Russian Tanks Rushed To Polish Border to Guard Against Threatened Unrest

BERLIN, LR - Russian tanks were rushed from East Berlin to the Polish border to stand guard against threatening unrest among the Poles, the US. State Depart ment newspaper Neue Zeitung re- ported Friday.
 Western Allied authorities con- firmed that a tank unit which had been sent into East Berlin to quell the June IT workers revolt was withdrawn fin a northeast erly direction" in the early hours Thursday. But there was no off cial confirmation that the tanks had gone to Poland.
 Neue Zeitung said Polish under ground fighters reported 900 yard-wide strip has been cleared along the Polish-Russian frontier, and this area is patrolled day and night by Russian troops with bloodhounds.
 These reports bolstered rumors which have been leaking into West Berlin for days that there is considerable unrest in Poland.

Kodiak Volcano Active Again

KODIAK, R-Renewed volcan- ic action in two mountains in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes was reported Wednesday by Navy flyers investigating reports that smoke, dust and ash were reduc- ing visibility in the region.
 One of the volcanoes, Mt. Fri dent, erupted in February, cover ing adjacent valleys with ash. The flyers said the other cone which appears to be more active than usual is Mt. Magiek. Both craters are believed to be about mile high and are approximately 300 miles southwest of Anchorage.
 The Navy flyers said Mt. Fri dent appeared to have "a swollen mound in the eruption area near the top, approximately one-half mile wide and steaming from sev- eral Assures"
 The mound was ringed by con- centric circles and it appeared that lava had flowed over from the crater and down the side, cooling into the rings as it built up the mound. The center of the mound was described as glowing a bright red with a yellowish green colored substance lying near its base on the south side.

Mystery of Vanished Plane Crash Survivors Remains UnsOlved

HALIFAX, N.S., R-Did two Americans survive the crash of their civilian plane and then per ish in the Labrador wilds while trying to walk to civilization, or are they living with a remote In dian or Eskimo tribe?
 A 10-man RCAF ground party is attempting to find the answer in the desolate scrub country 90 miles SEE. of Goose Bay, Lab radon where a twin-engine Beech craft crashed Oct. 16 on a flight from New York to Goose Bay.
 The bodies of its two crew members, Francis Mclaughlin of North Hollywood, Calif., and J. Kurtz of Brooklyn, NY, were not found in the wreckage, reached Tuesday by a ground party after a days searching for trail the men may have taken.
 A baggage tag bearing Nc Laughlin's name, a piece of can vas and some filny wrapping found half-mile from the crash scene indicated the fliers may have walked away from the crash.

West German Parliament Refuses Repayment of Debts to France

BONN, R-The West German parliament Tuesday refused to ap- prove repayment of German debts to France because the French had cheated" the Germans through economic explorations during the postwar occupation.
 In bitter burst of anti-French sentiment, the Bundestag flower house. rejected a bill providing repayment to France of $11,840,- 900 under the 18-nation London Debts Agreement signed last Feb ruary. The vote was 148 to 1855, with Is deputies abstaining.
 It was the sharpest anti-French action ever taken by the four year-old parliament.
 It followed by few hours bit ter attacks against the French over the disputed Saar territory Numerous speaker accused the French of tearing away this coal rich territory from Germany and virtually annexing it in violation of international agreements.

Fire Hazard Closes 26,OOO- Acres Alaska Forest

ANCHORAGE, R-The Bureau of Land Management Forest Div ision Wednesday closed 26,500 acres of forest land along the Glenn Highway north of Anchor age to entry or use by the public because of the extreme fire dan ger.
 The ban will remain in effect until Sept. 30 or the first soaking rain, with only area workers or residents allowed in the acreage.
 At the same time, the Alaska Road Commission announced that the Sterling Highway on Kenai Peninsula is open to trucks but not passenger vehicles that cannot ford flooded roads.

Nurses Make Trip Over International Dateline

The Maynard -McDougall Mem orial Hospital was well represent ed on a flight over Information al Dateline on July l. Hazel Han sen, Eleanor Holm, Mrs. Anna White, Carol Cooper, Margaret freddie and MT. and Mrs. George R. Goshaw enjoyed the flight aboard Pilot o. w. Tosch's Grum- man Goose out of Nome Field, over Boring Sea to King Island.
 Tosch circled the island twice so that those aboard could take pictures of the rocks atops the island and homes clinging to the steep cliffs. From King, the plane headed westward toward Bering Straits and the Diomede Islands.
 First to be seen from miles away was bleak Fairway Rock, alone in the tossing waters of Boring Straits. To the right, on the north westernmost land-end of North America, was Cape Mountain, and at waters edge, the Eskimo vil- lage of Wales. To the left and westward, beneath low hanging clouds, was Siberia of red Russia, once a place to visit and to trade, but now behind the iron curtain and closed to friendliness of our country.
 On the Little Diomede side, it was Wednesday evening - west ward on Big Diomede, it was Thursday evening. It is only here at this n-between-two- continents, between two oceans, that We'd nesday joins with Thursday, where one can safely view so great a natural wonder. A more interesting trip cannot be found Ii one desires to see the unusual"
 Turning again toward the main land and getting closer to Cape Prince of Wales, several ocean going vessels could be seen - Tin City - roads and an airfield - a landing craft against the beach.

 The nurses were enthusiastic over the whole trip and especially of seeing the thousands of birds on the Islands.

