FREE NATIONS TO DOWN ARMS

The extension of Russian control over
the Eastern part Of Europe has resulted
in something Of an enforced cooperation
between Russia and her satellite states.
1t is believed that the equipment ana
armament of the armies in Eastern Eu-
rope are largely standardized, with sup
plies coming from Russia, Czechoslova-
kia and, to smaller extent, Poland.
Something of the same program is be-
ing undertaken by the five Brussels Pact
allies - Britain, France, the Netherlands,
Belgium and Luxembourg - which nave
been paying special attention to the
Standardization of armament since they
formed their union year and a hall ago.
The idea of the program is to enable
their armies to operate as unit in time
of war.
Much the same result is expected to
result from the recently announced plans
of the United STAGES, Great Britain and
Canada These nations have worked out
a program for the most complete ex-
change of information about military
weapons and fighting methods. The three
countries will pool information on practi-
cally everything used by their fighting
forces and will mutually study some of the
weapons that may be developed. The idea
is to make standard weapons interchange
able between the forces of the three ma
tons and to draw on the inventive technI-
CUES of scientists and the 'operational pro-
cedures91 of military planners.
The idea behind the interchange is the
implementation of the Atlantic Pact. The
three nations posses the bulk of the mil
itary productive resources of the nom
Communist world. Obviously, if they can
dove-tail their production of arms, they
will be in position to act faster and hit
harder if a necessity energies.
During the first two World Wars, the
United States and her allies and associ-
ated powers had considerable difficulty in
exchanging supplies and facilities and
speeding up production. One official
says it took eighteen months during the
last war to convert the plans of British
airplane engine so that American ma
chinists could work from them.
These things could be avoided by a
Standardization program along the lines
of that to be developed by the three ma
TONS When this program gets under.
way, the probability is that it will grad
ually spread to the other nine nations
signatories to the North Atlantic Pact.
In years to come the probability is that
the armies, navies and air force of the
three nations will result from the coopera-
tive research and development of all dem
ocratic countries.
1t will be the business of our military
leaders to see that this program outdis-
tances anything that potential aggressorS
! can devise and develop.

DO you READ BOOKS THROUGH?

..~' There are some people in Key West
who think that they have to read every
~.. book that they buy. Having acquired it,
they make up their minds to read it
through" and until they have fulfilled this
resolution, they are out of the market for
books.
Contrary to the idea generally held,
few books are ever read straight through,
with the possible exception of detective
stories. There is no sense in continuing
to read a volume which one finds unin-
teresting or unprofitable. The best thing
Ito do is to throw it aside and save time

INDUSTRIAL BOARD
 ACCIDENT AWARD
 REDUCED BY f0LTA

Missapplication of the law and mathematical errors in an award given fisherman by the Alaska Industrial Board for injuries sus- tained in an accident on July l6, l948, brought an opinion today from Federal Judge George w Folta that the award should be reduced.
 The opinion was mailed District Clerk ]. w. Leivers from Anch- orage, where Judge Folta is now holding court to help clear the crowded Third Division calendar The case was pending in this di- vision.
 The hoard awarded Peter Latin ourakis S7,433.l5 for disability ar ising from a collision between his fish boat and a scow operated by Libby, McNsill and Libby. He sus- tained severe arm and chest injur- ies. Flown out to receive further treatment, it was discovered he was suffering from cancer of the esoEhagus, and was operated on.
 The board gave him $3,833.l5 f"r temporary disability to May 20 last year, and $3,600 for 50 percent permanent disability. Lihbys filed a complaint that evidence was not shown that disability had occurred, that "congenital trouble" caused the permanent disability and was unrelated to the accident, and that the statute does not allow communicative allowances for tenn porary and permanent disability.
 Judge Folta held there was a definite causal relation" between the injury and subsequent illness, and that the court was not in a position to weigh the evidence or usurp the fact-finding pjsroga- tive of the board.
 The Judge stated that while wording of the act was "inept. am biguous, and encourages maling- ering,' in his opinion any doubts must be resolved in favor of the employee.
 His opinion allowed the plaintiffs contention that the board adcsd S1 800 wrongly to the award and made other computation errors, which he asked to be modified and affirmed.
