Soviets Repeat
 Charges of Germ Warfare in Korea

MOSCOW, (R-The campaign against alleged US. germ war fare in Korea is being whipped to a high pitch here.
 Izvestia, the Soviet government newspaper, Friday published a declaration by Patriarch Alexei of the Russian Orthodox Church and three leading metropolitans con- demning alleged meteorological warfare in Korea.
 Soviet press reports repeated previous charges in Peiping that the United States is now using poison gas on the Korean front.
 Russia refused in the United Nations Disarmament Commission yesterday to support a United States proposal for an impartial investigation by the International Red Cross of the Communist germ warfare charges. The United States has repeatedly denied the charges.

Alaska Railroad Rates To Be Raised April 15

ANCHORAGE, P)-Five fun damental changes in freight rate tariffs of the Alaska Railroad are to be effected April 15 under re- visions now being studied, it was announced today.
 Rail officials said the rate re- vision is essential if the road is to keep operating as members of Congress have indicated a reluc- tance to subsidize it through ap- propriations in the federal budget.
 The road showed a deficit of $4O0,000 in operating revenues since the start of the current fis- cal year last July 1 despite a heavy increase in business. The $5OO,OOO increase in revenues may not be enough and further up- ward revisions are contemplated

SubmarineVOlcanO Pushes Rocks 25O
 Feet Above Pacific

MANILA, (P) - A submarine volcano, coming to life after a 90-year sleep, pushed a moving mass of volcanic rock Wednesday 25O feet above the surface of the Pacific Ocean 315 miles north of Manila.
 The turbulent pile of rocks en- compassed an area of at least five acres. For Is acres around it the ocean boiled and bubbled like a witch's brew.
 5 A 10,000-foot column of smoke and sulphurous steam lowered.
 Huge black boulders, some of them five stories high, were tum- bled about
 Off to one side of the growing, crater-shaped island, a needle pointed black rock stuck up stark ly.
 The rock and the island both appeared to be surrounded by breaking surf.
 But as a CAY piloted by Maj. Gen. Ernest Moore circled to within 200 feet of the surface it became apparent the white water was the ocean boiling from con- tact with the hot rocks.
 The new volcano island is ap- bearing at almost the identical spot where almost century ago an undersea eruption created Didicas Rocks and pushed them 700 feet above the surface.
 The first close inspection was made Wednesday from the plane piloted by Gen. Moore, command CT of the US. 18th Air Force.

Ike May Change His Mind About Campaigning

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, Allied Power Europe, (F) - Gen. Eisenhower said Thursday ''the mounting numbers of my fellow citizens who are voting to make me the Republican nominee" may cause him to change his mind about refusing actively to seek nomination to political office.
 Gen. Eisenhower issued an in formal statement at his headquar- ters in response to requests by reporters for comment on the Min nesota primary Tuesday in which more than 100000 voters wrote in his name in the Republican preferential primary.
 The statement said:
 "You gentlement probably re- alize how astonished I was by the results of the Minnesota pri- mary.
 "I did not imagine that so many voters in Minnesota would make me a write-in candidate and, ac- cording to newspaper accounts, some of them had trouble with my name.
 "I count it an additional com pliment that some refused to be dismayed by the long Eisenhower name and simply wrote in Ike"

Sen. Taft Angrily Withdraws From N. J. Primary

WASHINGTON, (R-Sen. Taft announced Thursday he is with drawing from the contest in New Jerseys Republican presidential primary.
 In an angrily worded statement, the Ohio senator said he had been done political dirt by Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll of New Jersey, who has announced for Gen. Eisen- hover.
 Taft said Driscoll waited until after the deadline for formal withdrawal from the April IS pri- mary to abandon a position of neutrality and then had thrown the weight of the New Jersey state Republican organization against Taft and to Eisenhower. Since the dead1ine has passed, Taft's name will remain on the ballot.
 But, Taft said: "I am instruct ing my national committee to withdraw from all activity in my behalf in the state of New Jersey and to close the state headquar- ters there"
 Taft accused Gov. Driscon of having obviously taken steps to corrupt the intent of the prefer ence primary"

Air Force Sets Up Weather Station on Polar Ice Island

THE NORTH POLE, March 20 (AMNS)-The successful landing of an Air Force CAY on a floating island of ice approximately 60 miles from the North Pole was announced today by Maj. Gen. Wm. D. Old, Alaskan Air Com mand.
 This completes the first phase of a small expedition to estab- fish a semi-permanent four-man observing station of the 2107th Air Weather Group at this polar location. The floating ice "island' is irregular in shape with a dia- meter of approximately 2 miles. The surface is relatively flat.
 The expedition is being carried out by Ut. Col. Joseph O. Fletcher. For two years Col. Fletcher com manded the 58th Weather Recon naissance Squadron, famous for its regular nonstop "Ptarmigan" flights to the pole from Eielson Air Force Base.
 Formerly weather data from the Arctic region has been limited to the observations made on al- ternate days by weather recon naissance flights. This station will provide continuous observation and reporting at the surface from an area which vitally affects wea- ther throughout the northern hemisphere.

