More Milk Coming Up; Five Jersey
 Heifers Arrive

Five Jersey heifers were unloaded from the ship Sailor Splice over the weekend. Coming from the L. H. Mckee Registered Jersey herd of Perrydale. Oregon, they will be add ed to the Glacier Dairy herd of Dwight Nash.
 These Jerseys take their place beside their year older sisters that arrived in Juneau last year. All are daughters of the same sire, Remus Baronet Highspot. His daughters have responded well to the climate here Nash says. The older daughters have produced an average of five gallons a day and under test the remarkable content of 50 percent more energy units than ordinary milk was found.

Truman May Ask for World
 |A-BombCe

If
 fsAhIg, gos. gT 1sla ITis.tsd States was reliably reported today to have decided to propose a world wide arms census including com- plete accounting of all atomic wea- pons.
 The US. plan, which will be placed before the United Nations Assembly here this week, calls for strict system of verification for the atomic accounting. This may prove to be the stumbling block which could hold up indefinitely any disclosure of the number of atom bombs in the US. and Russia.
 Informed quarters said the arms proposal was the heart of the reported peace plan which Presi- dent Truman will announce We'd nesday night and which Secretary of State Dean Aches0n will lay before the United Nations Assem- bIy, perhaps on Thursday.
 Inclusion of atomic weapons i'll the proposed arms census represents a drastic change in US. policy. The census question has been before the LIN. since 1948, but was blocked by the Russian veto because the US. refused to include atomic wea- pons.
 Word of the US. policy shift leaked out as the 6O-patiOn assembly prepared to launch its 1851 meeting here tomorrow. The US. was reported asking Britain and France to support its new peace formula, timed to beat Russia to the peace punch before the Soviets. have a chance to re- new their expected peace offen- sive.
 The main points of the arms cen- sus, are expected to be:
 l. A JUN. demand upon all coun- tries for a complete accounting of all troops and weapons.
 2. An ironclad system for send ing inspectors into any country to make first-hand verification of the figures submitted.
 The arms census plan is intended as preliminary step toward gen. eral reduction of armaments and armed forces.
 President Truman proposed to the last assembly that the U. N combine atomic discussions with talks on conventional armaments This idea has been accepted by the special committee which studied the question during the summer. It Is now before the assembly for final action

The w ashington Merry Go Round
tCopy-.gfit, 1851. by Bell Syndicate, Inc
 By DREW PEARSON

w ASHINGTON-The Democrat ic National Committee almost came apart at the seams last week when party officials went to Washing ton to 'elect" President Truman's manipulated candidate as party chairman.
 On the surface all was sweetness and light-just as sweet as the Princess Elizabeth, whom he was entertaining while his party chief tains boiled. But underneath, con- troversy was so bitter that at one point top lady Democrat India Ed wards resigned as vice president of the Democratic National Commit tee.
 In the end, visiting Democrats came to heel in a most undemocratic manner They did exactly what the White House wanted them to do- thanked outgoing Chairman Bill Boyle for his past services and duti- fully elected Indiana's Frank Mc- Kinney, little-known amateur, to replace him. It had the efficiency of a trained animal act.
 The revolt which simmered, but never reached the boiling point, got its initial touch-off two weeks ago when President Truman called in vice chairman India Edwards and offered her Bill Boyle's place. Mrs. Edwards, an energetic and popu- lar figure among all Democrats, de- clined on the grounds that the '52 election campaign should be run by a man. But she specifically and categorically asked that she be con- suited on the selection of the new

Demands Cut In Government
 Spending
Senator Asks for Caution in Military Expenses; Limit on Taxes

