Gold Rush In Alaska“

FAIRBANKS, Allah. 0d. 8 —- (AP)—-Ple.ne loads of men and equipment headed today for a. new town on the Alaska map—l.he tent town of Fishwheel on the Yukon River near historic Fort Yukon.

It's the some of Alaska's latest gold strike. but nobody knows zlvhtfthcr it will be e bonanza or a

u .

At $35 en ounce, though, it's worth the try. and today even newspaper reporters and radio an- nouncers were flylng to the frozen sandbar in the Yukon River to stake claims as well as get news stories and recorded interviews.

The discovery was made in the middle of last week by Clifton Ca:- rcl, a fisher-man.

He went to pull his fish wheel from the water Q the winter, and saw several bright objects in the frozen sand and gravel on the wheel's axle. Examination showed them to be gold nuggets "the size of peas."

A fish wheel is a. primi.\ve"a.r- rangement like e. water wheel, but with nets instead of paddles. It turm in the current of the stream and nets any vagrant fish trying to get past it.

The tent city Saturday took its name from Carrels wheel.

Expect Session To End In December

OTTAWA. Oct. B - (OP) - Parltament will be‘ out of the trenches well before Christmas with the agenda for its fail ses- sion cleaned up. judging from the amount oi business remaining on the order paper.

Several major items in the Government's program remain to be disposed of, but. it looks ad though the legislation already started through Parliament - be- lieved to include most of the im- portant legislation scheduled for the session-can be handled by early December.

Biggest and most controversial issue still hanging fire is the Gov- ernment's resolution to obtain for Parliament power to amend the British North America Act on ex- clusively federal matters without going to the United Kingdom Par- llament.

British Await Attlee’s

Speech

LONDON, Oct. 23 —(OP)—With Prime Minister Att1ee's long-await- ed report to Parliament, Britain's socialist administration Momlay enters another phase in its struggle to avert national bankruptcy.

In a 15-minute speech likely to beccme a landmark in the Labor Party's first full term of office, the Prime Minister will unfold the Government's latest saveor-bilst program. It is expected to oontai\ plans for cutting spending in all government departments. possibly Iby as much as £300.000,000 ($930.- 000,000).

A few hours later Attlee will go on the air to tell the people what new austerlties they must face during the hard months ahead. The broadcast will be non-political, but it is certain to have a bearing on the country's vote in the next geneml election.

The only known lt€im in the economy slash is the cut of £100,- 000,000 in British imports from dol- lar sources. This was announced last summer.

Speculation as to other economy measures has been widespread Some sources believe the Govern- ment will snve money in "forward" spending. by postponing certain ex- penditure projects. This might af- fect building of schools. hospitals. municipal offices and health cen- tres. and the housing program.

The Sunday Pictorial, independ- ent, specuslted that the economy ax will fail most sharply on pur- chase of gasoline and tobacco, and ipaylng of food subsidies. The food subsidies now total 52556000000 a

year.

Other fields where moneY-fiflvini! might. be put into effect are the trill for the government's "cradle- to-the-grave" social services, which now runs close to £000,000,000 a year, and the defence services, ap- propriations for which run at £760,- 000,000 e year. '

PARIS. Oct. 23 -— (AP) _. Georges Bidault, lender of the middle-of-the road Mouvement Re- publicain Populaire, agreed tonight to try to form a new French Gov- ernment. France has been locked in a political crisis for 18 days, without a. cabinet.

Bldault, who served as chief oi state in the provisional govern- merit in 1046 and later as France's foreign minister, accepted the task after party leaders conferred throughout the day under the deepening shadow that the im- passe might lead to dissolution of parliament and new elections.

He is the third to try since the previous government fell on mt. 6. President Vincent Aurioi made the offer to Bidault after Edouard I-Ierriot, 77-year-old president of the National Assembly, tried and failed to reconcile the warring views of his own Radical Socialists and the Socialists. The M.R.P. previously had refused even to try iro form a government in this cris- S.

Even among Bidltult/s own party colleagues, there was scant hope that he could succeed where two others had foiled; He said he would not start his actual negotiations until Monday.

During the 18 days France has had two premiers without a cab- inet, one for four days. the other for two. Both resigned because they were unable to enroll a team of ministers from M.R.P. and the Socialist and Radical Socialist parties. .

This three-party coalition came apart Oct. 6 when Premier I-Ienrt Queuille, a Radical Socialist, re- signed over the issue of wages and prices in a post-devaluation econ- omy.

Since then Auriol has made the complete circuit of the ‘parties marking up the ruling combination.

The Socialists, who brought on Queuiiies downfall by demands for wage increases. failed when their man Jules Moch was unable to get the co-opcration of the Cath- olic MRP.

The Radical Socialists failerl Saturday night when Rene Mayer was unable to get the aid of the Socialists.

The situation seemed made to order for Gen. Charles de Gaulle, who long has been demanding new elections to give his own follow- ers, the Rassemblementgdu Peuple Fhnncais, a voice in the Assembly,

Tito Opposition ’ Deadly Serious For Moscow

By JAMES D. WHITE (Associated Press News Analyst) In backing Tito and Yugoslavia,

the western world is prodding e kind of Communist crazybone.

It involves something known as Russian orthodoxy. This means that whatever Moscow says ie right, and anyone daring to differ is not: a..Communist.

Tito dared to differ by running Yugoslavia according -to Yugoslav conditions. In effect, he says Mos- cow was wrong. Moscow excom- municated him for this heresy.

This may seem funny to non- Communists, but to Communist-s it is deadly serious, because if ‘Tito gets away with it others might try, and the whole Communist system. based on orthodoxy, could collapse.

Tito brought it. to a head et e time when the Russians were feel- ing around for the right way to handle an even bigger question.
