SOME DEMOS SAY
 SPENDING CAN BE
 CUT TO BALANCE UP

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is -R- Some Democrats disagreed today with President Trumans claim that it is impossible to cut federal spend- ing enough to balance the budget.
 Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Finance Committee told a reporter he thinks that if Congress wanted to balance income and outgo it could get the job done.
 The most distressing part of the present federal economic situation is the unwillingness to face facts and bring about a reduction in fed eral expenditures" George said. T not only think we could balance the budget but that we must balance it."
 MT. Truman said in his Jefferson Jackson speech Thursday night that it is "out of the question" to make revenues meet expenses merely by slicing the SAP. .439 100000 outlays he recommended for the year beginning July l.
 Senator Byrd D-Va), longtime economy advocate. sided with George in declaring that the budget could be balanced if Congress was willing to take off it's coat and do the job.

Pension Loss Threatened |fShunqnak Reservation
 Rejetied, BeIiz Charge,

ANCHORAGE Alaska, Feb. 18-- R-Territorial Representative Will liam F. Beltz charged today that Kobuk and Shungnak natives have been threatened with loss of old age assistance and school aid funds if they reject Interior Department plans for establishment of a reser- vation.
 The Second Division Representa- tive, resident of Nome, wired the Anchorage Times that he had learned of the threats after inter- viewing II old age pensioners in the two villages.
 T found," Beltz said, that these people and others were made to understand if they didn't vote for the reservation they would lose those funds
 The residents of those two vill- ages are scheduled to vote April "A on the proposal by former h. terior Secretary Julius Krng.
 Earlier this week, Interior Secre- tary Chapman asked the Senate Interior Committee to look into charges that Eskimos and Indians had been intimidated. Committed Chairman Joseph O'Mahoney tD- Wyo) said the committee probably would act after confering Witl Delegate Bartlett of Alaska.
 Beltz said he had made person. al investigation of the situation in response to an appeal from Charlie Sheldon, of Kobuk. He quoted Sheldon as reporting the threats were made in a schoo house meeting.

NATIVE SERVICE TOO
 BUSY TO INFLUENCE ELECTIONS: FOSTER

Declaring that the Alaska Native Service has too much work to do to spend their time and the tax payers money in influencing reser- vation elections" Don c. Foster the services area director, today answered the charge of Alaska Dele gate E. c. (Bob) Bartlett that na- tives were under undue influence in their reservation elections.
 Foster returned late this week from an extended tour of ANS in- stallations, schools and hospitals which began before the Barrow elec- tion several weeks ago.
 With or without reservations, he said, the Alaska Native Service has too much work to do to spend their time and the taxpayers money in influencing or coercing reservation elections.
 q am certain Bob Bartlett has been misinformed about so-calleo pressure campaigns by ANS per
 ,onnei, and we welcome the Con-
 gressional investigation which Sec retary Chapman has requested"
 The election to accept or reject 750-square mile reservation around Barrow was overwhelmingly rejected
 February when some $50 Eskimos balloted on the proposal.
 With that statement, Foster dis missed comment about the investi-
 yation of influence" the Native Service is alleged to have made or he referendums for the three highly controversial eservation plans treated by former Secretary of the Interior Julius Krug
 Krug set up Barrow, another area around Shungnak and Kobuk and a third around Hydaburg, the day before he stepped out of office Elections were set for early thlf year, but later postponed. Shungnas and Hydaburg will be voted on latt in April.
 Chance for Inspection 'As a matter of fact" Foster said
 I was on my way to Shungnak tt observe that election when I re. ceived word the election had beer

 which I have wanted to make fol years-to see our people at work il the dead of winter, when the Eskimo is at home"

NEW CLUE
 IN CRASH
 OF (-54
Mounties Leave White. horse on Search Follow
 ing Report by Indian
By Clarke Beach

