CONSPIRACY
 CHARGEI IS
 POPE
PdpaI Accusation Is Made Against Connie Lands
 Behind Iron Curtain
tBy the Associated Press)


 Pope Plus XII declared today an evil conspiracy has been formed against the Lord" in certain coun- tries meaning the Communist lands behind the Iron Curtain.
 The Vatican swiftly pointed up his meaning by pronouncing major excommunication against "all those who dared raise their hands against the person of tJoseD Cardinal Mindszenty" of Hungary, brought him to trial or participated in his infamous sentence"
 The Papal exhortation, calling for special masses on April 3, followed a similar accusation by the British foreign office that the Communist led countries of eastern Europe have started war on churches to stamp out theological opposition. The United States government. includ- ing the President, also has con- demned the Communist fig h t against church leaders.
 The Pope called for the special masses ito expiate the crime of the enemies of God" His message to Roman Catholic clergy around the globe came only four days afte, Cardinal Mindszenty was sentenced to life Imprisonment.

GAME COMMISSION
 MEETING CHANGED

k Due in part to delay in arrival of some members, as well as to the need for Clarence J. Rhode, Fish and Wildlife Service director, to take part in Monday sessions of the Alaska Field Committee, the annual meeting of the Alaska Game Commission will open Tuesday morning, rather than Monday. as planned
 Concurrently, all FWS personnel that can be spared from duty sta- tons will hold meetings here in their own fields.
 Through the courtesy of Gen. E. F. Twin.ng, Alaska commanding of- ficer, an Army airplane will bring all those coming from the Vest ward. Weather prevented their talk ing off today, but the group hopes to be in Juneau tomorrow.
 Those coming from Southeast Alaska probably will be aboard the FWS vessel Blue Wing, heading here with Service equipment, and due Monday.

Liquor Control BiH Meets Sudden D
ALASKA HOUSING AUTHORITY GIVES
 OUT ITS POLICY

The Board of Commissioners of the Alaska Housing Authority dur ing their regular session this morn ing reiterates that the following policy is the basic purpose of the Alaska Housing Authority and all functions and effort of the Author ity will te directed toward provid- ing the fullest relief to the critical housing problem of the Territory A statement released by the Board is as follows:
 Ut is the intention of the Alaska Housing Authority that every in- ducement and encouragement will be offered to private home builders in the production of standard mod crate rental and moderate cost homes in Alaska and that only after private builders are unable to meet the demand within a com- munity for moderate cost rental and sale units. will the Alaska Housing Authority construct homes with public monies taking into con- sideration. The basis of moderate cost as herein used will be cost at which the medium income group can afford to pay for rent or for the purchase of home, without
 jeopardizing other standards of living.
 Tt is the consideration of the Board of Commissioners of the AL aska Housing Authority that it will take the cooperation and united eff forts of private home builders and the facilities of the AHA to meet l, the critical housing problem for all communities in Alaska.
 "The policy Of the Alaska Hous- ! ing Authority is not to promote public housing, but rather to relieve 1 the critical housing needs through out the Territory of Alaska. Fol !; the past 8 to 10 years no appre- iciable quantity of standard homes {, or apartment units have heen con- structed in the Territory and yet ! our population has accelerated un- til present communities have in- creased as much as 600 percent. We have the problem of meeting the ! increased demands for new units !, and to eliminate the great abun- dance of substandard units; also : to meet the problems of housing ir our remote Yukon villages and the i Boring and Arctic Sea areas where
 no other contractural and supply services are otherwise available" The above policy differs rom the
 policy of local housing authorities
 in the states where their basic func-
 ton is to construct, operate ano
 manage public housing.

