WASHINGTON, R-Two refu- gees from Soviet Russia and a former American Communist tes- tified today a document used in training US. Army intelligence officers is strongly slanted in favor of Russian communism.
 The testimony, concerning an Army prepared report called Psychological and Cultural Traits in Soviet Russia," was given to the Senate investigations subcom- mittee headed by Sen. Mccarthy.
 Igor Bogelpeov, who described himself as a former Soviet diplo- mat now under death sentence by the Russian Red regime, said the 75-page book contains "a lot of deliberate transformation that serves the interests of the Com munist cause"
 Another ex-citizen of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Petrov of the Yale University faculty, said the book is ''extremely biased' in favor of Russian communism and definitely harmful as a manual for training US. intelligence of ficers.
 Going still farther, Louis F.. Budenz, one-time US. Commun- ist leader and later a frequent wit ness against his former associates, called the manual "the work of concealed Communist"
 The document has been a point of hot controversy between Me Carthy and the Army.

 However, the commission spokesman declared:
 "As far as the commission is concerned, they have not indulged in propaganda for any side"
 The spokesman added that the letter was broadcast as well as circulated among the prisoners as "a joint effort Y. prepared by a subcommittee of the commis- sion and all nations were repre- sented."

Official Report Cites Congestion of Court Docket at Anchorage

WASHINGTON, R- The con- gestion of court dockets in Alas ka's Third Division "has become more serious in the last year, says the annual report of the di- rector of the Administrative Of- flee of US. Courts.
 The Anchorage court is singled out, as one of the systems most heavily burdened.
 The report noted that the AL aska Legislature recommended an additional judge for the Third Division in 1947. The same recom- mendation was made by the Judi cial Conference of the United States in 1949 and has been re- affirmed annually since.
 The additional Alaska judge was included in an omnibus judgeship bill passed by the Sen ate in the first session of the 83rd Congress but was deleted from the House version of the bill which is now in conference await ing the return of Congress for possible action.
 In recent years, the report de- clares, the number of cases in the Third Division has continued to increase until they now number much larger than all of the other three divisions of the territory taken together"
 Not only is the additional judge ''badly needed" in the district, the report says, but the death of Judge A. J. Dimond last May a vacancy which has not yet been filled-also has Aggravated" the courts condition.

Investigation Ordered to Probe Beef Price Margins

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of Agriculture Benson has order ed an investigation to find out whether there is a widening of the spread between prices farm CTS receive for their cattle and the cost of these at retail"
 Farmers of America are en- titled to know if there is truth to the charge that margins are ex- cessive," Benson said Saturday night in announcing he had in structed department experts to make a study and report quickly to him.
 Benson said he had received a number of reports, from mem bers of Congress and others, that there is a growing spread between the price the farmer gets and the price the housewife pays for beef.
 In Chicago, the American Meat Institute said in a statement:
 Some critics unfortunately have c1ouded the facts by compar- ing prices paid for low grade cattle and cows with the retail price of choice steak cut from top quality, finished, grain-fed steers. Such mixed-up reasoning is like comparing prices of wild daisies with cultivated hot house or chids.''
 Benson noted that the govern ment's latest cost of living index reflected a 6 per cent jump in the price of beef and veal from July to August, and he said it came at time of abundant sup plies and generally low cattle prices.
