bly today postponed election
©f a security council member
until next Thursday, with the
•Philippines and Yugoslavia
eaeh still in the race with form
idalble backing.
The United States maintain
ed its support of the Philip

bloc still favored communist

porters his deeigation did not
consider that Yugoslavia’s el
ection to the economic and so
cial council last night barred
her from election also to the
security council. The U. S.
view was just the opposite.
Jose Maza of Chile, assem
bly president, adjourned the
meeting till a week from to
day by general consent. He
said he had been told there
was a “private agreement in
the chamber” that this should
be done.
The assembly, in its morn
ing meeting, elected Brazil
and Greece to the economic
and social council and Guate
mala and Syria to the trustee
ship council for three-year
terms starting with next year.
The seats in question now are
held by Venezuela, Turkey, El
Salvador and Syria, respec
tively.

Railway strike
settled at Skagway
JUNEAU {IP) The strike of
White Pass and Yukon Railway
shopmen at Skagway has 'been
settled.
Word was received here that
the AFL union involved settl
ed for a raise of 11 Vz cents an
hour, retroactive to Jan. 1, plus
nine paid holidays.
The union had asked for a 30
cent an hour increase, plus fri
nge benefits and a 30 day can
cellation clause.
Picket lines were removed
last night and the first train
was scheduled to move about
noon today.
The strike tied up traffic be
tween Skagway & Whithorse
Y.T.. for more than six weeks
and heavy materials and constru
ction supplies were scarce. .
British Columbia truck lines
provided extra trips over the
Alaska highway to handle the
flood of freight because of the
strike, tout only a minimum of
heavy materials and construc
tion supplies were carried.
Normally freight reaches
Skagway by coast steamship
for shipment over the WjP.&Y
line to Whitehorse for distribu
tion in that area.
SINGAPORE (/P) Canadian
foreign secretary Lester B.
Pearson said today he explain
ed some of the American ipoint
of view 'during his recent visit
to the Soviet Union but he
douibtss he’s up to explaining

States.
Pearson, here on a world
tour, told the Singapore Rota
ry clulb one Russian official
had suggested to him Canada’s
geographic position should
make it the “ham in the sand
wich” (between Russian and
the United States.
To that, the Canadian con
tinued, first deputy premier
L. M. Kaganovich suggested a
“bridge” would be a better de
scription of the Canadian posi

“It certainly is a nicer de
scription.” Pearson comment

Migrating caribou
give Alaska
hunters field day
FAIRBANKS (/P) An estimat
ed 30,000 carilbou migrating to
new feeding grounds are cross
ing the Taylor highway during
hunting season and Alaska nim
rods are having a field day.
The aniimals are all members
of what is known as the Steese
Forty Mile herd. They are mov
ing from a region near the Can
adian boundary into Alaska
for the winter.
From Saturday when the
huge herd first appeared near
Chicken on the Taylor highway
until today, a total of 714 of
the animals are known to have
been bagged. These were check
ed through the Fish and Wild
life station on the highway.
Others have no douibt been kill;
ed but not checked with agents !
as yet. !
The Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice has appealed to hunters to
stop “herd shooting” the cari
bou. Hunters who are firing at
random into the herds, in the
manner of buffalo hunters of
the Old West, have left many
wounded and dead animals in
the field.
As the huge herd moves, the
animals are crossing the Taylor
highway in groups Banging from
20 to 300 or 400.
Reds dogged plans
L |
for entry in war
against Japan
I WASHINGTON (IP) Al
| though the Russians agreed in
! 1943 to go to war against Ja
pan after Germany’s defeat,
they persistently dodged Am
erican efforts to work out
plans for such military opera
tions.
This picture emerges from
a newly-puiblished account of
behind-the-scenes events lead
ing up to Russia’s entry into
the Far Eastern war — only a
few days (before the Japanese
surrendered in August 1945.
The defense department yes
terday made public the 35,000
word report.
The Pentagon document said
that “to coordinate United
States operations in the Pacif
ic with prospective Soviet ac
tion, the military planners in
Washington needed detailed in
formation on Soviet caipabil-'
ities and intentions in the Far
East.”
Maj. Gen. John R. Deane, a
member of*'the U. S. mission
in Moscow, tried to get this in
formation, but the report said
his efforts had “produced no
return” toy the beginning of
1944. Then, during the first
months of that year. Deane
submitted lists of questions to
Soviet officials. “The Soviet
response continued to be dis
appointing,” the report said.
“•During the first half of
1944,” it added, “it appeared
imipossilbe to arrange for any
systematic (Soviet-United States
discussion of Far Eastern mat
ters.”
Early in February 1944, the
documents related, Soviet mar
shal Joseph Stalin told U. S.
ambassador Averell Harriman
the United States would be al
lowed to operate aircraft from
Siberia after the Russians de
clared war on Japan.
“No opportunity was offer
ed .for consultation with
| Soviet air officers about the
details of such an undertak
ing,” the report said. “In April
the Soviet government reques
ted delivery of 500 heavy
bombers . but negotia
tions on this matter also fail
ed to make progress ”
