ward the capital today for an

for parliament's meeting prob
ably Monday-when he has an
idea how soon distant members

 Quifs 0ffite

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June D. IR-Police Chief Charles Stoweh has resigned effective June 20, after nearly two years of controversy over his administration.
 He said he was quitting because of "an increasing powerful political attack"

 "One group in this city wants to run the department through graft. They are using all available pres sure to bring that about. But even the gamblers and other operators resist such a move. They would rather pay fines when caught than pay steady and increasing tribute to a police commissioner and his cohorts"

RUSSIAN FISTS ! ARE FEARED BY

BIueshirted Commie
 Youths Plead 10 Remain in Western Sectors

BERLIN, June 2-tR-West Ber- lin authorities pleaded with 270 tlueshirted Communist youth to- day to return to their homes in the Russian zone. They refused to go.
 They, came to Berlin for the Whitsun march of 500,000 German Communists, took one look at the Western sectors and were conver- ted.
 The orphans of the march, en- camped in the British sector, told city officials this afternoon they do not want to return to the East and they could not safely go back now anyhow because of their dis obedient flight.
 The West German authorities were nonplussed. They said only about 10 per cent of the blue shirt deserters can be classified, even by searching the imagination, as "persecutees" and entitled to live in the West. A special commission was appointed to examine each case.
 The FDJ (Freie Deutsche Jugend Free German Youth deserters were plainly disappointed and in some cases worried over the pros pect of returning home.

 REBuFFED
Are Barred from Two Parks for Anti American
 Demonstrations

TOKYO, June 2-lhl-Metropol- itan police tonight barred the Con- munists from using two major downtown parks for tomorrow's scheduled anti-American demon- strations.
 The police crackdown probably was made with the approval of General MacArthur's headquarters The demonstrations are intended to be part of a general strike" called by the Communists
 Whether the Communists will try to use the parks anyway was not known. Earlier one leader had said the Reds would go ahead with the demonstration even though police said they had not obtained the required permit.
 The police declared Hibiya Park, one trouble spot in the Memorial Day clash between Red demon- strators and U. s. soldiers was off limits"
 Reliable Japanese sources said today General MacArthur's head quarters is studying government plan to outlaw the Japan Con- munist party.
 Whether the plan will be adopted may depend greatly on the Com munist demonstrations tomorrow. The Red party predicted more than 100, ,0OO labor unionists and thous- ands of students would join in the nation wide strike.
 Violence such as the Memorial Day kicking and stoning of Amer ican troops may result in the Jap anese government outlawing the Communist party.
 The strike was called in reprisal for the speedy trial of eight Jap anese charged with attacking five U. s. soldiers Monday. It also is designed to influence Sunday cleo tions for the Upper House of Par liament.
 A U. S. military court, pushing the trial along at fast pace. went into another night session.

PLANNERS DREAM OF SECOND MATANU5kA IN RENAL PENINSULA
By vERNf HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, June 2 = R - The proposed project settlement program in Alaska probably will start in the Kenai-Kasilof area south of Anchorage, the Interior Department said today.
 An interdepartmental committee on group settlement in Alaska has found that that area is most readily adaptable to settlement of five gov- ernment land sectors totaling 300,- 900 acres, temporarily withdrawn from public use.
 The withdrawals were ordered to permit thorough surveys of the five areas before any settlement gets under way. The Kenai-Kasilof area is along Cook Inlet near the northwestern base of the Kenai peninsula.
 The committee also has recom- mended that one of the five areas the Dunbar district west of Fair banks, be rejected as a project settlement area.
 The committee said that land should be returned to individual settlement, with full publicity given to the fact that the area is unsuited to individual settlement in- volving full time commercial farm ing"

 William E. Warne, assistant Sec retary of the Interior, told a re- porter the proposed Dunbar pro- ject already had been dropped from planning.
 He said an administration pro- posal to set up the overall pro- gram for Alaska project develop ment awaits Congressional action The high cost of clearing and level ing farm land in Alaska. and of getting it into crop production, has retarded the Territory's agricultural development. The federal project settlements have been proposed as the solution.

 Handed Down
No Piekets Allowed Against Alaska Line. But. LongshoremenWon 'Work

SEATTLE, June 2-tR-Federal Judge John c. Bowen has granted an injunction to prohibit picketing of ships carrying supplies to Alaska for the salmon canning season.
 The injunction replaced tenn porary restraining order issued by Judge Bowen last Saturday.
 The new injunction. issued after Judge Bowen heard the case on its merits, directed that two locals of the International Longshoremen and Warehousemens Union (CIO) cannot picket shipping firms until the National Labor Relations Board settles jurisdictional dispute. It does not, however, prevent pick citing of the Alaska Salmon Indus try.
 Despite the court action, however, no cannery cargoes were loaded aboard ships of the Alaska Steam ship Company. There has been no picketing since the temporary re- strainer but company officials said .longshoremen walked off the job when asked to load cannery freight.
 William Gettings, regional long shore chief, said "the union has no way to force its individual members to work if they choose not to-" A federal conciliator said another meeting for this afternoon in nego- tiations between the Salmon Indus try and Local 7-C of the Long, shoremen's Union is scheduled.
