ILLEGAL FOR
FAIRBANKS TO
HAVE UTILITY

FAIRBANKS, Feb. Is --Rl-Fed-
eral Judge Harry Pratt has ruled
that the city Of Fairbanks had no
legal right to establish a utilities
board in 1947, and rates set by this
board were invalid.
He ruled there is no territorial
law permitting Alaskan cities to
appoint utility boards. Such law
was passed in 1885 and repealed in
1889.
In what may be far-reaching
decision in the Territory, the judge
ruled that the city council must fix
utility rates. and bondholders
would have to approve any dele
CATION of power by the city to
utilities board.
The judge made his decision IN
the case of Robert Claus, who re-
fused to pay rates set for unmeter-
ed steam here and brought suit IN
test case. The judge ruled Claus
must pay only reasonable cost for
steam, but his decision did not touch
on what reasonable cost might be.

Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON

Copyright, 1851, cy Bell Syndicate Inc,
W WASHINGTON-Probably the
only American who has ever met
Stains mother is Carleton Smith,
director of the National Art Foun-
dalton, who while travelling near
Tiflis in 1895 was taken to village
where Stains mother lived.
Her home was a mud hut dug
out of the side of a hill, and she
proved to be a wrinkled, kindly
old lady. Telling Smith how she
had raised her son to be priest,
the old lady added:
Il hear he's now running all CT
Russia, but I don't believe it,"
A year later, Smith was in
Moscow at the Bolshoi theatre
when Stain was also present, and
had an interview with the Russian
Dictator Among other things he
told him about the visit to his
mother.
Stain maintained an icy silence
He did not seem interested in his
mother.

BEDoUBLED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 In
Secretary of State Acheson said to-
day "the comat forces of our Euro
pean Allies may be expected to dou-
BILE in the next year"
He gave no figures in prepared
testimony calling upon the Senate
Foreign Relations and Armed Serv-
ices Committees to support the Tru-
man administrations plan to send
100000 additional United States
troops to Europe to bolster defenses
against Communist aggression.
Acheson said the United States
must use the time it has = by vir-
tue of it's lead over Russia in air
power and atomic weapons - to
build up with its Allies balanced
collective forces" needed to deter
aggression.
He added that the value of our
lead" in atomic weapons will de-
cline but he said balanced land, sea
and air forces in Western Europe
will help offset the loss of that adj
vantage.
Acheson said Americas Allies "are
now taking steps which bring US
measurably closer to realization of
our ultimate goal" of an adequate
defense force.
Secretary of Defense George
Marshall told the committees yes
terday of the plan to send to Europe
four more American divisions plus
supporting troops to reinforce the
two already in Germany.
Marsnall's disclosure Of the def
mite figures took much of the steam
out of the opposition in the troops
to-Europe controversy. The size OF
the forces contemplated was smaller
than had been anticipated.

SYSTEM
BLOCKED
Labor Members Of Wage
Sterilization Board Stage
Their Own WaIkout

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 -tR-
Uncertainty clouded the whole gov
eminent effort to control prices ano
wages after labor members Of the
wage Sterilization board walked out
today in protest over recommend
alton for a 10 per cent ceiling on
wage increases.
BY a six to three vote. the board
came forth with long-awaited
formula which would limit wage in
creases to 10 per cent between Jan.
Is, 1850 and next July l. Thus if
workers had already had their pay
hiked 8 per cent, they would be
held to a 2 per cent boost until
July l.
The three public and three in
dustry members, who approved this
formula, promised to review the
entire wage picture before July /
and revise it if necessary to keep
wages in line with the mounting
cost of living.
The labor members, who had been
holding out for IL per cent ceiling,
promptly withdrew from the board
in protest. In effect, they had been
instructed to do so under the cir
cumstances by the United Labor
Policy Committee, a group repre-
senting nearly all the 100000 UNI
ion members in the nation.
Emil Rieve, one of the members,
is president of the CLIO United Tex
tile Workers.
The other two labor members are
Elmer E. Walker, president OF the
Machinists Union, recently reaffll-
lated with the AFL. and President
H G. Bates of the AFL Bricklayers.

STARTS
Picket Lines Are Formed in
First Wooden Walk
outin II Years

BOSTON. Feb. 16 M Picket
lines began forming before day
break today as an estimated 10000
CLIO Textile Workers struck against
100 wool and worsted mills in the
first industry wide walkout in the
Textile Unions 11-year history.
Some TOO men and women formed
a nickel line at $50 am. outside
two American Wooden Company
plants = the Wood and Aver mills
at Lawrence, Mass.
Other pickets marched around
three mills in the Passiac, N. J.
area, where 1000 workers are af-
fected, beginning at 6 am.
The Wood mill was described as
the largest worsted goods plant in
the world.
The strike, which directly in
wolves half the nations wool and
worsted workers, began at 1901 a
m. after negotiations broke down
between the union and the Ameri-
can Wooden Company. The COM
pany generally sets the industry
wage pattern.
The union demands a 15-cent-
an-hour increase. 1t says the aver
age industry wage now is SLAP an
hour with the minimum SLIT.
Union President Emil Rieve saio
the American Wooden refused to
make a reasonable offer"
He quoted company officials as
saying that price ceilings must be
lifted before wages could be raised
Rieve, who is also labor member
of the National Wage Sterilization
Board, said there was nothing in the
wage freeze which prevented an en-
ployer from negotiating wage in
crease with union.

