the Northeast with some price cuts ranging
to cents gallon. Appliance price increases
are not holding, either; discounts from list

90 Wages are still rising in the eighth
round since World War II, but the percentage
of increase this year is much lower than in
recent years.
Wage increases this year are ranging from
to 10 cents an hour. about half the size
of many hikes in 1852. Even so. there have
been few major strikes against industry.
And there is no pattern for wage hikes as
there was in 1916 or l947.

by cutting costs in other spheres. eliminating

This telegraphs the belief of top labor

settling for cash now. they give themselves

fringe benefits.
(5) Businessmen are admitting openly that
mounting competition is making price mark

There simply aren't any shortages left.
Against background of immense production,
huge stocks and broadening scramble for
the consumers dollar, a price markup could
definitely boomerang.
60 And the fact that unions are battling
for wage boosts on the basis that these are
necessary to protect purchasing power and
thus to protect prosperity, instead of on the
basis that wage boosts are justified by cor

US. and Colombian Troops Smash Biggest Chinese :. Attack In Five Months

SEOUL, LR American and Chinese were locked in deadly battle Tuesday night on the red mud slopes of Old Baldy Hill after the biggest Red attack in five months was broken by US. and Colombian troops.
 The Chinese smashed in waves Monday night against Old Baldy, Pork Chop and T-Bone hills on the western Korean front.
 US. Seventh Division soldiers cut out the heart of a 3,500-man attack by dawn Tuesday, kicking the Chinese back from Pork Chop and T-Bone.
 Reports from the front were conflicting and communications were out for part of the day, but Associated Press correspondent Stan Carter said from Seventh Division headquarters that the Chinese hold about third of the hill and the Americans control the rest.

 On the way home they stopped at Nome, Texas, to inspect the rice fields and process of prepar- ing the product for marketing.
 Upon inquiring why the town was named Nome, a local citizen said that the place was formerly called Sour Lake. This name be- came SO distasteful that a contest was held to find a new one.
 A man was blindfolded and placed before a huge map with instructions to point to any place on it, that spot to be the new name Of the community.
 Nome, Alaska was the place he pointed to but no Sourdough lives in Nome Texas.

Alaska Freighf's First Van Barge
 Due Valdez Today
By LOUIS R. HUBER


 SEATTLE, R- Alaska Freight Lines, Inc, began use of equip ment of Ocean Van Line last week with the sailing March IS of the towboat Osage and AFL's barge No. 1902 for Valdez.
 Six container vans of Ocean Van Line, all of whose operating equipment has been leased by Alaska Freight Lines, were aboard the barge. It is scheduled to ar rive in Valdez March 26.
 "Forty of the OWL vans can be carried on one barge As soon as we install generating equipment we shall be able to maintain each van at any temperature the ship per .desires-from five degrees be- low to 65 degrees above zero," said E. w. Hundley, executive vice president of Alaska Freight Lines.
 The Valdez barge also carried eight of Alaska Freight Lines truck trailers, 16 of which can be carried on one barge. Normally the OWL vans will be carried to Seward rather than to Valdez, and will take to the highways immedi- ately upon arrival.
 The OWL vans adapt very easily to the freight lines barges, Hund- ley said; they are stacked two high on the barge deck.
 Alaska Freight Lines acquired POI of the 30 = foot long OWL vans by the lease arrangement; added to AFL's 200 forty -foot-long truck trailers, this nearly doubles the company's highway capacity.
 The two types of vehicles differ in that the OWL vans separate from the trailer chassis, whereas the AFL trailerS retain the chassis and rear wheels when loaded on the barge.
 Both types have the advantage of extremely fast movement. They are unloaded at once upon arrival and they reach their destinations in Anchorage or Fairbanks in little over a weeks time from loading in Seattle," Hundley ob- served.
 Alaska Freight Lines will use its own heavy duty 300 J. horse power Kenworth trucks for haul ing OWL vans northward to An chorage and Fairbanks from Sew ard. Eighteen OWL trucks will be used in Seattle, Anchorage and Fairbanks for door to-door deliv- cry of cargo.
 Nome freight via Alaska Freight Lines is handled by Wien AirlineS.

