Russia Repeats
Threat to Form
Red Military Bloc

LONDON, R-RuSsia has re-
peated her three-month-o threat
to form a unified Communist mil
itary command for eastern Europe
if West German rearmament is
ratified.
In a Moscow radio broadcast,
the Soviet Foreign Ministry an
nounced Monday the Russians and
their seven east European allies
had held new talks in connection
with their Dec. 2 pledge to draw
up their own mutual security
treaty if the West approves the
Paris agreements.
'In the course of these consul
tations," the announcement said,
complete unanimity of votes
revealed itself concerning the
principles of such a treaty and
the organization Of a unified COM
mand of the states"
American officials in Washing
ton viewed the new Soviet an
nouncement as a further propa-
ganda effort to quicken French
opposition to West Germany re-
armament. The French National
Assembly has approved the arms
treaties but the upper-house coun
Gil of the republic takes them up
today
(The Americans said any "uni-
fled command sci. up by the
Soviets for east Europe would
merely formalize what already
is fact-that the Russians con
troll the military in their satellites.

steadily since World War II and since it is continuing

which slowly progresses in every democracy and which
history shows is almost inevitable tendency.

RADIOACTIVE CLOUD
OVER LAS VEGAS
AFTER ATOM BLAST

LAS VEGAS, R-For the first
time since the government began
testing atomic weapons in Nevada
the cloud from a nuclear blast
passed over this resort community
of $4,000 Tuesday.
There was no alarm as the flat
tened-out, fleecy-white mushroom
top drifted overhead at an eStl-
mated height of 10000 feet. Atom
ic Energy Commission spokesman
here said there was no radiation
fallout.
The cloud, expected to pass
Las Vegas to the north, veered
south about $50 am. and passed
directly overhead, taking about
20 minutes to cross the city. Then
it floated on toward Henderson
and Boulder City, Neb., and King
man, Ariz.

doors Of the House chamber. 1t
was the longest caucus Of the ma
jority Democrats during the ses-
sion-and probably one Of the
hottest.
The executive secretary Of the
Territorial Federation of Labor,
Mrs. Cledamae Seaman, made this
comment on the ESQ bill: "If
adopted, it would be one Of the
most vicious employment security
acts under the American flag"
She emphasized the phrase, eff
it is adopted"
The House Democrats turmoil
over the legislation involved the
question Of whether the commit
tee could be sent back with a re-
quest to join with the Senate COM
mittee in further changes in the
compromise measure-or whether
it has to be adopted or rejected in
toto, as usual with free conference
committee reports. 1t cannot be
amended in any way on the floor
of either House.
The Big Objection
The labor federation secretary
said the big objection is to pro-
vision that If an unemployed per-
son applies for weekly benefits,
he can get them only if he made
$12O in the same quarter in one
Of the previous two years. That is
just one of the qualifying clauses
included in the bill.
But that one means if the work
er was thrown out Of work be-
cause of winter conditions during
January, February or March, for
example, he must have earned at
least S120 in that same period
during one OF the two previous
years. Mrs Seaman estimated it
would cut off close to two-thirds
Of the unemployed applicants
or close to 10000.
The ESQ bill would set $4,000
as the taxable wage level, instead
of the present $4,000 limit. It
would call for contributions by
workers Of one-half Of one per
cent up to the $4,000 level-or a
maximum Of $18 for year.
Increased Allowances
Benefits to persons in Alaska
would be at a maximum of $40
week for an individual, with de-
pendents' allowances which could
raise it to SIS for a family, COM
pared to the present laws limit
of $40 for family.
For persons leaving Alaska to
draw benefits, the amount would
be cut SIS a week from the present
law. The bill would set the cell
ing at $50 week, compared with
the present $35. A person could
not get dependents allowances
outside Alaska.
In the Senate, taxation meas
ures are due to hold the leading
spot on the calendar today, Senate
majority leaders said. That left
some senators feeling much of the
other legislation which previous
~ was approved in the House
might get sidetracked in Senate
controversy or get begged down
and buried.

MORE AND BETTER FOOD

Ever kick about the price of food? Then facts
cited by the head of food chain association may prove
enlightenng. We spend little more for food
than used to-25 percent of disposabe family
income went for it in 1854 compared with % percent
in 1859. But we get food and better food in
Guiding foods which have undergone time and labor
saving processing. If people bought the same food
today in 193539 it would take but II percent of
their incomes
And here's another striking fact-we must spend
far for taxes than for food The tax bill was about
$05OOO0O0000 last year and the food bill $64000 600
900. Keep that in mind when you're dealing with
budget problems.

MANY CHANGES CONE TO
CAROLlNA'S OUTER BANKS
State Bureau Issues New Illustrated
Booklet Describing Hafteras
and Ocracoke Islands

North Cardinals fabulous Outer
Banks, until a few years ago iso-
lated islands known to but a few
as vacation areas, are changing
rapidly under the impact of i'm
proved access and the develop
ment of the nations only National
Seashore.
The Mays Head area, largest
resort concentration on the Outer
Banks, has a building boom. A
rash of motor court construction
has broken out on the southern end
of Hatteras Island. Free ferry
service across Oregon Inlet has
been stepped up. A survey has
been completed for a paved road
the length of Ocracoke, still the
most isolated island of the group.
The sports fishing fleet at Oregon
Inlet, famous for channel bass,
has tripled in size.
The Outer Banks retain much of
their original isolation outside
developed beach resorts like Mays
Head, Kill Devil Hills and Kitty
Hawk. There is some night life at
these resorts in the form of bingo
and dancing, but on Hatteras and
Ocracoke Islands vacationists find
fabulous fishing as the principal
entertainment. The National Park
Service is building two bathing
areas and two museums at Hat
teras and Bodie lighthouses, but
development of the National Sea-
shore, with it's 70 miles of ocean
beaches, is in its early stages.
There has been boomlet of mo-
tor courts and cafe building on the
southern half of Hatteras Island,
but accommodations are simple
and rates relatively low. Ocracoke
has two frame hotels and some
lodges and cottages. Accommoda-
tions there are generally less
elaborate and less expensive than
at mainland resorts.
Ocracoke is the place to go to
"get away from it all". Don't ex-
pect to find too many rooms with
private bath or city hotel service.
No alcoholic beverages may be
sold legally on either Ocracoke or
Hatteras islands, but importation
up to one gallon a person is legal.

revised for 1855 with ferry sched-
ules, information about Outer
Banks attractions and how to get
there, what to wear, ETC., may be

BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU
LEAVE GLASS CONTAINERS

AS the heat of summer approach
es,> it would be well for everyone
to be careful about leaving glass
bottles and other containers where
the suns rays can reflect on them
and start a blaze.
Last Sunday afternoon the Mays
Head cottage of Mrs. Mary F.
Feberee of Norfolk caught fire
near the floor of the porch, where
a glass bottle had been left. A next
door neighbor saw the blaze and
warned Mrs. Ferebee and her fam
lily and the blaze was extinguished
with hose before any great
amount of damage had been done.
A hole was burned in the porch
shingles, but had no one been at
home or nearby the single house
might have easily been destroyed.
