BERTRAND RUSSELL’S PREDICTIONS
Bertrand Russell, nearly seventy-nine, who re
ceived the Nobel Prize for Literature last year, pro
phesies that before the end of the present century
“unless something unforeseeable occurs,” one of three
possibilities will occur:
(1) “The end of human life, perhaps of all life
on our plant.
(2) “A reversion to barbarism after a catastrophic
diminution of the population of the globe.
(3) “A unification of the world under a single
government, possessing a monopoly of all the major
weapons of war.”
The philosopher and mathematician admits that
he would naturally prefer the last alternative, .pro
vided that it took place under United States, rather
than Russian, auspices.
YUGOSLAVIA REQUESTS ARMS AID
The anti-Moscow Communist government of Yugo
slavia made its first request for military equipment
from the United States, Britain and France about a
month ago. The matter was kept secret but informed
sources suggest that the western powers have set up
a joint committee to pass on Marshal Tito’s request.
The Yugoslavian leader seeks artillery, tanks,
small arms, communications equipment against the
threat of invasion by Russian and satellite troops. Ac
cording to reports, he does not believe that any in
vasion is imminent at the present time but wishes to
modernize his army and step up his defensive fire
power against emergencies.
While no public decision has been made, it is gen
erally assumed that the United States and the other
powers will lend a favorable ear to the request from
Yugoslavia. While Communist in form, the govern
ment of Marshal Tito has been nationalist in loyalty,
questioning the right of the Russians, as the Commun
ist leaders, to call the tune for all other Communist
countries. The Yugoslavian position is taken as
“heresy” by the Moscow Communists and the break
between the leaders of the two countries is described
as basic and permanent.
If you have any business of your own, always re
member that nobody else is looking after it.
A corporal’s natural instinct is something that
tells him he is right whether he is or not.—Gosport.

Anchorage Is
Overrun With
Influx Jobseekers
ANCHORAGE, {/P)—A modem
version of the Klondike rush has
made this booming military cen
ter a city without a spare cot. It
has a major housing headache.
The premature influx of hope
ful job-seekers has brought these
housing problems, for example:
Five persons have been sleep
ing nightly of late in the city
courtroom. Others sleep in their
automobiles, beneath the bleach
ers at the ball park, in the shelter
of building materials piled *be
s i d e construction projects, in
small boats^hn the beach, in the
brush area “jungles” at the edge
of 'the city.
Recent arrests for vagrancy also
have increased as a mounting
number of job-hunters who came
north in high hope, find their cash
reserves running out.
The Anchorage Mission Home
has been full £o overflowing since
January.
The Rev. Tom Edmondson, who
manages the home, described the
acute situation as “the biggest
thing I’ve seen in 18 years of
this work”
“People are coming ip us and
begging for a place to sleep. They
are sober, industrious people who
have been without sleep for two
or three days.”
The lure that has brought work
ers to the area is the huge mili
tary oonstructiotti program that is
started for this summer. Many
were added to the community bur
den by mysterious advertisements
in stateside papers which made it
sound like an* economic “promised
land*’ for laborers. Disillusion
ment waited at the end of the
northern trail.
They came top early aftd, local
authorities say, they expected to
make top much.
Some 'have held out for weeks
or months, waiting and hoping to
hit the jackpot. Others have gone
broke or given up and returned
home.
Supply Russia Micro-Film
Copies of Records of Russ-,
American Co., 1802-1867
WASHINGTON, (^—Senator
Cain CR-Wash) says the State De
partment has confirmed that it is
providing Russia with informa
tion on Alaska—but it isn’t what
you’d describe as up-to-date dope.
It’s all information and records
on the territory prior to 1867.
Cain told a Seattle P-I corres
pondent about it. The Senator had
asked the State Department about
a report that Soviet Russia was
requesting and getting the in
formation.
A State Department official re
plied that the United States is
obligated under the Convention of
1867, under which Alaska was
purchased. The official said the
records are micro-film copies of
records of the Russdan-American
Company for the period 1802-1867.
He said the materials included
the following papers:
Letters received by the gover
nors-general (of Alaska) 1802 to
1867; letters sent by them; logs
of Russian - American Co. ships
1853-67; journals of exploring ex
peditions, 1842-64.
Cain told (the reporter the last
item interested him particularly
because “no doubt the Russians
explored Alaska rather thorough
ly during the more than half cen
tury they occupied and exploited
it.”

Britain Readies Trouble
Shooting Parachute Group
LONDON, (/P)—‘Britain told its
trouble-shooting 16th Independent
Parachute Brigade Group today to
bring itself at once to a state of
readiness.
Simultaneously Foreign Secre
tary Herbert Morrison—interrupt
ing his Whitsun holiday on the j
Isle of Wight—kept in touch with
the foreign office by phon^ on the
latest developments in Iran.
There was speculation that the
two events were connected, and
that Britain was ready to make a
strong stand, if necessary, to hold
its rich oil concession in Iran.
But this speculation was with
out official confirmation. A War
Office spokesman stressed that the
parachute brigade was not under
sailing orders. He described the ^
alerting order as routine War Of
fice business.
Some sections of the British
press have been demanding g
stronger aittitude toward Iran. The
line taken by ithese publications
is that Iran’s oil is so important
to Britain and the Atlantic Pow
ers that the British should resist
any Attempt by Iranian authori
ties to take over the installations
of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Com
pany, as Iran’s parliament has
voted to do.
