Division in Moscow— Uncensored diplcmatic dispatches now report at lease two distinct cleavages inside the Soviet Politburo. The 14 So- viet leaders are spit over “war or peace.” A number of the younger men around Stalin and Molotov think war will come this summer because the United States is head- ed for a depression. But another faction is eager for U. S. appease- ment because American public op- inicn has become so strongly anti- Russian. Soviet Nosiness — The Russian news agency Tass, has been asking frequent questicns around the Army and Navy Departments. The latest so-called news story, which Tass has been snooping after, is the Air Force’s specifications for high oc- tane gasoline. Believe it or not, but Uncle Sam’s big-hearted policy is to give the Russians whatever infor- mation they want—as long as it isn't officially classified as secret. Poor Trigve Lie—The State De- partment is considering asking for the recall of Trigve Lie as Secre- tary-General of the United Nations —because Lie criticized the North Atlantic Pact as undermining the United Nations. The State Depart- ment claims the pact will strength- en, not hurt the United Nations, and it's sore as blazes at Trigve Lie, whose criticism, it claims, fol- lows Moscow’s propaganda line. Michigander Helps Michigander— Senator Vandenberg has taken a sudden interest in the Senate’s in- vestigation of the alleged Michigan vote frauds which put his junior colleague, Senator Ferguson, back into office. Vandenberg has written three letters, cne to Rules Chair- man Carl Hayden of Arizona, and two to Election Chairman Francis Meyer of Pennsylvania, asking that the impounded Michigan ballot box- es be released so as to bz used in local primary elections held earlier this week. It turned out, however, that only 15 counties were holding elections, so Senate investigators speeded up their ex- amination of ballots in those coun- ties. Vandenberg also wrote an- other letter, requesting a complete report of the Elections Subcommit- tee’s findings on Ferguson. Bolstering China—The inside rea- son why ex-Mayor Roger Lapham of San Prancisco suddenly rushed to Washington from China is that Lapham, now Marshall Plan Ad- ministrator for China, believes he can make the Nationalist Govern ment hold out. Lapham wants to set up the Chinese Nationalists on Formosa, which the Communists could not invade and which would ' be supplied with Marshall Plan aid. | ) Indian affairs has i will act. \against any of the s In Alaska where the cost of living is higher than in the States and elsewhere under the American flag, the Federal income taxes hit our people harder than elsewhere. our income must go for the basic needs.

This is the important al- liance that could plunge the United States into war if one of the Eu- cpean democracies should be at- tacked by Russia. Although the GenatQrs were | pledged to strict secrecy here are the highlizhts c¢f that important meeting: Acheson promised to write into the pact a clear and expressed provision that this coun- | try cannot go to war without fol- | lowing the Constitutional process. This means it will still be up to Congress to declare war. However, the State Department will assure the world that a solemn treaty, ratified by Congress, can be taken | as a strong warning that Congres: Although the exact word- ing hasn't been decided, the pact will state essentially that aggression natory I tions will be ccnsidered as a sion against them afl. Scme Senators, led by Massachu- setts’ Henry Cabot Lodge, wanted the pact even more ironclad. On the other hand the question was raised whether a statement by the President wouldn't do just as well, warning that aggression against the Western demccracies would be con- sidered an unfriendly act toward this country. The idea would be to lay down a Monroe doctrine for ‘ Europe. Arkansas’ Senator Wililam Ful- bright asked whether civil war, in- | cited by the Communists, would be | censidetred as aggressicn since our country was born by revolution. Florida’s Senator Claude Pepper, on the other hand, expressed worry | over setting a precedent of regional | alliances. He wanted to know whether cther alliances in the Far East and Mediterranean might fol- low and tear the heart out of the United Nations. QUIBBLES WASTE TIME These and other left partly in the air. So much of the time was exhausted over technical points, such as whether | the word “any” should be consid- ered singular or plural, that Sen, Fulbright finally pleaded that they | get on to the main issue There was only one mild flare- | up — when Senator Brien McMa- hon of Connecticut warned that | the issue would be raised again on the Senate floor that this coun- try cannot pledge to fight, since it | is up to Congress to declare war. | This had already been broughi up by Senators Tom Connlly and Ar- thur Vandenberg. | ‘Toc much reiteration, warned Mc- Mahon, might create distrust in Europe. “What reiteration?” snapped Van- | denberg, toughly. *“Oh,” shrugged McMahon, “I mean what the Pres- | ident has been saying.” - — Fried Chicke:: and T-bone Steaks | —$2.50, Country Club, 19 u} questions were | - ALASKA COASTAL FLIES 2 FLIGHTS CARRYING 6 WED.
