Message to Russians
Anchorage, Alaska (U.R)
The first attempt by a privately
own Alaska radio station to
pierce Russia's Iron Curtain by
addressing a message directly to
the Russian people was made by
radio station KBYR here Fri
day. The message was broadcast by
the station's news editor, Jack
Wandell, as the preface to a
regular news broadcast.
"We strongly suspect that a
good many Siberial Russians
secretly tune -in to KBYR not
only to hear our music but more
probably to hear what the truth
is by listening to our news broad
casts," Wandell told his listen
ers.

News and Notes
From Camp White
By SID HOLLINGWORTH
Several of the members have
expressed interest recently in
the operation of the Canteen
Service, since ' it does provide
the means set up by the Veter
ans Administration for meeting
their needs in the extras of food,
clothing and supplies.
Before this service was estab
lished in 1948, the operation of
the "general store" was handled
as a private concession. The in
tent of the new arrangement
was to offer an equivalent to the
canteens of, the armed services.
Difficulties encountered at the
inception, in making contracts
immediately after the war when
items were scarce, and in admin
istration as a branch of Special
Services, have been ironed out.
The Veterans Canteen Service
is a separate branch of the Vet
erans Administration, responsible
at stations to the manager, and
coming under the general super
vision of the department of medi
cine and surgery. The entire
operation ia self-supporting. ,
The financial load is carried
through a .revolving fund, per
mitting a uniformity of prices
and services throughout the sys
tem. The canteen in the smaller
and more isolated hospitals can
function below cost of operation
through the "chain" arrange
ment. Headquarters for the can
teen service in this area is San
Francisco, where matters of
policy and purchases are han
dled. At Camp White, the canteen
includes the store where a lim
ited variety of goods may be pur
chased by members and person
nel living at the station. There
is also a food department, includ
ing the coffee shop, as well as
the barber shop.

Browned Claims GOP
Leads in I ndictment
Of Labor Racketeers
Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Attorney
General Herbert Brownell Jr.,
said Friday night the Republi
cans have indicted more than
six times as many labor rack
eteers in the last two years as
the Democrats did in the pre
vious eight years.
The attorney general said be
fore the southwest legal foun
dation that only 23 persons were
indicted by the Democrats from
1945 to 1952. Of these, only five
were convicted, he said.
46 Convictions
But the Republicans, since
taking over, have indicted 249
and obtained 46 convictions,
Brownell claimed. Forty two of
the 149 still must be brought to
trial. He said his office is con
tinuing to open new cases at the
rate of 50 a month.
"The conclusion is inescapable
that the relationship between
the long years with no enforce
ment of these salutary laws and
the flourishing state of industrial
racketeering that we encoun
tered in many parts of the coun
try in 1953 is one of cause and
effect," he said.
Ciiei St. Louis Area '
He cited as an example labor
conditions in the St. Louis area.
He said a grand jury report dis
closed that the construction in
dustry there "was subject to a
reign of terror." That was be
cause a handful of thugs and
gangsters had forcibly seized
control of certain key labor
unions, he said.
Evan Dale, president, of the
Southern Illinois district coun
cil of the Hog Carrier's and Com
mon Laborer's Union who is
now serving a 15 year prison
sentence, was cited as the most
powerful racketeer in southern
Illinois.
In New York alone, Brownell
said, 13 labor leaders were con
victed for racketeering on the
waterfront.

more, passing on at 100. He was

Graceful Eating -
How does your wife look
when eating? For example,
when eating spaghetti? A clever
woman, after long and consci
entious practice, can eat spag
hetti gracefully. However, no
woman can possibly continue to
look charming while eating corn
on the cob. That is why that de
lightful delicacy is rarely served
at dinner parties.

technique is to "keep her hus

"keeps him on his toes." Per
haps it does. It also probably

at times. It is a stupid and selfish
way to treat a husband.
