Allied Forces Rip Gaping Holes in Red Line
MERCY FLIGHT TO SKAGWAY MADE BY MeCK0RD AIR FORCE

Residents of Skagway credited the air force with another assist Thursday when twin-engine car go airplane from McChord ail force base near Tacoma, Wash. rushed a lifesaving drug HOO mile, from Seattle to the Alaskan town
 The drug, an anti-toXin for bot ulism, was ordered by Dr. Alan Bledsoe for MT. and Mrs. George Villesvik, who suffered food pois- oning Wednesday night.
 Miss Bledsoe, Skagways only doctor, sent tracers over most Of Alaska in search of the precious drug which could prvent the poi soning's being fatal if it devel- oped into botulism. Failing in her search. she telegraphed Seattle pharmaceutical house Thursday morning. She explained that if the drug did not arrive by Thursday night it might be too late, for the poison is usually fatal within 24 hours.
 While two bottles of the anti toxin were being hurried to Me Chord air force base, the l7G5th air transport wing readied crew and airplane.
 The mercy mission was a race against time. Skagway's airport has no night landing facilities. Captain Myron E. Kelly, pilot of the airplane, landed, or slid, the craft on the icy runway just at dusk. A few more minutes would have been too late
 A score of Skagway's grateful citizens rushed to the airplane to echo the towns gratitude. Captain Kelly's reply was that it was just routine flight, but he and mem hers of his crew were proud to have been of help.

UNIT WINS
 TEST VOTE
 IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, March g. - R- Universal military training today won 68 to 20, a test vote, in the senate.
 Turned down by the roll call count was an effort to strip the proposed long-term program from the pending draft-manpower bill.
 The provisions aim for an even- tual system under which every youngster, on reaching IS, would have at least six months of mili- tary training.
 It is part of measure to expand and extend the existing Selective Service Act, due to expire July 9.
 With this major issue out of the way, leaders expected to beat down a number of other pending amend ments and then finally complete passage of the broad Universal Military Training and Service Act.
 Senators Edwin C. Johnson D- Colo.) and Bricker (R-Ohio) spon- sored the amendment to knock out the universal military training fea- lures.
 They argued that it would start the United States down the road to militarism which had caused the downfall of Germany and many European nations.
 Earlier the senate refused to knock out a plan for draft defer ments of 75,000 young men each year to study to be doctors. scien- tists and technicians. It was beaten 68 to 21.

PROPERTY TAX REPEAL BILL IS STILL AL I'VE

A motion to indefinitely postpone the bill to repeal the Alaska Prop erty Tax Act was defeated in the House this morning by vote of 8-16.
 Voting to kill the bill by indefinite postponement were the seven Third Division members of the House and Rep. Metcalfe of Juneau.
 A motion to advance the bill to final passage by a suspension of the rules failed on 14-10 vote. two short of the necessary twothirds.
 The bill to reorganize the Terri tory's financial control structure was reported out of the Ways and Means Committee this morning with Do Pass" recommendation by all members except Rep. Barnes, who put "a without recommendation" tag on it.
 An amendment to make the Con- missioner of Taxation also the ex- officio Commissioner of Corpora tions instead of placing those duties in the office of the Secretary of Alaska was defeated by vote of 8-16.
 Rep. Miscovich offered an amend ment to provide that the reorganiza- tion provided by the bill would not become effective until approval by referendum vote of the electors was also defeated, but not until it had stirred up 8 lengthy debate.
 Too Complicated
 Rep. Andrew Hope expressed the { view that the bill is too involved to be submitted to the voters as a whole and that the entire issue would be confused by referendum. Several other members of the House agreed with him.
 Speaker Egan took the floor dur ing the debate to tell the House: T feel that the only question that could be put on the ballot would be Should there be a reorganlza- tion?' and I think that question has already been answered by the vot- CTS"
 We would be shirking our jobs by submitting this bill to a refer endum," Rep. Kay asserted. The people have expressed their desire for a reorganization = 1t IS up to us as their representatives to pro- vide the machinery for it." Good Outweighs Bad
 q have been apprehensive about this bill since it first came to us, y said Rep. Franklin. After study ing it, however, I believe that the good points outweigh the bad ones and I think we stand to gain by 1t inthe long run if it is well admin 1 istered, which is the main thing with any law"
 'No matter what bills we put through or how long we work on them, they're bound to have some bugs in them" asserted Rep. Carl son. AS for this bill, I'm willing to take chance on it.
 'The people of Alaska should have chance to study and vote on matter so vital to all of us" said Rep. Barnes. ''This bill was put to- gether in a very short time and the

BELGRADE. = If Russia follows the doctrine of the famous Ger man war strategist. Count Karl von Clausewitz, as it has in the past, it would seem likely that Moscow would order an attack on Jugo- slavia some time this spring, for Clausewitz taught that the time to make war is when you are strong est and your potential enemy is weakest. The moment your enemy begins gaining strength, according to the war theory followed by the Germans and Russians for the last hundred years, then it's time to strike.
 A careful, cold -blooded diagnosis of Russian strategy in the past shows rather definitely that they expected the United States to fall apart at the seams economically after V-J Day in 1946. The depres-

