This One-Way
World Of Ours
What a swell old world this
could be, if we had two-way tele
phone service to Moscow! We
mean M. E. Schroeder’s kind of
telephone service. Plain Citizen
Schroeder is a railroad fireman.
He lives in Oelwein, la. At two
o’clock the other morning he got
in off his run and felt like calling
up Foreign Minister Molotov at
the Kremlin? So he did.
Why? If you must know, that’s
Schroeder’s business Nobody
questioned it but the operator and
she just thought he was kidding.
Nobody else listened hi on this
end of the line save Schroeders
landlady—curious soul. It’s lucky
she did or we’d never have heard
about it. Finally Molotov was
reached. a Russian accent heavy
with suspicion he asked if Schroe
der wanted to talk politics or
world affairs. Nope. Schroeder
just wanted to talk about rail
roads. Molotov thawed, asked him
where Iowa was and turned him
over to some secretaries who were
jus;t dying to know about Holly
wood. When they found out
Schroeder wanted to be sociable
they felt the same way.
Try hard, now, not to shudder
as you think what would happen
to Plain Citizen Tovarich, Russian
railroader, if he told the Moscow
operator to get him Secretary
Marshall in Washington. Would
the call go through? Would the
NVKD agents swooping down to
surround his boarding house be
lieve Comrade Tovarich didn’t
want to talk politics? Would they
swallow his story of iust feeling
like a* sociable chat about choo
choos?

Eisler Gets Largest
Contempt Sentence
WASHINGTON. (/P) — Gerhart
E'sler. Communist, today drew
the maximum federal court penal
ty of a year in prison and $1,000
fine for contempt of Congress.
Federal district court justice
Alexander Holtzoff passed the
sentence after denying a motion
for a new trial and a dramatic
personal plea for mercy from Eis
ler, who has been described in
Congress as the “No. 1 Soviet
Commissor” in this country.
Eisler was convicted June 10 of
contempt in refusing to take an
oath for testimony before the
House committee on un-American
activities last February 6.
In his plea for leniency, Eisler
said he was a European anti-Fas
cist political refugee. He loudly
protested that he was “a victim
of a witch-hunting hysteria in this
country, instigated and encour
aged "by the un-American activi
ties committee.”
FIREWEED GOOD EITHER
RAW OR COOKED
The JUne edition of the Alaska i
Farmer, published by the Depart- j
ment of Agriculture, calls to the
attention of Alaskans that the
common Fireweed found in north-1
era Alaska is edible either raw or
cooked, and the young tender I
leaves are very satisfactory used
as lettuce in a sandwich or chop
ped in a raw salad. The young
flower spikes also can be used and j
add color to the salad, the article
i states.

Sentence Stale
Dept. Employee
WASHINGTON. (/P> — Carl A.
Marzani, 35, Italian born former
state department subofficial, was
sentenced today to one to three
years in prison on a charge of hid
ing Communist party affiliations •
in a federal loyalty test.
The sentence was imposed by
federal district court judge Rich
mond B. Keech, who refused to
permit Marzani’s release on bond
pending an appeal. •
Marzani, a resident of Arling
ton, Va., was convicted May 22 on
all 11 counts of an indictment.
The maximum penalty that could
have been assessed was 10 year’s
imprisonment and $10,000 fine on
each count.
In a statement issued after the
sentencing,, Marzani reiterated his
professions of innocence and de
clared the trial was a “travesty of
justice.”
ALASKANS UNAFFECTED BY
RECENT MARITIME STRIKE
Word received by T. J. Keating,
local agent of the Alaska Steam
ship Company, states that the re
cent maritime labor flare-up
caused only a slight delay to Alas
ka shipping.
With the exception of a 24-hour
delay in the sailing of the SS De
nali, and a 11-hour delay to the
sailing of the SS Baranof, all
ships in port continued to load
their cargo and sailed.
This was one maritime labor
dispute that has not hurt Alaska
shippers.
