U. S. Train Service
Ordered Cut
• WASHINGTON, (JP)—The gov
ernment today ordered a 25 per
Cent reduction in coal-burning
passenger train service because of
the coal mine shutdown.
The office of defense transpor
tation order is effective at mid
night next Sunday March 21.
It was issued under the war
time powers which the ODT still
retains.
The agency said the step was
necessary because “railroad coal
stocks today are considerably
lower than they have been on pre
vious occasions when stoppages in
coal production have interfered
with railroad operations.”
The bureau of mines reported
{wo days ago that coal stocks gen
erally were at a dangerously low
level.
At the time the ODT acted, the
government was making other
moves to end the work stoppage
which already has forced the steel
industry to cut operations.
Federal conciliation chief Cyrus
S. Ching met with Ezra Van Horn,
spokesman for the mine operators,
and arranged to talk later with
John L. Lewis, chief of the UMW.

Mixed Foreign
Reactions To
Truman Talk
(Continued from Page One)
Communist - dominated People’s
Democratic party, said “Truman
is loading the guns—calls for uni
v e r s a 1 military training and
threatens with direct action.”
The Budapest Communist news
paper Szabadnet said:
“The Truman speech is nothing
but a cheap electioneering truck.
The London foreign office said
Britain “warmly welcomed” the
President’s speech, “in particular
the emphasis on the essentially de
fensive character of the American
policy.”
Premier Themistokles Souphou
lis of Greece, which has been get
ting United States military aid,
said in Athens the address consti
tuted not only hope but assurance
given all peoples of the world that
their freedom and independence
will be protected.”
Czechoslovakia’s com m u n i s t
press gave scant attention to the
speech, and much of tYiat was re
proachful. But The people showed
a lively interest. Many listened j
eagerly to foreign broadcasts. 1
PIONEER ELECT FRANK
| DUFRESNE HONORARY
I MEMBER
The Pioneers of Alaska at their
regular meeting last Wednesday
1 elected Frank Dufresne to honor
ary membership in the order for
recognition of his years of fine
service to the Territory.
Igloo No. 1 can rightfully claim
him as he first came to Alaska
when he arrived in Nome in 1920
to visit his uncle the late Charles
Rice. He started out by staking a
claim near Teller but found that
he was more interested in the wild
game than the gold.
After serving as deputy mar
shall for a year he entered the bio
logical survey and later the Alas
ka game commission where he
was active for 22 years. While in
Nome he married an Alaskan girl,
Klondie Woofter and his son was
born here. He is now chief of in
formation for the fish and wild
life commission with offices in
Chicago, 111.
The Pioneers have been active
the past two weeks on a member
ship drive with the entire order
divided into competitive teams to
see who can find the most pion
eers who are not members. Seven
were elected to membership at the
meeting.
