It probably doesn't make any
difference to a thief but one OF
the most unprincipaled acts of
petty thievery was reported this
week by Ed Moos at the Legion
club in Hardin.
The March of Dimes coin coll
lector at the club was stolen
last Saturday night. The receipt
acle was thought to contain
about four CIR five dollars in
change donated TO the March
of Dimes. A small amount to
be sure, but we would think no
less of the culprit if it had been
a large sum.
The irony is that as long as
he is not caught he IS still
eligible for help from the March

The old difficulty is still with

Citizens have been asked
many times not to call the

making it impossible for fire

5-Day Railroad Week
Goes in Effect Today
For Nearly Million
By the Assoeioied Press

By the Asseeioied Press
The five-day week most other
American wage-earners have en-
joyed for years went into effect
today for nearly a million rail-
road workers.
It is a revolutionary change for
the rail industry, which must con-
tinue keeping the trains running
day in and day out every week
without halt.
The reduction from a six-day
week, effective last midnight, was
a long time coming for the mil
lion incorporating workers who
service and maintain the trains.
Under terms of an agreement
worked out between the rail unions
and carriers-based on recon-
mendations made by a presiden-
tial board last December-these
workers will get the same pay for
the shorter week that they got for
working six days.
To Keep Present Schedule.
William M. Leiserson, chairman
of the presidential board. said,
however. that the new f1ve-day
week rates will be about the same
as the average for factory work.
ers for comparable skills.
The trains are expected to keep
their present schedules. The sew
eral hundred thousand operating
workers, such as engineers and
firemen, are not affected by the
change. They are paid on a mile
age basis.
The railroads, given an eight
month notice of the new work
week, began in advance to cut
corners to save money. For in
stance, they closed many freight
stations and offices on Saturdays.
And many jobs are being mechan-
lied.
Economies in Effect.
Economies already put into ef-
feet. or in the process of being
made, are designed to hold to a
minimum any required additions
to the railroad working force.
The carriers at one time eSti-
mated they would have to hire
between 100000 and 100000 extra
men. Now the unions estimate the
number will be 100000 or less.
The change-over has concerned
the Post Office Department to the
extent that it has said it may
have to move more mail by air
and truck. particularly on week
ends when most of the non-oper-
ating workers will have their two
days off.
But the department is waiting
to see how the new arrangement
works out.
Get Freight Rate Boost.
AS to costs. the presidential
board estimated the shorter week
would mean an initial $3.50, 600, 900

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

The pinch of the coal and steel strikes grew slowly tighter today. There was little indication that the pressure would ease soon.

REPORT, MISSING
 PILOT SAFE, CAN'T
 BE SUB5TkNTIATED

ANCHORAGE. Alaska, Oct. a. LR-Hopes rose and then waned again for the safety of a pilot who has been missing for nearly seven weeks in the Alaska wilderness.
 The missing flier is Francis Brownfield.
 A report that he was safe in an isolated cabin near Tangle Lakes cannes from Amos Fleury of Copper Center. He said he heard it from an amateur radio report.
 A check of all available sources along the Richardson Highway failed to disclose any substantiating reports.
 One amateur radio operator said there was a remote possibility that Brownfield could have walked in- to mine near Tangle Lakes. The general belief, however, is that if he did the mine operator would have found some way to send word out or could have brought him out. The message was reported to have been heard Tuesday morning.
 Another member of Brownfield's party hiked to safety after gruel- ing "A days in the wilderness. He was Pat O'Donnell, who was left on river bar by Brownfield after a forced landing
 Brownfield's plane was found at North Susitna Lake week later, slightly damaged.

INDICTMENT
 OF AMT0RG UPS TENSION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-tR-In- dictment of Russia's famed Amtorg Trading Corporation and it's top officers as unregistered foreign agents appears certain to set off new tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union.
 The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury here and an- nounced by Attorney General Mc- Grath late yesterday. It charged the corporation and six officers with failure to register as agents of a foreign power in accordance with American law. The maximum penalty is a S10,0O0 fine and five years imprisonment.
 Washington officials promptly be- gan speculating on Soviet repris- als. The Russian embassy was reported to have lodged a formal protest with the State Depart ment and a Moscow propaganda blast denouncing the indictment was expected almost immediately.
 Shortly after McGrath made his announcement five of the Russians were arrested in New York and taken before a U. s. Commissioner, who held them under $15,000 bail each pending a hearing Wednesday on removal to Washington.
 The sixth Amtorg official--a vice president of the company-is i.i Russia.

 The Assembly must rule on whetn- CT Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary should be cited to the International Court of Justice as violators of their peace treaties.

DAYS OF '9S REPEATING
 WITH 'GoLD!'
Strike Made Near CireIe- Nuggets Big as Peas
 Reported Found

FAIRBANKS. Alasa, Oct. 23.-tA --"Goldl"
 The magic cry and magic word that brought prospectors, dance hall girls and confidence men to the Klondike in 1898, then sent them storming across Alaska to Nome at the turn of the century, was heard in Fairbanks again today.
 Nuggets the size of peas" were reported found earlier this week along the Yukon River in the Fort Yukon Circle area which hitherto has not been prospected. Fort Yu- kon is just north of the Arctic Circle.
 The discovery was said to have been made by Clifton Carol, a fish, erman, who went to the Yukon Riv- CT spot to pull his fishwheel from the water for the winter. He re- lated that he noticed several bright objects in the frozen sand and gravel on the axle wheel Closer examination revealed them to be nuggets.
 The news was brought here by Gilbert Lord, roadhouse operator: Jim Magoffin. bush pilot. and tho Rev. Edward Badten, flying mis- sionary for the Assemblies of God Church.
 The Rev Badten happened to | fly into the strike area few days after the Carol discovery. He. too, caught the gold fever and filed claim.
 Gold has been found for two miles. on both sides of the original strike," the Rev. Badten said. ''and from all appearances it's a big strike"
 Look For Big Strike
 He disclosed that gold banned from the Yukon shore had been taken south to Circle for assay. and there was pronounced good gold' by oldtimers. The mission ary asserted these old timers opin- ed that there's usually big strike where nuggets this size are found"
 The discovery. although taken quietly enough here, has all the
 elements of | Rex Beach thriller.
 According to Badten, Carol kept his find secret for several days, telling only his immediate family and close friends, who filed the first claims. The tip-off finally came, however. when samples were taken to Circle for assay.
 Since then miniature rush has sprung up for miles along the~river. IA camp of more than dozen tents mushroomed into being since midi week.
 Natives from both Circle and Fort Yukon are reported deserting their fishing and traplines and Hooking to the boom camp.