RED DRIVE
IS(HECKED,
one FRONT
Commies Are Hurting New
Forces Into Battle De-
spite Severe Losses
BY Associated Press

Allied bayonets slashed back Red
attempts to outflank both ends of
the Central Korean warfront today.
On the left flank. southeast of
Seoul. American infantrymen al
most out of ammunition barred
bayonets and charged. They chased
the fleeing Chinese survivors half
a mile.
The Doughboys killed some Sc
Reds. Artillery already had killed
about 100 of a dug-in force of 300.
On the right flank of the rela-
lively quiet Control Front, South
Korean infantrymen used bayonets
and grenades to throw back Chinese
troops north of Chechon. But COM
munist pressure in that mountain
Gus sector continued.
On the Western Front south of
Seoul. an American tank-infantry
patrol ran into more than 500 Chi
nese just south of the Han River.
The Reds we're dug in but lost at
least 100 men.
Red Drive Checked
Action all along the curving bat
tlefront was relatively small in COM
parison with fighting in the past
five days, in which Communist
drive on the Central Front was
checked.
The Eighth Army counted Red
casualties at 4935 for Thursday. OF
which 2,275 were on the Central
Front between Chipyong and Won
ju. This brought to more than 100.-
900 the Red losses since the Allied
limited offensive jumped off Jan
uary 25.
Reds Shift Strength
Fridays action on the right flank
of the Central Front indicated the
Chinese may have shifted much OF
their strength to the area north
and northwest of Chechon.
Despite the severe losses dealt the
Reds in their offensive, the North
Korean radio boosted that the Com
munists had shattered elements Of
the u S. Second and Seventh di-
visions and wiped out the South
Korean 28th division.
THE enemy's line has crumbled,'
said a broadcast from Pyongyang,
North Korean Red capital. Our
forces presently are pursuing and
continuing to advance"
38th Parallel Issue
President Truman said in Wash
ington yesterday that Allied troops
in Korea still have UN authority
to cross the 38th Parallel dividing
North and South Korea. He told his
news conference any future cross
ing was a matter Of military STRAIT
egy and was in the hands OF Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. Headquarters
officials in Tokyo hailed the state
ment as clarifying the muddy
waters" concerning the issue.

STATEHOOD
Once MORE
CONSIDERED
New Memorial Asks Bill Be
Reported Wifhut
Further Hearings
BY BOB DE ARMOND

Alaska statehood again became
an issue before the House of Repre-
sentatives this forenoon with the
introduction of House Memorial No.
6, urging that S. so be reported to
the U. S. Senate without further
hearings.
The memorial, introduced immed
lately after a Democratic caucus
called by Rep McCutcheon, was
signed by nine of the IA members
of that party in the House = Reps.
Metcalfe, Gundersen, Carlson, Kay,
Conright, Pollard, Scavenius, Egan
and McCutcheon.
Democrats not sponsoring the
memorial were Hope of the First
Division, Franklin of the Fourth
and Madsen, Degnan and Wells of
the Second.
Further hearings on Alaska
statehood would serve no purpose
other than that of delay" the me-
mortal states.
The memorial claims that S. SO
is substantially" the same bill as
the ones on which hearings were
held in Washington last year, and
that opponents of the statehood bill
have been fully and frequently
heard
To Second Reading
The memorial was moved into
second reading at once on a mo-
ton by Rep McCutcheon. The mo-
ton carried 1876 despite Rep Step
ovich's objection that the measure
should go to the Special Committee
on Statehood for review.
Failure to support this memorial
in effect asks that additional hear
ings be held" McCutcheon said.
1--WE have had many, many hear
ings on the statehood bills and the
people have voted overwhelmingly
in favor of statehood"
The statehood memorial was one
of several introduced this morning.
Rep. Frank Johnson of Kake seeks

Modern MARRIAGE

Usually, too. there is some girl
who has set her mind on marrying
one OF these fellows. She encour-
ages him year after year-in vain.
What happens when an irresisti-
bic blond meets an immovable
bachelor? Nothing. That's the
trouble!
Locate some man, preferably q
little Older than yourself, who has
a good disposition, was brought
up in q happy home and gets
along well with his own family
but is not abnormally dependent
on them or tied to them. He
should be cooperative. popular in
the community and active in a
variety of organizations. II he is
fairly conservative in his outlook
on life. is thrifty and has good
morals, you have a good pros
Ipect." 1t makes no difference
whether he is tall or short, bald
|or bearded-he will be a good hus-
band.
Then you'll have to convince
him, that you will be q good wife
for him.
Remember. Greta, that love is
not something mysterious. Per-
sons who believe that have been
educated by the movies and ro-
mantle novels. not by life. Love
lis something which grows natur-
ally and can be encouraged and
protected whenever the conditions
are favorable. You can make those
conditions just as favorable as you
like.

By Dr. Paul Popenoe

At the age Of 20, Greta. you're
old enough to stop thinking tina,
somewhere In the world there IA
Just one man who is your predes-
tined soul mate. There Is no such
man. At your age it is a particu-
larly dangerous superstition to
hold.
The truth is that unless your
personality is badly warped In
some way there are hundreds OF
men with whom you might live
In successful marriage. After you
were married to one Of these men,
you would properly tell yourself,
II couldn't possibly have been as
happy with any other man as ]
am with him." But you must not
say that about any man until
after you have been married to
him!
The important thing right now
and you have no time to waste
is to get into circulation; 60 where
men are and pick out one with
whom you could live happily.
Keep away from confirmed BACH
elors. In every community there
are a few bachelors, perhaps La
their 40s, who are popularity sup
posed to be good matrimonial
prospects. They probably have
good manners, good jobs and
many admirable qualities. But
they are not going to marry any
one. They are so concerned with
themselves that they don't need
love from any one.
