? THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXII, NO. 11,180 —_ JUNEAU, ALASKA, TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1949 " MEMDER A SSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS Federal Works Program in Alaska Endorsed MAY LIFT BLOCKADE ON BERLIN Russian Terms Reported ' Submitted-Things Look Hopeful Says Official ‘WASHINGTON, April 26— — The United States said today “the way appears clear” for lifting the Berlin blockade provided the Rus- sian terms actually are those pub- lished by Moscow. The State Department got out a 1,200-word statement of the Ameri- can position. It was understood the United States, Britain and France| had discussed the published Soviet terms and found them acceptable. The only reservation appears to be whether the Russians intend to propose‘any further conditions. The formal State Department 'pronouncement came after a round of top-level government confer- ences. One of these was a report to President Truman from Dr. Philip Jessup, the American dele-| gate to the United Nations Security Council. Jessup had discussed the Soviet proposal at Lake Success, N.Y., with Jacob A. Malik, the Rus- sian U.N. delegate. For himself, Jessup told reporters “things look hopeful.” That pre- sumably was an indication that he inclined to the view that the Soviet proposal is a sincere one and that there are no hidden conditions to be sprung later. The terms are, first, that the Soviet blockade of Berlin and the Western counter-blockade of the Soviet zone of Germany should be lifted simultaneously. Second, ythat a date should be fixed ahead of time for a meeting of the Big Four Council of Foreign Ministers (the Western powers plus Russia) to be held after the block- ade is lifted.

The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON — If and when the State Department opens its sec- ret files on China, they will reveal one of the great human tragedies of post-war reconstruction. The files will’ also tell a story that will make this nation think twice about pouring more U. S. dollars down the yawning maw of China. The diplomatic files show that, with most of China’s 400,000,000 people in desperate need, the Chi- nese Nationalist hierarchy insisted on contrdlling supplies, and even discouraged U. 8. purchases by other Chinese. Powerful in this hierarchy were T. V. Soong and M. H. Kung, both brothers-in-law of ~Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Both are also among the wealthiest men in Chi- na or the world, and there is little evidence that they have dipped into (Continued on Page Four) TERMS OF LIFTING REVEALED Statement Distributed by Tass-Views of Foreign Diplomats Given By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW, April 26—(P—Mos- cow's press published today the terms under which the Soviet Union offer to lift the blockade of Berlin. A statement distributed by Tass, the official news agency, said that if an agreement can be reached on a date for a meeting of the Coun- cil of Foreign Ministers, then: 1. The Russians will lift their communications ban, provided the West ends its counter-blockade of Eastern Germany; 2. The Berlin currency question which hampered the four-power talks in Moscow last summer, can be discussed by the Four Powers after the communications restric- ticns are lifted. 3. The entire German question should come up for review by the four foreign ministers. DON'T GET EXCITED Some foreign diplomats here said this offer was the first sign in months that some agreement might te possible between the East and the West, but they warned against either hasty optimism or undue pessimism. One diplomat said the Soviet statement “holds a promise” which was worthy of con- sideration by the United States, Britain and France. (The Soviet statement comes closer than in any previous over- tures to meeting the West's de- mand—that the blockade be lifted first before any four-power talks :an be held on the future of Ger- many as a whole. The offer was made public only a few hours after che announcement by the West in Germany that difficulties barring the way to a West German gov- ernment had been cleared away. Russia vehemently opposes a sepa- rate West German state.) It would appear here, from the terms of the offer, that a unified Berlin currency no longer is a prime condition for the lifting of communications restrictions in Germany's first city. If this be true, it represents a step forward from the point where the Four-Power discussions broke down last sum- mer. —_— e ® 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 WEATHER REPORT (U. 8.

