Snow Novelty To
Australian Girl

KoAiak's recent heavy snow
fall made the first white Christ
mas Mrs. Vlara Lossman had
ever seen Mrs. Lossman, who
lives in Knudsen apartments il
from Sydney, Australia, where
the temperature never gets be-
low so degrees and where it
reaches 100 sometimes at Christ
mas.
Mrs Lossman, whose husband
Frank is a navy chief, arrived
in Kodiak about three weeks
ago and promptly donned her
boots and started jumping
around in the snow. Her hns.
band and neighbors were vastly
amused she admits, by the fas.
cinatien the white stuff had for
her.
One evening her husband
came home from the base to find
a waist high pile of snowballs a.
waiting him. Mrs. / ossman says
she had a wonderful time mak->
ing them.
An Australian war bride, Viz
ara Lossman met her future hus-
band when he was stationed In
Sydaey in 1912. In 1913 he was
assigned elsewhere and it wasn't
until 1916 that Viara was able
to come to the States. In Sep
tember of that year the twol
were married in Corpus. Christi,
Texas.
Mrs. BOSNIAN, whose speech
only occasionally holds . some
what English infection, has new
or before lived in q town as
small ., Kodi k (Sydnty has Q
million people, but she likes it
because the people are SO frlend-
ly.
Another Australian war bride
In Kodiak is Mrs. Yvonne Trus-
SO. wife Of Frank Trusso, also in
the navy. She has been here
since July but last winter was in
New York city so that the snow
here is no novelty to her.
The Mirror, in announcing
the raise for longshoremen last
week, inadvertently didn't give
them q raise at alt, but listed
their former wages. The men
will now receive $1.93 IL per
hour straight time and 81 80 Ia
per hour for overtime.

duenced by personalities and is conducted
by small element, the bulk of the popu-
lation having only rudimentary political
consciousness, though the masses can be
easily reused by demagogic appeals to their
passions and prejudices.
Premier Jabr, who is still in England, be-
leves he can straighten matters out when
he gets home He announces that ION our
return to Irau we shall explain the inten-
tions of the new treaty to Parliament and
the people of Iraq," and that this will undo
the work of destructive elements who ex-
plotted some innocent students and sue
ceeded in creating disorders"
There this strange affair rests for che

pot. But, in the Near East, nothing can
be quite taken for granted.

AnqIo-Iruq Treaty Mixup

The uncertainties and hidden pressures
in Near Eastern politics are being well ex-
emplif1ed by the complications attending
the treaty recently negotiated between
Britain and Iraq.
Several days ago the treaty was formally
signed with due ceremony in England by
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Pre-
mier Saleh Jabr of Iraq. The Premier
seemingly was following the instructions
of the highest authorities in his homeland,
because the Regent of Iraq sent messages
to King George and Mr. Bevin expressing
his pleasure at the signing Of the treaty
In London, therefore, the matter was
looked upon as settled.
However, no sooner did the news reach
Iraq than riotous demonstrations broke out
in Bagdad, the capital, and at other points
These demonstrations, attended by blood
shed when police and troops undertook to
restrain the rioters, were led by students,
who inveighed against British Imperial
ISM" Similar statements were made by
leaders of the political opposition in the
Iraq Parliament.
At first, the government condemned the
demonstrations as Communist-inspired
But after several days of conferences with
political leaders, the Regent issued state
ment that the treaty "does not realize the
national aims of Iraq" and that there
would be no ratification of any treaty that
does not realize the countrys rights and
national demands"
Surprised and rlonplussed. official Lon
don appears unable to give rational ex-
PLANTATION of this sudden turnabout. The
treaty would seem to be as beneficial to
Iraqian as to British interests. 1t guar
antees Iraq protection against foreign ag-
gression for the next twenty years, assures
Iraq adequate supplies of military equip
ment, and recognizes the full equality OF
the contracting parties. Although Britain
retains the use of two big air bases built
during the late war, they are to become
Iraq property. The treaty is certainly dis
pleasing to the zionists, who protest
against further arming OF Arab states hos
tile to the partition of Palestine. The
question remains, therefore, what the local
pother Is about.
Undoubtedly, Communist influence has
been against the treaty from the first,
though the Communists are not repeatedly
strong in Iraq. Another explanation is
that much of the trouble has been stirred
up by friends of that chronic malcontent
Rashid Ali ell Gallant, who tried to turn
his country over to the Axis early in the
war and was expelled by British military
intervention shortly thereafter. 1t should
be understood that in 1raq, as in other
Near Eastern countries, politics Is ouch in

