were powerful enough to dictate
governmental appointments with
threats Of strikes, a new era Of
demagogues would indeed be at
hand. Such power would be po-
tentially disastrous.

ner. However, the selfish actions
of any one leader casts unfavor-
able reflections on the whole
movement. VII
No more loyal group Of Ameri-
can citizens exists than the miners
themselves. It is sad irony these
people should suffer the brunt of
the strike. According to the AS
ISOLATED Press, they will lose
about 500 million in wages during
the two weeks layoff. This means
SOB million in food, clothing, and
other essentials must be'fcrfeited
to the whims Of one leader who
was elected by workers to safe
guard their interests.
This points up sharply the need
for adequate labor legislation.
Without violating the rights Of
labor, we must draw clearly the
line where those rights end and
national responsibility begins. The
average worker has everything to
gain in such legislation. Labor
must be accorded complete pro.
lection from responsibility -
found within its own leadership,
or elsewhere.

mortality than did men in uniform The casualties

Four Dogs Rescued Two Weeks Ago

Tuesday, the 18th of April, the PIC of the Marks Air Force Base released the story of an incident which occurred on April 7th.
 It seems the air force rescued four sled dogs which were ma rooned on an ice floe off Cape Darby, near Golovin.
 The dogs were part of team of seven dogs driven by Edwin Pun guk of Golovin on a hunting trip on the ice. The outer ice broke away leaving open water between Punguk and the shore. He put three of the dogs into his kayak and padded to the shore ice. He was unable to return to the floe to get the remaining four dogs on ac- count of the formation of new ice and the heavy winds.
 Returning to Golovin, Punguk contacted Harry Strong, consult ant for the Alaska Air Commands Arctic Indoctrination School, who made the necessary arrangements to get a plane from the MAT base near Nome to search for the dogs.
 It. Carlos O. Beasley piloted the plane which, was dispatched to the scene and Strong was the guide. The dogs were soon located on the ice floe, gnawing on the seal and oogruk Punguk had shot before fore discovering he was on broken ice cake. The dogs were put into coal sacks and flown back to Golovin.

New Regulations Will Bankrupt Independents

WASHINGTON (P)-Independ- ent air lines protested yesterday that new regulations laid down by the civil aeronautics board will knock them out of business.
 Chairman James Fischgrund of the National Independent Air Car riers' said the CABS action will jeopardize the life savings of hundreds" of World War II vet erans who turned their war flying experience into profitable busi- neSSeS.
 The CAB notified the large ir- regular carriers they will have to obtain individual licenses to fly after May 20. The board also said licenses will be issued only where it is demonstrated that a need for irregular air service exists.
 The irregulars use large-type planes in contract or charter serv- ice and are authorized to fly only on a on-scheduled basis, as dis tinguished from the timetable flights of the regular air lines.
 There are about no large irreg- ular companies. The CAB has said some of them maintain such regu- lar flights as to put them in direct competition with the scheduled flight companies.
 The CAB said "a substantial number of large irregular carri- CTS have attempted to comply" with the present blanket-licensing regulations. But it added that the plan has served as a cloak for op- erations which are not within the intent and purpose of the regula- ton.
 The board said it is revoking

 A top ranking nationalist gen. eral expressed fear the Reds may try a quick landing in this vicin- ity, trapping nationalist officials in the capital.
 The general feeling at the mo- ment is that Wuhu is the govern ment's weak point The river front there provides a good land ing area.
 Nationalist gunboats stood out in the Yangtze off Nanking firing upon communist troops attacking Kiangpu and other north bank points.
