Under an Eastern sky,
Amid the rabble's cry,
A man went forth to die
For me.
Thorn-crowned His blessed head,
Blood-stained His every tread,
Cross-laden on He's led
For me.
Pierced were His hands and feet;
Three hours over Him beat
Fierce rays of noontide heat
For me.

"Flax yields have increased to
the point where the average north
west flax grower receives nearly
as many bushels per acre from
flax as he does from his spring
wheat" according to E. ]. Mitchell
of the flax institute of the United
States.
In 1949 the U.S.D.A. estimates
the average spring wheat yield for
North and South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Montana and Wiscon-
sin at only 1896 bushels per acre.
In these same states, flax yields
averaged $50 bushels, or more
than 80 per cent that of spring
wheat.
Mitchell attributes the rapid
gains made by flax to new, high
yielding varieties and improved

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-iR-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey called yesterday for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as the Republican nominee for Presi- dent in 1852.
 If I should be reelected Gov- ernor and have influence with the New York delegation, I would re- commend to them that they support General Eisenhower for President if he would accept the draft" Dewey said.
 Speaking here over the NEG tele- vision program, Meet the Press" Dewey again took himself out of a third White House race in the most emphatic terms.
 He praised Eisenhower as "a very great world figure, the President of Columbia University, one Of the greatest soldiers in our history, fine educator-a man who really understands the problems of the world"
 Dewey is running for third term as Governor after first denying ne would be a candidate.

 Here at Colump1a University, I have a task that would excite the pride and challenge the qualifica- tions and strength of any man."
 Repeatedly in the past, Eisen- hover has spurned Presidential booms in his behalf. But .Dewey's outright bid for him to run put a top COP leader behind him for the office.
 Dewey. twice a candidate for President himself, said he would not run for the Presidency again. even if he were drafted.
 Eisenhower's statement came shortly after Harold E. Stassen, twice an unsuccessful aspirant for the Republican Presidential nomi- nation, hailed Dewey's support of Eisenhower as real statesmanship
 Dewey's endorsement came in the midst of his campaign for third term as Governor.

LYING LABELS cop GAINS REBUFF TO
 GRUENING MACHINE

In a signed statement, just be- fore his departure for Seattle, Sen- ator Howard Lyng, Democratic Na- tional Committeeman for Alaska termed Republican gains in Tues days election repudiation of the Gruening administration.
 Lyng said, T do not regard the Republican gains in October tenth's general election as a defeat for the Democratic Party. It is, rather, a registered protest of the majority of Alaskas voters against the man. ner in which the head of the pre- sent administration, federally ap- pointed Governor Gruening, has been conducting the affairs of the Territory in recent years. Demo- crats, Republicans and independent voters all participated in this vig- orous, Territory wide rebuke.
 ''In this election, the Democrats holding 6 of the holdover Senate seats from the 1948 general elec- ton secured but of the 8 Sen- ate seats in the general election, 6 going to the Republicans.
 Tn the House, in which the total, "A seats, are filled each 2 years, the Republicans captured 10 and the Democrats 14 seats, a loss of 5 seats from the 19 held by the Democrats in the 1949 session.
 "The result of this election, in my opinion, is mandate from the voters to restore the two-party system, and once and for all, rid ourselves of the pro-Gruening, anti Gruening basis on which our el- ections of recent years have been conducted.
 "The Democratic Party in AL aska, for which I am a major spokesman, sincerely hopes that in the elections two years hence, it will be able to properly conduct its own affairs without any out side interference or attempted domination on the part of any federally appointed officials"

LYING REVIEWS CHARGE

In Seattle today responsibility for Democratic party setbacks in Alas ka's general election last week was laid today at the door of the Terri torial Governor in stiffly worded protest by the party's national com- 
 Lyng was interviewed this morn- ing by the Associated Press.
 Democrats, Republicans and In- dependent voters all participated in this vigorous territory-wide rebuke,' Lyng said in a statement which broke in the open controversy he said has been going on within the party for number of years.
 He said three of the Democrats who were defeated for reelection to the Senate were "hand-picked mem bers of Alaska's statehood commit tee" One was Victor Rivers, the chairman of the party in Alaska. Lvng was chairman of the party for four years before becoming com mitteeman eight years ago. He is a holdover Senator from the Nome Seward region.
 When interviewed here today, Alaska born and raised Senator Lyng said:
 "The defeat of three of five of the Democratic Senate candidates is especially hard as they also were members of Alaska statehood com- mittee. A further blow to our Demo- cratic party in Alaska was the de- feat of the chairman of the Demo- cratic party, a Senate veteran of eight years and a member of the statehood committee"

STEEL WORKERS
 ARE SEEKING AN
 ADVANCE, WAGES
If Demands Are Granted If Means Price Raise in
 Many Necessities

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16-R-In- dustry leader United States Steel Corporation and the CIO United Steel Workers opened negotia- tions today of the Unions demand for a wage increase.
 Neither side commented as ses- sions goa under way.
 President Philip Murray of both the CIO and the USW headed the unions 37-man bargaining team, Vice President John A. Stephens led about the same number of re- presentatives of "big s.eel's' six steel l-producing subsidiaries.
 Murray and Stephens shook hands and chatted pleasantly for a few minutes before the bargain ing session started in a downtown hotel conference room.
 U. s. Steel is the traditional bell wether of the industry in wage talks. If it grants pay hike, other steel firms-both basic producers and the firms that turn the steel into finished products-probably will follow suit.
 The amount of any U. s. Steel wage hike would he reflected in the prices of automobiles, refrigerators, hairpins and everything else made of steel.
 Little doubt has been expressed that U. S. Steel will make some form of wage increase offer. The amount of that expected offer re- mains to be answered.
 Murray himself hasn't said how much he will seek for the steel workers who now average $1.70 an hour. Some sources have placed the unions demand at about 25 cents an hour.

 Aboard were Senator Lester c. Hunt (D-Wyo). Senators Wayne L. Morse D-Ore) and Leverett Salt onstall tR-Mass.)
 we hope to be able to bring back such a report of the inad- equacy of our defenses that we can stimulate unusual interest on the part of Congress and the Chief Ex- ecutive to get the job done," Sen. ator Hunt said as he boarded the Air Force DC-4 here.
 He said housing facilities at or near the military establishments in the Territory were on the survey agenda. "It's impossible to keep men up there without living facil- ities," he said. We never have let them take their families. We are forcing them to go there, and inn mediately after their enlistments expire they either get out of the army or we have to bring them back to the states
 The first stop was to be at Elm endorf Air Force Base near An chorage, then to Kodiak, Seward, Portage and back to Anchorage Then to Nome by air and to Ladd and Eielson Air Fields near Fair banks and stops at Juneau, Ket- chikan and Annette Island enroute back here.

" ASHINGTON-Just as the ill., fated hospital ship Benevoy .nce sank recently without lowering a Iifeboat. the same thing could hap pen to seven troopships which are still equipped with cumbersome life boat gear, almost useless in an em- ergency.
 These troopships are plying the Atlantic and Pacific today, cram med with CTS going 70 Korea ana Germany, or with dependents com- ing home. In case of an emergency they may not be as fortunate as the Benevolence passengers who went down within easy range of San Francisco rescue boats.
 These /ven trooWhips carry their libeboats cradeled in Navy triplebank davits which don't even meet the minimum safety standards of the Coast Guard. It takes ship s power to swing the davits with any degree of speed. Yet ships pow CT usually fails in any emergency serious enough to require llfeboats.
