Appeals For Help To Identify Reds In Government

WASHINGTON, R-A Senate subcommittee has appealed. to present and former government employees for help in learning ''the identity of the Communists who are presumably still in govern ment."
 The appeal came from the Sen ate Judiciary subcommittee on in- ternal security, which during the past year has been hunting for Communist infiltration of gov ernment agencies extending back 20 years. Sen. Jenner R InO heads the group.
 In a 50-page report summariz- ing what it called "interlocking subversion in government depart ments," the subcommittee de- clared last night:
 ''The Soviet international or ganization has carried on a suc- cessful and important penetration of the United States government, and this penetration has not been fully exposed"
 The report said four or more Soviet espionage rings among government employees have been described by ex-Reds and Soviet espionage rings among govern ment employees and "that only two of these have been exposed"
 The report continued:
 "There is a mass of evidence and information on the hidden Communist conspiracy in govern ment which is still inaccessible to the Federal Bureau of Investiga- ton and to this subcommittee be- cause persons who know the facts of this conspiracy are not coop erating with the security author ities of the country"

Wife Of Former
 Alaska Governor Found Murdered

CHARLESTON, w. Va, R inn Mrs. Walter E. Clark, 59-year-old principal owner of the Charleston Daily Mail, was found shot to death at her home Saturday. Charleston's chief of police said Tt looks like murder"
 Mrs. Clark was the widow of Walter Eli Clark, owner and pub fisher of the Daily Mail from 1914 until his death of heart attack in March of 1850. He was once governor of Alaska.
 Chief of Police Dewey Williams announced his murder theory af- ter an investigation which lasted several hours. He said a search failed to turn up the weapon with which she had been shot.
 There were indications the house had been ransacked. Mo- thing valuable appeared to be missing, however.
 Still asleep in his room when the body was found was Mrs. Clark's young grandson, Jay Alex ander, son of the Clarks' only child, Mrs. Arch J. Alexander.
 Clark was a native of Ashford, Conn. He bought the Daily Mail in 1914 when it virtually was bankrupt and built it into the states largest afternoon daily.
 The woman's late husband, Clark, was appointed governor of Alaska by President Taft in 1909. He held the post until May, 1913.
 Clark had been correspondent for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer at Nome from 1900 to 1904, and continued for the P.-I. as a Wash ington, DC, correspondent until his Alaska appointment.
 Detectives said there were in dication Mrs. Clark had been beaten before she was shot.

Ground Crews Run Down Clues In Search For Lost Oil Man and His Family

KETCHIKAN, R- The search for a New Mexico oil man and four others missing on a flight to the States shifted to islands west and northwest of here today after ground parties washed out what searchers had called their 'fbest clues in five days"
 The ground parties, returning from a trip up Mt. Tamgass and Baldy Mountain near Moira Sound on Prince of Wales Island to Investigate a plane wreckage report, said they found nothing.
 Wreckage sighted Saturday night near Stewart, B.C., was be- lieved to be that of plane in which bush pilot John Peterson of Telegraph Creek, B.C., was lost late last week.
 Both reports were checked by searchers hunting Ellis Hall, Al buquerque oilman, who disap- peared a week ago today after taking off from Annettee Island airport with his wife, two daugh- ters and 17-year-old Patrick Hib- ben, on a flight to Bellingham, Wash.

Interior Dept. To Buy Little Eklutna Power Plant

ANCHORAGE, R- Anchorage city officials and the US. Depart ment of the Interior have signed an agreement for sale of the city's Little Eklutna power project to the government - and have de- vised method for paying off the deal.
 Not a dollar will change hands under the contract - which still must be approved by the voters in an October election. Instead of money, the government will pay with volts, furnishing the city with power until Oct. 12, 1870 at a rate equivalent to that of the city's current cost of power pro- duction.
 The contract calls for abolition of the Anchorage public utilities commission and other municipal offices now handling the utility. Immediate transfer to the govern ment is provided for if the voters approve the deal.

Shah of Iran Reports His Treasury ''Is Very Empty

TERRAIN, Iran, LR - Official sources announced today police have transferred ex-Premier Mo- hammed Mossadegh from the comfortable quarters of the Teh- ran Officers Club to a jail cell.
 Mossadegh, clad in pajamas, surrendered last week after a bloody coup by supporters of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi took over the government he had refused to relinquish.
 The willy and weepy old Ma tionalist leader was interned in the plush officers club to await trial, possibly on charges of trea- son for refusing to obey the Shah's order a week ago to hand the premiership over to Gen. Fa- zollah Zahedi.
 Following Mossadegh's initial success in baking the royal or der to get out, the Shah and his queen flew to a brief exile.
 The Iranian ruler returned after Zahedi last week led the royalist coup that finally led to Mossa- degh's downfall. But, even with Mossadegh a prisoner, the new Zahedi governments troubles are not over.
 Small, scattered pro Mossa- deghs uprising still were reported in outlying sections of the country and the Shah told newsmen at a palace garden party yesterday his nations treasury lis very empty"

