NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alasks Newspapers, 1411 Wourth Avenue Bldg., Beattle, Wash. Monday, April 30, 1951 COMING STRUGGLE As fantastic as any reading we know are the articles which appear from time to time in maga- zines and newspapers speculating as to the struggle for power within the Soviet Union when Josef Stalin passes on. Nobody has any way of knowing what will happen, so that one man’s prediction is as good as nother. The wilder it is, the better chance it has of seeing print. If anyone should like to peer into the background of Russian domestic politics, he could do no better than to glance through a volume called “Journey For Our Time,” recently published, which is based on the secret journals of a ‘certain Marquis de Custine, who visited Russia in 1839. Apparently conditions have not changed as much as one would imagine they might in more than a century. The police state was just as much a reality in the days of the Czars as it is today. And whereas then the supreme rulers of all the Russias found party.” RuSsian histo: has shown that an of Fllers. S& -J(r(‘('d Stalin?

Others appggs; likely to be added to the list soon. Among-newly created defense agencies whose re- gionak offiees are;docated here, one of the most im- partant is, the; National Production Authority, which is directed, regjpnally, by the local Buredu of Foreigni and_Domestic Commerce. Another is the Office of rfiwm o which has its regional iirector &14'* he Defense Fisheries Administration, with ice in Seattle, charged with the maintenance of the fisheries food supply.

Not given much to enthusiasm, Hoover almost waxed enthumaflc about, Governor Warren. v ek Note—Warren, who ran for,vice president on the Dewey ticket in 1948, has been almost as popular with Democrats as with Republi- cans in California. He has also had considerable California labor sup- port and, unlike Taft, would prob- ably get sonfe labor backing in a national election. MacArthur and Ridgway Though General MacArthur is now quoting three-star Lt. Gen. Matt Ridgway to back up his case, the inside fact is that MacArthur quietly tried to knife Ridgway’s promotion to be a full four-star general. As a result of MacArthur's subtle opposition, the new supreme com- mander is no higher in military rank than six of his subordinate admirals and generals in the Far East. However, the joint chiefs of staff are now rushing a fourth star and the rank of full general for Ridgway. Several weeks ago, the joint chiefs recommended Ridgway for promotion from Lieutenant Gener- al to full general, and, as a mat- ter of routine, cabled M rthur for his approval But instead of adding an endorsement, MacAr- thur simply ignored the Ridgway cable. | Two weeks later, the joints chiefs cabled MacArthur again, remind- ing him that he was holding up Ridgway's promotion. However, MacArthur let the matter stew an. other two weeks. Then, instead of agreeing to an ungualified promo- tion, MacArthur recommended that Lt. Gen. George Stratemeyer, Air| Force Commander, and Vice Adm.| Turner Joy, Naval Commander, | be promoted to the same along with Ridgway. This temporarily prevented any- one from being promoted, because the joint chiefs were not ready to| award fourth stars to Stratemeyer and Joy. It also kept Ridgway, whose success in Korea has aroused Jealousy in the MacArthur camp, from becoming—at that time—the second ranking commander in Far East Note—Besides Stratemeyer and Joy, here are the ‘other officers in the Fa ave the same rank Supreme Com: Ridgwa) Lieutenant G James Van Ficet, Frank Milburn, John Coulter, Edward Almond and Vice Adm.

The project, pioneered by the Smithsonian Institution, would use giant mirrors in our southwest deserts to catch the sun’s, rays and convert them into power. It suc- cessful, it would transform the now gparsely populated southwest into ont of the great industrial areas of the mnation. er b Dr. Charles G. Abbot, ¥ in solar radiation at the$s] sonian laboratory, has two devices which he says will product nearly 1,000,000 horsepower per Ssquare mile. He has also mapped, out a 150,000-square-mile afea in the southwest, ~which has cloudless ies 70 to 90 per cent of the time, and which is the ideal location for the huge mirrors and converters. To finance some of the initial experimentation, the Smithsonian Institution is asking Oomgress dor $102,751, but word has hgked..gu that even this small amount Wi be cut back because of the econ- omy drive. ““If only one-tenth of our desert area were devoted to power pro- duction,” Dr. Abbot claims, “more than 20 times as much power cguld be produced from solar energy as is used for all heating, lighting transportation and manufacturing in the U. 8.” s Note—the question of Em power is now in the hands of*a' House Subcommittee, headed by able Con- gressman Albert Thomas of Hou- ston, Texas.