HALIBUT LICENSE | VALIDATIONS ARE | AUTHORIZED NOW| Part of the uncertainty under£ which halibut fishermen have had! to work, in preparation for the season which opens Sunday, is cleared up with word received to- day by the Customs office. James J. Connors, Collector of' Customs, received a telegram from!} che International Fisheries Com- | mission at Seattle. Validation of licenses is autho-; vized, starting today for Area 3‘ Cape Spencer to Unimak Pass) and starting Thursday, for Area 2 (Cape Flattery to Cape Spencer). Approval of 1949 regulations has ieen delayed, so 1948 regulations are still effective until further{ notice. According to Dan Ralston, acting director of the U.S. Fish and Wild- ife Service, the chief change in rules from last year will te in the matter of quotas. From Washington, D.C., the Cus- toms office received word concern- ng Canadian halibut vessels. Ac- cording to Public Law 718 passed sy the 80th Congress, Canadian! fishing vessels engaged in North Pacific halibut fisheries are permiv.- ted to land their catches and sell in Alaska ports of entry, through the 1949 season. They also may sell incidentally caught sablefish and olack cod. - Customs offices at Alaska ports of entry are instructed to comply midnight April 30 until the be- ginning of the closed season. The laws are applicable to all regula- tory areas as determined under regulations of the Fisheries Commission. No authority is given for landing catches at any customs station or any other place which-is not a; port of entry, “under any condi- tions.” According to Tom Petrich, Dep- uty Collector, this authority does not extend to fishing for black cod and sablefish after the closlng of the halibut season. International y Alaska ports of entry are Junea.u,!u: L Sitka, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Peters- curg, Cordova, Hyder, Craig and Skagway. — et JURORS EXCUSED | All members o the petit jury[ panel and the special venire ans- wered roll call this morning in District Court, then were excused by Judge George W.

The wheels of their monoplane touched the asphalt runway at Fullerton airport at 11:45 a.mn. (Pa- cific Standard Time). ‘They had been in the air 1,008 hours, one minute. Six weeks was the goal they set when they took to the air March 15 for their fourth try at exceeding the 10-year-old €ndurance record of 7126 hours. Their three previous failures— once because of magneto trouble, April 26— Itwice because of ice on the cartu- reter--had been costly and they were kept in the air only by con- tributions of $1 each from some 200 Fullerton citizens. The Chamber of Cocmmerce also had chipped in {some $1500 from its surplus cash. A great cheer erose as a shot from the official timing stand an- inounced that the pair had passed the 1008-hour mark. Immediately, the plane started down on its approach. The pilots—who alternated at the controls during the long grind —Ileft the plane under their own power and embraced their wives. Then they started walking to the stand. Riedel was out of the plane first. Friends had been waiting for them, expecting to have to carry the pair from their cramped quarters in the little Aeronca sedan. Both appeared in unexpectedly good physical condition, deeply bronzed by the sun. Barris said: “We're pooped, but we'll 'be all right in a short time. The worst thing was the monotony of the motor. It just about.drove us crazy. We'll. never try it again. iThis is our last try.” Said Riedel: “All I'm interested in is getting out of here and get- ting some rest.” 1 SPEAKERS WILL ADDRESS KIWANIS GOOD WILL DAY At tomorrow’s luncheon meeting in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room, the Juneau Kiwanis Club obser- vance of Uhited States-Canada Good Will Week will feature talks by two speakers.

Sullivan resigned today in protest against 8serapping the 65,000-ton super air- eraft carrier. Sullivan is known to have sub- mitted his resignation in a talk Wwith the president yesterday. His action, which had been ex- pected, is based on his belief that the navy is not being given proper cen, tion in defense policy. Secretary of Defense Johnson's order Saturday to stop work on the $189,000,000 carrier was just one of a series of incidents against which Sullivan is protesting, asso- clates said. Top White House aides expressed belief Sunday night that the tor- pedoing of the carrier project was “the straw that broke the camel’ back” so far as Sullivan is con- cerned. BLASTS AT JOHNSON WASHINGTON, April 26.—(P— Secretary of the Navy John L. Sul- livan resigned today with a blast at Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson for blocking the Navy's plans to build a super aircraft car- rier. In a letter to Johnson, called the Defense Secretary’s order to halt work on the carrier “arbi- trary” and said it was taken with- out even consulting the Navy. Sulliyan added: “The conviction that this will result in a renewed effort to abol~ ish the Marine Corps and to trans- fer all naval and marine aviation glsewhere adds to my anxiety.” Sullivan’s office made this letter public shortly after President Tru- man accepted his resignation. The White House, announcing Syllivan’s, resignation, made public an exchange of letters between him and the President. These letters said notning about the carrier. Sullivan wrote Mr. Truman: “More deeply than words can ex- pres, I regret the circumstances that prevent me from continuing in my present post to help you in your magnificent efforts.” The President leit the effective date to Sullivan.