 BALLOT, DOG
 TAGS 0kAYED

A school bond issue proposition finally won Senate approval today and unanimously
 The vote was Is to for the Enge- breth bill for a referendum on the next Alaska general election ballot. The question on the ballot would be whether voters desire the Terri tory to issue up to $12,5000,000 for construction and repair of school buildings. Congressional approval would be required before bonds could be issued.
 The bill now goes to the House which already has approved pro- posal by Jack Conright to ask Con- gress for the right for the Terri tory to issue up to S9,aa0,000 in bonds for schools
 The Senate twice before rejected direct proposals for asking Congress to allow bonding. Sen. John Butro- vich (R-Fairbanksl was absent or today's vote.
 Now to the Dogs
 After the school bond vote the Senate went to the dogs = literally. The dogs won one decision and lost another
 The senators turned down by an 8-7 vote bill by Sen. Walter Hunt ley D-Palmer) which proposed branding as "a vicioEe log" under the law any animal winch "evincee a dieposit:on which renders it like ly that it will bite or attack human being"
 The senators decided the look in a dogs eye is bit difficult to pin down by statute.
 Then the Senate approved, l3 to 2, another Euntley bill for lieens- ing roaming dogs. which have be- come a major problem in some cities. Senate President Engebreth of Anchorage said the amount of mail received from his division on the dog nuisance, or menace, has been exceeded only by letters on school teachers salary increases. He said the trend has been 50 to l for a crack down on the rowing dogs.
 Bill Modified
 The bill, which now goes to the House, was modified sharply from Huntley's original stringent version. It would set the licenses for dogs which are not licensed by munich pality or kept on a leash or in a dog team at S5 year for male and $10 for a female. The original proposal was $25 for a female.
 The bill was modified to provide impounding of unlicensed animals for five days, instead of three, be- fore they could be executed. For retrieving them from the pound within that period, the penalty was reduced to S5 from the original pro posal of $50.
 Elton Engstrom proposed the drop in the penalty from committee recommendation of $15 to the S5 Sen. Joe Coble suggested S15 would be too steep for kids dog that hap pened to run out of the house or yard and get picked up.

OF TIDELANDS, SOUND
Editorial from DENVER POST

Editorial from DENVER POST
Oil interests and extreme champ
ions of States rights are beating the
drums again for legislation to sur
render Federal ownership of lands
and minerals under the off-shore
seas to the coastal states.
This may prove to be the big drive
which has been in the making ever
since the United States Supreme
Court in June 1947 held that the
tidelands belong to the entire Ma
ton, not merely to the states which
border them.
Many oil companies are anxious to
have the tidelands turned over to
the states. They would rather lease
from the states than from the Fed
eral Government, which usually i'm
poses more restrictions on the ac-
tivities of it's lessees than do the state
agencies entrusted with such matters.

COMPANY DELIBERATELY
TAMPERED WITH EQUIPMENT
USED IN TESTING CABLE

The next episode to show to what
extent the ACM would go to satisfy
its greed for more and larger divi-
dends happened in Indiana and
Rhode Island. These outfits manu-
featuring copper wire, fitted up a
gadget that would lead the govern
ment inspectors to believe the wire
they were selling the armed forces
was fully up to specifications, but
one Inspector discovered this device.
Four officials of the company were
sent to prison for varying terms and
the company paid very stiff fine of
approximately ST. 100000, and later
on had to make restitution to the
government of over S6,000,O0O.

acy. 1t corrupted the other de-
PENDANTS and it did not hesitate
to stoop to corrupt even women
employees and other laborers."
No one will ever know how many
lives were lost through the use of
this defective copper wire, but it
does show the ACM Co., as being so
anxious for profits that it would

dividends. Such shining example

DEMAND OUTSKIRTS EXPANSION

Demand for electricity has far out
stripped its expansion. New defense
plants and atomic installations will
require billions of kilowatt hours that
are not in sight.
The Atomic Energy Commission
alone has informed Wilson that its
greatly accelerated program will need
more "juice" than all the aluminium
plants consumed during World War
II. Meanwhile, the power require
ment of the tremendously expanded
aluminium program, for airplane con-
struction, is double original esti-
mates. And on top of all that, other
key defense projects are lombard
ing Wilson with pleas for more
power.
What is particularly disturbing this
ominous situation is that Wilson is
letting the nation walk right into
the power shortage without Congress
or the public knowing anything about
it.
The lid has been clamped tight
on the reports that tell the whole
story. In some cases, not even Of
ficials of the Defense Power Ad-
in the Interior Depart
ment have seen all the figures. The
private utilities, which made some of
the surveys, have taken their find
ings direct to Wilson, thus bypass

BACK TAXES OWED BY ACM'S

Another charge against the COM
pany is the fact that it owes the city
of Butte and School District No. l
over 100000 and though they
have been notified of this fact many
times, they have never made any eff
fort to pay any part of it.
The decision covering this tax
was made by our state supreme
court in 1908, and these taxes are
due from that day to this.
They have a tax delinquency COM
mittee that advises the county COM

delinquent taxes owed Silver Bow

fact that the ACM is the greatest of
all delinquents. This committee is

HANGING OF LITTLE-SHAME
OF A GENERATION

The hanging of Frank Little, an
organizer, was one of the most brut-
al and atrocious crimes ever perpe-
trated in Montana or any place in
the west, and the stigma of this
crime will remain with the perpetra-
tors even after they are dead. The
rumor around the streets of Butte
after this crime was to the effect
that the company was responsible for
the hanging and many offered wag-
ers that they could name at least
three of the perpetrators of the act
all company stooges. NO ONE
WAS EVEN ARRESTED!
