Briefing Officer Accuses Reds of Batting Military Trap in Korea Cease-Fire

e>~0
 WASHINGTON, (P)- The De- fense Department has scratched out the official label on briefing officers virtual accusation that the communists are setting a mili- tary trap in Korea with peace talks as bait, but it has not ques- toned even his interpretation of facts.
 The briefing officers comment about a Communist buildup stood as entirely official until the late evening.
 Then Clayton Fritchey, infor- nation director for the Defense Department, stepped in with just enough cold water to wash the official label off. Amid not-unex- pected talk that Congress was likely to take vivid interest in what had been pictured as trea- chery under the white flag, Frit- chey told reporters:
 The briefing officers one-the- record statement "should not be construed as a defense policy or a change of policy, or policy by the Army Chief of Staff"
 It was, Fritchey said, simply an officer giving advice" to news men and should be Judged only as a comment ."

LONDON, (P) - w. Averell Hartman flew in from Tehran Saturday and told newsmen he thought the Iranian oil crisis could be solved if Britain agrees to Trans proposals for reopening negotiations.
 Hartman, President Truman's international trouble shooter, has been in Tehran trying to bring Iran and Britain together to dis cuss the dispute over nationaliza- tion of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's properties.

Bristol Bay Salmon fPack 100000 Cases
 Short of Estimates

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, (P) - The 1851 Bristol Bay salmon pack is far below expectations, Maurice F. Rattray, deputy administrator of the U. S. Defense Fisheries Ad- ministration, reported Saturday.
 At the same time he said his Alaska visit convinced him that if any concentration plan is de- veloped for Alaska it should apply for the entire territory, and not just for certain areas.
 The DFA plan for limiting gear in Cook Inlet, Kodiak and Bristol Bay areas was set up last spring but never put into effect because of strong opposition from Alaska fishermen and territorial officials, he said.
 After an inspection of the Bris- tol Bay pack, Rattray said the areas total pack is not expected to exceed 100000 cases. Last year the bay packed approximately 6O0,0o0 cases and had expected 5OO,00O this season.
 His observations included fligh. over the 7O0-ship fleet of drift gillnetters that hit Cook In- let's big red salmon run last week. He said 'It's obvious there was an excess of gear fishing inlet waters this year"

Juneau Girl, Critically Burned, I'm Portland Seeking Treatment

0OOAAAAS AAO0S4AAOAAs
 PORTLAND, P)-Roberta Sue Jackson, II, critically burned in Alaska three years ago, arrived here Friday hoping Portland doc tors could heal her lingering burns.
 About 70 per cent of her body was burned in the Douglas, Alas ka, accident, and death was ex- pected at first.
 Blood .transfusions kept her alive. She underwent constant skin grating until a few months ago, when the gratis stopped taking hold, said Mrs. Helen Jack son, the girls mother.
 Mrs. Jackson, who formerly lived in Portland, has moved back here with her three other chill dren. The father died of a heart ailment last January.
 Roberta's will to live captured the sympathy of Juneau. The Alaska crippled children's fund paid for Roberta's long hospitali- zation al, the Mt. Edgcumbe ortho- pedic hospital near Sitka. Juneau residents raised the money for the family to return to Portland.

 The third type of error we shall call the "transposition." This form of error rarely puzzles a good reader. In such an error, all the but they aren't in the right order. letters of the word are present, You probably have made such a mistake on your typewriter.
 For instance, the word Missis- sippi might turn up as Missssiippi. All the esses and eyes are there, but they are scrambled. Most fre- quently encountered is the word "the" spelled hte. Or the word with" spelled wiht. This should not hold up single reader, so we won't delve deeply into the mat ter.
 The fourth type of error is hardly worth mentioning. l call it the printers practice swing" 7" Occasionally you will find line in story reading something like this:
 ETAOIN Shrdlu zzzzz bmw KY
 This mistake comes about when the linotype operator is starting work, and feels an urge to try out his machine, and clear the keys. He just hits all the letters in wild order, as sort of a Warmup. The line is cast, of course, and occa- sionally it isn't thrown out. So, the reader pops his eyes at this complete alphabetical confusion. Just disregard such lines.
 
 The fifth type of error we shall call the suspense ending.
 In this particular type of error, few lines of a story are left off as the printer inserts it in the form. The reader suddenly comes to the end of the story, right in the middle of sentence.
 It might go something like this:
 President Truman said that he would move immediately to block the . then it just ends there.
 Furthermore, it isn't bad en- ough that the lines are missing but they invariably turn up some- where else where they don't be- long.
 This generally gives you a re- suit. something like this:

Let us consider the various types of typographical errors, study them, and evolve methods of solving the mysteries they pre- sent the reader.
 
