HAVETALK Secy. of State Summoned Home for Conference on Critical Int. Situation WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—P— President Truman and Secretary of State Marshall got together here today to talk over the critical in- ternational situation. The Secretary of State flew from the Paris meeting of the United Nations in Mr. Truman’s plane, “The Independence.” The Presi- dent had sent the plane to Paris to bring the Cabinet officer here. Mr. Truman was at the airport to meet Marshall on his arrival. ' Just 20 minutes earlier the Pres- ident had reached Washington af- ter an overnight train trip from Bufialo, where he made a campaign address last night. He cut short a political tour of New York state in order to come here for the con- ference with Marshall. The talks of the two top foreign policy framers began while Wash- 3 Boats Are InTrouble in Alaska Waters SEATTLE, Oct. 9.—®—A number Qf vessels are in danger today be- 'cluse of a storm in northern British | Columbia_and Alaskan waters. Two cannery tenders with a total of ten men aboard sent out calls for help last night when caught in| heavy seas in the Gulf of Alaska.! One of them, the Seabeck is re- | ported in a sinking condition about 40 miles southwest of Cordova. The {65-foot boat asked for immediate jaid this morning for the five men |aboard. It reported that it was leaking badly and fuel for auxiliary pumps would last only a few hours. ! A cutter has been sent from Kodidk and two Army tugs have been sent { from Whittier. Another Coast Guard ship the ATF 114, is standing by. { Meanwhile, nothing more has |been heard from the fishboat Norh twhich also called for help last night. Two injured men are aboard the Prince, a 38-foot herring boat that | is reported drifting off Capt. St. Elias northeast of Kodiak. The ves- sel is said to be in helpless condi-, tion with nine persons aboard.

He said one of its greatest needs is for more people. Asked specifically what military strength the Territory should have, the third party Presidential can- didate replied: “I don't. know how strong it is now. I think it should have good defenses. I feel Alaska is of great significance. to the United States.” In advocating development of the Territory, he said at his press conference after arriving here by A Inferior Department Of cials Give Their Views ¢ Interior Department official today Alaska ‘“quite likely' vote next week to outlaw $5,000,000 worth of fish traps.

But it was learned that well in- formed diplomats now conside: that this idea has been definitely and finally abandoned as being entirely out of line with present American policy toward Russia.

One look at his frank face and sandy hair leaves no doubt of that. Like most Scotsmen he counts his pen- nies, and also is careful of other} people’s pennies. The other day the Brandeis Law- yers Society of Philadelphia invit- ed Justice Douglas to speak at their fall meeting and afterwards sent him a check for $100 to cover trav- el expenses. The Justice returned the check, and sent instead a statment of his portunity to participate in an open meeting on Monday evening. The meeting is being sponsored by the Juneau Provisional League of Wom- ien Voters and will be held at the Grade School Auditorium beginning ; { 1at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Ernest Gruening, President, and Mrs. L. B. Avrit, Vice-President {of the league will introduce the can- | didates. Each candidate will be al- {lowed five minutes.
