From the recently issued Report of the Alaskan Task Force, we quote the conclusions of Brig. Gen. [Elmer J. Rogers, Jr., USAF, director of plans :nd operations, headquarters Alaskan Command, as he | closed an address to chairman Lester Hunt, Leverett‘ Saltonstall and Wayne Morse, members of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee, when they were in Alaska st fall. “Now to draw some conclusions from this discus- sion,” the general says, “Alaska is a thinly populated e land which has not yef outgrown its it is a place of great distances, with terrain that is rugged and difficult to traverse, summer or winter; its economy is so undeveloped as to be incapable of supporting a military effort from indigenous resources; weather extremes render operations difficult, and some- times impossible; communications are expensive to establish and maintain, and occasiondlly fail al- together; it is an area peculiarly suited to penetration by the airplane, as witness its hundreds of bush pilots whose exploits have become legendary; in this air age Alaska’s position gives it great strategic significance for it is a part of the Arctic, that area which an acci- dent of geography placed squarely between the civil- ion centers of the world and the exploitation of which the development of the airplane now makes possible; operations in Alaska are costly in time effort, and manpower, and while necesss adapted to the peculiarities of terrain and weathe theless successfully being carried on; Alaska must be defended, in springboard for offensive air action against a possible were permitted to fall to that pistol pointed at our ily , are never- finally and, hands it for our enemy, whereas if it enemy, it would become Nation’s heart.” a ALASKA GOES TO THE ORIENT It is interesting that a Totem Pole carved in Wrangell back in 1922 will stand in one of Tokyo's public parks as a memorial to the First Japanese Trade Fair which will be held in Seattle June 17 to July 3. The totem pole was donated by the Alaska Steamship Company and it made its trip across the Pacific by American Mail Line. Its formal dedication by Senator Warren G. Magnuson on his present trip to the Orient was an event accompanied by invitations to high Japanese officials to attend the opening ceremonies of the Japa- nese Trade Fair. The choice of a totem pole for a memorial in} Japan was made because it has long been symbolic of the friendship and trade between Alaska and Seattle, | the Gateway to the Territory, and the Japanese Trade Fair is a sincere attempt to reoven the tradi- tional Seattle Gateway to Japan and the Orient, nc- cording to Herbert S. Little, cairman of the Fair. “We chose the pole as symbolic of both of Seattle’s great maritime gateways,” Mr. Ltitle said. The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) which would split the Republicans down the middle. Bridges of New Hampshire replied that Eisenhower was too smart to get into the mid- dle, that Eisenhower also might differ with Truman and run the risk of being fired. Bridges has been bustling around GOP cloakrooms more than any- one clse. He told one group joyful- ly: “This is the biggest windfall that has ever come to the Repub- llcan party.” nwr gbensnn,lp wan*p; fi“‘n marked to Bridges: “Well, you haue a new candidate for President.” “He's better than the present | President,” the New Hampshire ‘Senator shot back. “I guess there’s a lot of life in him even at 71,” piped up Lodge .of Massachusetts. [, Actually, Lodge, Duff of Penn- sylvania and Ives of New York have held some worried huddles about the MacArthur boom and how it would affect their Eisenhower boom. During one of these hud-i dles, Ives snorted: around here!” Smith of New Jersey, the former Princeton professor, has been quite critical over the fact that Mac-| Arthur wasn't left in Japan to keep the occupation intact and complete the peace treaty. But privately Bmith seemed to approve of remov- ing MacArchur from military com- mand. Senators Knowland and Nixon,; both California Republicans are| eager-beavers on the MacArthur bandwagon. But Nixon had an in-} teresting conversation with Duff of Pennsylvania just before MacArthur was fired. “What party does Eisenhower be- long to?” Nixon asked. Duff, one of the strongest boos- ters for Eisenhower, assured him that Tke was a Republican. “I hope so,” declared “He’s the man for us.” Nixon, however, is now beating the bass drum on the MacArthur bandwagon. Nixon. Taft Discouraged Impeachment During the first Republican meeting in ex-speaker Joe Martin's office on the morning MacArthur was fired, Congressman Charlie Halleck of Indiana demanded that Republicans immediately press for They also felt it would be an af- front to President Truman. However, Martin handed a vir- tual ultimatum to his old friend, speaker Sam Rayburn. He gave him until 2:30 Friday to agree to invite MacArthur to a joint ses- sion of Congress. “MacArthur has been away ‘14 years,” Rayburn drawled sourly. “What's all the rush?” So Martin extended the deadline to four o'clock. Martin didn't say so, but the reason he pushed Rayburn was be- cause MacArthur's office in Tokyo had given him a veiled ultimatum that the General might not speak in Washington at all unless con- ditions were to his choosing; also b i Lo \qmw in'a hurry in )fiwfifigfian ‘his ‘ftiefary.

He demanded a full-dress meeting in the House Chamber. Otherwise, he warned, the Republicans would rent the vast Uline arena—an ice palace where the circus is held—and an- nounce to the world that the Dem- ocrats would not permit MacAr- thur to address Congress. Wearily, Rayburn gave in. MacArthur Hearing The Senate Armed Services Com- mittee had agreed upon a secret list of witnesses for the MacAr- thur hearing before they received the General's first telegram declin- ing to appear. The chosen witnesses are: Secretary of Defense Mar- shall, General Bradley, General Wedemeyer and Admiral Radford. The group was agreed upon after much debate in a series of secret meetings. First, the Republican members gathered in the office of Senator Bridges of New Hampshire and prepared an ultimatum that MacArthur must be called. Chairman Russell of Georgia in- terrupted a brief ation to fly back to Washington, conferred with Bridges and gladly agreed to call MacArthur. Later the full commit- Truman’s impeachment. It was Bob Taft, however, who demurred. Such a move, he said, was asinine. It would be much smarter, he advised, to bring Mac- Arthur back to the United States and build up sentiment for his case before the Republican party went all-out for him. The impeachment idea was then ydropped, though Joe Martin told GOP colleagues to keep talking about it. “We're got to keep the fire burning,” he said, half joking. Martin’s Ultimatum It was Joe Martin who adroitly masterminded the drive to invite MacArthur to a joint session of Congress. At first Democratic leaders were decidedly lukewarm, argued it would set a bad prece- dent for Congress to roll out the red carpet for a general, especially one ousted for insubordination. tee was called behind closed doors at which time Russell insisted that Marshall and Bradley must also be called to tell the other side of the story. Bridges then demanded that General Wedemeyer and Admiral Radford—who tangled with the air force two years ago—should also testify, since they are expected to back up MacArthur’s Far Eastern policy. In the end, it was decided to call all of them. RAINBOW GIRLS WILL MEET SATURDAY P.M.
