The w Washington Merry Y-Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tNajor Robert c. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON-At safe dis tance from Teheran, the full story can now be told of the measures taken to protect the President from the plot against his life.
 The message from Stalin, warn ing Roosevelt that Nazi para troop CTS had come down in Iran, reached the American Embassy on the day of the Presidents arrival. Stalin himself had arrived the night be- fore, and learned that 38 para troopers had landed in the coun- tryside, that 26 of them had been rounded up, but that 12 were still at large.
 Since the Soviet and British Elm bassies were adjacent in one part of town, and the American Em- bassy more than mile distant, it would be safer for all three leaders if they could be brought together and guarded by the same force. But the problem was-how to get the President safely to the Soviet Embassy?
 The problem was solved by fi- nesSe of which the U. s. Secret Ser vice may now be proud. The main route between the American and Soviet Embassies was guarded con- stantly by Persian police. Chur- chill had covered this route when he arrived, driving from the air port to the British Embassy. Secret Service men looked at the crowd oi spectators lined up along the way and shook their heads. There were between thirty and forty thousand people-a motley mixture of races in which desperado might easily mingle without being noticed.
 So Secret Service ordered out U s. troops to supplement the Persian police-and then took another route entirely. When the Tank uniforms appeared, the whole town was sure the President would come that way Thus, every other part of town was deserted.

bouIware, BottIenetk Busier, Disdoses How
 To Do Job, Do If We'll
By HOWARD FLIEGER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l. = The way to break a bottleneck is tC widen the neck of the bottle.
 The formula-not the words comes from Lemael R. Boulware, 2 strapping, plain-talking bushes: executive who has taken on the nations No bottleneck busting job without making any noise about it.
 BoulWare is the War Production Boards new operations chief, the man who has to get fighting equip ment out in the time and quantity it's needed. Newspaper readers hardly know his name, but he's been widening the necks of pro- duction bottles since early 1942 when he came to Washington from a top job with the Celotex Corp Before that he bossed Carrier Ali Conditioning Corp.
 The thing in the bottleneck busi- ness is knowing who can make what, and seeing that he makes it But the job isn't that simple. For example, one big war production job involves thousands of contract ors, each making a vital part oi the finished product. Boulware and his staff know the capacity and contract obligations of every plant involved.
 Here's what causes a bottleneck 4 manufacturer is asked for SC many parts. He says he can't do it because of other contracts or some thing.
 Here's what happens to it. WIPE men visit the plant, help it get started on part of the job, spread the rest to other plants as far as they can. When the worst comes all production sewed up and still a lag in one item-WPB has it's sell dom used authority to shunt less important contracts aside and start production on the prime-needed item. There goes the bottleneck
 Boulware uses the same system in Washington that he's followed for years in private life. He got the idea when he was baseball cap tain at the University of Wisconsin A professor asked undergradute Boulware what he wanted to dc with his life. Boulware knew the answer:
 T want to be general man. ager."
 That's simple shrugged the professor.
 He told Boulware to do this: CD Learn all the bookWork of corpora tions, f2) learn all there is to know about the production end, t3) learr selling, marketing and the public contact part of business
 Then Someday" said the pro- lessor, some corporation will find itself in distress. If the distress be-

HEARING ON
 ALASKA BILL. I5 UNDERWAY.
Dimond Opposes Wall qren's Measure-Arnol
 Gives If His Approval

 ! WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Oppo- sition to the bill dealing with the fish resources of Alaska was ex- pressed to the Senate Commerce subcommittee by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond of Alaska, who asserted it would set up a monopoly on ownership of fish traps.
 w. c. Arnold, attorney of Ket- chikan, told the committee he favor- ed the bill and felt it was fair to all fishermen.
 The bill was introduced by Sen ator Wallgren, Democrat of Wash ington state, and would establish a food fish code for the Territory, a system of licensing fishermen gear under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Interior De- partment, and would give present holders of fish traps the right to continue to use them.
 Delegate Dimond testified this would give trap owners a vested right in that portion of the sea in which traps are located. He said he opposes the use of fish traps in Alaskan waters and must oppose the bill strongly as I can. Every thing in the bill is adverse to the interests of the people of Alaska. "
 Complete U. s. Control
 Witnesses said the United States should exercise control of all salmon fishing in the waters off the Alaska coast to assure fishermen that some other nation did not stop the sal mon runs miles out and ruin the industry.
 The bill provides that the juris- diction of the U. $. extend to the international boundary of Russia All fishermen operating in these waters will be licensed under the control of the Fish and Wildlife Service
 Extend Jurisdiction
 The State Department asked that the provisions extending the juris- diction to the international bound- ar be eliminated to permit the prob- lem to be worked out in diplomatic discussions with Canada, Wallgren said. However, the bill would make provision for extending the juris- diction either by diplomatic agree ment or by law.
 Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service. urged the committee to approve said jurisdiction of the U. s. offshore waters as vital necessity, as all salmon coming into Alaska waters are spawned in the fresh water of the Territory
 Gabrielson Cites Facts
 Unless jurisdiction is extended fishermen of other nations might intercept the runs far off shore. Gabrielson recalled that eight years ago the Japs invaded Alaska waters to fish after depicting the Siberian fishing grounds, and were stopped through an agreement effected by the State Department.
 We should not conclude a peace treaty with Japan until there has been Qualifications of this problem. Our conservation program and our control should extend outside the three-mile limit" the Director stated.
 Edward Allen, Seattle; Bjorn Hal ling, CIO International Fishermen and Cannery Workers Union; and F. J. Gunderson, of Wrangell. rep- resenting the Independent Fish Trap Operators of Alaska, also favored the bill
 Nick Beg, of Seattle, cannery op- orator, said legislation was needed.
