DINERS FOR NEW ALASKA
 RAIL ROUTE

Dining cars and one-day service in deep-seated coaches on the Alaska railroad from tidewater to Enthusiastically seems possible to Sourdoughs who have bumped and overnighted on the old road-but that is the postwar plan revealed here today for Alaska's only real railroad by it's General Manager, Col. Otto Ohlson, who is comforting with Federal Offices here on joint development plans for the imme- diate postwar period.
 We're putting on modern coaches, fast locomotives and dining cars as we'll" Ohlson said in dis cussing coming travel needs. "We1l be giving a fast, comfortable ride, handling a lot more passengers and going through to Fairbanks in a single days run"
 In line with increasing demands for tourist facilities, lodges and cabins are planned for construction at lovely Wonder Lake, now the end of road at 89-mile in Mount Mckinley Park
 Tourists will get perspective there of the entire Alaska Range" :" Ohlson declared, and added, I've seen all the Swiss Alps and other famous mountain scenery, but what you can see at Wonder Lake tops everything
 A new tourist agency will be opened in Los Angeles also, Col. Ohlson said.
 Expecting to return to his An- chorage office tomorrow by plane, Col. Ohlson is guest at the Baranof Hotel.

OPERATIONS CONDUCTED
 UNDER FIRE
Greatest Amph ibious Movement Wedihered
 Deadly Air Attack
By SPENCER DAVIS

Associated Press War Correspondent ABOARD ADMIRAL KINCAIDS FLAGSHIP IN LINGAYEN GULF, PHILIPPINES. Jan. 10. - In the greatest amphibious operation of the Pacific War this invasion fleet, of some 800 ships. under Vice-Admiral Thomas Kincaid, has weathered the most deadly air attack the Japanese could contriye.
 While returning Gen. MacAr- thurs forces to Luzon Island, the giant convoy bearing a force one third larger than that which invaded Leyte, was under enemy observation from the time it started. Japanese aircraft waited for the convoy to approach Luzon before attacking, then struck with all the fury of desperation. sXN
 Brunt of the enemy air strike fell on the advance force of the Heavy Bombardment Group. including pre- Pearl Harbor battleships, escort car riers. cruisers and destroyers, which shelled the beaches between Lin- gayen City and San Sebastian town to destroy coastal batteries.
 Preliminary reports indicated that 79 enemy planes had been downed by Tank combat fliers and ship anti-aircraft fire. We suffered some losses and suffered ship damage which high ranking fleet officer said will not impair the efficiency of our force.

Budapest Battles Reach New VioIenee-viennd
 Next Red Stop

MOSCOW, Jan. 10.--Red Army as- saults within Budapest are reported increasing in fury while German re- lief columns, now menaced by vast outflanking drive north of the Dan- ube and facing death, have failed completely in an attempt to break through to the besieged garrison within the city.
 The battle within the great me- tropolis is now in it's thirteenth day of violent street fighting Russian forces claim control of more than half of the once beautiful Hungar- ian capital.
 To the northwest beyond the Dan- ube, Malinovsky's armored infantry is making rapid strides toward Kom- arom, the communications hub on the north bank of the Danube and one of the springboards of the Ger man rescue offensive.
 In advances of three miles oi more, Malinovsky's troops yesterday captured the riverbank town Of Izsa, little more than three and one half miles east of Komarom and half dozen other communitie' to the northeast in a great wheeling movement.
 The maneuver could carry around the big German base and on toward Bratislavia on the Austrian border and eventually Vienna itself, ST miles away.
 Dispatches said signs or cracking in the core of enemy resistance within Budapest are showing. The Russians have now captured more than 2300 of the city's 4500 blocks.

American Legion Plan Has Two 0bjefiives On
 Program for After War
Second of two articles on the
 American LegiOn)
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 The American Legion, in it's bid to be No. organization of veterans of World War II, as well as of the first World War, is at present willing to sink or swim on two main objectives.
 Postwar jobs for men just out of uniform and proper care and rehabilitation of the disabled. There's nothing much new in this. It's as old as the Revolution It starts with pensions and widows pensions and progresses through disqualification, schooling and the most modern plans for vocational rehabilitation. The only interesting phase in connection with this column is that the Legion argues that rehabilitation of veterans and their proper readjustment to civil ian life is as much a cost of war as any shell fired at the enemy.
 2-That future wars must be avoided by. (A) An international peace authority clothed by Con- gress with power to act in any emergency; (B) A universal mili- tary training program that never will see this country unprepared for any such attack as Pearl Har- Dor, or even for participation in knocking out aggressor nations be- fore they get good start in up- setting world peace.

