THE GROWING BEAR

Judging by comments heard in many
places in Key West yesterday, many hun
dreds of residents listened last night to
Winston Churchill's address in Boston
Gardens. And those who listened reached
this conclusion Churchill regards the Rus
rians with contempt they deserve from
every freedom-loving man.
Besides, he does not fear Russia. It
was easy to determine, after he had spoken
about the North Atlantic Alliance, that the
Western Powers are fully capable OF TAX
ing care Of themselves. The final statement
in his speech inferentially showed his atti-
tude toward the Soviets. Fear God-and
nobody else" Churchill doomed, and his
listeners in Boston Gardens cheered long
and Justify.
He asserted that the atomic bomb is
holding Russia in check. but we do not be-
lieve that, were there no atomic bomb,
Russia would dare to start war The his
tory of the Russians bear out that
statement. They feared the Germans to
the point of horror. Soviet rulers, just be-
fore the end of the first World War, had
supinely agreed to territorial concessions
to the Germans after the Russian forces
had been torn into shreds by the Germans,
under Marshall Won Hindenburg, in the
Prepet Marshes.
But the Russians in that day are just
the same as they are today, and always
have been. When the Allied victory along
the Western Front resulted in compelling
the Germans to return to the Russians the
territory they had given up, the people of
Russia were told by their rulers that the
Soviet forces had administered singing
defeats to the Germans. And the Is men
in the Kremlin are still telling the slow
thinking, Flooding Russian people that the
Soviet armies alone beat the Germans in
the second World War.
The Kremlin gang fears the English
also. but the greatest fear is entertained to-
ward the United States. They are acutely
lion this country advanced to the Russians
in supplies during the second world war,
the Germans would not have been stopped
at Stalingrad American tanks, planes,
bombs and guns of all types were used by
the Russians to hold up the Germans
Those Is men in the Kremlin marvel
at the inventive and industrial genius of
the United States. That is why, in keeping
their dull-minded hordes under control
they claim that Russians produced every
invention of any consequence in the world
today.
The numbering Russian bear is forever
growing in it's own den. like a rooster
Growing on it's own dunghill.

ing to swim

and nets vagrant fish trying to swim
past.
Nuggets Like Peas
Carroll saw several bright objects
in the frozen sand and gravel on the
axle of the fish wheel. Examination
proved them gold nuggets "the size of
peas"
Word spread as such news always
does and natives quit their traplines
and fishing to stake claims An aerial
exodus got underway from Fair
banks. Gold fever touched almost all
walks of life. Construction and itin-
Grant workers whose jobs were near
ing the seasonal end quit in droves to
hurry to the strike area and file
claims.
The usual bush traffic to Fort
Yukon and Circle used to be only
one or two planes daily. Fares for
the comparatively short flights ordi-
narily cost 500 round trip or $50 one
way but these scared as frantic pros
pectors bid for seats.
Actual value of the strike can't be
assessed until after the spring ice
breakup. The present rush is prima-
rily for stalking claims which will be
worked next year when warm
weather returns.

The Rush Is On

The Rush Is On
Alaska's newest gold rush is on.
Planes are leaving Fairbanks almost
hourly for little tent town on the
Yukon River just below the Arctic
Circle.
The tent town is Fishwheel. It
didn't exist a fortnight ago. This
week tents lined the river bank for
eight miles. 1t may be a thriving city
by next spring, which is probably
the earliest prospectors will know
whether the strike is really a bonanza
or bust. At $35 an ounce, though, it's
a worthwhile gamble.
The discovery was made by Clifton
Carroll, a fisherman, who went to
pull his fish wheel from the water for
the winter. It was on a sandbar in
the Yukon, about midway between
historic Fort Yukon and Circle. A
fish wheel is a primitive trap like a
water wheel but with nets instead of
paddles. 1t revolves in the current

SPANDAU: An Exclusive Jail

$1O7,10 a year for maintenance of
the prison and its civilian staff.
Last week, Ernest Reuter-, mayor
of west Berlin, formally protested the
extravaganza. He said the seven Nazis
could be kept in an ordinary Jail for
5000 marks ($1,S04) a year.
Military officers of the four powers
suggested one immediate economy at
Spandau. They recommend that only
one cell block be maintained in oper-
ating condition instead of the. entire
prison.
In addition to Hess, the high Nazi
prisoners are: Walter Funk, Reichs-

Arms Aid
For Pact

DEFENSE ministers of the
II North Atlantic Pact countries
will convene in Washington De.
cember to lay before the Presi.
dent an integrated defense pro-
gram.
This grand strategy blueprint for
hating the Communist threat in Eu-
rope is the work of many experts
from many countries for many
months.
Not until the President approves
it can any of the American arma-
ments, authorized by Congress under
the $1,314,O10,OOO military assistance
program, be shipped abroad.
Secret Plan
To speed final accord, group Of
US. military experts will leave short
ly for Europe bearing a secret plan
for distributing arms among members
of the mutual-aid alliance. This top
secret document was drafted on the
basis of detailed studies by the mill
tary chieftains of each of the recipient
nations.
One factor that may cause changes
in this plan is the drastic slash that
Britain made last week in defense
appropriations in an effort to ease her
critical economic problems.
Actually, military experts say. the
$l,S14,0l0,000 authorized by Congress
for the arms-aid program is Just
starter. Further substantial sums will
have - be provided in the years
ahead.
European members of the pact get
$1,000, 100000 Of the total, plus nearly
half billion dollars worth of surplus
American military equipment.
Narvik to Sicily
This billion dollar fund-to be aug
mented by contributions of the Euro
pean members-is expected to equip
initially force of about is divisions
to protect line running from Nor
ways Arctic frontiers to Italy's boot
in the Mediterranean.
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of
the us. Joint Chiefs of Staff, has
estimated that about so divisions
would be needed to stave off an at
tack until further reserves could be
. mustered. The general estimated that
Russia now has about IT'S combat
divisions which could be increased
to 502 within a few months.
A Senate appropriations subcom-
mittee is now on an inspection tour
of western Europe, conferring with
defense officials. One of their stops
was in Madrid where they talked with
Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
The Franco Case
Observers, both here and abroad
have noted a renewed drive to bring
Spain into the pact.
During Senate debate on the pact
the Truman Administration went out
of its way to make clear that while
it is opposed to restoring full diplo
matte recognition to Spain, the ques
tion of Spain's inclusion in the de-
fensive alliance would have to be
determined by her European neigh.
bors.
