 sU. s. Ambassador John Foster Dulles said in a radio tCBS) inter view: T assume that Russia will walk out of the conference.
 T doubt that they will sign the treaty, and they won't want to be spectators to the signing"

The W ashington Merry Go Round

(Ed. Note-While Drew Pear son is on brief vacation, the { Washington Merry -go-round is being written by several disting- uished guest columnists, today's being by the Hon. Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary of Labor.)
 WASHINGTON. - I'd like to use this moment in the conductors chair of the Merry -go-round to pass out some brass rings to the American worker and his boss.
 So much has been written about their quarrels and their problems that we tend to forget their joint accomplishments. Together they have built a remarkable record of industrial peace. Together, with the help of that record, they have made America the most productive nation on earth.
 Most people have learned to read of killings and robberles ln the newspapers with the realiza- ton that these things are the ex- captions and not the rule in Am erican life. But too many fail to apply the same understanding to stories of strikes and labor-man- agement disputes.
 It cannot be pointed out too of- ten that most of the workers and most of the employers settle their problems most of the time in a peaceful way. The newspapers

Foresf Servite Lurinq Pulp industry win Three Prospective Mill Siies
By FRANK W. vAILLE

ss-ssze.,as..st-l
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 7-lR-- Like a hopeful fisherman, the For est Service reported today it still is dangling three well-baited lines which it hopes will land a sizable pulp industry for Alaska.
 The bait is the near virgin tim Ger of the Tongass National forest -16,0C0,0O0 acres of spruce and hemlock.
 Originally, four lines were out but the Ketehikan Pulp and Paper Company of Bellingham, Wash.,- after numerous nibbles finally snapped up the hait. It is sched- uled to start construction this spring at Ward Cove, near Ketch- ikan, of high-grade rayon plant capable of daily production of be- tween 300 and 525 tons
 So far, according to E. H. Payne, assistant in the Forest Services timber management di- vision, the other three sites-Ju- neau, Sitka and Thomas Bay near Fetersburg-haye received no solid strikes.
 The Alaska Industrial Corp. of New York has made premliminary inquiries regarding the Sitka To- cation, Payne said, but apparently dropped out The D & F Co.,, headquartered in New York and Los Angeles, even went so far, he said, as to request that the Thom- as Bay location be advertised, then failed to submit an offer. No spe- cific commitments have been re- ceived on the Juneau location.
 Service Hopeful
 Payne said none of the inquiries is considered active now but the Forest Service is hopeful that ln- terest might be revived or other companies lured in by the Ketch- ikan development.
 During hearings before the Senate Appropriations Commit tee last spring, B. F. Hcintzie- man, regional forester for Alas ka. estimated the TOngass for ests capabIe of annual produc- ton of 100000 tons of pulp in addition to an increased quant- ity of lumber" This harvest would be on a sustained-yield Da- sis and could go on forever" he declared.
 Cut Only S20,000
 Heintzleman's testimony, releas- ed only recently, was in support of the Bureau of Public Roads re- quest for $3,500,000 to build high ways in the Tongass forests. The request, cut only $20,0O0 by the Senate, now is awaiting confer ence action.
 The regional forester said the appropriation would be divided among Ketchikan, Sitka and Ju- neau with approximately one third to each.'
 He also detailed sketchily the status of negotiations at both Sit ka and Juneau, but did not men tion the Thomas Bay site. He mentioned no companies by name hut said the Sitka location was being considered by group that is connected with Belgium inter ests."

Rail Extension Alaska
 Again Urged
Canadian Group Asks that Pacific Great
 Eastern Road be Pushed

PRINCE RUPERT, Sept. 7--tR-- Extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway from Prince George, B. O., to Alaska was urged again yesterday.
 This time the urging was done by the Prince George board of trade at the annual convention Of central British Columbia associa- ted boards of trade here.
 The cost of such an 1,800-mile extension has been estimated at around 100000.
 The Prince George group said rail link with Alaska would provide an important step in de- fease Of the Pacific Coast and rsev trrs cry in ~srtb- ern British Columbia for indus trial and agricultural develop ment.
 H. c. Perry, chairman of the resolutions committee, said the United States Congress had all ready passed two resolutions call ing for the rail extension.
 Policy Work
 The Prince George resolution drged the provincial government to work out policy with the Uni- ted States government and United States private interests on the rail link.
 (Various talks have been held iil the past by Canadian, United States and British Columbia gov crnment officials on the subject but nothing came of them. Prin- cipally, the high cost has ruled out the projecD.
 Another resolution, presented by the Juneau, Alaska, Chamber of Commerce urged construction of a highway from Juneau to Atlin, on the provinces far-northern boundary The Chamber suggested that Canada and the United States make it a joint project.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7-R- Indonesia decided today to sign the Japanese peace treaty, thereby des- troying Russia's last chance of block ing a solid lineup of non-Commun- ist nations in the San Francisco conference.
 The decision taken by the govern ment in Jakarta came as the con ference hummed with speculation that Soviet Delegate Andrei Gro myko, and his Communist cohorts would walk out before the treaty is signed.
 It was believed he might act after Poland's scheduled speech late today or wait until just before the signing ceremony begins, probably Satur- day morning.
 The sixth plenary session of the conference adjourned at 12:41 pm, and will resume at pm.
 Foreign Minister Ahmad Soc bardjo of Indonesia addressed the conference before he had received his new instructions from Jakarta to sign. The information minister of the government there ann0unc- ed after a twO-hOur cabinet meet ing that the decision to join the meeting had been taken by mar row margin.
 Peace Brought Them
 Soebardjo told the conference his delegation had come here not be- cause it agreed to all provisions of the treaty, but because the con- ference was an effort to bring peace to the world"
 Most speakers who walked to the rostrum this morning briefly ex- pressed their overall satisfaction with the treaty and made clear the intention to sign. The lineup of na- tions due to sign the peace treaty with Japan stood at 48. That left only the three Communist bloc countries in the minority.
 Barring last minute delays, the treaty will be signed tomorrow by probably 48 nations-but not by the Reds. It seemed doubtful they will even make an appearance at the ceremony.

A DaY of IndecisiOn

Days of INDIGESTION are the hard days
and most of the time we bring it on
ourselves. Monday, for instance, was
too cloudy to wash at breakfast time
but before any other project was
under way the sun peeped through.
May clear up" we tell ourselves,
land tomorrow it will set in in earn
est"
The wash gets under way. But just
as the first basket is ready to hang,
it clouds up, so the basement lines
are cleaned and the clothes hung
there. When the starched ones are
ready the sun is out, so they're hung
outside with the good feeling that
they will be ready to iron by night
The last tub of dungarees goes out
too. The air is warm and there's a
breeze.
Then comes the thought that
throws us. How nice it would be to
hang the sheets and towels outside
They'd get so fluffy in the breeze
Besides, they have to ironed when
they dry indoors. Down they come
along with everything else and
they're hung outside to ripple with
the breeze.
Then mist starts settling and the
clothes get damper, not dryer, and
at the end of the day they're taken
down and again hung in the base
ment, because tomorrow will prob
ably be bear-cat
Then the morrow is a beautiful day
and the clothes are still not dry. But
this time there's no indecision
They'll stay there till they dry if it
takes a week." And any of us who
are caught with a day like that
knows it's not the work but the in
decision that has worn us out.
