Of this $2,000,000,000 allotment, the Air Force will spend approximately $1,345,000,000 to buy some 2,700 planes, while the Navy will lay out $654,000,000 for 1,500 planes In the main, this prompt decision funds is desirable. to some semblance of activity—which is important in itself to our long-term defensive position. It will start the replacement of obsolete type planes. But there is a real danger, if the pace of procure- ment is too heavy. We may wind up with unduly large numbers of military planes which were the latest thing in 1948 butswill not be, in 1950 or 1952. And the danger of major war would seem to be consider- ably greater, a. few years from now, than in the mmediate future.

ENCOURAGEMENT After years of planning and surmounting of many obstacles, Southeast Alaska may at last secure a pulp project and it has remained for a Juneau boy, by persistent efforts, to negotiate a deal which seems now assured. The young man is Bernhard M Mullen, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Mullen. For the past several years, operating in the East, young Mullen has been interest- ing financial men in an Alaska pulp project. His efforts have been successful so far, as is attested by the fact that articles of incorporation of the Alaska Industrial and Engineering Corporation, with a capita stock of $250,000, have been filed. The incorporator: are Mr. Mullen and H. L. Faulkner of Juneau anc Roy W. Johnson. Announcement of the plan of procedure were an- nounced by Mullen before leaving this week for the States. He said that during the coming summel mom’s the company will conduct, timber cruises on pulptimber allotments B and H of the Tongass Na- tional Forest plus engineering and power surveys in the immediate vicinity of Sitka. Following completion of this work it is expected a formal request shall be made of the U, S. Forest Service to establish a bidding date for the pluptimber units in that area. A group of prominent Belgian industrialists, head- ed by Charles Semal of New York haev entered ac- tively into the project. Semal visited Juneau and Sitka during March in company of Mr. Mullen and Mr. Johnson. Initially, it is planned to construct at Sitka a mill producing 150 tons of dissolving or rayon pulp daily. BILLIONS FOR PLAN Although the President did not ask for all the money Congress appropriated for military aircraft, and although he warned that he might not allot the whole sum, a good deal of it is going to be spent right promptly. Defense Secretary Forrestal has given the Air Force and Navy the green light to proceed with expenditure of just about $2,000,000,000 for new air- | craft. That is nearly two-thirds of the total sum allotted the Wafifiindlon Merry-Go-R_olmd By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page One) the disposal of lic Steel factiity, 257. War rejected these inadequate. The Secretary of Defense, how- were ver, is not one to give up easily. de has had his way in Washing-, ton too many years—and power an be a headstrong potion. This explains why Forrestal is reporte out to get the scalp of Air Secre- tary Stuart Symington, the man who licked him on the 70-group air force. At cocktail parties, Forrestal has dropped a few hints lately about his distaste for the man who came out dn top ith Congress. And talking to a group of Senators re- cently, the Secretary of Defense warned that the money for the 70- group “air lorce couldnt be spent wisely—this afier Congress had already voted the money Warming t6 his subject, Forrestal finally: mentioned Symington by (14 out nemol reaping in “He-can't get away wilh a vote dollars.
