GOT TO HAVE MORE FEDERAL AID OR
 ALASKA iS DITCHED, SAYS GRUENING;
 GOT TO HAVE ROADS, ALSO HOUSING
Bv CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Devel- opment of Alaska is being retarded because the government pulls it's purse strings too tight. Gov. Ernest Gruening of the Territory said to- day.
 Here for his annual visit, to urge the budget bureau and congress to increase the Territory's appropria- tions, Gruening in an interview ans wered questions as to Alaska's devel- opment with hesitation but emphat- ically.
 If we are to take care of the war veterans who will want to settle in Alaska the Federal government must develop a program that really will open up and develop our great resources" he said.
 Tt must do as it did in opening up the west or we will not be able to take care of the veterans. We need housing. We need roads. The two are our most pressing needs but we should develop our great timber resources, our mines and our agri- culture. Russia is expanding it's ag- riculture in Siberia.
 Asks Federal Aid
 "The Federal government doesn't even give us a fair share of the appropriations even though we are the ward of the Federal govern ment. We should have as much Federal aid as the states receive and be given aid for our roads the same as the states. This Federal Highway Aid is denied us now'
 Gruening said the Territory suf- fered because of the high freight rates from the United States to Alaska He said the Territory's freight bill now amounted to about $8 100000 a year and hearings were being held in the west for freight increases.
 ErceSStDe Rates
 We now pay excessive rates, !" Gruening said, flor poor and ir- regular freight service"
 The governor said the Territory needed more money for roads at once. He said that with more roads, and sufficient housing the Terri tory would he able to accommodate war veterans who want to settle there and that denial of such funds would prevent or make impossible for many of the veterans to settle in the Territory.

BRUTALITIES OF GERMANS ORDERED
 TO KEEP SECRET
By HOLLAND NORGAARD

NUREMBERG, Dec. 14-Hungari- an Jews who were too young or too old to serve as slave laborers in German war plants were auto- matically consigned to death in Nazi concentration camp gas cham bers, a Budapest Zionist leader declared in statement presented the International Military Tribunal today.
 American prosecutors, supporting the charge against. 21 Nazi leaders of crimes against humanity" in- troduced the affidavit of Rudolph Kastner, leader of Hungarian Zionist organization, reporting SS troops seized 475,000 Hungarian Jews in 1914 and transported them to the Reich in death trains
 Children Gassed
 Children up to the age of 12 or IA and older people above 50 as well as the sick or people with criminal records were taken imme- diately on their arrival tat Os- wiecim Concentration Camp to the gas chambers" Kastner declared in his affidavit
 Fate Kept Secret
 "The others passed before an SS doctor who, on sight, indicated who was fit to work and who was not. Those unfit were sent to the gas chambers while the others were distributed in various labor camps.
 Disclosing another breach of in- ternational law by the Germans, U. s. Assistant Prosecutor Thomas J. Dodd produced secret SS order showing the high command had directed that prisoners of war who escaped and were later re- captured should be transported to the Mauthausen Prison Camp and their fate kept secret from the International Red Cross.
 Brutality in the concentration camps began early, Dodd declared. He produced orders posted at Dachau in 1883 directing death by hanging for inmates who partici- pated in any kind of agitation or attempted to establish contact with the outside world.

The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Congressional leaders attended secret State De- partment dinner at Blair House usually reserved for foreign poten- tates-in order to hear sales talk on the loan to Britain.
 SaleS-ta takers were Secretary of State Byrnes, Assistant Secretary Will Clayton, Secretary of the Treasury Vinson, and Federal Re- serve Governor Mariner Eccles. Congressional listeners were: Sen ators George (Ga.), Vandenberg (Mich.), White (Me), Tobey N. H. Wagner tN. Y0, Connally (Texas), Austin (Vt); and Rep resentatives Bloom (N. YD, Eaton (N. J), Spence (Ky1, and Wolcott (Mich.).
 The legislators listened, but were not pleased-especially over the fact that they had not been con- suited before all details were ar ranged. Both Tom Connally and Walter George made this point. Also they felt we had not won sufficient assurance that Britain would end discriminatory trade practices.
 What bothered them most, how ever. was the idea that the British loan might mean further large loans to other countries.
 After this loan, who is to be next?" Senator George wanted to know. "Is Russia next?"
 Russia doesn't need any large loan from us," replied Secretary

 Jew Catcher" Figures
 Hoettl attributed his figure to Adolf Eichman, chief Jew catcher in the secret police. He said Eich- man confessed it to him in August, l944, expressing the conviction that he would have to pay for the millions of Jewish lives on his conscience"
 Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler thought Eichman's total was too low, Hoettls affidavit revealed Hoettl added that Eichman was the best informed official on Jew ish executions.

