Reds Demand
Re m oval Of
Korea Force
Peace" Proposal Threat
ems Security Coun-
Gil with Veto

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. = lR =
Russia today demanded the imme-
date withdrawal of United States
and all other foreign troops from
Korean soil as part of two-point
Soviet peace" proposal. 1t asked
the Security Council to hear both
the North and South Koreans, and
threatened to exercise its veto power
unless the Council hears the North
Koreans.
A Soviet resolution was laid be-
fore the 11-nation Security Coun-
Gil by Jakob A. Malik as counter
to a United States proposal de-
signed to prevent the spread of the
fighting to other areas.
1.-The ISSUE" Malik said, ''is
whether the Security Council will
adopt a decision for peace or for
war"
The brief Soviet resolution pro-
vided for:
l. Immediate cessation of hostiI-
ties in Korea and withdrawal of all
foreign troops.
2. Inviting representatives of Red
China and the Korean people to
take part in U.N. peace negotiations.
Malik made it clear he would veto
the US. proposal by pointing out
that he regarded the issue as mat
ter of substance. CThis means it
can be killed if any one of the five
big. powers vote against IT'D
Malik told the council 1T should
invite both parties participating in
these hostilities"-tha is, both the.
North and South Koreans.

SAILING OF
ALASKA IS
OFF 1 DAY
Security Check Demanded
Of clio Cooks, Stewards
Cause of Trouble

SEATTLE, Aug. 4-lR-A prob
able showdown doomed today for
the Alaska Steamship Company and
members of the CIO-Marine Cooks
and Stewards Union fired by the
company yesterday for refusal to
undergo a security check.
The scheduled sailing of the
steamship Alaska this morning was
delayed for the second straight day
while representatives of the firm
and maritime unions continued in
closed conference beyond 10 am,
the sailing time.
The steward department person.
mel refused Tuesday to sign aboard
the steamer Alaska unless assured
that their sea papers would not be
scrutinized by Coast Guard screen
ing officers.
The security program was agreed
upon last week in Washington, DC,
during conference attended by a
majority of the maritime unions.
The Marine Cooks and Stewards
was not one of the participating
groups.
Company officials set today fore
noon as the Alaskas tentative de-
parture time after the stewards
action stymied yesterdays scheduled
sailing The ITO passengers, mostly
round-trip tourists. slept aboard ship
last night and were taken uptown
by buses for their meals.
There was a possibility also that
the dispute might spread before
tonight. The company's steamer
Baranof is to sign on its crew to-
day. A similar refusal by its steward
personnel might delay its scheduled
sailing with 200 passengers at II
am. Saturday.
The company's dismissal order
came several hours after $50 mem
bers of the Sailors Union of the
Pacific held a special meeting and
refused to sail unless all crewmen
aboard the Alaska underwent Sc
curity check.
1--WE are not going to risk the
danger of sabotage" said Make
Weisbarth, Seattle port agent for
the SUP.
Where the company planned to
obtain steward department person.
mel was not disclosed. The indie
pendent Pacific Marine Stewards
Union offered to fill any vacancies
left by firing the CLIO men.
Such a course of action, however,
conceivably would leave the COM
pany open for retaliatory unloading
problems in Alaska.

