(HINE5E50LD DOWN RIVER,
 WEST THINKS
(By Associated Press)

There is a growing feeling ill western capitals today that secret protocols of the new Sino-Russian Treaty have sold the Chinese people down the Yangtze.
 In Washington, Secretary of State Acheson said that Chinese and Russian negotiators obviously were not in Moscow for nine weeks just to come up with the simple alliance announced yesterday.
 The full impact of secret codicils will become known only through time and events, Washington obser- vers said. Similar opinions were expressed in London and Paris.
 Highly placed diplomats believe that Russias overall strategy calls for three distinct spheres in the Far East.
 The first sphere, valuable to Rus sian security, are the border areas; Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia and Sinkiang. Russia is expected to maintain ironclad con- trol over these areas directly or through trusted agents.
 China proper is the second sphere. Here Russia will attempt to dom mate internal and foreign policies as much as possible but with a wary eye on China's poor financial structure and unstable political his tory.
 The third sphere is Southeast Asia where Communism is knocking at the door.
 A three-day meeting of top Am erican diplomats in the Orient broke up in Bangkok, Thailand (Siam in gloomy atmosphere To many it seemed that Moscow timed the announcement of the Sino-Russian pact to take the edge off the American conference.
 Some of the American diplomats were represented as believing even now it is too late for United States | aid to check the Communist ad- vance in this corner of the world

REHEARSAL, BUSINESS
 MEETING TONIGHT FOR
 NEW CHORAL GROUP

Old and new members of the Community Chorus, Choral Club of Juneau, Totem Tweeters, or what have you, will gather in the Meth odist Church tonight at 8:45 o'clock to adopt a constitution and rehearse the Easter choruses of "The Mes siah." The group has not decided on name as yet, but hopes to top that hurdle at the meeting tonight.
 William l.. Paul, Sr., author oi the constitution, likes "Choral Club of Juneau" so placed it in the constitution as Section I. Sev- eral of the singers have been seen wandering around town trying to rhyme "Gastineau" with a word that signifies melodious blending of voices. Tomorrow the results will be known of this struggle for name. Larry Parker, President. says that Elmer Friend, Empire News Editor, who has name for everything, doesn't care what they chose as. long as the type setters don't have to work overtime setting it for news stories.
 Tonight's rehearsal will be the first one to count toward the nec- essary two-thirds attendance for
 H. T111 ;iah" performance in April.
 Because of the amount of work facing the group in preparing for this event, Director Jane s.cMullin asks that everyone planning to par ticipate be present. Secular music to be used on a spring concert will also receive regular attention at these rehearsals.

DEMO CAUCUS SET TONIGHT TO CHOOSE
 51 yETkA DELEGATES

Fifty-one delegates from the three Juneau precincts will be nam- ed tonight to attend the Sitka Democratic First Division conyen- ton scheduled for March 2.
 The caucus will be held at pm. in the CIO Hall. Reason for the late hour was given that the Demos must await the ending of union meet scheduled earlier.
 Juneaus precinct committees will name 16 each for the first and second precinct and 19 from the third. One convention delegate is chosen for every 25 or fraction vot- es cast for the highest winner in the party at the last general elec- tion-in this case Bob Bartlett.
 Precinct leaders are Earle For sythe, chairman of the second pre- cinct; Phyllis Maynard, acting chairman of the first, and Eliza beth Peratrovich, acting chairman of the third.
 Salmon Creek precinct commit teemen met last night and chose three convention delegates. They are Lucille Mahoney, Peter Wood, and Tom George.
 Caucuses will be called through out the divisions until February "A. Salmon Creeks was the first party meeting so far as can be ascertained.
 James Nolan, divisional chairman for the Democrats, called the off, year divisional convention for Sit ka, the first such convention held in a number of years. Party policy calls for a territory wide conven7 tion in presidential wears, and di- visional meets in the off years, al- though these have not been held as rule.

With fair and warm weather,
fishing should be worth while this
week end. Things started up
with a bang Monday when the
temperature rose. The hickories
came back into the Patuxent and
took lures again in the Chain
Bridge area. White perch, which
had slowed their feeding, again
became lively. Trout in Mary

h atches of insects, and by
Wednesday the herring were back
in Rock Creek and present In
tremendous numbers in the Po-

News of the first channel bass

waiting for this news. The chan

weeks late this year. However,
five years ago the first fish was
not taken until April II.
