ERMA AXBERG BURNS
 TO DEATH IN FIRE WHICH
 DESTROYS TELLER HOME

Erma Axberg. IT, granddaughter of Otto Teller, Sr., burned to death arly last Wednesday morning in a fire which destroyed the Teller home. Other persons in the house narrowly escaped with their lives, and Mrs. John Teller, who jumped from a flaming second-stroy win dow. Is still in Bishop Rowe hos pital where she was taken to be treated for burns.
 ! Otto Teller ST.. who was also taken to the hospital, was released yesterday. He suffered a cut hand and arm.
 Telling of the tragedy which took his granddsughter's life, MT. Teller said at about a. m, he had made a lunch of coca and a sand wich. as was his habit, before go- ing to bed.
 ''I sat in the kitchen and ate it" MT. Teller said. rand everything was fine"
 He said he then went to bed in downstairs bedroom and two hours later awoke to find the room filled with smoke.
 The first thing I did was to yell 'fire!' as loud as could. The smoke was so thick I couldn't see my shoes right beside the bed" MT. Teller said he aroused his son, Otto, sleeping on a couch in the living room and then he nan upstairs to waken his grand daughter and daughter in law, Mrs. John Teller.
 "I heard Erma call Grandpa. Grandpa!' and I thought she was coming. Just then the whole place exploded" Mir. Teller said there were flames in every part of the house at once. I ran outside to get a ladder so the girls could get down, but I didn't have time. When 1 got around to the window Caroline (Mrs. Feller) was lean ing out the window and her clothes were a mass of flames. I told her to jump, and leaned over in order to break her fall with my back. Then I waited for Erma but she didn't come. I had thought she was rigLt behind Caroline"
 It was later determined that Err ma must have become confused in the flame-filled house and gone back into the rear of the house instead of the front. Her body was found in a rear bedroom face down on the floor. She had wrapped bedding around her head, evidently to protect herself from the flames and smoke.
 Cause of the fire was said to have been from a defective stow which filled the house with fumes which later exploded.
 Funeral services for Erma will be held from the Presbyterian church on arrival of Christine Eel Ter, with the Rev. c. c. Crowell officiating.
 Erma was born in Wrangell on December 8, and would have been IS years old on her next birthday.
 She attended school here and al- so attended Sheldon Jackson school at Sitka She Is survived by half-brother and half-sister. Walter and Helen John at Wran- gell Institute, besides her grand father and his family, Otto, John, Tommy and Christine Teller.
 Christine Teller 1 expected to arrive here by plane today from Seattle where she has been the past month.
 Burial will take place at Wran- gell Memorial Cemetery.

AFL Unions Breaks
 Speed Limit-In Air

SAN FRANCISCO-CFP) The Intl Union of Operating Engineers (AFL) believes in speed. Last year the San Francisco local bought its own plane, a Emile a-minute Cessna. It was used extensively. by Pres. Pat Clancy, licensed pilot, to handle business in the locals wide territory.
 Now the union has sold the Cessna and come up with a 3-mile-a-minute Beechcraft to get around that much faster. Originally an army bomber, the plane has been reequipped for peaceful union business with all the latest fittings, including a coffee bar.
 In the past year, other officials have learned to fly. Not only do they save time, but transportation costs have been cut below commercial airline costs. If the union ever decides to sell, Clancy pointed out, it could make a 33% profit on the plane at current prices.

