0vERCR0WDIN6' IN 5ITKA SCHOOLS IS
 REPORTED BY RYAN

The children of Federal employ ees who do not pay taxes to the school district are causing over crowding and financial difficulties in the Sitka schools.
 This condition was reported by Territorial Commissioner of Edur cation James c. Ryan, who re- turned from an inspection tour Of Sitka schools recently.
 At present the staff at Sitka, with Theron J. Cole, superinten- dent of schools, is doing a whale of job under adverse conditions D Ryan said
 But he pointed out that the fin- ancial burden on the schools, caused by an influx of children of the employees at Mount Edge cumbe school and hospital, has made necessary a sales tax in the city and has caused an overcrowd- ing of the schools.
 Ryan said that there is a great need for school building in the city. He met with the city council and school board in Sitka to dis cuss the problem of overcrowding.
 At the present time no nelp is given local schools by the Federal Government even though children of non-taxpaying Federal employ ees cause financial difficulties for the schools.
 Hopes for improving this condi- tion are pinned to HR. 4115, a proposed Congressional bill on which hearings will be held in Se- attle November IS and 16.
 Ryan will go south for the hearing.
 He said the bill would give aid to Territorial and district schools overburdened by the childen of tax-exempt Federal employees.

perienced that the good faith of Soviet Russia can be accepted. She has with regularity broken her treaty pledges, by conscious and obvious misconstruction of terms. Usually Russian proposals with regard to disarmament are aimed toward the elimination of the Am erican stockpile of atom bombs. The Baruch Plan on this score required inspection and international con- trol which the Russians rejected. At no time have the Russians been willing to provide adequate data
 on their military establishment, although ours is so much public property that the Navy and the Air Force are fighting the next war in the newspapers.
 As an example of Russia's dila- tory tactics. as far back as Novem- Der 1946, Mir Noel-Baker on be- half of Great Britain proposed that all members of the United Nations should report their troops and bas- es abroad and their troops in the regular armies, etc. Molotov had asked for limited data; Noel Baker proposed that all the data be made available. This Molotov rejected. He refused figures as to the home forces and rejected that verification on the spot be made.

should report thelr troops and baS- es abroad and their troops in the regular armies, etc. Molotov had asked for limited data; Noel Baker proposed that all the data be made available. This Molotov rejected. He refused figures as to the, home forces and rejected that verification on the spot be made.
 Sir Hartley Shawcross, in that discussion, raised this question:
 " Why M. Moltov had argued that the inclusion of home forces would distract attention from forces abroad; was it because Russias home army was so large that the figures would shock the world?. :" He might have asked whether the military and political police who are as much a military. establishment as Hitler's s. s. would be includ- ed.
 In the 1947 meeting of the Gen. eral Assembly, Hector McNeil made this very interesting point:
 There can be no systematic disarmament without real basis in collective security. But as long as there is mystery and exclusion, then there is the probability of mistrust."
 In 1948, it was proposed:
 CD All States must belong to the disarmament system @ Disarm- ament could take effect only in an atmosphere of confidence. (3) Such confidence would require the crea- tion of the United Nations forces envisaged in the Charter, the effec- tive control of atomic energy, and peace treaties with Germany and Japan. (4 Arms must be limited to those indispensable to security. t5) There must be safeguards cap able of detecting violations, and yet causing the minimum interfer- ence in the nations lives. (6) En- forcement action against violators must be provided for.
 AS before, the two Soviet Rep resentatives voted against this re- solution.
 However, at the same session, Soviet Russia proposed that all countries reduce their armaments by one third. But all resolutions to get at, the facts were opposed by the Russians, so that the question might rightly be asked: one third of what? The phrase, one-third, was thrown out without the slight est statistical evidence or connota- tion. This has heen the Russian method, exasperating and confus- ing all other countries.
 In July, 1949, Mir Manuilsky of the Ukraine denounced a French plan. Summarized, he said: no state conscious of it's na- tional dignity could allow foreign CTS to investigate its military ar chives. Those who were pressing for complete information on conven- tional armaments insisted on with holding all information about the atom bomb. MT. Nash (US.A) | said that Soviet opposition to any plan aimed at restoring interna- tional confidence was based on their desire to conceal the extent of | Jheir rearmament.
 France took up the fight for a worldwide census of non-atomic weapons and armed forces. Soviet opposed that but her repre- continue to make speech IS about disarmament and peace. And her agents in this country do he same.
 The point is that every effort to- ward gathering accurate data con- ,erning conventional arms or the iZe of armies. toward disarmament
