CHECK FIRE HAZARDS DURING OCT. 9-15

Fall is fire inspection time for Alaskan homes.
 Heating, cooking and other equipment that is defective or overloaded is the biggest cause of home fires. Careless use of gasoline or kerosene and de- fective chimneys and flues follow closly on the list.
 National Fire Prevention Week is set for Oct. g through Is.
 Inspection will save home and business fire losses. To help prevent fire, everyone is urged to check chimneys. heat ing and cooking equipment. Be careful with storage and use of f1arnma.ble liquids, avoid overlooking electrical systems and cultivate careful smoking habits. A cleanup day of rub bish usually overlooked is good plan.

The Russians apparently are thinking it would not take too much of push to drive wed- ge between Ottawa and Wash ington.
 Prime minister Louis St. Lau rent and his dominant liberal party indicate an open mind, for example. on the matter of diplomatic recognition for Red China. The leaders of the Can adian government have hinted at criticism of Washington's China policy and have indica- ted they would like to see the matter of Formosa settled by secret diplomacy.
 If the Soviet Union sees signs of irritation between the United States and its closest ally, it obviously is going to strike while the iron is hot. This sort of thinking unques- tionaIbly is the very foundation of the Soviet new look, whose basic aim is to splinter the un- ity of the west by using every weapon and every advantage that comes to hand.

COP convention uf San Francisco

WASHINGTON (P) Nation al chairman Leonard w. Hall Wednesday announced the for nal signing of a contract to hold next years Republican ma tional convention in San Fran cisco Aug 20, as originally planned.
 Hall called news confer ence to make the announce ment, and to repeat there was no substance 10 the reports President Eisenhower's illness might cause change in the date and place.
 Hall had sought earlier this week to squash speculation that the COP might decide to hold the convention earlier if it became certain Eisenhower would not run again. The think ing back of such speculation was that some other candidate would need more time for cam paigning before the November election.
 Hall predicted to his news conference the COP convention will nominate the next presi- dent of the United States. But he declined to speculate on whether Eisenhower will run, saying this would be inappro- priate at this time.

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts A. P. News Analyst

A torrent of Soviet advice greeted Canada's foreign secre- tary, Lester B. Pearson, on his arrival Wednesday in Moscow. The solicitous words of Prav- da and Izvestia brought into bold relief the aims of the many y-pronged Soviet diploma tic offensive,
 Izvestia. the Soviet govern ment newspaper, advised him that Canada should break out of her deficit trade" with the United States and start taking advantage of the markets of fered by the U. $. s. R., Red China and the rest of the com munist bloc.
 Pravda told the visitor Cam ada was really a neighbor of the Soviet Union and should start thinking about cutting down arms expenses and end ing the cold war against Mos COW.
 The Moscow press casually admitted the Krernlin regards the arrival of Pearson at this moment as most fortunate in view of the new, marked inn provement" in east-west rela- tions. It then told Canada she has an unfaVorable trade bal ance with the United States.
 The Canadian visitor is not the first to undergo this sort of treatment in Moscow since the smile offensive began. The communists have decided it is high time for them to take ad- vantage of the basic weakness ses of capitalism on the econ omic front to win more victor ies on the political front.
 Canadians have been treated to a taste of what the new look might amount to. The Canad- ian government this summer executed. a couple of deals with European communist countries to take shipments of Canada's surplus butter and wheat. Can- adian business has been given to understand that this was on- ly the bginning that an al- most limitIess market awaits them.
 But now, with the visit of ! the foreign secretary, the inn plication is that it is all up toI the Canadian government and the course of it's future policy. Trade requires normalizatlon of relations with the commun- ist bloc U including Red China ! U and norrnalization requires an end to the cold war. In or der to end the cold war, Can- ada is given to understand, shel must break away from the lead ] kf the United States. {
