 BIRTH DAY
By Associated Press

Communists around the world joined Russia today in celebrating the Soviet Unions 32nd birthday, the anniversary of the 1917 revolu- tion.
 In Moscow thousands of troops, tanks and planes paraded for hours today across Red Square. From the reviewing stand atop Lenin's tomb the Soviet Minister of Armed Forces, Marshal Alexander M Vas ilevsky, told his people to fight still harder for the further growth of the might of our state.'
 Bulgarias Communist Foreign Minister, Vladimir Poptomov, yes terday used Sofas celebration to hint his government soon might try former Communist Deputy Premier, Traicho Kostov, for al- legged plotting with agents of Yugo- slavias Marshall Tito, the United States and Great Britain.
 Soon our society will have the possibility to learn the specific facts on this disgusting treachery,' '' Poptcmov said.

Lewis Gets Orders from
 Sen. Bridges
Told 10 Stop Payments of Miners Welfare Fund
 Immediately

CONCORD, NH, Nov. 7-lR-- U. s. Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NHD said today he and John L. Lewis are in conflict" and that payments from the multi-million dollar miners welfare fund must cease im- medlately.
 Bridges, neutral trustee of the fund, Said he has demanded that payments cease because he claims further expenditures are illegal
 He said he has written his de- mand to Lewis, trustee for the union, and asked for a meeting of the three fund trustees.
 Since expiration of the UNIV contract last June, payments have been limited to emergency hospital and medical cases. The fund has fallen from 30,000,OOO in June to about s12,OoO,000, last month, Bridges office confirmed.
 Bridges contends the fund is legally exhausted since money ob- tained without work contract can- not be used. Most of the $1,000, 900 fund last month was collected on coal mined after Lewis walkout Bridges contends.
 Ezra Van Horn, the operators representative, previously urged freezing all royalties collected since June 30.
 In Chicago Lewis told reporters he doesn't wish to discuss anything until after he meets with the United Mine Workers 200-man policy com mittee.

 OPINION OF
 HIGH COURT
Echo of 1948 Wa|kout of Miners Brought Up-
 Other Cases Up

WASHINGTON, Nov 7-tR--The Supreme Court today in effect up- held the $1.420,0O0 contempt-of- court fines levied on John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers dur ing 1948 walkout.
 The fines were imposed by Judge T. Alan Goldsborough in US. Dis trict Court here after Lewis ignored a court order to bring the strike to prompt end. Lewis was fined s20 000 and the union $l 400, 900.
 Attorneys for Lewis and the union appealed to the Supreme Court to review Goldsborough's rul- ing and set aside the fines. But the court denied review by 5-3 vote, thus letting the ruling stand unchanged and in effect upholding it.
 In other actions today the court:
 Refused to consider an attack by railroad unions on the l948 court order which headed off nation wide railroad strike.
 Agreed to rule on (a) the right of Texas to require separate schools for Negroes and whites and (b) the right of oklahoma to force a Negro to sit apart from white students en- rolled in the State University
 Decided the US District Court here has power to grant group of Negro firemen an injunction against asserted discrimination in railroad job assignments.

