SOviets Building
 Qualifications On YugOslav Borders

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, (P)- Yugoslavia charged Wednesday night that Russian troops have moved into neighboring cOmmun- ist countries to build up ''War- mongering" pressure against Mar shal Tito'S regime.
 The charges, printed in the of ficial newspaper BOrba, said Red army troops have moved into Ro- mania. Qualifications are being built under Russian supervision along the Yugosclav borders in Bulgaria, Hungary and Albania, the paper declared.
 Qn Athens, Well-informed in- telligence officers said privately that Russia has placed five divi- sions along the Yugoslav borders in the last month.
 CThese sources-American, Bri- tish and Greek-said Russia ap- parently feared that Tito was se- cretly backing plans for a revolt in the isolated Soviet satellite of Albania.
 Borba's charges were the most specific accusations yet made in the Yugoslav capital about Rus sian troop movements. Two weeks ago Tito accused Russia and her satellites of ''rattling their arms in an attempt to intimidate Yugo- Slavia
 The Borba report charged Rus sia had moved into Romania through Bucharest, with some small Red army units approaching the border toward Yugoslavia.
 The article said also that the cominform countries with Russian help were strengthening their bor- der guards and building trenches and bunkers all along their iron tiers with Tito-land.

Communication
Is this our much boasfed-of Lib erty, Justice and Equality?

Because one man Ventuured out into the wilderness at his own ex- pense and risk of life and limb, and staked mining claim in ac- cordance with the mining law, a privilege granted by the mining law, from which he receives no earnings nor other benefits, but spend his hard earned money to develop, to improve himself and his country financially, if it should happen to turn out to produce a profit, (records show that only one of three or four hundred proper ties developed becomes profitable mine) he is suddenly forced to pay a tax, which the other men, that sat home by the fireside and en- ioyed the fireside chats is not forced to pay.
 Why should the hard working enterprising man, the pioneer of the second largest industry in the United States be penallzed?
 The law does not consider that the average hard working prospec- tor is so tired at night he often falls asleep, against his will, with his clothes on, after his evening meal, which ha has to prepare himself often under all kinds of adverse conditions met with only on the trail.At high attitudes he mostly has to spend hours instead of minutes to cook his meals no matter how hungry he is. In the morning he often wakes up cold and stiff, but he must get up and go to work or move on even in bad weather as the elements have no mercy. When he returns to his cabin in the Fall he is so lean and tired he just cannot move for a week, and when he absolutely has

Tuna Found In North Pacific

SEATTLE, (P)-Tuna has been located as far north as the Wal ker Seamount area, 300 miles off BaranOf Island in Alaska waters, the research vessel Oregon learn ed on it's exploratory voyage.
 No tuna were found farther north, however, the U. s. fish and wildlife service reported Wednes- day on return of the vessel to Seattle.
 The craft, commanded by Capt. Sheldon w. Johnson, worked up the B. C. coast and into Alaska coastal waters. Some tuna were located off Cape Cook and Cape Scott, but they were moving fast, the fishery men said.
 Bait was a major problem, be- ing hard to find during the trip.
 Donald Powell, fishery engineer, and Henry Hildebrand, aquatic biologist, made the trip, which started August 8 to gain infOrma tiOn about abundance, range and commercial possibilities of Alaska tuna fisheries.
 Radio broadcasts were made to tuna fishermen when fish were spotted by the Oregon. Scientific equipment was tested during the trip. Data will be analysed and findings published to aid the in- dustry.

SCHOOL NOTES
HIGH SCHOOL

The Russian flag was lowered at Sitka on Oct. Is, 1867. The Stars and Stripes were raised amid the roar of cannonS firing saluteS. Oct. 18th has been called Alaska Day. The country was named Alaska from a native word mean ing great land or peninsula.
 Congress passed a law making it a district. On Aug. 24, 1912, it was created a Territory and the capital was changed from Sitka to Juneau.
 Alaska was purchased by the U. s. from Russia for $7,200,000. Alaska's flag consists of the Big Dipper and the North Star, all in gold placed on a field of blue. The floral emblem is the forget-me-not.
 ALASKA, MY ALASKA O, land of gold, sing to thee;
 Alaska, my Alaska;
 Thy snow capped peaks I love to
 see;
 Alaska, my Alaska;
 From Arctic Oceans frozen shore To Baranoff of Russian lore, Thy mighty rivers 1 adore,

 The President told a news con- ference he had no present plans for seizure of either industries and he still hopes that mediation will be successful.
 The sooner employers and em- plioyees come to a conclusion and go back to work, he said, the bet ter it will be for the country and. themselves.

