PLACER TIN TO BE MINED AT TIN CITY
 BY NEVADA FIRM

The once romantic cry of "GoldP has given way to nore cautious statements about easr metals, strategic ores" and ', possible de- velopments.'
 One of the gss.ctals now in de- mand is tin.
 Deposits in the Seward Penin- sula are now coming in for atten- tion and the zenda Gold Mining Company of Las Vegas. Nevada, is preparing to engage in placer tin production in the Cape Prince Of Wales region. Tin City will be the focal point for the proposed oper- ations, according to Norman Stines general manager of zenda, who passed through Juneau recently af- ter obtaining options anc leases on the properties in which the com- pany is interested.
 Tin deposits have been proved by the work of the U. s. Bureau of Mines in the cassiterite- bearing yravels of Cape, First Chance, and other Creeks in the Tin City area.
 A dredge will be brought from a Canadian subsidiary of zenda and other equipment is on Nome Creek, between Fairbanks and Circle, just off the Steese Highway. The latter plant will be dismantled shipped to the Yukon River where it will be loaded on barges, taken down the River and across the Bering Sea to Tin City, Stine said. This operation will get under way as soon as river navigation opens. in order that operations may begin at the start of the 1852 season.
 Stines is not only well known in Alaska in mining circles, but in many parts of the world from Si- beria to South America. He started the large scale gold dredging op- eration at Nome and a similar but larger operation at Fairbanks. both of which are units of the United States Smelling, Refining, and Mi ming Co. Both operations have been producing placer gold since 1923, and with the exception of the war years, have produced from 60 to 75 per cent of the total placer gold production in Alaska.
 Stines lives in Los Gatos, Calf.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
NOT INVOLVED

DIR. Edward A. Rumely, executive
secretary Of the Committee for Constitu-
tional Government, has been convicted on
contempt-of-C Congress charges for refusing
to tell the House Lobby Committee the
names of persons who contributed large
sums for the distribution of books and
literature published by his organization.
The defense was based around the
allegation that DIR. Rumely was protected
by the freedom-of -the-press guarantee in
the Bill of Rights. He commended, in con-
nection with the charges, that Congress
had no right to the information and that
to-compel him to reveal the names of the
financial angels behind his activity would
violate the freedom of the press.
. This contention is absurd Newspapers
throughout the nation are required to
publish the names of their owners. So far
as we know, no responsible newspaper
pretends that this interferes with its free
dom to print the news or to express its
editorial opinion.
The truth is that newspapers, when
their owners are unknown, can be used
for improper purposes without the knowl-
edge of those who read them. The high
sounding title of DR.. Rumely's organiza-
ton gives some prestige to its distribution
of various books and pamphlets upon
public affairs.
=. To require him to give the names of
persons who contributed large sums for
their publication and distribution would
not in any sense, infringe on the right of
his organization to publish and distribute
!. its propaganda.

BECAUSE OF OUR SECURITY
DEMANDS

In warning Congress that prolonging
delay in affirming the dispatch of Amer
lean troops to Europe would be, "in our
motal PERIL Senator Tom Connally, of
Texas, points out that the argument of
those who seek to restrict such military
assistance is based upon the assumption
that our efforts are for the purpose of
helping other people and not for helping
ourselves
Mr.. Connally points out that I'VE do
not seek to defend Western Europe for
moral reasons primarily but because
American security demands that Western
Europe remains free of Communist con-
troll
This is an idea that should be under
stood by every American in connection
with the discussion of our commitments to
Europe. Certainly, the United States
should not send men, ships or planes to
any nation unless the dispatch of the
fighting force is vital to the safety and Sc
curity of the United States.
Following the second World War, this
country has, by treaties properly ratified
endorsed the idea that the fate of the
United States is bound up, to a large ex-
tent, with the freedom and economic
strength of Western Europe. Under the
Marshall Plan, we have extended billions
of dollars to assist the free peoples to re-
cuperate from the devastation of the last
struggle. The main idea, as nearly as we
can Judge, was to make them able to de-
fend themselves and thus to prevent the
Russians from overrunning the continent
and acquiring vast productive resources
and economic strength.
In regard to the question of sending
troops to Europe, we will have to rely up
on the judgment of military experts as to
how this can be accomplished. Recently,
the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and
Air Force agreed that the defense of Eu-
rope is essential to the United States and
that it cannot be accomplished without
American ground forces. AS Secretary
Thomas K. Finletter, of the Air Force,
said When you defend land area, the
brunt of the battle has to be carried by
the ground forces"

TRIMS 'VOICE OF AMERICA"

The Voice of america hailed by
many as the effort of the United States to
counterfeit the big lie of the Communists
with the truth, broadcasts throughout Eu-
ropean regions ran into difficulties when
its appropriation came before the House
of Representatives.
The members of the lower House, by
an unrecovered voice vote, slashed the
S97,500,000 sought by the State Departs
ment to s9,5Ss $50. The sentiment seem
ed to be that the management Of the in
formation programs was poor and the
planning vague,
1t is very difficult for average persons
to pass on the value of such broadcasts.
It is possible, of course, that propaganda
OF great value gets through the iron cur
tain and that accurate news stories help
the cause of the free nations. It is again
possible that no such results are obtained

