ARMY SHIPS
 AREL0ADED
 AT SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Dec. 28.-tR-Loading was resumed on four Army ships to- day at the port of embarkation as the first break in Seattle's week. long port closure
 Approximately 220 CIO longsnore- men were reported on the job, but unofficial reports indicated tn e work was being done without the usual AFL checkers. AFL uni Il leaders, who held a morning con- ference, could not be reached for comment, and the port of embarka- tion information officer said he could give no official information on the AF'L status.
 Three of the ships are bound for Japan, the other for Alaska.
 The AFL men closed the port last week by refusing to work with the CIO longshoremen because of al- legged teating of two AFL men. The two had worked at the strike-free Tacoma port while the recent CIO longshoremen's strike closed other major ports. CIO union leaders de- nied that their men were respon- sible for violence.

SAYS STALIM K
 PRISONER OF p0LIT BUREAU
President Refuses to Ex- pand on Charges Made
 Against Russ Leaders
(By The Associated Press)


 President Truman declined to expand on his statement that there are certain leaders in the government of that great country CRussia) who are exceedingly anx- ious to have an understanding with us"
 Last June, he said he liked Prime Minister Stalin and said Stalin would keep his agreements if he could, but that Stalin is a prisoner of the Politbureau.'
 Truman accused Russia yesterday of refusing to keep Stalin's agree ments made at Yalto and Pots dam; using a system of morals that are not morals; opposing agreements which might keep peace, and welshing on contracts.

 DISGUISED FURTHER
 IN WASH.,D.(. GLITTER

Further comments on the salary differential for federal employees in Alaska are contained in the re- cent Washington News Letter by Mary Lee Council, secretary to E. L. (Rob) Bartlett, delegate to Con- gress from Alaska.
 This statement, like the one re- ceiyed by various department heads, makes it clear that the 25 per cent differential is cost-of-living al- lowance, rather than post differ ential
 According to members of the Ju- neau group of the National Federa- tion of Federal Employees, the Civil Service Commission for continual tion of the g per cent differential as of January or before, will mean little change from the previous sit- uation of employees in Alaska.
 The main difference is that no retirement credit will be given on the cost-of- living differential, which apparently will be subject to in- come tax.
 Miss Council writes: "The con- clusions in a matter which has never been specifically formulated were tased upon statistics of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other considerations The Commission will from time to time, but at least annually review the places desig-

BARGE BRIGHTER BATTLES 7O-MILE
 GALE AT SPENCER

Being aboard an underpowered motor barge in a 70-mile an hour gale is not much fun, according to Mrs Jack Anderson, Sr., wife of the skipper of the Lois Anderson. The craft was brought in from storm lashed Cape Spencer over the week end by Coast Guard Cutter Storis, after heavy seas sent the barge drifting helplessly into shore about Is miles north of Cape Spencer.
 Mrs. Anderson, who was sweeping up remains of a Christmas tree this morning aboard ship told the story of being caught in the raging bliz- gard and storm.
 We had a beautiful trip across the Gulf" she said. Everything was going fine until just before we were to round Cape Spencer. We ran into a storm that was worse than anything I've ever seen. The waves were so high that when we went into the trough we could see nothing but water walls on either side. The crankshaft on one engine had gone out the night before so that we were underpowered and could make no headway."
 Mrs. Anderson continued, saying that after hearing a weather report over the radio the skipper decided to ask aid from the Coast Guard.
 "Tne Storis was scheduled to meet us at midnight of the afternoon we called, but because of the binding snow storm the two ships were un- able to make contact" she said. The crew put cut flares and spots but it was not until ll.30 the next morning that the Storis sighted the disabled craft" she related.
 Christmas for Skipper and Mrs Anderson, their four-year-old grand son, who is travelling with them, and the crew of seven men, was pretty well interrupted by the bad luck. They had planned to te in Seattle by the 18th. However, the shippers wife, who is acting as ships cook, hustled out Friday af- ter the craft was brought in, to get turkey and all the trimmings for a big Christmas Day celebration on Eoard ship.
 For little four -year-old Johnny Christmas has been delayed until the family arrives in Seattle where
 Santa Claus is keeping a bag o1 good things especially for him." The Anderson family comes from Seldovia where they h i've lived since 1925. The power barge has Leen used in freighting operations In Cook Inlet and is being taken tc Seattle for overhaul. The craft is carrying a cargo of scrap iron. Il was used during the recent maritime strike to carry groceries and sup plies from Seattle to Kodiak ano Anchorage. The boat will leave to- day to continue it's trip to the south

Mrs. Janet P. JOhI Launches ChiIdren's Museum DriUe

Mrs. Janet P. Johl, of Trails Corr ner, Groton, famous for her Dolls of Every Nation Collection, has launched 8 drive to establish in New London, a Children'S Museum, similar to the Children's Museum in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, that is world famous.
 The Museum would provide proper facilities for educational recreation for children in the Greater New London Area, with ac- cents on better movies with edu- cational ard cultural interpreta- tions, music appreciation, lectures on nature and suitable subjects, study of puppetry and actual nak- ing of puppets, children's theatre, visual educational dolls, and in the workshop the construction of mod el airplanes. In fact a program of guided play that could control, and in many instances, eliminate juvenile delinquency.
 "Delinq.ency, after all," Mrs. Johl declared" is to a great extent only an outburst of spontaneous expression. Properly guided, and with a constructive outlet for this feeling, all children are fundament- ally good"
 Fund raising for the Children's Museum is being conducted by the New London Doll and Toy Collec- ton Club. which is Unit No. 25, of the National organization of that name. The National Group is al-

 Column were the police and the trade unions. The moment the
 democratic forces allowed the Com munists to infiltrate and dominate these vital political and economic agencies. they sowed the seeds of the destruction of their country's free institutions and national inde- pendence. Once the Communists in any nation seize the unions and get control of the police, all freedom is lost. Not even the healthiest in- stincts of liberty and the strongest of democratic traditions can serve as a bulwark against the Con1nu- nists attacking with these weapons.

 The only constructive Housing Planning" Sec'y-Treas. Rourke con- tinued, that has been presented to the public in the past few months came from Chester Bowles. MT. Bowles' plan calls for the construc- tion of 56,00O low cost housing units over a period of seven years. This housing to be in addition to the normal annual building program of private enterprise throughout the state. These units to rent from from $25 to $45.0O a month. The cost to the state would be heaviest in the first year of construction, a sum of $4OO,00O. The over all cost for the seven year period would be $3, 100000.

Then these action committees squads of armed Communist gang Sters-forthwith set about to usurp the functions of tthe unions, to seize the offices of rival parties, d to subvert all legally constitut- ed authorities by brutally imposing their will on the people. Thus was the governmest chosen by the people replaced with 8 terrorist dictatorship manipulated by and subservient to the ruthless hier- archy in the Kremlin.
 What { urgent lesson for the workers and freedom-loving peo- pie of all countries to learn! The moment any trade union falls into the hands of Communists, that or ganization is no longer a genuine union, but only a pitiful caricature of a trade union, a sham and a fraud like Hitler's Labor Front. This holds true for Czechoslovakia no less than for Russia. This would hold just as true for every other country-America not excepted.

vantage. Another point about seed
ing is that no matter how wet the
ground, there are no implement
marks if the seeding is done by

Practical Ranch Hand"
When the plane is turned into a
ranch 'hand" it replaces a good

der certain conditions. One of these
is at roundup time. The plane can
cover more ground in a couple of
hours than 20 COW punchers could
cover in a day. What is more, cattle
can hide from a rider but cannot
hide from a vigilant pilot.
A plane in one instance in Mon
tana cut the roundup time from
three weeks to three days and not
a steer was lost. This probably has
happened many times.
On a sheep ranch the plane can
be used much the same for a num-

CAA Prohibits Aerial
busting of 2,4-D

BUSTING of weed-killing 2,4-D
dusts from airplanes was prohibited
by D. w. Renter, administrator of
the CAA, at the request of the U. S.
department of agriculture, following
many complaints that drifting dust
had injured cotton and other broad
leafed crops.
When waivers are issued to op-
orators using aircraft for busting or
spraying, a special provision will be
included which will prohibit the use
of 2,4-D in dust form. The restric-
ton will not apply to 2,4-D sprays
or to insecticide and fungicide dusts
such as are used to destroy the boil
weevil and specific plants diseases.
The department of agriculture's
recommendation to the CAA is an
outgrowth of a house resolution
CHR 452) introduced by Clark w.
Thompson, Texas, and passed by the
house, calling upon the secretary of
agriculture to take action to pro-
hibit damage to valuable crops as
a result of 2,4-D dust.

MONTANA FLYING Farmer
have proved that the plane is the
cheapest form of transportation and
for the farmer or rancher it is even
cheaper than for owners who have
to keep their planes at airports.
This cheapness was demonstrated
by the economy race flown during
the annual convention held at Boze-
man. The cours was al miles start
ing and ending at Gallatin field after
flying first to Townsend and then
Whitehall ~airports.
In the 85-horsepower class the gas
consumption for the 141-mile course
was 6.45 gallons. This is an average
of 21.8 air miles per gallon of gas.
Since the same curse by road
would have increased the mileage
to 1856, the plane flew the course at
the rate of 1873 miles per gallon in
automobile terms. The average of
the speed over the air route was
98.2 miles per hour. Translated into
road miles this is 1925 miles per
hour.
Since this race was run to de-
termine the efficiency of the plane,
the flying time was counted from
the time the plane left the gas pump
until it returned to the same pump.
If time was important on trips of
this distance, the automobile driver
would have needed nearly five hours
for the trip compared with l hour
26 minutes for the plane.
When the plane is changed into
a farm implement it has greater
value. Most every one is familiar
with seeding and busting operations
being as cheap by plane as by other
means provided the acreage is large
enough. In seeding, the plane can do
the job no matter how wet the
ground happens to be. When there
