Canadian Railroad May Be Extended Into Alaska

SEATTLE, (P)-Canada's trans continental railroads now appear highly receptive toward joint ac- quisition of the Pacific Great Eastern Railroad and its extension into the Peace River area, E. C. Carson, British Columbia minister of public works, said Monday al the Pacific Northwest Trade Asso- citation meeting.
 Carson said the railway, owned by the British Columbia govern ment, is an ideal instrument to protect Alaska, and predicted it's eventual extension to the Terri tory.
 The line runs from SquamiSh on Howe Sound, 40 miles north Of Vancouver, 347 miles to Quesnell, B. C.
 The minister was one of several speakers to touch on Alaska dur ing the first day of the associa- tion's two-day meeting.
 George Sundborg, former gen eral manager of the Alaska Devel- opment Board, predicted that Alaska will shortly be capable ot producing 5000 tons of newsprin' paper weekly at prices competi. tive with the eastern Canadian anc

SPORTS
 ROUNDUP
tBy Allan Merritt

ST. LOUIS, P) - If the St. Louis Cardinals repeat by coming from behind to snatch the National League pennant from the Brooklyn Dodgers, all the hoWls that go up in Mound City won't be for joy.
 Last fall after the Cardinal Dodger pennant playoff there was considerable hue and cry over the fact that only about l2,000 re- served seat world series tickets were left for sale to the general public for the game at SpOrtsmanS Park. This time, unless it devel- ops that such speculation is en- tirely unnecessary, only about $500 will be left for John Q: Pub lie.
 Main reason for this situation is that the Cardinals have sold some 10000 ticket books this sea- son, about double the number sold in l946. Each holder of two of these books is entitled to a set of world series tickets if the Red- birds win.
 Cardinal manager Eddie Dyer's prediction that the pennant chase would end in another bruising battle between the world cham pions and their old Brooklyn foes, with Boston and New York close behind, is remarkable in that he made it early last June when the RedbirdS were giving their all to get out of the loops dungeon Dyer's faith in the club doesn't change with the standings, and his

Warns Soviet
 U. s. Can Launch Atomic Warfare

SEATTLE, (PD - Soviet Russia had grim warning yesterday from one of its former staunch friends. Commerce Secretary w. Avarell Hartman, that the ties of the world still hold the trump card of atomic retaliation against aggres- sion.
 In an important policy speech cleared in advance by the State Department in Washington, the cabinet officer flatly declared Monday night that Soviet i'm perialism" is menace to the peace of the world.
 Then with grave and pointed emphasis he said:
 Tn this atomic age there is no protection against retaliation by air. Our ability to launch an imme- diate strong aerial retaliation is the greatest possible deterrent against the use of military force by others
 Harriman's publicly-annOunced stand is a direct about face from his attitude at the time he was ann bassador to Russia. Then he hoped cooperation with the Soviet Union would bring long period oi peaceful readjustment after the Wartorn years.

American market.
 He said also that Alaskans want Canadian ships given the right to haul freight to and from and be- tween Alaskan ports, a procedure now forbidden by federal law.
 Numerous speakers attributed Alaska's present shipping delays and problems to labor cOntrover- sies which are not solvable, they said, without approval of Harry Bridges.
