This Changing World
Homes in Hungary Reported Evacuated
To Make Room for New Russian Forces

civilian observers to observe and
photograph this remarkable affair.
The Finnish government itself
appears to be as interested in the
hunt" as other governments, but
the chances are slim that out
siders will be permitted to follow
the operation. It might involve
certain risks to their comfort, and
Soviet authorities hate the idea
that WesternerS should be de-
prived of their comforts.
All these disconnected bits of
news about Russia's activity be-
hind the Iron Curtain are being
carefully tabulated by Western in
telligence services and are linked
with certain recent utterances by
authorized spokesmen in Moscow
and with Maurice Thorez' state
ment in France Tuesday.
Order to Soviet Army.
In his order of the day to the
Soviet army Wednesday Marshal
Nikolai Bulganin, Soviet Armed
Forces Minister, warned Russian
troops that they must be ready
for any emergency, particularly
now when "the ruling circles of
the United States are seeking vio-
lently to establish their world
domination, are pursuing policy
of aggression and are planning to
unleash a new war"
This is the first time that such
a high-ranking Soviet official,
whose words are approved before
hand by the Politburo and Prime
Minister Stain, has made such an
overt attack on the United States.
The statement by Thorez, leader
of the Communist Party in France,
to the effect that the French Com
munists would cooperate. under
certain conditions, with Russian
invasion of France, is linked with
the Moscow marshalS utterances
The statements may form only
part of the new war Of nerves
which has followed the short,
lived peace offensive" last month
and is increasing in intensity as
the North Atlantic pact ap-
proaches completion. To the OBJ
noxious measures which the So
Wet authorities have taken against
Western nations is now added
good deal of sword-rattling.

U. S. TO ECUADOR

AS a result Of President Gallo
Plaza's smart, businesslike handling
of little Ecuadors affairs, that ma
ton has suddenly become the No
! Latin American bright spot fol
American investments.
In less than two months, half
a-dozen major developments have
set the tiny South American re-
public, with its 100000 population
t85 per cent Indian, in line for a
business and agriculture boom
which may become one OF the most
spectacular south Of the Rio
Grande
Eagerness to help or take part
in Ecuadorean progress has been
shown equally by private firms
and official organizations. First a
contract was signed in Quito with
the Westinghouse Corporation. fol
construction of a $1,000 900 fish can
merry on Ecuador's northwest coast
Following this, visiting representa-
tiyes of the World Bank announced
plans to grant Ecuador more or less
unlimited credits for public works
and industrial projects.

END AND BEGINNING

The United States, Britain, France and Russia
had their final inning the Berlin blockade and the
blockade was lifted May r. Now full-d meeting
of the foreign ministers to be held May 23 So after
all the months of tension and the most amazing siege
of history-and the most stupendous counter-sege-
comes quietly to a close.
Commenting on the blockade and the aftermath,
the ST. Louis Star Times says:

Then. Nelson Rockefeller's OUTFIT,
the International Basic Economy

into Ecuador and conduct an ex-
tensive program of farm mechani-
zation. Meanwhile, the Export-lm-
port Bank in Washington was ready
to grant Ecuador S50,0OO,00O loan
for highway construction.

stockholders include Ed Stettinius,
former Secretary of State, and Jo-
seph C. Graw, longtime U. S. Am

This company, which has been
developing plans for investment and
industrial undertakings throughout
the hemisphere, has now picked
Ecuador as the place to start.

up because East and West disagreed on the path
to be blazed for Germany. The blockade collapsed,
most probably, because the Russians found it useless
and worse than useless But the disagreements that
created the blockade continue. far from solution

Is the Ruhr to be segregated from Germany or slotted

(ANNERIES OF BRISTOL
BAY EMPLOYING NATIVES


Bristol Bay canneries should be
commended for their employment
OF Alaska Natives instead of hiring
outside workers, says Bob Drux-
man, Juneau public relations conn-
sci, who made an inspection OF the
Territory for the Alaska Native
Service
He said that three years ago
these canneries began employing
Natives instead of importing work
ers direct from the states. This .ac-
ton has served two purposes, he
declared. 1t has saved money for
the canneries and it has helped
give a cash income to the Natives.
Druxman' said that he hoped
other industries would investigate
the possibility of hiring Native
employees. He said that they are
efficient. skilled and wiling work
ers.

Harold L. Ickes is after Julius Krug
The former Secretary of the Interior is calling the

an article that publication by Ickes titled On Frisk

We have taken some pot shots ourselves at
Krug for withdrawal of lands in Alaska without a
hearing but Krug is a piker alongside of Ickes for
Withdrawals made by the latter through directives
when he was bureau chief.
In one place Ickes says Krugs intention is Ito
rob the Alaska Indians of their remaining property
Ickes again says "A bill passed by the last Con-
gress which President Truman unfortunately signed,
no doubt inadvertently which gave the Forest Service
bureaucrats power to turn over the Tongass Forest
to certain private pulp interests And those who hoped
to profit by the rape of the Indians seem to be AFRAID
to take possession. Secretary Krug was not dsmayed
because his timber steal begged down. He then tried
to turn over the valuable fishing sites to the packing
interests"
Well, let EN- go to it.

was promised by Chairman John

however, LIE Craw was about to be
dismissed when Congressman Fran
els Case. South Dakota Republican,
asked whether LIE Craw had ever
belonged to the Khan. He admitted
Joining back in the Klan's hey
day. but said he had broken off all
ties long ago.
Nevertheless, since the Khan is on
the list of Un-American organlza-
tons the committee IS supposed to
investigate, congressman decided II
would be wiser not to hire former
Klansman to run the investigation
Afterward Congressman Wood ex-
planned to Case that he hadnt

ously, land I never suspected he be-
