DAVID TEWKESBURY OF NEW ALASKA ALMANAC
 E VISITING IN JUNEAU

David Tewkesbury, publisher of the 1o47 Alaska Business Directory and former Juneau resident, arrived here yesterday in connection with his firms new publication, the AL aska Almanac.
 More than 500 pages of factual in- formation will comprise the Alaska Almanac with hundreds of illus trations depicting various aspects of the Territorial scene. The new took will also include a revised edi- ten of the business directory.
 Juneau, and other leading Alaska communities, will be featured pie torially with photographs of princi- pal Juneau business firms and To- cal scenic points. All Juneau pictures will be furnished especially for the new publication ty commercial photographer J. Malcolm Creamy.
 Interest in Alaska by national business leaders has reached a fever pitch, according to the visiting pub lister Juneau and Southeast AL aska are the objects of special con Icen in view of the nations con cern in the pulp paper problem in this section.
 Sales Of our directory-7, 200 to date indicate the importance of Alaskan trade to leading national inms,' Tewkesbury said. Tt was al the suggestion of many of them that we dd Q new section to our book, 8 classified directory of reliable business concerns in continental U. S. actively interested in business with Ala .kans. Such a section should be of great value to Alaskan busi- ness men who are seeking new sources for goods they must inn port
 The tourist industry is included as the single most potential econ omic development in the Territorys development, in the opinion of the Alaskan book publisher who adds that tomorrows tourist will come north as a stopover visitor, with the desire to hunt, fish, and venture farther afield with his camera. To meet this phase of interest, his new publication will include an Alaska Travel Guide for business and vaca- ion travellers, detailing tours, modes of travel, accommodations, scenic ttractions, entertainment places, and complete hunting and fishing information.
 The Alaska Almanac is scheduled to go on sale nationally May 25.

Hope for the Fall Guy
Forecast of a record crop has
brought anticipatory tears to the eyes
Of hay fever sufferers. For ideal grow
ing conditions which make possible
a big corn crop also make possible a
bumper yield of ragweed. And rag
weed pollen is the chief irritant in the
noses of millions of victims.
Thus far there has been little rag
weed floating about in the air. It will
start to increase soon, however. The
peak will come a little after Labor
Day, allergy experts say. Then it will
decrease gradually-until frost comes.
Anti-histamine drugs, brought out
in recent years, will bring relief to
many sufferers.
Ordinarily, ragweed pollen irritates
membranes of sensitive noses. Then
the histamine flows. Sneezes. itching
noses and Watery eyes result. The new
anti-histamine drugs act as a neutral
izer, multiplying irritation by the pollen.

PARIS: East-West Showdown in the U.N?

NHE French are preparing to
i be hosts in the grand manner
next month when Paris becomes
the political capital of the world
with cOnvening of the United Ma
tiOns General Assembly.
The government is mOdernizing the
ornate Palais Chaillet to serve as con-
ference headquarters. Under direction
of Jacques Carlu, Frances foremost
architect, great holes have been CHS
eled in the palaces marble walls. BY
September 81, when the first dele
gates arrive, banks Of high speed ele-
vatOrs will be in operation. 1t will be
a Gallo answer to claims that their
great buildings are beautiful but inn
practical.
The fountains of the 1887 World
Fair will bloom again under vari-
cOlored lights. The boulevards will be
festOoned with flowers brought in
daily from the countryside. There
will be nightly symphonic concerts.
Models wearing chic Paris fashions
will be in evidence at every diplo-
matte social function.
Bigger Delegations
The So countries in the United Ma.
tions are expected to send larger
delegations to Paris than to any pre-
vious international conference. Most
nations expect to send a corps of adj
visers and technical experts, many of
whom will bring their families.
One factor is the favorable none
tary exchange. Money will go further
in Paris than it did in New York.
Another factor is distance. Many
small European countries which were
sparsely represented at Lake Success
will send full delegations to Paris.
European newspapers also plan heavy
coverage with full staffs.
The French are aware of the senti-
ment among some U.N. delegates that
Milford chronicle., 1948-08-27

be a concerted effort by the smaller
European nations to shift the world
capital to the continent. The French
do not intend to do anything to i'm
pede those efforts.
Council Marks Time
Meanwhile, the Security Council in
New York reached the stage where
little further progress can be ex-
peCted on major issues until Moscow
and Washington reach an agreement.
The council is idling along, keep
ing a close watch on the big power
talks over the Berlin situation. It is
generally conceded that the impact
of the Kremlin conferences extends
beyond the immediate German prob
lem.
If the Moscow talks fail, it may
pOrtend a major showdown at Paris.
Basic Differences
The futility of endless debate at
Lake Success under present condi-
tiOns is evident in the handling of
plans for atomic energy controls and
a world police force. Both are vital if
the peace organization is to be more
than hollow shell. But after nearly
three years, delegates still are stalled
by basic differences between the us.
and Russia.
The council openly admitted failure
in the atomic talks and threw the
problem to the assembly with the
hope that in the interim the overall
international picture will brighten.
On the international police force
issue, the council quietly has pigeon
hOled the continued stalemate" re-
port of its military staff committee.
While entertaining little hope OF. &C.