National Job Budget Is New Proposition
 Coming Up, Congress
By JAMES D. WHITE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-It's just an idea. dropped into the Congress sional mill toward the end Of a long run.
 Now that another Congressional run has started, packers of the idea hope it will pop up well to the forefront and that something will be done about it.
 The idea is a national job budget" The principle proposed IS to estimate, allocate and expend our manpower every year just as we do our cash. Sponsors might have added that money is but the measure of energy and the goods which energy creates. They are asking, in effect, why not keep books more directly on our energy if we can find the right yard sticks to do so."
 The idea of budgeting jobs comes from the War Contracts Subcom- mittee of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. Chairman of the subcommittee is Senator James E.. Murray, Democrat, Montana, with Vice President-elect Harry Tru- man and Senator Chapman Rever- comb, Republican, West Virginia, as members.
 The Murray subcommittee has turned in a report on war contracts which looks to the end of the war and the problems of reconversion to peacetime economy which will have to be faced. One of these, It says, is the problem of national employment-a job for everybody
 It cites President Roosevelts plea for a national level of employment which would provide 6O,0O0,OOO jobs. It recalls that jobs held by Americans produced less than half the goods and services in 1929 which Americans are producing

THOUSANDS
 OF TROOPS
 GO ASHORE
Landings Accomplished Soldiers Transferred
 from 800 Ships
By JAMES HUTCHINSON Press War Correspondent

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP PINES, Wednesday, Jan. 10-Tens of thousands of the United States Sixth Army Forces, accompanied by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, landed Tuesday along 15 miles of the Lin gayen Gulf coast, Luzon Island, from an 300-ship convoy and pushed deep into the flat lands leading l20 miles south to Manila over ideal tank war country.
 Tanks were among the equipment put ashore in strength that made possible a powerhouse offensive from the beaches that had been cleared of Japanese by fierce warship she'll and aerial bombings.
 Lightly opposed Tanks surged in land over the same crescent of sand dunes the Japanese employed three years ago.
 Where Landings Made
 A field dispatch, disclosing that Gen. Macarthur has already set up his headquarters on Luzon, said the landings we're on the southern extremity of Lingayen Gulf which includes the city of Lingayen.
 At one point of the landing, only Il Jap snipers were found after a hunt of one hour.
 The American invaders got ashore at 9.30 a. m, and within two hours after the first transport disgorged soldiers to the landing boats, fol- lowing a dawn smelling of the areas, Gen. Macarthur was back on the island where he fought losing battles at the opening of the Pacific war and is now on the way for show down fight for all of the Philippines, paved by multiplicity of warship and aerial attacks.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tLt. Col Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-Out of the vari- ous dark spots in the European political picture - Greece, Poland, Belgium-there is one country where things are going reasonably well politically-F'rance. One very important chapter of the inside story on French-American political operations can now be told
 It shows that the British and the United States Treasury had a lot to do with the successful out come of the French situation.
 What happened was that before the Allied invasion of Normandy, F.DR. didn't particularly like de Gaulle and his State Department advisers didn't either. Some off cials suspected that the State De- partment was misinforming the President on de Gaulle's inten- tions. At any rate, things got so bad that on June 4, two nights before the invasion, de Gaulle with drew 180 French civil officers who were to accompany the Allied land ing parties.
 Whereupon Churchill, deeply dis turbed, summoned French Gen. Koenig to No. 10 Downing Street in the middle of the night, and begged him to change de Gaulle's mind. Koenig said it was impos- sible.
 Churchill then routed Alfred Duff Cooper out of bed, rushed him off to plead with de Gaulle, who final ly agreed to permit 20 French of ficers to accompany the Allies into Normandy. In return, Cooper promised de Gaulle that the British would urge the U. s. State Department to adopt a more reas- enable attitude toward de Gaulle.
 FDR INVITES DE GAULLE
 Carrying out this promise, Chur- chill sent Roosevelt a strong but friendly cable advising that the Allies could not help dealing with de Gaulle and urging that de Gaulle be invited to Washington. Roosevelt promptly agreed and cabled de Gaulle, then in Algiers. De Gaulle waited briefly, then ac- cepted the invitation for July 6.
 Meanwhile, Roosevelt asked the State, Treasury and War Depart ments to prepare a program that he could present to de Gaulle.
 The War Department, represented by far-sighted Assistant Secretary Jack McCloy, urged full recogni- tion of de Gaulle, claiming it was necessary for military reasons.
 But the State Department, repre- scented by Jimmy Dunn, argued that the President would never agree. Dunn was quite stubborn and claimed there was no use even
