WOULD RUSSIA COME TO CHINA’S AID?
While the terms of the mutual-assistance pact,
signed by Russia and Communist China, are unknown
to the public, it is quite probable that the State De
partment and the Joint Chief of Staff have information
as to the contents of the document.
This leads Senator Paul H. Douglas, of Illinois,
to warn that any Allied attack on China might pre
cipitate World War III by compelling Russia to come
to the aid of the Chinese. This would, no doubt, “in
evitably precipitate us into a Third World War.”
The idea that this country can blockade China,
bombard its chief cities and also arm, equip and trans
port Chinese Nationalist troops to the mainland, with
out being considered “at war” with the Chinese, is as
erroneous as the unfortunate opinion that the Chinese
would not enter the conflict in Korea if the forces of
the United Nations drove to the Yalu River line.
BLAME STATIC ON PLANETS *
If you are troubled with radio interference in the
middle of July, you can blame the disturbance upon
the planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, according to Mr.
John H. Nelson, who has made a twenty-year study
of the daily clarity of radio transmission over long
distances. x
For some unknown reason, or at least not under
stood by Mr. Nelson, the correlation between the po
sitions of the planets in their orbits and the sun pro
duce a situation that causes violent electrical disturb
ances in the earth’s upper atmosphere and interferes
with the reception of your favorite radio program.

Restrained Mining
Anchorage Field
ANCHORAGE, (tP) — An order
temporarily restraining four indivi
duals from removing gravel from
any part of Merrill Airfield land,
previously staked as a mining
claim, was signed yesterday in
Third District Court.
The action was taken after the
claimants, through attorney Buell
Nesbett, had notified the Bureau
of Land Management they in
tended to begin gravel operations
May 1 even though their claims*'
on -the land at this city’s munici
pal airport had been declared null
and void.
Claims were filed by Alfred,
Betty Jane and Laurence Linde
man and Hewitt Lounsbury last
February. On April 19 the filings
were declared invalid by Lowell
Puckett, Regional Administrator
for the Bureau of Land Manage
ment, on grounds they were in
conflict with the airport lease
which the city of Anchorage
holds on the land.
Attorneys said the restraining
order would be' in effect at least
until results of Lindemuth’s ap
peal to the Bureau of Land Man
agements Director in Washing
ton, D. C. are known.

colonists doubled in 25 years, al
though their death rate was much
higher than the current one.
