U. S. DEVELOPMENT IN INDocHINA

Reports from the Far East indicate that the Chinese
Communists are accelerang their aid to the Vetmnh
forces in IndoChna The latest intelligence also reveals
increasing Russian participation in this war; the latest
Russian gesture being reported offer to give the Wet
mimi forces some 100 transport planes
No doubt the Russian Government continues to tell
its Communist inhabitants that the Russians are taking
this action only to counter similar action the part of
the United States Nevertheless the continued Russian
and Chinese support for the Vetmnh forces in Indo-
China brings up the question how the United States will
increase its support the French and Vetnam forces
The United States is countering the increased So
Wet and Chinese aid program by increased aid program
of its own. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in recent
conference noted that the United States had tech
nica missions in number of countries and when asked
whether the technical aid to Indo-Chna was being in
creased, he replied that it might well be. He assured
legislators few days later aid would include troops
Shortly afterwards, it announced that the United
States making available to French and Vetnam
forces number of military aircraft
The question at present is whether the United States
will allow volunteers to to IndOChina to fight with
French and Vietnam forces The outlook is apparently
that volunteer technicans will be allowed to serve, al
though ground forces are currently ruled out.
There is no escaping the fact that Communist fore

China and that the French hard-pressed. If the
United States is to the situation in ndo China as it
saved in South Korea increased aid may be needed
This aid must be limited to technical assistance,
but the United States is country whose technical asss-
lance may we'll prove decisive The American people will
no doubt support continued and enlarged technical as
sstance and even the assistance of enlarged technical
missions in Indo-China, although at present the public
will not support the use of U. S. troops there.

At first things went very well
between us. except for the oc-
casions when he drew COMPARE
sons between me and, his first
wife-all in her favor, Of course.
Lately, however. he has become
moody and distant. Finally he
confessed that he still loved his

If he wants his freedom, I can't
stand in his way-I love him too

would it really be the best thing

ANSWER: Your husbands
puppy love seems to have de-
generated into something Of a
mongrel affair. He certainly
has no discrimination. wanting
always the woman who is just
out of reach. His moral sense
is conspicuous by its absence.
And what part do you play in
this motley arrangement? You

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
husband asked me to write you
so we could have an outsiders
opinion on our problem.
All through school he mad a
case of puppy love on a girl to
whom he eventually became en-
gagged. However, she wanted to
be married Immediately, and
since he preferred waiting until
he had good job, she Tilted him
and married some one else, That
was 10 years ago. He married
another girl, but they soon were

Hating whims. The idea Of.
permitting . man, who coolly
plans to desert you, to lay down
the terms on which he will leave
you. is something new. A little
less yes, dear" from you. and
bit more insistence that your
man recognize his obligations,
might save the two marriages
involved. One weak character
is enough to demolish some
homes. but when. as in your
case. both husband and wife
lack purpose. determination, and
even the sense to know right
from wrong the outlook can be
pretty bleak. On the very ele-
mental basis that adultery is d
grave sin, you have the answer
to your problem.
Perhaps the childhood sweet
heart has q few principles up her
sleeve. and is perfectly content
with her own home life. Her
part in your husbands dream
world is probably no more than
a mild Irritation which an egotis-
tical male has built into q great
passion.
Both you and your husband
would do well to consult your
pastor or marriage counselor.
DEAR MISS NIssEN: Almost
every week friends Of my parents
come to visit us, accompanied
by their son. He is very nice
and I'd like a chance to know
him better, but our parents won't
leave us alone a second. They
follow us into the garden. on the
porch or wherever we want to
go. I'm in my late twenties and
he's a bit older.-Frances s.
ANSWER: Looks like q con-
spiracy between the two families
to keep their offspring single
and permanently ensconced
under the parental roofs. Surely
there's some excuse you can
think Of to get him away from
the house for q while. Or, talk
the matter over with your
mother and see If she is willing
to be cooperative.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: Do you
think a husband is unreasonable |
in objecting to his wife stopping
for q few cocktails on the way
home from the Office with an |
unmarried man?-R. p.
ANSWER: Liberal minded
persons would say there's no
harm in your action. hence no !
cause for your husbands COM
plants. However. it's a situation |
that could lead to gossip and, If
your man objects, give in to him.
Harmony at home surely is
worth more than a cocktail or
two.

NEBRASKA CHICKS ON WAY TO GUS JOHNSON

In reply to Harold Davisson's rather rash promise to ship 100 baby chicks to the first person in Seward to ask for them, Gus Johnson of Seward Hardware has been notified that the chicks are on the way to him, all 100 of them.
 MT Davisson, of Seward, Ne braska, made the offer on his weekly radio program over KIBH. Gus, after hearing the program, jokingly sent off a wire. Now he is awaiting the chicks, but doesn't quite know what he is going to do with them. Seward, Nebraska is fam ed for its chicken hatcheries.
 MT. Malin reports that 25 per sons have paid for their plane tickets for the Seward, Nebras- ka basketball trip. Only 10 seats remain for sale and it is first come first served, with money on the line for a ticket!

