The ex-Minnesota Governor, not a wealthy man, has spent the last two years touring the length and breadth of the USA, with cam- paign headquarters set up in sever- al states. Naturally, this takes money. The matter of who is putting up the money is impor- tant to the voting public. Most of Stassen’s backers, it can be revealed, are blue-chip busi- ness men, including some of his old Minnesota neighbors. Several of the group, it should be noted, have progressive ideas and enjoy excellent relations with labor. Here are the chief Minnesota men be- hind Stassen: Henry E. Atwood, President, First National- Bank, Minneapolis. Julian B. Baird, President, First National Bank, St. Paul. Harry A. Bullis, Chairman of the Board, General Mills, Inc. Edw. B.

RICHARDSON HIGHWAY NOT OPEN; FAIRBANKS IS STILL ACCESSIBLE Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer oxl the Alaska Road Commission, today issued a clarilying statement on road conditions between Valdez and Fairbanks. Two . statements have been made this week, he said, which { were only partially correct and may have confused the issue. Taylor says that it is possible to drive from Valdez to Fairbanks but not over the Richardson Highway. He said it can be done, however, via Tok Junction. He explained that this is possible because of the early opening of Thompson Pass just out of Valdez. This road has been opened so early this year, said Taylor, because of a light snowfall “this year making plowing operntmns easy. Plowing started at the usual time this year| but there was less snow to clear| from the highway. i The Richardson Highway, said the man who is responsible for its maintenance, will not be open for another 30 days when it is expected that the Valdez Pass road will be cleared of winter snows. e TO SELL BOAT “ The vessel Nan B of Ketchikan, was ordered sold today by Fed- eral Judge George W.

An immediate cease-fire was de- manded by Joao Carlos Muniz of Brazil, who presided over the 57- nation Assembly “in the absence of its Brazilian retiring President, Dr. Oswaldo Aranha. In a somber speech recogniz- ing a possibility of U. N. failure to solve the Palestine question, Mu- niz said: “Only the suspension of hostil- ities can create the favorable at-| mosphere which - will enable the assembly to find a solution capable of conciliating the existing antag-' onism through a broad formula of cooperation.” As the Assembly opened the flags of the 57 nations were flying out- side at half-staff in mourning for President Manuel A.

FAY WASHINGTON, April 16— (#— The Army, without a single combat | foot soldier in Alaska today, is bor- rowing from its mobile reserve to build up the garrison in that north- ern dutpost next door to Russia. Anti-aircraft and other groumd combat units from the west coast land Hawail will leave for Alaska shortly “to undergo summer train- ing in conjunction with air units,” the Army said, The effect of this “summer train- ing” will be to bolster the present | 7.000-man force now there pend- ing action in Congress on the pro- posal of Gen. Omar Bradley, Army Chief of Staff, to expand the per- manent garrison to 15,000, To Borrow Troops The number of troops to be bor- rowed ffom the Hawaiian Command and from the 2nd Division at Ft. Lewis, Wash,, wad not disclosed. The Army announcement last night sald cnly that they would establish “balance” between air mnd ground forces in Alaska. The 2nd Division {s part of the | small mobile reserve of some 54,000 | troovs upon whom the United States counis to bolster overseas forces in event of a sudden emergency. The Hawaiian Command is not jconsidered part of the mobile re- serve, but defense for the Islands. Troops sent from here for training {In Alaska are expected to be anti- aircraft personnel. The Army's admissfon that it has no combat troops in the 'Alaskan Command was by indirection. Training Assignment In announcing the training as- signment, the Army statement com- mented that “at present about 60 ipercent of the garrison is air and the remainder army service troops.” Service troops are personnel whose !job is to maintain installations, load and unload cargo at ports—but not to fight. There was some uncertainty about how many troops and air force per- | sonnel might be indicated in the Army’s statement that 60 percent of the garrison was air. A recent table given to a Senate Commit- tee by the Army indicated 7,000 men were in Alaska. However, it was inot clear whether this meant 7,000 Army service troops or whether the figure included air. If the figure re- presented only Army troops, this indicated the air strength is about 1C,500. If it is the overall figure, the air strength is 4,200. Wants 15,000 Men Army Chief of Staff Omar Brad- ley testified before a Senate Com- mittee on March 25 that the Alas- kan garrison totaled 7,000 men. He recommended, as part of a program to expand the Army to at least min- imum requirements, that the garri- son be bullt up to 15,000 men. The 4200 air force figure indi- cated in the Army statement pre- sumably does not include air groups goinz to Alaska on rotation train- ing missions. Those crews include B-29 squadrons (ten planes with about 200 men) and fighter groups of 75 planes with about 100 men.) B-29 training missions have been {conducted ‘for some time. The air force sent a fighter group to Alaska for winter maneuvers and is replac- |ing that with another fighter group scheduled to arrive in the area shortiy. Previous air force announcements have shown that one fighter group ‘and one air rescue unit is on per- manent station in Alaska. Strange Doings Denied Meanwhile, both the air force and |the Alaskan Army Command denied reports of strange doings in the { Territory. These reports included an |assertion by Rep. Margaret Smith (R-Me) that Russian planes had “violated" Alaska by flying across the borders and a Ketchikan newspaper story that a B-28 which crashed near Nome last December had been hit by a Russian sheu be~ fore it crashed.
