Arctic IndOctrina'n School Closes Till Next Winter

After a successful winter sea- son of indoctrinating military and civilian personnel in the principles of arctic survival, the Arctic h. doctrination School is conducting the final class of the current sea- son. The school, commanded by Captain Harold L. Strong, an old timer in the arctic, opened on August 15, 1947. Since that time, approximately GOA students of military and civilian status have for five days, faced the severest arctic conditions, learning the cardinal rules of survival under arctic conditions.
 The school is staffed with sur vival experts-whites who have lived in the outdoors most of their life and, who during the recent war learned much with Uncle Sam's fighting troops in the us- age of modern equipment. Natives are utilized for their inherent cap abilities. The combination, under the command of Captain Strong, did much to aid and maintain the degree of success which is already established by the approval of high ranking officials visiting the school.
 During the winter course of training, the school was attended by representatives of all arms and services of the US. and also, by a number of Canadian Air Force representatives. Major General Atkinson, commanding general of the Alaskan Air Command, was the only high-ranking officer at tending the full course, however the school was visited by Generals Spaatz, Twining, Kimball, Ever est, Tartarge, Gaffney and Llew- elyn. Admirals Montgomery and Titus represented the naval forces.

Transport Crashes After Collision With Russ Fighter

BERLIN, -(P)-A British trans port plane crashed in flames today after colliding with a Russian fighter craft, British authorities announced. The British plane, a Viking, carried 10 passengers and four creWmen.
 RAF officers said all II were killed. Two of the passengers were understood to be Americans.
 The Russian fighter also was wrecked.
 The transport, belonging to the British European AirWays, crashed as it was about to make landing after a flight from London.
 Both dropped near the Spandau International Prison, which holds the Nuremberg war crimes trial defendants who drew penitentiary terms. It is on the edge of Ser lin.
 There have been frequent ru- mors in Berlin that Soviet fighters were diving on American and British planes, but there was not immediate indication whether this was true today.
 In London, the airline said the crash occurred after the Russian fighter flew across the transports nose.
 German police reported the fighter fell into the Heerstrasse, a main street in the British sector of Berlin, and the Russian pilot was killed.
 This incident came only a few hours after an apparent easing in the East-West tension that has gripped Berlin several days. Brit ish authorities today accepted a Soviet offer to talk over the dead lock on Russian restrictions on railroad traffic, and suggested a full four-poWer meeting.
 The United States had previous ly had accepted a Russian pro- posal for discussion of the re- strictions, which have harassed the movement of rail traffic be- tween Berlin and the Western Al lies zone of occupation.
 
 The plane crash seemed cer- tain to renew tension in Berlin.

SCREWBAlL HIT
 OF COMEDY E
 CApIT0L'5 BILL

1 One of the funniest, hilarious and outrageous romantic comedies Her
 Husbands Affairs" is now showing
 at the Capitol Theatre.
 If there is anything said against this new screwball hit which pokes fun at the advertising business it is that the situations are so riotouS, the brittle lines so consistently rib tickling that much of the dialogue is apt to be lost in the continuous
 roar of the audiences guffaws Now, that's hardly a criticism at all, but it's the only one for this picture which is tops in performances, writ ing and direction.
 Heading the well-chosen cast of the s. Sylvan Simon production are
 Lucille Ball and Franchot Tone.
 The two stars play husband and
 wife team and together, they form the scrappiest and screwiest duo the screen has presented for some time.
 Franchot is a high-pressure ad ex- ecutive who gets his brightest ideas
 at five o'clock in the morning; while Lucille plays the perfect help-mate
 who manages to save her genius spouse when his terrific ideas back fire.
 Edward Horton, as Franchot's be- wildered boss; Mikhail Rasumny, portraying a delightfully."- eccentric inventor, creator of a miracle" cream to do away with shaving for
 ever and Gene Lockhart, aS a
 shaving cream tycoon who is almost
 ruined when he decides to back the
 miracle preparation, round out
 the featured roles.

GENERAL ELECTRIC
PUT Lowered PRICES
AHEAD OF Other THINGS

This applies to the man who brings home a weekly
pay check, to the man with a little savings in the bank
or a life insurance policy, and to companies that have
to build new plants and buy new machines to fill future
needs and provide future jobs.
Initiation is a sinister thing. 1t steals up on a country
and it's economy in a gradually accelerating two-step
of prices and wages-each trying to get one step ahead
of the other-and there is no red line to show when the
danger point has been reached.
Initiation is like a fire. Once it gets well under way, it
can never be checked until everything is destroyed.
Self-restraint by industries and individuals
the best check
You as an individual can do most by buying less and
saving more-thus avoiding bidding up the prices for
scarce goods. Business and industry can do much by
lowering prices whenever and wherever possible
voluntarily.
General Electric put lowered prices ahead of other
things because we believe it is a step towards licking
imitation.

General Electric lowered prices because we wanted to
do our part 10 stop the present spiral of imitation.
GeneDl Electric lowered prices on electrical appli-
ances in greatest demand because that is where low
erred prices on General Electric products will do tie
most good and have the greatest effect.
General Electric lowered prices regardless of the fact
that G-E profits are not high-are not at present levels
high enough.
We did this because we know that in the long run
General Electric can prosper only as the people of this
country prosper. We believe that producing more goods
for more people at less cost IL the soundest way of running
a business. And we feel that imitation in this country has
reached a dangerous Ievel-for the wage Garner. for the

As money buys less and less. your savings lose their
