 Besides moving in van-loads of office furniture, work was begun on installation of the communica- tions system in, the huge, acous- tically-treated room on the second floor.
 The actual date of transferring operations to function from here will depend on completion of this key installation, according to Comdr. D.

DISTRICT ESTABLISHMENT Actual establishment of the dis trict in Juneau" Commander Mor- risen said today. should be fully accomplished this month, probably within ten days.
 "As soon as the District is offi- cially established here, he con- tinued. i've plan to have an all- day open house for public inspec- 1 tion.
 We hope this celebration will serve several purposes" he went on. We want to acquaint everyone in the Gastineau area with the workings of the Coast Guard ana to express our gratitude for the welcome we have received and the greatly appreciated efforts to house so many families at one time. Be- sides, it will lee an opportunity to see what a fine building the com- munity has put up.'
 GIVEN KEYS
 This morning. Commander Morri- son accepted the box of shiny, new master keys for the three-story structure. officially turned over to him by Norman c. Banfield. presi- dent of the Board of Directors of the Community Building Corpora ticn.
 The Coast Guard will occupy the two top floors and three rooms on the. first floor, which will have other offices.
 HOUSING SITUATION Before we talk any more about headquarters plans" Commander Morrison interrupted himself. T want to express publicly for myself and the staff our gratitude for the efforts made in the matter of hous- ing. We appreciate very much all that has been done-those many hours on projects that have not worked out yet, as well as the search for immediate accommodate tions.
 Housing of some sort has been found for everyone who has ar rived in Juneau. In many cases, it is not satisfactory-sofne quarters are crowded and in some cases rents are so exorbitant that an enlisted man cannot live that way per- manently-but housing has been found. The need for suitable per- manent accommodations still is urgent

START TALKS ION CONTRACTS
 IN STEEL FIELD
Any Bung|ing Over Pro- posdIs Made by Truman
 May Give Strike Threat

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 14-R- Only agreement on time and place is needed today to start new steel contract talks. Outcome of the ne- gotiations may depend on the reluc- tance of some steel companies to pay the entire cost of insurance and pensions programs.
 Reluctance of some steel com panies to approve in advance the Presidential boards proposal that they pay for such programs was interpreted in some quarters as holding a new strike threat
 A spokesman for the CIO United steelworkers said that Union Presi- dent Philip Murrays statement he is ready to resume negotiations fol a contract based on the boards re- port meant that he will strike ang companies which failed to agree to pay all insurance and pension costs
 At least two company officials said workers ought to share the costs of such programs.
 The CIO United Steelworkers and four leading steel producers are ready to resume contract talks. They will seek settlement more or less based on the Presidential fact finders recommendation of a 10 cent hourly package increase. The '-oard advised against any wage Eoost.
 Negotiators will be working under an 11-day extension of the strike deadline which expired at midnight Tuesday.
 The union accepted the boards recommendations without reserva- tions. That meant giving up it's drive for fourth postwar round of wage increases in 1949. The union said the boards suggested 10-cent increase in the form oi company financed insurance and pension programs was good enough
 MURRAY WANTS ACTION
 PITTSBURGH, Sept. IA 4-lR- President Philip Murray of the CIO United Steelworkers today called on the steel industry to say promptly and plainly whether it is willing to accept the Presiden- tial boards formula for settlement of contract differences.
 Murray asked the steel industry to meet with union representatives in a joint collective bargaining conference before end of the strike truce expiring September 25
 The CIO Presidents move came in the form of a telegram to Presi- dent Benjamin A. Hairless of US Steel Corporation, acknowledged leader of steel industry moves
 There was no immediate comment from US. Steel but a spokesman said the Murray message is being studied and a reply might be avail able later.