Sullivan | NAVY SHIPS MOVING OUT OF SHANGHAI Commun gI_Spearheadsf Rolling On - Two More China Cities Taken By FRED HAMPSON SHANGHAI, April 26—(M--Heavy U.S. naval vessels moved out of Shanghai today as two Communist spearheads rolled toward the Shanghai-Hangghow area. The Communist radio in Peiping boasted two Nationalist armies, the 20th and 99th, had been wiped out. Two towns, IHing, 85 miles west of here, and Chingtai, 60 miles southwest of Nanking, were cap- tured, the radio said. The Communist broadcast said the Nanking-Iangchow highway bad teen cut. Government garrison readquarters said Red advance units were around Soochow (Wuh- sien), 40 miles west of here. REDS MOVE ON Red capture of Ihing, on the west oank of Lake Tai, would mean the Communists were half way to Hangchow, where some 300,000 gov- srnment troops are believed dug in. A rapid thrust could cut the Shanghai-Hangchow corridor. The American ships went down the Yangtze estuary irom here to avoid involvement in the civil war. The British followed the Ameri- can lead and withdrew warships of their Shanghai force. Movement of the ships into the Yangtze estuary will put them out ot artillery range when the Reds ar- rive in the world's: fourth largest sity. 2 SHANGHAI 1S READY When the Communists would ;ome no one knew. But Shanghai appeared ready to receive them without resistance. Most of the city’s 5,000,000 inhabitants expect the Reds to walk in and take over as they did the Naticnalist capital of Nanking. No one seemed to know how far away the Communists were. The Shanghai garrison command canned publication of all war news :xcept what it put out. €ince it was impossible to get anything from headquarters, there was vir- .ually no news in Shanghai news- papers. The Central News agency, Is- suing a garrison communique, said operations in the Nanking-Hang- ¢how-Shanghai triangle had slack- .ned during the past 48 hours. Military men do not think the Jommunists have enough troops across the Yangtze yet to start olling in strength toward the big target of Shanghai and Hangchow. SHANGHAI PANICKY Meanwhile Shanghai, which had aken the situation with relative calm, was beginning to show evi- lence of panic. Shanghai’s com- merce seemed grinding to.a halt. ihe Securities Exchange was open ut there was little business. Many | Jftices failed to open. The money narket was so chaotic as to be neaningless. The U. 8. dollar .| ‘etched 700,000 gold yuan. The pre- war Chinese sijver dollar soared until it cost $10 to buy six of them. The flagghip Eldorado of ' Vice Adm. Oscar Badger, commander ot U.S. naval forces in the western Pacific, moved from the No. 1 buoy on Shanghai’s famed ‘“Battleship Row” at 11 am. It was followed down the muddy Whangpoo river cy the troopship Chilton carrying one battalion of marines. Withdrawal of the American and British naval craft came less than 24 hours after the Communist radio demanded that the “aggressive military forces” of the two “im- perialist” nations get out of China. U. 8. Consul John Cabot esti- mated 100 Americans, mostly women and gkildren, boarded U.S. Navy vessels for evacuation in any cmergency. Another group of Americans is expected to board the S.8. Wilson of the President lines when it ar- rives tomorrow from Hong Kong. A British Consular official said 150 British nationals had registered to leave on the Dutch steamer Boissevain. French Consular offi- clals said they had only one Frenchman listed so far as want- ing to leave. “We are glad Frenchmen are re- maining to maintain our national interests,” one official said, SAYS CONDITION IN ALASKA OF FWL NATIONAL DISGRACE National Di_raor of lzaak Walton League Lam- basts Fed. Govt. ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April 26— | (P—Describing the condition of Al- | B fish and wildlife as a “na- tional disgrace,” a national directol | of the Isaak Walton League says the Federal government shoud | “protect the fish and wildlife or | turn it over to Alaskans to control.” | The statement was made by Bur- | ton H. Aiwood of Winnetka, IlL, who returned to his home yesterday after five weeks in Alaska as sgec- ial representative of the Walton League. Atwood said the United States is “just as guilty of exploitation of Alaska as any other absentee inter- est.” He said millons are taken annually in profits from the Prib- lof fur sales but that only tok- en appropriations are made to sup- | port the Fish and Wildlfe Ser- vice in the