OF CANADIAN WllDS
AT CAPITOL TONIGHT

Out of the memorable novel
Benedict and Nancy Freedman's
Mrs. Mike" comes a memorable
motion picture Bearing the same
title, the picture opens tonight at
the Capitol Theatre with Dick Pow
ell playing the stalwart Sergeant
Mike Flanagan, and Evelyn Reyes
portraying the part of Mrs. Mike.
United Artists is releasing the pic
ture, which was directed by Louis
King with a sensitive and knowing
touch which will doubtless please
the more than five million readers
of the book.
Alfred Lewis Levitt and Dewitt
Bodeen wrote the screen script of
Mrs Mike" which is based on the
real life adventures of Sergeant
Mike of the Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police, around 1907. When
Sergeant Mike meets Kathy ORAL
lon from Boston, he warns her that
life in the vast Canadian wilderness
is tough for woman of gentle birth
and breeding. But 'Cathy is too
much in love with him to realize
the depth and sincerity of his argu-
ments. and so they get married and
trek north by dogsled to Hendricks
Hope, their first home.
The film, which will not let avid
readers of the book down at any
point, portrays with taste and fidel-
ity the exciting, colorful adventures
of this. couple.
Filmed for the greater part in
the Canadian wilds, the snow scenes
are startling in their beauty AS
for the story. it is not all drama.
There are plenty of humorous in
terludes that are heartwarming in
their simplicity Besides its CO.
stars, who turn in superb perform
ances, the large cast includes j. IA.
Kerrigan and John MILAN.

ADJUSTED TARIFF
SCHEDULE OF ACS
IN EFFECT JAN. 1

Adjusted telegraph message tar
ifs have been announced by the
Alaska Communication System to
become effective as of January l.
1851.
1.-THE primary aim of the Alaska
Communication System is to pro-
vide commercial communications
service at the lowest cost possible
to Alaskan customers states Col.
Fred P. Andrews, Commanding Of
ficer of the system in Seattle.
However, to provide service to
the greatest number of people pos
sible, it has been necessary to con-
meet to and through commercially
owned facilities and to compensate
operators of these facilities for SER
vice rendered.
LAS a consequence thereof, GER
tain classifications of messages and
routings have failed to produce SUI
ficient revenue to meet fixed costs.
Adjusted tariff schedules were
engineered to increase present low
rates for deferred message classifi-
cation where total tolls do not meet
fixed payouts and at the same time
to decrease rates for full rate mes
sage classifications resulting in a
relatively unchanged overall cost
to the public.
These adjustments will alleviate
at this time the necessity for a gen
eral rate increase on all services to
meet increased layouts.
After January /, Alaskans will
find basically the following changes
in message rates:
"A decrease in extra word rates
for day messages and dayletters.
"An increase in initial nightletter
rates with a decrease in rates for
extra words above the initial min
! imum.
Decreases in rates for messages
filed to other line stations in Alaska
and between Alaska Communication
System points less than 100 miles
distance.
Addition of night press rate and
elimination of the existing COM
bination press rates"

Red Gross WORKING
On Civil Defense
Program Expansion

Under the impact of war in Kor-
ca and the mushrooming civil de-
Tense at home, the American Red
Cross today is embarked on what
may be the greatest work in its
69-year-old history.
Three months after the outbreak
of the Korean fighting, the Red
Cross already had three major
programs for civilian defense well
under way And plans call for
further fast expansion. Acting on
special requests from the Depart
ment of Defense and the National
Security Resources Board, the Red
Cross is giving top priority to:
l. Taking a leading part in train
ing 100000 persons in first aid,
including treatment of atom bomb
attack injuries.
2. Training 100000 nurses aides
and hundreds of thousands of
housewives in home nursing to help
meet the critical shortage of pro-
fessional nurses which would prob
ably occur in event of a national
emergency.
g. Developing plans to assist civil
defense authorities in the provision
of food, clothing and shelter dur
ing an emergency period.
On August 80. w. Stuart Syming-
ton, chairman of the National Sec
urity Resources Board, wrote to
Gen. George c. Marshall. Red Cross
president. asking the Red Cross to
accept the responsibility of CO.
originating a nationwide civil de-
Tense blood program for recruit
ment of donors and collecting, stor-
ing, processing and preparing for
shipment of blood and blood de-
rivatives." Seven days later Gen.
Marshall, on behalf of the Red
Cross, accepted the task.
The method of financing this
gigantic program, the amount OF
blood to be collected monthly for
civil defense needs, and the ulti-
mate civil defense stockpile re-
quirements are now being thrashed
out by Red Cross and NSRB offic-
ials in Washington, D. C.
Hurry-up Training
The hurry-up training millions of
Americans in first aid is one of the
most staggering jobs faced by the
Red Cross in its current expansion
to meet civil defense and military
needs.
At government request the Red
Cross has undertaken the task of
providing the nation with trained
first aid force of 20.0O0,O0O. That's
almost one out of every seven
people in the country.
Meantime, the Red Cross is push
ing expansion of its first aid pro-
grams as fast as possible. Nearly
completed is a supplement to the
organizations first aid training
textbook. The additional material
deals with treatment of atomic
bomb injuries and is expected to
be issued in the near future.
All Red Cross chapters have been
notified to step up first aid trainee

Defense Against Atom Bombs

"TFNHE ONLY DEFENSE against atomic bomb
ing" declared DR.. A. B. Garrett, Ohio
State University Chemist to group of defense
officials in Toledo the other day, "is long
range program to raise the social, political,
economic and religious levels of the peoples OF
the world"
Dr. Garrett might have put it more simply,
thus: "The only defense against atomic bomb
ing is PEACE wherein no nation will ever re-
sort to the use of atomic bombs"
For once an atomic bomb is exploded over
any target area be it Russian or American,
CHASTITY and horrible destruction on a mass
scale is inevitable.
With the Korean situation taking its new
turn, the possibility of World War III is fright
fully imminent. Certainly the belicose state
ments coming from high officials of the Soviet
dominated nations; coupled with the equally
belligerent statements of some people in the
West bodes horrible possibilities for the peo-
plies of the earth.
We hope and pray that somehow, someway
reason and humane logic between the respon-
sible leaders of the world may yet avert what
might easily turn out to be the twilight not
the death, of Modern Civilization as under
stand it.

