German Communists
Reveal Aim 10 Replace
Allied Control Council.
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Mar. 18.-German
Communists announced today |
their intention Of replacing the
four-power Allied Control Coun-
Gil with a German government"
The council has been function
ing by wartime agreement among
President Roosevelt, Prime Min
lister Stain and Winston
Churchill.
Herman Matern, Berlin leader of
the Communist-controlle Socialist
Unity (SEDD Party, told a Soviet
led Peoples Congress" that a con-
stitution for a German republic
must be worked out very quickly"
Thousands massed here to cele-
brate the centennial of the 1S4s rev.
olution and honor those who fell
in that unsuccessful effort to estab-
lish constitutional German GOV
.ernment.
The congress is expected to set up
a 400-member Peoples Council late
today. The Communists have
claimed for this council the right
to speak for all Germans.
I'm view of developments and
the fact that the Inter-Allied Con-
troll Council is losing its foundation
continually" Matern said, 1T is
understandable that it also is losing
its character as lawmaking body
for all Germany.
Il therefore consider 1t fitting
that the commission which the Peo-
pies Congress will establish should
move very quickly to work out a
constitution Of the German republic,
considering the lessons of the Wei
mar Republic, in order that we can
replace the Allied Control Council
as soon as possible with a German
government on the basis of a new
constitution (
Two rival demonstrations were
planned for late afternoon of this
public holiday. Communist led
crowds were to march to cemetery
in the Soviet sector where the dead
Of 1S4S lie buried. Anti-C Communist
Social Democrats, Christian Demo-
Gratis and Liberal Democrats sched-
uled q mass meeting before the gut
ted Reichstag, symbol of Hitler's
perfldy. A heavy morning rain
threatened to dampen both demon
5trations.
Marshal VASTLY D. Sokolovsky an
nounced today pardon for all per-
sons in his jurisdiction serving iail
terms of one year or less except
Spectators and black marketeers."
The Soviet military governors am
nesty applied only to prisoners in
the Soviet sector Of Berlin and the
Soviet operational zone.

Market Digs In For Last-Ditch Stand
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK, R)-Grain prices moved wildly Saturday to show some evidence the market was digging in for a last-ditch stand after a three-day tumble.
 Grain contracts for nearby de- livery again hammered down but later deliveries at times managed sizable gains. Corn was more vul- nerable to rapid-fire selling than wheat.
 The resistance in grains spread elsewhere. Cotton advanced at New York and the stock market feebly edged ahead.
 The weeks heavy losses in grains and other commodities have already spread to the retail food counter.
 Announcements of lower prices for lard and flour were wide spread and pork products were

 Butler said the Territory needs improvement in all types of trans portation, water, railroad, air and roads.
 He urged that the army, which needs concrete roads for trans porting equipment and material, construct them and that the cost be charged to national defense. Other roads in the Territory, he said, should be of gravel to get the greatst mileage with the money available.
 He recommended:

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES TO CONTINUE

The special evangelistic services being conducted at the Assembly of God Church by evangelist Homer F. RugWell of Everett, Washington, will continue another week.
 We are happy to let the many interested friends of Nome know they will have another week to enjoy the blessing and presence of the Lord with us each night at 7:30, with the exception of Satur- day. We have felt impressed of the Lord to continue to minister His Great Eternal word to the many sincere and hungry hearts that are attending the services from night to night.
 Some of our friends have ex- pressed desire to attend the services but due to other engage ments have not been able to do so. This will be your opportunity to enjoy the services with us. Come and bring a friend.
 We will endeavor to sing that favorite song of yours if you like to sing, and if you are interested in the word of God, and what the future holds for you, join us each night this week in the services. We will look to the Lord for His help and guidance for your spirit ual benefit.

Sweden Top In Winter Olympics
(BY Bill Macklin)

ST. NORTH, Switzerland, (P) The fifth winter Olympic games were ended. But the discord of an unprecedented ice hockey row lin- gered on today as the athletes headed for their homes in 28 na- tions.
 Sweden won the majority of honors during the 10 days of com petition. The United States fin iShed third in total points.
 The United States provided an unexpected heroine in Mrs. Gret- chen Fraser, winner of the wo- mems special ski slolam and sec ond in the Alpine combination ski event.
 Frances Henri Oreiller was the star individual performer, win ming two first places in downhill skiing and the Alpine combined.
 But long after these perform ances are forgotten, the tug-of- war over which of two United States hockey teams should repre- sent the U. s. A. will be remem- bered.
 The U. s. Olympic committee hockey team came, saw, and re- mained just tourists in this pic turesque Alpine resort, where tat tered bunting flaps lazily over worn and dirty snow.
 Its rivel, the amateur hockey as- sociation of America, was accept ed as the U. s. entry by the Swiss Olympic committee. The A. H. A team played in the nine-team tournament, and finished a good fourth behind Canada, Czechoslo- vakia and Switzerland. Tn is fourth place, however, will never show in Olympic records.
 For the International Olympic committee ruled out the AHA. Average Brundage, Anne r n I.O.V. member, said the AHA. represents commercial interests in ice hockey.
 . The I.O.V. also decreed that the international ice hockey fedora ton, of which the AHA. is a member, shall no longer be the governing body of amateur ice hockey throughout the world.
 That was the windup after two weeks of torrid debate. Tempers flared, names were called. Moth ing like it had been known in the history of the modern Olympic games, founded in 1896 to pro- mote peace apoOOo nations

The fox ran West across the