Official MeddIinq

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach has
gotten an opinion on the GSI strike from
his legal adviser which contributes pre-
cisely nothing to settlement OF the
dispute
The legal adviser finds that our national
policy is to encourage free collective bar
gaining, that GsI is not prohibited by law
from dealing with the striking union, and
that the inability of the union to use the
facilities of the Labor Board does not dis
qualify it as bargaining agent.
It is difficult to see why Mr.. Schwellen-
bach had to call upon his legal adviser
for these conclusions, since no one has
disputed them at any time. They are
sound enough as far as they go, but the
trouble is that they do not touch on the
central issue in this dispute.
The union involved has been unable to
60 to the Labor Board because its officers
have been unwilling to file af1davits that
they are not Communists True, they are
not required by the Taft-Hartley Act to
file these affidavits, but it is equally true
that Congress intended to leave noncom-
plying unions in exactly the position that
the union of cafeteria workers finds itself
today. And the ultimate purpose Of Con-
gress unquestionably was to squeeze Com
munists out of official posts in labor unions.
If GSI suspects that the aff1davits have
not been filed in this instance because
there are Communists among the officers
of the cafeteria union, or its parent organ
ization, the United Public Workers, the
suspicion is not an unreasonable one. And
If its refusal to treat with the union until
the aff1davits are filed is designed to
squeeze out those officers who may be
Communists, that Is not only sound
objective but one that Is wholly consistent
with the intent of Congress.
This Is more than can be said of Mr..
schwellenbach's tactics. His legal adviser
does not deny that Congress intended to
get rid of Communist union officers. In
fact, he has made no finding whatever in
this fundamental point. Nevertheless, Mr..
Schwellenbach is using the prestige of his
Office in what is patiently an attempt to
coerce GSI into dealing normally with a
union which refuses to comply with the
anti Communist affidavit provision of the
law.
If the union officers would file these
aff1davits they could Immediately use the
facilities of the Labor Board to enforce
whatever legitimate claims the union has
on GsI. 1t is strange that Mr.. schwellen-
bach does not advocate, or even suggest,
this course. As responsible official, one
would expect him to pursue policy de-
signed to effectuate rather than Illustrate
the effort to force Communists out of key
spots in labor unions Instead, he prefers
to indulge in form of official meddling
which seems designed to enable this union
to achieve through pressure tactics what
it cannot achieve either through a strike
or through the customary processes of the
Labor Board. This is an undertaking on
his part which does not deserve, and
which ought not to receive, any support.

world cooperation peace-loving nations will

We get glimpses of that force greater than
the atom In the spontaneous good will glowing
in the hearts of millions of Americans, from
sea to sea, who heightened the Friendship
Train of % cars in Los Angeles to TOO when it
reached New York, bearing 1000 tons OF life
sustaining gifts. In the freezing wind Of mid
winter, as those laden cars moved through
States sometimes considered isolationist,
patient crowds stood for hours on railroad
platforms awaiting its coming. That train
was filled and propelled across the continent
to waiting ships in the Atlantic, not by the
disguised agents of Wall Street and imperial
ism, but by organized compassion, including
longshorenen who gave their labor and chill
dren who gave their pennies. All who have
eyes to see and hearts to feel realized as the
Friendship Trains glided through stricken
France and Italy, amid the cheers Of grateful
throngs, that here was a power greater than
the atom.
This invincible power has been incarnated
during these last days in one frail brown man
of India who, with the ultimate weapon of
moral force in his hands, proved stronger than
bloody violence.
To live in defiance of this moral force greater
than the atom we call secularsm. Every one of
our contemporary Ills totalitarianism in the
state, infidelity in the home chicanery in
management and labor, shallowness in educa-
ton, indifference in religion can be traced to
that faith without an altar. Yet the only
answer to the atom is the altar
The truth of General MacArthur's solemn
words, broadcast to listening world from
Tokyo Harbor in one of historys highest hours,
cannot be evaded or avoided He declared that
victory has given mankind one more chance to
build world OF brotherhood; that the ultimate
issue is moral, spiritual, theological" and if
this dearly bought opportunity is not seized the
doom Of Armageddon is inevitable
When halfway in the twentieth century the
very earth trembled on the brink of destruc-
tion, when the great decision of all the ages
was faced-life or death, the blessing or the
curse-shall it be said that saving remnant,
true to Americas spiritual beginnings trust
ing power greater than the atom, turned
humanity upward from dust to destiny as the
sons of God?

Cleaning Up Ninth Street

It is encouraging to note that business,
church and civic interests have Joined In
a concerted movement to "clean up" Ninth
street, particularly that portion of 1t south
Of New York avenue. Efforts of CONNER
cial and investment interests to develop
this colorful street along modern business
lines have been retarded by the blight
ing effect of a few cheap establishments
frequented by "stumble-bums" and other
disreputable characters. This is prob
lem with serious economic as well as social
aspects.
The Ninth street problem has come to
general public notice as result of vigor-
Gus opposition voiced by businessmen,
churchmen and residents to extension of
the liquor licenses of two taverns we'll
known to police and to the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board. The ABC licenses
of these places will expire at the end of
this month. Both of these establishments
have changed hands number of times
and both have been in trouble with the
ABC Board. The license of one was suS-
pended twice last summer, but the second
suspension was held up pending court ac-
ton to nullify the order. The latter case
is still in the courts. The other tavern was
cited for permitting disorderly activities in
October, 1945, and was warned by the
board. It was cited again recently and its
license suspended for ten days. A police
man testified yesterday that since Septem-
ber he has arrested thirteen drunks in one
of the places.
The Mid-City Citizens Association and
the Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church
have taken leading part in the move to
close these past offenders. The resorts
could not exist in their present form with
out liquor licenses. But the ABC Board
alone does not hold the fate of Ninth
street in its hands. A real and permanent
house cleaning will require cooperation by
the police and by those who do business
and live in the affected area. The cam
paign now getting under way should be
continued and extended, so that Ninth
street no longer will be magnet for dis
orderly elements of the community.
