Businessmen Duck-National Se- curity Chairman Stuart Syming- ton has a smooth, new technique for dealing with businessmen who argue for immediate controls to prevent imitation. Symington allows his visitor to talk, then says: OK, if you want controls. you are the new price administrator. That ends the argument every time.
 Canadian Atoms Purge-The Canadian Government has ordered a drastic new security check of
 all employees of it's Chalk River Atomic Energy Development to
 weed out Communists. The new checkup is aimed to ferret out any accomplices of Bruno Pontecorvo, the British atomic scientist who fled to Russia. Pontecorvo worked in Canada for nearly two years helping develop a giant heavy water atomic furnace to be used in the manufacture of atomic bombs.

COMMUNICABLE

To the Editor:' The communica- ton from Betty Hammond concern ing the recent Northern Hotel fire. published in The Empire November 14th, was undoubtedly the opinion of many, many Juneau people. De- spite repeated threat of such trag- edies, these firetraps continue to exist.
 The various organizations of Ju- neau and the Territory are con- tinually plagueing the residents of Alaska for donations for endless causes both here and abroad, while the problem at hand in our own back yard goes on year after year with nothing done about it by those who have the influence to do so. Among these most recent donations, was that collected for the building of a new library, which I am told, is badly needed. The people living in the shanties called homes on South Franklin Street, Indian Village and elsewhere iii Juneau will probably be overjoyed to get new library for their use.
 Whether it is the fault of the City of Juneau and it's past and present administration, the fault of the Alaska Department of Health, or the fault of the people themselves, is a question that has been dis cussed by many people this past week.
 With the Health Departments main office situated right in Ju- neau, it would seem that the capi- tol city would set the pace for the enforcement of those health and safety regulations which would in many ways simplify the problem of fighting the fires by the men who volunteer their valuable serv- ices. If there are insufficient funds to carry out this enforcement pro- gram, can't this be brought up at the next Legislature?
 It is not for the little people like myself to decide what must be done to remedy the situation for we are without funds and influence to bring such a change about. But it definitely is the duty of all of us little people to stand behind the big people and support them if and when they decide to make an example of our town in the im- provement of the novels in which some of our neighbors are forced to live.
 (SigneO One of the little people.

The Anderson Stenographic-Re- porting Service, suspected of hand ing Secret Service transcript from the Kefauver crime committee to a Chicago Sun-Times reporter by mistake, is in for investigation, This is the same company which also transcribes tcp-secret atomic energy hearings. Some Truman advisers are convinced that the way to prepare for Truman's re- election bid in 1852 is a vigorous new program of liberal legisla- tion. Then, if the Republican, Dix iecrat coalition blocks him, Truman will have a progressive program to run on in 1852 Other advisers urge Truman to accept the olive branch from the Dixiecrats and bring unity to the Democratic Party.

Coolidge Did Not Choose"

Another young Democrat who surprised and perturbed President Coolidge was Carl Hayden of Ari- zona who defeated Ralph Cameron, a high ranking Republican on the appropriations committee.
 Even the chairman of the Repub- lican National committee, Sen. Will liam H. Butler of Massachusetts, the personal friend of Coolidge, was defeated that year by a young Democrat named David I. Walsh Butler had been appointed to the Senate, following the death of Henry Cabot Lodge. And 20 years -1946-another Henry Cabot Lodge, grandson Of the old Senator defeated Walsh, the man who de- feated Butler. So goes the cycle of politics.
 Coolidge, who like Truman, a former Vice President, had enter ed the White House in 1923 through death, and-again like Truman was easily reelected in 1924.
 But the 1926 off-year election put a coalition of Democrats and Progressive Republicans in control of the Senate, just as coalition of Republicans and Southern Dem- ocrats will now control under Tru- man. And in 1928 Coolidge decided that he did not choose to run ,
 Wonder if President Truman whose career has been strangely similar to Coolidge's, will choose likewise? Mrs. Truman very much wants him to.
 Nete-After Coolidge bowed out the Republicans, under Herbert Hoover, were overwhelmingly el ected in 1928 in the Al Smith cam paign, only to lose office in i93. and for 20 long years thereafter

apparent that her sympathies lay with the North Koreans. The United States has gone to extreme lengths to avoid any provocatons that might bring China into the struggle but is forced to demand that the United Nations investigate confirm and de- nounce China's intervention.
 Just what reasons impeled Moa Tze-tung to order his troops into Korea are not clear Had the Red general planned to follow Krennn strategy, he un- doubtedly would have moved in at time when Amer jeans were struggling desperately to hold dwindling beachhead He is reported to be able strategst, and the fact that held off until LIN forces neared the Chinese border suggests that altogether dit- ferent plan may be in operation
 It is possible that Mao may have been persuaded that the northward advance of LIN troops constituted threat to Red China Should this prove to be the case we believe that Mao has been deceived although he is intelligent and astute enough to know better and also to know that such aid to Russia is not in Chinas intreest.
 The intervention of the Chinese only be regarded as a part of the Soviet attempt to contain American forces the Korean mountains throughout the winter months.
 This fits nicely into the plans of Soviet strategsts who do not want to the United States wind up its Far Eastern intervention and then move quickly to augment it's military strength in Europe
 LIN forces will operate under severe handicaps if they are forced to fight on Chinese terms II they are compelled to confine their operations to Korean errtdry and ignore the Chinese troops mased on the other side of the Yalu River.
 Yet, if we extend the war eevn with such provocaton we risk involving ourselves lh all nterminable struggle to no purpose. And that is exactly what the men in the Kremlin want to do. Their plan is to use China gigantic decoy to draw off American military and economic resources
