PARIS MEET
 ENDS AFTER
 FOUR WEEKS
Results Announced : One Observer Says Cold
 War Remains Cold
(By Associated Press)

The Big Four Foreign Ministers are enroute home after completing four weeks of debate at Paris. They have agreed in principle on a treaty of independence for Austria and have decided on a policy of live and let live" in divided Ger many. These results were described as steps forward in the long stymied East-West relations.
 One observer said the Ministers had at least taken steps to see that the cold war remained cold. Deputy Ministers will continue to study the problems of Austria. Another meeting of the Ministers is to be arranged in September.
 Austria expressed some satisfac- ton over the result. Russia jetti- soned a Yugoslavia claim for a slice of Austrian territory. Pre- viously Russia had supported the Yugoslav claim. By dropping .he claim, Russia has again slapped down the Yugoslav government of Premier Marshal Tito.

CHARLES, WALC0TT FIGHT TOMORROW
 FOR CHAMP TITLE

CHICAGO, June 21.-lR-For the first time since Joe Louis cornered the heavyweight boxing market 12 years ago and whipped all corners, real even-stephen contest for the title has shaped up in the Ezzard Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott scrap tomorrow night.
 Although the bout has been dub- bed the slim pickins' heavyweight championship, it sincerely presents two fired-up contests who are not afraid of each and appear evenly matched.
 Louis, before he retired and toss- ed up his crown for the Charles Walcott winner, alway was an over- whelming favorite who usually came through right on schedule in cut and-dried fashion
 About the nearest he came to be- ing dismantled was by Walcott Ill December of 1947. Jersey Joe floor ed him and carried the attack through Is rounds only to lose a decision which still is mighty con- troversial.
 Walcott, the 35-year-old family man from Camden, N. J., and 27- year-old Charles, unmarried Cin- cinnati slugger who has lost only four times in eight years, are ex- pected to enter the ring at odds of about 6-5, take your pick.
 A definite swing to Walcott has been reported with the present odds dropping from 7-5 to 1910 for Ezzy, indicating Jersey sJoe's late support probably will send the two Negro heavies together at even money.
 Charles comparative youth is be- ing upheld by his packers as his most decisive advantage. Those who favor Walcott like his weight advantage of 195 pounds to Ezzy,s 18O.
 Walcott's only fight in the last year has been done in exhibitions. Charles has been busy leaving the light-heavy ranks which he domi- mated to knockout such 20O-pound- CTS as Joe Baski and Johnny Hay nes.
 The big question seems to be whether the aging Walcott, who has diligently done 300 miles of road work and nearly 130 rounds of sparring in preparing for his third crack at the heavyweight bauble. has enough gas to last 15 rounds in case there is no earlier kayo.

FEUD ON CATHOLICS
 STEPPED UP; CzECHS MAKE MORE ARRE5T5
(Bv The Associated Pressl

The Communist government of Czechoslovakia stepped up its feud with the Roman Catholic Church today. In the largely Roman Cath ollie province of Moravia numer- ous clergy and prominent laymen were reported arrested.
 According to one source Arch bishop Joseph Matocha of Moravia's second city. Olomouc, is under po- lice surveillance. A police guard was reported around the palace ot Archbishop Josef Beran in Prague.
 Churchmen describe the events as a government move to extermin- ate the hierarchy in Czechoslovakia and cut off all ties with the Vati- can. The government has set up a Catholic Action" organization which Archbishop Beran has de- nounced.
 The Vatican decreed yesterday that those voluntarily joining the government-sponsored Catholic Ac- tion" group would be excommuni- cated.

JOE EROSION
 PASSES AWAY IN SEAI1|,,LE | E
Famed Alaska pHa Dies Suddenly in His Office
 df Boeing Field

SEATTLE, June 21 tR--Joe Cross son, one of the most famed Alaskan pilots, died suddenly today in his office at Seattle's Boeing Field.
 He was one of the first of the famed Alaska bush pilots" who flew mercy missions to the widely scattered and isolated spots in the Northland. In 1885, he flew the bodies of Will Rogers and Wiley Post to Seattle from Point Barrow after they were killed in a crash of Posts plane.
 Between 1884 and 1914 he was Alaska Division manager for Pan American Airways. He resigned in 1944 and moved to Seattle to man. age the Northwest Air Service at Boeing Field
 He is survived by his wife and four children.
 Death was attributed to a heart attack. Associates said he had been in apparently good health.
 CrCSson was associated with Ben Eielscn, Father of Alaskan Avia- tion," early in his flying career. In 1880, Crosson searched for Eielson's missing plane, which was lost on a Siberia flight. Crosson found the wrecked plane and recovered Eiel- sons body.
 In 1927 Crosson was a pilot with the Wilkins Arctic Expedition. The following two years he went with Wilkins to the Antarctic.
 He was one of the first airmen to cross the treacherous Endicott Range on a flight to Point Barrow.
 Crosson had retired from active flying in recent years, but still flew occasionally The firm he di- rected is an air sales and service organization.

