By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Pres- ident Truman's request to Congress for extension of provisions of the War Powers Act for another year was held out today by Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) as offering relief for Alaska's shipping prob lems.
 Under the present law, the pow CT of the Maritime Commission to operate the Alaska steamship lines expires February 28 Private oper- ators have said they will not take over unless they are given rate in creases.
 Magnuson contends that freight and passenger rates to Alaska al- ready are too high and that the Territory cannot stand another in- crease
 Extension of the War Powers Act to give the Maritime Commission permission to operate steamship lines where needed for another year" Magnuson told a reporter will give us time to find a solu- ton to Alaska's shipping problems "lf Congress approves the ex- tension asked in the Presidents message Monday. We can then plead Alaska's case with the Maritime Commission
 The service would continue to the Territory without Interruption, and meantime Congress could get to work on solution.
 Congress granted an extension last year so the Alaskan service could be continued and the situa- ttion is more critical now Magnuson and Delegate Bartlett i D-Alaska) said they would urge approval of the extension and ap- piopriation of money needed for government operation of the ship lines. The operation is now done with the companies acting as agents for the commission Extension of the War Powers Act Bartlett also told a reporter. will solve the critical situation for the time being and We may be able to work out a solution"
 After a conference between the ship owners and House Merchant Marine Committee last week, Bart lstt quoted the owners as saying that if Alaska protested proposed increased rates, demanding hearings and delayed putting them into ef- feet, the owners would stop ser vice to the Territory immediately upon taking over the lines
 The Alaska legislature voted yes terday to intervene in the rate case and demand hearings on the just ness of the proposed new tariffs.
 This would have the effect of suspending the rates until after Maritime Commission hearings

The W ashington Merry -Go Round!
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The splurge of recent air crashes is causing con- siderable worry to the Secret Ser vice agents responsible for the life of the President.
 The Secret Service is afraid the day may come when the Presidents special plane, The Sacred Cow. may also encounter bad weather oi mechanical trouble. They also know something about the Presidents propensity for taking off, rain or shine, and it keeps them awake at nights thinking about IL, When he wants to go someplace. he simply goes
 Result is that quiet campaign is under way inside the Secret Service to persuade the President to abandon air travel generally They want him to take the train as President Roosevelt did on al- most all occasions. FDR enjoyed train travel. It rested him and gave him a chance to get caught up with his correspondence. Truman, however, loves the speed of an air plane. He can get to Kansas City in four hours whereas it would take him two nights and day by train.
 The Secret Service has never re- covered from the scare it received on Christmas, l945. When MT Tru- man flew home to Independence in weather that had grounded all commercial airlines However. the President is hard man to persu- ade, ard his Secret Service body guards are not any too optimistic
