THE Crop
hats

A new motion picture showing the best meth
DDS for handling and feeding beet tops is being
completed this week. 1t is called "The Crop That's
Tops" Since it will not be available until the first
week of harvest when farmers are very busy, we
have not planned immediate meetings for showing
this picture. However, if any groups of farmers
would like to see it now, we suggest that they get
in touch with the fieldman or manager and we will
see if arrangements can be made.
This picture, which only takes about fifteen
minutes, shows every method for handling tops
pasturing them, stacking them dry or making them
into silage in pits or stacks. 1t shows the latest
methods for saving tops with machine harvest
the simple spiked wheel used so successfully in
Nebraska last year, also "four-row land" system
by which tops can be thrown into a pile row with
out being run over by the tractor or trailer cart,
and various ways of using the side-delivery rake.
The picture explains why tops are so valuable
in terms of the amount of grain and hay they re-
place. We are sure that all growers will want to
see this picture during winter meetings and If
some can see it Immediately, they will certainly
profit by it.

REPUBLICANS MEET, PLANS FOR CAUCUS

Another meeting of the Republi- can organization was held Sunday for the purpose of perfecting plans for the forthcoming Territorial caucus to be held in Juneau, March 29.
 Several committees were ap- pointed to deal with the problem of getting preliminary plans for the convention underway.
 The issues which face the welfare of the Territory were discussed at length. Ways and means were dis cussed of bringing out in the open the long concealed errors which were discovered in the recent audit of Territorial accounts. It was felt that the audit and recommends tions made as result of such examination should be brought to the attention of every taxpayer in the Territory of Alaska. The tax payer has a right by law to know if his tax dollar was spent in ac- cordance with law and the Republi- can party intends that this right shall be restored.

 Miss Elizabeth. Rose, nurse tes- tifying for the prosecution in the mercy killing trial of Dr. Sander admitted under cross-examination signing the statement:
 T am certain that Mrs. (Abbie) Borroto was dead before Dr. San- der entered her room.
 She was cold and clammy She had death pallor. She was not breathing.
 If I had to express an opinion of my own apart from what Dr Shay has said would say that Mrs Borroto was dead when pr. Shay saw her.
 "Dr. Sander did not kill her be- cause she was dead when this in- jection was made"
 Earlier, she testified Dr. Albert Shay, another doctor at the hos pital, examined the woman before Sander arrived and could find nc pulse beat.

GLACIAL ICE SCOOPS HIM OFF ROAD, BUT
 PASS NEGOTIATED

Driving over 865 miles of the Alaska Road Commissions highway system in the dead of winter and going off the road only four times is related by D. H. Miller, chief of the ARCS administrative division.
 Miller returned this weekend after a ten-day argosy over the rugged Thompson Pass near Valdez, the Tok Cutoff. the Glenn Highway. and a portion of the Alaska High way leading into Fairbanks.
 Glacial ice. formed by under ground water seeping to the surface and freezing, causeu the car to skid into no-man's land, he said. These stretches are perhaps only 20 yards long, or few feet, but when a car hits them, everything goes every which way
 The pass leading into Valdez was negotiated in good time, and by radio control. Every 20 miles or so a radio station is located on the road, and was car passes. its time and probable speed are radioed to the next station. If the vehicle doesn't show up in the expected time, search goes on immediately.
 In this manner, little danger lies in wait for the winter motorist, Miller said.
 Snow blows with 11-foot wing blades, and types of rotary blowers are going constantly in the pass, kept clear in a cooperative action by the Alaska Freight Lines and the Road Commission. It has closed briefly only two days this winter.
 Truck conveys leave Valdez every two hours, and Miller, driven over the entire route by s. L. Lundwall, commission cost engineer, attached himself to one of these on their northward trek.
 He flew to Nome and inspected a new depot recently erected there, and while at Fairbanks he looked over ship facilities.

