Russia Attempts To Woo Japan By WILLIAM JORDEN TOKYO I The Soviet Union is planning to keep a trade mis sion in Tokyo as part of a plan to woo Japan away from the West, informed sources said Saturday. These sources, Japanese and for eign, say the Russians already have laid the groundwork for the mission. The Russians want their repre sentatives in Japan even though they refuse to accept the Japan ese Peace Treaty drafted by the Western powers. A trade mission would serve their purposes even without full diplomatic relations. The Russians Condemned Blond Reprived Official sources yesterday 're ported that a 20 year old blbnd, a product of this communily, was condemned to death one month ago, but was given a last nf ule rcprlve today. A local busi nessman who figured prominently in the case, declared that the con demned blond had been conifort . ably supporting a local family here for quite a while, hut just because the blond was disabled, the family was about to forsake her. Mr. C. Wolf, ubiquitous owner of Expert Furniture Cleaners & Upholsterers, directly behind Richie's Root Beer Drive-In on Highway 99 North, gave the blond divan a last minute reprieve from a date with the Junk heap, com pletely restyling and reholstcring it into a beautiful modern sre eclionaL The above upholsterer suggests that no matter how far gone your upholstery may be, if it hasn't gone to him It hasn't gone far enough. His phone is 3-3191. It's an ad.

When the peace treaty is ratified the Allied Coun cil will go out of business. I The Soviets would then lose their only reason for remaining In Ja pan. There is where the trade mil sion comes in. In preparation for the change-! over, the Russians have drastical ly overhauled their mission. I In the past month or so, they ' have cut the total of military per sonnel in Tokyo. Between 75 and 100 soldiers are believed to have returned to the Soviet Union on the Russian ship Smolni. They now have about 100 persons in their mission. These probably will make up the trade mission. j $3 Million Fire j Razes Paper Mill l.ONGVIEW, Wash. 11 A three million dollar fire which licked at i the heels of fleeing workmen as it roared through the building, de stroyed the main plant of the Pa cific Paperboard Company Friday niaht.

Alaskan Temperature Drops To Minus 74 FAIRBANKS, Alaska LB Fair banks was basking in a compara tive "heat wave" Saturday after warm breezes from the Pacific snapped a cold spell that had sent the mercury tumbling to as low as 56 degrees bzlow zero. The thermometer edged up to zero yesterday just as a severe shortage of fresh food was develop ing in the city. Some stores ran out of eggs, milk and fresh produce during the cold snap, which saw the tempera ture in nearby Dunbar dip to 74 degrees below zero. Although airlines planes man aged to reach here each day dur ing the cold spell, the flights car ried little more than passengers and mail. Little air cargo which required unloading was carried. The planes had to take off al most immediately to prevent the engines from getting cold. When airplane engines cool off in 50 de grees below zero temperature, get ting them started again is a major task.