Details of $40 Million 6l5-Mile Oil Pipeline from Haines-tO-Fa Fairbanks
 Announced By Alaska Engineers

District Corps of Engineers an- nounced details Saturday of the 615 mile Haines-to- to-Fairbanks oil pipeline, estimated to cost 40 mil lion dollars.
 The project will be advertised for bids Aug. 29, with the bid opening set for Oct. IA. It is a complete petroleum products pipeline system starting at Haines and will be interior Alaska's sup ply line for fueling planes, trans ports and machines at military installations and air bases.
 The general route of the line will be by way of the Haines cutoff and the Alaska Highway, passing through 284 miles of western Canada.
 The work involved in the big job includes furnishing and lay ing of 615 miles of 858 inch welded steel pipeline; construc- ton of an oil terminal wharf at Haines; construction of five pumping stations, all complete with utilities, terminal facilities near Fairbanks; two intermediate take-off facilities and two tank farms. Three of the pumping sta tions are to be located in Canada.
 The line and its 50-foot right of-way will cross mountains, riv- CTS, canyons and miles of open land.
 Much of it's length will parallel the Alaska Highway passing with in sight of the 14,OO0 to 16,OO0- foot peaks of the St. Elias and Wrangell Mountain ranges.
 At Kluane Lake, north of Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon Territory, the line will make an 8-and-one-half mile crossing of the 29O-foot deep lake.
 At some major stream crossings the pipeline will use permanent highway bridges to ford the streams. Long stretches of the line must be laid on permafrost, the permanently frozen earth of the Arctci.
 Approximately 435 miles will be surface-laid and 180 miles buried. The pipeline and it's facil- ities is scheduled for completion in September 1855.
 Since the route crosses 284 miles of Canadian territory, nego- tiations with the Canadian gov ernment were necessary.
 Pipeline construction in tn e sub-Arctic is still a novel type of undertaking, although there are precedents. Early in World War II, group of three to six inch lines, called the Canol Lines, was built to tap Arctic oil fields in Canada.
 An estimated 42,OOO tons of pipe will be needed. Plans, speci- fications and bid forms will be available to prospective bidders on the project after the advertis- ing date of Aug. 29. The job is open to contractors in the United Ctotoc and ConoJo fo,, n;IJ;pC

Only Scattered Strikers
Left in French Industry
By the Assoeiated Press

PARIS, Aug. 27.-French gas
and electricity workers and coal
miners ended their strikes and
resumed work today. Scattered
walkouts in private industries
were left as practically the only
remaining signs of the big strike
movement.
Both Communist and non
Communist unions told the min
ers and gas and electricity
workers to go back. These were
the last two big nationalized
areas affected and the unions
apparently felt that nothing was
to be gained by the isolated ac-
tion.
Some workers were still out
in building trades, chemical in
dustrieS, textile plants and metal
working plants. Most of these
strikes were in the provinces
and held to no pattern, either
by regions or by industries.
The Communicated union of
Tunisian workers called a "a
hour strike in Tunis to press
demands for wage increases.
Nom Communist unions did not
follow suit. Street car service
there was reduced but not halt
ed. Water, gas and electricity
service continued normally.

On Living Cost Rise;
Humphrey Disagrees

Conflicting views on the effect
administration policies have had
on the cost of living were on
record today from Secretary of
the Treasury Humphrey and CIO
President Walter P. Reuther.
Their statements were a sequel
to the announcement yesterday
that the Bureau of Labor StatiS-
tics living cost index has reached
a new high record for the second
straight month.
Mr.. Humphrey said, however,
that the sound money policy of
the Eisenhower administration
has brought about a leveling off
in the cost of living.
He said the BIS index meant
"only one-half of l per cent rise
in the cost of living in a whole
year and that indicates a very
definite leveling off,"
The index rise of two-tenths
Of per cent in a month gave
about l million auto industry
workers a 1-cent hourly wage in
crease. Their pay is geared to
the index for quarterly adjust
nlents according to living cost
changes.
Mr.. Reuther, who also is presi-
dent of the United Auto Work.
ers, blamed the record living
costs on what he termed the
Republican Party's failure ito
fulfill its campaign pledge to
curb imitation"
In a statement issued in De-
troit, Mr.. Reuther said:
THE latest inflationary surge
comes at a time when the direct
and indirect military defense de-
mands are starting to taper of.
1t makes even greater the dan
ger OF a snowballing deflation
when the full impact of reduced
defense expenditures is felt.
I'VE need a substantial in
crease in consumer buying power
in the pockets of millions of
families who have untitled needs
If we are to absorb the growing
output of our rapidly expanding
productive capacity and to take
up the slack that will result from
reduced defense production.
Sound tax and wage policies de-
signed to maximize mass con-
sumption by low income families
must be developed without de-
lay if the present inf1ationary
spiral is not to be replaced by
disastrous def1ationary spiral"
