Smash Blow Struck, How ever, Against Setting
 Up Commie State
(By the Associated Press)

Finland's government, determined to smash a strike offensive it says is aimed at setting up Com munist state, cracked down today on strike leaders while the Reds shouted defiance.
 The chairmans of the City Council at Kemi, fountainhead of the snow balling strike movement and arena of its first violence, was arrested. Another City Council member was reported in custody The Council chairman, Jahja Heikkilae, was des- cribed as a leader of the Kemi strike call.
 Police and strikers exchanged fire yesterday in Kemi, northern lumber town. The first Finnish Infantry Station at Oulu, SO miles away, said a striker was killed and nine persons, including three police, were injured.
 Communist leaders said the strike movement would grow. Aimo Aal- tonen, Communist member of Par liament, said '"The working class should more firmly than before continue their fight for better wag- eS.'
 Moscow Cheers
 Moscow cheered from the side lines. The Communist party news paper Pravda, which has stepped up attacks on Finland recently, proclaimed that strikewave was crippling all Finland with lCC per cent support from the workers.

pR05pE(T5 BRIGHTEN
 FOR LOAN
Roden Is Negotiating with New Interests for Aid
 10 Territory

Treasurer Henry Roden today saw a ray of light to brighten the gloomy picture of Territorial finan- ces.
 We are negotiating with other interests the Treasurer said this morning, and we hope to get the loan elsewhere, now that the first try was unsuccessful.
 Let's forget the past, and look ahead"
 Like the loan originally propos- ed, it would be for $1,000,000, he said.
 Records in the Auditors office show that, after payments this week of some $200,00O, there are current outstanding warrants today amounting to $424 ,335.95. All but approximately $125,0oo are newly incurred obligations.
 In round figures, Asst. Auditor N. F. Moore estimates that all expen- ses, including vouchers now held in the Auditors office, would amount to approximately $4,600,000 by Jan- uary 31, the date on which it is proposed to repay the loan. Tax Commissioner M. P. Mullaney's es- timate of sure revenue is 500,0O0, leaving the difference between the Territorys anticipated expenses and certain revenue $2,100,00O.
 In his figures, Commissioner Null laney does not include any tax revenues which are or may be in controversy-such as the income and property measures passed by the 1949 Legislature.
 Treasurer Roden declined to iden- tify the "other interests with which he was negotiating. It is understood that he and other Ter ritorial officials conferred yesterday and today with financial represen- tatives from outside.
 Henry Roden, who has been in the Territory 54 years, made com- ment typical of the Sourdough spirit:
 I've been in some pretty bad holes." he said, "apd so has the Territory. There's never been one we couldn't pull out of. That's going to be true this time, too.
 We are going to pull out"

 Take a map and look for your self at the location of Seattle on the great circle air route from Eastern Russian bases" he said. We know that Russ.a has B-29 type long range bombers.'

The W WaShinqton Merry Go Round
By ROBERT s. ALLEN, Substi- tuting for Drew Pearson, Who
 Is On Annual Vacation. tCopyright. 1s49, by Bell Syndicate. Inc. )

WASHINGTON - A high U. s. official just returned from tour of the Middle East reports one outstanding impression.
 It is this:
 That, amid the welter of assassin ation, intrigue and autocratic rule in this ancient cockpit, the pres- tige and power of the United States stands out like gleaming beacon.
 The official related this epi- sode to prove his point:
 Following the attempted staying some months ago of the Shah of Iran. he imposed iron-handed mar tial rule. The Iranian press par ticularly felt the weight of the Shah's fury. Seventeen liberal, non- Communist newspapers were suppressed and their editors were thrown into jail. He also or dered them tried on charges of subversive activities.
 To support these charges, articles

ulcers or TO drive them into early,
happy graves. That he should
ever be the man in charge OF
anything that comes out of a
printing press was a cosmic joke.
1t is not that editors cannot be
and are not-all types Of hui
mans. but rather that Charley ap-
proximated none of the types
known through the eccentric his
tory of publishing.
This, you see. was the man who
co-authored THE Front Page" a
play Of some years ago whose IA
NOUS unprintable curtain line
paid all reporters unprintable
tribute to editors. That Charley
should end UP among these nat
ural enemies of his nature was
funnier than anything in "The
Front Page" and no one knew
1t any better than Charley.
1t Is one of the sad truths of
existence that no laugh lasts for
ever. This one was no excep-
ton. In due course. therefore,
every one had to go on from
there. But where to go? Once
every one had declared himself
that Macarthur as an editor was
uncomfortable, 1t was sheer folly
to try to conceive how the opera
ton might turn out.
This left nothing to do but wait
for results.
Frankly, these were not imme-
diately sensational. The first
Macarthur issue of Theater Arts
certainly was not the sort of thing
to justify any one having waited
for it with bated breath. 1t may
indeed have been the dullest per-
formance in Editor MacArthur's
career. No one was disturbed. ex-
cept possibly the new editor him
self. 1t was the kind of maga-
zine that might happen to any
man who, after all those years.
found himself enslaved by a
calendar or a publication date.
Subscribers, quite reasonably, ex-
pect something for their money.
Once he fixed himself in rela-
ton to this fact. Editor Mac
Arthur began working with inspir-
alton on seeing that this some
thing" was a better magazine
from month to month.
AS the most unkempt. best
dressed man in publishing. he be-
gan approaching his erstwhile fell
lows in the writing business. His
appeals to their better natures for
some of their better material were
persuasive things which gave the
table of contents more and more
exciting names. As a good editor
should, he began to think OF spe-
cific stories for his better writers
to turn out for his magazine.
Along with the improvement In
its editorial texture. the iliustra-
tions began to look alive, to sug-
gest that they were dealing with
material that was In It's very ma
ture dramatic.
The sum of all this energy Is a
Theater Arts magazine that In
May 1s49 is a lively credit to 9
lively art by an editor who once
struck every one as too lively to
be pinned down to any such rou-
tine as this.
In a way, however. there still is
something inconceivable about the
whole thing that has happened
