BINC, BOB, D0TTy
 IN GREAT COMEDY
 AT 20TR CENTURY

Three Of screenlands most sea- soned travellers cap their zany ad- ventures with a hilarious trek up the Road to Utopia" Paramount's latest Road film, due at the goth Century tonight. Insiders say that Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour have hit the millennium in laughs in this slap happy gag-a-minute show which takes the tireless trio into the gold-studded Yukon.
 The object of their misadyen- lures is a rich mine Buried in the snowcapped Alaskan hills. It's Dotty's inheritance, but two of tke Yukon's shootm'est thugs are out to swipe it, so Bob and Bing assure Lamour they'll beat them to the punch The trip is made just a bit mere difficult when the two boys mistake the ships port hole for safe and throw their boat fare to the sharks fins. With their last dollar floating away, Pob ard Bing have to start working their way northward Reports in- dicate that this and other such situations make the script provid- ed by by Norman Panama and Melvin Frank a god mine Of laughs.
 While climatic conditions make lis necessary for Dotty to trade her jungle sarong for a lined parka, she nevertheless has ample opportunity to display the fam ed Lamour form in some slinky Edith Head creations. On one such occasion she gives forth with a little city entitled, "Personal- ity,' lyrics by Johnny Burke and music by James Van Heusen. Bob and Bing also sing a suneful ar ray of melodies written by the popular song writing team.
 A Paul Jones production, Road to Utopia" includes Hillary Brooke, Douglass Dumbrille. Jack LaRCe, Robert Barrat and Nestor Paiva in the supporting cast.
 Preview commentaries indicate that under the direction of Hal Walker Road to Utopia" moves along at a riotous pace-a real laugh treat fer old and young alike.

DREDGING OUT
 CAST. CHANNEL
 K NO NEARER

That locally project which would see a 75-foot channel dredged from Juneau to Fritz Cove is not to be realized during the coming year, at least. This is def initely stated in a communication from the War Departments Dep uty Director of Civil Works for Rivers and HarborS to the Terri torial Highway Engineer, w. Leon- ard Smith.
 The Highway Engineer inquired whether the War Departmcnt's s budget for the next fiscal year included on item for dredging Gastineau Channel. He was ad- vised that it does not, as: the Budget estimates for appropria- tions for river and harbor and flood control work during the fis- cal year l948 contemplated the continuation of only those pro- jects under construction during the current fiscal year"
 Highway Engineer Smith was further advised by It. Col Richard L Jewett: You may be sune that the Corps ot Engineers recognizes the importance of the improve ments of Gastineau Channel, as evidenced ty the report of the Chief of Engineers which forms the basis for the presently au- thorized project, and that author ized work will be initiated as soon as may be consistent with bud eetary requirements

ARAB COUNTRIES MAKE DEMAND,
 UNITED NATIONS
Solution of Holy Land Problem Is Independent
 Palestine State
By MAX HARRELSON

LAKE SUCCESS, N Y, May 12 -LR-The Arab countries joined to- day in a sharp warning to the United Nations that they would not abide by any solution of the Holy Land problem except one that would create an independent state of Palestine.
 The Arab warning, interpreted by some delegates as asl ultimatum was given by Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
 The Jewish agency for Palestine meanwhile clashed with Russia and brought the wartime record of the exiled Grand Multi of Jerusalem into the United Nations debate on Palestine.
 Dr. Fadhil Jamaly, Foreign Min iSter of Iraq, speaking after the agency had made new plea for a Jewish homeland, said:
 No Arab who is self respecting and true to his aspirations would ever subscribe to a Jewish state.
 Meanwhile American sources pre- dicted that the United Nations would override a Russian move aim ed at giving Palestine full indepen- dence possibly within six months
 They predicted also the Russians would be defeated in their effort to include the five major powers on the proposed inquiry commis- sion for the Holy Land

CRAFT GOES DOWNRIGHT
 MEN DEAD
Bodies of Four Recovered But Others Missing-
 Mystery Wreck