 General Motors will feel the pinch by the end of the month as will Chrysler.

to move he can only move by stages the first few days. From there on it takes him about three or four months to get back into shape again if, he has not rup- tured himself or suffered other in- juries or is suffering from rheu- matiSm.
 No consideration whatever is given him by the law whether he is able to pay or not, nor is he al- lowed time until his claim is pro- ducing, but if he fails to pay the tax when due he must pay inter est and penalty besides, which is made a first lien on the property. If he fails to pay the lien they just foreclose on him, in short there is no human touch to this law. The attitude of it shows no respect for the man who has to work hard and sweat blood to earn the tax.
 Prospecting or developing a mining claim and experimenting are very much alike, if it does not turn out the money expended is a complete loss. The knowledge or experience gained belongs to the experimenter, he found 1t.
 Prospecting looks easy. but it is about the hardest work and life there is. Try it yourself; after a few years you would not be in clined to tax the poor proSpector to death, but throw that wicked law into the fire as hard as you possibly could.
 Why burden this man when he is already taking all he can carry, there certainly cannot be any lib- erty, justice and equality in such action.
 The Spirit and Intent of the mining law is apparently not to levy a stake tax or other fictitious tax on the generally poor prospec- tor as none is mentioned in the law; the $100 worth of assessment work or other equivalent value being considered sufficient.
 The good Lord in whom "We' trust Gas stated on, every silver dollar) always favors the hard working man, because he does good, the real purpose of life ITO Do" good to improve our souls while we are here, and punish the wicked ones regardless of every thing else.
 Did the Bill of Rights, that guar anteeS us freedom from oppressive taxation, go overheard with the sacred Monroe Doctrine?

Officers Club Bars Enlisted Men

BERLIN, (P)-The membership of Harnack House, fashionable American officer-civilian Club in Berlin, barred enlisted men as guests yesterday, although German girls are accepted.
 The vote to bar enlisted men was made at a heated meeting Wednesday night in which one faction, led by officers, outvoted a faction, led by civilians, 135 to 1O6.
 Civilian speakers conten d d that enlisted men should be ad- mitted as quests because German nationals, including frauleins, were permitted in the club.
 The opposition, consisting most ly of officers, objected. One lieu tenant colonel said he was willing to accept 90 per cent of enlisted men but objected to the other 10 per cent.
 "There are 10 per cent of en- listed men who do not know how to behave" he said. eve don't want these enlisted barbarians with officers and ladies'" .. The lieutenant colonel said he would resign if soldier guests were admitted.

Truman Onits Statehood Plea From Message

SEATTLE Pj-A special Wash ington correspondent for the Times said yesterday a number of Congressmen from the far west expressed concern over the Omis- sion from the Presidents state of the Union message on the direct plea for the speedy grant of state hood to Alaska and Hawaii.
 The President has made such a plea a part of all his former mes sages on the state of the Union.
 E. L. Bartlett, Alaskan Delegate, said he was confident the PreSi- dent had not altered his position on statehood.
 MT. Truman did, say he stands firmly behind his civil rights pro- gram, and Bartlett said this in cludes statehood for Alaska.
 There was just too much to be included in detail in his message and as he has previously asked for statehood for Alaska there was no need in repeating that request sep arately," Bartlett said.
 "The President, I am confident, is just as strongly in favor of statehood for our Territory as he ever was. feel he will reiterate that feeling before long.

"U. 5. Becoming Social Democracy Say Europeans

LONDON (P)-Western Europe, most of it under socialist control, yesterday interpreted President Truman's state-of-the- union mes sage as evidence the United States will move further to the left.
 And, generally, it was pleased, The communists were pleased, too but for a different reason. They seized upon the chief executives program as propaganda to prove social and economic backward ness in the United States.
 In Britain, however, the Inde- pendent-Liberal Manchester Guar dian cited MT. Truman's program as an indication that socialism is not the only path for the left.

COP Charges
 Democrats With Playing Socialism

WASHINGTON tP)-Democrat- ic leaders shrugged off Republican cries of socialism" yesterday as they opened a drive to rush the bulk of President Truman's tax welfare-labor program through Congress.
 With the idea that the first 100 days arc the easiest. administra- ton lieutenants charted swift ac- ton. They intend to have some of the wide range of White House proposals ripening into final form about the time MT. Truman takes the oath for full four-yera term January 20.
 Senator Lucas D.-IlD, the up coming majority leader in the Sen ate keynoted the hurry-up refrain.
 The Senate, Lucas said, twill proceed with all convenient speed"
 Republicans saw threats of na- tional bankruptcy in the Truman spending proposals. They blasted the Presidents idea for govern ment-built steel plants as social ism" They bemoaned his failure to ask for any savings in govern ment costs.
 The COP will get another crack at this latter subject Monday when MT. Truman submits to Con- gress budget expected to reach $41 300, 100000 for the year be- ginning July l.
 But general Congressional reac- ton indicated that MT. Truman stands a good chance of getting many of the things he proposed Wednesday in his personally-de- livered state of the union message.
 The chances for passage in some form looked good for:
