 Communist members of Parlia- ment in Tokyo fought back defi- antly today against what they called conspiracies to outlaw the Con- munist party in Japan.
 Fearing a further crackdown by occupation authorities, the B re- maining Communist Diet members issued fighting statement. Already General Macarthur has purged 4l Red leaders from participation in public affairs.
 Macarthur warned yesterday that the Communist newspaper Akahata (Red Flag) may be closed or sub- jected to censorship if it does not change it's tune. Akahata kept ur l defiant tone.
 An Osaka newspaper, Chubu Nip oon, quoted one of Japan's assistant attorney generals as saying the ,hird purge of the Communist party will begin late this week."
 Rumors flew thick and fast. One said former Communist Secretary General Kyuichi Tokuda had fled from Japan with Soviet It. Gen. xuzma Derevyanko. Another rumor iaid all of the party's purged Polit- ouro members had escaped to Rus ,ia. The stories seemed groundless

Drug Ring Reaps
 Riches of 50,0O0
 Addiefs, 5o|ons Told

WASHINGTON, June 8 - R = Senate investigators studied reports today that a powerful underworld ring is reaping riches from the mis- cry of at least 50,000 drug addicts.
 The reports came from Commis- sioner H. J. Anslinger of the US. Narcotics Bureau. Anslinger's force of 175 agents, some Senators say. is too small to cope with the situa- ton.
 Anslinger gave his estimate of the number of narcotics addicts to the special committee investigating crime and gambling.
 Chairman Kefauver D-Tenm told reporters the number repre- sents those who buy narcotics l- legally-that is, from sources out side the medical world.
 Anslinger has given the Senate group a list of 800 persons who, he says, form a criminal ring dealing in narcotics, crime and even murder.
 Kefauver said it is obvious that the narcotics traffic extends to every city of any size in the United States.

GOVT. ECONOMIST
 INDICTED, PERJURY

NEW YORK, June 8-Rl-William w. Remington, government econ- omist, was indicted by Federal Grand Jury today on one perjury count for denying he ever was a member of the Communist party.
 The indictment was presented to Federal Judge John c. Clancy.
 It charged that when Remington vas asked on May 25 whether he ever had been a member of the Communist party, he replied:
 T never have been."
 The Grand Jury charged that Remington's answer was untrue in that the defendant had been a member of the Communist party"
 In Washington Remington quickly issued statement saying T am innocent"
 The 32-year-old Commerce De- partment economist had been ques- 5ioned once before by the grand jury. The Loyalty Review Board had cleared him after he was suspended from his job and he was reinstateo last October.
 Remington and Michael E. Lee who also held a $1O,0OO year post in the Office of International Trade, were instructed by Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer last month to quit their positions or be fired. Both refused to quit.
 Elizabeth Bentley, who named Alger Hiss and Whitaker Chambers as Communist, charged in July. l948 that she collected wartime secrets from Remington. He has consis- tently denied that he ever was a member of the Communist party.
 The next month Remington was suspended from his $10,000 year job in the Commerce Department.
 When Miss Bentley repeated her charges on a television program Remington sued her and two CO., defendants = the National Broad casting Company and General Foods Corporation-for $1O0,000 libel.
 The suit was settled for reported $10,000. Miss Bentley's attorney said she violently opposed" settlement of the suit.
 Last October the Loyalty Review Board cleared Remington ot the disloyalty charge and he was rein stated in his Job.
 The special federal grand jury renewed an investigation of Rem 'ington last month.
 On May 16 Remington's divorced wife, Mrs. Ann Moos Bennington of Alexandria. Va, spent nearly five hours with the jury.