CHICAGO AND DETROIT AS
"POWDER KEGS"

Segregation is too often identified
with the South" says pamphlet recently
published bp the New York State Com
mittee on Discrimination in Housing,
which continues to assert that many
Northern cities enforce housing segrega-
ton more vigorously than the South does"
Admitting that virtually all cities Sc
gregate Negroes as to residence, the report
lists Chicago and Detroit as bad examples,
calling them powder kegs" of racial an
tagonism. In fact the author of the sur
vey declares that mo large city is doing
more than Chicago to keep the Negro in
segregated neighborhoods" and that ir.
Detroit ''the race question is an acknowl-
edged public issue" where a trifling spark
could touch off wholesale murder" In
fact, the report says that public housing
is solidly jim Grow in Detroit"
Looking to other areas, the authors
assert that effective segregation against
Negroes in almost all phases of daily life
is found in Springfield, Illinois, the home
town of Abraham Lincoln and Charlottes-
vile. Virginia, where Thomas jefferson
founded the University of Virginia.

CULTIVATION STILL
EFFECTIVE AGAINST WEEDS

WASHINGTON. - up. - A
warning to farmers who are fight
ing weeds with the new herbi-
cides of recent years was issued
aere by Warren c. Shaw, agro-
1omist with the U. S. Department
If Agriculture. Shaw comes out
in favor of cultivation as one of
he most effective ways to control
weeds.
mo available herbicide," says
Shaw, will kill all weeds and
cave crop plants completely un-
harmed If we do not cultivate to
control resistant weeds, it will be
,nly a short time until fields will
je WeeGier TT an ever-with weeds

Shaw adds that research re-
ults throughout the country
show that even when weeds are
controlled with chemicals, many
oils will give higher crop yields
when cultivated at least once.

ACCEPT WITH RESERVE

From Formosa, via the Chinese Ma
tionalists news agency, comes the charge
that at least three million persons in two
South China provinces have been execut-
cd by the Communists.
Moreover, the Nationalist agency
says that the purge is part of a Commun-
list plan to exterminate 200,000,000 of
China's 450,0O0,000 population at the in
stigation of Moscow. While there is no
doubt of repressive measures in large
areas of China, one finds it difficult to ac-
cept the totals that come from Nationalist
sources. 1t is somewhat difficult to believe
that the Communists have any idea of
killing nearly half the Chinese now living
in that country.
The news item gives us an excellent
reason for doubling some of the dispatch
es we read. Despite the admitted purge of
thousands, some of the British in Hong
kong doubt that the Reds are having Sc
rious internal difficulties. Certainly, if
four out of every nine living Chinese citi-
zens are marked for slaughter the Chi
nese Reds can expect to run into trouble
Consequently, until more evidence comes
along, it would be just as well to take the
news with a lot of caution.

Senator Hoey SaysAFL
Caused Dismissal OF
Jap Mission Member
BY the As.eeiesed Press

Senator Hoey. Democrat. of
North Carolina. says-and Sec
retary of Defense Marshall de-
nies-that the American Fedora
|tion of Labor dictated" the
removal Of a North Carolina
educator from a mission to
Japan.
Senator Hoey told the Senate
yesterday DR.. Ralph Brimley. Of
Winston-Salem. N. c. incurred
the AFL's disfavor because he
told a group Of teachers under
his supervision to use their own
education association grievance
committee rather than form q
union of teachers.
DR.. Brimley is superintendent
|of schools in Forsyth County. N. C..
The group Of educators Of which
he was a part are to teach de-
lmocracy to Japanese teachers.
Threats Are Cited.
Miss Selma Borchardt, Wash
|ington representative Of the
American Federation Of Teachers
(AFL). said DR.. Brimley threat
lened his teachers with dire con-
sequences if they joined the
American Federation Of Teach
lerS."
The AFL said its president. VIII
liam Green. requested DR.. Brim-
|ley's removal from the mission
because Of his "outspoken opposi-
ton" to the teachers union.
Senator Hoey called the remov-
al absolutely indefensible" and
said "the American Federation Of
Labor not only dictated what
should be done. but vetoed the
appointment Of DR.. Brimley after
1t had been made"
He added that the people Of his
State very strongly resent this. .
Letters Are Presented.
Senator Hoey presented the Sem
ate with an exchange Of letters
with Gen. Marshall and Army Sec
retary Frank Pace.
Gen. Marshall wrote that ''the
Army's only concern was that the
purpose Of the mission was not
Ito be jeopardized by inclusion Of
an individual involved In any con-
troversy."
Mr.. Pace said:
Whether he (Brimley) Is ac-
cused rightly or wrongly, the mere
fact Of his presence in Japan
could fairly lead to an embarrass-
ment Of the program in which
we have high aspirations"
Mr.. Pace told Senator Hoey DR..
Brimley is being replaced by Mrs.
Ethel Leafgreen, principal Of Eagle
Rock Elementary School, Los An
geles.
