.;'s Ketchikan local for damages
‘ n excess of $1,000” for allaged
i .juries resulting from a water
front strike.
The suit followed the union’s
refusal Thursday to handle cargo
i >r the firm from the steamer
Alaska. The action alleged that
the firm’s business and property
have suffered damages from the
union’s strike against the major
Alaska shipping companies.
The work stoppage followed

Meanwhile, the Waterfront Em
ployers’ Association charged in a
paid advertisement that the strike
\ iolates the union’s contract pro

Many Persons Try
Enter Soviet /one I
■ ■ ■ 1 ■■
MOSCOW,—</P>—The- govern
ment newspaper Izvestia told Rus
sians today that more than 100,
000 persons unable to find jobs
in the British-American /.ones of
occupied Germany in 1946 tried
to enter the Soviet zone.
The assertion was made by a
writer who accused Gen. Lucius
Clay, the American military gov
ernor, of slander and repeating
untruths in connection with re
*
ports of mass flights of Germans
from the Soviet zone.
The article said several thou-!
sand persons did leave the Soviet
zone in 1946 and in the first seven
months of this year, and quoted |
the Soviet-licensed German news
paper Vorwaerts (a communist
organ) as saying they were war |
criminals, active nazis and crim-i
inal elements.
• Gen. Clay reported Aug. . 17
that Germans illegally entering
American occupation zone from
the Soviet zone had become so
numerous they were being re
turned without prosecution. Many
refugees said they were fleeing I
from labor conscription orders.)

Many Cattle Die !
J
In South Dakota
Prairie Fire
—
PIERRE, S. D.,—(/P)—At least*
3,000 head of cattle were destroyed
by a prairie fire that raged over
more than 500 square miles of
farms and ranches, fields and pas
tures in central South Dakota be
fore being brought under con
trol early Saturday morning.
Officials feared the number ot
cattle already known to be lost
would be only a fraction of the'
final fatal. An estimated 25,000
head were being fed on the 200
ranches and farms within the
stricken area.
Considering possible loss in hay'
and other feeds, pasturage, homes
and other buildings, they describe
the fire as the greatest disaster
to hit the section since the
drought. Burned out communi-1
cations lines made exact loss es-1
timates impossible.
For more than 12 hours with
out relief a 300-man army of vol
unteer fire fighters fought the
blaze with wet sacks, water
hauled in by tank trucks, plows
to cut protective furrows, and
backfires. A standby crew of
about 50 men remained on guard
today lest the blaze spring up

again.
Early.reports told of no loss
of human life, and of only four
homes definitely known to have
been burned. Some were saved
by plowing around them to turn
up a protective strip of earth.
Scores of persons probably
owed their lives to members of
the motor patrol who raced
througn the land ahead of the fire
warning settlers to evacuate.
Those who fled or were dis
possessed found refuge in towns
which lor a time were threatened
by flames.
The fire started at two spots
several miles apart about 40 miles
east of Pierre. Sparks from a
combine were blamed for one
blaze, a cigar lor the other.
Fanned by a southwest wind,
the fire spread northward over
a thinly settled section from 20
to 35 miles along a line 27 miles
long.
Grandpa Wize says the average
one-horse town would be sitting
pretty today if it had the horse!
