about over, with the Egyptians
whipped again. A U. N. spokes
man at- Haifa said the southern
front is quiet. An Israeli military
sp kesman said the Negev battle
is lackening. Unofficial informa
tion was that Egypt could not re
new the fight unless she poured
f in substantial reinforcements.
There seemed little basis for
Egyptian assertions that her posi
tions in South Palestine are safe
and that 500 attacking Jews were
killed.
Braham Abdel Hadi Pasha, chief
of the Royal Cabinet, took over as
Egyp'ian Premier succeeding the
assassinated Mahmoud Fahmy No
krushy Pasha. Youth of his party
vowed vengeance on the Moslem
brotherhood to which the student
killer belonged. The killing appar
ently stemmed from Arab discon
tent over the war in Palestine.
French and British newspapers
commented favorably over the six
I™power western agreement for con
Uv-1 of Germany’s Ruhr industries.
The Germans denounced the pact
but did not seem likely to boycott
it.
Russia, which fong has wanted
a voice in the Ruhr although she
has refused to give the west any
say in eastern Germany or eastern
Europe, was left out. Moscow said
the plan was a triumph for
“American reaction.”
Czechoslovakia, one of the Iron
Curtain countries, renewed press
attacks on Roman Catholic lead
ers.
President Syngman Rhee of Ko
rea said the current withdrawal of
U. S. troops “leaves our security
sufficiently safeguarded.”
Three Japanese generals and
six other officers were sentenced
to the gallows for beheading 33
American fliers, after Japan sur

Western Powers i
Set Up Control Of
Ruhr Industries 1
LONDON, UP) — The western
powers set up yesterday a strict
| international control system to i
bar Germany’s industrial Ruhr
1 valley from war production.
The Ruhr was ordered to pro
, dvce solely for peace.
Their decision was announced
, in a formal communique as the
climax of a six-week conference
here, attended by representatives
; of the United S.ates, Britain,
France, the Netherlands, Belgium
and Luxembourg.
It contained no admission of
i Russia as a partner in the inter
: national control board to be
known as the “Ruhr Authority.”
An American spokesman told a
news conference at the embassy
the agreement probably will go
into operation in two or three
months. He said a military secur
ity board provided for in the
agreement also will begin func
tioning within that time. The
' spokesman said the Americans re
gard the pact as an executive
agreement which will not need
: Congressional approval, as a for
mal treaty would.
1 The agreement offered Germany
a piace on the board as soon as
! it develops a legal government.
The Germans will have three votes
i —the same as the United States,
Britain and France, and will have
two more than each of the Bene
: lux countries which it overran in
World War II.
| It set up an international system
of inspection—the framework of
an industrial police—to keep the
Ruhr from becoming once again a
war-making industrial machine as
it did under Hitler and Kaiser
Wilhelm.
j It left unsettled old dynamite
laden question of ultimate owner
!ship of the Ruhr’s industries—a
I plain concession to France.
The French want international
ownership. Britain prefers Ger
man public ownership. The United
States favors private enterprise.
The agreement was for an in
definite term, leaving open the
I possibility the Ruhr might for
ever continue under international
supervision.
This, too, was a concession to
the French—often the victim of
German aggression—who argued
with success that Germany’s in
dustrial might was developed in
the coal, coke and steel produc
tion of the Ruhr’s concentrated
industries.
The decisions will be put into
force just as soon as the agree
ment is signed by the §ix govern
ments. The British cabinet already
has given it an okay.

MARKS AIR FORCE BASE
ENTERTAINS ESKIMO KIDS
The Service Club at Marks Air
Force Base played host Monday,
December 27th, to over one hun
dred fifty young Eskimo children
of Nome, whose ages ranged from
three to six years old. Miss Jane
Sniffen, the club hostess, and the
airmen of Marks Air Force Base
acted as hostess and “buddies” to
the youngsters. The party was a
great success with the young Es
kimo children having the time of
their lives enjoying the compan
ionship of the airmen and the gifts
they received which were sent to
Miss Sniffen by David Tewkes
bury, editor of the Alaskan Al
manac at Seattle, for this party.
The children also received
candy and popcorn balls made and
contributed by various individuals
at Marks Air Force Base and each
'child received a bottle of soda pop,
'the child’s delight, which was con
tributed by the Nome Beverage
| company.
Transportation for the “kiddies"
from their homes in Nome and re
turn was provided by the Arc‘ic
Effects Of Cold On

•r
SEATTLE, (/Pi—'The effects of
Arctic cold on the human body
and mind will be studied for two
years in Alaska, the University of
Washington reported today.
Human “guinea pigs” will go to
the Territory this winter to start
the project. Dr. Loren D. Carlson
of the university’s department of
physiology and biophysics said the
contract for the study had been
awarded by the air surgeon’s of
fice of the air force.
“Because Alaska is primarily an
air base from a military stand
point, the air force is keenly inter
ested in finding out the limits of
body reactions under conditions
of extreme cold,” Dr. Carlson said.
Headquarters will be at Ladd
Field, Fairbanks, and the expedi
tion will leave for the site Jan. 15.