 M all Loaded Against Labor

WASHINGTON - CPD Mem berS of Congress need some counter balancing mail from the ordinary peo- pie who work for a living and make up the majority of the population, ii appears from a survey of anti-demo- cratic and special interest propaganda coming into one congressman'S office
 In sample load covering a few days, this representative received the following, among others:
 The text of an Upton Close radio script, blasting Gen. Eisenhower. Sen. Vandenberg, Pres. Truman and Wallace as ''Marxist dupes'' mailed ''with the compliments of Pres. W. C. Black of the Jenkins Petroleum Process Co.,, Chicago
 A news sheet printed by the Span lsh Embassy, urging inclusion ot Franco Spain in the Marshall plan and the United Nations.
 A peep-sheet from Prentice Hall publishers, giving the ins and outs oi labor law under the Taft-Hartley act tor the benefit of employers.
 Notice of forthcoming radio address on the Marshall plan by Merwin K. Hart, fascist-minded spokesman for the Natl. Economic Council.
 Appeals for an end to rent control for tax reduction on business, for pro- tective tariffs on certain goods, etc.
 An appeal by the steel industry against a steel allocation program under the Marshall plan.
 With congressman getting this stuff every day in their mail, per. haps labor, farmers, housewives and people named Doakes find their ideas have difficulty getting the attention of their spokesmen in Congress. More mail from the peo. ple's side is the answer.

Ickes Declares Truman Should Quit, Aid Party

Washington (LPA)- The ''Old Curmudgeon'' who President Tru- man invited to retire when he op- posed the nomination of specula- tor Edwin Pauley to be Secretary of the Navy, told his ex-boss last week that it was time that he, too, moved over. Harold L. Ickes, FDR's Interior Secretary, wrote in his syndicated column that Harry Truman can't be reelected, and if the Democrats are to win they must find another candidate.
 lckes pointed out that his old enemy Boss" Ed Flynn, Democratic leader ln the Bronx, was thoroughly trounced two weeks ago by Henry Wallace's candidate, Leo Isacson. Even the ef- forts of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and New York's Mayor William O'Dwyer couldn't elect a candidate pledged to President Truman's SUD- port, the Ick said.
 ''The real issue in this nominal ly Democratic district was Tru- man," Ickes wrote. ''From letters that have come to me from all parts of the country | have been aware of the dissatisfaction due to the weak and vacillating admin istratiOn of President Truman. He cannot help it that he is an acci- dental President, but he could help making one accidental decision af- ter another"
 It is difficult for the people to un- derstand," wrote the man who served Roosevelt as Secretary of the Interior for four terms, "why SO many high places in the government that were formerly occupied by competent Roose- welt appointees should be manned, all most overnight, with men from Wall Street and the armed forces"
 Harold Ickes concluded: ''The result in this New York district points a way to MT. Truman. and it is towards the exit. He owes it to his party, which has done so much for him, to give it at least a fight ing chance next November

Do You Know Propaganda When You See It?

Editor's Note: We present. belo7O are article on brobaganda tech
 niqneS It iS based on dn inter-
 7le7O 9Tth Dr. Clyde K. Miller,
 leading brobagandG authority, and
 on hiS recent book, ProPdganda:
 Ho1O and Why It Works.
 Most people won't eat poison. Neither would Fred Kelly's dog, whose story was told to Federated Press by Dr. Clyde R. Miller, asso- ciate professor of education at Co. lumbia University Teachers Col lege and founder of the Institute for Propaganda Analysis.
 Miller met Ke1ly's dog. Shep, at a dinner party. Shep got hungry and Kelly tossed him a piece of meat. Just as Shep started to eat, Kelly yelled "PoiSon" and Shep dropped the meat just like any human would.
 LOOK FOR FACTS
 The meat, of course. was not poison but the word had bad as- sOciation for Shep, whose master had developed in him an automatic reaction to the word by the simple process of conditioning. Over a period of time, whenever Shep started to eat, Kelly took the food from his mouth, rapped him over the muzzle and said: ''Poison." Af- ter the 67th time all Kelly had to do was say ''Poison'' and Shep, as- sociating the word with discomfort, dropped the meat.
 Today, Miller explained. millions of people are reacting just like Shep to Poison words like union, strike, un- American, dictator, red, iron curtain

Good Pay Brings
 Better Type Mayor

PORTLAND, Ore.-(FP)- The Portland Central Labor Council is probably the only labor body to go on record for pay raise for city ad- ministrators. A resolution calling for a $4 OOO-a-year increase for the mayor and $2,50O increase for city council men as adopted by the AFL body at the suggestion of Local 43, Intl. Assn. of Firefghters.
 The action was taken in the hope that "more adequate salary might attract higher type of personnel" {" We are indorsing higher salaries for the positions, not for the men now in those positions" said spokesman for the smoke-eaters, long at 1oggerheads with the mayor over their own salaries.

