Prof. Herbert Fuchs. whose
Iouster as a law professor at
IAmerican University was rec.
commended after he testified in
1.-THE House about former Com
munist connections. said today
he intends to fight to keep his
Job.
Mr.. Fuchs said he believes
fear of adverse publicity for the
university spanked the recon-
Imendation, rather than his Jes-
ltimony before executive sessions
lof the House subcommittee IN
vestigating communism IN Gov
ernment last June and july OF
Ibis former Communist Party
membership.
The recommendation Of the
Executive committee Of the uni
tversity's board Of trustees is tc
be acted on later bv the full
board. Mr.. Fuchs said to-day he
will try to convince the b1aro
Inc should be retained.
Asked Faculty Hearing
! He said he also has asked the
faculty grievance committee tc
schedule a hearing of his case.
University President Hurst r
Anderson said the boards execu-
tive committee met in September
and decided that the most ap-
Ipropriate disposition would be tc
leave Mr.. Fuchs on inactive
status" until his contract expires
lin June, 1856.
DR.. Anderson said he would not
recommend Mr.. Fuchs reap
lpointment as a law professor
r. ". Fletcher, chairman of thu
university's board of trustees
stressed that the executive com.
mittee's action was a recon-
Imendation and that it is up tt
the full board to make the fina
decision in the Fuchs case.
| Mr.. Fletcher said he did moi
feel in a position to comment
iat this time on whether any new
facts had come before the execu'
tive committee after a statement
last July by DR.. Anderson in sup.
port of Mr.. Fuchs.
/ The board chairman said hi
and DR.. Anderson took the initia.
tive later in July to ask Mr.
Fuchs not to meet with any Of
his summer school classes unit
the case was finally settled.
| Mr.. Fuchs told the House sub
committee last June that he
Joined the Communist Party in
1894 and quit it in l946. He
testified that he worked in three
Communist cells.
| He joined the first, he testi-
fed. when he came to Washing
ton in 1886 to take a post with
the special Senate committee in
vestigating the Nations railroads
A couple of years later. he told
the committee. he took a job
with the National Labor Rela-
ltions Board and joined the Com
munist unit there. At the begin
ming of World War II, according
ito his testimony. he transferred
Ito the War Labor Board, was
1sent to Denver and joined a third
Red cell there.
After his testimony was made
public In a story in The Star

oner asked: Are you an Ameri-
can?" I nodded.
I'VE also have two here who
are going away" A few minutes
later I met Pvts. Marchuk and
Verdine, and 1t was pleasure to
speak English with someone
again.
No Stalopinski This Time
On the way to the train station
in an MVD car. we talked. Pvt.
Marchuk told me he had gotten
drunk in a bar in Berlin and
wandered across the Red border.
Pvt. Verdine said he had been
kidnapped while on duty on the
demarcation line.
Two officers accompanied us to
Moscow. At the Vorkuta station,
I walked up to the Stalopinski
prison car waiting there. One Of
the MVD officers laughed:
That's not tor you any more.
Get in the train" Pyts. Marchuk,
verdine. myself. and the two
MVD officers sat together in a
civilian passenger car.
The trip to Moscow took four
days. 1t was the same route !
had come up by. The thing that
struck me hardest were hundreds
of new slave camps, obviously
for numbering. along the railroad
tracks in the northern region.
The countryside looked as
poverty-stricken as ever. Vologda
showed some improvement. but
it was still a typically backward
Russian town. Not until we were
within a few miles of Moscow did
we see signs of considerable
building, both factories and
apartments.
Loses Hope Again
At the Moscow station 10 MVD
officers greeted us. We were put
in a curtained bus. Inside. away

from the eyes Of the people. were
three prison cages. We were
taken to Burtirskaja Prison for
two weeks. The next stop was
Potma. q 1S-hour train trip from
Moscow.
It was still June when I ar
rived in Potma. and my hopes
rose when ] was told it was a
repatriation camp. We did no
more work there, and with the
help Of American Red Cross
packages. I regained my normal
weight. They must be fattening
me UP for something. I thought.
But I waited for months, and
almost lost hope again.
On January Q, 1855, I was taken
back to Moscow. ] was given a
new suit. and Pvt. Marchuk and
were sent out to the suburb of
Bukova to live in a house. That
afternoon, a delegation from the
Kremlin came to see us It was
headed by Gen. Masslinenkov,
butcher Of Vorkuta. He was ac-
companied by four colonels.
"You will leave tomorrow for
Berlin, Mr.. Noble. where you will
be turned over to American
authorities" he said. Mean
while you will be shown Moscow
by one of our officers" I was
really going home.
Gen. Masslinenkov shook my
hand, then asked: by the way,
where were you in the Soviet
Union?" When / said. "Vorkuta. +"
the color left his face. "In which
mine?" he asked. Mines No. l6
and &c." ! answered. I was en-
joying this.
He asked nervously: "Do you
recognize me?" ! lied and said.

