Nations Assembly | last night with a final Russian charge of “hypocrisy.” ‘The accusation was voiced by Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, in reply to a statement by American Delegate Warren R. Austin that the alliance is not aggressive and tkLy. the Uniteq States does not want war with anyone. The Russian delegate declared Austin’s speech concerning the de- fensive character of the pact was “thoroughly hypocritical and false.” Gromyko charged that the truth aktout the purposes of the treaty with be found in speeches by American political leaders instead of by “pompous phrases about the| struggle for peace and security.” COLD WAR TO BE LONG U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson indicates he expects the: cold ‘war with Russia to last a long time.

ABHINGTON— Despite talk about the boys “needing a rest,” real story behind the 10-day Eas- ter recess of the House begining to- day, is that Speaker Sam Rayburn and majority leader John McCor- mack are sending their charges home for a “refresher” course. Rayburn and McCormack are chiefly concerned over another, GOP-Dixie coalition against repea of the Taft-Hartley labor law, and they think some elbow-rubbing with the folks at home is the best pre- ventive. The strategy applies to Republicans from industrial dis- tricts as well as Democrats. Meantime, local AFL and CIO leaders ate planning to give the returning politicos a stiff workout during the 10-day ‘“vacation.” Rayburn and McCormack are keenly aware that the Taft-Hartley| vote will be a crucial test they: (Continued on Page Four) [their refueling crew traveling in a | Airlines, Inc., claims the Glenn ENDURANCE RECORD BROKEN BY FLIERS; ENGINE PURRING ON FULLERTON, Cglif, April 15— (M—With a new world’s endurance record on their log, Dick Riedel and Bill Barris droned on today toward their goes of 1,000 hours— six full weeks aloft.

More than three-score persons in various western Washington cities required treatment for injuries. The $15,000,000 estimate of dam- age was made last night by Charl- es W.

He conducted a telephonic survey of eight cities which report- ed roughiy $6,400,000. in damages to buildings, power systems, water supplies, etc. Bryant said that oy the time he received figures from seven other quake-rocked cities he felt that the $15.000,000 total would be reached or passed.

The President replied that his earlier request to Congress for an! extension still stands. | The controls fix the amount a buyer must pay down _on such things as refrigerators, B‘Atos. ete., and limit the time in which the balance may be paid.

The Alaska listings are contained in the 1949 Natlonal Airport pro- gram, an annual report prepared by the CAA in accordance with the Federal Airport Act. The plan does not represent an allocation of funds. However, the estimated cost of the construction and development for Alaska outlined in the plan would be $28,662,000. Alaska, unlike the states, does not have authority to accept federal aid. The latter, in virtually all states, approximates one-half of the estimated costs. Locations recommended for new or improved airports: Anchorage (Anchorage Interna- tional), Bethel, Canyon, Curry, Dillingham, Fairbanks (Fairbanks Airport), Flat, Fort Yukon (Wil- Jdams Field), Haines, Homer, Kenai, Kodiak . (Kodiak . Alrport), Kotse- bue, McGrath, Matanuska (Mata- nuska Glacler), Naknek village, Ninilehik, Palmer, Platinum, Ruby, Seldovia, Beward, Tanalian Point, Valdez..
