Tunnel Blasted
 Through In Giant Canadian Project

REMAND, B.C., R - A dyna- mite blast deep in the heart of a mountain Thursday completed the main artery of giant power proj- ect which will generate electricity for the Aluminium Company of Canada development at Kitrnat.
 The blast, fired by Alcan vice president McNeely DuBose shat tered the final barrier of a 1O- mile tunnel through the solid rock of the Coast Range.
 It marked the end of 21 months work, 24 hours a day, six days a week, to drive the tunnel through Mount DuBose.
 The job, which entailed remov- ing 2,30O,0OO tons of rock, was completed right on schedule. Nu- merous world records for tunnel ling were set by drilling and blast ing crews.
 The accomplishment was de scribed by Alcan officials as a major step" toward completion of the vast Project British Col umbia" which eventually will cost more than $500,000,000.
 The first aluminium ingots are scheduled to be loaded aboard deep sea ships for world markets late in the spring. Annual produc- ton has been estimated at 83,000 metric tons.
 The pouring of concrete floor ing throughout the entire length and lining of some soft sections, is all that remains to complete the tunnel job..
 None of the tunnel work was done by the old-fashioned pick and shovel method. Heavy ma- chinery, valued at $25, 100000, did everything.

Police Quell Violence On Frisco Waterfront

SAN FRANCISCO, R - Extra police were on watch for possible further violence Friday at the dock of the steamer Aleutian. There were two bitter nareups Thursday between rival water front unions.
 Nine men were injured and five were arrested in the bloody fights, which were halted in a drizzling rain by armed police with riot guns and tear gas.
 Twenty policemen from outly- ing precincts stood by in case o1 repercussions of trouble between 1,4O0 members of Harry Lund- berg's AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific, and the independent Ma tional Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards backed by Bridges.
 Superior Judge Preston J. De vine issued an injunction at the request of the Hawaii & Pacific Line, which is chartering the Aleutian, limiting pickets to five men of each union.
 The court also forbade more than four AFL men from assem- ply near the picket line.
 Thursday afternoon AFL mem bers maSsed at their union hall near the Bay Bridge and began a march toward the Aleutian two and half miles away.
 Rain was coming down in g steady drizzle as the marchers slogged along in ponderous mass, 20 to 30 abreast.
 Some of the marchers made nc effort to conceal their weapons which varied from baseball bats rolled in newspapers, to pieces o1 2 by 4 timbers and lengths o1 chain.
 When the marchers hit the p0- lice line, the union men surgec forward for a moment, but the police held. Another brief rush and night sticks and timbers came into play.

Alaska SS Co. To Cut Passenger
 Sailings In Half

SEATTLE, R - The Alaska Steamship Co. will slash it's win ter passenger service 50 per cent with the new year to its lowest level since 1895.
 The company will remove the S.S. Denali from service on Jan. 1, general passenger agent H. N. Peterson announced Thursday and reduce sailings from once week to once every other week.
 The curtailment lowers Alaska ocean passenger service out of Seattle to it's lowest point since before the gold rush of 1898, Peterson said.
 Under the new schedule, the Denali and Baranof will maintain weekly service through 1853. No passenger vessel will sail from Seattle Friday, January 1. Jan-  uary the Baranof will begin her new routine of departures every other Friday for Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau and Seward.
 With the February 19 voyage, Wrangeu will be added as north bound port of call, and weekly service will resume in April.
 Meanwhile, the company an- nounced, it will add enough freighters to it's schedule to give weekly cargo service to both southeastern and southwestern Alaska.

Big Three Arrive In Bermuda
 For History-Making Conference

} FUCKERS TOWN, Bermuda, R President Eisenhower arrived in Bermuda Friday for the start of history-making Big Three confer ence with Prime Minister Church ill and French Premier Laniel.
 The Presidential plane Colum- bine landed at American-leased Kindley Field.
 Waiting to greet Eisenhower as he stepped from the plane were Churchill and Laniel, together with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and French For eign Minister Georges Bidault.
 A crowd of about 2,00O was on hand to welcome Eisenhower. Al so present was a colorful honor guard made up of Royal Welsh Fusilieres, Bermuda militia and US. airmen.
 Eisenhower stepped off the plane promptly and was greeted by Bermuda Governor Sir Alex ander Hood and Mrs. Hood, fol- lowed by the commanders of the military units drawn up to receive him.
 The President then walked a few steps and was met by Church ill, who gave him hearty hand shake. The crowd of Bermudans and Big Three conference officials cheered.
 In the Presidential party were Secretary of State Dulles and Lewis Strauss, chairman of the US. Atomic Energy Commission. Strauss was added to the party at the last minute this morning.
 The colorful reception ceremon- ies contrasted sharply with the sombre questions facing the con- ference.
 Churchill earlier had been be- lieved eager to press his pet scheme for a quick meeting with Premier Georgi Malenkov. Now, however, it seems obvious that the American desire to give priority to pressuring the French for rati- fication of the European Army treaty dominates.

