LXXV., NO. 11,513 - POINT FOUR PLAN GIVEN SENATEO.K. Eofonn Aid Pre Program Gets * Over Three Billion Dol- lars—Goes to Truman WASHINGTON, May 25 — (B — The Senate beat down a Republican attack on President Truman's Point Four plan today and approved a $83,120,6560,000 foreign aid program. /The vote was 47 to 27. Senate approval completed Con- gressional action on the huge auth- erization measure and sent it to the White House. The House ap- proved the bill Tuesday. In effect, the Senate action was During the day, ECA Chief Paul Hoffman disclosed the money ac- tually needed may not be as much as estimated heretofore. He said he has saved $277,000,000 of this year’s European Recovery and that a $120,000,000 cut may be made in aid to Britain. Hoffman gave this report to the Senate Appropriations Committee in .a two-and-a-half hour secret session. Republicans made a stretch drive to defeat President Truman’s $35,- 000,000 Point Four plan to aid back- ward areas of the world. Senator Millikin (R-Colo) argued that the way the authorization for the program was worded it could lead to a “fantastic American im- perialism.” “How many times are we going to stumble-bum ourselves into tragedy by the loose use of words?” Millikin asked. He said the Point Four version is “without the limits of scope or dur- ation.” The bill carries $2,849,100,000 for the third year of the European Re- covery Program, including $2,700,- 000,000 of new money. “It is our belief now,” Hoffman said, “that the (Marshall Plan) pro- gram can be completed for slightly over $15,000,000,000.” He added that this would be $3,000,000,000 less than the original estimates of the four year cost. New Commander, US. Army, Alaska, Is Coming fo Post SEATTLE, May 25 — (® — Brig. Gen. Julian Wallace Cunningham will sail from here Friday to be- come Commanding General of the U.S. Army in Alaska.

The Washlngton Merry - Go- Round Bv DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1950, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) FASHINGTON Top-drawer Democrats were not happy when they got to Chicago and discovered the manner in which a quarter of a million dollars had been raised to welcome President Truman to Chu:ngo First, a ruling was obtained from the Internal Revenue Bureau that donations to the host committee were &' charity gift and tax de- ductible. - Chicago, it was argued, was playing host to the President regardless of politics. Having secured ‘this, local Dem- ocrats mailed a copy of the In- ternal Revenue ruling to prospect- ive donors with an appeal for funds And in the same letter, believe it or not, they inserted the schedule of ‘Democratic political activities. When George Killion, ex-treas- urer of the Democratic national committee, arrived in Chicago, he showed the nonpolitical appeal for tax-deductible funds, with the mocratic schedule to 'Chairman Bill Boyle. “That fool growled Killion. “It’s the first I knew about it,” remarked the worried Boyle, Later, he reported the whole matter to President Truman. .

Hupbard, “the glacier priest,” Will" leave for Alaska again tomor- row for a four-month stay. He will go on the Coast Guard cutter North Wind to get color pic- tures of the Coast Guard's peace- time activities and to photograph herds of sea otter. In commenting on his recent tes- timony before a Senate committee against the Alaska statehood bill, the Santa Clara University faculty member told a reporter: “I am not against statehood. 1 am for a dignified state of Alaska but I am agrinst that bill (HR 331) It provides for six-tenths ot pne percent of the Territory to become a state—the rest of it to be in the hands of the Department of the In- terior and other government agen- cies. “Everyhody knows that one-halt of one percent beer was no good; why should a one-half of one per- cent state be any good?” DRAFT LAW GOES TO SENATE AFTER HOUSE EXTENSION WASHINGTON, May 25 — (A — The life expectancy of the nation’s draft machinery became the Sen- ate's problem today, following over- whelming House approval of a two- year standby Selective Service Law. ‘ The measure which the Housej passed late yesterday by a 216 to 11 vote would do little but keep the draft in readiness, so that the na- tion’s youth would be registered and available if needed. With an eye to the tense inter- national situation, House members put up little resistance to the modi- fied draft extension. At the same time, they placed the National Se- curity Resources Board (NSRB) on notice that they would like to see 1 total war mobilization plan as a companion to peacetime muxtnry registration. In the House debate, Rep. Vinson (D-Ga) voiced the hope that an M-Day plan for labor, industry anc manpower would be ready by Janu- ary. Vinson, Chairman of the influ- ential House Armed Services Com- mittee, directed his hint at W. Stuart Symington, newly namec chairman of the NSRB and former Secretary for Air. The present draft law expires June 24. The bill passed yesterday would continue the registration and classification of 18-year-olds until 1952. But actual inductions woulc be prohibited until Congress de- clared the existence of a nationa emergency. MISSING PILOT IS FOUND IN QUICK TIME AFTERDOWN ANCHORAGE, May 25—#—Ar F-80C jet plane was found yester- ! day 50 minutes after first being re- ported missing. The pilot made a forced landing 12 miles northwest of Willow Airstrip, north'of here. The pilot, Lieut. Nolan Dots, was spotted by search planes as he stood alongside his grounded but un- harmed ship and waved. He had fired two flares to aid searchers. Some 29 planes of the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron con- ducted the search. A helicopter from the 10th Rescue Squadron was sent o return Dots to his home base at Elmendorf air Force base here. The pilot is with the 66th Fighter Inter- ceptor Squadron.

