LIETUVIO
| S r A DIM A S

Jau pereitame DIRVOS nu-
merye trumpai praneseme, kad
lietuvis inzinierius LeOnas Stan
kus Kanadoje isrado nedegamus
dazus.
Siandien dar negalime numa-
tyti visos to isradimo reiksmes,
bet galime jausti, kad tas is
radimas gall padaryti istisa per-
versma visoje dazu pramoneje.
Mes toki dazai yra sena visq
statytoju svajone.
Ju reiksme galima spresti is
to, kad daugelis manu-, net is
nedegamos medziagos pastaty-
tu, labai daznai smarkiai nu-
kencia nuo gaisro vien tik to-
del, kad jie isdazyti dazais,
kurie liepsnai yra geriausias
maistas, kurie ne tik nesaugo
pastatu nuo ugnies, bet dar pa
deda ugniai plestis.
Tad galima suprasti, kokia
yra nauda is dazu, kurie ne
tik nepadeda ugniai, bet dar
trukdo jos pletimasi. Kuris sta
tytojas MEMORIES isdazyti savo
nanny kaip tik tokiais dazais?
Visai galimas dalykas, kad
dazu gamintojai lures pamesti
senus dazu gaminimo budus ir
naudotis lietuvio israstu recep-
tn.
Kaip pranesa Kanados ietu-
viu laikrastis "Nepriklausomoji

dazai jau yra bandyti. Ir paais-
kejo, kad tie dazai ne tik patys
nedega, bet ir lentele, jais nu-
dazyta, nebijo ugnies, lyg j
patti butu is nedegamos medzia-
gos. Tai yra del to, kad inz.
Stankaus israstiems dazams
skiesti vartojamas ne aliejus,
o kitas specialiai jo israstas
skystimas, kurio ugnis neima.
Inz. Stankus chemijos moks-
lus yra baiges Lietuvos Univer-
sitete. Prizes dvejus metus tarp
kitty lietuviu tremtiniu ir jis
atvyko j Kanada, kur gavo dar-
ba, kaip chemikas specialistas

daugybe paklausimu apie tuos
dazus, fabrikas rengiasi prade-
tt dideliais kiekiais gaminti nau-
JUS dazus, jis priimtas nariu j

Tai parodo, kad klysta tie,

RUSH FOR LICENSE
 PLATES ON TODAY

Although Territorial automobile license plates have been available for a month, many Juneauites fol- lowed the usual human nature" tactics, and waited until the last day.
 Since December 15, City Clerk Jack Popejoy and Mrs. Mildred Moody, assistant clerk, have had a slow business in that regard.
 At 10 o'clock this morning, 660 licenses had been sold
 Then the rush began. Both were kept continuously busy, with motor ists waiting in line at times.
 Both the Police Department and the Territorial Highway Patrol will enforce the law requiring 1949 plates, dependinp on whether the mctorist is within or outside the city limits.
 Legally, the plates should have Leen affixed by January l, but a two- week extension was given. Yes terday the City Clerk announced an extra hour (until 1 o'clock to- day) for the convenience of those in offices.

SEEK BLOCK OVER REPEAL
 I'll MEASURE
Senators Taft and Ives A. tempting to Stop Drive
 on Labor Law Changes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-tR- Republican Senators Taft of Ohio and Ives of New York today chart ed strategy to block the drive for outright repeal of the Taft-Hart- ley law.
 The goal of the COP team, as outlined by Ives, is to trim from the law certain features most objec- tionacle to it's administration foes, as we'll as some packers. President Truman has asked Congress to re- place Taft-Hartley with an i'm proved" Wagner Act he Labor Relations Law, passed in 1887.
 Ives told reporters that he sug- gested to Taft, a co-author of the controversial measure now on the books, that their starting point be a bill which the Senate Labor Com mittee approved II to 2 in l947.
 Ives said Taft raised no objec- tion."
 That measure became known as the Ives-Morse bill, when Ives and Senator Morse (R-Ore) joined with the committee Democrats to elimi- nate some of the more stringent provisions favored by Taft and cer- tain other Republicans.

 TAKEN OVER
Triumph of ComInies May Unsedi Chidng-Red
 Armies Move
(By The Associated Prcss)

Chinese Communists captured the great northern commercial city of Tientsin today. The triumph may Iunseat President Chiang Kai-shek, The Communists shelled Tientsin, which was described as a scene of death, fire and desolation. As they marched through the city of 3.000.- coo, they stopped and fired impu- dent rifle charges into the air re- fore the U. S. Consulate and the American information office.
 The victory fortified the Com munist peace terms which amount
 almost to unconditional surren- der. The Red radio blared out the terms again, including punishment of war criminals h eaded by Chiang, junketing the constitution |and government political party; splitting the army, severiny treat ies with 'imperl a istic powers which to Communists mean the U. IS. and other democracies; and the setting up of Communications hated government.
 Chiang's government d army toth appeared bankrupt. It is diffi- cult to see what he can do about the conquering Communists. The victory at Tientsin was cer- tain to have terrific repercussions in Ranking. the shadow capital which other Red armies are ap- preaching. It opened the way for !, all-out assaults on Peiping, Tangku and Taku, all invested by the Reds
 in the North.

GOVERNOR HOPEFUL, NOT OVERC0NFIDENT
 ON TAX PROGRAM

Gov. Ernest Gruening addressed the CIO Convention yesterday af- ternoon and praised the group for passing a resolution favoring State- hood. He outlined Alaskas history since the purchase and pointed out the neglect that has characterized the work of the Congress ln passing legislation for the Terri tory.
 He cited an insufficient basic tax system in Alaska as being a draw back to further progress Ill the Statehood movement. The Gov ernor stated this question of a basic tax program has been evaded since 1913, the year of our first legislature" Of the 18th Legisla- tive session, he said, T am hope ful but not overconfident that we will get a proper tax program out of this session"
 Two resolutions were passed at the convention yesterday. The first called for all locals, councils, and internationals in cannery work in Alaska to unite and participate in joint program for Alaskan can- nery workers in dealing with their employers. John Wiese of An chorage said that unified action was needed to end the discrimina- tion between the resident and non- resident workers in Alaskan can neries.
 Wiese stated that outside workers are hired with a 60-day work guar antee, whereas resident workers are hired on a casual basis. He said that good working arrangement has already been made between the ETA, which includes cannery workers in Southeast Alaska, and Local T. which is composed of non- resident workers. Local T has agreed to not sign its seasonal contract until the ETA in Alaska has completed negotiations on its contract.
 The Convention passed resolu- tion requesting that the CIO Ma tional appoint CIO representa- tive for Alaska Walter Pullman of Ketchikan was unanimously ap- proved for the position. The final decision on the representative rests with the National, which provides funds for the salary of the repre- sentative.
 Leonard Evans, representative of the U. s. Department of Labor, spoke briefly at the Convention. He presented the policies and plans of his agency.