Diane Wells May Be Allowed Leave Alaska On s, ,000 Additional Bond

FAIRBANKS, R-The possibil- ity arose Wednesday that Diane Wells would be permitted to post additional bond and leave Alaska for the states.
 Her attorney, Walter Sczudlo, said Judge Harry Pratt had ag- reed tentatively to allow Mrs. Wells to go if $5,O00 additional bond is posted.
 Permission was sought for Mrs. Wells to leave Alaska when it was learned the case cannot be heard until Febrauary at the earliest. The delay is forced by crowded Federal court docket.
 Her co-defendant on the mur- der of Cecil Wells, Johnny War ren, Negro jazz drummer, also is free on $5,OOO bond.
 Warren's attorney, Everett Hepp, said he will press for a separation of the charges against his client and Mrs. Wells. Sczudlo has filed a request for a change of venue.
 The district attorney has argued against separation of the charges on the contention that such a move would force the govern ment to accuse a specific person as the actual slayer, which he said the prosecution is not pre- pared to do.

cleaning. fluid and lignathol.
First remove all hardware.
Then apply remover-allow to
stand a while. then remove old
finish with your scraper doing
a small section at time.
After all old finish is removed
you can wash away action OF
the remover with cleaning
fluid or use full force of water
from your garden hose. Either
one will kill the action of the
paint remover.
After all old finish is re-
moved, allow to dry. Then
sand with Sandpaper until very
smooth to the touch. Then
use the steel wool to obtain
even smoother finish. AS the
last step apply lignatnol with
a paint brush, applying with
the grain of the wood This is
called the satin finish. it will
never show finger prints and
is a beautiful finish for antique
furniture.
] have finished three antique
pieces in this manner and have
been told they look like they
have been done by profess
SionalS.
It takes a lot of work and
elbow grease-but the finished
product will be well worth the
effort. If you prefer a high
gloss you can use any good
grade varnish as your last step
instead of the lignathol.

PREPARING ARTICHOKES.

MRS. F. M, Bethesda
This is in reply to Mrs. T. M.
o., Washington. hope it viii
prove to be what she wants.
I am an Englishwoman mar
ried to an Italian and he mas
helped me to graduate from
the boiled brussels sprouts,
boiled cabbage, boiled mutton
phase of cookery, by teaching
me all sorts of subtle tricks
with herbs and spices, in the
Italian manner.
This is how he taught me to
prepare artichokes. Cut of
the stem of the artichokes, so
that the artichoke will stand
upright. Pare the stem and, If
it is very thick, slice it through
the middle. Invert the arti-
choke and press down on it so
that the leaves open or sepa-
rate. Turn upright again erd
between the leaves insert sliv-
ers of anchovy fillets and strips
of Italian cheese, not between
every two leaves, but fairly
thickly throughout.
You can pour the oil from
the anchovies over the arti-
chokes, or, if this will be too
salty and fiShy, pour some
pure olive Oil over, so that it
seeps among the leaves. Stand
the artichokes upright in a
kettle or saucepan, deep
enough so the lid will fit
tightly. Pour about an inch
of water into the saucepan,
not over the artichokes but at
the side, cover tightly and
steam. I forgot to say that
the pieces of stem should be
put into the saucepan, in the
water. It is difficult to set
period for the steaming, but
when the stems are tender to
q fork and you can pull one of
the outer leaves loose easily
from the artichoke, they are
done. My husband likes them
"as is" without any other
sauce, but he likes to drink
the water that remains, as he
says it is very delicately flaw
ored by the anchovies and
cheese. The hearts, when the
"chokes" are carefully re-
moved, are wonderfully deli
cate. I don't like the trouble
of eating an artichoke myself,
but my spouse always hands
me part of the heart, as a
bonne bouche, the way you
give a pet dog a titbit! I hope
this will turn out to be what
the reader wants.

Over Half Of Sets
Are in NILS Area,
u. ). Witness SAYS
By the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. "A
Federal statistician testified that
SO per cent of the Nations tele-
vision sets are owned by persons
living within so miles of cities
where a National Football
League franchise is located.
Joseph Futoran, a statistician
for the Antitrust Division of the
Justice Department, gave the
testimony yesterday in the Gov
ernment's suit against the
league.
The Government charges the
league violated the Sherman
antitrust law by restricting the
telecasting and broadcasting Of
its league games.
Futoran termed his estimate
of the sets within the 60-mile
radius of the IL NFL teams as
conservative. He said there are
now $4,000 TV sets within the
territory of the Philadelphia
Eagles alone.
Another witness, Robert Nor
ris Pierce. told Judge Allan K.
Grim that he was denied per-
mission to broadcast a pro game
on Thanksgiving Day, 1850.
Pierce, president of WDOK,
radio station in Cleveland,
said the permission was denied
even though the Cleveland team
was not playing anywhere on
that particular date.
Pierce said he. ran into the
leagues ban on another occa-
sion when he asked if his sta
ton could broadcast the Los
Angeles-Chicago Bears game on
December II, 1850. On that
day, Pierce said, Cleveland
played at home, but he said he
told NFL officials he would not
start the broadcast until the
Browns game was ended. New
ertheless, he testified, he was
denied permission.

who twice gave the Colonials a

stood out. He finally fouled out
with seconds remaining. His
point production was II, two less
than Walt .Devlin, but scoring
was only one of his assets.
Reinhart was asked why John
Holup spent over half Of the
game on the bench. when Ed
die Yost is hitting .125 they keep
him in the lineup" Reinhart
said, but I don't believe in that
theory. If my big guy isn't hit
ting, take him out of there be-
cause he's not doing us any good
in the game"
Reinhart couldn't figure why
his team was supposed to win.
Maryland had lost one game
in the conference and that was
to North Carolina at Chapel Hill
after a three-week layoff." he
said. 1T was the only team to
beat Carolina. (That was before
Bill knew the Tar Heels lost in
Richmond last night.) 1T beat
West Virginia, which beat us,