Everyone blossomed out look ing like the first branches of Spring Wednesday, March IT. Saint Patrick's Day. Seems the custom is that anyone not wear ing green gets pinched, Irish or Eskimo! No fatalities were re ported, even though typhoid shot day happened to coincide (mak ing pinching doubly unwelcome) and many professed "color-blind ness" mistaking green for all shades of blue and red,

 A snow family appeared in front of the girls building fol- lowing the mysterious comings and goings of Miss Deliver and her "A" girls. The four snow people were easily identifiable as MT. and Mrs. Lee, Shawn and Eric, complete with caps and mittens.
 A recent addition to the fla mily' is Miss Mary Evelyn Don ham, teacher from Illinois who has been studying at the Univer- sity of Alaska this year. She is temporarily helping out in the boys building before continuing her travels through the Terri tory.
 Two birthdays are prominent parts of activity. Alex Giaco- metti celebrated his 11th year with party Tuesday night, March 16 Jacob Sheldon will have his seventh birthday party Sunday, March 21,, with cake and ice cream furnished by Mrs. Betty Palmer at whose wedding he served as ring bearer.
 Vespers on Wednesday, March 10, consisted of trip to Puerto Rico, as conducted by MT. Dan Boehm, via slides which he took during his three-year stay there. Something was learn ed of the culture and activities in a land of far different climate and environment.

ADULT NIGHT SCHOOL OPENS HERE

Night school pre-registration has revealed enough interest in Cnmercial subjects to warrant classes in typing and bookkeep- ing.
 An eight-Week course is being organized, with classes to start March g and continue through May 13. The schedule of classes is as follows;
 Typina: Mon., Tu9., Thurs,
 = 8 pm.
 Bookkeeping: Tues, Thurs,
 & 9:30 pm.
 The fee for each course will be S15, and may be paid next week at the organizational meet ing of each class. The first ses- sion of typing will be held next Monday, March 22, at TOO pm. in the high school commercial room. Bookkeeping will meet for the first time next Tuesday at 8 pm., also in the high school commercial room.
 Considerable interest was shown in shorthand, but it was felt that an eight-week course would not allow sufficient time for satisfactory accomplishment It is hoped that night classes in shorthand can be offered next fall, at which time it may be possible to conduct sessions over a sixteen-week period.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN our policy to be vindictive. It is, however, necessary occasionally to shock people into a realization of public danger in order to alert them to their own defense.
 That the powerful newspapers of Anchorage recognized the i'm portance of our case and the inn pact of our denunciation to the extent of editorializing on the Records blast of last week (for which we thank themD was proof its effectiveness.
 They have been unable to deny, however, that the pub lished report of an official mum icipal agency put into print the attitude of many Anchorage citi- zens that it would not only be necessary but right and advis- able to destroy the economic fu- ture of a neighbor in order to guarantee to some extent their OWn security.
 A rather cryptic paragraph from the Times editorial March 16 states, Word comes from Washington that all is not well with that appropriation Some Senators are said to be question ing the wisdom of the invest ment CARR rehabilitation and Seward docks) It may have been because of these reports, that the Seward newspaper was so quick to attack Anchor age.
 MT. Times was wrong. Until reading this editorial we had no knowledge that any Senators had been questioning the wisdom of the appropriation. Our anger was directed solely against the writers of the Port Commission report. Thanks to this tip, how ever, we can now believe that the report is being used in Wash ington to conceal the true situa tion in the Railbelt If so, we can only hope that the report is be- ing used in it's entirety, contain ing the several repeated state ment that Anchorage must |. exercise every means at their disposal to thwart the rehabili- tation of the Seward-Portage line"
 The Times remarks that Sew ard flew off the handle, or in the editors words, "the Seward newspaper was so quick to at tack Anchorage without clearing with city officials to see what official status the Port Commis- sion's report would have" And also, Tt is interesting that the city council disposed of the rail

DEVEL. BOARD IN SUPPORT OF ARR APPROPRIATIONS

Alaska Development Board in- dicated its full support of ap- propriations for Seward-Portage rehabilitation and docks in a telegram received Wednesday by Win Erwin, president Seward Chamber of Commerce. Full text of the message is as follows:
 Alaska Development Board fully supports requested appro- priations by Alaska Railroad and recommendations of Bureau of Budget and Department of In- terior for rehabilitation of Sew ard dock facilities and Alaska Railroad. We wish 10 emphasize that when Ralph Browne was quoting from reports published by Alaska Development Board he was in effect in most cases quoting himself and that work which he performed was not done under supervision of pres ent Board management. Alaska Development Board will do ev- erYthing possible 10 see that necessary funds for Seward are appropriated"

