Spy Charges Are
Not Authentic
Savs Aeheson
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary 1
of State Aeheson said today spy
charges brought by Czechoslovak
ia’s communist government against
U. S. embassy employees in
Prague are “obviously trumped
up.”
He announced, however, that
the United States had “acceded to
the request” to withdraw two ac
cused American diplomats from
their assignments in Prague. He
said that the embassy is attempt
ing to see a third American repre-1
sentative, who lacked diplomatic
status and who was questioned
Friday by the Czech government
on spy charges.
The two regular diplomats
whose recall the Czechs demanded
on 24-hour notice are John G.
Heyn, assistant attache in the po
litical department, and Isaac Patch
the political attache. The man
thrown into prison is Samuel
Mervn, embassy clerk, who has
been held incommunicado since
Friday.
Acheson disclosed that the state
department is preparing what he
called a communication—evident
ly a strong note of protest—to be
delivered to the Czech government
but he said that no protest had
been made yet.
This government's efforts, he
said, have been directed toward
getting an embassy representative
into prisonto see Meryn.

Truman Si^na
Alaska Kail Link
Survey Bill
WASHINGTON. (A1)—President
Truman signed a bill today which
may lead to an eventual railroad
link between the United States
and Alaska.
The legislation authorizes him
to enter into an agreement with
Canada for a survey to determine
the best route for such a link.
Theer now is a 1,400-mile gap
between Canada’s railroad system
and the government-owned Alaska
Railroad. The Senate foreign rela
tions committee reported the rail
road link is needed because pres
ent water and highway routes are
inadequate to serve Alaska.
Specifically the legislation calls
for a location survey for a railroad
from Prince George, B. C., to Fair
banks, Alaska, wheer it would
connect with the Alaska Railroad.
This would be a northerly ex
tension of the British Columbia
government’s Pacific Great East
ern railway which now rambles
347 miles through B. C. from
Quamish to Quesnel.
The British Columbia govern
ment has proposed to extend the
southern terminal of the Pacific
Great Eastern—now at Quamish—
40 miles south to Vancouver.
There it would connect with lines
running up from the United States.
British Columbia also may con
struct 80 miles of rail to run its
line north from Quesnel to Prince
George.
Army engineers estimated seven
years ago it would cost $112,000,
000 to build the missing link. Sen
ator-Magnuson <D.-Wash.) said re
cently the cost now would be close
to $200,000,000. He and Rep. Jack
son (D.-Wash.) authored the sur
vey measure.
|“Miss Kodiak"*
Visits Seattle
SEATTLE, i/P) — The 16-vear
old “Queen” of Kodiak is enjoying
the sights of the city on a two
week trip as the winner of her
| home town popularity contest.
I “I suppose it’s silly,” Marie
Swensen told a newspaper report
er, “but I rode for about an hour
on the escalators in one of the big
stores. I may go back for another
ride this afternoon.”
Other “firsts” for her have in
cluded: eating cotton candy; visit
ing a zoo; seeing a football game.
The Kodiak-born girl was in
Seattle before the war, but, she
says, “that didn’t count. I was too
young then and I was in the hos
pital all the time and couldn’t get
around.”
SMALL DAMAGE IN CABIN
FIRE TUESDAY
The fire department was called
out yesterday afternoon to a small
cabin between Moore and Met tier
Way owned by Fire Chief Laws
and occupied by Martha Bowen
and Hannah Walters. The fire
started in a wastepaper basket and
burned up the wall resulting in a
loss of an estimated $300.00 ac
cording to theowner.
The building had been moved
recently to that location and was
not insured.
Vera Nelson, popular clerk of
the N. C. Co. and former Queen of
Nome, departed yesterday with
Wien Airlines with Morton Tah
lor her singing date for Hollywood
as guest of the “Truth or Conse
quences” program on whose
broadcast she will be heard next
Saturday afternoon.