Grand Jury 1. On Amerasia
 Investigation

WASHINGTON, June = R - A Congressional source said today that a secret Federal Grand Jury is looking into the 1945 Amerasia case in New York.
 The source, who asked not to be named, said the Grand Jury has called many of the witnesses whc nave appeared before a Senate Committee which is looking into the secret documents case.
 Later, Senator Ferguson (R-Mich also told reporters he had been re liably informed" a grand jury in- luiry was under way.
 The Senate group is centering its attention on the question of who delayed arrests in the affair.
 It is reported to have received secret testimony that the late James V. Forrestal probably ad. vised delaying them.
 A source in close touch with the inquiry said Forrestal's name wa mentioned by Assistant Attorney General James M. McInerney. The source asked not to be named.
 McInerney was on hand in New York today when the Grand Jury convened for an afternoon session.
 Asked if he would appear before it and testify in the Amerasia case McInerney replied:
 NO comment"
 The Senate group also reportedly has heard a suggestion that James K. Vardaman, former Presidential aide, asked the delay. The commit tee called Vardaman to closed door session today.
 Vardaman already has told news men that he never had finger ir the case; that he didn't even know anything about it.
 A Senate Foreign Relations sub- committee is looking into the war time Amerasia episode as part of its general investigation of charges ol Communism in the government.
 The case involved discovery o1 hundreds of secret government doc uments in the New York offices ot Amerasia, a magazine no longer published. It wound up with the fining of two persons. Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis) has charged there was a cover up" in the prosecution of the case.
 Mccarthy also has contended the Senate committee, headed by Sen- ator Tydings (D-Md). is trying tc "whitewash" the administration o1 his charges the State Department harbors Communists.
 Senator Taft (R-Ohio) joined to- day in the "whitewash" complaint

CAB HITTING IRREGULAR5;
 NEW LIMITS

WASHINGTON, June - tR = The Civil Aeronautics Board says it proposes to place sharp limits on frequency of service by the large irregular air carriers.
 A public notice on the proposal asserted such carriers-whose op- erating permits provide for irregular service only-will not be permitted to make more than eight flights in the same direction between any two points i'll any four successive weeks.
 In addition the board proposes tc set a tighter limit of three flights in the same. direction during any four-week period between New York and Miami. Puerto Rico. Los Angeles, San Francisco. Chicago and Detroit; and between Chicago and Los Angels. San Francisco, Seattle Washington and Miami,
 The board said:
 Any carrier desiring to give truly irregular service will find that this restriction will not hamper it's op- erations."
 Those interested in conmentinq on the plan were invited to submit statements by July 10. They will be examined prior to final action.
 The proposal stems from the boards effort to prevent the ir- regular lines from operating reg ularly in competition with the com panies licensed for regular routes. CAB last year put an end to the blanket authority under which the irregular airlines were operating and began calling these lines in individually for licensing after examing their proposed services. Most of the individual cases thus far disposed of have included the restrictions on frequency of service now proposed for the i'-egulars gen. orally.

DRAFT EXTENSION SENT
 TO UPPER HOUSE

WASHINGTON. June 8-R A three-year extension of the peace time Draft Act was recommended to the Senate today by its Armed Services Committee
 The present Draft Act is due to expire June 24.
 The Senate bill would continue the Presidents power to order act ual inductions of youths between l8 and 26 years if he found it necessary.
 It also includes an amendment by Senator Russell D-GaD to re- quire racial segregation in any ot the Armed Services if this is re- quested in writing by any person drafted.
 Under direction of President Tru- man, all Armed 6ervices-Army Navy and Air Force-have been gradually eliminating segregation of whites and negroes.
 The Russell amendment appar- ently would require separate racial units for draftees who requested it
 The Senate bill differs widely from one previously passed by the House and on which Senate hear ings were held.
 The House bill extended the present act for only two years in- stead of three asked by the admin istration. It also gives Congress control over actual inductions. Men could not be drafted until the law makers declared a national emer- gency or found that inductions were needed to meet manpower needs by concurrent resolution.
 Before the committee acted, the Chamber of Commerce of the Uni ted States had issued a statement urging extension of the Draft Act for three years and giving the Pres ident power to order inductions.

HALIBUT SELL FOR HIGHEST PRICE IN
 JUNEAU'5 HISTORY

Halibut from the boat Arden to- day brought the highest prices ever paid in Juneau, and buyers were at a loss to explain the reason why.
 The boat, commanded by Olaf Larson, brought to port l2,O0O pounds of mediums, 1000 pounds of large, and 1900 pounds of chick ems. It was the only boat to larid fish today.
 Two buyers dropped out of the bidding when the offers for med iums and large approached "A cents per pound. But Elton Eng strom hung on, bidding against Alaska Coast Fisheries until that company offered 24.45 cents for mediums, 24.35 cents for large, and 1910 for chickens.
 The load went to Alaska Coast Fisheries at those prices.
 Prices have been climbing stead fly since shortly after the opening of the halibut season May 1.
 Engstrom today termed it "an amazing situation"
