AGREEMENT
 COMPLETED
 ON MERGER
Seven Areas Are Defined Including Command in
 Alaska, On Pacific
By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. IT - The Army and Navy agreed today on unified command for armed forces abroad but left unsettled the wran- gle over merger at home.
 The joint Chiefs of Staff, with the bitter experience of Pearl Har- bor's dual command in mind, cli- maxed a long series of negotia- tions hy announcing a plan under which overseas forces will be un- der the operational command of a single man--Army, Navy or Air as the situation dictates. The plan was approved by President Tru- man.
 The establishment of seven Over seas Commands among other things whittled away some of the domain of Gen. Douglas Macarthur and put under the Navy areas of the Pacific he had controlled. It also reestablished some pre-war com- mands and created new Northeast Command, it's details as yet undis- closed.
 Concurrently with the announce ment of the single command plan for overseas Organizations came a Congressional committee recom- mendation in another field of com bined operation.
 Intelligence Operations
 The House Military Committee proposed that permanent legal status be given to the National In- telligence Authority established by President Truman last January. That agency was created to weave together the intelligence operations of various Government agencies in cluding the Army's G-2 section, the Navys Office of Naval Intelligence and units of the State Department which include vestiges of the war time office of Strategic Services.
 Seven Areas
 Seven areas defined in the an- nouncement are:
 Far East, commanded by Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
 Pacific, by Adm. John H. Tow CTS.
 Alaskan, a new Command, by Maj. Gen. H. A. Craig.
 Northeast, also new Command, commander to be named.

NORTHWEST AL TO
 GALL, WH|TEH0R5E

WASHINGTON, Dec. IT = The Civil Aeronautics Board today au- thorized Northwest Airlines to in- clude Whitehorse, Canada, as an intermediate point on its route be- tween the United States and An chorage, Alaska.
 This makes possible direct ser- vice from Chicago and Eastern cities to Juneau and Fairbanks, Alaska, with one change at White horse.
 The Board said, however, that service to Whitehorse is subject to negotiations between the United States and Canadian Governments.
 The Board, in a supplemental opinion on the Pacific Air Routes case, denied applications of Penn- sylvania Central Airlines for routes between Washington and Chicago and Alaska; and of Alaska Airllnes and Pacific Northern Airlines for routes between Seattle and Alaska.
 The opinion was approved by President Truman.
 The Board said the combined ser- vices of Pan American Airways and Northwest are adequate for the U. s. to Alaska route at the pres ent time.

WASHINGTON Handsome Av- erell Hartman, new Secretary ot Commerce, got somewhat in wrong with his chief recently, and quite a bit in wrong with Mrs. Truman, when he failed to attend an of ficial White House reception.
 The President and Mrs. Truman were giving a gala reception for the press, and were reverting to the ornate peacetime formality which no one has seen much of around the White House since Pearl Harbor. This meant that at an appointed hour, the entire Cabinet lines up behind the Chief Executive and the First Lady and together they march down the grand stairway while the band plays Hail To The Chief"
 This grand march was scheduled for last weeks reception. Only trouble was that the Cabinet was so seriously depleted that not many were around to march. Sec retary of the Treasury Snyder was in Mexico. Secretary of State Byrnes was in New York at the United Nations meeting.

CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT

WASHINGTON, Dec. I1-An at- torney for Senator Bilbo (D-Miss) expressed the opinion that hun dreds of thousands of dollars" can be spent in Mississippi political campaigns despite a State Corrupt Practices Act.
 The attorney, Forest Jackson, was questioned about the State law by Senator Ferguson R- Mich) at the Bilbo war contracts inquiry.
 After asking about the alleged payment of $11,000 to former Rep. Ross Collins campaign manager after Collins lost his bid for a Senatorial nomination in 1922, Fer guson queried:
 How did you get around the Mississippi Corrupt Practices Act? You did not report this as cam Eaign expenditure.
 Jackson replied that only the main committee of a candidate was required to report it's expendi- lures. Informal" groups were ex- empt, he said.
 What good is the State law then?" asked Ferguson.
 T don't think it's any good," Jackson replied.