NEW BILL WOULD GIVE STATE CHOICE OF PUBLIC LANDS Governor TeIIs Chamber of Improvements fo State- hood Measure Under the revised statehood bill, Alaska will be offered one-ninth ot the public lands in Alaska—the one- ninth it chooses, Governor Ernest Gruening said today. Reporting to the Chamber ot Commerce on the state of Alaska’s affairs in the capital, he said that the revised draft of the statehood bill in preparation at the time he left Washington, D.C., 10 days ago, provided for scrapping the present plan of turning over four sections in-every township to the new state. He said provisions had been made in the new bill for letting the state choose those lands it wants, up to one-ninth of the public lands ex- cluding National Forest land, the land to be turned over to the state after five years during which the state will decide just what lands in the public domain it wants. Pointing out that there were no Alaskans on hand to oppose stase- hood as such during the hearings in April, he said that most of the opposition to HR 331 was based on the argument that the bill was not sufficiently generous with regard to land. “Mixed Blessing” He said possession of 'large areas of Alaska land would be a “mixed blessing” because of the cost of managing and surveying the land, and said that under the provisions of the latest draft of the bill “the state would not be obligated to take a lot of worthless tundra land.” The new state would also be granted 200,000 acres of National Forest land to provide for the ex- pansion of cities. Another amendment to ‘the orig- inal bill would leave the manage- ment of the Pribilof seal herds in the hands of the federal govern- ment, but would provide that one- half of the net proceeds from the fur seal herds would be returned to the state. This would mean about $750,000 for the state’s treasury. Governor Gruening said after the meeting that the new bill also pro- vides that the state would receive 37" percent of the royalties on oil taken from the public domain and 37% percent of the money received from sale of National Forest timber. The figure in the early bill was 25 percent. He said he believed the latest draft of the statehood bill would remove most of the objections to the original bill. In the strategy behind the passage of the early bill, it was considered best to have it passed and work for desired ameénd- ments to it when it reached the Senate. Sentiment Good Sentiment in Washington toward Alaskan statehood was friendly when he left, and the desire seemed to be to give, Alaska as good a bili as possible, he declared. Allen Shattuck asked if there wa: any discussion of the cost of ad- ministering a state should statehooc be granted. Governor Gruening an- swered that the general attitude seemed to be that there are suf- ficient resources in Alaska to sup- port a state, although there were differences of opinion on the ques- tion. He described the alleged “new draft” of the bill, made public, by Territorial Senator Howard Lyng as a “museum piece.” Goodwill Tour Set O. F. Benecke, member of the Chamber tourist committee, an- nounced that the Chamber of Com- merce goodwill tour to Whitehorse has been set for June 2 to 5. The 30 members of the organization making the tour will erect a sign pointing toward Juneau from the junction of the Haines cut-off witk the Alaska Highway. Acting secretary Herb Rowland announced that 44 members of the Portland Chamber of Commerce would visit Juneau for three days beginning July 15.

