POLITICS
 HITS OUT, ALL SIDES
Republicans Are Making Charges in Campaign
 Talks Replies
(By the Associated Press)

EchoeS Of Republican orators at tacking on wide front were heard from all sides today in a sweeping prelude to the November I5 Congressional elections.
 While the Democrats for the most part held their fire, COP orators suddenly cut loose in concerted nationwide barrage
 Among other things, the Repub- licans freely predicted a smashing COP victory in the hot fight for control of Congress and spoke of electing their first President for 16 years in l948.
 Predisf fiOns
 Col Philip LaFonette, twice Governor of Wisconsin, declared in speech last night at Grand Rap ids, Mich. that the COP is almost certain to win the Presidency 'un less they revert to the reactionary positions they held two decades ago.
 LaF'ollette named Senator Ar thur H. Vandenberg (R-Mich9 ', who aided Secretary of State Byrnes in the Paris Peace Confer ence, as pre- eminent" among pos sible COP Presidential candidates. Other good possibilities he listed as Gov Earl Warren of California, former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York
 EIO-PAC -n-;aence
 In Salt Lake City. Senator Taft told Republican rally that the CIO Political Action Committee lad influenced President Truman and his Administration by policies which he described as "ProCom- munist, Pro-Russian and totali- tartan"
 Of course the President is no Communist, nor is he member of the Political Action Committee" Taft said, but he has endorsed every one of the extreme demands for Federal power contained in the PAC program. The domestic policy of the Democratic Congress is the PAC totalitarian program
 Democratic Comeback
 Raising one of the few Demo- cratic voices heard against the COP speechmaking swell, Senator Lister Hill of Alabama told a rally of his party that it is mot a campaign over pork chops and soap chips" and asserted that the Re publicans have steered wide of the real problems for Americans"
 Hill said the Republicans are ducking the paramount issues be- cause otherwise they would Hay bare the bankruptcy of the lead ership they offer the nation"
 In Washington, nep Clarence J Brown tR-Ohio), the COPS cam paign director said in broadcast that John L. Lewis threat of new soft-coal strike this winter was just another example of New Deal chickens coming home to rcost.'
 Brown forecast a net Republican gain of 45 to 55 seats in the House and declared that his party would balance the budget, reduce indi- vidual income taxes 20 percent next year and probably pay off three to five billion dollars on the national debt.
 Carroll Reece, Chairman of the National Committee. is sued a statement assailing Presi- dent Truman's action yesterday in proclaiming an emergency and lift ing import duties on lumber and timber to ease the nations hous- ing shortage. Reece said it was an example of the Administration "incurable habit of doing things the hard day and doing them too late"

NEW COAST GUARDER I5
 AT JUNEAU
Walhuseft Arrives Here 10 Take Up Permanent
 Base on Channel

i OSCC cutter WacnuSett un- der the command of Comdr Edgaf V. Carlson, arrived in Juneau late yesterday afternoon to take up its permanent station at the Capitol City.
 ] One of the newest ships in Coast Guard service, the Wachusett was commissioned at San Pedro, Cali fornia, March 23 of this year. Mo dern in every respect, from her air conditioning system and flourescent lighting to her new turbo-electric full automatic controlled power plant and five bladed screw, the Wachusett is considered the ex- ample of what new vessels are like.
 The Wachusett is 225 feet long and has a 43 foot beam. She has a 2,000 ten displacement, and is fit ted Ter weather and plane duty. From the pilot house the Captain has optional direct automatic con- trol of the engine or it may be di- rect from the engine room, or, in emergencies, manual from the en- zine room.
 An innovation in the ship is it's tive-bladed screw, to limit vibration at critical speeds Roller type ball bearings in the stern shaft tube are another revolutionary install lation for power plants the size of the Wachusett, having been in stalled previously only on small vessels.
 On board the shir, which came here from San Francisco via Se- attle and Ketchikan, were ITO sacks of mail from Seattle, seven from Ketchikan, and approximately 50 sacks of parcel post.
 Open House Sunday
 Comdr. Carlson announced this morning that his ship will be in full dress tomorrow from sunrise to sunset, weather permitting, in honor of Navy Day. Open house will be held, with visiting hours from to 4 pm. Children must be accompanied by their parents.
 Asked if the Wachusett had a basketball team aboard which might be interested in competing in the City League, Cmdr. Carl son stated that one is being or ganized
 Only a few games have been played so far, but the manager will be dispatched to take in the or ganizational meeting at the high school Monday evening.
 Comdr. Edgar " Carlson, co. of the Wachusett, is not a newcomer to Juneau. He was stationed here on board the Tallapoosa during 1884 and 1885. Comdr. Carlson re- ports that the Tallapoosa, the first Coast Guard ship to be powered with oil burning turbine when she was built in 1913, was recently re- tired after serving as cutter during two wars, and has been sold to an East coast firm.
 Officers Aboard