OFFICERS ARE (0NFIDENTOF
 LEAD AT LAST
Pair with $50 Bill 0ues- ed-Woman' $ CurIer
 Clue Discounted

Though side-issues that proved fizzles offered the most spectacular developments here last night and today in the manhunt for the slash slayer of Clarence J. Campbell, law enforcement officers today were bol- stered by renewed confidence that a real break is impending that will strip the cloak of mystery from Mondays brutal murder here.
 Though unwilling to make prema- ture disclosures. officers feel sure that at last they are on the right track and will soon have the mur- dered in hand.
 Curier No Clue
 The aluminium hair curler found near Campbells body when it was discovered Monday noon in a shall low roadside ditch in the Scatter tract and which seemed to indicate the participation of a woman in the atrocity, now has been pushed somewhat into the background with the disclosure of considerable tarn- ish on the metal of the curler which might mean that it had laid there for some time, Chief of Police John Monagle stated this morning. How ever, that clue is not entirely dis counted.
 Fist Fights
 The U. s. Marshal's office here also put a danper on reports that Campbell had engaged in at least two fights on the Saturday night preceding his murder. Those reports are not entirely unfounded, Deputy Walter C. Hellan said, but the fights seem to have been more in the na- ture of incidental arguments of the moment. A close check of the re- ports has disclosed that Campbell engaged in at least one quarrel with . a fellow worker from Hoonah, on the day previous to the murder.
 $50 BHls
 Raising high hopes of solution at first, was the reporting to police by former City Clerk Jack Kearney who is now ticket agent in the cffice of the Northland Transporta- ton Company here, that two negroes had offered him $50 bill in pay ment for passage on the southbound steamer North Sea
 The pair was immediately hailed to headquarters for questioning with the result that they were cleared and were allowed to sail south aboard the steamer.
 Erplanation OK
 G. G. Brown, local liquor store op- orator, completely substantiated the explanation of one of the negroes that Brown had given him the $50 bill in exchange for a check the negro had cashed. The man had been employed at the Gastineau Hotel as bellboy and cashed his pay check at the liquor store before sailing.
 Meanwhile arrangements arc being completed here by K. c. Merritt, for shipment of Campbell's body to Seattle for burial, according to the wishes of the murdered mans fam fly. It is expected that the body will be sent south aboard the Prin- cess Norah next week. MT. Merritt had been contacted by a man he had known in Seattle named Hoff- man. Hoffman is related to Camp bell.

MAGNUS0N HOPES TO FIND WAY TO
 GET SHIPS FOR THREE COMPANIES
 NOW OPERATING TO ALASKAN PORTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA --. Hope of finding ways sto furnish needed ships to the three companies oper- ating lines to Alaska from the Pacific Northwest was expressed today by Senator Magnlson tD- Wash) after receiving promises of support from several Senators.
 Magnuson's amendment to in- clude in the Ship Disposal Bill a provision permitting the Maritime Commission to construct or re- model ships for the Alaskan lines was defeated in the Senate We'd nesday.
 At that time, Minority Leader White tR-Me) sympathized with the plight of the Alaskan lines and said he believed way should be worked out to aid them.
 White Has Say
 White pointed out that the mari time law already authorized the Maritime Commission to construct new vessels for any domestic com pany making application and sug- gested Magnuson have the Alaskan lines apply for such aid
 Magnuson said White had of- fered to go with representatives of the Alaskan lines to the commis- sion to try to work out a solution
 Wiley To Help
 Senator Wiley (R-Wis) also of fered to help He said he believed some surplus ships might be found available for their use.
 "On the other hand, with AL aska on the air route of the world with increased travel by air, and undoubtedly increased settlement which will take place there. as well as increased facilities" Wiley said, it seems to me that the govern ment of the United States cannot afford to let Alaska down. :"
 Wiley said the government owed an obligation mot only to Alaska but to the West Coast and our own shippers who wish to use Ameri- can railroads rather than Canadian railroads"
 Tonnage Lost
 Magnuson said the flask san steamship lines had a combined fleet of g ships, nine of which were lost in the war. He said they could not replace the lost tonnage at present prices and present rates.
 The steamship lines, the Alaska Steamship Company, the Alaska Transportation Company and the Northland Transportation Company asked Magnuson to have extended the time in which the bill permits buyers to take advantage of it's terms. The time had been set for 90 days after enactment of the measure but Magnuson said Senate leaders agreed to extend 1t to Dec. 31, l946.