WHITEHORSE, Y. T. Feb. 18-tR The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are striking into the brush early today to follow up a new lead on the C-54 transport plane missing in the Yukon wilderness since Jan. 26.
 An Indian came in from the snow-filled forests yesterday at Burwash Landing, about 176 miles northwest of here on the Alaska Highway. He told the mounties that on Jan. 26 he had heard loud crash on mountain near where he was camping on Gladstone Creek, north of Kluane Lake.
 Since then, the Indian said, he has seen indications of landslides on the mountain. And he has seen large flocks of Whiskey Jacks, a scavenger bird typical of this area The Indian did not try to ascend the mountain.
 The Mounted Police estimated that the position pointed out is about Is miles west of Burwash landing.
 A Constable of the Mounties will lead a party into the heavily forest ed area after daybreak. He has not flied American Army officers in the Burwash section, and it is expected that they will give assistance.
 Dog sleds will be used, and, pos sibly, weasels the small tracked vehicle which the American Army uses in overland work in this re- gion)
 1t will be a rough, cross-country trek, as there are probably no trails in the area. It may take two days or more.
 The missing C-54 was carrying A persons out of Anchorage, all service personnel, except woman and child.
 The plane was homeward bound from Alaska to the United StacSi and was over Snag, about $50 miles northwest of here, when last re- ported.

SMOKE SEEN INC-54AREA;
 CHECK SOON

EDMONTON, Alta, Feb. 18-tR- An unexplained column of smoke was reported in northern British Columbia yesterday and Northwest Air Command officials said it would be checked in the continuing search for U. s. Air Force C-54 transport missing since Jan. 26 with A aboard.
 The smoke was reported to the Royal Canadian Air Force by the Forest Ranger at Fort St. John, B c. It was seen 60 miles west of Beatton River, in an area where there is no known habitation.

TRAIN5R|p HEAD0N IN
 COLLISION
Dead, Dying, Injured Piled Five Deep-Sueams of vie- tims Are Heard for Blocks

ROCKVILLE CENTRE. NY. Feb l8-tR-A crowded Long Island rail- road commuter tram sped through 2 stop signal last night and ripped headon into another passenger rain. killing 29 persons and injur- ng 100. Many of the injured were n critical condition.
 It was metropolitan New York's worst railroad disaster, and the worst in the nation in four years.
 The accident occurred on a make shift siding where a temporary gauntlet track was laid pending completion of grade crossing pro- ject. The gauntlet consists of double tracks placed so close together only one train at time can pass over the roadbed.
 Jacob Kiefer, 55, of Baldwin, NY, motorman of the eastbound train, was arrested and charged with sec- ond degree manslaughter.
 Runs Past Signal
 He ran past the signal" Nassau County District Attorney Frank Gulotta said
 Motorman T. w. Markin of the westbound train was too dazed to be questioned. He was sent home suf- fering from shock.
 The head cars of both electric trains were torn apart by the colli- sion. which occurred at l0:35 pm. tEST. The forward car of the east bound train, loaded with early home-going theater crowds from Manhattan. was slneared down the middle. It toppled over. spewing mangled bodies and wreckage along the siding.
 The dead, dying and injured were piled five deep atop one another. They sprawled grotesquely amid the twisted steel of the cars. the shat tered glass and crushed seats. Screams of injured victims could be heard for blocks.
 Police said that the eastbound train ran through a red stop signal as 1t entered the siding. The first car had almost cleared the s'ngle track when the westbound train, coming down double tracks on the other approach to the siding, crashed into it at Is degree angle.
 The impact of the collision sheared the leading cars of both trains in half The steel sides of the two coaches were torn and inter- mingled.
 The two trains carried some 1000 passengers, many of whom had crowded into the forward cars. All the dead and injured were from the metropolitan area.
 Kiefer was injured - but not critically-and police guard was placed at his home until he could be moved to the county jail for arraignment Later, a doctor said Kiefer suffered possible brain con- cussion and could not be questlonec for at least 72 hours.