SEATTLE, May 12. = lR - Four seamen still are missing from the eight-man crew of the War Surplus tug w. II. McFadden which sank late Friday in the Strait of Juan De Fuca, the Coast Guard said all are believed to have perished.
 The Coast Guard announced this forenoon that search efforts were being abandoned after exhaustive efforts had failed to locate the sunken craft or any evidence that any of the men survived
 Coroner A. C. Grady said at Port Townsend examination of the bod ies led him to believe the boat might have caught fire and the men had time only to don life jackets before an explosion sent it down.
 Exact cause of the sinking re- mains mystery, although ship ping. men and Coast Guard author ities expressed belief the craft eith- CT foundered in treacherous rip tide or caught fire and exploded.
 The McFadden, a 68foot, 400 horsepower steel-decked tug, was enroute to New Orleans, La. It was purchased recently from the War Surplus Administration by the Li- cuifie Fuel and Transportation Co.,, Fort Worth, Tex.
 Identification of each of the four bodies, found off Dungeness be- tween Port Angeles and Port Townsend Saturday, was completed yesterday. They are.
 Capt. Joseph Zilla, 50, San Fran cisco Chief Engineer Albert E. Mill Ter, 46, and Asst. Engineer Peter M. Scholt, 34 both of Seattle; and Utility Engineer Jack M. Mccarthy, 28, Toppenish, Wash.
 Still missing are Seaman Karl Dalen, A, and Seaman George E. Sallee, 35, both of Seattle; Mate Earl M. Forrest, Jr., 26, Santa Mon ica, Calf; ard Cook Peter F. Hol- den 48, Manchester, Eng.

 OF BUDGET
 DEMANDED
Senator Taff Wants Action Before Debate Begins
 on Tax Cutting
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, May 12-tR- Senator Taft tR-Ohio) called today a senate-House budget trimming decision ahead of scheduled Sen ate action next week on the $4,0o0 100000 tax cut bill.
 Taft said he will ask leaders from both sides of the Capitol to get together on a compromise of the economy pledge which has been hanging firse since March 3.
 The Senate voted 64 to 20 then to whack $4,50O,oO0O0O off Presi- dent Truman's proposed $37,500,- 100000 outlay for the year begin ming July l. It tackled on pro- vision earmarking $2,600,000,000 of any surplus for debt reduction.
 The House earlier had pledged a $6, 100000 spending cut without any specific debt payment prom ises.
 While the Ohio Senator was si- lent on the particular point, he obviously hopes to be armed with an agreement on spending cuts before the Republicans undergo a Democratic age-intensified by pot shots from some COP mem- bers-on the tax reduction bill.
 Senators Aiken tR-Vt fre- quent dissenter on party policy matters, and Senator Wilson (R- Iowa), who goes off the reservation occasionally, said they want to know the spending totals before they vote on taxes.
 Democrats have lost no oppor- tunity to point out that for more than two months, the Republicans haven't been able e&o agree on how deep the prunins knife shall go.
 They have shouted that the Re- publicans are trying to whittle government costs at the expense of self-liquidating projects. They have contended tha. debt reduc- ton should come before tax cuts
 The COP leaders have heard some of the same tunes played within their own party's ranks both in and out of Congress.
 Gov. Earl Warren of California, often mentioned as a possible first or second place COP nominee in 1948, aimed indirect criticism at the party's congressional leadership on a weekend visit here.
 At a news conference Warren called for balancing the budget and a substantial debt reduction be- fore there are any tax cuts-a position most congressional Demo- cratS have taken.

The W ashing ion Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = While several million veterans and others con- tinue pounding the pavements try ing to find homes, the anti-housing lobbyists staged gala dinner at the Statler Hotel here. The dinner was engineered by ace-lobbyist Mor- ton Bodfish, executive -presi- dent of the U. s. Savings and Loan League and the American Savings and Loan Institute, who managed to corral so many Congressmen for his jamboree that it took 45 min utes to introduce them.
 Chief target of the anti-houSing dinner was the -Ellender- -Wag- ner Housing Bill which provides Government loans for low-cost housing This, of course, cuts the ground out from under the profits on housing made by the building and loan associations, which is why the lobbyists are gnashing their teeth and buttonholing Congress men.
 The man who cracked the whip and introduced the speakers at the dinner = Morton Bodfish II doesn't often get into the headlines, but is one of the most astute wire-pullers in Washington. He even managed to wangle desk in the office of Secretary of the Navy Knox during