did you take part in the
striker"
Certainly" I answer d
proudly. I'VE all did"
From the suburb we drove to
Moscow itself.
Sees Moscow Slums
I was particularly impressed
by Moscow. They have some
excellent new buildings, but
basically even the best part of
the city was dull. Pvt. Marchuk,

I and q colonel were In the car
together. / asked to see the Art
Gallery. and the driver instinc-
lively made a sharp turn and
drove of the main street TO use
a short cut. We started going
through the less-impressive
streets of Moscow. 1t was some
thing out of a Dickens novel;
the ugliest wooden slums had
ever seen.
The next day. the three Of US
took the Blue Express from
Moscow to East Berlin. In 1850,
I was on my stomach in a Sta
lopinski. Now I had a 25-ruble
dinner In the dining car, cour-
tesy Of the MVD. Later, / found
out what had made the differ
ence.
The card I mailed from Vor-
kuta had reached my father in
Detroit. and he brought it d.
rectly to the State Department.
The department dispatched an
other note to Moscow. Mean
while Representative Bentley of
Michigan had interested himself
in my case. and discussed it with
President Eisenhower. Sometime
in December 1854. the President
sent dispatch about my case to
Ambassador Bohlen in Moscow,
who took it up with the Kremlin.
Taken TO Berlin
The Blue Express brought me
into East Berlin on January s.
Fifteen minutes later I was in a
room in Karlshorst, the Soviet
headquarters, where was soon
joined by a United States Army
liaison officer to East Berlin, and
two State Department officials,
one of whom signed a receipt for
me. The Russians then turned
me over to American authorities.
I arrived in the States by
plane January II, when saw
my family again for the first
time in nine and a half years.
My body is still surprisingly
healthy. Only my bottom teeth

have learned that the mono
lithic solidarity which the Soviet
presents to the. outside world is a
sham. Not that revolution is
coming tomorrow or even in a
decade. But I do know that the
rebellion of 100000 slave
laborers gave the Russian people
a great deal of food for thought
and that someday 20 million
slave laborers will exert a great
force for decency should a strug-
gle for control in the Kremlin rip
the Soviet empire apart.

(1n collaboration with Martin L. cross)
NEW YORK, April 13.-The
strike had ended In mass MUIR
der. Gen. Masslinenkov's Mos
COW troops had killed 110 men
and wounded 500 in a two-minute
burst of fire at Camp No. 20. :,
The day after we returned to
work. the 300 men in my camp
who were most active in the
strike, and 1000 throughout Vor-
kuta. were arrested.
Two of the men released few
days later told me what hap
pened. A thousand prisoners
were sent to the Far East. an
other 1000 were put in the camp
prison, and most of the others
were given three to five years ad-
ditional sentences and sent to
other camps. Three hundred
men, including the strike COM
mittees Of all the camps, were
sexecuted.
We never again saw Gureyvich
or the heroes who had spoken for
us on the football field to Gen.
Masslinenkov.
I was not brought In. No one
but the members of the strike
committee knew by role in the
striks.
Three MVD officers and two
guards from our camp were also
arrested, charged with helping to
inspire the rebellion. Col. Bur-
tiev. one Of Derevyenko's chief
assistants, was discharged from
the MVD and is now working as
civilian assistant mine director
In Vorkuta.
Triumphant Spirit Remains
The strike had officially been
broken, but the triumphant
spirit Of the prisoners remained.
We had won a number of con-
cessions. including a good deal
more money. In fact, some Of the
mines never quieted down. In
February, 1854, section of the
soffice building in Mine No. z was
blown up by a homemade bomb.
Then the generator of the elec-
trio power station was blasted.
A search of our mine turned
up 400 sticks of dynamite hidden
in recesSes.
In March, 1854, I was trans
ferred to mine No. 90, where the
slaughter had taken place
August /. The men in my bar
racks proudly showed me the
wounds of that day. There were
bullet holes in every building.
At this point. I had lost all
hope of an early release. I ex-
pected to be in Vorkuta at least
another five or 10 years.
! Allowed to Send Postcard
I In May, 1854. allowed myself
q glimmeI Of hope when the
Reds permitted me to mail a Red
Cross postcard to my family's
address In Detroit.
Early in June, I was eating my
usual cabbage soup dinner in'the
mess hall when my barracks
master rushed in. "Amerikanitz,
the camp commander is looking
for you. You have orders to
proceed to Moscow" I looked
up at him for a second, then
continued eating. He was obvi-
ously kidding. Then, a few min
utes later, a friend ran up with
the same news.
! rushed to the administration
building, and stood at attention
before MVD 1t. Antrashkevich.
"You are to leave for Moscow at
~ am. in the morning." he said.
"As far as I know you are going
home"
The next morning I was taken