SIR HARRY LAUDER
 pASSES AWAY, HIS
 HOME IN SCOTLAND

STATHAVEN, Scotland Feb. 27 -iR-Sir Harry Lauder, the beloved Scottish comedian, has gone roamin in the Gloamin' for the last time. He died last night at the age of 79 after an illness of many months. Sir Harry, whose twinkling eyes and broad baritone made him known in both the United States and Europe for half century, suf- fered from arterio- thrombosis (an arterial blood clot) complicated by kidney ailments. He was near death last August, but rallied and for weeks appeared greatly improved.
 The man who wrote "Roamin' in the Gloamin' and turned it all most into a folksong in popularity, drove himself with public appear ances until last year. Then on the repeated advice of doctors he re- luctantly announced his retirement at Lauder Ha,' his spacious home in Lamarkshire.
 T suppose a man can't go on forever-though I'd be perfectly willing to- he remarked.
 This last trip to America was made in 1887.

BRITISH COALITION MAY SMOOTH OVER
 DEADLOCK FOR TIME

LONDON, Feb. 27-R-Strong hints cropped up today that Con- servative-Labor "gentleman's agree ment" may delay a new general election for the next few months. But final decisions are still to be taken.
 Such truce, perhaps unspoken, would permit the virtually dead locked House of Commons to deal with pressing problems both at home and abroad. The Communist Daily Worker sourly spoke of a s.backdoor coalition" by Labor and the Tories.
 Most British newspapers ap- plauded Prime Minister Attlees de- cision to form a new government and attempt to carry on with La bor's thin overall majority of eight seats.
 With two districts still unreported Labor had 315 of the 625 seats. The Conservatives and allied parties, 2e5, the Liberals nine. the Irish Ma tionalists two, the Independent Liberals one. The speaker of the House, who votes only in case oi ties, is listed as non-partisan.
 Delayed returns from two remote districts in Scotland gave the Con- servatives and the Liberals one more victory apiece this afternoon.

 O'Flannigan was prospector and gold rush river boat captain He had been in ill health the past sev- eral years.

 They built the steamboat Atlas which carried prospectors and sup plies to the Tolovana and the Chin- sana districts. O'Flannigan was said to be the only steamboat captain who ever completed the treacherous difficult journey up the Nebesns river, and one of the few to reach Chisana.
 Roads, freight trucks and the air plane business finally doomed his steamboating venture. He lost his boats through financial difficulties

IH-Bonl b Ca n Wipe Out Man,
 Says Aionisi
(By the Associated Press)

A top atomic scientist says the hydrogen bomb could be rigged to create a death cloud capable of killing all the humans in the world.
 Dr. Leo Szilard, biophysicist at the University of Chicago, and three other atomic authorities agreed that such bomb could be turned into world suicide weapon capable of wiping out friend and foe alike.
 The scientist saw the H-bomb as creating cloud of radioactive dust which carried everywhere by the winds would poison the air, settle to earth and slowly but surely take the life of every man, woman and child.
 The scientists, at a University of Chicago round table, raised this question:
 What would happen in event ot war if the enemy. faced with de- feat, would threaten to let loose a hydrogen bomb with all the terrible potentialities of world suicide?
 The scientists didn't have an an swer. The implication was that it was up to the diplomats to see that such situation never comes to pass.
 In the face of such gigantic issue today's immediate develop ments seemed somewhat insignifi- cant. But the diplomats had reports on the desks from over the world like these:
 The Soviet Union has underlined her growing stature as sea power by creating a separate Navy Min istry under Adm Ivan Stepanovich The Soviet Army and Navy had been unified four years ago. The new move was designed to give i'm petus to a program which calls for building up to 100 Submarines and at least three modern battleships.

