Mukden, largest city in Manchu- ria, was reported today to have fallen to Chinese communists. The reports were unofficial but appar- ently reliable.
 China's government was tor mented by the twin specters of de- feat and defection of national troops. Fall of Mukden to the Reds would mean the governments loss of practically all of Manchuria. Red control of Manchuria, in turn, would step up the communists timetable for the next probable operation-the battle for North China.
 Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek hastily flew south to Nanking from his Peiping headquarters. In formants in Nanking said Chiang's return there presaged possible drastic developments" Chiang's spokesman in the north declared the battles raging now would be decisive in China's civil war.

PrO-Cruenings Predominant I'm Legislature

JUNEAU, (P - Along with the Democratic sweep of the recent Alaska election, one significant fact has emergend in the even party split in the Territorial Sen ate:
 The pro-Gruening camp will be dominant.
 That development is significant because the policie sof Gov. Ernest Gruening have been major issue in Alaska politics since the one time liberal journalist was ap- pointed by the late President Roosevelt. Gle was reappointed by President Truman but never has been confirmed by the Republican, controlled Senate).
 The Democrats have won l9 out of "A seats in the Lower House, but the Republican-Democratic di- vision in the Senate will be eight to eight.
 Six Democrats and two Republi- cans were elected to the Senate. The Republicans led by the same margin two vars ago and have that advantages in holdovers. That ac- counts for the eight-eight align ment.
 Some of the Republicans are considered in the pro-Gruening camp. Indications on the basis of known records and statements of the 16 Senators are tha II or 12 of them are sympathetic, in general, to the Gruening policies.

Anchorage Denies Army "Inflationary Prices" Charges

ANCHORAGE, (P-Anchorage merchants strongly denied Friday that retail food prices have in- creased sharply since the strike.

gerous. Even a skilled and cautious
driver must be constantly alert
against the hazards he faces as
soon as he turns on his headlights.
Most basic of these hazards is
poor visibility. Lighting systems
on our city streets are antiques.
Most date back at least 30 years.
Their brightness is directed up
ward into tree tops and the roofs

ability" is only one half the recog-
nized minimum for safety.
Dusls-to-Davvn Hazards
l HE nighttime driver is like a
blind man working his way through
an obstacle course. He can't count
on guideposts. for few highways
are marked with painted lines, and
most warning signs are not illu-
minated, cannot be seen until it is
too late to follow directions.
Besides these physical obstacles
there are human troublemakers:
drivers who weave in and out of
lanes, who step on the gas at
intersections, who keep you guess
ing, worrying and hoping. You'll
meet them more often at night
since dark, relatively empty
stretches of road have a particular
appeal for speed fiends. Drinking
is also a nighttime activity and the
drunken driver has become one of
the most active after-dark threats.
It's a rare experience to see one
of these violators get the punish
ment he deserves. In practically
every section of the country. traffic
enforcement is lax after 6 pm. and
lawbreakers generallygo undetected.

10000 people are killed
every year in nighttime
auto accidents. Here's
what we can do about it
TvRED HARRIS took his family
out for a drive one evening
last summer. They decided to 60
to the mountains. 1t was cool
there and a steady speed of 50 miles
an hour kept the breezes blowing.
But Fred found himself going
around a curve before he knew it
was there. The car swerved over
the center line, crashed head-on
into another auto.
BY midnight the police had
cleared away the wreckage that
was once two cars and sent five
bodies to the morgue.
Twenty thousand people die
every year as the Harris family
died-in nighttime auto accidents.
For 80 per cent of all traffic
fatalities in the u. S. occur at
night, although less than Is
per cent of traffic moves dur
ing these hours. To put it an
other way, six out of every 10
traffic deaths take place while
three out of every four cars are
safely garaged.

for each person killed there are 26
more injured, making a total of

Inspector Thomas has been on sick
leave since December 8.
There has been speculation in the
department that Inspector Thomas
will retire for physical reasons. In
event of his retirement it is be-
lieved he would be succeeded by In
spector Truscott. AS chief of de-

Inspector Truscott will continue
in charge of the communications
and record division, which he or

Acquainted With Position.
His appointment as executive Of.
ficer finds him acquainted with the
functions of that position because
he acted as executive officer for
short time after his return from
wartime service as a commander
in the Navy, police officials said.
After an assignment as a precinct
commander, Inspector Truscott was
appointed chief of detectives wher
Maj. Barrett became superintenG-
