ALASKA IS DIFCHED, SAYS GRUENING; ~ BY MILLIONS IS “GOT T0 HAVE ROADS, ALSO HOUSING STATEMENT MADE By CHARLES D. WATKINS WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Devel- opment of Alaska is being retarded because the government pulls its purse strings too tight, Gov. Ernest Gruenirg of the Territory said to- day. Here for his annual visit, to urge the budget bureau and congress to increase the Territory's appropria- tions, Gruening in an interview an: wered questions as to Alaska’s devel- opment with hesitation but emphat- ically. “If we are to take care of the war veterans who will want to settle ¢ in Alaska the Federal government| extermination must develop a program that really will open up and develop our great resource “It mu it did in opening up the west or we will not be able to take care of the veterans.

Freez- ing rains chilled parts of the south and falling temperatures in Lhe} Mid-west made the winter setting in that region more realistic. The best weather in the land was in some séctions of the Gulf States. Snow to a depth of from 3 to 7 inches extended from eastern Ne- braska and eastern Kansas to the upper Ohio Valley. The snow storm moved eastward from the upper Mississippi Valley into the North ! Atlantic States and headed for T0 KEEP SECRE i 1 { 1 LEGAL STAFF OF INQUIRY IN PEARL . HARBOR QUITTING WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 entire legal staff of the congres- sional Pearl Harbor Committee | asked today to be excused from | further part in the inquiry. William D. Mitchell, chief coun- sel of the present Senate-House Committee and Attorney General in the Hoover Administration, told the committee that some of its members had so broadened the i scope of the inquiry that it would take months to complete it. It had been planned to wind up by Jan. 3. Mitchell read to the committee a statement which noted that while the hearings had started Nov. 15, | committee questioning has been so { extensive that the testimony of only eight witnesses has. been com- | Pleted “There -remain at least 60," he | said Mitchell said the legal staff would be glad to help a new staff take over, but said they could not work longer than December and | through the early part of January. When Mitchell had concluded his statement, Chairman Barkley (D-Ky) told the counsel “So far as this committee, the Congress and the country is con- cerned, this development is tragic.”| The Two Snags Hit WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The Pearl Harbor investigation hit two ibig snags today which threatened its future. First the entire legal staff of the joint Senate-House probe committee |asked to withdraw from the case Then the committee chairman, iSenator Barkley (D-Ky) said he was thinking of resigning from his post in the inquiry. Both cited the widening scope of the investigation and the prospects jof a prolonged sitting as a factor. | This pair of completely unexpect- {ed developments posed the question| jof how the investigation would con- tinue. Republican members of the com- ! mittee sat in silence as their Demo- cratic colledgues discussed the prob- {lem without reaching any immediate | solution. | In discussing the possibility that he, too, might withdraw from the linvestigation by resigning as chair- man, Barkley informed his col- |leagues that he expected to reach | | ‘Japan_ese Forced Prisoners to Stand Naked in Snow TOKYO, Dec. 14—The murder of eight Allied nationals was charged today in specifications filed by the U. S. Eighth Army against the first five Japanese to be prosecuted in Japan for prison atrocities. A U. S. Military Commission ap- pointed to conduct the trials will meet in Yokohama Monday morn- ing and arraignments may be held then. No date has been set for the | trials, however. | The five Japanese are former | prison camp officials and the | specifications charge them with in- flicting brutalities and suffering in hundreds of specific cases involving thousands of prisoners. Each de- fendant is charged with the death of at least one American. Cruelties listed in the specifica- tions included deliberate starvation land forcing prisoners to stand ! naked in the snow. D GET SHIPS FOR THREE COMPANIES NOW OPERATING TO ALASKAN PORTS | WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 — Hope of finding ways ,to furhish needed ships to the three companies oper- ating lines to Alaska from the Pacific Northwest was expressed today by Senator Magnuson (D- Wash) after receiving promises of support from several Senators. Magnuson's amendment to in- clude in the Ship Disposal Bill a | provision permitting, the Commission to construct or | was defeated in the Senate Wed- | nesday. At that time, Minority Leader | White (R-Me) sympathized with the plight of the Alaskan lines and said he believed a way should be worked out to aid them. White Has Say | White pointed out that the mari- time law already authorized the Maritime Commission to construct new vessels for any domestic com- pany making application and sug- gested Magnuson have the Alaskan lines apply for such aid Magnuson said White had of- fered to go with representatives of the Alaskan lines to the commis- sion to try to work out a solution. | Wiley To Help (R-Wis) also of- Maritime re-| model ships for the Alaskan lines| | Senator Wiley fered to help. He said he believed| some surplus ships might be found| available for their use. “On the other hand, with Al-; aska on the air route of the world with increased travel by air, and! undoubtedly increased settlement which will take place there, as well ¥ as increased facilities,” Wiley said, “it seems to me that the govern- ment of the United States cannot -afford to let Alaska down. . . .

