Truman Will iNot j
Go To Moscow
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman said yesterday he will
never-go to Moscow as long as he
is President but will co-operate,
in any move to preserve the peace.
Mr. Truman told his news con
ference he is for any plan to util
ize the United Nations in preserv- ‘
ing the peace.
He did not comment directly,
however, on a proposal by chair
man McMahon of the joint Con
gressional atomic energy commit-,
tee.
McMahon called in a Senate
speech Wednesday for the western
powers to work out a program for
peace and then for the U. N. to
hold an unprecedented session in
Moscow.
Mr. Truman made clear that his
cooperation will never involve
any trip by him to Moscow as
long as he is President.
But, he said he would like to
visit Moscow after he is through
being President. Under question
ing, he refused to say when that
might be.
The President said his offer to
hold peace talks in the United
States is always open.

Work l or Alaska
((/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (A») — Senator
Cain 'R.-Wash.) said today he is
proud of the commendation sent
him by the Fairbanks, Alaska,
Central Labor Council for his
work in getting two Alaskan bills
passed.
The measures were the Alaska
Housing Act, which authorized
funds for the Territory’s housing
program, and the bill to authorize
a $70,000,000 public works pro
gram to enable communities and
the Territory to construct com
munity facilities.
Cain as a member of the Senate
banking committee had charge of
the Alaska Housing Act and as a
member of the Senate public
works committee supported the
community facilities program.
A telegram signed by W. P.
Laughlin, secretary of the labor
council representing 4,500 mem
bers said:
"The Fairbanks Central Labor
Council wishes to sincerely com
mend and thank you for your
progressive action in regard to the

KAMLOOPS, B. C. bP)— -Three
lower Arrow Lake communities
were getting supplies by air as
lake ice continued too thin for
sleds and too thick for steamship
service.
A Royal Canadian Air Force
transport plane dropped two tons
of hay Wednesday for some 200
cattle facing starvation. A small
plane from Robson, B. C., flew in
food supplies for the 300 resi
dents.
The isolated communities are
Renata, Deer Park and Broadwa

two families who have been sup
plied over a rough foot trail from
the other two communities.

MANCHESTER, N. Y. i/P), The
state’s star medical witness said
yesterday that he believed Mrs.
Abbie Borroto was killed by an
air injection in her veins adminis
tered by Dr. Hermann N. Sander
Dr. Milton Helpern. deputy
medical examiner of New York
City, gave this testimony as the
State neared the close of its first
degree murder case against the
41-year-old country doctor.
At the end of a long hypotheti
cal question, Dr. Helpern .said:
“In my opinion death was
caused by air embolism resulting
from the injection of 4 ccs of air.”
That is the amount of air the
State charges Dr. Sander injected
into Mrs. Borroto’s arm last Dec.
4, in a gesture of mercy to end the
agony of her cancer.
fairs said last night a Queen Char
lotte airlines plane would dr,op
3,000 pounds of essential provi
sions to the Indian villagers.
Short of food as the result of
a pool* fishing season and a harsh
winter, the villagers also were
left stranded when ice began to
break up at the mouth of the
river and cut it off from normal
supply routes.
