Launch Drive To
Make Communist
French President
PARIS, Jan. 21—(/P)—The Com
mun'st party launched a drive to
name a successor to DeGaulle,
who resigned from the provisional
presidency of France last night af
ter a cabinet crisis at which De
Gaulle stepped down from the
presidency with the announcement
that he considered he had com
pleted his task “of leading the
country toward liberation, victory
and sovereignty.”
Party leaders met in a special
conference and are expected to
call the assembly into session
either late today or tomorrow. Al
though his secretary said the res
ignation was “irrevocable,” some
political sources predicted that
DeGaulle might be prevailed upon
to form a new government or re
consider his resignation.
There are some reports that his
resignation might be rejected by
the Assembly. The Communists
after holding a conference with
representatives of the more con
servative Popular Republ i c a n
party, announced they would de
mand a Communist be elected as
provisional president, and ad
vanced the name of their minister
of state, Maurice Thorez, as De
Gaulle’s successor.
There are several reasons ad
vanced for DeGaulle’s resignation,
among them his unalterable oppo
sition to the proposed draft of the
constitution on which Socialists
and Communists are working,
leaving the Popular Republican
Movement party outside.

Paints Ice Black To Open
Yukon Chahnel
The owner of the steamboat
"Casca” on the Yukon River, now
counts on putting his craft into
profitable operation three weeks
earlier than usual each year, says
; "Decorator” an English trade pa
per.
He achieves this feat by putting
i the rays of the sun to work. He
painted the river ice black for 29
miles across Lake Labarge to the
headwaters of the Yukon. Paint
made from carbon black and die
sel oil was sprayed from tractor
drawn equipment on a strip 40
feet wide. Within a month the
blackened strip had cut itself a
channel a foot deep in the ice.
Dark surfaces absorb a much
greater proportion of the heat of
the sun than light surfaces. Stead
ily every day the softened surface
ate its way through the ice until
the channel was clear.—National
Engineer (London).

NOME CLOTHING DRIVE
COMPLETED
I
If all other communities in Alas
ka and the U. S. A. respond as
well as Nome did last week in
giving used clothing for the Na
tional clothing drive, the quota
set at 100,000,000 garments, will
be more than reached.
The Home Arts Club, local
member of the Alaska Women’s
Federation, sponsored the drive
under the chairmanship of Mrs.
Carl Glavinovich, who states that
approximately 1600 good wearable
garments, amounting to about 750
pounds, were contributed to this
most worthy cause. The office
force of the U. S. Smelting Co.
gave several evenings of their
time in packing and wrapping the
many boxes, which will leave for
Anchorage through the courtesy
of the Alaska Airlines, and be
taken to the States by boat. The
committee of the Home Arts Club
was aided by Mrs. John Whisen
hunt and a group of young people
who went from house to house
and collected the parcels.
Soldier—There’s a group of vol
unteers outside sir, with four
MP’s.
Officer—What are the MP’s do
ing here?
Soldier—They’re dragging in
the volunteers sir.
Ocean Treasures
The versatility of the new ocean
treasures spray pin is dramatized
by its use on a classic stardust
blouse, as worn by Eleanor Cahill,
selected as “Miss Stardust of
1945." The pin is delicately de
signed by Battani, for the House of
Treasures, to be adaptable as an
accessory for spectator or formal
wear. The tonal quality of this
genuine mother of pearl, found in
the East Indies waters, makes it
highly effective on all costume
colors.
