ARCTIC VALLEY IS CLAIMED AS
 GARDEN SPOT

NOME. Alaska, Oct. 16.-lR-An isolated valley 200 miles below the Arctic Circle has teen pictured as capable of producing high per- oentage of the food needed by AL askan communities and Army bases along l,500 miles of Boring Sea coastline
 Ralph Browne said yesterday all varieties of vegetables can ee grown in the fertile Unaiakleet valley, 200 miles southeast of Nome.
 Excellent crops have been grown in the Eskimo village of Unalakleet, he said.> Cattle and goats also were reared there successfully in experi- ments several years ago, Browne added
 The official said he was advised ty Stelnan Ivanoff, U. s. Commts- sioner at the Eskimo village, that construction of 20 miles of road would tap the valley.
 Browne said small cannery also could be operated profitably at the village, handling extremely heavy runs of pink, silver and chum sal p.on in the Unalakleet river.

Pfoeser Denies Draft Act
Plan 10 Curb Steel Firms

The Governments steel ALLEGATION
authority in the new Draft Act is
only to help small business get a
share of defense contracts and is
not an opening wedge to return our
economy to across-the-board con-
troll" of the industry, Representative
Ploeser, Republican, of Missouri said
today.
The congressman, as chairman of
the House Small Business Commit
tee, sponsored the ALLEGATION amend
ment which was written into the
Draft Act last week He made the
clarifying statement today in a
letter to Defense Secretary For
restal.
There has been criticism of the
act, chiefly among industry leaders
and steel consumers, that the alloca-

would bring back wartime controls.

Dental years have always led up a
blind alley in both parties.
No Law to Govern Voting.
The primary is strictly a party
affair in the District for, unlike
the States, there is no law to gov
ern or regulate the voting. In both
the Republican primary last month
and the present Democratic one
dissident groups challenging the
regular organizations have taken
court action.
In the Democratic case the court
fight was by a group backed by the
liberal, anti-Communist Americans
for Democratic Action. The group
finally wound up with four of its
members among the IL names on the
list of candidates for convention
delegate. Each will have a half
vote. Six of the % candidates for
the Central Committee also are
backed by ADA and again there is
no contest.
Both the ADA and the Veterans
for Eisenhower are asking voters
today to bind the delegates to the
presidential preference choice until
a majority of the II local delegates
decide to switch. This presumably
would cover at least the first con-
vention ballot. Mr.. Hildreth is a
Truman supporter, while the ADA
group would prefer either Gen
Eisenhower or Supreme Court JUS

Wallace Says Pafy's Task
Is 10 Set Americans Free
BY the Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N. H., June 28.-
Henry A. Wallace says the major
task of his New Party is to ''set
Americans free to control their owr
destiny in world of peace and in.
ternational brotherhood"
Mr. Wallace, making a campaign
tour of New England. was scheduled
to address an outdoor rally and tc
meet with labor leaders and minis
ters today. -
He told 200 delegates to the found
ing convention of the New Hamp-
shire Progressive Party yesterday
that "the fact that no existing po-
litical party is attempting to carry
out program to set the people free
is justification for forming the new
party
"On the success of the New Party
movement depends the future OF
our beloved country and Of the whole
world which must have peace OF
must surely perish" he asserted
He criticized the contention that
increased military expenditures are
justified by the Russian bogey,'
which he said portrays the Soviet
Union "as an Unsuitable aggressor
against which We must arm to the
teeth to defend ourselves"
But if any one points out that
Russian aggression is nonsense" the
presidential candidate added, "he is
labeled as subversive, Red, Russian
agent or a traitor"

Firemen Seek 10 Cut Gap
lin Blazing 2.MiIe Bridge
By the Associated Press

HENDERSON POINT, Miss. June
28.-Fire fighters attempted to rip
firebreak in the Bay st. Louis
Bridge early today after an uncon-
trolled blaze burned one-fourth OF
the two-mile-long span.
Preparations were made to dyna-
mite the structure to check the
flames from spreading, if other
methods failed.
The fire, of undetermined origin
broke out about $50 pm. last
night on the structure, which is
located on Highway 80, the main
route of Mississippi Gulf Coast
travel. The bridge links Bay St
Louis with Henderson Point.
Shortly after the blaze was dis
covered, the drawbridge-1A miles
from the Bay st. Louis side-was
raised. A special fire brigade kept
that portion of the span wetted
down.
The burning Henderson Point
portion of the structure, some y
of a mile long, was famed by q
light but steady southerly to south
westerly wind.

Louis, New Orleans or westward
points were forced to make 80 tc

Greece 5purns Offer
To Restore Diplomatic
Ties, BuIgars Charge
By the Associated Press

The Bulgarian government
today accused Greece of rebuff :
ing it's offer to talk over a re-
newal of diplomatic relations
which were severed seven years
ago.
DR.. Nissim Mevorah, Bulgarian
Minister to the United States, for
mally notified the United Nations
that his proposed negotiations here
with the Greek Ambassador had
collapsed and that further talks
would be useless.
The two Balkan nations have had
no diplomatic relations since April,
1941, when German troops invaded
Greece from Bulgaria.
Letter Sent to Lie.
In a letter to U. N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie, the Bulgarian
diplomat said the talks ended after
the first meeting June 16 when
Greek Ambassador Vassili Den
dramis refused to discuss basic diff
ferences between the two countries
before agreeing to restoration of
diplomatic relations.
The Bulgarian government
wanted to talk over such things as
its desire for Greek pledge to re-
spect the present frontiers of Bull
garia. The Greek envoy was rep
resented as taking the position that
the Washington talks should be
restricted to a discussion of the
question of diplomatic relations.
In his letter to the United Nations,
DR.. Meyorah said:
THE Greek government may or
may not accept our views, but I feel
that it should not reject proposal
to discuss them. BY this refusal
the Greek government clearly de-
clines our offer to negotiate, which
indicates that the good will of the
Bulgarian government is not recip-
rocated'
No Surprise to U. S.
The Bulgarian letter, disclosed in
an interview, came as no surprise to
the State Department, which has
regarded the Bulgarian offer more
as a Russian-inspired propaganda
move than sincere effort to reach
an understanding with Greece.
Celebrating on his letter, the Bull
garian minister deplored what he
called a lack of understanding OF
mis- country by Americans. He
blamed this in part on newspapers
in the United States which he said
present only the bad side" of Bull
garia.
"Our country is generally refer
red to as a Russian satellite" he
said, "or a country behind the iron
curtain The press gives the Ameri-
can people, who are basically demo-
cratic, no chance to learn OF the
constructive side of our country"

Then began the last step in the

tions. The money is in addition to

is necessary.