How To Help The Red Cross

Just about everybody in town is Red Cross volunteer this week and next, helping the na- tional and international organiz- ation with such vital tasks as blood banks, field directors at the army bases, communications with families of servicemen in cases of serious illness, floods, fires, and inspection of prisoner camps. It is a mighty big job, but the eleven women's organizations of Nome committed to womaning the Red Cross booth at the Federal build ing next week to receive contri- buttons, are doing their part. So are the mems organizations who are talking it up at their meet ings, the telephone girls who are putting all the calls in working out the schedules, and the busi- ness houses who are sponsoring the advertising for next weeks drive. The local AFRS will be broadcasting Red Cross stories and information regarding the drive.

Recommends F & WI Get 25 Per Cent of
 PribilOv Is. Revenue

WASHINGTON, (P) - Tn e House Appropriations Committee recommended Friday that the Fish and Wildlife Service be given 25 per cent of the receipts of the Pribilof Islands seal fishery for use in Alaska game law enforce ment.
 On the basis of current Pribilof operations, the committee esti- mated this would mean approxi- mately $8O7,50o.
 In recommending that tn e agency be given a portion of the Pribilof receipts, the committee said it "has, for some time, been aware of the inadequacy of the management and protection pro- gram in Alaska with particular reference to the conservation of salmon resources"
 Because of population increases and the influx of military person nel, the committee reported, "fish- ing and hunting as principal recreation has become no less a problem than the increase in com mercial interests in salmon"
 Appropriations for this purpose have been inadequate to support "a fish and game enforcement staff even as big as is maintained in the state of Rhode Island"

More to Mist!etoe
Than You'd Think

In America the high = hanging
mistletoe is treasured chiefly for
its power to invite. a kiss from a
pretty girl. The bulk of the holiday
decoration comes from the Caro-
linas, Tennessee and the southwest
where ~off-season agricultural work
ers gather the branches for ship
ment throughout the nation.
The white = berried plant also
serves as a winter food supply for
mockingbirds, robins, and wax
wings. These small birds are re-
sponsible for the spread of the
tree-damaging parasite. After eat
ing the berries the birds clean
their beaks on the trees, firmly
planting the mistletoa seeds they
do not eat. The tap root of the
seeding pierces the tenderest por-
tons of the tree-young branches
or buds-and the tree sap is drawn
into the thick leaves and translu-
cent berries of the guest plant.
Though the mistletoe plays the
dual characters of destructive kill
er and promoter of love, supersti-
ton has it that the plant can
switch roles in a twinkle. For in
stance, if the yuletide mistletoe
bough isn't removed from a house
by Candlemass Eve February ID,
each leaf left will produce a goblin
to plague the careless occupants
during the year.

There was no macadam highway
leading from Nazareth to Bethle-
hem when Mary and Joseph unoer
took their memorable journey
nearly 1000 years ago.
AS far as routes were concerned,
there were three. The western
route led along the sea-coast and
through the plain Of Sharon. This
route was unpopular with pious
folk like Mary and Joseph who
summed the heather cities, rowdy
travellers, ETC., as much as posi-
BILE.
The shortest. route, via the fruit
full plains of Esdraelon into the
mountains of Samaria and through
Shechem and Bethel, was not very
popular either. The road was toll
cradle, but steep; however, the
Jews had little use for the Samari-
.tans, and vice versa.
The Jordon route, which de-
scended into the Jordon valley and
followed the rivers east bank
around Jericho, was favored by
the majority of Galilean travellers
who for one reason or another (the
Passover, etc., went down to Jer-
usalem at regular intervals and
knew their way around as well as
suburbanites KIN ow their a y

areas.
If the Jordon route was a little
roundabout, it was fairly level

It is fairly certain that Mary and
Joseph did not choose the western
route when they planned their very
special journey. Whether they
chose to 60 by way Of Shechem
and Bethel, Or around the walled
city Of Jericho may never be de-
termined definitely.
But, the distance - nearly 100
miles-was, in any case, unrelent-
ing and conquered only by per-
sistent plodding. And when Mary
was too tired to 60 another step,