BILL JUNkED
Weak Controls Bill, Sub
jet 10 Amendment, Is
Still Alive in House

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-tRl-The
House today junked its mandatory
wage and price curb bill and started
over on the job of writing an eco
nomic control measure.
Beginning with the limited con-
trolls President Truman has asked,
the House added an anti-hoarding
provision as its first step in trying
to put together a new and broader
bill. Approved liz to As, this would
make hoarders subject to a year in
prison and $4,000 fine.
The mandatory price bill
providing for ceilings to go on auto
matically if living costs rise per-
cent above the level of June IS
was denounced yesterday by Presi-
dent Truman He called it an invi-
tation for five percent rise.
The House threw it out on a
standing vote of 172 to 161 on which
the members were not recorded by
name. The idea had been tentativ-
ely approved yesterday 159 to 1913.
Starting Point
The action left before the House
controls bill providing only
standby ALLEGATION and prioriiies
powers for the President, authority
to requisition war-needed materials,
to grant production loans and to
curb credits.
This bill, however, was subject
to amendment to add wage-price
controls.
The junking of the mandatory
bill climaxed four days of House
maneuvering.
Today's vote tossed out the
amended substitute and left the
House back where it started-with
the Banking Committees bill.
Changes Proposed
The House began then to deal
with proposed changes in the COM
mittee bill
First, Rep. Crawford (R-Mich)
wanted to change the policy dec
lation. He didn't like assertions that
the bills powers were needed for
this country's support of the United
Nations and mutual defense. His
attempt to change the language was
defeated on a standing vote of 131
to 81.
The House next slapped down a
proposal by Rep. Hoffman CR-Mich)
that the Secretaries of Defense,
Commerce and the Treasury be- re-
quired to establish fair average
prices ON all materials and services
as a guide to federal and local
agencies for enforcing fair prices.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-R-The
House junked its mandatory price
wage curbs today and then quit
until Tuesday, with the administra-
tions economic control bill still UP
in the air.
It called a weekend recess in
legislative laundering amid SEEM
ingly growing sentiment for price
and wage controls pegged to the
cost of living.
Before knocking off work, the
House twice beat down efforts TO
vote President Truman standby
price and wage controls and tenta-
lively accepted stiff withdrawing
provision.
Thus after four full days of de-
bate and confused parliamentary
uproar, the House was just about
where it was when it started.
About the only positive action
of the day was adding an anti
boarding provision to the legisla-
ton. Approved 112 to as, this would
make hoarders subject to a year
in prison and $4,000 fine.

WASHINGTON = AS Congress-
ional leaders gathered in his office
to discuss the Presidents request
for an additional $4-hillion to arm
our allies, Truman opened the
meeting by urging everyone tc
speak freely and give me your
opinions. He got his wish.
There were two verbal explos-
ions at the secret session, one from
Democratic Senator Tom Copnally
of Texas, who demanded that some
of the $4-billion be diverted from
ECA spending; another from COP
Congressman Dewey Short of Mis-

Congressional committees.
Are all these millions for econ

pointing out that if the U. S. A.
must tighten it's belt economically
for war, our European friends
should expect less economic help
from us. why can't some of it
be used for military aid?" the
Texas senator asked.

Tank, Infantry Fighting on Korean War From
DELEGATE Bartlett Makes
Charges, Statehood Issue;
Assai|s Those Who Oppose
BY CHARLES d. WATKINS

w hDAlllNNI NV, aug. VA
Delegate Bartlett of Alaska charged
today that "a few individuals seek
ing personal profit" are trying to
defeat the Alaska statehood bill.
Organizations devoted to the
protection of minority rights have
been badly fooled" by these indi-
viduals, Bartlett told the House.
He said that "a very few people
in Washington are opposing state
hood because they believe its at
tainment might shatter the dreams
they are entertaining of having re-
servations created wholesale
throughout Alaska"
Personal Reasons
Bartlett said the people he was
talking about fear making Alaska a
state would interfere with their
highly personal plans"
He assailed persons and organiza-
lions he said are trying to mislead
members of the Senate to bring
about defeat of the House-passed
bill
The attacks on the bill, he said,
are based on a clause inserted by
the Senate Interior Committee. This
provides that no native reservations
shall be established in Alaska until
after the statehood program is COM
pleted.
Bartlett said this would take
about two years.
The present situation would not
be changed as Secretary Chapman
Of the Interior Department already
has announced he will not sign
orders for additional reservations
until after a complete study OF the
situation, Bartlett said. He added
that such a study would take more
than two years.
Statehood Opposition
He listed the National Civil Lib
critics Clearing House, the National
Congress of American Indians, John
Rainier of the National Congress OF
American Indians, Oliver La Fargo,
President Of the Association OF
American Indian Affairs, and former
Secretary Of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes among persons he SAID
had opposed the statehood bill on
the ground the clause inserted by
the committee would take away ma
tive rights. He said they are not
familiar with the facts.
The Delegate said no Alaskan had
had any part in inserting the clause.
1T was the judgment OF the Sen
ate committee that it should be IN
Guided" Bartlett said. so far as
I am concerned I do not believe II
will damage the native people IN
the slightest; nor would object
for a moment to its deletion.'
Oppose Reservations
Bartlett said he wanted to see the
question of native rights in Alaska
settled fairly for the natives ana tne
white people. He said the reserva-
ton policy had been found wanting
in the states and until recently has
been opposed by Alaskan natives.
He added he opposes creation OF
reservations.
'"Those who urged votes against
the Alaska statehood bill because OF
reservations are really arguing
against statehood" he concluded.
They want Alaska to be substan-
TALLY one reservation; in that re-
servation there could be little prog
ress, little room for happiness, no
room for development, and the only
ones who would be satisfied would
be the hired attorneys

