  army strength at 1,550,000 next July l and at 1,070,o0o for the same date in 1947. It would re- quire consistent" monthly reduc- tion between those levels. Senators estimated this would mean release of 10000 men monthly.

CLAIM PRESIDENT
 DENIED REQUEST
 MADE BY KIMMEl

WASHINGTON, k.rril 1l.-Con- gressional investigators heard to- day that Presiednt Truman has de- nied an appeal by Adm. Husband E. Kimmel to examine what Sena- tor Ferguson CR-Mich) called a "super-secret" file of the late President Roosevelt's messages. s1
 Ensign John Phelan, represnt- ing the former Pacific fleet com- mander, told Senate House com mittee Investigating the Pearl Har- bor attack that MT. Truman had written a letter saying that the committee alone has authority to look at such files.
 Comdr. John F. Becker, repre- senting the Navy Department, sub stantiated this, adding that the committee had been given full ac- cess to the file, which Ferguson said had been set up to retain copies of all messages exchanged between MT. Roosevelt and British officials, including former Prime Minister Churchill.

retary of the Ketchikan ILWU To- cal and spokesman for the Alaska Negotiating Committee, the opera tors based their objection on the contention that it is asking a great deal" to demand adoption now Of anything which may be confined in future revision of the contract of the Pacific Coast long, shoremen. The employers added it is understood that new con- tract for Alaska is asked by the union. That new contract should be agreed upon before either locals of employers are asked to approve it. This subject is new matter which has been brought into the discussion;"
 Employers also re-affirmed their stand that arbitration should be concerned with If" the August 18 VILE directive applies to Alaska. The employers further declared that they will be willing to meet all provisions of the directive should the arbitrator decide that it is ap- plicable to Alaska shipping.
 1.-The Alaska Negotiating Com mittee this morning stated it's be- lief that employer rejection of the union proposal leaves the union with only one recourse-to main- tain the strike.
 Recent Alaska developments in- cidental to the longshore strike are:
 1-The Alaska Line freighter Vic toria, which has been tied up in Juneau since April 2, sailed last night for the Orca cannery, near Cordova, her freight for Juneau still aboard.
 2-At Anchorage word came from Valley that the poultry industry there might collapse" within two weeks unless strikebound ships could be released to bring north a cargo of feed. The report said 24,00O chickens would be with out feed by that time and 750 head of livestock would be restricted to, a diet of hay.

DEMO CHAIRMAN I5 ANSWERED BY
 COP CHAIRMAN
Challenge by Hdnnegan Is Taken Right Up by
 Reece- Question

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Re- publican Chairman Carroll Reece enumerated his party's stand or major issues today in an open let ter to Democratic Chairman Rob- ert E. Hannegan, then threw this question at his political counter part:
 When will the Administration begin telling the truth to the Ann erican people about how their gov- ernment is being operated?"
 Shortly after his election as head of the COP National Committee April l. Reece was challenged by Hannegan in an open letter to give Hong overdue clarification of your party's policies on vital ques- tions."
 The Tennessean responded last night by citing the declaration of party principles adopted last De- cember by Republican members of Congress and later endorsed and augmented by the Party's National Committe in Chicago and Wash ington.
 He then challenged Hannegan to tell the truth" about what is being done in the foreign and domestic field.
 Reece said after the Potsdam conference last summer, President Truman following the practice of his predecessor, assured the nation no secret agreements of any kind had been made during that confer ence.' Then the COP chief quoted from the New York Herald Tri- bune of Oct. II, 1945, that Secre- tary of State Byrnes had "acknow- ledged" that MT. Truman entered into secret agreement at Potsdam on revision of the Montreaux Con- vention and said the United States fully intends to keep it's pledge to confer with Turkey on the future status of the Dardanelles."