BARTLETT WILL NOT CAMPAIGN FOR PRIMARY

Delegate Bartlett last week an nounced that he will not return to Alaska for the primary cam paign.
 This decision," he said, twas reached only after much thought and careful consideration. My every instinct and desire is to return home and meet with the people. But campaign trip such as this through the Territory takes several weks. If I were to leave Washington for that length of time to engage in party pri- mary contest it would mean de- serting the job for which I have been hired. Congress is in ses- sion. Matters concerning Alaska are constantly being taken up in the Congress and in the execu tive departments. Every day many Alaskans write me for as sistance in their dealings with the federal government.
 The people of Alaska elected me to do these things In good conscience I cannot now desert these responsibilities in seeking nomination. If it were a matter of free choice then should be on . my way to the Territory before the day is over. I should like nothing better. The decision, however, has been made not on the grounds of personal prefence but of responsibility to the of flee for which I was chosen. Therefore, it is my intention to stay right here in Washington doing my job from day to day"

More Irish" Here This Yeur Then
 Ever Dreamed Of

St. Patrick's Day last Wednes- day brought out more Irish men" in Seward than was dreamed of. Just everybody, re- gardlesS of his name or heritage, was wearing the green that day.
 Sam Romack, who invited the whole town to his annual cele- bration of the day, served home made saurkraut, pickled salmon, ham and potato salad to hun dreds of friends during the day. Catholic Party Crowded
 The annual St. Patrick's Day party held by the Sacred Heart Church in the Civic Center was a tremendous success, judging from the vast crowd that thronged the place.
 No report is available yet on the financial success of the af fair, but it is expected to mea- sure up favorably, as the games offered are very popular. The American Legion and Elks both suspended their activities in sup port of the church affair.
 Mrs. Melvin Anderson, who lives on Nash Road is now the lucky owner of the handmade bedspread which was on display in Werner's window. Dennis Kielcheski sold the most tickets for the affair and was awarded a S25 savings bond.
 So many people contributed to the success of the annual St. Patrick's Day party that it would be impossible to thank each one separately, the chairman said today, so they offer publicly grateful appreciation of Father Arnold Custer, members of the Parish of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and of the committees in charge of the party, for all the kindness and generosity shown them by the people and organizations of Seward.

Penalty Notices To Be Mailed To Lo+e Pliers

Notices of $500 penalties as required by law will soon be mailed to land owners who filed their statement of ownership after December 31, 1853. Land Commissioner w. A. Chipper- field, who has spent the past two weeks in Juneau conferring with members of the Governors of flee and the Attorney General, states that if the penalty is not paid before July 1, 1854, the name of the owner with a de- scription of the property will be included in the list that he must send to the Clerk of the Courts for further action on July l.. Thereafter, the Courts allow 60 days for the owner to make set clement. If settlement is not made within that period, the foreclosure action follows.
 Chipperfield said that al- though insufficient funds were appropriated to administer the land registration law, he will endeavor to give all property owners who filed the required statement of ownership after De- .cember 31, 1853, ample time and instructions for preventing any foreclosures. He estimates that 2,000 statements of ownership were filed after the required fill ing date expired. Most of these are from the Third Division.
 Until additional funds are ap- propriated, the office of the De- partment of Lands will be un- able to compile a list of all land whose ownership has not been filed. However, such land is sub ject to the $500 penalty and lien. Chipperfield said that it is unlikely that a clear abstract of title or title guarantee can be given for land in Alaska unless ownership statements are filed according to the law. He said that the law may be amended or repealed during the next session of the legislature, but owners who plan to sell their land dur ing the period the law is in eff feet. should make sure that the required ownership statement has been filed and that there are no penalties or liens against the land.
 Chipperfield states that the penalties should be paid through his office, Box 368, Anchorage, Alaska, and that the notices of penalty due will contain instruc- tions for making payment. Own ership statements should con tinue to be filed in the office of the Recorder of the Precinct where the land is located.

OCEAN FREIGHT RATES UP MARCH Is

Alaska ocean freight rates were raised 712 percent effec- tive March Is as the result of the Federal Maritime Boards decision on tariffs filed by mem bers of the Pacific Coast-Alaska Freight Conference, according to word received in Seattle today by Alaska Steamship Company.
 However, recent reductions in many Alaska Railroad tariff items have the effect of nullify- ing this increase to Alaska Rail road points, it was pointed out.
 A 10 percent increase was ask ed by the conference --- Alaska Steamship Company and Coast wise Line: the first general in crease in freis4st rates since March, 1852.
 This increase was essential to cover increased operating costs and permit us an opportunity to earn an allowable return D. E. Skinner, president of The Alaska Line, said. By the decision of the Board to reduce the increase to 71a percent, we have lost 25 percent of the required addition al revenue plus the loss sustain ed due to the Boards suspension of the tariffs since February 12, their original effective date.
 However, despite this loss of revenue, Alaska Steam will at tempt to maintain the frequency of service heretofore provided Skinner said.
