Local Teams Chalk Up Tow Wins in Opening
 Games of Season Here

The basketball season officially opened last Friday in Palmer with two wins and a loss for three teams of Palmer quintets appearing on the card at the gym naSium here. In the first game of the evening the JayVeeS went down to defeat in a close game with Wasilla by a score of 28 to P. The following two games spelled victory for the Palmerites when the high school team, fea- tured for the evening, beat the 54th Troop Carrier Squadron from Ft. Richardson with final score of 38 to 25. Following the high school triumph the team sponsored by the Matanuska hotel stepped out on the floor against the 68th AAA team also from Ft. Richardson. When the fur had quit flying the score stood at 35 to 31 in favor of the hotel squad.
 The JayVees were surprised by the smooth working squad brought from Wasilla, although the score was close throughout the game. In the last quarter Wa silla dug in and started to let fly with the baskets, beating the Jay Wees by 28 to p. Wade of Palmer was high point man with eight points, with Dinkel of Wasilla

LOOKING FOR CLEAN,

uNioN sIoVE oIL-a highly dis titled oil for use in stoves, space heaters, burners and high-speed, lightweight Diesel engines.
 UNION BURNER oIL-for auto. matic burners and furnaces, Diesel and semi Diesel engines. UNION KERosENE-Made by the famed Edeleanu process, it burns for long periods without smok- ing, damaging wicks or devel- oping fumes.
Valley frontiersman., 1950-11-24

The most important thing about a fuel oil is that it be clean. Union fuel oils are refined and trans ported with the same degree of care as premium gasoline. This means that when delivered to you they are completely free from moisture and foreign sub stances. It means they'll do a soot free, economical, depend able job wherever you put them to work. Try them next time.

Johnson then read a 10-minute opening statement, after which the Senators began machine-gun- ming. Most of the quizzing was done by three Republicans-Alex Smith of New Jersey, Bourke Hick- enlooper of Iowa, and Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. The three extra Republicans, not members of the committee, were Bill Know land of California, Leverett Salton- stall of Massachusetts, and Ed Thye of Minnesota. They asked no ques- tions, except for Knowland who scribbled queries for Hickenlooper to ask.
 The Secretary of Defense refer red most of the questions to Gen. eral Bradley, who peered through his glasses and shuffled through papers like a school teacher On military questions he gave factual expository, Complete with dates and details, but on political and economic subjects, he dodged gently.

McCARRAN CHARGES

Senator Pat MCarron, O. Nev9' whose needle long ago stuck in the cracked of his hatred for foreigners, has new charge against the displaced persons His investigation he says. shows the country has been opened to flood of aliens who will become ready recruits to subversive organizations There have been he said "nnumerable instances of whole sale fraud misrepresentation fictitious documents and perjury" by those seeking admission to the United States
 It just possibly could be. And of course the Senator will have be permitted every opportunity to spread all of his evidence, if any. on the table
 Yet it's worth remembering this fact: Any dis placed person trying to get into this nation goes through several screenings. He is screened by the International Refugee Organization an agency of the United Nations. He is screened by the FBI. He is screened by the U. S. Counter Intelligence Corps He is screened by special group that represents the State Department and the Immigration and Naturall- zaton Service And he is screened by the Displaced Persons Commission
 Maybe some subversves do get through the mul- tple fine mesh But Senator McCarran has rather large burden of proof on his shoulders.