He added he had nothing to say for the present on any future plans in that direction. Supply Arms At trk2 outset, the President an- nouncea an agreement with Brit- 1in and France to supply arms tc Israel and the Arab States for the iefense of those Middle East coun- ‘ries. In a separate statement, he expressed the belief the agreement will strengthen security and con- ‘ribute to the well being of the peoples in that area. Until he can confer with Secre- tary of State Acheson, Mr. Truman withheld comment on the state- ment by Trygve Lie, Secretary Gen- eral of the United Nations, that there is a possibility of negotiations to end the cold war. The President said he could not say now whether he will visit Ohic in the Democratic campaign to de- feat Senator Taft (R-Ohio) for re- election. When asked whether he would see Joseph T. Ferguson, Dem- ocratic candidate against Taft, hec replied he would be glad to see him if he comes in. Contract Pleases Commenting on the new five year contract between General Motors and the CIO Auto Workers, he un- derstood both sides were highly pleased, and if they are he is too. A visiting German correspondent put a question through a Wash- ington reporter. He wanted to know whether the United States believes the German government can solve the problem of 8,000,000 refugees in Eastern Europe. The President re- plied that is under consideration in the U.N. and the setup in Germany. Asked why his daughter Mar- garet had cancelled her summer singing engagements, Mr. Truman said her teacher, Helen Traubel, had answered that. Miss Traubel had said that the President’s daugh- ter should take a rest.

President Truman hailed it as a move to stimulate “increased con- fidence in future security” in that area. The President expressed this view in a statement commenting on the three-power accord reached at Lon- don during the Foreign Ministers conference early this month, Under the agreement, arms can be_sent to both the Arab nations and Israel if they give assurances they will not use the military equip- ment “to undertake any act of ag- gression against another state.” Differences Ended The agreement marked an end to long-standing differences among the Western Powers over the ques- tion of providing weapons to the forces recently engaged in bitter fighting over the partition of Pal- estine. Mr. Truman said the United States believes the action “will stimulate, in the Arab States and Israel, increased confidence in fu- ture security,” thus accelerating the progress now being made in the Near East and contributing toward the well-being of peoples there.” He added: “The participation of the United States government in the declara- tion emphasizes this country’s de- sire to promote the maintenance of peace in the Near East.” The President declined to answer any question on the statement at his news conference. 3-Way Announcement ‘The announcement of the accord was made simultaneously in Lon- don, Paris and Washington. Although there was no reference in the announcement of the stra- tegic importance of the Middle East in the East-West cold war, ofticials here were of the opinion the Big- Three Foreign Ministers had this strongly in mind. Their joint statement said the three governments recognized that the Arab States and Israel “need to maintain a certain level of armed forces for the purpose of insuring their internal security, their selt defense and to permit them to play their due part in the defense ot the whole area.” Observers said this means Israel will get the tanks, artillery and jet planes she wants from the United States although North Atlantic Pact Nations have the first priority. Western military leaders said they are more concerned at the weakened state of Arab forces in countries 1djacent to Soviet Russia. 1T ARRIVE BY PAA, 25 SOUTHBOUND Pan American World Airways Flight 923 from BSeattle yesterday brought 27 passengers, including 1€ men going to the Alaska Packers Association plant at Naknek.

Bill Gettings, the union’s regional | chief, said “we're going to tighten up on them” in Alaska, Washington and Oregon. ‘There were no immediate reports of the picketing having started this mormng The Longshoremen’s Union is try- ing to force the Salmon Industry organization to negotiate far its new cannery workers' affiliate, 7-C. ASI has signed a 1950 contract with the CIO Packinghouse Work- ers Local 77. The National Labor Relations Board has charged A.S.I. with an unfair labor practice for signing the contract before the NLRB decided what union was en- titled .to represent the non-resident workers. “If we had waited for an election, no salmon would have been packed in Alaska this season,” the corpo- ration said in a statement. The NLRB also has asked a re- straining order against the cannery workers of Gettings’ union to keep them from picketing or preventing shipment of cannery supplies to Alaska. The Board terms such ac- tion a secondary boycott. The Board’s complaints against the employers and the union are scheduled for hearings Saturday morning in U.S. District Court here. ‘The, only actual start of picketing during the morning, however, the union headquarters reported, was at a Nick Bez-owned cannery ship on Seattle’s Lake Union.