Territeryy. Travels 10,000 Miles The conservationist traveled more than 10,000 miles in Alaska, fly- | ing patrols with Wildlife agents, visiting trappers and Eskimo herd- ars, and conferring with civic, mu- nicipal and military leaders. He said the growing population of the Territory is bringing increas- ed hunting pressure, both legal and illegal. “Animals and fish are being tak- en at an alarming rate,” he de- clared. “Some natives and whites in remote areas even now are pre- paring for what they call their spring duck season’ in open de- fiance of the law. Alaskans Powerless “Alaskans are powerless to act. The Federal government has the authority and responsibility, but year after year neglects this great natural resource.” Atwood said that because of in- sufficient funds, the Fish and Wild- life Service can employ only a dozen agents to patrol all of Alaska. “Tiny Connecticut has twice that | many men and New York State has two hundred,” he said. “It would seem reasonable that the huge profits from the sale of Prlb-l ilof seals should be devoted to per- petuation of fish and wildlife in Alaska. Brftain long since has turned her portion ef this profit over to Canada.” Wolves Are Menace The Illinois visitor said that wolves are causing widespread de- pletion of game animals. He. said the Wildlife Service has oy four men for predator control. “One Eskimo herder near Nome with whom I talked waited for al- most a year for the harassed pre- | dator control agent to get around to protecting the Seward Peninsula | reindeer from wolves. Finally after losing 45 head — 20| of them in one night — he used the same measures the predator| agent would have used had he been | there. But although he was pro-| tecting his only means of livelihood he is faced with a possible jail| sentence for violating Federal law,” Atwood declared.

Gen. Fleming De- clares Immediate Fed- eral Action Essential By CHARLES D. WATKINS WASHINGTON, April 26—®— Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) said today the Federal Works Agency has endorsed his bill to set up a Federal Works Program in Alaska. He quoted Maj. Gen. Phillip B. Fleming, Administrator of the agency, as saying that immediate federal action to improve living conditions in the Territory is es- sential if Alaska is to attract per- manent residents in large numbers. Magnuson’s bill is scheduled for a hearing before the Senate Public Works Committee Thursday. It would authorize the FWA to accept application for public works from Alaska and its subdivisions. Feder~ al funds for such construction would be matched locally. Active Program Necessary “The United States has held Al- aska for over 80 years,” Magnuson quoted Fleming. “It is now time that an active program for (its growth and development be under- taken.” The plain duty of th: government is to promote in all practicable ways the development and settlement of Alaska. “Compared to the benefits which the nation as a whole will derive irom adequately developed, strategic Alaska with a large population of permanent residents enjoying the conveniences and comforts of mod- ern life, with numeérous thriving modern communities, with farms and industries—compared to the value of all these and the increased wealth that will thereby accrue— the cost to the Federal Govern- ment of the program contemplated under your bill will be relatively insignificant. Rich Returns “Every dollar spent, in my opin- ion, will bring rich returns to the American people which cannot be evaluated in dollars and cents.” Fleming, Magnuson told a report- er, sald that the American people have had many examples in their history resulting from settlement {and economic development of oth- er frontiers. “Alaska will be no exception,” he continued. “Its size, strategic loca- tion, resources and potentialities reasonably assure incalculable bene- | fits from a program stimulating | the settlement and development of Alaska.” Stimulate Expansion Fleming sald the Magnuson bil | would stimulate the expansion of community life in the Territory by provideing the necessities and con- veniences of life which are an in- tegral part of the American stan- |dard of living. ‘The bill would authorize addition- al waterworks, sewers, schools, hos- pitals, street improvements and oth- er types of community facilities. iy 'ALASKA DOCKS WITH 46; T0 WESTWARD 9 TONIGHT Docking this afternoon at 2 o'clock from Seattle, the Alaska cails tonight at 9 o'clock to the Westward.
