Pink Run on
 Increase at Anan And zimoya Strait

The pink salmon run at Anan Creek and in Zimovia Strait is building up, c. Howard Baltzo, assistant regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said to- day. There is a sharp increase in the showing since Aug. 6, he said.
 Escapement into Anan Creek is over 100000 to date and at Snake Creek over 50000 fish, according to Service weirs located at those creeks. Other streams in Bradfield Canal also show good escapements.
 "The most encouraging part" :" he stated, "is that more fish are still arriving"
 Reports from Anan say that there are 175 seine boats there.
 Pinks are just beginning to show in Rocky Pass, Baltzo said, but it will probably be another week or ten days before they arrive in any great numbers. Rocky Pass is normally a late district for pinks.

Minimum Hope We Can Estape 10-Year War,
 Says Military Expert

WASHINGTON, Aug. B. R "A Congressional military expert tolc the House today there is only a minimum hope" that the United States can avert an all-out wal that might last ten years.
 Opening debate on a 56,000, ,000,- 000 military appropriation bill, Rep Mahon tD-Tex) cautioned against 'complacency" and sounded this warning:
 'In my judgment, there Is only
 a minimum hope that our diff culties with Russia can and will be resolved short of war. Trends from cold to hot war, from little wars to big wars. do not have tendency to reverse themselves short of an all-out explosion"
 Mahon is chairman of an ap- propriations subcommittee in charge of military budgets. As such he is recognized spokesman on mili- tary matters. His subcommittee con- ducted weeks of closed hearings be- fore acting on the pending bill. Dur ing that time it quizzed top de- fense department leaders, both military and civilian.
 Tt is true,' he said, that the United States becomes stronger with every passing day. but the same probably is true of Russia.
 "Who is so foolish," he asked, "as to assume that the Commun- ists are standing still?"
 Mahon in an earlier interview estimated that the Korean cam 'pafgn cost the sUJr7itrvi 5ttutes- S6s-- 000,000.00t during it's first year up to last June 30-and predicted thuJr itswould cost almost that much more up to next June 30 unless con ditions change.

 Get Blanket Raise

Rents in Juneau will probably be granted a blanket increase, accord ing to A. Bandettini, director of the area rent control office.
 The control office said it is now ready to take applications from landlords for such increases.
 Tn any case where. the present maximum rent is less than, l20sper- cent of the June 30, 1947 rent, plus adjustments for improvements and services, the landlord is eligible for the rent increase" Bandettini said.
 Typical cases he cited where land lords are eligible to raise rent are;
 If the rent on June 30, ls47 was $50 per month and he has received no increase since that date, the owner may now obtain an additional 20 percent to $60.
 Where a $1O increase was given because of a major improvement on a dwelling renting for $50. land lord may now obtain an adoitional 20 percent of his present rent or sso for a new total of SIP. A gar age, modern bathroom or sleeping porch was listed in the announce ment as an improvement.
 Where the present rate is aiready more than 120 percent of the lS4' figure plus adjustments for inn movements and services, the pres ent maximum rent continues with out change" Bandettini explained
 Tn any case where there has been a decrease in services or equipment such as cutting off of utilities, sucn decreases must be shown in the ap- plication and are offsets against the 20 percent increase" he stated.

No Fishing
 Extension for Alaska Peninsula

Despite the fact that the Alaska Peninsula has had one of it's best pink salmon packs in years, no ex- tension can be permitted in that area. Clarence Rhode, regional di- rector of the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice said today.
 The escapement has been very poor to date and the Service has been obliged to deny the extension. Rhode added. A suspension order had been ordered on fishing in that district Aug. 3 with the view of ex- tending the season. But careful sur veys by Ricbard Shuman, fisheries management supervisor and Biol ogist T. Smith, along with reports of various operators, indicate the es- exponent is still very meager. E The area was due to close Aug. D.

