 The two boats were being lowed by the Talkyra, self-propelled barge when the accident occurred. There being no communication between the barge and the small vessels, it was two hours before the barge could be notified and stopped.
 Coast Guard planes made a fruitless search for Maxi in the waters near Talk Island.

Chinese Drive
 In Korea War Comes to Halt

SEOUL, R-The fighting died abruptly early today on the Kor- can front in the wake of a re- ported agreement at Panmunjom on a cease-fire line.
 The hills of eastern Korea, which had rocked for a week to the greatest Chinese Communist offensive in two years, were quiet except for the occasional clash of patrols and the crash of artillery.
 It still was too early to say whether the fighting was dying to zero as the hour of armistice ap- preached, but another "A hours probably will tell the story.
 Communist correspondents at Panmunjom had suggested that everyone watch what happened at the front-an apparent reference to a halt of the Red attack.
 A U. $. Eighth Army spokes- man said the new Pukham River line established after a two-mile withdrawal by the South Koreans Sunday and Monday appeared tout of the fluid stage now and stabilized"

Rosenbergs Win Stay of Execution

WASHINGTON, R-Julius and Ethel Rosenberg won a stay of execution from a single Supreme Court Justice today but the gov ernment immediately moved for a reversal by the full court.
 Atty. Gen. Brownell, in an nouncing the appeal to the entire bench, described as "unprece- dented" the action of Justice Douglas in granting the indefinite stay to the atom spy team.
 The Court on Monday had re- jected by 5-4 vote the Rosen- berg's plea for a stay of execu- ton and a review of their trial.
 Douglas based his action today in granting the stay on the ques- ton of whether the' Rosenbergs were tried and sentenced under the proper law.
 In a statement accompanying his decision, Douglas said that he has the power to grant a stay after the Supreme Court itself re- fuses to do so, only if it is on grounds not before considered by the Court.
 He noted that he based his action on a point not previously raised in appeals to the high court.
 Douglas said he has serious doubts whether the judge who sentenced the couple had the right to send them to the electric chair because they were not tried under the law dealing specifically with atomic espionage.
 The Atomic Energy A ct was passed in 1946. It provides that the death sentence can be imposed only on the specific recommenda- ton of the jury and when it has been found that the offense was made with an attempt to injure the United States.

Bill In Congress Would Halt Fraudulent Mining Claims To Get Timber

WASHINGTON, RHThe House Interior Committee has approved bill to halt the filing of fraud ulent mining claims for the pur- pose of getting access to timber.
 The bill would bar mining claims based upon the discovery of sand, common stone, gravel or cinders.
 Congressman Began D- Tex) said it has been estimated that only 3 per cent of all mining claims are legitimate mining en- terprises. He declared there are 243 punice claims in national forests in Oregon aimed at getting the timber on the lands.

Fifty Thousand Workers Riot In
 East Germany Against Red Rulers

BERLIN, LP - Fifty thousand rioters exploded a four-hour re- volt against Red rule in East Der lin Wednesday. Soviet troops, backed by tanks and armored cars, fired on the workers, and the Russian authorities declared Nmartial law.
 b The East Berliners hauled down and burned the Red flag, mauled German Communist officials and shouted Ivan go home" But the drastic military action dispersed the crowds and ended the vio- lence.
 At the height of the rioting Otto Nuschke, deputy prime minister of the East German government, ap- peared at a West Berlin police station and police reported he had deserted to the West.
 Nuschke later said, however, he had been forced over the frontier by angry rioters and that he wanted to return to the Soviet sector.
 After East Berlin police vainly battled to stem the tide of riot ing, green-helmeted Soviet troops, amounting to a regimental com bat team (perhaps 5000 mem were called in.
 Tanks deployed against the workers. Gunfire echoed at sev- eral places where the biggest crowds were gathered. The peo- pie attacked tanks with stones, and disabled at least one with a log jammed into the treads. But the mobs had to give way. The core of the demonstration was scattered.
 The revolt in Berlin, 100 miles inside the Soviet occupied zone of Germany, started Tuesday as a stage-managed parade in which 5000 workers marched to the

Bill Beltz Nugget Suit Dismissed
 And Facts Are Hereby Set Straig Int

The libel suit filed by Bill Beltz against the Nome Nugget last fall during the political campaign for territorial offices will be dis missed by mutual agreement of the parties.
 The cause of the libel suit was a paid advertisement placed by C.. R. Goshaw in a series of adver- tisements headed by the slogan, "An Alaskan Republican Says" The statement causing the libel suit was, Ask Senator Bill Beltz, now living in Fairbanks and not in the Second Division where he is supposed to reside, why he filed his expense travelling voucher from Dime Creek to Nome then from Nome to Juneau, when he only travelled from Fairbanks to Juneau?"
 The Nugget has stated it's policy many times as being non biased in it's politics and when challenged by Beltz on this statement which he denied took steps to verify the statement by notifying the adver- tiser who was on his way to Washington DC. and also through Juneau. However before the facts were completely rounded up and all parties interested located, the suit was filed.
 Actually Senator Beltz made the following trip to attend the 1851 session of the Alaska Legislature.

IT WAS A SURPRISE to learn
from the Ada Herald of last week
that squirrel hunting in that vicinity
has been nothing to brag about
while local hunters are reporting
some of the best shooting in years
in the adjacent woodlots.
Members of the Sportsmen's
Club are prone to believe that
some of their work of stocking
the area with squirrels back in
1943 is still bearing fruit. About
that time several hundred of the
bushey tails were purchased
from the Sandhill Game Farms
of Babcock, Wis, and released
hereabouts.
Some of the sportsmen, at the
time, did not agree with the policy
of releasing many of the squirrels
and building dens for them on the
College campus and elsewhere within
the corporation limits, where they
could not be hunted. Now, however,
many agree that the transforming of
he village into a game refuge which
ould not be violated had its merits.
AS the squirrel population increas-
d in town, many of the more adven-
urous sought the woodlots outside
he corporation limits. Some of these
low. offer the finest hunting.
Members of the club, begin
ming to consider the wisdom of
importing land additional brood
stock, have learned imitation has
hit the Squirrel business, too. In
1943 the dub bought squirrels at
about 90 DENTS each, but today

ones are rorth $40 the pair.

Eastern Warehouses
Report Slight Easing
In Demand for Steel
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. l9-Pres-
sure on Eastern warehouses for
steel is easing slightly. giving
fresh evidence of an approach
ing balance between supply and
demand, Steel Magazine reported
yesterday.
The warehouse trend was first
apparent in tool steels, but it now
extends over more finished pro-
ducts. Steel said in it's weekly
summary of the Woodworking in
dustry.
Another development pointing
toward the balance, the magazine
said is the possibility that the
National Production Authority
will give producers of stoves, re-
frigerators and similar items an
increased second quarter allot-,
ment.
Indications are they will re-
ceive 80 per cent of the amount
used in the average quarter prior
to the Korean war. These con-
sumers previously had been sche-
duled to get only 70 per cent.
The NPA now expects the aver
age steel consumers inventory
should be balanced by July /,
Steel continued.
The magazine said the overall
demand for steel continues
strong, however. resulting in new
production records. The latest
one was set in the week ending
January II, when output for
ingots and castings was at 99.5
per cent of capacity. This yielded
2,243,000 net tons.
