COAST GUARD 10 BE
 EXPANDED IN kLASKA

It is anticipated that postwar Coast Guard operations in Alaska will far exceed prewar establish ments, although the Coast Guard is not yet in any position to make any definite commitments at this time, according to information giv- en Delegate F. L. Bartlett by Ad- miral J. F. Farley, Coast Guard Commandant.
 The final organization of the service in Territorial waters cannot be accurately determined at this time, Admiral Farley reported to Delegate Bartlett, since the post war strength of the Coast Guard is not yet determined. Many new responsibilities have been assumed by the service in Alaskan waters during the period of war, most of them lying in the Aleutian area" ." Admiral Farley stated.
 If these are all retained for peacetime operation, considerable expansion of the service in Alaskan waters over its preWar size will result. The scope of territory to be covered is so great that very careful consideration would have to be given to final distribution of the available equipment to lest serve the needs of the area as a whole. Such expansion. of the ser vice as has so far been contem- plated has necessarily been planned chiefly with a view to meeting the new responsibilities in the western area, both as respects vessels and bases"

not pleading for mass armies as our best defense.
 The next war will not be fought by mass armies, possibly not even 1 by direct force. It will be a war between Anglo-SaXon and non-An- glo Saxon and largely war of poe litical intrigue. It Is the height of folly to fear Russia's massive armies and not dread her secret service and international political machinationS. In this field of government, the Russians have had no rivals in abil- | ity since 1880 except possibly Hein- rich Himmler, Goebbels and RoSen- berg who stroVe desperately to initiate the third section and the O.GP.U. A far more constructive move than draft extension at the present time would be the creation of new governmental agency to combat this Russian activity all over the world.
 The F. B. l., the greatest collec- ton of inflated egos the world has ever seen, is absolutely incapable of rising to the necessary level of political intelligence.
 SlaVonic genius for political and social disorganization smashed the great Austrian empire without fir- ing @ shot and Russians are SlavS remember? One good Rus sian political agent can do more for his country than a division of American troops garrisoned in Germany. An eighteen-year old American boy with a rifle in one hand and chocolate bar for his German fraulein in the other Is hardly match for Russian agent when 1t comes to controlling the German mind. Until this is rec- ognized the A.M,G. in Germany will continue to be the dismal fail- ure that 1t has been thus far.
 The clamor for mass armies has been likened to the "Maginot Mind" of France. I think this Is a highly productive metaphor mass armies will be of little use against pres- ent and future Russian intrigue against Anglo The so- called German Fifth Column will seem like display of kindergarten talent compared to what Moscow and SlaVdom is scheming. If Anglo-SaXon power fails to see the nature of the struggle, atom bomb and billion dollar fleets notWith- standing, doom is inevitable.
 It Is heartening to see that Con- gress intuitively refuses to let America be lulled to sleep behind this proposed "Maginot Line" of mass armies The French Army, the finest army in the world, they uesd to say, lasted IS days after German political agents were through with them The technique was learned in Moscow. Let us not sleep in false secu@t"

 Perhaps that's why I would not be allowed to give visas."
 It was his feeling that the more American newspapermen who went to Russia, the better 1t would be for his country.
 The other two visitors were General Mikhail Gaaktionov military editor of Pravda, respendent in his uniform, and Konstantine M Simonov, of Red Star, author of Days and Nights" novel about the siege of Stalngrad in which he partici- pated.
 It was SaIutary for American editors to get the Russian viewpoint on American newspapers. The Russians think some of our newspapers present distorted idea of Russia and the Russians and think perhaps that's something that our editors should take up among themselves Mir. Ehrenburg assured the American editors that there Is no malice in Russian newspapers toward the United States though there may be mistakes. He would like to say the same thing for American newspapers He did not include the whole American press in his criticism Some he said, made honest mistakes But others made mistakes on purpose
 The Russians also emphasized that they llke their country even as Nike ours, with the plain inference that Americans will just have to accept the fact of a difference in forms Of government
 They were confronted with some frank ques- tioas about government-dominated newspapers Tn Russia and the lack of the sort of freedom that our newspapers have to criticize the government Ihey found themselves in the same sort Of difficulty that the three American newspapermen did in Russia when asked about the American press. as to influ- ence of advertisers and other private interests TOT example, on American newspapers.
 The mirror has something to show in each case
 An understanding of differences, and an acc ceptance of them at the outset, Is perhaps the oe- ginning of sound approach Of each nation to the other-differences in form of government, the peo- pe newspapers and other institutions. For us to oo our part properly 1t is essential that our reporters can move and write freely in Russia.

 This was, in effect, the return of a visit made some time ago by three American newspapermen- Wilbur Forrest New York Herald-Tribune Ralph McGi Atlanta Constitution, and Dean Carl AcEer- man of Columbia University School of Journalism to Russia part of trip around the world in the interest of broadening channels of communication and promoting international press freedom

 This, of course is something beyond the three newspaper visitors, was made plain But one Of them pledged their behalf as soon as they got back to Russia they would raise the question Of getting American correspondents to Russia on broader base

fore House members left on their Easter hollday. Soon after the conference got under way at a. ng however 1t became apparent that this was forlorn hope.
 Four of the seven House conferees-R Republicans Wolcott of Michigan Crawford Of Michigan ana Gamble of New York, plus Democrat Brown Of Georgia Gall VAV Congressmen)-s notice they would make bitter-end fight against the $60OOOO- 900 in subsidies, as well the Senate's amendment calling for government-guaranteed market to pro- ducers of 100000 pre-fabricated houses Since pre- fabricated houses are produced on mass basis the Senate considered it necessary to guarantee builders market of 100000 houses.
 Wolcott, Crawford, Gamble and Brown weren't really opposed to this guaranteed marked amend ment but used 1t as compromising weapon to scut- tie subsidies. In other words, they offered to back down on a guaranteed market the other con- ferees backed down on subsides-described by Pres ident Truman as the heart" of the bill.
 This proposition was flaty rejected by the re- maning three House conferees - Representative Wright PatInan of Texas, author of the original bill Brent Spence of Kentucky and William Barry of New York Gall Democrats)
 The seven Senate conferees were also unanimous ly opposed including Barkley of Kentucky, Murdock of Utah, Taylor of Idaho Mitchell of Washington, Indiana.
 Patman and BarkIey urged, begged and CajOled with the four House objectors, but got nowhere. Finally they offered compromised cut the subsidy provision from 900 to OOO0OOOO
 we haven't time to quarrel here all day" Pat man of Texas pleaded. Tt will be too late If we don't reach an agreement soon. The House will re- cess for Easter in just few hours"
 However the adamant four refused to budge an inch They knew that as long as they stuck together they could prevent the bill from being submitted to the House.
 we are against subsidies In any form" Wolcott and his cohorts repeated over and over again, We are against billion 0000-or even one dollar
 At p. m., after about six hours of pickering, 1t was decided that the Senate conferees shouio depart and let the warning House delegates try to work out an agreement alone. The seven Senators were to be notified of their progress Another hour passed When no word came from the House con- ferees several Senators investigated and learned that the meeting had broken up with Wolcott and