Secret Meetings of Com. mics Held, White House
 -Aldskd Spot t-|ighted

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-R-A former Communist newsman told Senators today that Earl Browder, one-time head of the Communist party in the United States, held secret meetings in the White House with the late President Roosevelt in 1944.
 The testimony was given by How ard Rushmore, a reporter on the New York Journal American, to Senate Judiciary subcommittee.
 Rushmore is former member of the staff of the Daily Worker, the official Communist party organ in this country.
 He said his information on the White House meetings came from Benjamin Gitlow, whom he identi- fled as Communist party official
 The subcommittee is holding hearings on a bill by Senator Mo Carran CD-Nev) to arm the govern ment with new powers to block the entry of subversive aliens and to throw out any who are here.
 Rushmore also told the commit tee that former Secretary of State Cordell Full and Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife of the late President, in- tervened to allow Providers wife to enter this country after she had been ordered deported.
 Underground In Alaska
 Rushmore told of a trip he made for the Journal-American to Alaska last fall. He said U. s. planes, ra- dar, housing and anti-espionage forces there are pitifully made quate.
 Army Intelligence and the FBI are doing a grand job but they don't have enough personnel" he said.
 Rushmore declared that Lowell Wakefield. who he knows to be a Communist is now running fish ing fleet off Alaska.
 ''The Communist apparatus in AL aska is strictly underground, he said. Its entire aim is espionage. They work it particularly through unions under Communist control" ;"
 Yesterday self-styled charter member of the U. s. Communist party told the committee Russia has sent a secret trouble shooting" unit to this country. He explained that party leaders fear they will be driven underground.

Mare Exists for as Days
In Cellar on Canned Fruit

LANSFORD, N. D.-The story of
a mare that lived As days in a
cellar on canned fruit and vege-
tables, while her owners wintered
in Oregon, has come to light.
The four-year-old mare fell into
the farmhouse cellar through an
outside door. She was imprisoned
during most of the time when
snowstorms and billiards ragged
here, just 20 miles from the Can
adian border.
Missing since mid-January, she
was found by Albert Mattern. SON.
in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Brewers, the owners He heard a
commotion in the cellar when he
visited the farm. He led her out
via the stairway and door she had
entered.
He estimated the animal caused
$500 damage.
She smashed all of about 500
quarts of canned fruits and vege-
tables. They were buried in straw,
which provided roughage-and a
bed.
She gnawed away at some poles
with damaging effect.
And she lost about 200 pounds
while she was on the semihuman
diet.

Every afternoon we had a rest
period when we could write on
the daily newspaper, work out
musical skits, participate in
sports, go to the snack bar or

Wednesday afternoon we went on
a shopping trip in Billings.
In the evening some kind of
entertainment was planned, with
lunch served by various Billings
organizations. This was enjoyed
by all.
Wednesday night the state
elections came on. We were
having a barn dance and the
election returns were posted on
the bulletin board. Excitement
was high and there was much
cheering-but no weeping. Good
craftsmanship prevailed always.
These elections were run as ac-
tual elections, including poll tax,
judges, clerks and secret ballot
ing. At the next city election in
Laurel you will find US there to
hear the judges ring the bell and
call Hear Ye, Hear Ye, the polls

After the three elections the
offices were open for business.
In all three cases the business
Of these offices was supervised
by an official holding such an
office. C. H. Brewer, director of
the State Municipal League of
Kalispell, supervised the city
council meeting. Arthur F. La
mey, Billings attorney, supervised
the county court session which
held an actual trial. Supreme
Court Judge Adair supervised
the state supreme court and
swore in the state officers.
A reception for the Treasure

the program Thursday evening,
preceded by a general assembly
featuring an address bp Gov.
John Bonner.
We wish to thank u sponsors,
the American Legion Auxiliary,
Order of Eastern Star, Federat-

making this wonderful experienced

could be given to all girls.
Girls State not only gave us a

eminent, but it also taught us
now to live together, which is

This country has a large stock
of atom bombs, the latest much
more powerful than any used in
Japan. If one of these bombs,
or similar weapon, is used by
either side in the next war, it is
likely that a full-grown atom
bomb conflict will develop. This
country's military leaders hope
atom bombs will be barred FROM
warfare like poison gas in the
last two world wars. However,
they say If one atom bomb is
used las isolated instances of
poison gas usage in World War
ID retaliation will be quick. That
would set off an atom bomb war.

Air Force is putting jets in the
flying wing-it goes over with a

and no fuselage. With jets the
wing is expected to fly at speeds
which would h ave surpassed
fighter speeds in the last war.
Long-range planners here say
that the answer to atom bomb
directed guns that fire atom
bombs in aircraft fashion.
When the atom bomb explodes
five to ten miles above the earth,
it would destroy planes within a
radius of five miles, possibly.
The experts say it is possible for
atom explosions to occur ten
miles above the earth and not
harm those below. The atom
bomb would be adjusted to this
work in size.
If the bombs couldn't be reg
ulated to safeguard those below,
a defense barrier would have to
be set up-With guns located in
isolated places circling the de-
Tending country. This country is
about ready to begin building
complete radar screen around
borders now. Air Force officials
say we might need it sooner than
we expect.
