“Russian General”
Lamlmsts F.B.I.
Ancient Methods
WASHINGTON, t/P> — A hall
full of policemen failed to pene
trate the disguise of a fake Rus
sian general who made a speech
at an FBI banquet Wednesday
night.
Introduced as “Gen. Feodor
Tanieff,” chief of the N.K.V.D. or
Russian security police, the pho
ney general brought tempers to
the boiling point with his dispara
ging remarks on the American
capitalist systems.
m
He launched into a tirade
against the FBI for using “old
fashioned Hawkshaw methods”
and hinted that an American po
liceman couldn’t find a peach .in
Georgia.
About the time the hissing be
gan, Ole Olsen of the Olsen and
Johnson comedy team silenced the
speaker by squirting him with
seltzer, pouring a pitcher of ice
water on him, and mashing a cus
• tard pie in his face. The “general”
was an Olsen-Johnson stooge.
The banquet guests were peace
officers from all over the coun
try, gathered for an FBI training
course.

SEATTLE. (/Pi — Reports iha:
the half-sunken derelict bow sec
tion of the tanker Donbass, a part
or this country’s lend-lease pio
gram to Russia, has reverted to
the U. S. maritime commission,
were confirmed yesterday by G.
H. Wagner, assistant Pacific Coat*
director for the commission.
The Donbass broke in two in an
Aleutian storm in February, 1946.
with the loss of 15 So ue* crew
members.
The ha If-ship was towed into
Susan Bay near Stanwood, VYa*h..
a year < r>d a half ago and. tn •
Past 'nlfi igencer said, hid ;.c
cumulated approximately $25,000
in watchmen’s fees when the Rus
sians let it go.
Since tne maritime commission
took it over this week, the guard
force has been cut from five
watchmen to one.
The after half of the ship was
sold at Eureka, Calif., for use as
i power plant. But as for the bow
section Wagner commented:
“I'm sure I don’t know what we
are going to do with the darned
thing.”

consolidated and we are going to
have to fight harder to get it
through the Senate,” Peden said.
The measure, he said; has three
principal purposes:
‘‘First, We have got to have
Alaska as one of our important
lines of defense and we have got
to settle it for that reason.
“Secondly, it will provide an
outlet for the war veteran who
wants to work for himself.
“Then it will tend to develop
Alaskan resources.
“If we never populate Alaska
the resources will never be devel
oped.”
The passage of legislation last
session authorizing leasing of a
large area of national forest lands
in Southeastern Alaska to pulp
and paper mill interests “has han
dicapped us somewhat,” Peden
said. Part of the land involved is
in the area he and Lemke would
have homesteaded, he added.
The agriculture and interior de
partments have been cool to the
Lemke-Peden bill, he said, be
cause it included the national for
ests.
Proffered Rent
Increase Causes
Landlord Trouble !
—
ST. PAUL, Minn. </P)—The rent
of Mrs. Frank Paul’s five-room
heated upper duplex remained at
$35 per month yesterday despite (
the efforts of her tenants to pay
a $15 monthly increase because
they said they knew the price of (
coal and other commodities had
gone up.
Happy over the voluntary ges
ture of the tenants, Mr. and Mrs.!
Harry Redmann, Mrs. Paul made
the story public only to receive a
stern letter from Paul A. Van
strum, federal area rent director.
Vanstrum advised Mrs. Paul
that her tenants in proffering the
raise made her subject to a suit
for treble damages and that the
housing expediter might also com
mence action if the overcharge
were accepted.
After returning the $15 Mrs.
Paul said she was sorry over all
the commotion.
“We didn’t ask for the $15,” she
declared, “and my husband and I
won’t even accept the $5.25 we’re
told is legal under the new rent
law Congress passed, because we
want to keep these good tenants,
the Redmanns, government or no
government.”

MOONLIGHT MAKES
FIREMEN MAP
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (/P)—
San Mateo county firemen are
still getting up at midnight to go
look at moonbeams, but they don't
like it. Assistant Fire Warden Er
nest Werder said fog rolls over a
high ridge, “bounces” back up
from a lake in the valley below—
and that moonlight striking the
clouds from above makes them re
semble glare and smoke of a fire.
So some one always turns in an
alarm.