Reds Publish Friendship Statements
Russia May Say U. 5. Rejection of Peate Pact Means No Amity

MOSCOW, Aug. 8.4R-Moscow's press today published fully the ex- change of statements between the United States and the Soviet Un- ion expressing friendship between the two peoples.
 Now Moscow can be expected to press its proposal for five-power peace pact. and to interpret it's re- jection by the U. s. as turning down of the whole idea of friendship.
 The Moscow proposal calls for a pact among Britain, France, the U.S.SR., the United States and Communist China For a long time the Soviet Union has been plumping for this as a means of lessening in- ternational tension. The United States does not recognize the Com -ssssssisist -ee~essassaaesat sff the Republic of China.
 z The press ard radie-..af the
 U.S.S.R now have given almost
 the entire Soviet population of , 200,000,000 an opportunity to be- 3 come acquainted with the ex- g change of niessages-(D Presi-
 dent Truman's letter commend
 ing a Congressional resolution of
 friendship for the Soviet peoples
 and (2) the reply of Nikoiai M.
 Shefnik, President of the Supreme Soviet, the U,S.S.R.s legislaturc.'
 The texts were broadcast and were
 given wide display in the news
 papers.
 Izvestia, the Soviet government newspaper, ran an editorial on the exchange, commenting that forces of international reaction" now were striving to confuse peoples with lies and to deceive them"
 There never was much expec- 'tatiOn that the United States
 would accept the idea of peace pact which included the Con-
 munist Chinese.
 However, with rejection of the proposal, the Soviet press may be expected to go to work on this viz orously and to tell the Soviet peoples that such rejection cancels out any expressions of American friendship for the Soviets. It would be difficult for the west in this case to counter this impression among the Russians.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON 1851. py Bell Syndicate. Inc.


 WASHINGTON. = One reason for the deadlock over the cease fire line in Korea is that precious tungsten deposits are at stake in the juggling for position. For, without Korean tungsten, this country won't have enough tung- sten to build jet engines, armor- piercing shells and, even more important, to supply atomic en- ergy needs.
 The pie-shaped slice of land, held by General Ridgways forces above the 38th parallel, contains rich, untapped tungsten deposits. This is one reason Ridgway has been ordered to hold firm. Fur thermore, the largest tungsten mine in the free world is located at Sangdon, less than 50 miles below the 3Sth parallel. This is another reason Ridgway wants to hang on to his stronger defense line above the 38th parallel, and keep the Communists as far from Sangdon as possible.
 The shortage of tungsten is so desperate that we have rushed mining equipment to Korea, in or der to step up production at the Sangdon mine and to reopen small mines above the 38th parallel.
 It is no secret that this coun- try is over two million pounds short of tungsten for civilian re- ouirements alone. Normally the

Reds Silent On Neutrality Demand
BULLETIN

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 8.-IRI- The Peiping radio said today Gen. Mathew B. Ridgeway's second sharp message to the Reds this week caused the world to doubt the basic sincerity of the Ameri- can side regarding the armistice negotiations"
 TOKYO, Aug 8, --R-Red ra- EdioS remained silent tonight on the United Nations demand for fresh guarantees of neutrality at the site of Korean armistice talks. Allied negotiators . returned to Korea during the day, ready to '~asume cease-fire talks if and when Communist commanders pledge the Kaesong neutral zone will be kept inviolable.
 No Mention !. ~But neither the Peiping nor Pyongyang radios mentioned to- night the new demand of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, U. N. com mander, first broadcast at 1:30 pm. Tuesday (730 pm. Juneau time).
 Instead-32 hours later the Chinese Red radio at Peiping featured a report the Red com manders still were waiting for Ridgway's reply to a Communist message dispatched Monday mor- ming.
 The Peiping broadcast said the letter, entrusted to an Am erican iiaison officer, contained assurances from north Korean Gen. Kim H Sung and Gen. 7 Peng Teh-Huai that the kae- song neutrality pledge would be observed.
 This apparently was the Red message which Ridgway acknow- ledged Tuesday in his demand for a new Red pledge they would real- ly keep their word. a
 24 3 Languages sth The Monitoring agency in Tokyo said the Red radio broadcast the story in English, Chinese and Japanese. It was featured as top news item, said to have been writ ten by a Red correspondent at Kaesong.
 The Peiping brOadcasts said the Chinese and north Korean cease-fire delegation waited at KaesOng Tuesday for the U. N. negotiatOrs. But the latter fail ed to arrive"
 Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy led the four American delegates back to the United Nations [ advance headquarters from top secret con- ferences with the U N. comman- der in Tokyo. On his arrival in Korea, Joy said:
 T have no idea when the talks will be resumed"
 The U. N. commander broke off talks after company of armed Reds marched through the neu- tral zone. Top Red commanders said it was an accident.