g'NENANA The last minute rush to<sguess on the time of moving of the Nenana ice has started and the way the weather looks here it would not be bad idea to start figuring when the ice is going to break.
 I have talked to lots of old timers lately and none of them can remember a winter like this one. We have had practically no snow and very little cold weather. Because of the lack of snow the ice is thicker than usual: four feet of ice under the tripod and five feet of water under the ice. The tripod is situated in the same place as in previous years: 300 feet from the bank of the river. The clock will be set up and the wire strung to the tripod as soon as the ice begins to show signs of breaking.
 This year Nenana will get break and be put on the map as the ice classic will be televised all over the United States. Sound pictures will be taken from start to finish then be sent to the States for television.
 There is a certain pot of snow across the Panama from Ne mana that several old timers use as a clue as to when the ice goes. When this spot is the last one to show from town the ice is supposed to go. Perhaps this year this will work because there is very little snow, so I am going to be watching the hill closely.
 This year the tripod will be painted black and white in three foot stripes for those taking col ored pictures. The wire from the clock. to the tripod will have sev- eral colored flags so that planes will not fly into it when they use the river ice for making ski landings when the airfield lacks snow.
 Pm going to stick my neck out and say that the ice will not be here after the fourth of May. That is my hunch and a hunch is all it amounts to. I have been watch ing breakups here since 1922 and still have not decided that know too much about. the. ways of Mother Nature. ,ss-~ ...-.,

HELP THEM ESCAPE!
Continued from page Serenteen

Sixteen of the leaders were shot.
Conditions among the civilian
population are just as bad. For
example, in the town came from,
the man who ran the candy store is
now in labor camp. Each month
new taxes we're imposed on him
until he was forced into debt and
then the state foreclosed. The
blacksmith in my town has gradu-
ally been forced to sell his tools to
pay his taxes, and now he works in
a factory 300 miles from his fam
lily. The crippled owner of the
newsstand has also been victim
of special taxation, but after fore
closing his stand, the state has re-
installed him as its employee at
salary he can scarcely live on.
Disillusionment and resentment
are widespread; these people are
eager to desert. But you have not
offered them the proper induce
ments. In my opinion, here they
are:
]. Establish free armies for
every satellite country. If there
were a Polish army as part of the
NATO alliance, then the soldier or
civilian who wants to escape would
have a specific and desirable goal.
AS it is, if company of Polish
soldiers were to escape, what would
their objective be? Our enslaved
peoples want a free army they can
join with patriotic pride. not a
mercenary, foreign legion type
of army like the one that was
proposed in the US. Senate.
Would a free army attract these
Iron Curtain soldiers? During
World War II, General Anders,
the Polish commander, went to
Field Marshal Wilson in Italy and
urged him to designate the $4,000
soldiers under Anders' command
as a regular army corps. At first,
Marshal Wilson refused. Fifty
thousand is the minimum compile
ment for a corps he said. AFTER
the first battle, where will you get
replacements?"
my reinforcements," General
Anders replied, "are in front of
me-" The General was right, for
the closer the army progressed
toward Poland, the larger it be-
came; by the time the Allies
Evening star., 1953-08-23

reached northern Italy, the Polish
army numbered 10000.
The Polish army today stands
at one million strong. If General
Anders were in command of free
Polish army under NATO's aegis,
| have no doubt there would be
wholesale desertions to his colors.
When | escaped, / was under the
erroneous impression that such a
free army existed under General
Anders' command. That was one
of the chief reasons l wanted to
escape.
z. Destroy the prestige of the
present satellite governments.
These puppet governments, which
are Moscow's branch offices, are
certainly not true reflections of the
political desires of their citizens. If
it is not feasible actually to with
draw recognition, then perhaps
other less stringent but effective
means can be devised to lessen the
prestige of these governments.
3. Guarantee freedom to all
Communist escapees. You can
not attract escapes if they fear
they will be imprisoned and even
tually returned to their Commu-
mist oppressors. 1t is this fear that
has caused General Clark's $780,
0C0MIG offer to boomerang. After
it was made, the political officers
told Red pilots, "See how great
our MIG is y the Americans are
desperately offering bribes to get a
look at one. But you men know
what happens to prisoners - they
are held in stockades and eventu-
ally returned and you know what
fate awaits such a traitor when he
comes back here"
In fairness to General Clark, it
should be pointed out that he did
offer freedom as part of the deal,
but this provision has been effec-
lively obscured.
4. Offer those IUI1O desert an
attractive political asylum.
Thanks to Russian propaganda,
all of Soviet Europe knows about
the McCarran Act. In my country,
for example. we know that Polish
sailors who long ago deserted their
ships in New York are still being
held on Ellis Island. l am lucky,
