 On Monday and Tuesday, 2e made the grade and fednesday found things almost back to normal with 30 in. Milk that did arrive was brought in under extreme difficulty in many cases. lO-gallon cans Of milk were carried over snow drifts to place where the milk truck could get it. Several farmers hooked their two wheel trailers onto their tractors and delivered their milk. They cut across fi&lds in order to avoid big drifts. Bill Eecker ,one of tho dri- vers who picks up milk, reported on @ednesday thct ho could now reach nearly all Of his GUS toners, but had to do . lot Of back-tracking. In the meantime, what have the farm CTS done with their milk? Reports are that some farmers lost a good deal of milk--one is said to have lost about 20Oo lbs. Of course they tried to salvage as much of it as they could by Hsing it to feed live- stock, skiuning off the cream and making butter, and making colt age cheese for their own use. But this still resulted in a big loss as they could have realized much more from the mi lk by selling it. From .'asilla stories have reached us. on farmers difficulties in getting feed for tnoir chickens. :. large snowd rift about 100 to l5O yer@s in length cut off the home steaders on the Lnik. road from ..asilla. One Egg producer ran out Of chicken feed and had to pack feed across the drif He borrowed feed in "asilla until he was able to make it to Palmer on 5un- day where he contacted Manager Iilson o1 the Co-op who got four sacks of feed for him from the "arehouse.

promised to call the session
whether he is reelected or not.
Today's McKeldin statement,
charging Mr.. Lane with bargain
ing" with the voters. apparently
was made Independently of the
Governors announcement. The
Governors reference to the "bar-
gaining" charge. it is believed. was
in reply to the accusation leveled
by the G. O. P. candidate earlier.
Mr.. McKeldin. who is facing
Gov. Lane in a general election for
the second time and also sought
the governorship eight years ago
against Herbert r. O'Conor (now
Senator). said there are many
questions in the minds of the vot-
ers which Mr.. Lane has failed to
>answer.
why is Mr.. Lane, accustomed
to deals surprising even himself
now trading off his friends to ap-
pease his enemieS?" he said.
The latter was reference to a
recent realignment of friendships
between the Governor and Balti-
more City Democratic leaders
a shakeup which eventually led
to George P. Mahoney, the Gov
ernor's primary opponent, openly
indorsing Gov. Lane for re-elec-
ton.
COP. Also Pledged Relief.
Mr.. McKeldin likewise had
promised the sales tax relief that
Gov. Lane now proposes to put
into early effect. AS a matter of
fact, the Republican platform,
adopted two days before that of
the Democrats. carried a sales tax
plank. Die-hard Mahoney Demo-
Gratis have observed, however,
that both nominees took their
planks from their candidate who
polled $1,000 more popular votes
than did Mr. Lane. but who lost
by unit votes in the nominating
convention.
At present, the sales tax applies
to all purchases of Is cents or
more, but food bought for home
consumption already is exempt.

Sixty two year old Edward
Frazier knew as many of the
alumnae as the school officials
with him in the receiving line.
A school official explained that
Mr.. Frazier was given the honor
of being in the receiving line be-
cause of his long and faithful
service as a waiter and later head
waiter from 1917 to 1943.
II left in 1943," said Mr.. Frazier
because the Navy took over the
school buildings on Nebraska ave-
nue.. Then the school rented
eight buildings in Spring Valley
and they didn't need head
waiter anymore"
The Seminary, which includes
prep school and a two-year high
school, is now located at 210C

Prospective Citizens
Repeatedly Facing
Stiff Re-examination
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The New
York Times says that Throughout
the Nation applicants for Amer.
lean citizenship, many waiting tt
take the oath of allegiance, have
been ordered to undergo lengthy
determinations under the term
of the country's new national Sc
curity act.
The newspaper says the appli
cants are being questioned re-
garding their connection with
Communist-controlled, totalitar
ian, or subversive groups.
Hundreds of applicants hav'
been ordered to appear at loca
immigration and naturalization
Offices for the re-eXaminations
the Times says.
Orders Confirmed.
The same procedure is under
way in Boston, Chicago, New Or
leans. Seattle, and San Francisco
as we'll as Northern and Southern
border localities, the newspaper
says.
A spokesman for the Immi-
grafton and Naturalization Serv-
ice in New York who would not
be quoted by name confirmed
that such orders had been sent
out or would be sent out, here
and elsewhere. No re-examina-
tons yet have taken place,
however, in New York, he said.
He did not further discuss the
order.
The second screening was mad,
necessary by the terms of the new
Internal Security Act, the Time1
quoted officials as saying.
The newspaper says the officials
are under instructions not to dis
cuss the order.
Failure to give satisfactory an
swers to questions involving 10y
atty to the United States resulted
n prompt rejection of petitions
.or citizenship, the Times story
laid.
Air of Secrecy.
The Times says IAN air of
Secrecy" surrounds the procedure
here and that officials were 1eti-
cent concerning it, referring in
quiries to the Justice Department
in Washington.
On Washington, Justice De-
partment spokesman said that
no new regulations or directives
have been sent out to any one.
("Something along the line of
closer checks on new applicants
for United States citizenship
may be forthcoming" he told a
reporter.
(The spokesman said. however,
that such steps would not affect
the applications of those who
have complied with all the re-
quirements and now are ready
to take their oaths as citizens.
He said that at that stage the
applications have only to satisfy
the judge before whom they take
the oath that they have met all
the requirements and are quail
fled to become citizens.)