Chorqes of "Communism" Stupid

NOR LONG, long time now, in fact ever
Il since the inception of the first New Deal
administration of President Roosevelt Repub-
licans have been hurling the charge of Com
nunism" at official Washington. According to
these political charlatans rank opportunists
of the lowest type-the government is LOADED
with reds" and at first Roosevelt and now Tru-
man. is currying favor from Moscow.
Of course, we have no secret pipeline into
any government agency in Washington. We
have no access to the files of the F. B. l., the
various security boards" or what have you. 1t
may even be possible that some 'pinks" on
the payroll of Uncle Sam. In this connection,
of course, we must remember that the shades
and hues of colors change particularly in Wash
ington. AS everyone knows, what used to be
respectable pink" even very, very pale
pink - is now considered flaming red
What we do know however, is the incon-
trovertible fact that under these "red infested"
governments the very people who below the
loudest are the one who apparently get along
the best We mean the Big Business Repub-
licans; the people whose political chattels yell
the loudest about "reds in the government"
Look at the profit figures of these people and
their corporations. In 1929 - remember the
golden year of the roaring twenties net cor
porate profits amounted to about So 900 mil
lion. In 1916, right after World War ii, net
earnings of corporations rose to $1O,5O0 mil
lion. But today, 1850, the estimated net earn
ings of these same corporations will skyrocket
to the fantastic figure of $23, 500 million.
If this is communism, Karl Marx must be
spinning in his grave like Nanny Yokum does
when she prepares to conjure up one of her
strange visions. Actually those who accuse the
Truman Administration of being "red infested"
are either political morOns or mbecilic hypo-
critics.

Politically speaking, there's nothing espe-
cially bad in newspaper publisher preterrng
one side of a political philosophy to another,
or preferring one candidate to another. And,
in the nature of things, it is to be expected that
his preferences will be given lot of space in
his newspapers
But the Job that was done on Congressman
Tom Burke in Toledo by Paul Block Juniors
newspaper monopoly goes lot farther than
that
Tom Burke family man with six children
and some grandchildren, too, with fine per-
sonal life and solid trade union record, was
sent to Congress in 1948 by the voters
He was there two years.
During those two years, the UAW-ClO
members in Toledo enjoyed about the two best
best years, economically, that they've ever
had.
Tom Burke worked hard for the good things
people needed and wanted - for the social
security and progressive legislation when
would spread this country's prosperity among
the working people who created 1T with theT
hands
There was nothing VIII tever in Tom
Burke's recor d that any decent newspaper
never did attack Burkes record:
In the blizzard of words printed by the
Block monopoly, there never word OF
criticism of Burkes RECORD.
Instead, the Block monopoly press decided
to send to Congress who can't possibly
do the job Burke did. Frazier Reams, who
turned on his own Democratic P arty and
abused it, cannot sit on any committee IN the
House, where legislation is always initiated.
MT ,l,0vof fI0
regular party members plan it and introduce 1t.
WHY did the Block monopoly newspapers
do this?
They attacked land they beat Tom Burke
because he was union man, a CIO man,
UAW-CIO man. a Local IL man, and man
who had the political courage not to deny his
personal friendship with me.
Under ordinary conditions it would not be
political handicap for anyone to admit to
friendship with me. ! am not, SO far as know,
monster
But before the Block monopoly press had
finished its campaign, it apparently convinced
tens of thousands of people that am such
horrible monster that anyone who admits ne
knows me carries political liability.
The Blade and the Times 'did job on
Tom Burke to get at me; and it will continue
to "do Job" on me in order to get at trade
unionism in Toledo
Even this wouldn't be too bad if the people
of Toledo had a chance to learn the fact once
in a while. If there were another newspaper,
the hatred and the venom Paul Block Junior
pours out daily in his newspapers would be
laughable. s,
But between the people and the facts there
is sort of screen an Iron Curtain -
monopoly newspaper combination that sees to
it the people of Toledo read only what the
publisher wants them to read
The lesson we have learned is that this
monopoly is effective that it is possible,
by the kind of campaign Block put on, to re-
move a very good man from office and sub
sttute Frazier Reams.
Toledo desperately needs another daily
newspaper.

Terror Against
Jews Renewed in
Afghoniston

TEL AVN, (JTA) = Reports
reaching here from Afghanistan
indicate that a new wave of ter
ror has been unleashed against
the 4,500 Jews living in that Mos
lem country.
The reports state that Jews liv-
ing in Kheirat, Kandahar, Gaia
zani and other towns have been
driven into the walled Kabul
Ghetto. In addition, Jews have
been forbidden freedom of travel
and have been ordered not to
trade in a special list of commo-
dities. Instead of military service,
the Jews must pay special war
tax.
The reports indicate that Afg-
han Jewry is eager to migrate to
Israel, but the Mos1em govern
ment forbids it. The entire COM
munity is in a state of health that
has been described as "disas-
trous."
