YOUNG GERMAN DRAFTED INTO U. s. ARMY

DARMSTADT, Germany, (P)- Young Peter Fleck, who used to wear the blue-gr of the German Luftwaffe, is back in uniform again - this time it's American olive drab.
 Fleck, g, was yanked into the Luftwaffe air defenses when he was IS. Because of his youth and because his service was "auxil> iary" Fleck escaped life in a pris> oner. of war camp.
 Last May Peter got permission and went to the United States to the home of his cousin, Arthur Fleck, of Lindenhurst, Long Is- land. But soon Selective Service reached out and last August Peter found himself at Ft. Knox, Ky.
 Soon after training he headed for the US. 1st Division and duty in his homeland. He says military service is small price to pay for American citizenship.

Gen. Kepner: Alaska Is Only Place Where Russia Can Attack"


 "He who would have security must bear its burden" Ut. Gen. William E. Kepner, commander in-chief, Alaskan Command, said in speech in Anchorage last week.
 Stressing the need for leader ship and responsibility in the world today, he pointed out the responsibilities civilians and mili- tary personnel must accept to maintain security in Alaska.
 ''It has long been said that he who controls Alaska controls the world. This is more true today than ever. Alaska is vitally inn portant because of its geographi- cal location," the general stated.
 "Stalin's greatest weapon is masses of people. Alaska is the one spot where Russia can launch an attack using these masses"
 General Kepner reported need for an extensive warning system, widespread aerial defense, sur face defenses and sea forces to defend Alaska.
 ''We have come a long way in building these defenses, but we do not have enough yet. We will also need more facilities such as barracks, warehouses, mainten- ance shops and equipment to house and equip much larger army in case of an attack"
 He concluded that it will take each person, working with the combined military forces, the Ma tional Guard and the Civil De- fense program to insure security for Alaska.

More Deaths
 Threatened for Capture of RObber

NEW YORK, R)- Death threats to mourning family and to a garageman involved in the arrest of bank robber Willie Sutton Tuesday spurred New York City's grimmest killer hunt in dozen years. Dl
 For 19,00O policemen the 'sNo. I" job was to trap the slayer who in gangland style Saturday night shot down pants salesman Arnold Schuster, 24. The latter's tip led to Sutton's arrest.
 The scope of the manhunt was emphasized last night when May or Vincent Impellitteri said he would ask the city board of esti- mate to vote a $25,000 reward "for the capture of the murderer. :"
 Not since 1940 has the city put up such a high reward, and then it was in the killing of two de- tectiveS.
 Even as Schuster was buried Monday, the reports of new death threats extended the shadow of terror over Brooklyn.
 While the Schusters were at the funeral, a threat was directed at Jack Peene, a garageman who was helping Sutton with a stalled car shortly before his capture on Feb. 18
 Peene immediately was given police guard at his service sta ton, while his wife and their two small children were sent under guard to an undisclosed shelter.

GRUENING SAYS NEW
 CONGRESS WILL GRANT STATEHOOD TO ALASKA

Gov. Ernest Gruening said in Portland November II he be- lieves statehood for the territory finally will materialize in the 83rd Congress.
 The governor told reporters he doubts whether the change of ad- ministrations will change the statehood situation much. Lead CTS of both parties have approv- ed the statehood program, he said.
 Gruening also said the next Congress probably will approve legislation to enable the Alumin- um Company of America to ac- quire enough land to build it's proposed aluminium plant near Skagway.
 Gruening said he expects to be relieved as governor of Alas ka when his present appointment expires in April, 1853.

Flight Seals StHl Available for Nome Trip November 28

There are still several open ings on the planes going to Nome, Supt. of Schools William Zahrad- nicek announced this week. Any one interested in making the trip on November 28 should contact him at his office. The round trip fare will be $50.

If for some reason the flight should have to be can celled, all fares will be returned to the purchasers. However, there will be no refunds on tickets purchased but not used.

Con this, the Butte Miners Union
Day of 1852, with our ranks united
and greatly strengthened we can con.
fidently face up to the work ahead
which will add to the splendid rec
ord of service rendered by our Un-
ion to its members and to the peo-
pie.
To-day, as we celebrate the 74th
Anniversary of the founding of Butte
Miners Union and take just pride
in the history of our long-established
organization which we shall never
forget, we must concern ourselves
with the present and the future-with
the gains still to be fought for and
problems yet unsolved."
Recounting the history of BMU No.
1, and how, in 1898, that union took
the lead in organizing the old West
ern Federation of Miners, the spec
ial MINERS VOICE notes some of
the major Improvements achieved by
non-ferrous metal workers through
the WIN and later on through In
ternational Union of Mine, Mill &
Smelter Workers. These included:
Reducing of the 10 and ~ hour
day to hours by state legislation in
Utah, Montana, Arizona, California,
Nevada, Colorado, Missouri, British
Columbia and Ontario. The Utah law
was the first 8-hour law in the coun-
try and WIN successfully carried
its defense to the U. S. Supreme
Court.
In the last 10 years, the publica-
ton states, many other important
gains have been realized by Mine
Mill. During this period the union
won the union shop, rights for the
unions grievance machinery, vaca-
lions, dues check-off, shift differen-
tials, holidays, pension plan, and in
creased wages from $4.25 in 1888.

song called "Ferdinand' reached
the heights of passing popularity and
then faded away. Now, after three
unsuccessful attempts to get repre-
sentatives of Montana Economic
! Council to share a public debate on
the proposed compensation initiative,
a number of the people of the Bitter
Root are again recalling that tune
of yesteryear. They are drawing
parallels of the affable bull in the
song and the bull the MEG has been
peddling from one end of the state
to the other.
Tuesday night, for the third time,
representatives of Montana Industrial
Health Committee headquarters in
Helena made the trip here to debate
the initiative. And, though crowd
of upwards of hundred showed up
at the Eagles Hall for the occasion,
the proponents of the initiative once
again had the platform all to them
selves.
On the platform for the initiative
Tuesday night were Stan Thurston,
Helena, and Ernest Salvas, Butte.
EDITORS NOTE: Hamilton isn't |
the only place the MEG crowd has
ducked debating the initiative. They
refused to share the platform at Mon
tana State College, Bozeman, didn't |
show up for a similar public meeting
in Great Falls, and have consistently
ignored requests by Kalispell labor to
debate the issue. Only twice have
hey been cornered-at Choteau and

Also you state 6. Hundreds of
private, small businesses in Montana
have joined the Montana Economic

member has been asked to contribute
$500 per employee. Naturally the
ACM is the largest contributor in the

the publicity that has been published,
starting in February of this year, you
can also discover that several hun
dreds of dollars had been spent long
before the Montana Economic Coun-
Gil was formed or even heard of. |
don't believe the MEG was formed
until about April 16, 1862, yet adj
verse publicity appeared in the Com

cidentally very conservative esti-
mate has been made that the MEG
has spent better than $4,000 to OPP
pose this initiative by publicity, etc.,

businessmen of Montana thru $500
contributions have contributed any
where near enough to pay the cost
for that kind of money. 1t is also very
