To Investigate
Czech Red Coup
LAKE SUCCESS, (/P) — United
States demands for fullest inquiry
into the Communist coup in
Czechoslovakia today opened the
possibility of an on-the-spot in
vestigation by the United Nations.
American Delegate Warren R.
Austin said the security council
could not close its eyes to the
grave charges that Russia eng n
eered last month’s grab of power
in Prague. He added sternly tha:
the new Czechoslovak government
and the Soviet Union must lay
their cards on the table.
So far, Prague has refused to
enter the case on the grounds that
the governmental switch was an
internal affair. Russia has skirted
the accusations and counter-charg
ed that the U. S. and Britain are
following a policy of expansion.
It was the fir^t U. S. statement
on the question sonce the case was
filed last week by the government
of Chile. The South American re
public acted after T)r. Jan Papa
nek. non-communist Czechoslovak
delegate ousted by the new Prague
regime, failed to get the case ac
cepted for hearings. .»
After listening to Russia’s An
drei A. Gromyko assail American
policy in Italy and elsewhere, and
attack Wall Street for one hour,
Austin tore up most of his pre
pared speech and addressed him
self directly to Gromyko’s argu
ments.
Steve Anderson, manager of the
N. C. “Cat” department left last
evening for the States, where he
will visit with his family in Seat
tle and then leave for the East to
attend Caterpillar school.
Russell Maynard, director of the
Territorial Welfare Department is
in town conferring with various
organizations on the building of a
new hospital for Nome next sum

Marshall plan to reconstruct anti
communist Europe, at a first-year
cost to the United States of $5,
309,000,000 and the 59-year alli
ance of Britain, France and the
Benelux countries.
Eugene Cardinal Tisserant of
Italy declared “no menace so
grave as atheistic communism has
ever threatened Christian eiv'liza
tion.” These were the strongest
words against communism yet
voiced by an Italian prelate.
The Yugoslav interior ministry
said the mine explosion at Rachi.
near Trieste, which killed 71 per
sons March 14 was caused “by or
der from outside.” A man bearing
documents in the case was killed
by border guards while at‘.emot
ing to cross the frontier into Italy,
the ministry said.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi fore
cast the possible official attitule
Sunday when he said -“We could
not accept it (Trieste* for Gorizia.”
In Washington American offi
cials also turned a cold shoulder
to the Yugoslav swap offer.
Nervous Italians became even
more jittery following a shooting
affray Monday between Yugoslav
and Italian border patrols in Tri
este. An Italian policeman was hit.
At Lake Success, Britain’s Sir
Alexander Cadoman told the
United Nations security council
that the advance of communism
must be halted.
“There are limits beyond which
this tide must not advance and it
must be dammed back,” Cadogan
said.
In Washington, the Senate arm
ed services committee backed
President Truman’s pleas for
quick steps to build up America’s
military forces. Chairman Gurney
(R.-S. D.) said 10 of the 13 com
mittee members were convinced
both a limited draft and universal
military training have become an
“absolute necessity.”
In Helsinki, President Juho Paa
sikivi assured Finns next July’s
parliamentary elections will be
free. It was the first interview the
78-year-old statesman has granted
since the critical discussions be
gan on the proposed Russian-Fin

“Perhaps I am a little naive,”
he said, “but I do not think there
will be any war in the near fu
Danes Cancel
Easter Leaves After
Secret Meeting
COPENHAGEN, (£’)—'The Dan
ish privy council met in secret
yesterday after Easter leaves for
some of the Danish military were
canceled.
The parliamentary foreign com
mittee is scheduled to meet today.
Newspapers were asked not to
give “sensational display” to the
communique cancelling leaves.
Asked whether the foreign po
litical situation had prompted the
cancellation, defense minister Ras
mus Hansen said:
“We had found that the leave
regulation would expose the mili
tary in some places where it is
necessary to maintain a little pre
paredness.”
Widespread theft of arms from
home guard depots has been re
ported recently.
Soviets Erecting
Monument To Ft.
Ross Founder
MOSCOW, (/P)—The Soviets are
erecting a monument to Ivan
Alexandrovich Kuskov, early 19t4i
century explorer of California and
Alaska and founder of Ft. Ross in
California. *
(The Russians established Ft.
Ross on the California coast about
60 miles northwest of San Fran
cisco in 1812. The fort, which was
used primarily for trading with
the Spaniards, was abandoned in
1841).
Izvestia, the government news
paper, said yesterday the town
council of Totma, city in Volgoda
district of northern Russia more
than 400 miles due east of Lenin
grad, has decided to commemorate
Kushov, a native son.
After 32 years in Alaska and
California Kushov returned to
Totma and died there a year later.
His former home is being pre
served as a museum, and the mu
seum organization will publish his
biography, Izvestia said.
For a quarter of a century, the

Leaders in other countries were
not so optimistic.
