charges Of star chamber proceed
ings today. The occasion was the
start of closed door hearings on
extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act.
The l4-year-old law runs out

dure."
But the Californian. who said the
subject had been thoroughly ex-
plored at previous hearings and
there's no time for public hearings
now" retorted:
IF anybody in the world is mas
ter of the star chamber it is those
who handle our trade agreements.
Everything they do is done in abSo-
lutte secrecy.
We're going to do the best We
can in spite of the interference and
lack of cooperation by the State
Department"
Mr.. Gearhart set May Is as the
deadline for House passage of some
form of extension legislation.
Some Republicans have talked Of
requiring congressional approval be.
fore future tariff-cutting agree
ments can be put into effect. TIE
administration long has opposed
such a provision on the grounds
that 1t would nullify the effect Of
the law
Witnesses summoned for todav's
hearing include Matthew Vol, 1ep-
resenting the American Federation
of Labor; E. l.. Adams. professor of
farm management, University of
California. and Albert Goss, II aSter

COP. Rebels 10 Meet
Tonight on Strategy
Against Organization

Antiorganization Republicans will
hold private meeting tonight to
decide whether to seek a court re-
straining order against the sched-
uled meeting on Friday of the newly
elected COP precinct delegates.
Paul j. Foley, leader of the what
he calls the anti Wilkes Colladay- =
McGarraghy machine" group, said
today his hackers have captured
"a strong minority Of the 43 pre-
met posts in the elections which
ended last Friday.
The regular leadership, however,
contends the Foley group won no
more than four or five precinct
elections. James c. Wilkes is the
District chairman, E. F.. Colladay,
national committeeman, and Joseph
C. McGarraghy, treasurer.
The 43 precinct delegates are due
to meet Friday to name another
43 delegates-at-large to the State
convention, scheduled for May 13.
This State convention will name
the Districts three delegates to the
Republican National Convention at
Philadelphia in June.
Mr.. Foley also has threatened to
hold a rump convention and name
his own groups trio of delegates
to the national meeting.
In statement today, the in
surgent leader described the cleo
ton of the regular organization
precinct delegates as follows:
"Typically, trusted friend of the
Wilkes Nc cGarraghy machine was
appointed to swing the election in
each precinct. He was empowered
to take late registrations but his
identity was not divulged except
to party friends until the last
minute.
Usually registrants in each pre-
cinct were not notified of his
identity or of the meeting place
until the afternoon mail of the
day of the meeting. He typically
held farce meeting in his home
or cellar, invited his friends, regis
tered them and. since the bona
fide registrants were maneuvered
out of attending, he, by some
strange reason, was elected dele
gate"

MOSCOW. May 3.-The Russian

allegedly signed by 80 American
writers which criticized President
Truman and American policies.
This is described as an answer to
an open letter published last year
by the Literary Gazette and signed
by Ilya Ehrenburg and other Soviet
writer's. 1t asked:
On whose side are you-Ameri-
can masters of culture?"
The American reply as printed
here said:
Your letter signifies to us that
you have not been misled by the
blank cartridges of our press and

as the voice of America.

our country do not want to convert

of American intellectuals. aass-4E
"A growing support Of Henry A.
Wallace shows American intellec-
tuals remember their history" it
said.
Our capitalists keenly understand
the power Of culture. They want
to tell us what to say in defense of

Our President is assuming the
role of art critic. He is insulting
artists. At a Washington dinner
Wall Street gourmands admired

I'VE know artists are regarded
differently in your country where
they are, surrounded with the love
of millions of people, where they are
given the means to fulfill their pub
lie duty. We want to share this duty
with you.
We hope your letter and our
reply will serve as the inception of
fertile contact between us, will
enable us to exchange ideas and to
speak Jointly against the voice OF

PHS Seniors Prep
 For Achievement Tests

Senior students of Palmer high school are sharpening wits and doing mental acrobatics this week in preparation for the Sones-Harry high school achieve ment tests they will take soon. The tests will be given on Feb. II. |.
 These achievement tests are to be given to all senior high school students in Alaska, Carl She'll ing, superintendent of schools, explained. It is a part of the pro- gram of the territorial depart ment of education, which is seek ing to determine the scholastic achievement of Alaska's pupils.
 Test results probably will have an important bearing on the ter ritory's future educational pol icies, MT. Smelling said. How ever, contrary to student opinion here, they will have no actual bearing on graduation for Pal mer's seniors. Standards for graduation are determined by the analysis of the students ac- tual achievement during the four years of high school work.
