Charged With
lst Degree Murder

FAIRBANKS, R-In surprise
legal maneuver Mrs. Diane Wells
was arranged and charged with
first degree murder here Wednes-
day night in United States District
Court.
Two attorneys representing her
Immediately moved for a change
of venue, that the Indictment be
dismissed and that the cases
against the two accused parties
be separated.
Mrs. Wells, 31-year- mother,
is charged jointly with Johnny
Warren, Negro drummer and
singer, in the Staying of Cecil
Wells.
The attorneys are seeking a
change Of venue to some other
division of Alaska on grounds
that a fair trial would not be
possible before jury of Fair
banks citizens.
The court continued Mrs. Wells
bond of $4,000.
Attorneys Walter Sczudlo and
Charles Clasby represented Mrs.
Wells. j. Edmund Quigley of Seat
tie, who recently joined the corps
of defense lawyers, was not pre-
sent. Quigley has said he could
not find a single evidence capable
of bringing Mrs. Wells to trial.
Warren, the other defendant, is
under arrest in Oakland, Calf.
Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman has
signed a request to the governor
of California for extradition of
Warren to Alaska to face the
charge against him.

Walter Sharpe testified recently in Juneau that
the 2.7 per cent tax which Alaskan employers have
been paying into the Unemployment Insurance Fund
will not keep the fund solvent, the way it is
being expended.
In five years from 1949 to 1858, up to December
81 1858, this fund will have paid II million dol
lars to unemployed Alaskan workers. Of this amount
six million dollars has been paid to those who
worked in Alaska but who living in the States
when they received their benefits At the rate the
money is now being paid out there will be none left
for bona fide residents should hard times hit the
territory.
This fund is provided entirely by the employers.
Employees pay no part Of it and Alaskan employers
pay the maximum 2.7 per cent, while stateside en-
ployers average IA per cent of every dollar they pay
their employees up to $4,000 per year
1t is time serious consideration be given to the
complex problem before the fund becomes extinct

Undercover FBI Agent
Tells Senate Group GE
Plants Had Communists

BOSTON, PA 53-year-old up
holsterer, who testified he was an
undercover FBI agent while
member Of the Communist Party
since 1941, told Senate investi-
eating subcommittee Thursday he
had worked in a General Electric
plant in Fitchburg, Mass, and that
there were Communist cells there
and in GE plants at Lynn and
Everett, Mass, and Schenectady,
NY.
William H. Teto, of Ashby, Mass,
created a sensation in a televised
hearing conducted by Sen. Nc
earthly when he pointed out a
man in the hearing room as a
Communist member at a Lynn
GE plant.
The man pointed out was Nat
Mills. Mccarthy said Mills re-
fused Wednesday to say whether
he was or was not a Communist.
Mills heatedly refused again
Thursday to give a yes or no an
swer and was removed from the
hearing room with his counsel
after denying he was guilty of
espionage.
Mccarthy said earlier everyone
knows the importance of C E
plants and that he was disturbed
about security precautions that
General Electric is taking.

Peculiar Transportation
Problems of Alaska Steam
Outlined by Skinner

SEATTLE, R- Seattle's pecu-
liar transportation problems were
outlined by DE. Skinner, presi--
dent of the Alaska Steamship
Co., this week.
One of the big problems, Skin
ner said, is a lack of adequate
dock facilities, even at Seward,
where cargo is transferred from
ships to the Alaska Railroad at a
pier that is more than 40 years
old.
"While facilities at Seward are
deteriorating," Skinner said, ''the
volume of cargo is increasing.
Large sums are being spent for
developments in Alaska, but no.
thing on the docks over which
the cargo for those projects must
move"
Another problem cited was the
small amount Of cargo which is
unloaded at small ports.
While 500 tons Of cargo is con-
sidered the minimum that a ship
can unload economically in some
trades, Skinner said, many Alaska
Line voyages go into a port to I'M
load loco Than Inn TONS
But we have to do it to give
the people the service they need
Skinner added. eff we waited I'M
til we had 500 tons of cargo for
some towns, the people would go
three or four months without a
sip"

DEFINING NEEDS

In day when the United States has brought some
criticism itself with its wholly well ntentioned but
not always wisely directed efforts to help peoples
abroad story recently told by President Eisenhower
deserves attention.
Pointing up how good intentions may backfre
when the needs of other peoples not fully under
Stood the President told the American Council Edu-
cation about modern village he found in North Africa
The village was completely empty. The people of
the region had deserted it. refusing to live there.
Why? Running water had been provided in all
the houses the President explained thus deprvng the
women of their small adventure Of going to the village
we'll for water. Since that excursion had given them
their only for leaving their houses and getting
together with their neighbors, the women rebelled.
This is not argument for turning cold shoulder
to the legitimate needs Of Others the President made
clear but for getting educational people and groups Of
all countries to see these problems and get into it
to help.
Being willing to help neighbor in terms Of his
own needs without requiring him to change his ways
to ones appears as the great lesson still to be
learned by many wouldbe helpers whether their field
be social work at home global aid abroad. Such
willingness opens the way for real needs to be defined
and met.

bered that the situation In Korea has been restored
approximately what II in 1850. before the Communist

can solve all remaining prObems-many Of which have
existed since l945 But there reason for optimism
II the conference does not succeed in ironing out
these disputes there need be necessity for undue
mism for further in Korea II will be recalled that
the foreign ministers Of the major powers have held
many conferences on the problems Of divided Germany
and Austria In Of these conferences was any
manent solution worked out.
Nevertheless, the major powers refused 20 TO war

involving military operations could plunge both the Com