TRIESTE TROUBLE
 SETTLED
Final Agreement Reached Early This Morning at
 Peace Conference
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

At the start of his foreign policy speech to the American Club to- day, Secretary of State Byrnes made a joke at the expense of the Paris peace conference
 Introduced to the guests a few minutes before the radio micro phones were ready to pick up his words, Byrnes remarked with a grin: T am under instructions to stall for two minutes. I do not know what that word means. This is the language of the Peace con- ference, and not of the American Club"
 The peace conference delegates. however, have been putting in some very long hours in an attempt to wind up their work. The. Italian territorial commission argued and voted all through the night until almost dawn this morning over a free and independent Trieste. Time and again, the Yugoslavs and the rest of the Russian bloc went down to defeat-and in the end French compromise for the creation of a new Free State of Trieste to be governed by the United Nations Se- curity Council was adopted
 This morning, however, the Rus sian bloc had its innings.
 Its chance came after the United States tried to cut 100 mil lion dollars from the Hungarian re- parations to Russia, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, and also 100 mil liens from the Finnish indemnities to the Soviet Union.
 The American position was that such reductions were necessary if Hungary and Finland were not to go bankrupt. The Russians howled that the United States was commit : ting an unfriendly act, that it de- libertly was trying to disturb good relations between Hungary and Rus sia
 When the vote came, only Aus tralia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa supported the United States. That was not enough-the Russians won, to 5. And they got their winning votes from Brit ain and France.

Russians Hold SAFE CONDUCT Nips Who Hold ACCORDED FOR
 Atomic Secret FREED NAH }
Story of Successful Jap A. Bomb Brings Only
 Seoffing, Denia|s

ATLANTA, Oct 3. - Japanese scientists who developed and suc- cessfully tested an atom bomt three days before the war ended are now prisoners of the Russians in Moscow, the Atlanta Constitu- ticn said in copyrighted story in today's issue. The report brought skeptical responses or denials from American authorities.
 The author, David She'll a for mer reporter for the paper, who recently returned from service with criminal investigation detach- ment operating in Korea, said the Russians had brought pressure on the captured scientists to learn the atomic know how"
 Shell said he obtained his story from a Japanese officer who re- presented himself as head of coun- ter-espionage at Japan's atomic developing project at Roman, Korea.
 This officer, Shell wrote, declared that the Japanese destroyed their machinery, secret papers, and partly completed bombs only hours before the Russian army swept into Ko- nan.
 This story may throw light on Stalins recent statement that Am erica will not long have a monopoly on atomic weapons" Shell said in the Constitutions story.
 At Tokyo, U. s. Army intelli- gence officers today joined both American and Japanese scientists in scoffing at Shells accounts.
 Tt is a complete lie," comment ed Japan's foremost nuclear physi- cist, Dr. Yoshio Nishina
 Most unlikely" was the terse comments of U. s. Army intelli- gence in Tokyo.
 Japanese militarists, pr. Nishina added, were always lying and say ing things without foundation There was no such experiments in Chosen (Korea) However there was a fertilizer factory in Roman ,
 At San Francisco, however, Sec retary of War Patterson said he was sure reports of the Japanese atomic explosive were not true.
 Asked if he were denying the re- port that Japanese had made atom ic tests three days before the war ended, he said, that's right; I deny it."