Politics &c
Economics

DRESIDENT TRUMAN has
1 thrown a one-two punch at his
old sparring partner, the Both
Congress, which he once termed
"One of the worst in history"
In his annual mid-year budget
review, the President forecast an op.
Grating deficit of S1,545, 100000 for
the current fiscal year and blamed it
on the Republican tax cut. Next day
he signed the credit curb bill passed
by Congress but accused lawmakers
of inviting economic collapse" by re-
fusing to take stronger steps to check
rising prices.
Denouncing COP leaders for failing
to consider what he called his "bal-
anced anti-inhation program" Mr..
Truman claimed they were serving
special privilege rather than welfare
of the whole nation. The nation
should not fight imitation, he said, by
putting the average American family
through the wringer."
Republican Answer
Republicans attacked the Presi-
dents budget estimate as campaign
device. Sen. Eugene D. fAIillikin (R-
Colo), chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, said the President had
scrambled figures" to conceal a
$6,O9O,OOO,O0O surplus and that, bar
ring unforeseen DEVELOPMENTS. there
would be no deficit.
Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry of Nebras-
ka, the Senate's Republican whip,
characterized Mr.. Truman's imitation
statement as sheer nonsense" He
said:
"The President is still trying to fool
the people by telling them that if he
were granted more power to shove
people around he would make every>
body prosperous and happy"
Campaign Plens
Gov. Earl Warren, back in California
after two-day strategy conference in
New York with Gov. Dewey, the Re-
publican presidential nominee, said
the top campaign issues would be re-
sponsibility for high prices and peace
with honor"
The President left Washington Fri.
day for a nine-day cruise on the Pres:-
dental yacht to rest and work on
plans for his countrywide campaign.
Mr.. Truman will make his first "out-
right campaign speech Labor Day in
Detroit. Governors Dewey and War
rem will open their coast to coast
stumping tours after that.

PsYchiofrisfs for Peuce


Scientists from 10 countries meeting

The Preparatory Commission for

Health says that men long have ac-

Aerial

New Long-Rdnge Record
Ever since the war, the Strategic
Air Command, directed by Gen.
George c. Kenney, has been working
to extend the range of the B-29 Super
fortress while the new and longer
range bombers such as the B-36 and
B-50 are being developed. The B-5O
is a modification of the B-29 with
larger engines.
This week the Strategic Air Com
mand disclosed that B-29 has flown
a simulated bombing mission of 5,729
miles-a new record, and about 2,7OO
miles farther than the usual range of
B-29s during the war.
The secret of extended range is
called 'Cruise control" This refers to
new methods of using power so as to
avoid waste, and to different mixtures
of fuel and air.

oessed its probe into Communist spy
ing for three weeks. J. Parnell
Thomas, the committee chairman,
said he had reports Of "still another
espionage ring" not yet mentioned in
the hearings.
Mr.. Truman twice said the hearings
were a "red herring" intended to take
the heat of the record Of what he
called the "do nothing" Congress.
Thomas retorted that evidence barred
by his committee can't be dismissed
by ''red herring charges, even if they
come from the President Of the
United States"
Moscow Charges U. s. Spy
Perhaps stung by revelations at the
Washington hearings, Moscow charged
that u S. naval attache in Moscow
had been sent home after being
caught spying. The u. S. State De-
partment called a special press con-
ference to deny it. It said the incident
was a "plant" arranged by Soviet au-
thorities four months ago and stored
up for future use.
In London, number, Of Olympic
athletes chose not to return to their
homes behind the Iron Curtain.
IN New York. three Russian teach
ers scheduled to return to Russia, also
chose not to go back. Two appealed
for protection to federal authorities;
the other leaped out a thiEd-stOry
window at the Soviet consulate.
The case Of Mrs. Oksana Kosenkina,
the teacher who leaped, reads like a
cloak and dagger mystery except
than an author would have to tone
down the melodrama to keep it
credible.
Mrs. Kosenkina fed first to a farm
in Rockland County, N. Y, run by
Countess Tolstoy. The Soviet consul
rescued her and issued a statement
that she had been drugged and kid
mapped by white Russian bandits"
Held incOmmunicado, Mrs. KoSen-
kina leaped out a consulate window
after learning she was to be sent
home on the next Russian boat. New
York police answering an accident
call, sent the seriously injured wom-

tests Of the consul staff.
Under Federal Protection
A guard was mounted outside her
hospital door after she cried hysteri-
cally for protection. Finally Mrs. Ko-
senkina sought and was given a sub
poena to testify before the Thomas
committee in Washington, which
places her under federal jurisdiction.
Five days after her leap, the Soviet
consul in New York admitted Mrs.
KOsenlzina's fall was not an accident
but that she leaped in an attempt at
suicide. He said her nervous break
down was caused by harrassment of
Americans.
In the hospital, Mrs. Kosenkina told
police the kidnapping story was a
hoax and that she leaped from the
window because she preferred death
to going back to Russia.
Copies of her statement went to the
State Department where they were
incorporated into an answer to the
formal protests on her case made by
Soviet Foreign Minister. Molotov in
Moscow and by Ambassador Pan
yushkin in Washington.
