Soviet Industrial Experts Pulling Out of Red China

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, R - Chinese industrial production is menaced after continuous depar- lures of Soviet experts from Red China, Brank Bogunovic, special correspondent of the Yugoslav official agency Tanjung said to- day in a report from Peiping.
 For several days, he wrote, spe- cial trains have left Peiping with Soviet experts on their way home. It was authoritatively announced in Peiping, Tanjung's report said, that their terms have expired" and that they are leaving after completing their obligations.
 Diplomatic observers in Bel grade view this development as resulting from growing discrepan- cies between theological attitudes assume by the Soviet Union and Red China.

Guard Officers Meeting Plans Strong Defense

The National Guard Officers Association Conference opened Saturday morning in the Nome School auditorium, with about 100 officers and distinguished visitors in attendance.
 The opening address was made by General w. H. Harrison, fol- lowing a welcome by Mayor Stef fen Andersen. General Harrison praised the excellent work done by the Alaska National Guard under Brig. Gen. Thomas Carroll these past three years, stating that the fine record of the 1st and End Scout Battalions is one to be proud of, and one which is keenly watched by all the country, due to the proximity of Alaska to Russia
 He stated that during the past year there were many overtures for disarmament, and much in- terest and hope was shown inter nationally, so much so that it in- fluenced the thinking on the de- fense program There were warn ings that there had been no basic changes in the land of Commit nism, which would like to dom mate the world. He said he was relieved that the National Guard did not lessen it's program or be- lieve it possible to disarm at this time.
 Since then, Russia has reversed itself, as is shown in Cuba and its attack on the Monroe Doctrine. Defense efforts must be increased and the program must have bal ance and be flexible, he explained, indicating that we must be ready to repulse any kind of attack at any time.
 As the peace of the free world continues to be threatened, he continued, the stronger must be our defenses.
 Saturday evening the National Guard was host to invited towns people at a cocktail party at the Boring Sea Club.
 Meetings and side trips were scheduled for Sunday, culminat- ing in a formal banquet in the evening, and the installation of new officers.
 At the banquet, a parka made by the Jonas Bros. skin sewers, was presented to Maj, Gen. w. H. Harrison by the Alaska National Guard officers. Gen. Harrison is president of the National Guard Officers Association of the United States.
 Col. w. T. Elmore was elected president of the Alaska Guard Officers Association.
 All of the officers attending the convention left this morning. The group aboard the Convair plane went to Anchorage, from where they will go to Juneau, and then to Washington, D C. Three Air Guard GIBBS were used to air lift the others and some staff cars back to their posts.

Top Six Alters Look
For Greener Pastures

To illustrate the work of
their 2,250,000 fellow members,
six of the Nations top All
Club members yesterday de-
scribed their own careers as
junior farmers.
1t turned out that even at
its best, life hasn't always been
one blue ribbon after another.
Ruefully, the six confessed
to raising squash too hard and
bumpy to win so much as a
second glance from the county
fair judge. One owned up to a
calf that chose to hide in a
ferris wheel rather than enter
the show ring.
Surprisingly, the young
farmers indicated, keeping
them down on the farm is just
as hard as it ever was. One
boy wants to be an entomolo-
giSt, one girl has decided the
foreign service holds more
allure than the farm, and an
other boy has chosen farm
economics as his career.
But they don't feel like de-
serters. Farming" they say,
is getting too big" The one
man operation is doomed in
the face of mass-production
techniques. they believe, and
today'S farmer has to be an
executive.

He said he sees no reason

Mr.. Chennault, who resigned

so far as crime is concerned,

Laughlin said today.
Criminals don't see that in
visible line as they cross from
one jurisdiction to another"
he said.
He pointed out that a Grim
iral may be arrested for a
crime in the District and the
City of Alexandria might not
even know about it, though
police there may be looking
for the same criminal.
Thus, the combination of a
joint communications system
and a co-ordinated police squad
could overcome this difficulty.
The formation of a police

squad that could cross juris-
dictional lines would not pre-
sent any major legal problems,
Mr.. Mclaughlin said.
He pointed out that when
District police, for instance,
accompany distinguished Wis
ltorS INTO other Jurisdictions
they are often given special
authority to operate outside the

The commissioner suggested
that members of the proposed
crime squad could be deputized
to operate in all jurisdictions in
the Washington area.
And he visualized that
though policemen assigned to
such a squad might only op-
crate on special cases at first.
that eventually such assign
ment could develop into a full
time job"
Records Proposal
Coincident with the forma-
tion of such a squad would be
the development, perhaps in
the District, of "a single sys-
tenn of criminal records for
all Jurisdictions here, the COM
missioner said.
Mr.. Chennault has suggested
that his former immediate su-
perior, Capt. Michael j. Ma
haney, should head any new
crime squad formed. Capt.
Mahaney, a 40-year police
force veteran, heads the Spe-
cial Investigations Squad which
checks on suspected subverSives
and handles missing persons
cases.
Commissioner Mclaughlin
said the question of who might
head the area-wide squad
would be left up to Chief Muir
ray to work out with other
police chiefs on the subcom-
mittee.
And the commissioner con-
ceded that his proposal would
