The w ashington Merry Go Round

uW/
 ASHINGTON = British-Ameri- can differences aren't the only strained relations worrying the State Department.
 Behind the scenes, a trouble breeding situation has developed with Brazil, our traditional South American ally.
 Cause of the disturbing dispute is a loan-with reverse English. The Brazilians don't want the loan.
 They hotly charge that the Ex- Import Bank is trying to ''blackjack" them into taking a S2OO, ,OOO, ,0O0 loan they don't want.
 This is the Brazilians' story:
 Brazil owes several hundred mill lion dollars to U. s. firms and banks for purchases of equipment and other supplies in the past year. It is conceded payments have been slow. The Brazilians explain this is due to an acute dollar shortage, as a result of very heavy decrease in exports to the U. s.
 The Brazilians say that if they can get a $4O,00O,000 loan to de-

EMERGENCY CALL MADE
 AT MIDNIGHT
Just Case of Target Shoot ing But General Alarm
 Sounded For Missing

When the all-clear signal sounded at 9:37 am today, 1t did not mean that searchers had found a lost or injured person on Mount Juneau.
 It did mean that a very sheepish young man had turned up to say he had been target-shooting shortly after midnight at the end of the mine road.
 Hearing groups of shots about 12:30 am, Mrs. Harry Bates, who lives at the end of the Basin Road n Silver Bow Canyon, called the Police Department to report what she took to be distress signals.
 After talking it over. with police officers, Fire Chief A, Minard Mill decided to sound the 2-9 emer- gency call. That was at l2:55 am
 20 RESPONDED
 About 20 citizens responded. Most of them volunteered to organize a search immediately Some IS fire men, according to Assistant Police Chief Frank D. Cavanaugh, whc had come running, too, went to a point within one-half mile of "the Horn" before abandoning the search for the night. They returned about am.
 Police Officer Bud Edwards set out at 5:45 am. to continue the search, planning to fire shots as signals. and arranging to meet other searchers at about g am.
 TWAS WILKINSON
 Scarcely an hour before the rem dezvous, Dick Wilkerson, whc operates the projector at the 20th Century Theatre, wakened from a good sleep and learned of the search
 A few minutes later, and very shame faced, he told Chief Mill that he just hadn't ceen able to resist trying out his new six-shooter after work. He said that, with three  other men, he had driven as far as he could on the mine road, set up target in the beam of the cars light, and blazed away with his new .38.
 SHOTS FIRED The shots were fired in groups by Wilkerson and his companions he said.
 On learning this, Mill was just reaching for the switch to sound the two" all-clear. signal, when someone said there was report of two hunters being lost in the same area.
 Mill investigated, learned that the report concerning the hunters was no cause for alarm, then pulled the switch for the delayed "all clear at 9:37

DAN MOVES FOUND AFTER
 LONG SEARCH
Road Commissioner 5 Son Uninjured- -Pitked Up
 by Sdnirind

Dan Moves, who naC been missing from a hunting camp on Douglas Island for a day and half, was picked up by the vessel Santrina shortly before noon today, appar- ently all right The boy had made his way to the beach on the west shore of the island, where the Santrina was on patrol.
 His companions had looked for him since Wednesday evening after Dan failed to return to camp. The search was intensified last night, when party was organized here.
 The ten members. equipped with walkie- -talkies and complete first aid equipment. left about midnight. Dams father. who is Alaska Road Commissioner, was one of them.
 Dan Moves, 17-year-old son of Col. and Mrs. John R. Moves, had gone over Wednesday with three companions. in order to be there for the opening of the hunting season yesterday.
 Others in the party were Micke, Bryson, Bill Keep and Kenneth Hildreth. They based at a cabin on Fish Creek. After Dan had been miss- ing from the party more than reasonable time, his companions started the search in Fish Creek Valley late Wednesday afternoon. When they failed to find him by last night, the boys decided that Bill and Ken would continue the search. while Mickey would report here and ask for help in the search. With the cooperation of Harry Sperling and others of the Forest Service, the party was organized late last night. Doug Smith, high way fire guard. took the party over in a Forest Service truck. The ACS loaned walkie- -talkies.
 Among those in the party with Smith were Colonel Moves, who or ganized the search by groups of two; George M. Tapley and Edgar Lokken. also of the ARC staff. and Bob Smith. Identity of the others had not been learned by press time.
 One group was to go up to the Eagle Creek trail which starts in the middle of Douglas Island, an- other to work near Point Hilda. after talking it over, the search- CTS decided that, unless Dan were hurt, he probably was lost. and would make his way to the beach. the Point Hilda drainage seeming his most likely route.
 The Santrina, a Juneau Spruce Corporation tug, went out this morning to patrol the shore. The U. s. Coast Guard 83-footer also showed off about a. m. to aid in the search.

Tooihaehe Is Cause for
 1,ooo-MiIe Trip

EDMONTON, Alta, Sept. 2.-R A toothache can become a pain in the neck when you're 1900 miles from the nearest dentist.
 For Mrs. Adolphus Norris of Ak lavik, N. w. T., it meant three week trip up the Mackenzie River to Edmonton by tug boat.
 When she suffered severe toothache, her husband packed her and their two daughters aboard the tug he uses in his trading business and set out for Edmonton, l,600 miles south.
 After a 1,100-mile water trip and a 500-mile jaunt by bus, the Norrises arrived in an Edmonton dentists office. Just for good measure they are all getting their teeth fixed.
 Norris hopes to make the return trip in ten days.

APPEAL E MADE 0pUT UP FIGHT
 ON COMMUNISM
(By The Associated Press)

In a statement commemorating the fourth anniversary. of victory over Japan, Acting President Lii Tsung-j jen of Nationalist China ap- pealed today to "all peace loving peoples of the world" to join in fight against international Com munism
 Chinese Communist forces were surging into Kwantung province in which Canton, the Nationalist provisional capital, is located.
 Lii said: Unless our freedom is protected, our sacrifices during World War II will have been made in vain. The brutal force employ ed by the Communists and their totalitarian ideas far surpass those of the fascists, and their threat to the cultural and spiritual achievements of mankind is even more dangerous than was that Of Hitler, Mussolini and the former Japanese militarists."
 In Tokyo, Premier Shigeru Yo- shida told the Japanese people they should pay back the money Japan has received from the United States for aid since the war. Only in that way he indicated, would Japan maintain tits old reputation abroad as a nation which never defaulted on its foreign obligations"
 New light was shed on the pat tern of the cold war between Yu- goslavia and Russia. The Comin- form Journal, published in Buch- arist, Rumania, said there is an organization of anti-Tito Commun- ists within Yugoslavia. Anti Tito Communist exile movements, it said, have their own radio sta- ton and publish four newspapers which circulate within Yugoslavia.
 The United Nations World, a pri- vately printed publication in New York said Tito is preparing to launch a new worldwide Commun- ist organization to compete against Russian Communism.
 Western diplomats in Bucharest expressed belief Russia and her satellites would not engage in a shooting war to force Yugoslavia back into the fold.
 Rebel forces in Bolivia reported today they are marching on Tari- ia, southern city of 10000 popu- lation. The latest drive is being led by Carmelo Cuello, commander of insurgent troops who captured Yacuiba, on the Argentine border, Wednesday. The Nationalist rebels are attempting to overthrow the middle-o the-road Bolivian govern ment.
