The third process for making the

area OF compromise between an alb

supported market.
BY supporting prices at a Level
which IS low enough to permit the
free market to operate without inter-
ference except in the case Of severe
price drops. the benefits of both may
be obtained wit h out sacrificing
either Supports would thus serve as
net does under trapeZe per.
formers. While the act goes on
without interference the actors are
protected in case they fall. Thus
the actors are challenged to do their
best and give the spectators THEN

50 Leap From Windows as Smoke : Fills Fairbanks Largest Building

FAIRBANKS, tR-Nearly 50 persons escaped by leaping into nets or climbing down shaky lad ders in 15 below weather yester- day as a midday fire sent clouds of acrid smoke swirling through the city's largest apartment building.
 One man died and IA others were injured, including two wom- en whose spines were fractured as they leaped into fire nets. The others were overcome by smoke or suffered cuts.
 More than 300 persons were trapped in their rooms for time in the new, nine-story Northward building. Although the fire was confined to the basement where it started about 11:45 a.m., heavy clouds of choking smoke swept up elevator shafts and stairWells to fill the halls and seep into apartments.
 Stanley A. Davis, apartment manager, said after the fire that nobody who stuck to their rooms was in danger" The building, largest in Fairbanks, is fireproof, he said,

Hollywood Star Humphrey Bogart
 Dies al 56 of Cancer of the Esophagus

His physician said it was a spread of the original malignancy that brought on death.
 Unlike most victims of cancer in the throat area, Bogart's voice was not affected. Until the final coma, it was the same old Bogart bark that used to make the toughest screen hoodlums drop the gun.
 Bogart, tho dying, had been comfortable in his last days. A recent operation had removed some scar tissue on nerve and given him much relief.
 Funeral arrangements, called for burial Wednesday or Thurs day at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, final resting place of many a movie great. Mrs. Bogart asked that flowers be omitted and that money instead be sent to the American Cancer Society.

HOLLYWOOD, R-Humphrey Bogart, one of the movies great est talents and certainly it's most non conforming non-conformists, died today of cancer of the esoph- agus. He was 56.
 As late as Saturday night, Bogie was still Bogie. Talking optimis- tically with friends, between cus- tomary scotches, he gave TO sign the end was so near.
 But Sunday morning he sank into a coma from which he never revived. The end came at 2:10 a m. with one final deep sigh. At his bedside was his wife, actress Lauren Bacall.
 Asleep nearby in the sprawling Holmby Hills manse were the two Bogart children, Stephen, 8, and Leslie, 4.
 And thus cancer killed off the Academy Award winning star.

Fear Reigns in Hungary as Reds Crack Down to Prevent Rebellion

papers told the Hungarians about the strikes and demonstrations and said police finally were forced to open fire on the workers "'in self defense"
 Hungarian informants told West ern newsmen that one to five per sons were killed by bullets of Communist militia at the big Csepel industrial complex, on a Danube River island south of the city.
 Some 5000 of the 38,OO0 Csepel workers struck in protest against mass layoffs decreed by the gov ernment of Kadar.
 The official version in the Red press said only one worker was killed.
 Police also fired into the air to break up another demonstration by 1000 workers at the Gang railway car works in southeast Budapest, the papers said. The trade union organ Napakarat said the railway car workers were jus tified in their strike because ssthe wrong wage list was posted" at the factory.

a man who sought to escape by climbing to the building roof, only to find the door locked against him. He died on the stair way. Bremen identified him as William Stebbins, owner of a bar and a prominent West Coast res taurant owner
 A large crowd trampling the deep snow outside the building in the sub-zero weather thrilled at the scores of rescues by fire men from Fairbanks and Ladd Air Force Base.

By CARL HARTMAN

BUDAPEST, R-The govern ment cracked down anew Satur- day to head off the possibility that renewed labor and student unrest might signal the renewal of open rebellion.
 It was apparent the Soviet inn posed regime of Premier Janos Kadar feared workers demon strations' that swept Budapest the day before could lead to new fighting. One government-con- trolled paper said:
 Fear reigns in Hungary :. nobody knows if tomorrow might not bring another bloody revolu tion."
 A student rally was postponed after eight of it's anti-Communist leaders were reported seized by the Communist police. It was stu derlts who sparked the Oct. 23 anti-C -Communist revolution. They had planned a rally to demand onee again that Russian troops withdraw from Hungary and that free elections be held.
