Alaska SS. Protests Canadian Vessels In Alaska Trade

SEATTLE, (P) - Details of a protest against pending Senate legislation which would permit transportation of passengers by Canadian vessels between Alaska ports were revealed by F. A. Zeus- Ter, executive assistant to the pres ident of Alaska Steamship Co.
 The legislation, Senate bill 1884, also would permit transportation of merchandise via Canadian rail and water routes from the Contin- entaD United States to Alaska ports.
 Zeusler's protest was made in a letter last December to Sen. Hugh Butler of Nebraska, who intro duced the bill following a tour last summer of Alaska.
 Because Canadian labor costs are much lower than those of American vessels, the bill would result in driving American passen- ger ships from the Alaska trade, Zeusler wrote.
 He outlined the long-established national policy of excluding for eign ships from participating in coastal trade; sketched the war time service of the Aleska Lines under government control; and pointed to their efforts to re-estab- fish themselves on a compensatory

Reds Continue To
 Make Spurious Wartime Charges

MOSCOW, (P)-Russia has ac- cused the United States and Bri- tain of conducting secret talks for separate peace with Germany in the middle of World War II.
 The Soviet Union made the charge last night in the fourth in stallment of its reply to U. S. state department disclosures of docu- ments regarding Russian-German relations.
 A statement said Allen w. Dull les, brother of John Foster Dull les, represented the U. s. in talks with a German spokesman in 1922 which touched on the question of concluding a separate peace with Germany.
 It also charged that the son of Lord Beaverbrook, a British pub fisher, represented Britain in sim liar peace talks with a German representative in September, 1941.
 The statement further accused Britain and France of seeking to start war with the Soviet Union in 1940 instead of fighting Germany.
 (Allen Welsh Dulles, former chief of the U. s. office of strate- gic services in Europe worked with underground forces seeking to overthrow Hitler from 1922 on.
 He wrote book called Ger many's Underground" It was pub lished last April.
 Dulles also arranged for the surrender of the German armies in Italy. Later he helped prepare the case against the Nazis at Nuernberg0

Third Party First In Bronx Election

NEW YORK, (P)-The smash ing, unexpected triumph of Henry A. Wallace-backed Ameri- can Labor party candidate in special Bronx Congressional cleo ton handed Democratic party leaders a severe jolt today.
 Third party strategists, on the other hand, were elated. Wallace himself, in Tampa, Fla, on speaking tour, declared: "This proves that the so-called third party can become the first party in l948."
 Leo Isacson, the ALP nominee, captured yesterdays 24th District contest easily by rolling up more votes than his three opponents combined.
 The victory, and especially its size, was amazing to political ob- servers who had eyed the election closely for a hint as to Presiden- tial candidate Wallace's power to win votes in this national cam paign year. The Democratic can didate was expected to win hand fly, since the 24th District has sent members of that party to Congress for years.
 Isacson, a 38-year-old attor- ney who will become the second ALP member of Congress, won 22,697 votes. Karl Trooper, Demo- crat, got 12,578; Dean Alfange, Liberal party, 3,840; and Joseph de Nigris, Republican, 1,482.
 The District is in the stronghold of Edward J. Flynn, Bronx county Democratic leader and former party chairman, who put his or ganizations solidly behind Prop per.
 Mayor William O'Dwyer and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke in the district for the Democratic candidate.

See Stalin Author Of Red Charges

MOSCOW, (P) - Experienced observers of the Moscow scene professed today their belief that the hand of Prime Minister Stalir definitely can be detected in au- thorship of recent Soviet accusa- tions against the western powers
 They said the tone particularly of the fourth and last section of the Soviet information bureaus statement entitled 'falsifiers of history" was highly authoritative This section, they added, seemed to show decided traces of the phraseology usually associa e d with Stalin.
 Stalin has been exceptionally busy since he returned to Moscow in December from his vacation. The Soviet leader, who celebrated his 68th birthday Dec. 21, has ap- peared in public twice and re- ceived foreign guests five times in the past month.
 He has been seen with more ire quency than usual by foreigners. They have reported him in excell- ent health.

 In a special message to the leg islators, MT. Truman said that the aid would be conditioned on Chi mas taking adequate measures to achieve economic stability and recovery"
 The help would begin when Congress voted it and would con- tinue until June 30, 1949-roughly a one-year program.
 MT. Truman said the economic situation in China now is getting worse in spite of the aid the United States has given the Chi nese in the past.
 The Chinese government anC people, he said, "are still laboring under the double and inter-relateC burden of civil war and a rapidly deteriorating economy"

FIRE DESTROYS BASE MOTOR POOL

A disastrous fire at the motor pool on the Nome Air Base last Sunday evening destroyed about six cars including a command car and other army equipment, it is reported. The building was total loss due to the fact so much gas and oil made it impossible to check the fire. It is understood that the bus narowwly escaped destruction which is fortunate as transporta- ton would have been seriously handicapped.