 The first and foremost type of esTor is an annoying type we shall call the little duker". This is merely wrong letter that occa- sionally creeps into a word. You might find the word Fairbanks spelled Fairbankz." Or the word city spelled Clay. This type of error offers no challenge to an enterprising reader. To solve it all you must do is study the word a few minutes, and then guess the right letter that makes the word sensible. We'll pass this one up.
 The second type of error you will encounter in the average newspaper is much more serious. call this type the printers de- light" In this particular type of mistake, the linotype operator, while he is setting the copy into lead type, not only hits the wrong letter, but inserts another letter that makes a good word, but which doesn't belong in the sen- tence at all.
 Let me illustrate, from a mis- take that our Miner proof reader caught last week. The sen- tence was supposed to read: "The airline will now operate regularly scheduled runs between Fair banks and Portland".
 But the operator inserted a T instead of a w, and here's how the sentence read: "The airline will not operate regularly scheduled service between Fair banks and Portland"
 Do you see why the printers delight" is such a deadly type of error? It completely changes the sense of the sentence, but yet the sentence looks fine. The only con- clusion the reader can come to is that the reporter who wrote the story must have been smoking marijuana.
 Once while working for a -Stateside newspaper, l had what I considered to be a beautiful story completely ruined by one of these printers delights. I was so broken hearted by the mishap' that I went home that night and suffered a nightmare. dreamed that I was being chased by two inebriated printers, who were threatening to scalp me with

 will frankly admit that whel you encounter such a hodge podge. the best thing to do is jus 10 skip to some other page in tht paper, and become interested II a new story.
 The sixth, and last type of CT TOT l call the "sciatic scramble" In this type of error, all sentencet of the paragraph are there, bu they aren't in the right order This form of mistake generally occurs when the makeup mar drops a story, then attempts tC assemble it again.
 For instance, you might run Tn. to paragraph like this:
 Five men were killed and ls were injured when a bus plunged into the vehicle survived wher the driver lost none of those aboard the ill-fated slippery pave. ment into the clutches of the river"
 frigid waters of Swift river last the dark waters. Rescuers said that control and the bus skidded of the night, and immediately vanished in the swift moving
 This problem shouldn't puzzle a clever reader. Just read each line slowly, and look through the paragraph until you find the line that continues the sense. You'll have to skip around a bit, but you should get the idea. before long. After all. a newspaper only costs a dime, and you can't expect your news on platter for ten cents.
 Casting all typographical er- TOTS aside, we would like to say that we are truly sorry for each mistake you find in our paper, or any paper, for that matter. We are watching for them constantly, and we are certain that you win rarely find any in our paper, in the future.
 We are making every effort to see that the News-Miner is typo graphically across any errors, you will know that every effort had been made to eliminate perfect, and we know that we can make it so. If in the future, you run them, and that our ability to con- trol.

True worship, the steadfast prac-

action, will be emphasized in the
Lesson-Sermon, read at the Sunday
morning service at IL o'clock.
The Golden Text is from John:
''The hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in spirit and in truth"
(4:23).
Selections from the Bible (King
James version) include: 'Pray with

Prove all things: hold fast that which
is good. Abstain from all appear
ance of evil. And the very God of
peace sanctify you wholly" Il

Correlative passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, Dis
coverer and Founder of Christian
Science include this one: Prayer
means that we desire to walk and
will walk in the light so far as we
receive it, even though with bleed
ing footsteps, and that waiting pa
tiently on the Lord, we will leave our
real desires to be rewarded by Him"

Report From

By U. S. Senator Herbert R. O'Conor

by U. y. senator Herbert IL. OCOn0r
With the apparent progress of eff
forts towards a truce in Korea, the
implications of any resulting modifi-
cations in defense preparations or
other planning closely tied to Ko-
rean hostilities have become a mat
ter of immediate interest in Capitol
Hill
Announced willingness of the Chi
nese and North Korean Reds to dis
cuss cease fire" within the next
ten days to two weeks comes at a
time when appropriations and taxes
for 1852 and succeeding years are
the leading matters currently under
discussion in the Congress- Largely
because of this timing, a great deal
of speculation has arisen in and out
side the Congress-, as to the possible
effects of such a cease fire on the
about defense spending for which
appropriations are projected for the
years ahead
No one, of course, will be rash
enough to suggest abandonment or
even sharp curtailment of the pro-
gram, now gaining momentum, to
bring Americas military might into
line with any possible attacks that
could be made upon us. And every
one is approaching the Russian-in-
spired peace offer with great deal
of caution.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
present tax rates and projected in
creases for 1852, as embodied in the
$7.2 billion tax bill now before the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
are being predicted upon vastly in
creased defense spending. Accord
ing to present programs, this would
total about $46 billion for 1852, with
an increase of some $40 billion for
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-07-05

'53 and comparable expenditures for
defense purposes for "a and IS.
Whether Korean fighting ceases or
not, the Russian threat to world
peace is still an all-persuasive world
threat. Against this danger United
States armed might must continue to
be the chief deterrent force. How
ever, human nature being what it is,
there is question in many minds
whether a cessation of hostiIities in
Korea will not present pressure for
some let-down in the tremendous
amounts of defense spending now
planned.
Accordingly, in some quarters it
is considered at least a possibility
that, if the cease fire actually takes
effect, there will be little if any in
crease in income taxes for the cur
rent year and less than the projected
increase for 1852. Likewise, corpor-
alton taxes, some members figure,
would not be increased as sharply
as now proposed and excess profits
taxes would not be changed ma
terially, if at all.
In any event, the prospect of end
ing of hostilities and of American
casualties will have an undoubted
effect on the thinking and planning
in Congress, an effect which more
than likely will be reflected in many
of the important legislative proposals
now pending.
Against Peace On Communist Terms
Vastly important in any consider
alton of cease fire" terms in Korea
is that no concessions be made with
respect to acceptance of the Chinese
Communists in the UN or in ceding
control of Formosa to the Reds.
A pending Senate Resolution,
which I co-sponsored along with
several other Senators, would express
the sentiment of the Senate against
any concessions on either of these
points.
