AIR AGREEMENT
 SIGNED BETWEEN
 CANADIANS, U. }.

WASHINGTON, June 11-lR- A new air agreement With Canada gives the United States conner cial connections on the routes over Canada to Europe and the Orient.
 Signed over the weekend with cut advance fanfare, the agree ment was immediately protested by Colonel Airlines The pact gives Canada direct route be- tween Montreal and New York, a service operated up to now only by Colonial.
 Sigmund Janas, Colon als presi- dent, said the agreement is a fi- nancial blow to his company. He indicated an appeal to Congress.
 The agreement gives this country rights to pick up and discharge passengers and cargo at Gander Newfoundland, jump-off point to Europe, and at Edmonton, Alta. main stop to Alaska and tbe Orient. Continuation of traffic rights at Gander had been jeopar- oized when Newfoundland joined Canada earlier this year. Besides the direct New York sMontreal route. Canada gets traffic , rights at Honolulu, on route tc Australasia, and at Tampa St Petersaurg, Fla, on a route to the Bahamas and Caribbean points Canada has not started to make these runs yet.

GENERAL VAUGHAN'S BAUBLE

The Congress still seems to take dim view of giving foreign med als to poor Gen. Harry Vaughan. In fact, they are now blocking for eign medals to anybody.
 Ever since George Washington's healthy precedent, Americans have been discouraged from accepting foreign medals-until quite recently. During the war, however, 1t be- came quite a fad in some Army Navy circles-though it takes an act Of Congress before an American citizen can actually accept for eign decoration.
 Recently the Army tried to slip through a bill, granting Vaughan and others permission to wear for eign medals But when Vaughan's name was discovered in the list, the House Armed Services Committee dropped the medals like hot pen nies.
 The other day, as trial bal loon, a bill came before the Senate authorizing some U. s. scientists to accept some British awards. This time they were civilians. But the debate lasted exactly two minutes General Vaughan's name ended it all.
 Senator Willard Tydings of Mary land, champion of the Senate Arm ed Services Committee, had stooo up to explain the bill.
 Congress" he droned, passed g special act, applying only during the length of the war, which permitted military and other decorations dur. ing the war. But since that ac has expired, it becomes necessary in each case. military or civilian, tc have special legislation
 'Is the war over?" boomed ou Ohio's Senator Robert Taft.
 T should say some phases of i seem to be going on with increas. ed intensity" retorted Tydings, witt a sardonic grin.
 Does this bill cover the Gen. eral who is connected with tht White House?" asked New Hamp- shire's Senator Charles Tobey.
 No, it does not" snapped Tyd. ings. Tt has nothing to do witt any military personnel"
 But though Vaughan's medal wa not on the list, motion by Repub lfcan leader Kenneth Wherry 0 Nebraska set the bill aside item porarily." Meanwhile, the State De partment, as temporary custodian for all these medals. is turning in to a glorified hook shop.

BiCTpURCE' 2. 7 IN RUSSIA
 REVEALED

NEW YORK, June II. --tR-- The New York Times said today a po- .Itical purge is taking place in Russia. W A Paris dispatch from c. L.. Culz- berger said evidence can be assem- ,led showing at least 100000 mem oers have been expelled from the Communist party and that mem oership in the Komsomol- Com nunist Youth League-has fallen.
 The Times lists several important party leaders as having disap- peared quietly. These included:
 N. A. Voznesensky. former Polit- QUITO member.
 A. A. Kuznetzov, Central Com nittee Secretary.
 P. E. Popkov, member of the 2residium of the Supreme Soviet.
 Yuri A. Zhdanov, son of the late Politburo chief.
 I. T. Golyakov, former Chief Of the Soviet Supreme Court. Sulz,erger said it appeared those now suffering were members Of the so-called "Zhdanov faction, persons who were close to or fol- lowed the line of Andrei Zhdanov who died Aug. 31, 1948 at 52. The cause of his death was listed officially as heart failure, but there were worldwide rumors that he had been "liquidated.'
 He had been Stalin's favorite and regarded as the Generalissimo s most likely successor. However, the Times said, he had fallen from favor before his death and been replaced by his reputed rival Georgi M Malenkov.

