PROPOSES BIG SLASH
 IN QUOTAS
Ba(kfire to Truman $ An nounCement Gets Ire
 of Rep. Gossetf

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-A move to slash immigration quotas took shape anew today in a backtire to President Truman's announcement , that he may ask Congress to let more European refugees enter the United States.
 Rep. Gossett tD-Texas) said he will re-introduce bill as soon as congress reconvenes calling for a 50 percent cut in all quotas.
 Telling a reporter he has wide spread backing for his proposal, the Texan said a similar measure was defeated by only two votes in the House Immigration Committee this year.
 Another southerner, Rep Rankin CD-Miss), commented that nearly all Southern Democrats woGld sup port the measure, along with many Republicans.
 MT. Truman said in his state ment on Palestine last week that he was contemplating asking con eress for special legislation to auth orize the entry of a fixed number of displaced persons from Europe including Jews.
 Even before Gossett's disclosure that he will reopen his fight tc trim all immigration quotas, it ap- peared that the Presidents propos- al, if he makes it, will be in fol rough going.
 Senator Andrews D-Fla), 2 c.ose friend of MT Truman ano his seat-mate for several years when the President was a Senator said flatly in an interview tha the Senate Immigration Committee of which he is member. will no be in favor of increasing the quo tas.'

 Placing the blame on no cne group, the speaker said that new enterprise in the Territory, and business expansion was too often faced with discouraging, if not sti- fling confusion on requirements for franchises, permits, etc.
 In this respect he quoted the case of "a responsible group of people who have long struggled to estab- fish a large newsprint mill in Southeast Alaska"
 SOMETHING WRONG
 Evidently something is wrong when after so long struggle they have reached no concrete result, he said The group he referred to had spent almost S300,0o0 in re- search, exploration, etc, toward the project, he added.
 l As the only answer to such a problem, the speaker suggested a complete cooperation between the Territory and the Office of the Secretary of the Interior
 "As long as we work together we can defeat any such problem, :" he said.
 INTRIGUED"
 Regretting that he was spending so brief a time in Alaska, the speaker declared he was leaving Alaska intrigued" by her and con- fident of her great future.
 At the moment, he said, the present trip was the best way pes sible to get an overall picture. brief though it might be, of Alaska.
 T am taking away with me something of your courage and your spirit of right living" he said. Al though I shall soon be miles away, I shall carry great part of Alaska and my magnificent visit in my Iheart. If I have impressed you one-tenth as much as you and your Icountry have impressed me, l am sure we can all look forward to a new era of friendship between Alaska and the Department of In- terior, and of moving forward to- gether."
 As Secretary Krug sat down the applause greeting his speech con- tinued for almost a full minute and was followed by mods of approval , through the Gold Room where the : luncheon had been arranged under the auspices of the City of Juneau Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and Lions Club.
 Preceding his talk, the honor guest . was presented with the Flag of AL

 Military Must
Committee Favors Doubled Air Defense Strategic
 Import Recognized
BY WILLIAM F. ARBoGAST

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug 19- Concluding four-day inspection tour of Alaska, House Military Committee members expressed the opinion the United States vast northern territory must be ade- quately and quickly armed to re- pei any possible invader.
 There must never be a Pearl Harbor attack from the north" act ing Chairman John Sheridan D- Pa) told reporters who accompan- jed the committee on it's Alaskan tour.
 Alaska is direct overland route to the United States and we must not allow anyone to take it."
 A1RBoRNE DIVISION
 Sheridan and other committee members approved the goal of the Army leaders to base in Alaska a completely equipped and supported airborne division as the backbone on the defense program.
 1 That, they said, was the objective sought by Major General H. A. Craig, commanding general of the | Alaskan Department.
 An airborne division and support ing forces would require approxi- mately 2l,000 men, or almost twice as many as the Army has now ir the entire Territory.
 Other military needs of thf Territory, the committee members said, are more adequate housing fol ! Army and essential civilian person mel; an expanded program of train ing in Arctic warfare improvement and maintenance of the Alcar Highway as a truck route from the United States to the Alaskan in- terior; development of a highway system connecting the seaports witt Anchorage and Fairbanks, and de velopment of Whittier as port O. entry.
 AIR SUPERIORITY VITAL | Because of the remoteness of tht Territory north and west of tht Fairbanks -Anchorage area, militar! leaders do not believe any foe coult maintain an invasion force ther, without air superiority Fighte l planes and heavy bombers based a Ladd Field in Fairbanks are with 1 in reach of Nome, only short hol | across the Boring Sea from Si : beria and within reach of tn . farthest Aleutian islands on whicl : an invader might launch rocke devices on Pacific seaboard cities
 Development of military bases il 5 Alaska began on a large scale il , 1940, and was intensified two year 5 later when the Japs occupied Kisk
 and Attu. The Army now main
 tains bases at Adak and Shemy on the Aleutian Peninsula. The military committee member . left here by army plane for Sa :, Francisco, enroute to Honolulu.

a running gun battle on a crowd
ed boulevard shortly before noon
last Friday.
One French civilian was wound
ed in the gun fight. He was an
old Frenchman struck by an Amer

from the American Detention Bar
racks on April ID.
Military police tried to arrest
the three men, but they fed. The
first captured was Eddy Jones, Jr..
the colored soldier, whom the
MP's said resisted arrest. They
subdued him. His face bled from
the blows dealt him.

Conner G. Blackburn.
A military policeman said all of
