ENJOYABLE WAFER
 SUPPLY E PROBLEM
 DO w N BELOW, TOO

ABERDEEN, Wash, Feb. 6|R- A slow trickle of water freed by gasoline flame -throwers and warmer weather raised hopes today for an early end to the water shortage in this city of 25,000.
 Emergency supplies diverted from neighboring Hoquiam and indus trial sources lifted the flow in city main to about 60 percent of normal.
 Nearly third of the homes, how ever, are still without water and pressure is still too low to combat a major fire.
 The improvised flame throwers were turned yesterday on a half mile section of the three-foot wooden intake pipe in an effort to thaw the almost solid chunk of ice. Water trickled through slowly last night and with the thermometer above freezing for the first time in days workmen hoped the flow would increase.

Then 1t was set for Sun day evening, after they had taken DOdL JO dWdAt tilC HUI OllOCttii'A Pan American flight. A few hours later, it was decided to play Sun day afternoon, but that too fell through because the airliner passed up the icebound field.
 Sperling said that he understood the team might also go to Anchor age and if so. he would attempt to arrange for them to stop here or their return to the states. An Sl .80t gate awaits them here and in Sitka if they could do it, he pointed out
 He said that rebates on the sell out would be put off until he hac received definite word on whether the team could play here upon it. return. This will take perhaps { week, he believed.

TRUMAN PUTS TN LAW INTO USE ON COAL
Doubtful # Miners Will Heed Back Work 0rd-
 CT = Board Appointed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-R- President Truman today invoked the Taft-Hartley law in an effort to restore coal production.
 He appointed a board of inquiry headed by David L. Cole, Paterson, NJ, lawyer, to look into the issues at dispute.
 The other members are William W. Wirtz and John Dunlop.
 In view of the emergency, the President instructed the board to report not later" than one week from today.
 MT. Truman's move sets in mo- tion T-H law procedures that could lead to court order a week or 10 days from now for the miners to get back to work for 80 days.
 Whether the miners will pay any attention to "stop-strike" order from the courts-provided one is issued-is question
 John L. Lewis, the 70-year- president of the United Mine Work CTS. told Mir Truman last week that he doubted they would.
 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said MT. Truman's order cov- cred only the soft coal industry.
 Board to Meet
 He said the three board members had accepted the appointments and would meet in Washington to begin work.
 As the number of idle miners skyrocketed from the. 100000 out last week in six states to at least 330.0O0, production of bituminous (soft) coal plummeted. Rowing pickets were active in some areas.
 Let's wait and see what happens

WASHINGTON Congressman Nanny Celler of New York is keep ing it secret so far, but his mon opoly Investigating committee has a report on the giant Du Pont com- bine and it's control over American industry which every businessman should read.
 Prepared by the Federal Trade Commission, the super secret docu- ment shows how Du Pont, General Motors, U. s. Rubber and the Lib- hey-Owens Ford Glass Company, have teamed up to form the most potent industrial combine this country has ever known.
 This sprawling dynasty has be- come a government unto itself, bossed by the Delaware Du Fonts, whose chemical company alone nets $12O,O0O,OOO annual profits af- ter taxes. The Du Pont family, the ETC report shows, controls and shares in the income of other com- panies with assets amounting to close to three billions and net pro- fits (after taxes) of well over $300,- 100000 a year.

COMMON SENSE'-BARTLTJrT

w SlNy Sbs hif Delegate Bartlett of Alaska to- day hailed the Barrow Eskimos' re- jection of a proposed reservation for them as a testimonial to their Iccmmon good sense.'
 "The Barrow Eskimos by their vote last Saturday showed con- clusively they do not want the government to run their affairs even ii the bait held out is held ito be exclusively theirs he said in a statement
 The Eskimos, Bartlett said, "arc to be congra tulated on having em- phatically refused to accept for themselves and their children the dreary life of reservation natives" ]"
 T trust the Interior Department will not now attempt to do what it did once at White Mountain, call another election after the first vote resulted in smashing defeat for the reservation.
 q hope too the Eskimos in the Kobuk region tShungnak and the Indians at Hydaburg, will if cleo tions are held at those places in April as now scheduled, reject their reservations as, resoundingly as have the Barrow people"
 The order for the creation of the three reservations, subject to a vote by the natives, was signed by former Secretary of the Inter- for J. A. Krug on his last day in office.
