Alaskan Fires Found
 To Be Very Damaging To Natural Resources

Alaska's forest fires are not to be shrugged off lightly, admon- ishes Dr. H J. Lutz of the Yale School of Forestry. Dr. Lutz re- gently returned to the Interior, where he began studies, last year, of the effects of fire on vegeta- ton.
 Contrary to the opinions some times expressed concerning Alas ka's annual conflagrations, Dr. Lutz says Alaska does not have timber to burn" The Yale for estry expert lists these harmful results of forest fires:
 (l) Loss of big game.
 (2) Loss of fur bearing ami
 mals.
 (3) Increased erosion and slides along highways and rail roads.
 (4) Diminishing stream flow.
 (5) Siltation of streams.
 (6) Loss in scenic and recrea- tional values.
 (7) Loss in population. whose need for timber increases. as that population increases.
 Dr. Lutz pointed out that burned over areas do not furnish increased browse for moose, as is sometimes contended. Lightly burned areas probably will re- turn to spruce stands. Severely burned areas usually remain treeless, with fireweed the prin- cipal vegetation. Fireweed makes poor food for big game.
 Dr. Lutz' stand is quite differ ent from that taken by Fish and Wildlife officials who flew out from Chicago to survey the Ke- mai after the big blaze there sev- eral years ago. The men spent a few hours flying over the area, and returned to headquarters with the announcement that far from being damaging, the Kenai fire probably could be classed as beneficial because of the area it had cleared. They further sug- gested that the ash content added to the soil by the fire might prove beneficial.
 The opinion voiced by the FWS officials was not well received by nature lovers and con nor was it borne out by the support of agricultural soils scientists.

By the Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Mar. 21.- Ar
kansas first flying saucer in nearly
three years was reported last
highland by a veteran airlines
pilot.
Capt. Jack Adams of Little Rock,
pilot Of a Chicago g. Southern Air
lines plane en- route from Mem
phis, Tenn, to Houston, Tex,
radioed the c. & S. operations
Office here that he had sighted the
object near Stuttgart, Ark.
On landing here few minutes

at tremendous speed and leaving
no vapor trail.

Swiss Deny Leohy Report

The Swiss government denied in
Bern today that the Swiss Minis
ter in Washington had sent cables
to Bern concerning the 1943
Moscow conference as reported in
printed excerpts from the book II
Was There" by Admiral William
D. Leahy.
The governments Political De-
partment took exception to a
statement that Swiss Minister
Charles Bruggmann, brother-in
law of Henry A. Wallace, sent to
his government certain impress
sions of American participants of
the Moscow conference.
The department said, however,
that Swiss citizen, Walter Julius
Bosshard, was convicted of spying
and Justification of documents and
sentenced to four years in prison
in 1947. 1t added:
In the course of the trial this
man testified that he repeatedly
had turned over to the German
Legation in Bern for money falsi-
fed kilograms which were en-
tirely fabricated by him and
which allegedly contained reports
sent from the Swiss Legation in

CoI|aday Sees Kefauver Bill.
Bringing 'Carpet-Bag' Rule

The Kefauver bill for District
home rule will bring with it i'm
ported carpet-bag government
that will beat anything ever writ
ten," the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association was told last night.
Edward F.. Colladay, general
counsel for the Washington Board
of Trade, told the group there is
no provision in the proposed bill
that the city manager appointed
by the council be District citizen.
Mr.. Colladay drew a laugh from
the association when he suggested
the first city manager might even
come from Independence, Mo.
Mr.. Colladay also blasted the
one-year residence requirement for
voting, which also would permit
new residents to retain voting
rights in their home States.
"OutSiders" who come here for
a few years can put the District
way into debt, enjoy the fruits
and then go back to their home
State, leaving District citizens to
pay the piper, he said.
The only way for the District
to have voice in its own govern
ment is through national repre-
sentation, Mr.. Colladay asserted

