R COUNGRESSIONAL IABRARY VASHINGTON, D. C. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. LXXVIIL, NO. 11,927 Air Force Expansion Is Agreed wasmmarow, oct. 2 — @ —| Will Speed Up Supplies Senator Lodge (R-Mass) told the Senate today that top military lead- ers of this nation have formally agreed upon a vast expansion of air power during the next three years. Lodge said the Joint Chiefs of Staff “after a prolonged and labor- ious discussion” have ordered a program “for expansion of the Air Force from 95 to about 140 groups.” “The exact figure is a secret, but T believe this to be the gen- eral ratio,” Lodge, a World War II Army officer and long-time advocate of increased air power, told the Senate. Much of the expansion will go to “tactical airpower” in support of the ground forces, Lodge said, adding that would remedy “one of our gravest weaknesses.” “I understand this great incre- ment of American strength will be completed in 1954, Lodge said. He said this means that of a re- cent Congressional supplemental de- fense money bill of $5,000,000,000, about two-thirds would be allocated to airforce expansion “and much of the rest of it will be completed in 1954.” -y President’s Order Is "Subversive' Declares Senator "Is Insult fo Congress, World's Best Press and Free People” ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—{P—Pres- ident Truman’s prder on security information was denounced by Sen- ator Bricker (R-Ohio) today as “subversive” and “an insult to Con- gress, the world’s best press, and a free people.” In a speech prepared for the Senate, Bricker declared: “A free people will demand the repeal of this disgusting Iron Cur- tain order of the President.” The Ohio lawmaker urged speedy enactment of his bill to wipe the order off the books. He says there is no doubt Congress has authority to do se. Other sponsors of the repeal measure are Senators Cape- hart (R-Ind) and Ferguson (R- Mich). The bill was introduced last Fri- day and was referred to the Senate Exécutive Expenditures committee. That group has not met since. The Presidential order issued a week ago, provides for tightening and standardizing the handling of some military information. It authorizes federal civilian agencies to withhold data from the public if they deem such action is neces- sary for national security. The Defense and State Departments have had such authority all along. FROM VIRGINIA Miss Annette G. Warren of Roan- oke, Va., is a guest at the Baranof Hotel. WEATHER REPORT (U. 5.

Soviet Ambassador Ivan Sadchi- kov called on Premier Mohammed Mossadegh a few hours after Russia unsuccessfully supported Iran in at- tempting to block the U.N. Security Council from taking up the Brit- ish-Iranian oil dispute. The latest Soviet move was re- garded in western circles as a further attempt to woo Iran fol- lowing Mossadegh's order that British technicians must leave the country by Thursday, a move that brought the bitter feud over na- tionalization to a boiling climax. Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi said Sadchikov in his call promised further Soviet assistance under the two nations’ $20,000,000 trade pact. Barter trade talks are now going on in Tehran in an effort to step up deliveries that have been lag- ging under the present pact. Iranian government officials ex- pressed disappointment that the council agreed to hear the British complaint against ousting Britain’s technicians, but they said the deci- sion came as no surprise. British Leaving Iran The announcement that the Brit- ish definitely will leave tomorrow i from Abadan eased tension some- | what here. The 300 technicians will be transported in Iranian boats to the British cruiser Mauritius an- chored off Abadar on the Iragui side of the Shatt-el-Arab river. The Iranian government, refused per- mission for the cruiser to tie up in Iranian waters. British citizens will be taken by the Mauritius to Basra. Requests Made For Tofal Output 'Ekluina Project That the total production of the Eklutna hydroelectric project has keen tentatively contracted for is announced by Joseph Morgan, Al- {aska director for the Bureau of Reclamation.

