
and l never left my apartment to
go to a shelter. But every night
l kept a bucket with sand and
spade close to my bed, in case a
bomb should fall on our house,
and also suitcase with the most
necessary things. Sometimes l
was standing in the hall, the door
open, ready to leave any moment.
The shooting was often very near,
and the people who lived in the
7th floor came down a few floors
and slept in the stair hall. Many
a battle l watched through the
window. The blue tightening, the
small red tracer bullets, the short
yelloW-red shine had been a
beautiful view, had l not known
the horror of war and the des-
truction that was caused! The
noise I heard is indescribable and
was sometimes nearly unbear-
able. One night, there was a ter
rible explosion, and I feared the
David tower was gone, but at
dawn, there it still stood, but
there were two breaks through
the ancient, 2O00-years-old wall.

killed, and when a party of men
tried to help them, Fred's best
friend, Try, was shot and died in
Fred's arms. He had fought "a

a prisoner of war in Crete, before
he joined the Haganah.