MOBILE, ALABAMA

Others trace the practice to a
Biblical period of which the Mid
rash states that until the time of
the Patriarch Jacob no illness
preceded death. A person would
die suddenly after a sneeze. The
sneeze' was thus the omen of
death. Wishing a person Gee
zundheit" would thus be- a means
of wishing him that his sneeze
brings him health rather than
death.
-
QUESTION: Why is it custom.
arY to pull ones ear after sneez-
ing or after mention of the dead?
ANSWER: Some claim that it
was only customary to pull ones
ear after the mention of the dead
and the sneeze occurred stimuli
taneously. At any rate, it seems
that this custom came into exist
ence even when the two occurred
separately. The reason that is Of
fered is very fascinating.
Adam. is said to have brought
death into the world by the fact
he didn't ''listen" to the Com
mandment of the Lord which for
babe him to eat of the Tree of
knowledge. He made matters
worse when hiding from CD, not
listening to Him when he called
after the sin had been committed.
Therefore, either when sneezing,
which was the original sign of
death, or when mentioning the
dead, one pulls his ear as token
that he remembers the failure Of
Adam and that his ears are wide
open and that he does not antici-

QUESTION: Why is it custom
ary to say "Gezundheit" to a per.
son who has just sneezed( YU.
Boston.)
ANSWER: Several reasons are
advanced. Some claim it is be-
cause there are certain diseases
where a sneeze sometimes pre-
cedes death. Thus the expression
"Gezundheit" indicates the desire
of the onlooker to be a well
wisher" in the sense that he sin
cerely hopes that this sneeze is an
omen of good health.

It's Your Business

dog stand down the street or the
candy store on the corner. But, you
say, "big" business is different.
You're right, it is different. The chief
difference is that most large firms
are Corporations" which are owned
by many people rather than just
one or two persons. Maybe the hot
dog man and the candy store owner
maybe even you-own these big
businesses. That's very likely, for
the people of America do own them.
Sometimes you'll find fellow who
is afraid of that word corporation.
Mostly, that is because he does not
understand what it means. The mod
ern corporation is built around this
idea: many people working together
can sometimes do things in a better
way than just one or two can do
them alone. You see, it takes a lot
of money for an automobile factory
or an oil refinery. But we have
them, even if they do cost millions
of dollars to build. Then who'll build
them?
Risk and Venture
There is hardly anybody who
would want to lay down ten or
twenty million dollars for new
industrial venture. Few have that
much money, and fewer still would
want to risk that much at a time
But there are many of us who
would like to invest little, hoping
for a small return on our money.
This may be done through the cor
poration. 1t obtains a charter from
the state, which permits it to seek
capital by inviting people to take
shares of stock. Money thus put up
by stockholders" is used to build
factories, to gather in machinery
and materials, and to handle payrolls
until earnings come in. If managed
well, the company may pay divi-
dends to those who put up their
money.
Money Working
There are perhaps 100000 corpo-
rations in America. Some of them
are small. Others are equipped and
financed by thousands of people for
the purpose of doing big jobs well.
Anyone who buys stocks or bonds
is direct investor. There are per-
haps 20 million such persons, and
they hardly could be called "bloated
capitalists"
About half of all corporation
dividends 60 to persons with annual
incomes under $4,000. But whether
they be called rich or poor, those
who invest money in corporations
are very important to all of us. Their
investments help make jobs and
create payrolls.
The People Own
In America, not two or three fam
lilies nor favorite political clique
nor even the government, but the
people own the tools of production.
Anyone of us may invest in corpora
tons. Besides direct investors, any,
one who pays for life insurance or
has bank savings should be inter-
ested in the welfare of corporations.
That is true because insurance
companies and banks invest in vari-
GUS industrial enterprises the money
they receive from you. In this addi-
tional way, ownership of corpora
tions is spread throughout the land.
Management, labor, investors-all
work together to make business and |
industry hum with production.
Everyone benefits This is the mira
Gle of Americas free enterprise.