 NEW STORM
Cold Canadian Air Swoops Sou!h-BIizzards Again
 Block Highways
(By the Associated Press)

More than 4,000 persons are ma rooned by heavy snows in Califor- mia and Idaho today. In other parts of the storm stricken west strong northerly winds and colder weather dealt further damaging blows.
 A mass of cold Canadian air pushed southward over the north western part of the country and moved into northeastern Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and the Dako- tas. It headed southward and east and was expected to spread over Kansas, Minnesota and parts of Iowa and Illinois.
 Temperatures dropped and winds up to 40 miles an hour and gusts of 70 mph reblocked miles of the newly snow-cleared highways and rail lines. Some snow fell in the new cold belt.
 Four thousand dam workers liv- ing in trailer homes in the Feather River Canyon were cut off by heavy snow. They expressed fear their homes would be washed away if warmer weather set in or rains flood the river. A snowslide halted western Pacific rail travel between Quincy and Oroville.
 The food shortage became more critical for the 500 persons in Stib- nitz, Idaho, mining community which has been snowbound for more than a week. A National Guard transport plane planned to fly 4,700 pounds of food to the town today.

MEASURE IS POSTPONED IN HOUSE, 19-5
Wages and Hours Bill Ap- proved ' Tobdeeo Tax
 Measure Introduced

The Liquor Control Bill, which had short life expectancy at best after it's unfavorable report from the Public Welfare Committee, died suddenly and quietly in the House of Representatives yesterday after noon, just 10 days after 1t had been introduced there.
 Killed by the indefinite postpone- ment knife on vote of 19-5, the Control Bill caused little fuss when 1t made it's final appearance be-
 fore the House.
 Rep. Glen D. Franklin made the motion for indefinite postponemcnt and it was seconded by Rep. Frank Angerman. Reps. Beltz, Egan, F. L. Johnson, Heating and Pollard cast the only opposing votes.
 The bill has many good fea- tures,' Rep. Warren Taylor assert ed. He admitted, however, that public sentiment against the pro- posed control board had teen over
 whe.ming and that "it will proba- lily save time to get it out of the way and start over from the ground up.7
 i, FINAL VOTE TAKEN The final House vote was also taken during the afternoon on the Wages and Hours Hill after Rep.
 Marcus Jensen moved for re- consideration of his vote of the previous day.
 | The measure lost some support
 overnight and during the discus- ,,s.on and hearing of witnesses yes- terday. On Thursday it passed the House 22-2. Yesterday the vote was !, l6-8.
 l Reps. Barnes. Gundersen, Ipa- look. Jensen, F. c. Johnson, Misco- vich, Nolan. and Rydeen voted against passage of the bill. T. B. Erickson, executive secre- tary of the Alaska Territorial Fed eration of Labor, appeared before the House during the afternoon session and spoke in favor of the
 measure, pointing out that Con- gress will likely extend the cover age of the Federal Act to retail
 establishments. farms, executives
 and other groups not now covered by it.
 AN1EpKAN c~nprc Another witness was also called
 but Rep. Frank Angerman object ed that the House was out of step
 with the requirements of the law the hearing of witnesses. A reading of the appropriate sec- ton of the Compiled Laws con-
 vinced the Rules Committee that Rep Angerman had scored and 1t
 was decided that henceforth witt nesses will only te called before the , House when a resolution has been adopted to conform with the re- quirements of the Lobby Act. Witnesses may, however. appear before committees of the House or

GEN. GAFFNEY. DENIES ABUSE. IN px SALES
Claims Charges of Fourth Division Legislators
 Are Unfounded