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 = R - Senator OMahoney CD-Wyo) said today he has cautioned Secretary of Defense Lovett and Pentagon officials to cut next years mili- tary spending to fit the pattern of tax revenues.
 O'Mahoney got immediate sup port in this move from Senator Flanders (R-Vt), who told re- porter Congress must inform the Defense Department: Here is how much money we are going to allow you to spend and you shape your budget accordingly"
 President Truman will go to work on the overall budget, including the military items, at his winter re- treat in Key West, Fla. after his conferences this week with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 O'Mahoney said he has conferred with Lovett and Pentagon officials in an effort to head off any out sized military requests.
 From the secretary on down, I told them they had better cut their requests to fit the pattern of rev. enues or Congress would be likely to do it for them," he added.
 "O'Mahoney. who heads the Sen- ate-House Economic committee, and Flanders, a member of the group, agreed that any additional tax in creases are unlikely.
 We have reached the limit on taxes, so far as rates are concerned" O'Mahoney said.

Chance of Bail
 For 12 Attused Of Red Charges

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 = R - The Supreme Court today gave l2 persons accused of Communist ac- tivities a new chance to win re- lease from jail in Los Angeles on bail of less than $50,000 each.
 The 12 appealed to the high tri- bunal after lower federal courts in California refused to cut their bail.
 The Supreme Court, in an opin- ion by Chief Justice Vinson, said the US. District Court in San Francisco had not used proper methods" in fixing the $5O,000 figure.
 Vinson said the 12 should be per mitted to go back to the district court and asked for reduced bail, and that they should have the right to appeal to the US. Circuit Court in San Francisco if denied reduc- ton.
 Among the group is William Schneiderman, referred to as the acting head of the Communist party in the United States. He was arrested in New York last summer and taken to Los Angeles.
 Among it's other actions today the high court:
 l. Voted 6 to against hearing at this time the governments chal- lenge of a lower courts decision that FBT if1forrnants may be sued for libel and islander if their state ments are motivated by malice. The decision was handed down by the US. Circuit Court in New York, but actual trial of the suit is pend ing. The FBI asked vainly for a quick Supreme Court ruling over turning the circuit court.
 2. Refused to review the murder trial of Grant E. Rio, convicted in Whitman County, Wash, for the killing of Joe Roberg and James Beckner. The jury recommended the death penalty.
 3. Refused to review a decision holdings invalid Utah law which required employers to make union dues deductions from wages when asked to do so by workers.
 4. Granted hearing to Yvette Madsen, who is serving a 15-year prison term in this country for the staying of her army officer husband after party at an American air base in Germany two years ago.

Gov. Grueninu Says Statehood Fight in Open

Opposition in some parts of the south to Alaska becoming a state was finally voiced and the true req son given at the recent Governors Conference, according to Gov. Ernest Gruening who returned last weekend from six-weeks' stay in the States.
 Gov Gruening said that this years conference was the first where the Alaska and Hawaii state hood resolutions met with opposi- tion when they came to a vote.
 The Governors Conference passed the statehood bills for the fifth consecutive time, but Gov Herman Talmadge of George set a precedent by voting No" He later withdrew his negative vote with the provision that it be made a matter of record.
 Gov. Gruening said today that Sen. Ernest w. Mcfarland, of Ari- zona,, has promised that the bill will be brought up in the coming session of Congress. Senator Me Farland is majority leader of the Senate
 q, According to Gov Gruening, it has been a rule of the conference that all resolutions be approved unanimously because, he says, the group is formed on non-political basis and it would not be desirable to split the conference with high controversy. All resolutions are presented to a committee of a num- Der of. governors who sift each enc to discuss the advantages and dis advantages before deciding to report favorably to the entire conference.
 Therefore. Gov. Gruening says, almost invariably the resolutions re- ported on favorabiy are approved by the conference,
 "NO" Against Statehood
 "But when the statehood resolu- ton came up at the executive ses- sion-Which was the last session cf the conference Gov. Gruening ex- plained, Everyone was surprised to hear a lone mo- It proved to come from Gov. Talmadge of Georgia.
 When asked by the chairman of the session, Gov. Battle of Virginia, if he would have any objection to Stating his reasons for voting against the resolution, Gov. Talmadge said, Not at all'."
 Talmadge then went on to explain that the people of Georgia were opposed to any more senators who might be in favor of cloture = the procedure limiting debate, and whereby filibustering is finally stop ped.
 Gov. Gruening says that the fact that Gov. Talmadge stated his req son will prove useful.
 Ut was at last stated clearly what those who have watched the state hood battle have long suspected" ,"

