RooseveIt's Files Held 'TopSecret' Privote Popers
 Are Concentrated
 In Washington
BY MERRIMAN SMITH

United Press Staff CorrespOndent) Hyde Park, N. Y, Oct. 23.-Secret war papers of President Roosevelt documents that could alter the course Of history even now-have been concentrated in Washington It may be generations before they, along with many papers of domes- tic political importance, are made public
 This was determined in a per- sonal examination by this United Press correspondent of the late Presidents files in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library here. The exam nation disclosed that the heavily sealed envelopes marked top se- cret" and do not open" have been sent to Washington.
 Rear Admiral Wilson Brown, for mer naval aide to MT. Roosevelt, recommended immediately after the Presidents death in April that MT Truman virtually impound the Roosevelt war papers. At the same time, representatives Of the Army General Staff made a fast check for secret war plans which Mir. Roosevelt had been studying Among the papers they rushed back

 The president warned that never, again will this country have timefo prepare for war after hostilities have started Tn any future war. he said, "the heart of the United States would be the enemys' first target"
 The president made it clear that he was dealing with only one phase of "a long-range program of Ila- tional military security for the United States" He expects to com municate with congress later on other phases.
 He did not, therefore, allude to the current controversy between the Army and Navy over the War De- partments proposal that all the armed forces be merged with the Army, Air Forces, and Navy as co- ordinate branches.
 Three-Part Program
 He did. however, propose post- war military organization-ofw which universal training of young men would be the backbone-in which the various armed forces would cnn- tinue to function as they do now. He proposed; Y

CONGRESSMEN
 WELCOMED BIG
 AT ANCHORAGE
Subcommittee Now Tour ing Richardson High
 way to Fairbanks

Touring members of the Congress- ional House Appropriations Interior Department Subcommittee were very favorably impressed by the we'll organized reception given them at Anchorage, it was reported here by Gov Ernest Gruening, who has re- turned here by plane after accom- panying the Congressional party on its visit to the Westward City.
 No official public hearing, such as that staged here, was held at An chorage, the Governor said. In- stead, Anchorage citizens seemed to be all of one mind as to their de- sires and the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce was the spokesman, asking principally for roads to Seward and Homer and Mt. Me- Kinley Park development.
 The Anchorage Chamber put it's requests in print, in pamphlets em- oossed in gold with the names of the individual visitors, then proceed ed to show the Congressmen good time with dinners, cocktail parties and trips on the schedule.
 The party was met on arrival from Juneau at the Anchorage air. port by a delegation of business men and civic leaders headed by Judge Anthony Dimond, who intro duced his "old friends" of the Ma tional House of Representatives
 Last Tuesday, the Chamber of Commerce chartered a DC-3 to fly the Congressmen to Homer and re- turn. On Wednesday, the Sub- committee visited Matanuska and Eklutna Indian School Thursday, the visitors departed for Copper Center by auto enroute to Fair banks over the Richardson Highway.
 Fairbanks residents plan to meet the touring Congressmen at Hard ing Lake. Mt. Mckinley Park will be visited on the return trip by the Alaska Railroad from Fairbanks to Anchorage, as originally scheduled. Seward and Fort Raymond Hospital there are also yet to be inspected by the Congressional group on it's re- turn trip
