'59ers Encounter
 Major Troubles In 4O-BelOw Weather

FORT NELSON, B. C., R-The Detroit 59ers have had their share of troubles at this northern Brit ish Columbia town of 200 persons But they learned that help is on the way.
 The caravans 1884 moving van fell apart Wednesday. It had been overloaded from the start, March 5, when the Alaska bound caravan left Detroit.
 Curtis Potter of Royal Oak, Mich, had given the van to the pioneers. Now he has agreed to pay the tab for a national moving company to pick up the vans load. The new truck is expected to catch the group by Friday.
 "I started something and I guess I have to see it through" said Potter back in Michigan.
 Recalling they could use money, Harry Tacina of Detroit, who plans to make the journey to Alaska in June, has sent them $500.
 The group had hoped to reach their new homesteads by the end of this week, but they are several days behind schedule.
 One of the pioneers, Leroy Mac Donald, travelled ahead of the car avan to take his two sons to a hos pital in Whitehorse. The children, with frostbitten feet, were de- scribed by hospital attendants as in good condition.
 Temperatures in the Whitehorse area were around 40 degrees be- low zero.
 Other troubles faced by the group are these: Their leader, Ron Jacobowitz, left the group to seek a hospital for his ailing wife; camping is an ordeal in the sub zero weather; foodstuffs have frozen, bursting their glass con- tainers; vehicles fail to start be- cause of the bitter cold, and the combined difficulties are adding to the tension among the 59ers.

Plumbers Union
 Fights for Hiring |Of Alaska Members

JUNEAU, R - Officials of the plumbers union in Alaska and Seattle were in sharp disagree ment yesterday over the awarding of jurisdiction over jobs in 'cer- tain areas of Alaska to Seattle Local 32 by the unions interna- tional. +>
 The Alaska Employment Se- curity Commission touched off an exchange by sending protest to Peter Shoemann, general presi- dent of the union, against award. ing jurisdiction to the Seattle local.
 The commission said 11O mem- bers of the Fairbanks local and! 28 members of the Anchorage To- cal were unemployed because the Seattle local had jurisiction over work at Sitka and in the Aleu- tians.
 Grant A. Woods, business man. ager of Local 32, said one reason for the action was that there were not nearly enough plumbers in Alaska to man the projects. He said Local 32 also has about 200 unemployed members. X
 Tom Canafax of Fairbanks, a member of the employment com mission and also of the plumbers union, said Alaska locals had no trouble manning such major jobs as the DEW Line and the White Alice communications projects.
 Canafax said the Alaska lecals have 800 members while the Se- attle local has 5000, thus much smaller percentage of unemploy- ment.
 we are not interested in; how many are unemployed in Seattle" said Henry Hedberg, legislative representative of the Alaska LHbOr Council. we are interested in how many are unemployed in Alaska"

NY Enjoined From Sales of Alaska Stock.

NEW YORK, uR - An injunc- ton against sale of stock in cor poration organized to participate in the industrial growth" of the new state of Alaska was an- nounctd Thursday by New York State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz.
 The order names the Alaska Building Supply & Equipment Rental Corp. of Brooklyn, and bars the corporation from engag- ing in the securities. business in New York state. ss'eaz5
 Myron Margulies, organizer and president of the corporation and owner of a Brooklyn lunch eonette, consented to issuance of the injunction against the cor poration.
 An affidavit filed in court by Lefkowitz's office said Margulies circulated a prospectus offering stock in the corporation last De- cernber.
 "The corporation" the affida- wit states, twas represented in the circular as dealing in business supplies and rental of equipment, primarily to do business in Alaska
 "The complete lack of experi- ence and background for so sub stantial an undertaking would inn peril any money invested in this insubstantial enterprise"
 The affidavit said the president of the corporation testified that it had a total of $34 in its bank account.

 He said he felt some extension of the program should be pro- vided but said he would prefer a two-year prolongment to point up the need for an "honest-to- goodness, down-to- earth study" of manpower needs and utiliza- ton.
 Noting the changes which scientific advances have made in the military situation, Bartlett asked:
 Gan it be sensible to assume that in the midst of so vast a re- doing, manpower procurement policies alone must remain static, unimproved, even unquestioned?"

ASTRONOMY NOTES By OLAF HALVERSON

The bright planet. Venus shin ing in the southwestern sky closely resembles the earth in size, mass and distance from the sun. Gravity at it's surface is 85 per cent of its value on the earth's surface. The velocity of escape is high enough to retain an atmosphere. There is definite evidence that Venus has an at mosphere comparable in abun- dance with the earth's.
 Twilight effects are observed. The reflecting power of the pla- net is so high that it suggests that the sunlight is reflected by a cloudy atmosphere.
 Measurements give the temper ature of -25 degrees centigrade, which indicates that the radiation that is measured comes from high levels of its atmosphere. In ad- dition, the planets surface is in- visible.
 Some astronomers have glimpsed extremely faint mark ingS on the disk of Venus. Photo graphs through red filters show no markings at all.

 Through Washington
By FRANK w. VAILLE JAP Special Washington Service,

l WASHINGTON, R - Hawaii has taken Alaska's place as the youngest of states but the drive that brought the 5Oth star to the flag had little of the drama-and none of the suspense-surround- ing the addition of No. 49. Final approval of the Hawaii bill on successive days by the Senate and the House probably set a legislative speed record for admission acts. It was only one of the contrasts with the action on Alaska.
 Admission of the island terri tory had nothing to match Alas ka's protracted wait before the House Rules Committee and it's eventual precedent-setting man. euver by-passing that powerful group.
 Neither did it have the frustra- tions of the long repititious speeches thrown at Alaska in the Senate and the frequent quorum calls of House foes, or the agon- izing points of order and amend ments devised by an experienced opposition.
 And lastly, the Hawaii action had nothing to compare with the drama and suspense of that event ful 24 hours in which the House voted tentatively to kill the Alas ka bill and then, in hushed Chamber, voted the next day to rescind it's action.

Leo O'Brien, the New York Democrat who piloted the Alaska and Hawaii bills through the House, says he plans now Ito sit back in the corner and knit" Passage of the two statehood bills leaves O'Brien's once busy Territories subcommittee with jurisdiction only over bills deal ing with Guam, Virgin Islands and the Pacific trust territory.
 His counterpart on the other side of the capitol, Sen. Henry Jackson D-Wash), is in the same shape.
 Bartlett, guest on the tele- vision show of Rep. Thomas Pelly, gave his endorsement to the Se- attle Congressman's efforts to dis perse Navy fleet units along the entire West Coast including Alas ka rather than have them concen- trated in Southern California waters.
 "We must work on that" Bart lett said, ''because from the de- fense standpoint alone concen- tration, as we know, is most in- advisable. And if the economy If Seattle for example, is to be aided by such a dispersal, that's fine. And if the economy of Kodiak, headquarters of the 17th Naval District, would be aided by such dispersal, that's fine, too. But t ought to be done I think Kodiak s got a rowboat for its fleet now" " 1

now "for obvious reasons"
The former information ON

spoke English with assurance.
Il chose to seek the protec-

Mr.. Kaznacheev said Soviet

Asked If the embassies of
Soviet Russia and Red China

activities in Burma" He said
he believed the main role was
being taken by Red China.