Chonqinq Color TV Picture

The time is approaching for reconsidera-
ton by the Federal Communications Commits
sion of its premature decision in favor of
homeopathic system of color television. That
the decision was premature is proved by the
accumulating evidence that a compatible sys-
tenn is about ready for production by the televi-
sion industry-provided the FEC gives it's
approval Even the Columbia Broadcasting
System, whose homeopathic method won the
original FEC decision, has capitulated to the
induStrys overwhelming demands for a color
system that can be received in black -and-white
tones on today's TV sets without necessity OF
expensive adjustments.
The Supreme Court, which upheld the
FCC's right to adopt CHS homeopathic
standards for color television, conceded that
compatibility with existing receivers was de-
sirable. But the FEC, in an effort to bring
color TV to the public before it invested too
much money in black-and-white sets, became
impatient with the delays in perfecting an
electronic, compatible receiver and pumped
for the CHS field sequential" system, with its
spinning color disc. CHS began experimental
broadcaSts, which admittedly were good, but
war-material shortages brought developments
to StandStill. This hiatus probably was for
tunate for in the meantime the television in
dustry formed committee to speed perfection
of a compatible, electronic-tube system that
would compel the FEC to change its mind.

Standby Controls

Bernard Baruch has made strong argu-
ment in favor of standby economic controls,
his principal point being that another war; if
it comes, is likely to take the form Of a vastly
bigger Pearl Harbor in the heart of America.
In that situation the need for adequate con-
trolls would be immediate. We could not afford
to wait the six months or more that would be
needed to enact the necessary legislation and
get it into operation.
Common sense seems to be on the side of
this point of view. 1t would be important, Of
course, to make sure that a standby controls
program would be just that-a standby pro-
gram 1t should become applicable only in
event of war or officially proclaimed national
emergency. There is no reason, however, why
this cannot be spelled out in the legislation.
And with this safeguard in effect 1t certainly
would be safer to have ready the best program
that can be written in advance than to have
no program. A great deal of today's imitation
is traceable to the fact that firm controls did
not go into effect when World War II and the
Korean war began.

and dictatorship be termed freedom as
long as they are not exercised by the
Kremlin? Mr.. Brown is ambiguous on
all these essential points.
The people and the governments Of
the satellite countries are not one, but
enemies to each other. It is the people,
not the governments, of Bulgaria,
Romania and Hungary, as well as Of
all other satellite countries, who are
oppressed. The people are against
communism, the governments are COM
munistic. Thus, they are not allies
against the Kremlin, but the satellite
governments are allied with the Krem-
lin against the peoples of Bulgaria,
Romania, Hungary. etc.

West. Tito has not succeeded in win

Shining example" to other oppressed
peoples? The people in Yugoslavia do
not want Tito instead of Malenkov.
They want freedom instead Of both
Malenkov and Tito. The same is true
of all oppressed peoples. They will
never accept the offer to have Tito
instead of freedom.
If Tito be our hope in the Balkans.
or anywhere else, then the cause of
freedom is hopelessly lost.

Dear Sir:
This morning observed a pair Of

would like to check with you.
THE most distinguishing marking
was roseate tan upper breast with
splotch of red on the top of the head.
They were Streaked or splotched with
brown spots on the lower breast. They
were about the same size as juncos,
feeding with them though not as plump
breasted.
Consulting my birdie guide, the
closest Identification could make was
the common redpoll.

So is this bird indigenous to this area
at this time Of year?
Sincerely. H. R. c."
Numerous redpolls have been seen this
winter in New York and New Jersey;
few have come to the local area.
A shortage of pine cones, their usual
food, is said to have driven them from
Canada. The seeds in the cones are
their main food.
Other birds not usual in this vicinity,
but seen this winter. are the pine gros-
beak, the white-winged crossbiu and

Woshinqton's Crime Peak

The annual report of the Washington
Criminal Justice Association reveals that crime
reached an all-time peak here last year And
the report also reveals some of the reasons
for this disturbing increase in lawlessneSs
The association believes that inadequate police
strength was one of the major causes. But it
believes that Sterner punishment of those who
are caught-especialy criminals with arms
would help to make crime improbable in the
Nations Capital.
After study of the local situation, the
association decided that the Metropolitan
Police Force is doing good job with the men
1t has. A tabulation of cases showed that the
local department has "a high rate of solution
in most offense categorieS when compared with
that of other urban communities" The num-
ber of arrests for all causes in 1852 rose by
about 700 over the total for 1851, despite Chief
MurrayS difficulties in trying to spread his
undermanned force to the best advantage
The force today consists of 2O60 policemen, of
which 1'404 are assigned to patrol duty. Be-
cause of workday and workWeek limitations
and attrition due to illness, leave, etc., the
actual number available for patrolling beats
each day is about 250-divided into three shifts
around the clock. The WCJA recommends a
minimum strength of $500 men for the Wash
ington force, with pay and other benefits suf-
The association is justi1ably worried over
the large number of aggravated assaults in
the District. These are assaults involving use
of guns, switch-blade knives, bludgeons of
various kinds and other weapons Even allow
ing for the fact that the local police include in
this category many attacks listed in less serious
classifcations by other cities, the number of
armed assaults in this city last year was truly
alarming Aggravated assaults increased from
4,309 in 1851 to 4,608 in 1852. Housebreakngs
and juvenile offenSes also rose sharply. In this
connection the association indicated its concern
over the great number" of aggravated as
SaultS which are dismissed, nol-prosSed or
reduced to simple assaults. The report COM
mented Succinctly: 1T is the consensus of the
association that persons possessing dangerous
weapons should be dealt with severely when
involved in cases of assault. 1t is only by
chance that many of these cases do not result
in serious injury, mutilation or murder"
The associations report was prepared be-
fore The Star published its recent series of
articles disclosing the prevalence of the prac-
tice of prosecuting repeaterS on only one or
few of a multiplicity of charges. The series
provides ample evidence to support the associ-
atoms belief that hardened and dangerous
criminals should be dealt with severely" The
record shows that they have been having
things too easy at the hands of local proSecu
tors and judges
