Russia and five other Eastern European nations set up Council of Economic Mutual Assistance y It appeared to be a sort of East ern European Marshall Plan struc- ture
 It seemed largely a window dress ing device since the countries are linked with extensive trade treat ies All are subservient to Moscow An interesting feature was the ex- clusion from the council of Yugo- slavia, whose Premier, Marshal Tito, has been branded as a stray from the party line.
 Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Ru- mania, and Czechoslovakia joined Russia in forming the council. All have Communist governments. The announcement said the United States, Britain and other western nations are 'in essence boycotting trade relations" with the Commun- ist countries. No mention was made of the trade agreement that Britain signed this month with Poland

IuNEAU'5 SCHOOL
 COST PER PUPIL
 X 11TH LOWEST

The bienniel report of the Terri torial Commissioner of Education just released reveals that the Ju- neau schools were eleventh among the thirteen largest Alaskan schools operating both elementary and secondary schools in the cost of education per pupil enrolled dur ing the 1947-48 school year.
 Juneau schools operated for s237.50 per pupil as compared with an average cost of $261.22.
 Hoonah is actually the twelfth largest school but since it operates only an elementary school its cost of S16l.35 is not comparable with those listed below.

Memorials
 Introduced
 In House
By JAMES HUTCHINSON

Two memorials were introduced in the House today during it's brief session before meeting with the Senate to hear the Governors message.
 One was in behalf of non- scheduled air carriers; the other directed against the firms and associations represented by w. c. Arnold and Al Anderson.
 The latter memorial, by Rep. AL fred Owen, Jr., Kodiak Democrat, referred to Arnold and Anderson as longtime lobbyists" for the fishing and mining industries, re- spectively. It cited that both rep .rosentatives had filed reports since l945 under the lobbyist registra- tion law, but that the auditors files fail to show that the requir- cd reports have been filed by the companies or associations which they represent"
 It asked a House investigation.
 Arnold, managing director of AL aska Salmon Industry, Inc. re- turned to Seattle last weekend. Anderson commented that he had complied with all the registration and report requirements and al- ways has believed, and still be- lieves, that all provisions of the law have been met insofar as his activities are concerned He is sec- retary of the Alaska Miners Asso- ciation.
 The other memorials, HMJ2, was introduced by Rep. Stanley Mo- Cutcheon, the House Speaker. It petitioned for the Civil Aeronautics Beard to exempt non-scheduled Alaska air carriers from the pro- posed revision of economic regula- tons 2921 because the revision, if applied to them, would drive many oi them out. It suggested that if they could not be exempted that the entire general revision be re- jectcd. The memorial emphasized that under Alaskas s limited trans pCrtation services, the non-schedul- d carriers are indispensable.