Guam Also Be Built Up Into Formidable Pacific
 Fleet Outpost

PEARL HARBOR, Oct 3.--A new U. S. Navy policy in the Pacific calling for strong Alaska or Aleutian base and extension of it's outpost 5000 miles westward to Guam was announced today.
 The policy was made public at a press conference by Adm. John H. Towers, Commander of the Pacific Fleet, who conferred only Monday with President Truman and high Navy officials in Washington.
 Towers declared that Guam, B. 3l8 miles west of Pearl Harbor, would be turned into an outpost as strategically important as this Ha- waii Naval base-lcng the symbol of U. s. Navy might in the Pacific.
 The Admiral said the new Pacific policy will be to concentrate per manent Naval installations in AL aska, the Aleutians, Hawaii and in the Marianas. which includes Guam
 Surface Ar Facilities
 This would include permanent facilities for surface warships as well as Navy air bases.
 Tt is obvious" Towers said, that we need a base further in the Pa- cific. Because of the mobility and range of surface and air fleets it is necessary that we extend our Pacific outpost beyond Pearl Har- bor.
 Guam fills this need and it will be equally as important, but not so large, as Pearl Harbor.'
 The Navy, the Admiral added, al ready has begun it's program of building up Guam's permanent in- stallations. The Navy long has hint ed that Guam would bulk large in future defense plans but this was the first official intimation that it would assume such an important role.
 Alaska Site Secret
 Towers declined to say where the new northern base would be built but predicted it probably would be somewhere near the center of tn somewhere near the center of the t somewhere east of the Navy's big base at Dutch Harbor, which Towers recently inspected.
 The Navy also wants another base in the Philippines. Towers said The Navy wants anchorages where fuel stations can be located for dispersal in this age of atomic bombs.
 But the best security he added, is to keep our monopoly of the atomic bomb until the world is more settled than it is at present. 2

Beef May Be Even More Scarce Before Situation

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. - Presi- dent Truman agreed with Recon version Director John R. Steelman today that the meat shortage may grow worse this winter.
 The President said there is no conflict between a report released today by Steelman and his own views expressed to news confer ence last week.
 The President, asked at today's news conference if there was a discrepancy, said he had conceded that there will be meat shortages ahead even though he looked for improvement soon, but that there will be no meat famine.
 That, the President said, does not imply a difference between the two views.
 Told that Steelman said the meat shortage would grow worse this winter, the President said he was having a survey made and that Steelman may be correct.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 3-CIO longshoremen and the Waterfront Employers Association were dead locked today over single issue, with negotiations to settle the west coast longshoremen's current strike suspended and no further confer ences scheduled.
 Employers saio that Harry Bridg- es, International Longshoremens and Warehousemens' Union presi- dent, had baked a contract agree ment by suddenly reviving' the is sue of ship loading on lumber schooners, now handled by AFL sailors.

Byrnes Sure
 No Nation Is
 s'aniing War
SidIin Statement Hailed by U. 5. State Secretary
 in Paris Talk
By Relman Morin


 PARIS, Oct. 3.-Secretary of State James F. Byrnes declared today that the difficulty facing the worlds peace-makers was that, while no nation wants war, na- tions may pursue policies or cours- es of action which lead to war"
 Secretary Byrnes hailed the re- cent statement of Soviet Prime Minister Stalin that there was no immediate danger of new armed conflict, but he said that nations may seek political and economic advantages which they cannot ob- tain without war
 That is why, if we wish to avoid war, we must> decry not only war but the things which lead to war" he said in an address to the Am erican Luncheon Club here.
 Take Greatest Care imminent, we must take the great est care not to plant the seeds of a future war We must seek less to defend our actions in the eyes of those who already agree with us and more to defend our actions in the eyes of those who do not agree with us. But our defense must be the defense of justice and freedom, the defense of the political and economic rights not of few priv ileged men or nations but all men and all nations"
 Byrnes said the conflict of view points among the Allies" was ser ious, but, echoing Stalin. he said there was no immediate danger of war.
 Conflict Serious
 After every great war which has been won by the combined efforts of many nations, there has been a conflict among the allies in the making of peace" Byrnes said in his prepared address Tt would be iolly to deny the seriousness of the conflict in viewpoints among the Allies after this war.
 ITO ignore that conflict or min- imize it's seriousness will not solve the conflict nor help us along the road to peace.
 ITO exaggerate that conflict and its seriousness, on the other hand, only makes more difficult the re- solution of the conflict.
 T concur most heartily in the view recently expressed by Gener- alissimo Stalin that there is no immediate danger of war. I hope that his statement will put an end to the unwarranted charges that ahy nation or group oi nations is seeking to encircle the Soviet Un- ion, or that the responsible lead ors of the Soviet Union so believe" :"