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Feb. 12.- R,-Brigadier General Dale M. Gaffney, commander of Ladd Air Force base, today denied charges of three Fairbanks lawmakers on the floor of the territorial House that he tolerated abuses in the mlli- tary commissary sales at Ladd Field to the detriment of local mer- chants.
 General Gaffney also sent tele- grams to Warren Taylor, Mrs. Essie Dale and Glen Franklin, all Demo- crats, asking why those who know of illegal commissary traffic had not reported it personally to him.
 Replying to statement of Mrs. Dale that she has three cuts Of meat in her food locker as evidence that Fairbanks civilians may buy freely at Ladd commissary, General Gaffney said that due to the seri- ousness of the situation, he would like to know just when and through whom these transactions were carried out"
 DIAMOND SALE DENIED
 The General took issue with a remark by Representative Taylor that more diamonds were sold at Ladd Field post exchange before Christmas than in all of Fairbanks jewelry stores,' he cited post ex- change records showing a total o1 27 diamond sales for October, No- vember and December, which rep resented one-half of one percent oi the personnel authorized to shol at the Ladd Field exchange.
 He said all such sales were ir accordance with regulations, ane asserted post exchange and com missary sales during the past few months have been under 'clost surveillance, and every effort ha: been made by military authorities to stamp out illegal practices.
 Any knowledge of unauthorized persons buying Ladd Field supplies should be reported to Air Force authorities he said. Tt is the duty of every honest citizen to bring such facts to the attention of this headquarters

RHODE BACK FROM
 WASHINGTON FOR
 JUNEAU MEETINGS

Fresh from a six week trip large ly devoted to conferences and form al meetings, Clarence J. Rhode, Alaska Director of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service, is spending the weekend preparing for two inn portant meetings in Juneau.
 He will participate Monday in the session of the Alaska Field Com mittee. which opens that morning and, Tuesday. will be on hand for the annual meeting of the Alaska Game Commission. By his F.W.S. office of director of Region 6, he is executive officer and secretary.
 Rhode left Juneau early in Janu- ary, held a meeting in Seattle January on 1850 fishing regula- tions, then went to Washington, D. C., for the F.WS. directors conference representing all six re- gions.
 After this two- week session, Rhode remained another five days to take care of matters peculiar to Alaska.
 The Alaskan took time out to at tend the Presidential inauguration but was frozen out after half day!
 He reports shivering in the East and to New Orleans and back. He left Louisiana in sleet and snow, and arrived in Oklahoma City when the temperature was eight degrees below zero, with a 30-mile wind.
 At the directors request, Rhode visited bird refuges at the mouth of the Mississippi-to see the other side of the picture" of migratory fowl originating in the North.
 Leaving Washington, Rhode had gone to North Carolina to pick up new Grumman plane for FWS use here. He flew it for the remainder of his trip, until unable to land in Seattle.
 Rhode reached the West Coat via Albuquerque, N. M.. and spent a couple of days inspecting refuges in California.
 Over the Pacific Northwest, and unable to land at Seattle, Rhode set down at Ellensberg. But when he intended to take off. there was 60-mile wind blowing six foot ] drifts, and he couldn't even get the ship to the runway.
 He returned to Seattle by train, and to Juneau on yesterdays Pan American flight.
 Almost immediately, Rhode was in conference with Gov. Ernest Gruening, H. A. Dunlop and six halibut fishermen.
 Dunlop, with headquarters at the University of Washington, is di- rector of investigations for the International Fisheries Commission which administers the Halibut Treaty Act.
 1 He is in Alaska to get reactions of halibut fishermen for next sea-
 son, especially their opinions on the proposed season of ten days in each of three months, rather than a straight season.
 :, Dunlop conferred with Wallis George of the Juneau Cold Storage Company on the same subject last
 night and plans to go to Peters
 burg for further conferences, by first available transportation.

WASHINGTON Three distin- guished statesmen were on hand to greet the French Gratitude Train when it arrived in Washington Vice. President Barkley and his former colleagues, Senator Connal- y of Texas, Democrat, and Van denberg of Michigan, Republican.
 These three have served in the Senate together for more than quarter of century. Sometimes they have been on opposite sides of bitter political battles, but they have never let party politics in- terfere with personal friendship. They know each other as well as they know the Senate-which is better than almost anyone else in Washington. How much Senator Vandenberg knows about the early ooyhood of Senator Connally of Texas is his secret.
 But at the very conclusion of the ceremonies welcoming the Grati- rude Train. as the venerable Tom Connally took pair of shears and shipped the red, white and blue
