Churchill Refuses Barter
British Businessman For
Communist Girl Guerrilla

LONDON, Up - Prime Minister
Churchill rejected Tuesday a
Communist proposal to barter a
British businessman in Hun
garian prison for Communist
girl guerrilla held by the British
in Malaga.
Churchill told the House of
Commons that members of his
government, after earnest consid-
Grafton, had decided they could
not entertain the proposal ad-
vanced by Hungary's Red regime
The decision blasted the hope
of Mrs. Winifred Sanders whose
husband, Swar, is serving a 10
year prison term on espionage
charges.

George Sanders, Hollywood movie
star, and was formerly associated
in Budapest with Robert V0geler,
an American, in the International
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.
Voge1er and Sanders were tried
on charges of espionage. On Feb.

released after II months in re-
turn for concessions from the us.
government. These included per-
mission to reopen previously
closed Hungarian consulates in
the United States.
The Communists proposed to
trade Sanders for Lee Meng, a
Chinese glamor girl Red whose
death sentence was committed to
life Imprisonment.
Lee Meng was arrested by
British authorities in Malaga and
convicted last summer of carry
ing a hand grenade "a capital
offense under emergency regula-
tons in force in that strife-torn

Communist terrorist campaign in
Malaga.

Senate Approves New
Streamlined Public
Welfare Measure
BY jim HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R - Both branches
of the Alaska legislature met until
l am. Tuesday morning as the
deadline for receiving bills from
each other, and then recessed
until 1870 pm.
The House worked after mid
night with the face of the clock
covered by jacket.
A bill providing fiscal indepen-
dence from school districts, which
was pressed by Third Division
senators, lost out in the Senate
on an 8-8 vote, despite the appeal
of Sen. Gorsuch, that Third Divi-
sioners had supported legislation
for other divisions and should
have support for their own.
The Senate approved on 1873
vote, new Public Welfare bills
which were described as stream
lining department procedures.
The House was still consider
ing its own bills when the Sen
ate closed down for the night
with the admonition that it would
accept no more House bills.
The lower branch passed nu-
merous bills at its night session.
One would raise the amount Of
aid to dependent children to $50
monthly for the mother instead of
the present $50, plus the present
laws $50 for each additional child.
The House also approved a bill
to raise the per diem allowance
for territorial officials and en-
ployes away from home to SIS
daily, but the vote came after
am. and it will require two
thirds vote in the Senate to sus-
pend rules and accept the bill.

Fourth Grade

To establish a keen interest in
everyday arithmetic the fourth
grade boys and girls have a very
temporary grocery store in one
corner of the room. Our groceries
are pictures of commodities all
priced and ready for purchase.
Each child has his turn as clerk
and customer. Real money is used
in the transaction and more than
one article must be purchased.
The youngsters are having little
difficulty with figuring out the
price Of three oranges or apples
at SO much a dozen or the price
Of half pound Of tomatoes, but
with practice we hope to get these
difficulties Strengthened out. The
addition of the two per cent sales
tax was a nuisance at first but it
has now become an accepted fact
and rarely forgotten.
Considerable competition exists
between the girls and boys in
learning their multiplication
tables. Thus far the boys lead
in speed and accuracy with Robt.
Oksoktaruk at the head of the
list. Among the girl Judith All
kolik is almost always the first
one to say, "I'm done"
Irrespective Of how one plans
assignments, there aare always a
few who will finish their work
long before the others. For them,
several books have been made
available and extra credit given
for books read and reported on.
Rodney Boucher has read and
reported on more books than any,
one else in our class.
To get away from the monotony
of making the proper choice be-
tween a and an, good and well,
may and can, or I and me, we
have written real business letters.
Some Of the fourth graders have
ordered things they actually need,
others have written for catalogs
and a few sent letters to travel
agencies for booklets on various
states and countries We hope
these booklets will be Of value
to us in our study of geography.

Manager PerpIexed
BY AK Mines Slump

The Atchison and Keller
Plumbers, who swept four
straight games at the start of the
Departmental League second
half, have gone into a tailspin
and Manager Jack Hoffman is
unable to find a good reason.
II can't put my finger on it, "
Hoffman admitted last night
after his flrst-half champions
lost to Scogna Tailors, 6-5. for
their third straight defeat on
the South Ellipse.
This was our 43d game of
the season. We've had plenty
of experience and we've been
hustling just as much as before
and there is no good reason
why we shouldn't be winning.
Some of our regulars have been
absent but we have a good bench.
so that couldn't be the answer. !"
But Hoffman is still confident
his Plumbers can get back into
the race. "As soon as the ball
starts bouncing our way again,
we'll catch Union Printers" is
his estimation.
Atchison and Keller grabbed
a 81 lead in the first three in
nings off John Grant, who
started on the mound for Scogna.
But the Tailors came back with
three runs in the fourth and
single tallies in the seventh and
eighth as Bobby Liggett pitched
tight relief ball after the third.
On the East Ellipse, Bureau
of Ships didn't show up for its
game with the Philippines and
the forfeit kept the Embassy
team in the running for the
Ellipse League title. Philippines
now has a 4-3 record, trailing
102Oth Air Force Wing CID and
Military Air Transport Service
(6-2) with five games remaining

Lower Court Upheld
In Move 10 Return
Toth From Korea

The u. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia late
yesterday dismissed an appeal
brought by the Government
which sought to Offset a lower
court order to have former Air
Force Sergt. Robert w. 10th,
81, returned to this country from
Korea on a habeaS corpus writ.
In June, Federal Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff issued a habeas
corpus writ ordering the Air
Force to return the former air
man here for a final hear
ing in the habeaS corpus
action. The order was is
sued because 10th was ar
rested by military police in Pitts
burgh last May, as a civilian, and
flown to Korea for the purpose
of standing trial before a court
martial on a charge of murder
ing a Korean civilian. 10th was
accused of taking part in the
murder of the civilian while in
military service, but had been
honorably discharged from the
service last December.
Government counsel filed an
appeal from Judge Holtzoff's or
der which had instructed that
10th be brought here to appear
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia for a
final decision on the habeas
corpus petition.
Counsel for 10th filed a mo-
ton asking that the appeal be
dismissed on grounds that it was
premature; that Judge Holtz-
offs order In the habeaS corpus
action was not final. Toth's at
torneys, in turn, contended in
arguments Thursday that the
lower courts order could not be
final until 10th appears before
the District Court here and is
either released in the habeas
corpus action or ordered turned
over to the authorities.
The Court of Appeals in dis
missing the appeal did not go
into details. It's ruling, how
ever, left the way open for Toth's
return here under Judge Holtz-
offs order.
In his ruling of last month,
Judge Holtzoff declared: There
is no provision of law granting
the military police power to ar
rest a civilian even for the pur-
pose of implementing the mill
tary code"
