thing else they get Our people will have to be informed and our people will have to stand together as never before. It may be that even violence will result before it is all since several top flight Communists are leading the drive for ILWU, CIO. We have stiff opposition and will have to be as strong as they people will fall under the control of the waterfront section of the Communist party We have to stand up and be counted one by one as American citizens and as loyal members of the AFL or we will be standing with the Russian Soviet Traitors who taking advantage of their citizenship to undermine Government and legitimate labor organizations"
 If the labor situation is as bad in Alaska as the item above indicates then it is more important than most of us realize have the present cannery dispute settled at
 If the ILWU is out to take over all of Alaska labor and if the results in that would be dangerous as Mir Nielsen indicates, then this might be a good time for all of us to stand up and be counted as American citizens"-all of well as the members of the AFL to which his appeal is made
 Since the CIO found reason to expel Local 2, an affiliate from its organization, for following the Communist line, read the above warning more than an AFL-CIO controversy. It calls attention to situation that is serious and dangerous and that appears to be spreading its viciousness into Alaska.

Tn discussing the Chinese Com munists, Hurley said there might be some among them who look to Moscow for guidance, but he thought most of them were just reformers-outs who wanted to be the ins.
 "'The only difference between Chinese Communists and Oklano- ma Republicans he said, grinning is that the Oklahoma Republicans
 ire not armed. Y" Note In the same speech, Hur- Hey blasted the State Department And having already resigned, ht l could hardly have been reflectint l it's or Lattimore's views. 1 Note 2-Lattimore says he knew that the Chinese Communists were not simply peasant reformers therefore never wrote anything tt that effect.

great quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables aboard the freighter Square Knot is still in the hold of the ship and is rapidly spelling.
 In thousands of places around the globe millions of people are starving to death. The government of the United States pouring millions of dollars and Arge shipments of food stuffs into these areas to alleviate the situation.
 The United Fishermen of Alaska AFL, called strike and pcketing all cannery supplies consigned to canneres around the island in attempt to get the fish prices for this years season rdised.
 We are in favor of the fishermen obtaining more money for their fish We recognize their right to strike but we deplore their action in refusing to un load perishable food products which could be put to so much use in so many places.
 While it is true that the amount of food lost through their action may be an infinitesimal amount in comparison to that needed throughout the world the destruction of even small amount is lamentabe.

Agrarian RefOrmers

One of the chief proofs offered by Senator Mccarthy and Louis Budenz that Owen Lattimore is a Communist is that he called the Chinese Communists "Agrarian Re- formersr and got other writers to do the same. Thus they deceived the American public and the State Department M -sry
 However, careful research into the writings of American experts on China now reveals that it was not Lattimore who called the Con- munists "Agrarian Performers" but a high-ranking Republican-none other than Patrick J. Hurley
 Hurley, who was Secretary of War in Hoover's cabinet, COP candidate for Senator from New Mexico, and U. S. ambassador to China, has been held up by the Mccarthy group as the man who was dead right about the Chinese Communists, and whose work Latti- more was trying to undermine. Yet on returning from his ambassador ial post in China, Hurley, speaking before the National Press Club or Nov 29, 1945, was quoted in the Washington Post as follows:

Senate GrandpaS

Two of the most powerful men in the Senate are old-timers Ken neth McKellar of Tennessee, ap- populations boss, and Tom Con- nally of Texas, foreign relations chief. Both are granddads in ex- perience and have snapping-turtle dispositions. However. they turned their sharp tongues on each other last week during the debate over Point Four" aid to backward na- tions.
 Where are we going to get the money?" demanded McKellar in the middle of Connally's plea for the Point Four program. we are going to get the money out of the Appropriations Commi- tee. that is where we are going te get it." snapped Connally. T am opposed to the amendment and I shall oppose it in the Ap- propriations Committee" announced the senator from Tennessee, who iE chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
 "The senator will probably kil it if he opposes it in the Appro- priations Committee" bristled Con- nally.
 T shall do my best, I assure tht senator. I think we are going wild, we are going mad, and l dc not intend to go along" biurtee Mcclellan angrily.
 We shall certainly miss the sen' ator," sneered Connally.
 "The senator may miss me, bu am going to keep my trecort straight" McKellar cracked. "The senator has a very lint and splendid record, and I hope h' will keep it untarnished and un blemished legislatively, socially ant otherwise" flung back the gruf Texan.
 Grandpa McKellar sputtered witt rage, but grandpa Connally out shouted him and refused to yiele for a reply.
 Finally the presiding officer in terrupted with the announcement ''The time of the senator has ex' pired."
 T am very glad the time ha! expired, and that all the time ha! expired" snorted Connally and sa down.
 Note-despite his temper, Con nally has done a remarkably gooe 1 job in pushing foreign affair! measures through the Senate Though he gets little notice in th' headlines, his legislative record i one of the best in Washington.

There's nothing like a fragrant
airy kitchen filed with preparations
for jelly-making to interest and de-
light the children. Better still,
those little fingers can be taught to
help in the preparations, so that
when spreads are done the
youngsters can share In the thrill
of achievement. Your family will
love the treat Of homemade berry
spreads long after the fresh fruit
season is finished.
Both raspberries and blackberries
are popular for making jams and
jellies because of their delicious
flavor. Prepare the fruit with care;
follow the. tested recipes exactly,
for jelly and jam making Is an
exact science that will not succeed
II you alter amounts or make sub
stitutions. By using the modern
short-boil method, all the true
flavor of the berries is preserved
and not boiled away.
These recipes combine rasp-
berries and blackberries for un-
usual tasting spreads. Each flavor
compliments and brings out the
best in the other.
Blackberry jelly

cups sugar
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare the juice. Crush thor
