So reasoned menfs with Russia WASHINGTON, Sept. 20— (? — President Truman said today the only way to deal with the present world emergency is to meet force with force. He added that he dislikes this necessity very much. The President told a.news confer- ence the United States will continue to seek agreements with Russia, but will continue to build up its armed strength to see that these agree- | ments are enforced. He said the United Nations was organized to settle differences | without the use of force. But, he | added, Korea is just one example | of how the Communists have made | this -impassible, He said there is a stronger possib- | ility of peace now than ever before if the United States sticks to its knitting and goes ahead with its defense program. No Fees, Says Boyle The President also: 1—Said he has the word of Chair- man William M. Boyle, Jr., of the Democratic -National Committee | that he took. no fees in eopnection | with RFC loans and he beligves him.

The wind shifted late last night as the flames were, bearing down on the suburbs of Extension, White Panids Road and Harewood and sars, Curtis Shattuck, head of a special committee, reported that his com- mittee recommended that the Cham- ber’s participation in the Coast Guard hearing be limited to consid- eration of towed barges only and without prejudice for a Congres- sional hearing regarding the reclass- ification of Southeast Alaska waters, Charles G. Burdick, assistant re- gional forester of the U. S. Forest Service here, explained the road situation from the Forest Service angle, “Juneau will have a 50 to 75 percent increase in population be- fore long,” Burdick said. “Pros- pects for a pulp mill here are en- couraging now. That means an increased traffic load on existing roads. It is more important to improve present roads than to ex- tend them.” He pointed out that the $9,000,000 requested for the improvement and extension of Southeast Alaska roads had been reduced to $7,000,000. This appropriation was specifically al- loted for road improvement, he said. “The Forest Service cannot spend money for roads other than those for which the funds are appropriat- ed,” Burdick emphasized. No Fund Diversion Previous suggestions by Chamber members had been to divert funds the photo (above) is the home of Sgt. Elmer C. Burkey and family. Rep.