Japan Urges .Conser rva;ion Of Fisheries

TOKYO, Nov. 5-tR-Japan urged conservation of North Pacific sea resources at the. opening today of negotiations with the United States and Canada for an International fisheries agreement.
 The negotiations were provided for in the Japanese peace treaty signed two months ago in San Fran cisco.
 A Japanese delegate said fishing lis life or death matter to the Japanese people" He said Japan favors appropriate conservation of North Pacific undersea life and has mo desire or intention to leave fisheries activities uncontrolled and unrestricted"
 William c. Harrington, Assistant Undersecretary of State who heads the 10-man U. s. delegation, said the United States feels sure ar- engagements can be made which will maintain maximum prOduc- ton of present fisheries and en- courage development of resources mot now being fully realized"
 l. He proposed: A commission be established to coordinate fisheries research and to administer conser- vation regulations.
 2. Each nation agree not to in- wade fisheries which can be proven already fully utilized by another of the three nations.
 3. Each nation agree not to in- wade fisheries where another of the three nations has imposed hmita- tions on it's own fishermen.
 4. Each nation harvest fish in high seas contiguous to its territor- ial waters and in areas it has helped develop.
 Canadian Minister of Fisheries R. w. Mayhew said Canada wants an agreement based on good sense giving to each of us some respon- sibility for promoting the develop ment of fisheries in way that will maximize production and maintain constant yields of food for the peo- pie of the world"
 The negotiations are expected te last three or four weeks.

5ih Atomic Blast
 Exploded; Perhaps Biggest One Yef

LAS VEGAS, Nev., Nov. 5-tPl-- The fifth atomic blast in the cur rent test series exploded at 8:3l am. (PST) today.
 Thirty seconds later the atomic cloud customary in the detonations could be seen from Las Vegas ris- ing over the Yucca Flat test site 75 miles away.
 It was big one, perhaps the big gest yet. observers here who have seen the previous blasts reported.
 There was a purplish color to the mushrooming cloud.
 An indication of the size and potency of this detonation was in- dicated by an unusual warning from the Atomic Energy Commission.
 Radio stations in wide area covering Goldfield, Beatty, and Caliente, Nev., were asked to warn residents to open windows in their homes and stores.
 Presumably this would be to les sen effects of tremendous concus- sion expected.
 Seven minutes after the detona- tion there was a perceptible rumble in Las Vegas. along with sudden blast of wind.
 The brilliant flash of the burst was as bright. at least, as the big one last Thursday, the first detona- tion in which troops participated in atomic maneuvers. LAS VEGAS, Nev., Nov. 5-R- The fifth and biggest atomic blast in the current series of tests gave Nevada town a realistic disaster drill today.
 The detonation sent a cloud mushrooming from the Yucca Flat test site, 75 miles from here, at 8:3l am. (PST). The bursts bril- liant flash, plainly visible here. was followed by perceptible rumble and windy gust. The bomb was dropped from a B-29 plane.
 But in Caliente, Nev., 185 miles northeast of here, the 2,500 resi- dents had an exprience such as they might have in real atomic war.
 The sheriff's office in Calicnte had only about Is minutes notice of warning. But deputies treated it Ike a genuine disaster Officers iruffiEu through the town. telling citizens to get out of buildings.
 Children were hustled from class rooms into school yards. Residents emerged from houses. stores and business places throughout the town.
 The atomic cloud today could be seen from here rising 30 minutes after the blast.

