Christmas Seal graphically DOT trays the spirit of the Christmas season. The happiness of our children is the purpose underly- ing all our holiday preparations. In large sense, it is the pur- pose behind all our plans for the future welfare of this communi- ty.
 The shadow of tuberculosis aims the smiles of too many chill dren in Alaska. When TB strikes in home, it often means that child is bereft for long per- iod of the love and care of a parent. It may mean grave if nancial difficulties which can permanently affect his future. Even worse, the child may con tract the disease and the dread tuberculosis meningitis may de velop.
 Among teen-agers TB is more common. It kills more young people between the ages of Is and 35 than any other disease. It can and does kill at any age.
 Modern knowledge about TB has drastically cut the number of deaths from the disease, and the death rate will continue to drop as scientific research learns ever better ways of treating TB. However, we are not fighting the spread of the disease and preventing the development of new cases as successfully as we are fighting death. Even when we prevent death from TB, even when the disease is cured, there are after-effects which some victims carry with them for the rest of their lives. This IS a constant, costly drain on our human resources.
 The Alaska Tuberculosis As sociation is working constantly to protect the future of our chil- dren. Its four-point program in cludes health education, case finding, rehabilitation, and med ical research. Christmas presents each one of us with an oppor- tunity to support this program actively. The Christmas Seal Sale is the only source of funds to carry on and expand the work of the association.
 Tuberculosis can be defeated. Now is the time for each one of us to do his share. Now is the time to buy and use Christmas Seals.

Senator Says A-War Curbs
Could Brinq Little Korea

Senator Smathers, Democrat,
of Florida, warned yesterday
that a reported Pentagon plan to
limit the use of atomic weapons
would practically invite Russia
to open fringe wars" involving
the United States.
He referred to a story in The
Star last week that Defense De-
partment authorities believe this
country should limit atomic
weapons to attacks on enemy
troop concentrations and supply
points in the event of aggression
against areas of the fringe type,
such as Korea.
"This is virtually an invita-
ton for the opening of another
little Korea and a promise that
we would fight such a fringe war
in fringe manner" the Florida
Senator declared. "It is the an
nouncement of an intention to
throw our men and money into
a stalemate."
Senator Smathers said he IA
vored the development of tacti-
cal weapons for use against any
enemy military forces. But there
should be no let-down in the
use of atomic weapons for stra-
tegic purposes, and no policy of
merely fighting exhibitions" he
added.

Mrs. Reuter- Assists
In Giving U. 5. Butter
To Needy Of Berlin
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Oct. 24.-Mrs. Ernst
Reuter-, a tiny figure in black,
began the distribution late to-
day of a million pounds of free
American butter to the needy
OF Berlin.
The widow of the Lord Mayor
stood beside table stacked with
half-pound packages marked
Gift of the American People
Through the Mayor Reuter-
Foundation and the Information
al Rescue Committee
A blind, white haired woman
was the first in line. Then came
other blind, war-maimed, inva-
lids and old-age pensioners.
Mrs. Reuter- smiled warmly at
each.
Eight hundred persons re-
ceived butter at the symbolic
opening of the distribution in
a municipal auditorium - the
vanguard of 47O,000 on West
Berlin welfare and unemployed
rolls. Thousands of needy from
the Soviet sector will be helped
later.
From U. S. Surplus.
The hTtter is from limited
States Government surplus
stocks. Shipping charges to
Berlin were paid by private
American donations. Mayor
Reuter- had suggested the gift
in August, a month before he
died.
Otto Bach, West Berlin sena-
tor for social welfare and chair
man of the Reuter- Foundation,
said the butter sis not only of
material worth but political sig
nificance, because Berliners who
never weakened in the Soviet
blockade and whose city has
been strangled for years, thus
receive aid from the free world
and particularly their friends in
the United States"
Leo Cherne, American chair
man of the international Rescue
Committee, assured Berliners:
1--WE will always stand by you"
Conant Voices Hope.
Today was a day dedicated to
American-German friendship,
starting off with ceremonies in
the city parliament for the third
anniversary of the freedom bell.

people of the Soviet zone to Hold
out, freedom cannot be denied
forever" United States High
Commissioner James B. Conant

Parliament President Otto
Suhr noted that West Berlin has
received more than $500 million
in American aid since 1948, when
the Russians tried to starve out
the city
The United States Government
radio station, RIAS, reported to-
night that the Soviet zone regime
has prepared general cut in
food and consumer goods prices
effective next week.
RIAS said the Communists had
planned the price slashing just
before Christmas, but are rush
ing it because of widespread dis
content among East German
workers over new forced increases
in their production quotas.

Their toll revenue will back the
harbor tunnel project.
The tunnel itself, Mr.. Mccain
said, will comprise two tubes,
each containing a one-way. two
lane road deck. The tunnel Sec
tionS will be built-in "drydock,'
and lowered into prepared river
bed trenches.
Opening of the Laurel Race
Track meet this week, mean
while, will give opened portions
of the Baltimore Washington
parkway a real workout.
Actually, another 3.2-mile sec
ton of the Federal portion, from
the Laurel-Fort Meade road
south to the Laurel-BoWie road,
is already completed. Previously,
it was expected this also would
be opened this week.
Park officials are in no hurry,
however, since Baltimore bound
access from Route / will be via
the Laurel-Fort Meade route for
some time to come. The officials
limited they may open the sec
tion for the convenience of Bal
timoreans, however, when Lau-
rel's track meet begins next
month.
Contracts for ! Miles.
South of the Laurel-Bow
road, Federal officials have just
let paving contracts for a 7-mile
stretch. Another 3-mile portion
from Good Luck road to the De-
fense highway (Route 50), is
about paved. But it can't be used
until the 7-mile gap is finished.
Eventually, the parkway north
east of Washington will feed into
a gigantic Kenilworth inter-
change. along with the Annap-
oils freeway (noW built from
Annapolis to the Grain highway,
Route BOD, and Kenilworth
avenue extended. Kenilworth
avenue, in turn, will be the main
approach to the Potomac Rivers
new East Capitol Street Bridge,
also under construction.
Still Use For Route /.
Officials are cagey about try
ing to predict exactly what will
happen to Route / when the
parkway is completed. Near the
Baltimore city limit, Route l now
carries about 29,10O vehicles a
day.
One official State estimate is
that IS per cent of the Route /
traffic will shift initially to the
parkway. This would put a VOL
ume of about 10000 cars on the
parkway.
Since trucks are barred from
the Federal section, most officials
believe truckers will stick with
Route /. The initial drop in
passenger-car traffic will make it
doubly attractive to trucks.
Officials, however, don't hear
any death rattles coming from
"Old Bloody" They believe in
creasing industrial and CONNER
cial employment centers along
Route /, plus residential expan-
sion and the normal increase in
auto use, will keep it in business
for a long time to come.