Campbell, law enforcement officers today were bol- | stered by renewed confidence that a |real break is impending that will strip the cloak of mystery from | Monday's brutal murder here. Though unwilling to make prema- ture disclosures, officers feel sure 'that at last they are on the right track and will soon have the mur- dered in hand. Curler No Clue | The aluminum hair curler found [near Campbell’s body when it was discovered Monday noon in a shal- low roadside ditch in the Seatter tract and which seemed to indicate the participation of a woman in the atrocity, now has been pushed somewhat into the background with the disclosure of considerable tarn- ish on the metal of the curler which might mean that it had laid there for some time, Chief of Police John Monagle stated this morning. How- ever, that clue is not entirely dis- counted. Fist_Fights The U, 8. Marshal's office here also put a damper on reports that Campbell had engaged in at least two fights on the Saturday night WASHINGTON, Dec, 14 — CIO a5, ghjjgation “not only to Alaska President Phillip Murray described but to the West Coast and our own | the nation’s industrial picture to- | shippers wh g L day as “explosive.” s who wish to use Ameri. can railroads rat! | Testifying before the House g oo ainp g railroads.” Labor Committee in opposition to T President Truman's request for ypoon o O ul;:“unckan; fact-finding and cooling off legis- o4 eamship lines had a combined, lation an an approach to 1abor feet of 23 ships, nine of which' peace, Murray said in a prepared wene jost in the war.

By DRFW PEARSON WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders attended a secret State De- partment dinner at Blair House— usually reserved for foreign poten- tates—in order to hear a sales talk on the loan to Britain. Sales-talkers were Secretary of and freedom of democracy we have into the Mid-west region State Byrnes, Assistant Secretary Will Clayton, Secretary of the| Treasury Vinson, and Federal Re-| serve Governor Marriner Eccles. Congressional listeners were: Sen- ators George (Ga.), Vandenberg (Mich.), White (Me.), Tobey (N.| H.) Wagner (N. Y., Connally (Texas), Austin (Vt); and Rep- resentatives Bloom (N. Y., Eaton, (N. J.), Spence (Ky.), and Wolcott (Mich.). The legislators listened, but were not pleased—especially over the fact that they had not been con- sulted before all details were ar-; ranged. Both Tom Connally and; Walter George made this point.| Also they felt we had not won sufficient assurance that Britain, would end discriminatory tradei practices. ! What bothered them most, how- ever, was the idea that the British, loan might mean further large, loans to other countries. “After this loan, who is to be next?” Senator George wanted to know. “Is Russia next?” “Russia doesn’t need any large loan from us,” replied Secretary _— e (Continued on Page Four) Need for a large Regular Army was stressed by Lt. Munson. “If we are to safeguard our peace and keep the nation. free from fu- ture wars, we must maintain a strong permanent army,” said the recruit- ing officer. “The men who enter our ranks now are the men who will insure permanence to the victory just won.” ‘Coast Guard Boaf On Pacific Affer Hazardous Voyage SEATLE, Dec. 14.—The 110-foot Coast Guard cutter Naugatuck, of Philadelphia, was here today for repairs after an 8,500-mile voyage from Greenland during which she barely dodged a collapsing /iceberg and survived hurricane. She will be assigned to general duty here. Saptain of the tug, which cross- ed the Arctic Circle 22 times during wartime duties, is Lt. John F. Bow= ler, of Ayer, Mass.
