 Foreign (rafI

WASHINGTON. April 22-IR-- While Russian planes have orders to fire on foreign aircraft which fly over their territory and refuse to land. American pilots have or ders not to shoot under similar circumstances unless instructed to do so from the ground.
 The difference was pointed up yesterday by Russia's note reject ing a U. s protest over the shoot ing down of an American Navy plane by Soviet fighters.
 The note from Moscow made clear that Russian pilots have standing instructions to use their guns when foreign aircraft resist a command to land on Soviet ter ritory
 American airmen could not fire on their own hook unless the for eign rlane committed an openly hostile act, the air force said.
 Under recent order covering the Continental United States the North Atlantic Corridor and Am erican bases overseas, unidentified planes are to be challenged and pursued until they turn away from restricted areas.

 By DREW PEARSON

HASHINGTON-The public does- n't know it, but the real reason for waste regarding Veterans Hospitals is politics. It is also why con- scientious Dr. Paul Magnuson, Chief of the Veterans Administrations medical division, has been on the point of resigning.
 He wants hospitals located where medical conditions are best, while genial Veterans Administrator Carl Gray sometimes locates them where political conditions are best. Un- like Gen. Omar Bradley, he does n't know how to stand up against political pressure
 Here are some specific examples:
 Muley Bob Doughton's Hospital The V. A. will soon build a 1000 bed neuropsychiatric hospital at Salisbury, N. O., despite the fact that medical authorities want it at Durham or Winston-Salem where it would be near Duke University or the future site of Wake Forest College Doctors always like to place neuropsychiatric hospitals near medical centers, because nerve patients have a complication of dis eases.
 This view was also supported by

NOLAN REFUTES
 CHARGES MADE
 IN LEG. CAMPAIGN

Contrary to rumors, have not made any deals with anyone" James Nolan, Democratic candidate for nomination as First Division Sena- tor in Tuesdays Primary Election declared to The Empire today.
 In Juneau from his home in Wrangell, Nolan, who is Democratic Divisional Committee chairman, called attention to his party work since before Roosevelt"
 He has lived in Alaska 30 years. worked in the marble quarries al Tokeen, as a sawmill worker. ana for ten years was seiner.
 For the last 25 years he has op- erated his own business in Wran- gell where he served on the city council, was active in fraternal af- fairs. He has twice been elected to the Territorial Legislature as a members of the House of Repre- sentatives. During his last term he was speaker of the House, during the Special Session of the Legisla- ture and chairman of the Ways and Means committee during the regular session. He was also mem Der for the House on the Specia Auditing Committee.
 These committee assignments have given me a first-hand know. edge of the financial condition oi she Territory and the changes nc cessary to get away from the pre- sent horse and buggy fiscal setup We need a closer fiscal control.
 Tt is my contention that enough ax laws have been passed to fur. nish the necessary money to givs decent pensions to our aged, moro money for dependent children, bet ter health and welfare program: and the continued high efficiency oi )ur school setup.
 Therefore, I am opposed to any further taxes or tax increases. I be- lieve that the fishermen were hi harder by taxes at the last session than any other one group. That was why I fought against the Raw Fish Tax. If we are not careful, we vii. ax our fishermen out of the world markets"
 Nolan said that he had been att lacked for not going down the line for all labor measures.
 "A true picture of the behind .he-scene action on some of these pills would show why it would be impossible to go all-out on some of he measures.
 However. my labor record is bet :er than some of the people woulo nave you believe. On table in { labor publication, I was listed a. having voted right on IS measures and wrong on 10. A check of the record will show that, according to ,abors own qualification of right pr wrong I was right on IT bills md wrong on 8.
 T have been in business long enough to know that when the working man prospers, then the business man and everyone else prospers.
 Therefore, believe it vitally i'm portant to make it possible fos people to-, secure work at decent wages. under good working condi- tions and pleasant labor-manage- ment relations"
 Nolan is proud of his endorsement by the Wrangell and Juneau Alaska Native Brotherhood.
 After having been in Juneau lr the interests of his campaign for the last few days, he returns th,{ weekend to his home in Wrangell.

Question-Answer Booklet Tells
Latest News on Heart Disease

Can heart disease be cured? Is
a heart murmur" sign of heart
disease? Can worry damage the
heart?
These are some of the ques-
tions answered in a 24-page book
let published by the Washington
Heart Association to tell the pub
lie about heart disease, what can
be done about it and where it can
be treated.
Covering a wide range of in
formation, the booklets will be
distributed to schools, business
firms, government agencies, Ii
braries and hospitals as part of
the society's educational program,
DR.. j. Ross Veal, president, an
nounced last night.

been printed so far, and that,
depending on available funds,

types of heart disease, the type
of care needed in each and a de-
tailed directory of the IL hos
pitals and clinics available here
for diagnosis and treatment.
On some of the common ques-
tions. the booklet says:
Many kinds of heart disease can
be cured by drugs and surgery,
and other forms can be con-
trolled.
A large percentage of heart
"murmurs" are of no significance
as far as disease is concerned.
And worry, which may aggra-
vate existing heart conditions and
produce other symptoms, cannot
in itself damage the heart.

 The heavy smoke at first made it impossible to try to save tires, supplies and records of the ga- rage. Mrs. King first made de- termined effort to bring material out of the office of the burning building and several onlookers quickly sprang to her assistance.
 Although firemen feared ex- tensive damage from explosions of stored motor oil and grease, there was only one minor explo- sion during yesterdays fire.
 Members of the Valley Volun- teer Fire Association worked for two hours, hosing the smoking walls and roof with water, before they were sure their battle was won.
