 Robertson: Strictly speaking, the courts here are not Federal courts. Formerly I took the position that the court here had jurisdiction. MT Stabler and MT. Banfield held that it did not. We wrote to Bob Bart lett and he took it up with Norman Summers, Assistant General Coun- sel of the N.L.R.B. and Bartlett sent us a copy of a letter from him say ing that the Court of Alaska had the standing of a Federal Court in some instances. But that there is a serious doubt that it has jurisdic- tion in this case. The sections cov- ering this have been limited by amendments.

URGE CAUTION
FOR WINTER
Council Suggests Reduction
Of Sports Accidents
Through Care
OFFER SUCCESS IONS

To perhaps ten million Ameri-
cans winter sports are the most
fascinating of all. The thrill of
flashing speed plus vigorous phys
ical exercise, enjoyed under the
most exhilerating conditions OF
temperature, tingling air and aus
terely clean and beautiful sur
roundings, blend in lure few per-
sons with red blood in their veins
care to resist.
The only sensible way to reduce
the number of winter sports acci-
dents is through education. Edu-
cation that is not negative, but
positive. Not grim and joykill-
ing succession of "don'ts'', but the
instilling of an intelligent aware
ness of the hazards that exist and
of how they may be overcome.
Here are a few hardshelled sug-
gestions for participants in an
winter sports, as suggested by the
Delaware Safety Council:
1. If you go off for weekend of
winter sports, don't cram into that
weekend the amount of exercise
you would ordinarily take in a
month.
2. Watch out for wet feet and
wet clothing. Pneumonia likes to
play favorites.
3. BE sure your equipment is in
good condition. Prayed webbing,
a worn strap, a crumpling runner
may unexpectedly precipitate you
into trouble through no fault of
your own other than the greatest
of all faults-carelessness.
A. If warning signs are posted,
OBSERVE THEM. They are not
put there just for fun.
Now word to the children
and to the municipal authorities
Children like to go coasting. They
should and must go coasting. But
it is impossible to stop a motor
vehicle hastily on an icy street
Smyrna times., 1948-01-15

Every town, therefore, should have
at least one, and preferably as
many as possible, suitable hills or
even streets set aside for the par
ticular use of the children when
ever coasting conditions are favor
able-and the children should not
be permitted to coast elsewhere.
If it is necessary to use street
for this purpose, all vehicular traf-
fic should be barred, or, if this is
impossible, the necessary flow OF
traffic should be regulated either
by an officer or by parent volun-
teer whenever the children are
permitted to coast, so that there
will be a minimum of danger OF
accidents.

Truman Promises To Carry Out His
 Campaign Pledges
COP Will Fight His Promise Of Rebirth Of The New Deal
lBY Jack Belll

WASHINGTON, (P)-Repubi- cans closed their shattered ranks yesterday for a tWo-year fight in Congress against a certain effor. by President Truman to modern ize the New Deal.
 MT. Truman returns to Wash ington and a Welcome-home cele- bration today, the hottest article in American politics, as the result of his upset victory over Gov Thomas E. Dewey.
 He will be off Sunday for two- week breathing spell at Key West, Fla.

 ''I am going to do the very best I can to carry out that Democratic platform as I promised to do in my speeches around the country" he said
 That is large order.
 Besides efforts toward winning lasting peace, the platform pledged such things at home as CD curbs on Republican inflation," @ comprehensive" housing leg islation and (3) tax reduction whenever it is possible to do so without unbalancing the nations economy"
 The platform also called for CD repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, CD a 75-cent an hour minimum wage

Aviatrix Lands On Sheyma After Rough Flight

SHEMYA, (P) - Mrs. Richard Morrow-Tait, British round-the- world flier, landed safely here Wednesday on a 1,778-mile flight from northern Japan despite storms, a crippled radio and dwindling gas supply.
 She and her navigator, Michael Townsend, had been unreported for eight hours in their single-en- zine plane. They were to have been escorted on the entire trip from Chitose, Japan, by a B-17 air force rescue plane.
 Nine hours out on the flight of 13 hours and 20 minutes, their ra- dio went dead in a storm and they lost contact with the escort craft.
 They landed here with only five gallons of gasoline left in the tanks.
 Mrs. Tait said she and Townsend will stay here about two days to make repairs to the radio. As the weather permits, they will make their next hop by easy stages up the Aleutian chain, to Anchorage, ,453 miles away.
 From there they will fly to Whitehorse, Y. T., and then east ward through Canada. Their plans are to fly the North Atlantic back to England, if the weather per mits.
 The flight from here to Anchor age will be made with another B-17 rescue craft as escort.

Internation'l News At A Glance ---
(By The Associated Press) Thursday. November 4. l948

Russia rejected completely to- day a western power plan for con- trol of atomic energy.
 Her action was in the United Nations, where the prediction was widely made that the United States role in world affairs will be promptly strengthened as the re- suit of President Truman's cleo ton.
 The Presidents foreign policy appears certain to be dominated by thiagreat single issue: how much more money and goods is the United States willing and able to throw into the cold war against Russia?
 The critical areas presently are Western Europe, China and Greece. Negotiation of North Atlantic military alliance is a top agenda item. Under the proposal, the United States is expected to supply $2,OOO,OOO,OOO and up per year for lend-lease war equipment for Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg an d whatever other countries may ad- here.
 The Greek aid program is ex- pected to be greater than the cur rent $175, 5,OOO,OOO military aid out pouring. The state department al- ready is reviewing its policy on China, faced with immediate cri- sis.
 Nationalist China drew her lines closer to Nanking. Her lead CTS hoped for some miracle to save the country from the threat of Communist conquest. The cabinet is trying to resign, economics are in collapse, and Chiang Kai-Shek appeared about to lose his numer- ical superiority over the commun- ists. The government has not yet considered seriously a demand for an end to the civil war and coa- lition with the Reds.
 An international military tri- bunal in Tokyo convicted 25 Japs of waging aggressive war against China, the United States, Russia, Britain and other nations. Former premier Hideki Tojo and A other defendants, who soon will learn their fates, looked sleepy as the judgement was handed down.