Trap Hearing dt Kefthikan Brings Out Divergent
 Opinions

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. T. Special to Empire) Stating that if seine boat operators could fish the points in Southeast Alaska on which fish traps are now located they would have enough money that they could afford to hire legal talent to present their case against the fish traps, Charles Nelson, fish erman, and member of the City Council, appeared today before the subcommitteetlof the iCongressmen conducting hearings throughout the Territory on the problems of Alaska to claim that the fish 'runs were being depleted to the point of ex- tinction by the operation of fish traps.
 Nelson made much of the fact that only seven out of 94 inde- pendent owners of fish traps were residents of the Territory and that the other 150 traps in Southeast Alaska were owned by canneries.
 He maintained that traps were special privilege and would have to be abolished if the fish runs here were to be protected and the fishermen assured the chance to earn a living.
 PERATROVICH TESIIFIES Frank Peratrovich, Territorial Senator from Klawock, also express sed a view point similar to that of Nelson and told the committee that if Alaska were granted state- hood and the control of her fish cries the traps would be immedi- ately abolished.
 Peratrovich said that the only reason the referendum ballot taken in Alaska for the abolishment ot the fish traps specified that traps be taken out over ten year period was due to the terrific pressure drought upon members of the Terri torial Senate by trap owners and cannery operators and that it was necessary to specify the 10 year period in order to get the chance Tor a referendum ballot on the question.
 He informed the committee that he thought that if the fish traps were permitted to operate for an- other 10 years the salmon runs would be completely killed off and the residents would be forced to move out of the Territory.
 Nelson and Peratroyich were only two of the twelve fishermen who spoke strongly against the fish traps.
 SPEAKS FOR TRAPS The only spokesman for the traps was w. c. Stump who stated that he was acting as attorney for .94 independent trap owners. Stump maintained that the trap question was Nstrictly gear fight and tht conservation was not a'concern O. the seiners who urged that trap be abolished. He said that paci figures over the past two year prove that under proper control thu fish runs are being built up ane that there was enough fish fol roth seiners and traps. He pointed out that the Bristol Bay pacI without traps had fallen consider. ably during the past two season, while the pack in Southeast Alasks lContf,,,,ad cn IInoa pt

Navy 'o".FsE Es4gssg e ~ HiNG1oNlwhat Secretary, of the Navy MattewsF is up against in the .demotionf of. Adm. Louis Denfsld is mot sDenfelds testimony before Congress, but the basic ques- tion of whether the Navy Depart ment is to be run by civilian.
 Except for stubborn old Josephus Daniels, who was thoroughly hated by the Admirals, and Charles Edi- son, who was finally eased out by the admirals, there has been no Secretary of the Navy in the last 50 years who has really domsn- mated the Navy Department.
 In previous column 1t was shown how Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox was constantly short circuited or ignored by the Admir- als. One thing that upset Knox was the terrible submarine tragedy and the Nays inability to cope with it during the first year of the war. a
 In World War I not single American soldier was lost from submarine attack while crossing the Atlantic In World War II the death toll was so great that it was kept a strict military secret, and only afterward was it known that 4,4OO American troops need lessly drowned. And this did not include merchant seamen.
 In addition, the sinking of mer- chant vessels even one year after Pearl Harbor hit the sickening to- tai of 100000 tons per month. Nazi U-boats lurked along the Am erican coast with brazen effront- cry; prowled near the beaches of Atlantic City, Jacksonville and Mi ami.
 Despite the secrecy, the American public knew that something was wrong with the Navy's defense. Fnt few people ever knew what went on inside.
 Secretary Knox stormed, cajoled and pleaded. But he could not quickly surmount the mistake the admirals made in concentrating on big battleships at the expense of the unglamorous escort vessel. Nor could he quickly remedy the fact that no provision had been made for enough sonic or listening de- vices, or to train men to use them.
 Another trouble was that the Navy had plans for nine different types of escort vessels, and the admirals could not decide which was best.
 Finally it took civilian, Charles E. Wilson, head of the War Pro- duction Board, to settle the ques- tion. He called in Naval architect William F. Gibbs, who recommend ed a design not unlike the British Corvette.
 But this was not done until al- most one year after Pearl Harbor

Would Limit Seiners

Would Limit Se1ners
 An interesting point on conserva- ton was made by Rep. Allen who told Mrs. Gross that limits would have to be placed on the number of seine caught fish if traps were abolished in order to conserve the supply if the present level of can- nery operation is to be maintained. Mrs. Barnes expressed the belief that the income from fishing should be spread out for more to share. Nolan explained the action of the Territorial Legislature in in itiating the fishtrap referendum. Anderson told the committee that fish traps could operate safely from a conservation standpoint with stringent supervisory reeula- tions.
