COMMUNISTS CHRISTIANS
{ Editors DeSk)

Leaders of the churches of the world following the common practice Of mankind, devotng much time to organization and much effort to the display of n fluence and power
 The church leaders express themselves every conceivable subject Many of them greatly concern ed lest human beings fail to accept their application of religious doctrines. Consequently, they devote much time and effort to the solution of problems which might be better left to the attention of politicians socioogSts and professors.
 Recently, at the World Council of Churches several of the delegates in attendance delivered themselves of the opinion that it is impossible for Communist to be
 Christian. This is nonsense, of course man may be- eve in the communistic social and economic philosO phy and the same time believe in the doctrines of Christianity.
 It may be that the majority of the Communists in the world inspired by Moscow following the leadership of dctaoral regime fail to distinguish between Con- munist philosophy and the practices advocated by lead ing Communists of the day.
 It is perfectly obvious that individual perfect ly express the Christian doctrine in everyday life Ob vously if men and women imperfect, their lives do not reflect the ideals of Christianity. It would be fool sh however, to say that it is impossible for person be Christian and to live

WASHINGTON, (P) - Whether Congress will enact an omnibus flood control and rivers and har- bors authorization bill this year became a big question mark today.
 The House rules committee threw a road block at the big Sl,ll4,000,O00 bill Wedne y which could mean that nothing will be done on it until next year.
 What the committee did was to vote down a motion to send the bill to the House.
 Loaded with waterways projects for virtually every State, the bill previously had been approved and Introduced by the House pub lie works committee.
 The only Alaska project in the bill is for survey of Hoonah har- bOr.

CITIES AND TOWNS NEED MONEY
(Hugo $. Sims)


 The Municipal League of Tennessee recently con- cluded convention approving the idea of Senator ES teS KefauVer that commission representing federal, city state and county viewpoints work out comprehen- sve tax plans acceptable to all the agencies of govern ment
 There general complaint that state and federal governments have relegaed cities to deplorabbe f- nancia position through their usurpation of available tax sources.
 It is obvious to any student of municipal government that this important unit of all government is being ham, strung by lack of financial resources. Consequently most of the cities and towns throughout the nation find it extremely difficult to meet ordinary expenses much less provide the public with facilities and services that modern civilization demands.
 It is clear that the federal government has hogged most of the producing devices of taxation What is left has been seized by the state governments with the county government managing to get the remainder Even in the distribution of state funds the municipal y is not regarded worthy child of the state and rarely shares in these appropriations made by state legislatures

DRILLING FOR NEW WATER SUPPLY FOR KOTZEBUE

 Kotzebue's water supply is in adequate and has been for some time and is also poor in quality. The geological party plan to drill for water to find a new supply.
 It is understood that if and when the water is located all test holes will be removed and the na- lives will have to start well of their own.
 IL is reported that the Air Force has loaned the use of equipment to the party from the base here which went north on the Telmin- al Knot.

Large Gas Field Discovered Near Point Barrow

WASHINGTON, (P)-The navy disclosed last night that natural gas has been found in commercial qualities near Point Barrow, the northernmost inhabited spot on this continent.
 The discovery came in the navy's stepped up search for gas and oil findings in the 37,000 acres naval petroleum reserve No. 4, at the top of the world.
 The natural gas well, known as South Barrow No. 2" has been drilled about six miles south of Point Barrow. A considerable de- posit of gas is indicated.
 This discovery, plus th 6 shows of oil and gas tested in wells drilled in other parts of the reserve, justify the careful explo- ratory program being conducted by the navy in Alaska said Com. William G. Greenman, director of naval petroleum reserves in statement.
 The new gasser is flowing in quantities sufficient to meet the fuel requirements of the naval in- stallation at Point Barrow.
 All of the five deep wells drilled so far, and two of the three now being drilled, have reve a e d shows" which encourage belief that commercial oil fields exist in the region, the navy said.
 Greenman is of the opinion that prospects look more encouraging than at any time. He feels strong ly that exploration should contin- ue. Work is now being done under Sl4,000,000 appr opriation through June, 1850. Additional money would be needed for the fiscal years of l950-5l.
 To make the withdrawal of the oil commercially prof b l e, Greenman said workable fields would be capable of producing about 100000 barrels a day from a reserve of from 5OO,OOO,OO0 to 800,000,00e barrels.
 This is seen as necessary to war rant building a 700-mile pipeline

ALABAMA OUTLAWS MASKED MEN

The people of the nation should applaud the State of Alabama for the passage of law making it crime to masks hoods on the street The act passed by both Houses and signed by the Governor, is described the first Southern legislation to unmask the Ku Klux Klan and imtaor groups Because of number of acts of violence in Alabama, public sentiment undoubtedly supports the new law.
 In the meantime, law enforcement officers have urged the public to report every appearance of hooded groups Its intention is to prevent illegal groups self
