 BATTLE MAY FEEL CONGRESS PROBE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The Missouri Democratic primary in which President Truman successful- ly urged the defeat of Representa- tive Robert Slaughter is in the news again. The House Campaign Expenditures committee is holding a closed meeting this morning and it may decide today if it will in- vestigate the election in which President Truman's favorite-Eros Axtell defeated Representative Slaughter.
 The third candidate in the pri mary race-Jerome Walsh-has re- quested the investigation on the charge that Axtell and Slaughter made excessive expenditures as his campaign opponents.
 The House Committee also is cx pected to consider request from an unidentified person in Connecti- cut for an inquiry into CIO politi- cal action committee activities in Connecticut. However, Committee Chairman J. Percy Priest says that if a PAC inquiry is made, it will be on the basis of specific com plaints rather than blanket study of the organization.

DAVIS THINKS COLLEGE
 FORD FINEST SCENERY

The finest natural scenery in the world is to be found in College fJord. in the northwestern part of Prince William Sound, near Port Wells.
 This is the opinion of Trevor Davis, Juneau camera enthusiast who has just returned from month to the Westward, on a special pie ture-taking mission for Prince Will liam Sound canneries who have formed a pool to obtain picture record of salmon spawning areas in that section This is his third year on the mission.
 College fjord is like Tracy Arm, Taku Inlet and Lynn Canal, all rolled into one" Davis declared Perfect photographic conditions prevailed while he was in College fjord-blue skies and no haze. He reported that this year he had the advantage of unusually fine weather throughout the trip, the best he has yet experienced in the Sound area. He returned with more than 5000 feet of movie film; about two-thirds of the footage in color.
 Davis added that he is very glad to get back to Juneau-"It's the best town in Alaska

TOKYO, Sept. 16.-Some 60,000 members of Japa's Congress of In- dustrial Unions remained off the job today in the GUS demonstra- tion against the Yoshida Cabinet.
 Katsumi Kikonami, chairman of the GU, declared Yoshida's policy makes no provision for workers rights "and in order to have this policy rescinded there is no way but to fight to overthrow Yosltida Without his removal there can be no real industrial rehabilitation"
 Some observers considered the GU campaign against Yoshida an attempt to regain prestige lest when the railroad workers called off their threatened strike.
 The rail workers agreement with the government not to strike was viewed by some as repudiation of support of the GU, which has been accused of leftist leanings.
 The seamen's strike entered its seventh day. The Transportation Ministry said CT vessels totalling l45,000 tons were idle, M

 icy for Russia Speech

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Secre- .ary of Commerce Wallace and top State Department officials confer red with their respective advisers today to determine whether either should make a new move publicly in the intra- administration TOW ever relations with Russia.
 Aides at the Commerce Depart ment generally expected Wallace would try to find way to carry on, his fight to soften United States policy toward Russia in the face of opposition from Secretary of State Byrnes and the State Department. But his actual curse evidently was being determined in today's meet lngs behind doors closed to report CTS.
 At the White House, Secretary Charles G. Ross said that President Truman had no appointment today with Wallace, had not heard from him over the weekend and had no  plans, at the moment, to see him later this week
 At the State Department, officials said they hoped that Wallace would decide against making any more speeches on foreign policy unless he. first clears them with the State Department. Information as to his actual course was lacking there, however.
 At the Commerce Department Wallace aides said Wallace had no immediate comment on the reaction to his speech-including President Truman's repudiation of his ap- prcval of it.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-F of Sec retary of State Byrnes have receiv- ed word that he may have to resign shortly after the end of the Paris Peace Conference-for reasons of health.
 A The news has come as great blow to President Truman who has leaned heavily on Jimmy Byrnes There was a time last winter when the two men did not agree, but they have been cooperating closely ever since.
 Byrnes doctors have told him that he might be able to continue as Secretary of State provided he took long and periodic rests. How ever, Byrnes does not believe he should do this. Cordell Hull used to spend several months a year away from his office. In 1922, our first year in the war, he was away a total of six months.
 Byrnes, however, has told inti- mates that conducting the foreign affairs of the United States today is constant, day-to-day job. He does not believe it would be fair to the American people for him to take prolonged rest.
 For instance, immediately after the Paris Conference is to be the Assembly of the United Nations now already late. After that comes the Pan American Security Confer ence to be held in Rio de Janeiro also late Following that comes the regular Pan American Conference to. say nothing of various meetings -------------------- = -
