Unofficially, it was declared
that the British will not ease uI
in their preparations to meet

THREE MISSING IN ACCIDENT IN INTERIOR ALASkA

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 8-R Three sleeping bags, a can of gasoline and few water soaked cigarettes are the only traces found of an Episcopal priest and two boys missing since Monday night.
 An Eskimo boy, 17-year-old Thomas Tuzroyluk, said he was the the only survivor when boat swamped Monday night in the Panama river.
 Missing are the Rev. Robert H, Reid, Jr., priest in charge of St. Marks Episcopal mission at Ne mana; Enoch Tooyak, 15, of Point Hope and Teddy Mueller, 15, of Nenana.
 Young Tuzroyluk said the four were on hunting trip about 30 miles from Nenana when a large wave capsized their outboard motorboat. He swam to shore and could see no trace of the others when he looked back.
 The youth said he searched the river bank for mile eelow the scene and could find only the articles which had drIfted ashore from the swamped boat.
 He built a fire with the gaso- line, dried his clothes and hiked upstream until he found a cabin and a canoe. He padded 25 miles to Manley Hot Springs and re- ported the accident.
 Reid came here following gradu- at:on from Virginia Theological Seminary at Alexandria, Va, in June. l948. His wife is at Nenana, hopeful that the three may be marconed somewhere along the river banks.
 The river is full of treacherous undercurrents and quicksand and is 1000 feet wide at the place where the boat sank.
 Bob Byers and Al Wright, bush pilots, were at Manley when Tuz- royluk arrived and made an ex- tensive search last night. The Tenth Rescue Squadron put two planes into the area today.

WHAT IT MEANS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. -tR- President Truman signed bill yesterday to clear the way for the new business license tax law en- acted by the 1949 Alaska Legisla- ture.
 The new Alaska law was labeled as the uniform "catch-all" business license bill during the legislative session. It carried a proviso that it would take effect on the January l following congressional action and Presidential signing. That means it will go into effect next New Years Day.
 The business tax now in opera tion has been described by Gov ernor Gruening and Democratic legislators in Alaska as hodge podge' act. It was created under the Organic Act many years ago and proponents of the new law contend it fell far short of keep ing pace with modern business de- velopments.
 The new tax bases the levies on a percentage of gross business. It also will apply to professional men. The Territorial measure is Chap ter 43.

TRUMAN MAY ASK FOR fo-DAy TRUCE
 ON STEEL STRIKE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. --tR- President Truman said today he is considering asking another 10-day truce to avert a steel strike.
 The President told news con- ference he will decide about that when he receives the report of his special fact-finding board.
 The board, appointed to study the steel labor dispute, is to make its report Saturday.
 The CIO steelworkers have a strike call slated to go into effect at midnight next Wednesday.
 If MT. Truman asks postpone ment of the scheduled workout fos at least 10 days, one purpose would be to give the steel industry and union officials that much more time to study the boards report.
