On the Egyptian question. he
said he believed the Sudanese peo-
pie of the Anglo Egyptian Sudan
would stick with Britain in the
question Of choosing between Eng
land and Egypt. He added, how
ever, that the British have pledged
themselves not to act in connection
with the Sudanese without first
consulting the people, themselves.
He did not elaborate on this
situation. He summed up his world
view partly:
I'VE are clashing with Soviet
philosophy all over the world. It is
not situation to be cleared up
this year or next year. 1t may take
40 years. If the British and the
United States continue to work
togetnef we nave a good chance
OF avoiding total war.

is good not only because it helps
the more backward nations, but it
series to block Communism in
these nations"
Defending British trade with
Communist-eontrolled nations, he
said:
None of our trade is in strate-
gic war materials. We trade when
the exchange is more vital to our
welfare than the Russians. We need
foodstuffs for cattle and timber for
housing and factories.
Americans should try and see
this trade from our viewpoint"

Tension Mounts In Strike-BOund
 Bristol Bay

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Tension was reported mounting today in the strike-bound Bristol Bay area as charges of "strike-breaking tactics" were hurled at the Alaska Fishermen's Union and the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.
 The accusations were made by officials of the striking Boring Sea Fishermen's Union, whose 1,40O resident members walked out two weeks ago in support of demands for union recognition.
 Jim Downey of Dillingham;, chairman of the Boring Sc a Unions negotiating committee, said feeling had become so bitter "that residents of Bristol Bay may drive nonresident AFU members out of the area altogether if they continue their strike breaking op- eratlOnS."
 The "strike-breaking" accusa- ton came after AFU members crossed picket lines at Ekuk to take salmon to a Libby, McNeill & Libby cannery.
 He further charged that the AFU and the Salmon Industry used strike-breaking tactics in un- loading cannery supplies from the freighter Nadina at Naknek.
 Tn Seattle, George Johansen, AFU secretary treasurer, said AFU members were ignoring the Boring Sea picket lines and would continue to do so."

Labor Disputes Tie Up Every Major Port In Nation

NEW YORK, (R) = The CIO National Maritime Union claimed today that about 80 ships that should be on the high seas were sitting still" in port as result of labor disputes that tied up every major waterfront in the nation.
 Sailing of the American Export liner Elmira Victory for Trieste was cancelled today, the first ship in the Port of New York to be affected.
 Two other American Export ships, the Exbro0k and Exermont, are scheduled to sail tomorrow, but line officials said it was doubt full whether they would be able to leave. All three are combined passenger and cargo ships.
 Meantime, fe dera l mediators charted new efforts to settle the no-contract, n0-Work dispute.
 Only Korean war and other vital defense cargoes were mov- ing.
 An official of the CIO National Maritime Union said that no more American passenger ships carry ing tourist trade would sail until the contract dispute is settled.

WAVE Officer
 Appointed Head Air Force WAF's

WASHINGTON, (PD - Women in the Air Force are doing a not so-slow burn over the appoint ment of a Wave reserve officer as director of the WAT.
 And there's an awful fuss in the Pentagon powder rooms over just why the former director, It. Col. Geraldine "Jerry" May, re- signed. Associates told a reporter Saturday that Col. Mays "resig- nation for personal reasons" was a surprise not only to them, but to her. Colonel May declined to comment.
 The girls are hopping mad. You hear mumblings about double cross" And the selection of Miss Mary Jo Shelley, a naval reserv- ist, to head the WAT is inter preted in some quarters as a re- flection on the abilities of the Air Forces 425 women officers to handle an expanding recruiting program. Coloney Shelly, for mer assistant to the president of Bennington College, was sworn in last week.

Increased Power Nome AIRS Not For Propaganda

NOME, (P)-A military spokes- man said Saturday that the Air Force has no intention of using a more powerful radio station to offset Russian propaganda.
 The only reason for increasing the wattage of the Air Force Sta tion in Nome is to get informa- ton and entertainment to military personnel in the most isolated re- gions Of Alaska, he said.
 ''The power is not being in- creased for any international req sons whatsoever" the spokes- man said. "That type of activity would have to be handled by the State Department"
 The only American station in the Arctic-Bering Sea areas, 50-watt station at Marks Air Force base here, is being increased to 1000 watts. This will provide enter tainment for troops and for the natives, who are avid radio fans.
 Nome residents listen to the American station and to a Rus sian station which broadcasts from across the Boring Straits.

Outnumbered US.
 Jets Destroy 6 Reds
(By the Associated Press)

Outnumbered American Sabre jets destroyed six Russian-type jets and damaged eight others in two big air battles over Korea yesterday and today.
 A total of 118 planes were in- volved in the sudden revival of jet warfare.
 Sixteen Red jets made a third stab at four Sabre jets Monday afternoon-but kept at safe dis tance. They fired twice on the F-86s, then streaked back across the Yalu river into the safety of Manchuria.
 All American planes returned safely, Far East Air Forces said.
 Reappearance of the Red jets in force coincided with indications the Chinese may be preparing a new ground offensive.
 Red troops suddenly appeared in territory they had previously deserted. Requirements steadily filtered down from the north for holding troops all along the front.

Assessment Work Moratorium Faces Heavy Opposition

WASHINGTON, (P) - A new drive to give some sort of relief to mining claim holders who are required to do $10O worth of assessment work on their claims each year is shaping up in Con- gress.
 It appeared today however that such drive may face heavy going.
 For many years Congress an- nually granted a moratorium" suspending the assessment work requirement.. Last year it granted only a three months extension from July 1 to Oct. flor com pleting the work.
 Rep. Began O-Tex), chairman of the House Interior Affairs min ing subcommittee, says several bills have been introduced in this Congress to grant another assess ment work moratorium.
 He told a reporter, however, that after conferring with mem- bers of the subcommittee, he had definitely decided against consid- ering any such legislation.
 The Interior Affairs Committee, when seeking extension of the three-month time bill last year, definitely pledged" to Congress that there would be further mora toriuns, Began said.

Executive Approved

The amendment to the Civil
Defense Law which was
passed by the Sixteenth Legis-
lative Assembly of the Virgin
Islands, received Executive
approval. In approving the
amendment, however, Cover
nor de Castro pointed out
that:
"This measure falls far
short of what is vital in our
Civil Defense Program. It is
my understanding that the
full Civil Defense Bill was re-
jected for the reason that it
conferred too extensive DOW
ers upon the Executive. It
would be remembered that the
purport Of these bills was to
deal with emergencies and
that in such emergencies dras-
tic powers are ordinarily r e.
quired. l cannot too strongly
reject the theory that provi-
sions in the bill as submitted
to the Assembly were too far

Determination of the amount
OF taxes due in the event the
taxpayer fails to make revela-

Based on this observation Mr..
