COAL IS THE KEY
We frequently read of great and costly expansion
plans projected by leading industries. But few of us,
probably, stop to think that these plans could never
be consummated if it weren’t for other industries
which are not mentioned.
As an example, the automobile makers will spend
more than $1,000,000,000 on new plants and equipment
this year. And the steel and electric power industries
are also engaged in large expansion projects.
All three of these basic enterprises are dependent
to a considerable extent on a fourth industry—soft coal.
It takes a ton of coal to make a ton of steel, and the
average automobile requires two tons of steel. And
coal is the fuel used in the generation of a very large
percentage of our electricity, including that consumed
in our biggest cities and most concentrated industrial
areas.
This explains, in part, why top industrial leaders,
government officials and others are emnhasizing the
fact that, despite the growing use of other fuels and
despite whatever is done to make atomic energy serve
peace time pursuits, we must have coal. And that
means that we must have a vigorous and profitable coal
industry—for only that kind of industry can be trusted
to meet the greatly increased demands that will come
in future years.

Army Will Decide
On Barge or Ship
To Serve Alaska
SEATTLE, UP)—1The Alaska
Steamship Co. said Saturday the
Army has indicated it will review
the question of whether refriger
ated cargo for military installa
tions in Alaska should be carried
by ship or barge.
It was disclosed Friday that the
Army planned to reduce the ship
ments now being moved in Alaska
Steamship Co. vessels and make
more use of the Alaska Freight
Lines’ barge service.
The barge line carries perish
ables in vans in which the tem
perature is controlled.
“The matter of whether refrig
erated ship or temperature-con
trolled van service shall be used
for handling military refrigerated
cargo to the Anchorage area is
important to all Alaska,” W. J.
Manahan, general traffic manager
of the steamship company, said.
“A carrier undertaking to serve
all the territory must provide a
variety of service, both dry cargo
and refrigerated, to many areas—
military civilian centers and re
mote villages and fish-processing
plants, refrigerated cargo fo'r
which may not satisfactorily be
handled by controlled-tempera
ture vans.”
Manahan said it would be econ
omically impossible to operate its
refrigerator ships, the Palisana
and the Lucidor, without the mili
tary cargo.
On the other side of the ques
tion, Everett Nowell, traffic man
ager of the Alaska Freight Lines,
said the barge line is able to give
the Army more frequent service
than it has been getting.
8 Western Oil Companies
Open Iranian Oil Talks
LONDON, (tfi—Britain Saturday
announced a mission representing
eight Western oil companies will
leave immediately for Tehran to
open negotiations for the restart

oil industry.
The United States has pressed
strongly behind the scenes for
some kind of an oil settlement
which would start oil revenues
pouring once more into the almost
empty treasury of strategic Iran.
There will be a health movie
shown at LWY Community Cen

Brownell Says FBI, Justice Dept.,
Courts Doing Good Job Routing
Reds But Stricter Laws Needed
WASHINGTON, UR—Atty. Gen.'
Brownell says the FBI, the Jus
tice Department and the courts
are ever vigilant but the nation
needs more stringent laws to dig
the Communists out of hiding.
Brownell did not mention by
name Sen. McCarthy, whose Sen
ate Investigations Subcommittee
had done much of Congress’ Red
probing. But the attorney general
left the strong impression, in a
nationally televised speech Friday
night, that he believes the law
enforcement agencies of the exec
utive branch and the courts are
capable of dealing with the Red
menace at home.
And he said the operation of a
law already on the books might,
in effect, result in outlawing the
Communist Party through its own
acts.
Brownell’s report to the nation,
undertaken at the direction of
President Eisenhower, brought
expressions of approval for his
Generosity of Newsboys
And Alaska Airlines Gives
Nome Child New Home
SEATTLE — Because of the
generosity o'f the Seattle News
boys Union and Alaska Airlines,
.IV^-year-old Christina Monroe
has a new home in Seattle.
Eight months ago, Christina’s
mother went to Seattle from the
Monroe home in Nome to stay
in a tuberculosis sanatorium. Her
father, Art Monroe, fellowed last
November to be near her mother
and try to keep up with expenses
by selling newspapers.
Christina stayed behind in
Nome with Rev. Hudgins of he
Nazarene Church. Then the Seat
tle Newsboys Union found out
about it, and decided to help re
unite Christina with her family.
They planned and talked and en
listed the help of others, includ
ing Alaska Airlines, who arrang
ed plane passage from Nome to
Seattle. Last week, thanks to
many big hearts, Christina step
ped off a plane in Seattle. Also
there to greet her was the Rev.
H. S. Palmquist, pastor of the
Central Nazarene Church, who
will find her a home near her
parents.
From Nome to Seattle is a long
step for a tiny girl, and a very
strange one too. But to Christina
Monroe it’s the beginning of a
new life and a sure sign that
.here are some pretty fine people
in the world.

objectives from both Republicans
and Democrats in Congress.
But there were no clear indica
tions that the attorney general’s
requests for new legislation would
generate action in the form he
suggested, or, in some cases, any
action at all.
His speech was regarded in some
quarters as an effort tcf take the
play away from McCarthy’s con
troversial Communists-in-govern
ment hunt. Brownell said:
“The FBI, the Department of
Justice and the courts are your
agents in dealing with this Com
munist conspiracy. All are vigil
ant in their readiness to meet any
move or emergency which the
Communist Party in America
might precipitate.”
He said new laws are needed,
however, “to destroy by legal,
orderly processes the Communist
Party in this country.”
The attorney general said the
country needs laws “to eliminate
Communist control of any indus
trial organization or labor union
in vital sections of our national
economy.”
He proposed the imposition of
the death penalty for peacetime,
as well as wartime espionage.
Brownell told his radio-televi
sion audience that when the Com
munists heard he was going to
make a speech, their leaders scat
tered and went into hiding” to see
what happens.”
In praising the FBI, Brownell
said the agency had given him
information in February, 1953,
that Premier Joseph Stalin of
Russia was ill and that he would
be succeeded by Georgi Malenkov
if he died. He said this was a
month before the Russians an
nounced on March 4 that Stalin
was ill.
The attorney general said that
in 1944 the FBI had planted
agents among a group of musi
cians “rehearsing” in a s.udio
adjoining a Communist meeting
and they had recorded the entire
proceedings of the Reds’ confer
ence.
He called FBI infiltration of
Communist organizations a major
weapon in combatting subversion,
adding that “the success of the
FBI in this regard has been so
outstanding that the Communist
Party in this country doesn’t
know which of its Communist
members to trust.”
“I assure you that makes their
conspiracy a very hazardous occu
pation,” he added.