.THIRTY-YEAR CARDS
 WILL BE PRESENTED TAT LEGION MEETING
Monday Night Affair fo Give Recognition for
 Long Membership

In recognition of thiry years Of continuous membership in The American Legion, a group of "Old Timers" will receive cards certify ing that record on Monday evening June 13. when Post No. 4 meets in the Legion Dugout at 8 o'clock
 Presentations will be made by Ed ward Keithahn, and the evening will be marked by interesting fea- lures ending with refreshments Claude c. Carnegie is general chair man for the event, and the refresh ment detail will be headed by Bert Lybeck and C. M. Chuck" Porter.
 As an interesting prelude to the presentation, the Fourth of July Queen Candidate sponsored by The Legion will be presented to the membership. She is Martha New bould, daughter of Major and Mrs. Eric .Newbould, Territorial officers in charge of the work of The Salva- tion Army throughout Alaska.
 The decision to sponsor a Queen Candidate was made at the last regular meeting of the Post, with Miss Newbould proposed for the honor. Her acceptance of the Le- zion sponsorship assures the com- munity of an interesting competi- ton preliminary to the annual Fourth of July celebration.
 The Legionnaires who are tenta- lively scheduled to be present to M- ceive the longtime membership ci- tations at the old Timers Meet- ing" Monday evening include sWai- no Hendrickson, Harold F. Dawes, Fred Cameron, Earl Cleyeland, J. T. Pctrich, Fred Henning, Martin A. Lavenik, A. L. Zenger, Sr, and Olaf Winther.
 In addition, cards have been issued for Homer G. Nordling, Steve Vukovich and Elmer D. Carlson, but their absence from the city will make a later presentation neces- sary.
 Lest H. Rink and T. A. Hellen- thai are also in the thirty-year service group, but since. they now reside outside, their cards will be mailed.
 The general committee has an in- teresting evening planned, and a large attendance is desired.

KETCHIKAN SALES TAX

Ketchkan is to vote on June 26 on proposed per cent sales tax and the Ketchkan News says carfication is needed, follows:
 First-Is the sales tax for special purpose or for general purposes?
 Second-What exemptions if any, are to be made?
 Third-Since the citizens already approved bond issue of s42500O why Is necessary to have an add- tional sales tax?
 Some people against sales tax in any form It is no to argue with them. The majority how yer, we feel open to But they must be convinced sales tax is necessary and the reasons therefor.
 Unless proper clarification is given the sales tax is foredoomed to failure.
 There also should be opinion from the Attorney General the act which mentions that is covers retail sales and services" What services" Don't that include services" of professional men?
 Inere quite few other questions that need to be answered before the special election is held On of these is what to be done about the 10 mill Territory property Will it be added to the present city tax of 20 mills?
 How about operation in the Territorial Retire ment system for public employees? What is the ap- proximate city payroll total? How much will it cost the city to operate this system?
 We should begin to ask these questions at once. There is too little time left before the election is to be held. Taxpayers and voters will want to know what they up against.

Dear Editor:
Again please permit me to say
word about our separate schools
in Arizona.
Arizona, like most of our south
ern states, has a number of Col
ored schools. The buildings and
equipment of such schools are
about on par with those of other
states of like size, I suppose.
Most of the teachers of these
schools in Arizona have at least a
Bachelor of Arts degree and quite
a few have Masters degrees and
some, I understand, have PHD's.
This in itself is quite a credit
to the schools as we'll as to the
respective communities in which
these teachers work. In fact, the
Colored parents of these schools
should feel proud to know that the
teachers who teach tehir children
are professionally prepared to do
so by having first equipped them
selves educationally for their jobs.
AS I understand it, here in this
state, a teacher must meet certain
requirements of the state board
before they can teach in any one
of the rural schools This, I feel is
"a grand idea and should have the
approval of every citizen of the
various communities.
When I question teacher after
teacher in regards to their profess
sional preparedness and ask them
concerning their salaries and find
that they are not on par with
teachers o f the states whi t e
schools, I am perplexed, to be sure.
AS I understand it, again there
are no separate colleges and uni
versities for the youth of this state.
All are permitted to attend the
same colleges and universities re-
gardless of race or group.
And since we are graduating
each year "a group of young Negro
people who are entering the teach
ing profession and since those al
ready in the profession are meeting
the states requirement before be-
ing given a job, then why is it
that their salarie sare from three
to five hundred dollars less than
the teacher of like experience and
training Of our white schools?
It does seem to me, Mr.. Editor,
that something could be don e
about this matter which will tend
to equalize the salaries of our
worthy teachers.
The writer is personally ac-
quainted with district where the
teachers (Colored) have all the
way from two to twenty-five years
of teaching experience, and receiv-
ing at least from three to five hum
dred dollars less than the teacher
of the white school with one year
experience.
There can only be one or two
reasons, as I see it, why such con
dition exists; either the teachers
