written transcript in somewhat the
same vein. Officials here said
much of the questioning was de-.
signed to show that Mr.. Oats was
guilty of espionage simply be-
cause he sought to dig out infor-
nation which the Czech govern
ment wanted withheld.
After being in Jail for two
months, and denied outside coun-
sci, Mr.. Oats confessed" to
espionage and, more generally, to
activities hostile to the Czech
state.
However, on the second day Of
his trial, in voluntary statement
couched in the terms familiar in
such Communist court sessions, he
made clear in the view of officials
here that all he was actually con-
Tossing to was the normal, indus
trious activity Of an American
reporter.
Summarizing testimony he had
given the previous day. he told of
news contacts he had with the
American. British and other en-
basSieS in Prague. He said he
not only had a supply of news
coming in from these contacts.
and from Czech friends and en-
ployeS but also a certain demand
for such news coming from New
York in the form of orders" The
transcript of his testimony con-
tinueS:
"This was because my agency
works for newspapers in America
tsome words missing). expect to
get news and slanderous reports.
1t We'd with other Western news
agencies, with other Western press
agencies, so I was under constant
pressure from the New York and
London service for news Of this
kind.
81 got it coming from Czechs
and diplomats and I sent it out
to the agency. Sometimes news
that I got from one source / gave
to another. So I was a man in
the middle. 1 am sorry I al
lowed myself to be used in this
way"
State Department officials said
lit was remarkable that, being
completely in the power of the
Communists and compelled to go
through the form of admitting
Islander" and expressing regret
at his action. he had nevertheless
managed to make so clear a state
ment of what officials here view
as the real basis of his confess
sion"

to back the -Four Horsemen" be-
cause the police department would
take no responsibility for break
ing up the rackets.
They feared retaliation" he
added. He said this reluctance to
enforce the law extended to the
prosecutors Office and those OF
Iother county officials. The witness
asked that a prosecutor be i'm
ported to clean up the situation.
Farley Veto Implied.
Mr. Phillips said he was de-
prived of his honorary appoint
ment as harbor master of New
Jersey because of his law en-
forcement activities. He implied
his appointment was vetoed by
State Senator Frank S. Farley
Atlantic County treasurer and
chairman of the county's Repub-
lican committee.
Previous witnesses had described
Mr.. Farley as the political boss

In closing the Atlantic City in
vestigation, Chairman O'Connol
repeated an invitation to Mr.. Far
ley to testify If he wishes to an

him.
Two invitations previously were
issued, he said. Mr.. Farley was
quoted as replying that he pre-
ferred not to take the stand, but
would do so If called. He was in

Anyway, when Ricca, the Ca

out of the penitentiary and
wanted $4,000 for the purpose.
he said, of making improvements
on his farm, he turned to his old
friend Bennett, the auditor at the
track where Ricca. with other
Caponeites, had gambled. Bennett
obligingly let him have the $4,000
in two installments of $4,000

Bennett insisted he made this

' Tanana River Could Move Early This
 Year, 0Idtimer Says
By DON CLARK
Nenana Ice Classic Manager

Nendu6 Ice NAdSS1C M6ad9er
 The Panama River opposite Ne mana has never in the memory of most of the old timers frozen up as low as it did this last year.
 Al Linder, with fl years of watching the ice go out, agrees with other old timers, that the river being so low could move early providing a large flow of water came down, simply by raising it and jerking the anchor ice loose. There would go the tripod.
 Old Sol will have to do a lot of shining before that large flow of water comes down. Al Linder tempers this statement some what with description of an old timer named Calhoun who lived up river from town across from the mission.
 It seems that Calhoun kept a set of books comparable to those that might be kept by public accountant. In those books he kept a daily record of weather, snowfall, etc. He kept a, twice monthly check of the depth of ice as we'll as any information he felt might be pertinent to the annual spring break up.
 A group of old timers, some 20 or more, used to buy certain number of tickets and take them up to Calhoun who would form a pool and do the ticket marking, based entirely, of course, on his scientific set of books. After a few years had passed Calhoun finally figured they were ready for the kill.
 After much checking and cross checking of his records for many years past, Calhoun picked (the) day. He then wrote ticket on each odd minute of the day from mid morning until some time shortly after six pm. Al says the day Calhoun picked was all right. It was wonderful show of sci entific ledgerdmain, only one thing wrong with it. You guessed it, the ice went out on the even minute and the members of the pool nearly had heart failure.
 Linder still wonders where that wonderful set of records went after Calhoun passed on. About all that little story shows is that fellow standing on the deck ot halibut boat in Southeastern or trapper above Fort Yukon pull ing up his traps has as much

 The Wednesday departure will move the weekly Southwestern Alaska freighter two days away from the weekly passenger vessel and the bi-weekly Southeastern freighter departures, each of which is scheduled for Friday.

 Action on the proposal is ex- pected within a week, and if fa- vorable, as anticipated, the com mittee will bear the same name as it's companion committee on the Senate side.

WASHINGTON NEWSLETTER

The following points discussed in Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett's most recent Washington News Letter are of interest to all Alas kans.
 By MARY LEE COUNCIL Secretary 10 E. L. (Bob) Bartlett. Delegate in Congress from Alaska Proposed Statehood Amendment
 Senator Butler gave notice this week that he intends to propose an amendment to the Senate ver- sion of the Alaska statehood bill to prohibit the creation of native reservations in the Territory dur ing the time that the statehood steps are being processed.
 The proposed amendment re- calls the controversy which arose when similar language was placed in the statehood bill as it was re- ported last year to the Senate by it's Committee on Interior and h. sular Affairs. Delegate Bartlett's s bill as it was introduced and was passed by the House in March of last year did not contain any such provision, and both the Senate and House versions of the new statehood bills introduced in the 82nd Congress earlier this month do not carry the provision.
 Power Boats in Bristol Bay
 The previously announced pro- posed regulation for the 1851 com mercial fisheries in Alaska allow ing power boats not to exceed 32 feet in length in the Bristol Bay area was reaffirmed this week by Assistant Secretary of the Inte- rior Dale Doty.
 In making the announcement, the Assistant Secretary stated that arguments for and against the proposal have been thorough ly studied by the Fish and Wild life Service and that from the standpoint of conservation which is the basis of it's authority to regulate, the prohibition against power boats cannot be justified or supported"
 Russian Furs
 Legislation seeking to prohibit the importation of furs from Rus sia was introduced this week by Senator Young of North Dakota.
 The bill, similar to the legisla- tion introduced by the Senator in the 01st Congress upon which no action was taken, would amend the Tariff Act of 1880, as amend ed, by inserting the following new language:
 "Furs or skins (dressed or un- dressed), or manufactures of fur, raised, produced or manufactured in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, shall not be entitled to entry at any of the ports of the United States, and the im- portation thereof is hereby pro- -hibited. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and di- rected to prescribe such regula- tions as may be necessary for the enforcement of this section"
 Legislation
 Although only limited num- Der of bills introduced in Con- gress is printed, thus making it impossible for any member to dis tribute bills to any general mail ing list, Delegate Bartlett stated