word to one of his secretaries.
Russians Go for Beer.
On the way out, Russian pub
locations were conveniently handy
on a table. Many of us picked
up some as we left.
The real surprise of the evening
came in the acceptance by four
or five of the Embassy staff of
our casual invitation to come back
to the fraternity house for an in
formal get-together.
Over some beer and pretzels,
the party line" was relaxed.
For example, in the exchange of
ideas, one Russion expressed sur
prise that among so many students
of foreign affairs, not one studied
Russian.
He said: "In a Russian univers-
ity, English is required in order to
graduate"
He was puzzled, too. at the en-
phasis Americans put on thrift
and saving.
Can't Make Money.
"In Russia every one knows he
has security for his old age. One
saves only to buy some expensive
extra item" he declared.
Another Russian tried to debunk
the American conviction that Rus
slams cannot own property. He
explained: I'm Russia one can
own just as much private property
as he can use. He can own a
house, but not rent it. He can
own a car, but not use it for a
taxi" In other words, he can en-
JOY property but not make money
with it.
What was the reaction of the
American college students to their
glimpse behind the Iron Curtain? ?
The secretary of the chapter
summed it up: "The obviousness
of the propaganda was amazing
But informal talks, even if loaded,
are instructive. =

Russians Have Beer
At Fraternity After
Displaying Movies
By Robert Bodden

The Russian Embassy lifted the
Iron Curtain the other night to
let in, for brief two hours, some
80 members of the National For
eign Affairs Fraternity of George
Washington University.
Delta Phi Epsilon had requested
the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics to send a speaker to give
a talk. The Embassy spokesman,
v. Marchenko, responded with an
invitation for the entire group to
come to the Embassy for a social
evening.
No butler met us at the door.
We hung up our own coats, and a
Russian, who spoke no English,
pointed to the steps. The first
thing we saw on entering the
gilt half was a ife-size portrait
of "Comrade Stalin," as our hosts
called him. This portrait is a new
one, painted by Russian Artist
Mellow, who won the Stain Prize.
There was no receiving line, but a
number of the Embassy staff
talked to small groups until we
were ushered into the adjoining
ballroom, where we got the real
works in three films.
Troops in China Shown.
Film ALL were in Russian
was a newsreel, highlighted by the
entrance of the free" Chinese
Army into Shanghai. Apparently,
the Americans were supposed to
draw a parallel with the day al
lied troops marched into liberated
Paris. We could not hold back
a rumble of protest when we saw
American army equipment roll
down the street in the victory
parade.
The interpreter explained, sar-
castically, This is American
equipment given generously to
Chang Kai-shek and captured
from him by the free Chinese"
Film 2 took us to the Russian
motorcycle races, held outside of
Leningrad. This was an attempt
to prove the sport prowess of
Russian youth.
Film brought in the big propa-
ganda guns. An hour and a half
of technicolor reviewed the World
Youth Festival held in Budapest
last August. The delegates were
depicted as ecstatic over peace,
Russian fashion. To our amaze
ment, they came not just from
Russia and satellite countries, but
Britain, America, Australia and
India. The Russian commentator
explained that the British youth
were threatened with reprisals if
they attended-but they went
anyhow"
Banners in English.
Huge red banners, in English
as we'll as in Russian, stretched
across the length of the amphi-
theater where the festival was
held. They proclaimed: mot
Atom Bombs, but World Peace
and Order; youth! Unite for
Peace. Democracy and a Better
Future" The American delega-
ton carried a placard declaring
"The Youth of the United States
Is Against the Atlantic Pact"
Technically, the filming was
good. Even if we did notice that
the applauding and Long live
Stains" were recorded on a sound
track and added later. Phrases
like "strive for democracy" and
down with the warmongers" were
frequently used.
One member of the Embassy
staff told me: Russia has nc
desire to impose any Soviet system
on the United States. Comrade
Stain said in 1884 that the two
systems can co-exist."

yushkin made an appearance on