Korean Veferan Is Homesick, But in Reverse SEATTLE, Oct. 2 — ® — Among homesick Korean war veterans re- turning to the U.S. on rotation, Lt. Harry A. Taylor is homesick in re- verse. He wants to go back to Korea. When Taylor, 39, of Waynesburg, Pa., stepped from a troop transport here yesterday, it was the first time in more than seven years he had set foot in the United States. Six years and three days of the time have been spent in Korea, his most recent assignment was as ad- visor to the provost marshal of the Army of the Republic of Korea. Taylor said after 16 years in the Army—11 years in the Far East— “The Army is my life.” “I can't think of a place where I can do more for the Army than in Korea,” he added. Taylor said he plans to spend his 30 day leave with his wife and daughter whom he has not seen since the North Koreans overran Seoul at the outbreak of the Korean hostilities. Mrs. Taylor and Bar- bara Joyce were evacuated to the United States. Hundreds Arrested, Argenfina Soldiers, Polifical Lead- ers Snared in Secret Police Dragnet BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Oct. 2—{#—Hundreds of soldiers and political leaders have been snared in & government secret police drag- net which .moved -swiftly. ever the weekend to orush opposition to President Juan D. Peron. Sources close to the army said 200 officers and men were arrested. Political parties and families of pol- itical chieftains said leaders of the radical, nationalist, communist, and socialist and conservative parties were among those taken into cus- tody in the wake of Friday's abor- tive revolt. A government spokesman accused the minority political parties of be- ing financed by “North American imperialism” in an attempt to over- throw Peron’s government in an uprising led by elements of the armed forces. Among those in the police net was Adrian Escobar, who once was an important figure in administrations which preceded Peron. A conserv- ative, he served as ambassador to the United States, Brazil,- France, and Spain, after being a member of Congress and postmaster gen- eral. The country is back on its ordin- The total annual production of 142,000,000 kilowatt hours will be used by the City of Anchorage, the Chugach Electrical Co-operative and the Matanuska Valley Electrical Co-operative. The two co-operatives are financed by the Rural Electric Association. Morgan said that the final con- tracts with the three users will be drawn up after the construction contracts for the project have been accepted. Contract Awarded Contract for the construction of the Eklutna power project was awarded on September 11 in Denver to three contracting firms; Morri- son-Knudsen, Peter Kewitt and Sons, and Al Coker and Sons. The joint bid submitted by the three companies was $17,348,865 while the Bureau’s engineers revised esti- mate for the job was $18,175,568.00. The bid includes construction of the four and half mile tunnel, dam, penstock, gate works, and surge tank. | Morgan‘said that the contractors were working at top speed on the tunnel so that underground work could be started before the freeze- up to continue through the winter. Dormitories and a mess hall are being built and preparations for the excavation of the Knik Arm of the tunnel have started. On the Eklut- na Lake end of the tunnel, a 200 foot shaft is being sunk. Other Projects Visited Baker accompanied Morgan on an inspection trip to five power sites that are now being investigated by the Alaska department. Loca- tions of the proposed projects are Swan Lake near Ketchikan, Doro- thy Lake near Juneau, Blue Lake at Sitka, Wickersham project near Fairbanks, and Susitna on the Al- ary everyday routine. Atlantic Post Office Near Paris fo Have Own Flag Now By the Associated Press A new flag will be raised over Atlantic Pact headquarters near Paris on Friday. It's a green flag —partly designed by the supreme commander himself, General Dwight Eisenhower. Printed in gold on the flag will be an emblem in Latin—meaning “vigilance is the price of liberty.” At the same time, members of the headquarters staff Wwill start wear- ing green and gold shoulder patches and badges. The emblems have olive leaves of gold and two drawn swords. The swords also were Eisenhower’s idea.

Omdr Bradley said today United Nations forces in Korea are strong enough “to keep anyone from running over us” and, if truce talks collapse | completely, fight the war to a suc- cessful military conclusion. “I don’t think the Communists can hurt us,” Bradley said in Korea after a two-day tour of the front. ‘The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff made it clear the U.N. is ready to resume armistice negotiations anywhere that pro- vides “equal rights” to both sides— even in Kaesong. However, there was no sign from Red commanders that they were willing to meet either at a No- Man’s-Land site proposed by the UN. or to completely change conditions in Kaesong to provide | “equal rights” to the Allies. The Red Korean Pyongyang radio sald Tuesday night the success of cease-fire talks “hinges mot on a change in the conference site but on the sincerity of the Americans.” It was the first direct reference to the Allied proposal to move nego- tiations to Songhyong, six miles from Kaesong. Bradley flew back to Tokyo amid reports that he will cut short his visit. This may indicate that the pur- pose of his flying trip from Wash- ington has been accomplished. That purpose has never been announced, | although it has been the subject of | much speculation. | Bradley’s Korean tour was marked | by confident, hard-talking state- ments from American generals who himself.

MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS 6 Red Jels Shot Down, 2 Damaged Fierce Air Batfles Fought =All Allied Planes Reported Safely Return U. 8. 8TH ARMY HEADQUAR- TERS, Korea, Oct. 2—{M—American Sabre Jets shot down six Red jets and damaged two in fierce air bat- tles over northwest Korea today. A total of 193 planes were in- volved in the two deadly fights. The toll ran the air warfare total to 106 Red planes reported de- stroyed. It equaled the record for the number of Communist planes reported shot down in a single day. The Fifth Air Force said one of the damaged Russian type MIG-15s probably was destroyed. It reported all Allied planes re- turndd safely. Y On the ground fierce fighting Reds recaptured a hill on the eastern front and for the third successive day stalled an Allied attack in the west, Two hundred charging Korean Reds drove South Koreans from a height the Allies captured Mon- day east of Heartbreak Ridge, hot spot of the eastern front. The hill has chariged hands three times in five days. In the west a grenade-hurling battalion of Chinese halted every Allied attack on a narrow bridge near Chorwon. The jet battle swirled from 30,000 feet down to tree-top levels. The destroyed toll matched that reported Dec. 22 The day's first battle was fought just before noon between 45 MICs and 36 American F-86 Sabre Jets, flying interference for a rail-cutting mission over MIG Alley. Two Red-nosed Communist jets were sent spiraling down in flames. v tar-first fight America’s ace in combat made one of the kills. It was the third jet for Col. Francis 8. Gabreski, of Oil City, Pa.

Trapper’s Den is not on most maps. Smith's father runs his trapline out of there. Smith was in Japan when the Korean war began. He enlisted at Fort Richardson, near Anchorage, in 1949. He went to Korea in an engineers company. “Never fired a shot,” said Smith. “I had my war runing a bulldozer and big crane. “I can’'t wait to get back to Alaska.