645 LAND PATENTS GRANTED THROUGH
 AREA OFFICE IN 1854

As about 100000 acres are under oil and gas leases in Alas ka, most publicity relative to Bur- eau of Land Management activ- itjes has been about oil and gas recently, according to Lowell M. Puckett, area administrator. How ever, there has been no slow down in other land office functions in Alaska, he said. A total of ITO pa- tents were issued in the Terri tory during 1854. Of these, 645 came through the Anchorage Land Office and 125 through Fairbanks.
 Hundreds of small tracts were leased and are proceeding to pa tent and practically all of the feasible islands to the southwest are under grazing lease. the of- ficial said. Homesteading contin- ues brisk although the new law requiring veterans to cultivate lf8 of the total area, the same as all other entrymen, seems to have slowed the rate of filing among ex-military men, in the opinion of BLM land office personnel. A number of sale at auction of busi- ness sites were conducted during the year.
 ELM has the responsibility of disposing. of timber and other re- sources of the land and of direct ing fire fighting and fire suppress sion on the public domain. There were total of 168 timber sales, involving a total of slightly over II million board feet. There were also 249 permits issued for free use timber involving almost 215 million board feet.
 During 1854 there were 10 grav- el sales by ELM totaling 69,150 cubic yards and "A free use grav- el permits involving a total of D. 296, 120 cubic yards, principally to other government agencies. The permits for sales and free use of timber and gravel were widely dispersed throughout the Terri tory. Efforts are now being made to prepare preside inventories and short summaries of the in formation as to species and vol ume present in order to attract prospective purchasers. The cut ting regulations, which are de- signed to leave the areas in a productive condition, are not so

The American Federation of Labor shares your devotion to the free enterprise system and your sup port of the free way of life. In broad sense the workers, the business men and the farmers of this country are working toward the same goal better America.
 As representation of one of the largest cities in which Kiwanians serve, Martin H. Remedy. Mayor of Chicago. said ''The contribu- tion of community welfare, to i'm provement in local government, to the general betterment of each locality in which it functions which have been made by Xii wanis International can hardly be over-estimated. Kiwanians are among the foremost of our cit izens.
 Henry R. Luce. Publisher of Time and Life said: ''Kiwanis has nourished in American and Can adian hearts the fire of Practical Idealism.' May it burn brightly in the coming years and guide ten thousand neighborhoods to even greater progress through progress and friendliness."

restrictive that they would incur any handicap on an operator, it was pointed out.
 During the 1854 calendar year, 266 fires burned approximately l,431 ,000 acres, according to E. V. Zumwalt, a ELM official. The to- tai expenditure for fire suppress sion costs was about $612,000. Twenty-four percent of these fir es were caused by lightning and these lightning fires accounted for about 909o of the total area burn ed. Most of the lightning fires occurred within remote areas and were in many cases either econ omically or geographically inac- cessible by the time ground con- trol action could be taken, Zum- walt said
 During the past IS years there has been a gradual increase in the number of fires, but the acre age burned has varied greatly from year to year depending pri- marily upon weather conditions.

Hershey, na- tionaI director of Selective Ser vice, that individual files of regis trants of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as Ann ended, are now in the preliminary stage of being disposed of, as they have served all discernible ad- ministrative purposes.
 MT. Mccormick advises all men who registered in Alaska under the 1940 Act, desiring information from their files. and agencies who have been authorized to obtain information from these files, to do so immediately as it is contem- plated that there will be cut off date in the very near future for access to information contain ed in these files.