NEW DISCOVERY
 REPORTED MADE,
 MAlE-FUR-SEALS
By vERN HAuaLANp

WASHINGTON, June 2l -M-- Male fur-seals, in Alaska, have more vitamin A in their liver-oil than females do, the Fish and Wildlife Service said today.
 Generally speaking. it said, the older the seal, the greater the Vita min "A potency of the liver oil.
 And while most seals have little old fmaroon-colored livers worth about two-bits each, perhaps 10 percent have fat, yellow, oily flyers laced with up to $4.25 worth oi Vitamin A.
 Pale yellow flyers appear to be slightly richer in oil and "signific- antly greater" in Vitamin A potency than seal livers of normal reddish hue. the agency said. The service each year kills, pri- marily for their valuable furs about 65,0OO of the S,500,000 seals that summer on the Pribilof Is- lands.
 Blubher scraped from the skins is converted into oil. The carcasses themselves are processed into meal and oil. Average value of a. seal carcass in terms of reduction pro- ducts, f.o.b., Seattle: about $l.60. The service has feen wondering whether it would be profitable to render the flyers separately from the carcass, because of the vitamins in the liver oil.
 It assigned chemist F. B. San- ford and biologists K. w. Kenyon and V. B. Sceffer, from it's Seattle office, to investigate. They reported their findings in the services magazine. Commercial Fisheries Review. today.
 At the prevailing price for Vita min A--about Is cents per 1000, ,00C units-rthe average seal liver is worth about 25 cents, so little il is questionable whether the livel could be handled profitably under existing conditions" they said.
 Perhaps 10 percent of the total seem to be rich enough in Vitamin A to warrant commercial exploita- tion at present prices. The most valuable one examined contained $4.25 worth of Vitamin A."

 LABOR BILL
Various Proposals Made to Legis|dtion-Long,
 Delaying 0rdtory
By JACK RUTLEDGE

WASHINGTON, June 2l-lR-The Senate is making slow progress in its scrap over new labor legisla- tion. Consideration of minor bills delayed resumption of debate.
 Just when voting will begin on amendments to the controversial la Dor issue is uncertain. Some had predicted it would begin yesterday.
 But the various proposals for handling national emergency strikes have brought long and delaying or atory. These are some of the plans:
 l. Senator Morse (R-Ore) wants to rely on Congress to act in each separate strike that imperilled the national health or safety.
 Opponents criticize this sharply on the grounds that Congress is a political arena" that a filibuster could block action, that Congress is too slow, etc.
 Strike Curb Proposed

 3. Senators Doug las, D-IlD and Aiken (R-VD suggest govern ment seizure and operation of in- dustries up to 90 days, while an emergency board and the disputing parties arbitrate. Opponents say this is unsound and mot fair to labor, although some labor leaders have indicated willingness to &C., cept this plan)

 WASHINGTON An amazing story of Chinese bargaining between the U. s. and the U.S.SR. has been carefully hushed up by the State Department. At one time during the China war the Chiang Kai-shek government was almost on it's knees before the Soviet Ambassador to patch up deal with Russia-at the very same time it was yelling for aid from the U. s.
 The hithereo untold story began nine months ago, September 1948, when the Soviet Ambassador at Ranking suggested that the Nation alist government sign nonaggres- sion pact with Russia-including a highly important clause whereby, in case of Russo-American war, China would side with Russia.
 The Chinese Nationalists stalled their reply. Meanwhile, Russian pressure increased in Manchuria Finally, on Oct. II, Chiang Kali shek replied that China would ac- cept nonaggression pact providing it did not contain the clause put

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 IS DENIED
JudQe FoIta Rules Govern. ment Cannot Enter AL
 aska s Tax Case

Fifteen minutes after the hearing opened this morning on a motion by the United States Department of Justice to intervene for the Terri tcrial Tax Commissioner in the case brought by the Alaska Steamship Company, Judge George w. Folta firmly denied the motion.
 The hearing on the original case was May 5, on which date Judge Folta took it under advisement.
 Today, the court pointed out that the matter of filing for interven- ticn was discussed orally some three weeks ago.
 Then, on June 2, Judge Folta told Irwin Silverman. chief counsel for the Interior Departments Di- vision of Territories and Insular Possessions, that he could consider such motion only if made immed- lately, specifying that he meant within several days. The judge then suggested that the Department could file a brief for consideration with the case.
 The motion and petition for in tervention were filed yesterday.
 Judge Folta made it plain in court this morning that he did not consider 18 days immediate"
 In denying cne motion, Judge Folta said he did SO on grounds that it was too late, and was not in compliance with the courts sug- gestion. .sslssss,'.
 He further intimated that the in- tervening complaint did not estab- fish the interest of the United States in laws of the Territory, and remarked at one point that there was no precedent for such action.
 A official representative of the Justice Department, U. s. Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr., presented the main points of the petition for leave to intervene, and of the in- tervening complaint.
 The action was made at the re- quest of the Department of the In- terior, and claimed that the federal government has substantial inter est in the outcome of the litiga- tion. Invalidation of the statute involved, the complaint states, would seriously and adversely affect the whole economy of the Terri tory and immeasurably cripple the functions of the Territorial Govern ment territorial revenues would be considerably less than territorial obligations and expenditures; the Department of the Interior would be compelled to seek an appropria- tion from Congress to meet the deficit.
 The complaint states, too, that present litigation raised fundamen- tai questions with respect to the extent of the authority possessed by the legislature of the Territory of Alaska under the Constitution and the Organic Act of Alaska.
 In discussing the lack of timell- ness of the motion, Judge Folta commented that it came on the eve of his decision in the case.
 The Alaska Steamship case chal- lenges the validity of the new net income tax law. The court granted a temporary injunction April 28 against collection of withheld tax payment for the first quarter. The next installment will be due soon.
