FishwheeI Men Receive Assay But Reaction

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 29.-- R-Weather drew a tight curtain around the Fishwheel gold camp today, shutting off the reaction of taut- ut-tempered prospectors to all assay report that one of the orig inal nugget finds was brass.
 Heavy clouds blanketed the tent town approximately 165 miles northwest of here, holding more than dozen planes on the ground. They are the only means of get ting out word from the Yukon River "diggings."
 The planes flew in yesterday. all carrying copies of the Fairbanks Newsminer in which were printed lengthy accounts of University of Alaska geology Professor Richard Ragle's assay report
 Ragle looked over four nuggets that set off the aerial gold rush a week ago. The professor said one of them was brass, the others were gold. But, he added, some of the gold nuggets were shiny and worn as if they had been carried in "poke.' ....,.
 Dissatisfaction of tenderfeet and veteran prospectors over results of their search for gold in the Yukon sands was reported yesterday turn ing into an ugly mood. Several men, openly skeptical over the validity of first glowing reports from the area were said to be near the "fis, fight stage"

The W Washington Merry Go Round
Rv DREW PEARSON


 tcopyrisnt. 1e4e, by Bell Syndicate, Inc, WASHINGTON Here are some of the things that are taking place backstage in the steel-strike dis cuSsfons.
 1. Inside the steel companies: The major companies are divided re- garding the contributory or non- contributory pension plan. Inland steel already has a good pension plan. while Jones and Laughlln, together with Bethlehem favor a pension plan whereby labor does not contribute, for the following reasons
 Only 10 percent of the workers continue in their employ until they reach the age of 65. When they leave before that age under a worker-contribution plan, they take their contributions with them, which entails complicated book keeping. But when they do not contribute, the amount set aside for them by the company stays ln the fund and mounts up. Thus the company, over the years, contribut- es less and less money.
 Flatly opposed to Bethlehem, Jones and Laughlin, and Inland is the giant of the industry, U. s. Steel, which sets the competitive pace. Despite all arguments, U. s. Steel has held out against com pany-c contributed pension-plan - chiefly as a matter of principle. It claims that labor should not get something for nothing, that la bor should contribute at least a small part of the pension.
 Possibly this view is influenced by the fact that directors of U. $. Steel include heads of other com- panies-Walter Clifford, of Ameri- can Tel and Tel; Sewell Avery, of Montgomery Ward and U. s. Gyp- sum; James Black, of Pacific Gas and Electric-which might be af- fected by any pension precedent set for the steel industry.
 2. Inside the White House-Pre- sidential advisers have discussed with Truman the idea of invoking the Taft Hartley Act, but he is opposed for this reason:
 The United Steel Workers all ready have suspended strike for TT days at his request-practically the equivalent to the 80-day sus- pension possible under the Taft Hartley Act. If the President now invoked the T-H Act, it is feared labor might refuse to obey the in junction. And if half million men refused to obey their government, the nation would face not only a breakdown of deraocracy, but rev. erberating ammunition would be handed to Moscow for. use in ev- cry country in the world.
 Furthermore, the Presidents fact finding boards recommendations have been accepted by the union though rejected by management. That is why other White House friends, including Mayor David

Trial Reporting Accurate,
British Journal Asserts

LONDON. Feb. II (P.-The
periodical Newspaper World said
today correspondents gave a true
account of Cardinal Mindszenty's
trial in Hungary.
The independent weekly said in
an editorial:
The refusal of facilities to cer-
tain correspondents inevitably
raised suspicious that the country
had something to hide and in the
circumstances newspapers and
radio were right to be on their
guard.
But the evidence is that, what
ever aspects of the trial may be
open to criticism, the accuracy of
the reporting of what did take
place is not one of them.
ITO suggest otherwise is to ques-
tion-among others-the integrity
of the British and American news
agencies which have been willing
to lend their names and reputa-
tions to the distribution of the
reports. without expressing any
doubt about their accuracy"

would come first. In general. the
Capitol reception given Mr.. Tru-
mans call for quick action on a
$4,000,000,000 tax increase was
chilly.
Boost Would Be Beaten Now.
1t apparently is generally agreed
that a $4,000. 100000 tax increase
would be defeated quickly if
brought to a vote at this time.
But If appropriations for the
next fiscal year exceed anticipated
revenue under present tax statutes,
a tax increase would have a much
better chance. Some committee
men are more opposed to the
Treasury operating In the red than
they are to tax increase.
Mr.. Doughton, for instance, has
taken the stand that tax legisla-
ton should wait until there are
figures on Government Spending.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee decided to take up first the ad-
ministration proposals for in
creased social security assistance
to the needy aged. the blind and
children.
Under this program the Federal
Government makes direct grants |
to the States for payments to
these needy persons. The States
also contribute to this fund.

broadcast September IL.
The suit was filed on the ground
Miss Bentley repeated on the pro-
gram charges she made on Capitol
Hill against Mr.. Remington. Her
testimony before Congressional
committees was immune to such
an action.
The attorney made public the
brief filed on behalf of his client
with the Review Board. which
listed positions taken by Mr.. Rem
ington on public issues wholly
contrary to the party line" as
including the following:
In 1939-41, opposition to the
Nazi-Soviet pact: 193a-40, support
of Finland against Russia: l939-41.
support of aid to Britain; 1912,
participation in developing and
supporting the controlled mate
rials plan; 1945. opposition to the
Morgenthau Plan; 1916. support
of wage controls as correlative
of price controls; l947. support of
the Greek Turkish aid program;
l947, support of the Marshall Plan:
1947. support of the loyalty pro-
gram, and 1948. support of curtail-
ment of exports to Russia and the
satellite countries
In a footnote. the brief said 1t
was not meant to suggest that
every one who held those party
line" views was a Communist or
fellow traveller.
Mr.. Rauh said 100 or so persons
came to Mr.. Remington's support.
The brief included statements in
his favor by Robert c. Turner,

The brief analyzed what 1t
termed the Inconsistencies in
Miss Bentley's testimony. Her
testimony related to time when
Mr.. Remington was an employe of
the War Production Board.
Regarding her statement that
she had collected Communist
Party dues from Mr.. Remington.
the brief asserted she said she
brought receipts back for the
dues which she collected from
different people but never sug-
gested she gave Remington any
such receipts
Did Not Even Know Job.

Remington became unwilling" to
give her information and added,
This hardly squares with the
Communist theory of discipline"
Miss Bentley. the document con-
tinued did not even know what
Remington's job was despite her
claim of familiarity"
The brief said Miss Bentley
failed to give any explanation
why Remington was not a member
of any Communist or subversive
group, or why he didn't have any
such associations"
