Infant Dies in Fire Which Destroys Cabin

Thursday morning about nine o'clock the fire department was called out in answer to an alarm from Box 32 on 3rd and D street, from a small cabin, partly logs, a relic of the early days, where Ed die Ahkolik and family were liv- ing.
 Mrs. Ahkolik had left the house for a few minutes, leaving the baby asleep and three pre-school children, two of her own and one of the John Norbert family, play ing quietly on the floor.
 In their play they apparently tried to light the gas lamp which blew up and started the fire. The children ran from the house, leav- ing the baby asleep. The fire spread so rapidly that by the time aid came it was beyond control. Floyd Wheeler rescued the infant through a window, after donning gas mask, but it. was too late to save its life.

Truman Shows
 Mailed U. $. Fist To Communism

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman today pitted this coun- try'S full political power and pres tige against the spread of com anywhere - inclu d n g China.
 At the same time a five-point administration plan began to emerge; a plan for coming to grips with what secretary of state Mar shall considers a great crisis" in the world.
 Within a few hours of each other, both the President and his secretary of state spoke out with extraordinary frankness on the state of affairs resulting from the bitter conflict between Russia and the western powers.
 For the first time publicly, the chief executive admitted that his faith in the attainment of real world peace has been somewhat shaken. He said so at a White House news conference late yes terday.
 Marshall, appearing last night before a meeting of the federal council of churches, declared flat ly that "the world is in the midst of a great crisis, inflamed by D opaganda, misunderstanding, anger and fear"
 The President was in the audi . (Continued on Page Four)

Senate Would Cut Income Taxes

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senate Republican leaders lined up today behind a $4,7OO,OOO,OOO income tax cut bill-and hoped for strong Democratic support.
 The Senate finance committee voted 10 to last night for a tax slash of that size.
 Tn doing so, it whittled S1,8OO,- from the S6, 800, ,000,000 tax bill passed overwhelmingly by the House February 2.
 The purpose of the Senate strat- egy is to try to win enough Demo- cratic votes to pass a bill over the veto the Republicans expect. That would take a two- thirds majority in both the Senate and House.
 Except for one major change which trimmed the amount of the cut, the Senate measure is practic- ally the same as the House bill.
 The Senate bill provides for tax cuts ranging from 12.6 per cent for those with net incomes of up to $2,000; "A per cent on incomes of from S2,000 to S136,719; and 5 per cent on in- comes over $136,719.

"Keep Cool; But Prepare For
 Aggressive War;
(BY Elton C. FaY)

GAP Military Affairs Reporter
 WASHINGTON, (P) - Military developments in the United States reflect the "very, very serious" world situation noted by secretary of state Marshall.
 High command conferences |. new weapons . Quests for mili- tary manpoWer Congressional warnings against cutting defense funds.
 All these coincided with Mar shall's grave summation of the trend of global affairs.
 But just as the secretary voiced an implied plea to the American people yesterday to keep cool, other top officials in both the diplomatic and military branches of the government took pains to stress this:
 All efforts to build up the United States armed might are aimed solely at guarding against aggressive attack
 Secretary of defense Forrestal told a news conference yesterday that it is not the nature of democ- racies, particularly this democ- racy," to plan a war deliberately.
 But the United States is deter mined to put it's military house in order.
 Here are some of the latest eff forts:
 High command: Forrestal has ordered the joint chiefs of staff to meet with him and tell him where they disagree about what service should do what in a war.
 Weapons: While making ready for further tests of atomic wea- pons in the Pacific, the military has begun experiments in Califor- mia with the worlds biggest stand ard explosive bomb-a 21-ton mis- Sile.
 The navy, stressing more and more the role of carrier-borne avi- ation in its fleet, proposes to build a giant 80,000-ton flattop. Such carrier could make possible new and even harder-striking task forces.
 Manpower: A new effort to push un ersal military training through Congress is underway.
