Truman Rejects
Russian Charges
Of Aggression
WASHINGTON, (A3)—President
Truman, rejecting Russia’s charge
that the Atlantic treaty is “aggres

sion and the fear of aggression.”
In a speech prepared for the al
liance signing ceremony, Mr. Tru
man asserted the people of the
west are determined that “the
sickening blow of unprovoked ag

; gression “shall not fall upon the
i
1 world, again.’’
: In taking steps to prevent ag
gression against “our own peo
1 pies,” the President said, “we have
no purpose of aggression against
i others. To suggest the contrary is
to slander our institutions and de
i fame our ideals and our aspira
| tions.”

The site for the skating rink has
not yet been decided upon and de
pends considerably on the prog
ress of the contest. We feel that
the idea of not publishing or an
nouncing any information as to
who is ahead is the fairest possi
ble way to run the contest. The
contestants only will know their
own scores.
People selling tickets must keep
track of their ticket numbers in
the event they are lost. If a ticket
is lost, please notify Ted Duffield
immediately and those numbers
wlil be voided from the final count
and withheld from the drawing.
No tickets will be accepted by
the counters after 12 midnight,
May 7th.
This is a fair contest and for a
good cause, so com’on, folks, help
us put it over!!!!
If anyone would like to enter
the contest as “Madame X,” we
will withhold your name until the
night of the drawing . . . just let
us know who you • sponsor it.
It will be helpful to instruct per-*
sons who will be out of town, to
put their name and address on the
back of their ticket.
HUNTERS UNSUCCESSFUL IN
POLAR BEAR HUNT
Pilot Gene Joiner, bush pilot
who is specializing in polar bear
expeditions brought irr O. Carlysle
Brock of Erie, Pa., and Grancel
Fitz of New York City from Kot
zebue on Saturday.
The two eastern hunters tried to
bag a polar bear but were unsuc
cessful due to the prevailing
southeasterly winds which opened
leads in the ice packs.
Mr. Brock stated however, that
the trip was well worth the trying
and he hopes to come back again
some day and make another try nt
it.

Congress Roundup
(Saturday, April 2, 1949)
WASHINGTON, (Ah—The Sen- |
ate called an unusual Saturday .
session today to push through fi- 1
nal approval of the $5,580,000,000
European recovery program.
Several policy-changing amend
ments still must be whipped down
by administration leaders, but
what was probably the biggest
threat to the bill for a second-year :
Marshall plan was smashed late!
last night.
A 54 to 23 vote defeated an I
amendment by Senators Taft <R.
Ohio> and Russell <D.-Ga.» that
would have cut the total 10 per
cent.
The one-sided count was a sur
prise even to Democratic leader
Lucas of Illinois, who predicted
that all remaining amendments
seemed sure of defeat.
Lucas said passage of the pro
gram would have a tremendous
psychological effect throughout
the world.
“The communists can’t use this
for propaganda and they can’t say
we welched on our promises to Eu
rope,” he said.
But Senator Eilender <D.-La.)
said he was “about fed up" on
foreign aid programs and planned
to try to trim the fund when it
comes before his appropriations
committee for approval.
The bill now being debated is
merely to continue the Marshall
Plan, and recommend how much
should be spent. Later: actual au
thorization of the funds must be
acted on.
The administration won a clear
cut victory in the oleomargarine
butter battle when the House yes
terday rammed through approval
of a bill to repeal the 63-year-old
tax on oleo.
The administration had prorn
i ed to kill the-e taxes, and its
first major test in the House was
Anti-Trusl Suit
Filed Against
12 Ma jor Airlines
WASHINGTON. uP)—A $1,500,
000 anti-trust suit was filed in
federal court today against 12 ma
jor airlines and two air associa
tions. The suit was brought by a
corporation designated as S S W ,
Inc., of Concord. Calif.
In addition to the 12 major air
lines named as defendants, 20
other airlines were named as al
leged co-conspirators.
The suit charges that the M de
fendants and the 20 lines named
as co-conspirators made contracts
to “directly and unreasonably re
strain and 'entered a> combination
and conspiracy to monopolize the
air-born transportation, trade and
commerce of the United States.”
The S. S. W. corporation named
the following, all of Washington,
D. C., as defendants:
Air Transport Association of
America, Air Traffic Conference
of America, American Airlines,
American Overseas Air lines,
Braniff Airways, Capital Airlines,
Continental Airlines, Eastern Air
lines, Northwest Airlines, Pan
American Airways, Pan Ameri
can-Grace Airways, Transcontin
ental and Western Air, and Uni'ed
Airlines.
a smashing 237 to 39 win.
Efforts by butter interests to
prohibit interstate sale of yellow
margarine failed. But they won a
minor concession: the colored oleo
when sold in public eating place
must be identified as oleo, and it
must lie served in triangles.
It’s now up to the Senate, which
last year stalled long enough to
kill the measure after the House
had approved it. This time, back
ers of the bill predict the Senate
will go along with the House.
