Red Cross Aids Fit. Yukon Natives

FAIRBANKS, (P) - The Red Cross disaster committee here as- sembled food, clothing, cooking utensils and medicine to be para chuted on Fort Yukon.
 That Indian village on the Arc tic Circle, was flooded Friday as the result of ice jams in the swol- len Yukon river.
 Meanwhile planes from Ladd air force base were dropping bombs on new ice targets which were threatening the villages of Beaver and Panama.
 Water fell rapidly five feet and receding at Fort Yukon after 24 quarter-ton bombs cleared the river ice.
 Some 182 villagers waded back to their homes Friday night after spending an uncomfortable night on a wooded knoll where they were driven by the sudden rise of the river.
 Two mustangs and one B-17 from Ladd were bombing the Beaver and Panama ice jams in an effort to prevent a repetition of the Fort Yukon flood.
 The same tactics were planned for McGrath, on the Kuskokwim river, and Ophir, on Folger Creek, 50 miles north of here.
 The Red Cross asked the tenth rescue squadron to parachute emergency supplies to Fort Yu- kon, where no household escaped damage. Radio reports said most "lost everything"
 Despite the suddenness of the flood, no casualties were reported.

KuskOkwin Rises; Evacuate Aniak

FAIRBANKS, (R - Villagers were being evacuated from flood ed Aniak last night by an amphib- ian Seabee plane, bringing out six at time.
 The population of the village, 100 miles southwest of here, is about 200. The flooding Kusko- kWim river, which flows into the Boring Sea to the south of the Yu- kon River, was reported rising a foot an hour.
 Poor flying weather halted ef- forts of army air force planes to bomb huge ice jam on the Kus- kokwim. The jam has created the worst flood in the history of Alas kan native villages.
 Bombers from both Ladd and Elmendorf fields were prepared to take to the air again to blast the ice as soon as the weather clear ed. The CAA radio range station at Kuskokwim went out of com mission late yesterday, indicating the seriousness of the situation.

Nome Breakwater Bill Back To House For Approval

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senate Democratic leader Lucas said Sat urday there will have to be either tax increase or a cut in federal spending-preferably the latter.
 But he made it clear he still is against the Republican-led drive so far unsuccessful - to trim each appropriation bill by at least five per cent.
 That economy move was block ed for the fourth straight time late Friday when the Senate, by voice vote, passed and shipped back to the House a bill carrying $751 ,0O0, ,000-Nearly all of it for flood control and river and harbor projects.
 The Senate total is $158,OOO,0OO more than the House voted and $21 100000 less than President Truman wanted.
 The Senate batted down a pro- posed five per cent cut in it's fig ure by vote of A to B. It killed a 10 per cent reduction amend ment, 48 to 29. And it swamped, 59 to Is, a proposal by Democratic Senator Douglas D.-IllD to slash the fund 40 per cent-by $3OO,- OO8,OOO.
 Alaska projects included in the bill were: Nome Harbor, $7O1 ,OOO; Wrangell NarroWs, S343,OOO.

Street fighting broke out in Berlin today even as Big Four foreign ministers assembled in Paris for new attempt to settle the whole German problem.
 Hundreds were beaten in the Berlin clashes between striking anti-communist railway workers and Soviet-controlled railway po- lice. Young communist strike breakers supported the police at nearly a dozen stations of the mu- nicipal elevated railway.
 The strikers, residents of West Berlin, are demanding payment in West marks, the only legal curren- cy in West Berlin. The railways are Soviet zone controlled and the men have been paid in Soviet zone marks which have only a fraction the value of West marks.
 The strike blocked all incoming allied supply trains from Western Germany.

James V. FOrresta1: Former Navy Secy. Dies; A Suicide
tBY Elton C. FaY)

WASHINGTON, tR A naval board of inquiry was ordered to- day to inquire into the suicide Of 57-year-old James Forrestal, but his friends among the nations great wrote their own verdicts:he died because he worked so hard for his country"
 Forrestal, cabinet member un- der Presidents Roosevelt and Tru- man, ended his own life early Sunday morning by leaping from the 18th floor of the navy's tower ing hospital in Bethseda, Md. He left as his only farewell an an- cient Greek poem of despair and death.
 He was the first secretary of de- fense-a wearing job that he gave pu as a sick man in March. Before that, he had been secretary of the mightiest navy the world has ever seen, and before that he had serv- ed as an assistant to Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House.
 This spring, his health broken by more than nine years of nerve wracking service, he decided to seek release from the strain. A few days in Florida after his resig- nation, and then he entered the hospital April 2.
 His death and the manner of it shocked the Capital.
 President Truman said "This able and devoted public servant was as truly a casualty of the war as if he had died on the firing line" He issued a proclamation ordering that flags fly at half staff from all public buildings, forts and warships.
 So far as was known, the for mer secretary left no note.
 But on a radiator, near his hos pital bed, was found a book, "An Anthology of World Poetry" A red ribbon lay between the pages opened to Sophocles' Chorus from Ajax That poem tells of pro- found and hopeless tragedy.
 In the back of the book was a piece of hospital memorandum paper on which Forrestal had cop- jed, in firm hand, the first 26 Continued on Page Five)