MacArthur's Spokesman

Bradley admitted that Formosa had strategic significance" but he made it clear the island was not worth the price If American blood.
 If we lost Fcrmosa," demanded Hickenlooper, would the west coast oe in danger?"
 Bradley shook ms head.
 Weightiest questions came from Senator Smith, the eX-Princeton professor, who recently got pep talk from Macarthur on Formosa and who read off three pages of complicated written queries, ob- viously representing General Mac Arthur's ideas.
 Have you had the benefit of General MacArthur's views?" Smith asked as starter.
 Bradley replied that MacArthur's views had been taken fully into consideration"
 Do you feel at liberty to give us his views?" Smith pressed.
 Bradley agreed, but the Senator from New Jersey went ahead with his questions. It was apparent from this discussion that Macarthur was now in accord with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, though he had been more urgent in his original recommendations.
 Senator Lodge wanted to know whether there had been a conflict between the Defense and State Departments over the Fohmosa policy. Johnson hastily assured that there had been no split, that the two Departments had exchanged views and submitted their recon- mendations to the Security Coun- cil Then, after examining all sides the President had made his deci- sion.
 Even the Republicans went away from the meeting convinced that armed intervention was not the solution on Formosa.

About That Statehood Bill
(Ketchikan News)

Ketchikan News)
 Let's not get excited over statehood.
 Even if the bill is passed at this session Of Con- gress we have long way to go.
 It will have to be approved by the Senate as well as the lower House.
 The next thing will be for Alaskans to elect Constitutional convention to draw up State Constl- tuition.
 This in turn will have to be approved by the voters and then by Congress.
 It all means that regardless of smooth sailing for every phase of the statehood bill it will be at least two years before we shall have actual sef-govern- ment.
 Naturally all want statehood.
 Indeed, Aaskans have been working toward full statehood for a good many years During that time they have gradually succeeded in enlargng their Ter ritoria powers. What they wanted and still want are full statehood rights not emascuated form of fed eralized statehood
 Alaskans still must keep working for this end.
 Meantime the rainbow chasers after election honors will continue to beat the drums claiming credit, and trying to ride into office on statehood sentiment" which is fundamental with all Alaskans. And those politicians who hold out hope of immediate statehood are either exhibiting their ignorance or trying to make political capital out of the statehood question:

THESE DAYS
GEORGE .. SOKOLSKY THE AREA OF CONFLICT

The Russian empire is our prob lem not because the Russian ec- onomic system is based upon Marx ism xiialectics but because the spread of Russian power closes an increasingly large part of the world to intercourse with the Un- tied States except on terms author ized by the Kremlin.
 The involuntary isolation of the United States is not only Rus sian aim, amply proclaimed, but it is a necessity at the present stage of the development of the Russian empire. It is necessity, because in the building stage of this empire, outside influences, both material and intellectual, may be destructive. The crime of Titoism, upon which the Kremlin lays such emphasis, is precisely that-the con- flict between Kremlin and western thought upon the YugoSlav people.
 In the incredibly short period of 10 years, the Russian empire has increased its population from 180,- 100000 to 80O,00O0o0. The latter figure. may seem over-simplified on the assumption that all the components of that empire are not entirely and wholly part of the new universal state. That argu- ment, however, would have held true of Ceasar's world or Nap oleon's world. Even in the earliest stages of the formation of an enf- pire, resistance appears and con- tinues until the empire collapses The British empire, the loosest and most liberal of empires, always en-

Missouri hound dog paying at the moon. It would merely be twisted for propaganda purposes.
 Already, the White House has noted, the Russians have started a new and phony peace offensive. On Jan. 20, at the very same time Moscow had initiated a new block ade in Germany, Prof. EurSalimSky put out the following peace over lures on the Moscow radio:
 "Comrade Stalin pointed out that peaceful cooperation between the capitalist world and the Soviet Union remains in force and the possibility of peace cooperation does not only not diminish, but can even increase. The proposal to con- clude a pact of peace between the USSR and the United States, as well as the proposal of pact of the five great powers for the strengthening of peace are fresh and convincing evidence of the reace-loYing foreign policy of the USSR.
 Tn its international policy the USSR is guided by the principle of the possibility of the lasting CO., existence of two opposite systems the socialist and capitalist sys- tens. The whole of the foreign policy of the USSR bears testimony to the fact that the USSR is un- answerably acting as the partisan of peaceful relations with all those countries which in their turn desire to cooperate for the best of the world"