Prompt Action
 On Palestine Asked By AFL

Washington, D .C.-AFL President William Green this week demanded that the United Nations carry out its decision for the partition of Palestine ''even though 1t may be necessary to resort to force to do so."
 In a letter to President Truman. MT. Green also urged that the em- bargo on the shipment of arms to the Middle East be lifted so that the Jews in Palestine who are fight ing to uphold the LIN decision may defend themselves.
 The exigencies of the situation call for prompt action," MT. Green said in his letter to President Truman. Delay which would follow postpone ment of action would encourage war fare in Palestine and result in fur ther loss in life"
 ''MEET CHALLENGE"
 MT. Green insisted that the cha1- lenge to the LIN by the Arab States must be met effectively and immedi- ately. Excerpts from his letter to President Truman follow:
 "The Goth Annual Convention of the American Federation of Labor unanimously endorsed the decision of the United Nations to partition Pal estine and expressed commendation of the government of the United States for its attitude toward this important question.
 ''Since the acceptance and ap- prOval of the report of the United Nations Committee in favor of a Jewish Homeland in Palestine, the Arab States have challenged the United Nations to put the decision into effect. At this moment, they are engaged in deadly warfare against the Jewish people in Pales- tine.
 This challenge made by the Arabs must be met by the United Nations. The United Nations cannot surrender to a dissenting Arab group or to the Arab nations. Our own government measured up to the high standard it has always established and main tanned when it approved the commit tees report to partition Palestine. We must now implement that decision.
 "The United Nations, of which our government is part, must formulate the policy and must take steps to carry that policy into effect even though it may be necessary to resort to force in order to do so. earnestly hope and trust that our government will stand uncOmpro- missing in support of such a policy"

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

Congratulations to the Yale stu dents and their girl friends who picketed Hof-Brau Haus Friday night before the Yale prom. Their support to Local 4O4, Hotel and Restaurant Employees, was ex- tremely gratifying, and shows that every segment of the community is supporting the union in its just struggle for decent wages and working conditions.
 The magazine ''Business Week. finds significant lesson for em. ployers in the results of a strike election just held at the Murray Corporation of America, big auto parts manufacturers in Michigan.
 At issue was the discharge by the company of two union stewards. When union officials failed to SC. cure reinstatement of the stewards. they threatened to recommend a strike. The company then de- manded secret strike poll among the employees under the terms of Michigan's new anti-labor law. It figured that the workers wouIdn' t back up the leaders.
 The results were an eye-Opener. In an election conducted by a state board, the employees voted 4.555 to 724 in favor of strike if the com pany didn't settle. This showed. Business Week. reminded em. plOyers, that ''rank-and-fiIe mem bers of a union will almost always back up their officials in negotia- tions.'
 Gov. Fielding Wright of Missis sippi says there's no need for an anti-lynch law in the south.
 'We don't lynch people down here," he said.
 This should be news to a mum. Der of dead Negroes.
 Not Interested In Truth: The Saturday EUening Post is not inter. ested in the truth as to Iabor's view. point respecting the Taft-Hartley law. A few weeks ago an article ap. peared in the Post, The Truth About the Taft-HartIey Act, writ. ten by Max Swiger, law partner of Ohio millionaire Senator Taft. President William Green of the AFL wrote a letter suggesting that the publication might also be in. terested in publishing labor's side of the story. But the POst's editor. Benn Hibbs, wrote sarcasticalIy and brusquely that the Post is not a forum" and that Eve frankly take sides. s."-Potters Herald, AFL.