HeintzIeman in N. w. 10 Raise Funds, |nvesfi-
 gate Car Ferry Start

SEATTLE, Feb. 27-tR-It should be possible to drive your automo- bile onto a seagoing ferry in Scat tie and drive it off in Southeast Alaska, B. Frank Heintzleman said here yesterday.
 The Chambers of Commerce Of Juneau and other Alaska cities want to see that become reality and Heintzleman has promised to survey the possibilities while out side"
 Another thing he has to do is try to raise a portion of $l0,CoO here from merchants, wholesale houses and industrialists having commercial relations with the Ter ritory, to help Juneau build lib- rary The town itself has raised S6O,O0O and $70,000 is anticipated in matching funds from the Federal Public Works program authorized by the last Congress.
 Both undertakings were accepted hy Heintzleman because he had to come outside anyway on his annual mission to Washington, D. C., to be on hand when Interior Depart ment appropriations are taken up by Congress. He is Regional For ester for the Territory.
 Alaska now has 2,600 miles of highway into the Interior, and a lot of it is being blacktopped by the Alaska Road Commission, Heintzleman said.
 More Tourists Seen
 "Alaskans feel that many more tourists would come up if they could drive their cars right onto- ferry. and have them there to use when they got off. We under stand such ferries are operating between the Hawaiian Islands, be- tween Miami and Cuba. and be- tween Boston and New Brunswick.
 Many might like to make circle tour, coming back by way of the Alaska highway. The Hart highway, Prince George to Dawson, is ex- pected to be opened this summer, cutting off 500 miles, and making it unnecessary to go through Ed monton."
 Heintzleman said he doubted that flat-bottomed ferries of low free board, like the old Golden Gate fleet, would do, even if converted to staterooms. He pointed out they would have to cross open water in Queen Charlotte Sound. Some thing like the Puget Sound Naviga- tion Compahy's motor vessel Chin ook would be necessary. Heintzle- man will confer with steamship ines here on the possibilities. Regarding Juneau's library Heintzleman said it is now housed in two inadequate rooms in the city hall He will ask the Carnegie Foundation in New York to help stock the proposed new library. The Sears Roebuck Foundation has agreed to supply books for circu- lating library, he said. They would be carried to small fishing and h. dian villages by the small boats operated along the Alaska coast by public agencies. Rotary clubs oi Juneau and Ketchikan are co. sponsoring this.

UNIV PLEADS INNOCENT 10 COURT CHARGE
Hearing Before Judge Only Recessed 10 Allow Me-
 qotiations 10 Continue

WASHINGTON, Feb. -LR- John L. Lewis United Mine Work CTS today pleaded innocent to con- tempt charges resulting from the failure of 372.000 miners to return to work under court order.
 The union waived it's right to argue it's case before jury, and decided to let Judge Richmond B. Keech rule on the evidence as well as the law
 The big question is whether the union is responsible for the refusal of the coal miners to go back to work
 Keech issued an order Feb. II for a return to work, but the miners have ignored it.
 The unions attorneys have con- tended that the miners are acting individually--that the union itself has nothing to do with the present strike.
 Point of Famine
 Once the unions pleas were for mally entered, the government be- gan attempting to show that the union is responsible for keeping the mines idle to the point of na- tional coal famine.
 The government had done little more than enter documents in the case when it asked for recess until 10:45 am. CPST). Government attorneys explained that they wanted to call as witnesses some o1 the men then engaged in renewec contract negotiations.
 we don't want to pull them away from the bargaining negotiations, Joseph M. Friedman, special assist ant Attorney General. said.
 A session of talks between the operators and union representatives had begun at am. PSD.
 Welly K. Hopkins, general coun- sci for Lewis union, said he was waiving a trial by jury for reasons which need not be entered in the record in detail"
 Pleads Innocent
 Hopkins then moved that Judge Keech dismiss the proceedings.
 The Judge immediately denied that motion and Hopkins entered the plea of innocent.
 The courtroom was crowded mainly with lawyers, newspaper men and close associates of the union or operators. A long queue lined up outside the courtroom door The case came to trial after weekend of frantic but futile ef- forts to get settlement of the coa contract dispute that might have let the government drop the charges.
 Federal negotiators forced a Sum- day session. They kept it running into the early hours of this morn ing. But the union and the opera. tors could not get together.
 In the coal fields, meantime, tht 372,OOO miners doggedly stuck tt their refusal to work without new contract despite the courts orders and the snow-balling hardship over the country from lack of coal
