 Alaska Settlement Support
By WILLIAM E. LOWELL

WASHiNL- aug. iz.-iR- Tn head of a veterans group en- gagged in developing colony at Port Chilkoot in Alaska has com- mended Rep. Crawford R-Mich) for a statement encouraging settle ment of the Territory.
 Crawford, Chairman of a public lands subcommittee considering statehood for Alaska, recently said Alaska should be home steaded, colonized and settled as quickly as possible
 Burke Edwards, former Air Force Major, and president of the Port Chilkoot Co.,, which bought Chil- koot Barracks at a surplus sale, said in a statement:
 We need people who think as Mir. Crawford does and we are get ing them"
 Some Arriving
 He said some of the advance party already have arrived at Port. Chilkoot, which is 75 miles north of Juneau, the Territorial Capital. He said he communicates nightly via amateur radio with Martin A. Cordes, resident mana ger at Port Chilkoot.
 Only Wednesday night" he said, "Cordes reported a new par ty had arrived with four-year- old daughter and dog, via the AL aska Highway" The newest arriy- als were not identified.
 Harry B. Gauss, of the Interior Departments Bureau of Land Management said the Department is encouraging settlement of the Territory and is drawing atten- tion to possibilities for develop ment through use of areas along the highway, recently released to public use.
 Highway Opportunities
 We are pointing out the possl- bilities of settlement but not nec- essarily homesteading," Gauss told reporter. "Homesteading re- quires some farming and the farming opportunities are limited. Along the highway, though, there were opportunities for service sta- tion and other activities"
 Edwards, too, noted these possi- bilities. The property taken over by his company includes 400 acres and 86 buildings.
 We have the makings of AL aska's greatest city" he said. we have the essentials of a complete town situated on peninsula with 100-foot deep fiords on either side, from which 4,000-foot peaks rise straight up. This natural set ting, plus the already installed necessities for modern living, will make Port Chilkoot the economic and vacation center of America l He said inquiries had been re- ceived from all over the country from doctors, nurses, school teach CTS, dairymen; lahorers, farmers and ministers.

 3RD PARTY MOVE
William Green Challenges Republicans to Nomi-
 ndte Sen. Tdft

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l2-R The American Labor movement, if it achieves unity, could develop a third political party-possibly 37,- 030OC0 strong-President Daniel Tobin told the AFL International Brotherhood of Teamsters conven- tion.
 GAS he spoke, creation of a third party at a statewide meeting in Los Angeles Aug. 24 was being urged in letters to every labor union in California. Nine members of a joint trade union committee not connected with the Teamsters signed the appeals. Hugh Bryson, National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards, CIO, was named as chairman of the movement
 For years I have been against third party" Tobin told the opening session of the Teamsters convention yesterday, but times are changing. I may change my mind. But theie is no hope for a third party until the Labor move ment is cemented into one
 AFL President William Green told the convention he challenged the Republican National Ccavcn- tion to nominate Robert A. Taft for the Presidency, so We can have a clear-cut issue in 1948.' He said that Taft would suffer the worst defeat ever handed any candidate of a major party for the Presi- dency."

Trust Busters To Hunt Price
 "(onspiraties"
Attorney General Clark Names Food, Clothing,
 Housing as Targets

WASHINGTON, Aug. l2-Ih- Attorney General Clark today or dered an investigation of food clothing and housing prices.
 He instructed the Justice De- partment's antitrust division to determine whether 'conspiracies' exist ito maintain or to increase present prices in the food, cloth- and housing fields"
 Jail sentences. rather than mere ly fines, will be sought for any violators, it was announced.
 A Justice Department statement announcing Clark's action. said:
 Such c!onspiracies will be prose- cuted criminally and in those cases the Justice Department will oppose acceptance by the courts of pleas of nolo contendere tho contest. and upon conviction of the defendants the Department will recommend jail sentences for the individual defendants and maximum fines against the corpor- ations.'
 The statement said the investi- gation follows months study of the present price situa- ton by assistant Attorney Gener- al John F. Sonnett who took charge of the antitrust division in May.
 Clark feels, it was added, that the soaring high prices now con- tinuing in the food. clothing and housing fields, require that new and more vigorous approach be undertaken in these fields"

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON -Vivacious, seN- sational Sra. Eva Duarte De Per- cn, wife of the Argentine Presi- dent, now has received decorations from Dictator Franco and Pope Plus XII, and has toured the capi- tals of many European countries.
 During her tour, she conversed nightly by transatlantic telephone with her husband in BuenoS Aires. Apparently she was worried about Perons political situation. In order to ensure maximum privacy for these talks, Argentine communl- cations officials used special high frequency, ultrashortwave ra- dio-telephone circuit. Despite these precautions, the Merry y-Go-Round herewith presents a verbatim ex- cerpt, in translation, from one of their conversations just before Sonora De Peron left Italy:
 Eva: T want to make dona- ton to the families of the victims in the munitions-ship explosion here; you know?"
 Peron: Yes all right. Do whatever you like about that"
 Eva: Listen, I'm worried"
 Peron: "Why?"
 Eva: About going to France. They tell me it isn't safe,'
 Peron: NO, no - don't worry. Everything has been taken care of."
 Eva: But everyone here advises me against it. They say it would be very dangerous. I don't know"
 Peron: T tell you everything has been arranged. have been assured personally. It's perfectly all right; you can go ahead"
 Eva; Well, then . listen, how are matters there? Is everything going well?p
 Peron: "Yes, of course. Every things fine"
 Eva: You are deceiving me! You keep saying that everything is fine, but here they tell me that things are going very badly. You are deceiving mel"
 Peron: No, no! am not de- ceiving you about anything. Don't let yourself be upset by stupid ru- mors without foundation. I am telling you the truth. Everything is all right"
 Eva: Well, I hope so. I have Eeen very worried :"
 Sonora Peron had reason to be worried. The Argentine military have heen watching her husband carefully, have even been tapping his phone.

SUMMARY ON MARSHALL

With General Marshall now in office six months, it is fair to summarize his abilities in the all- important, highly complicated job of Secretary of State.
 One fear expressed at the time of Secretary Marshall's appointment was that he might run the State Department as a military organi- zation; forget that he was a diplo- mat, not a soldier. Military men are accustomed to giving orders and having them carried out; a diplomat cannot give orders to a foreign country.
