Partition Will Re
Secondary Issue
J
(By Larry Hauck)
NEW YORK, (/P> — Worsening
relations between the United
States and Russia may deal a
death blow to Palestine partition.
Some United Nations delegates
said today they believe Palestine
may become only a minor item in
the overall American-Russian dip
lomatic conflict.
They figure Palestine might
quickly be lost in the shuffle of
larger affairs if the worsening
conditions — stated by President
Truman yesterday—can not be
righted by sudden action.
Hie United States is becoming
more cautious daily in its ap
proach to the problem of forcibly
putting through the U. N.-approv
ed split-up of the Holy Land into
Jewish and Arab nations. The
other great powers also are feeling
their way along.

Czech Foreign
Minister Dead
PRAGUE <#*)—Czechoslovakia’s
communist government got a
unanimous vote of confidence in
parliament yesterday as it pre
pared a state funeral for foreign
minister Jan Masaryk.
Thus, in two weeks and two
days after the seizure of power,
communist premier Klement Gott
wald has tied up parliamentary
approval for the program f >r
which he had battled since las*
summer.
When chairman Josef David
called for the confidence vote, all
the 233 deputies who were present
raised their hands. The parlia
ment has a normal membership
of 300.
Ahead of the deputies is the
adoption of legislation to legalize
activities of the action committees
which Gottwald set up as the
Czech crisis developed. The com
mittees took control of the govern
ment for him and quickly began to
guide every phase of public and
private life.
Jan Masaryk’s state funeral will
be Saturday. He will be buried be
side his father, founder and first
President of the Czechoslovak re
public.
The 61-year-old non-party for
eign minister was found dead
Wednesday, two weeks after the
new cabinet came to power, in a
stone courtyard more than 50 feet
below his bathroom window at the
foreign office. The government
said he jumped.
Czechoslovakia mourned the
minister today in shocked melan
choly. Half-staffed tricolors and
black banners did not begin to tell
the story of the loss felt by the
nation’s “little people.”
Czechoslovaks are a hard-head
ed, sofe-hearted people, unasham
ed of sentimentality. The love they
lavished on their world-famous
son in his lifetime was matched
at his death by their sorrowing.

The Nome Grill sent quantities
of pie and sandwiches to the
weary workers, and the North
Pole Bakery sent doughnuts and
coffee, which were gratefully ac
cepted. Coffee was brought in
from the Pioneer Hall and by Rev.
M. Day of the Federated Church.
The social rooms of the Feder
ated Church were opened for serv
ing and warming the men as well
as a place for giving first aid.
The Bronson Water Co. and the
Pioneer Water Co., worked all
through the night until four this
morning bringing in tank after
tank of water to supplement the
water being pumped through the
mains.
The Volunteer Fire Department
did a wonderful job of team work,
turning out as usual to render
their services in assisting the
Nome fire department. Much
credit is due all who in any way
assisted at the fire.
An old building of Fort Davis,
2 miles east of Nome, the Maynard

Nome for the past 26 years since
it was moved to the location on

To Communism

ennce and heard Marshall couple
with his pronouncement of crisis
and appeal for moderation, calm
thinking and cool judgment on the
part of the American people.
Officials expect that crisis to
raech a climax first and most di
rectly in the Italian political cam
paigns leading up to elections
there April 18. Here are the points
which the President, the secretary
—or both in some cases—stressed:
1. The European recovery pro
gram—which is now near final
action in the Senate but awaits
House debate—should be carried
out promptly.
2. The United States encourages
the formation of what Marshall
called a political association in
Western Europe as the first step
to restoring stability.
3. The spread of communist
govornments anywhere in the
world, including China is opposed
bv thp American government. And
Mr. Truman indicated this coun
try will do everything in its power
to block communism.
4. The United States will con
tinue to work for world peace
wherever possible, but the prob
lem is now more difficult than at
any time since the end of the war.
5. Meanwhile, the American
people must keep their fears and
their “passions” under control in
soite of what Marshall called the
"distractions” of election year
campaigns here at home.