Reds Say U. }. Building Base Near Siberia

MOSCOW, Nov. 51R-The Soviet
 news agency Tass said today the
 northern Japanese island of Hak- kaido - 200 miles west of Siberia = is being "feverishly transformed
 into Japan's largest military base. A Tass dispatch from Shanghai
 said great attention is being att tached to the recent visit of US. Army Chief of Staff J. Lawton Col lins to northern Japan.
 The dispatch said Collins inspec- tion trip of Hokkaido was particu- larly interesting and reveals the intensification of American mili- tary preparations in north Japan"
 The dispatch added that Japanese
 authorities are being given full CO., operation by the Americans in the militarization of Hokkaido." Japanese police reported several weeks ago that sounds of Soviet
 gunfire on the Habonai Islands off Hokkaido's eastern tip were creating mounting fears among Japanese One official said Japanese police
 reserves were training with bazookas
 and mortars on Hokkaido, but added that this use of heavier weapons was
 not related to difficulties with the Russians.

KNOW WnaL the general pubic
wants.
And there's that June 3O-get-
ting closer and closer.
CHAIRMAN MAYBANK O-SC.)
of the Senate Banking Committee
thinks the public is simply indif-
ferent toward the matter of price
and wage controls at the moment.
He also says this apathy may
be reflected by Congress.
Il don't know whether there'Il
be any law or not latter June
3O)," Maybank said in "a discus
sion of the situation with news
reporters the other day.
Yet his committee is supposed
to tell the Senate what should be
done with or about the DPA af-
ter June 80. And the Banking
Committee in the House is in the
same boat.
The apathy, to whatever extent
it exists, is accounted for in Wash
ington, by the fact that there has
been a general dwelling off of
many prices in the last couple OF
months, although this is not true
of all prices.
Administration Spokesman say
this is due mostly to use of the
controls. Many other persons say
it's due to other factors, includ-
ing a big boost in production OF
civilian goods since last Summer
This leads many members Of
Congress to wonder whether bar.

ample or at least nearly ample,
production for both civilian con.
sumption and defense. This cou-
pied with judicious use of taxa.

off serious initiation, they believe
Then the public wouldn't want
price controls anymore.
How does the public feel about
that?
That's the question most mem.
bers of Congress would like tc
have answered.
CONGRESS MAY decide to ex.
tend the DPA temporarily, say fol
80 or so days, take a recess, &c
home and find out what the con
stituents have to say about these
controls.

YOU and az
YOUR @EEE!EIEE
CONGRESS
COMPILED BY THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE OF THE
UNITED STATES

by Courtesy of The ST. croix
Chamber of Commerce
CONGRESS sometimes finds it.
self in peculiar situations.
1t is in one now.
Here's the picture:
Last summer, after the fighting
in Korea, began, prices OF most
things started to rise.
When the rise had continued
for several weeks, many people
throughout the land became price
conscious-especially housewives
who were juggling grocery bud
gets. A fear OF runaway prices
began to build up.
Presently Congress wa flooded
with letters demanding price con-
trolls.
Congress knew what the public
Wanted-or at least what many
voters were asking for-and pro-
vided it.
The House and Senate voted
price controls, accompanied by
wage controls-With both on a
standby basis, to be used when
the President desired.
THIS WAS DONE in September
with the Defense Production Act
DPA). The DPA also provided
controls for converting industrial
facilities and materials usage from
civilian output to defense produc-
ton.
Not exactly sure of itself, Con-
gress finally put an expiration
date of June 80, 1851, on the DPA.
This, it was decided, would give
the Act time for a trial run.
Then it's performance could be
checked and a decision made as to
whether it should be allowed to
continue, stopped, or have its
course changed.
Now June 80, 1851, is staring
Congress in the face.
And Congress finds itself able
to assess only part of tbe trial run.
1t Ear determine pretty well
how the producti9P controls have
worked.
These affect business principal
ly and business has not been back
ward in expressing its opinions.
But the other part of the DPA
the economic controls-affects
the public, as well as business, di-
rectly.
: And, in sharp contrast to last
Summer with its deluge of mail,
Congress isn't hearing from the
public. At present, mail from con-
stituenss on price controls is a
mere trfckle.
This time Congress doesn't
