 That adequate defense for the Territory is one of the most es- sential things we face at the pres ent time"
 Members of Congress who have visited the Territory this summer including Senator Capeheart R.- IndD and Rep. William A. Dawson R.-Utah, have said they believe the Territory should be given the best defenses possible.
 They said if an attack was made on the United States they felt cer- tain it would come through Alas ka.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska this week also called for an immediate defense program to prepare the Territory for any kind of attack that may come and Senator Cain R.-WashD has proposed increased defenses.

Fire Destroys $6O,OOO Hotel In Prince Rupert

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., R- Fire of undetermined origin early today destroyed the $60,000 Gen. tral hotel here and fear was felt that missing, elderly Indian wo- man, last seen in the hotel, may have been a victim of the blaze.
 All other guests of the four story frame hotel clambered down fire escapes in night attire to saf- ety.
 The fire, which also damaged a nearby apartment block, for time threatened the former United States army administration build ing-a half-block sized structure now owned by war assets and up for disposal-but was brought un- der control by volunteer freight CTS who were assisted by a driving rain.
 Police in this northern British Columbia coast city were carrying out an intensive search for the In- dian woman. Witnesses reported hearing screams from the hotel but the terrific heat from the 40- foot flames blocked early efforts to get near the building.
 
 The hotel, overlooking the wa terfront, was a landmark in the community. Built in 1910, it was bought Is months ago by Theo- dore Hagblad of Lethbridge, Alta.

BY the Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 15.-James
Lewis and Charles Trudell, teen
aged colored youths, sentenced to die
Friday for the Staying of their white
employer, have been granted a Go
day stay of execution.
The stay was granted by Chief
Justice Sydney Smith of the State
Supreme Court at the request OF
w. D. Coleman. attorney for the
youth.
Mr.. Coleman said he would base
the appeal on contention the 14th
Amendment to the Constitution has
been violated in that the boys are
being deprived of their lives without
due process of law.
The stay of execution is the sec
ond the youths have received. After
the Mississippi Supreme Court up
held the conviction and sentence
the death date was set for Friday,
December 13. Mr.. Coleman sug-
gested the court had erred in its
finding and the case was reviewed.
When the suggestion of error was
overruled by the high court, Gov.
Fielding I. Wright granted a stay
of execution until Friday to allow
time for personal investigation Of
the case.
He interviewed Lewis and Trudell
in their Wilkinson County Jail cell
and later announced he felt they
were not entitled to clemency.

Farm Union Charges
Conspiracy 10 Import
Mexican Cheap Labor

The National Farm Labor Union
today called on Congress for an in
vestigation of what it contended
was a conspiracy between certain
officials of the United States Immi-
grafton Service and large farm op-
orators in Texas to bring Mexicans
into this country as cheap farm
labor"
Holding the final session of its
18th annual convention in the Mt.
Vernon Place Methodist Church, the
union adopted a number of resolu-
tions, including one calling for the
congressional probe of the Immigra-
ton Service.
The union was placed on record
as approving formation of Ameri-
cans for Democratic action, an or
ganization recently formed here with
la stand against Communists and
headed by former Housing Admins
traitor Wilson Wyatt and former
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
|son.
Other union resolutions called for
abolition OF the poll tax, creation OF
a permanent Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee. formation of an
independent Government agency to
make loans to veterans for purchase
of farms, extension of social security
benefits to farm laborers and ap-
proval of the world food board
proposed by Sir John Orr of the
Food and Agriculture Organization
for distributing farm surpluses.
Delegates heard Gardner Jackson,
of the Food for Freedom Organiza-
ton, warn that mechaniza ton of
American farms threatened hun
dreds of thousands" of workers who,
he said, are likely to be forced out
of their homes Into a wandering
army seeking livelihoods in an in
dustrial labor market"
The three-day convention ends
tonight when William Green, pres
ident of the AFI, will speak. He
will be heard over the Columbia
Broadcasting Network at 6:15 pm.

Agency Heads 10 Face
0versfaffing 0uizby |
Senate Unit NextWeek |
BY Joseph Young

Heads of Federal departments and
agencies will be called before the
Senate Civil Service Committee
starting next week to justify the
number of persons on their payrolls
and to face close questioning on
personnel practices.
While Chairman LANCER doesn't
60 along with some of his Repub-
lican colleagues in Congress who
want to fire 100000 Government
workers, he does feel there is an
excess number of employees in some
Federal agencies, and he is deter
mined to find out which bureaus are
the offenders.
Final arrangements for conduct
Ing this investigation are not COM
pleted, but the committee is consid-
ering delegating the work to a SUBJ
committee which can devote full.
time to the study.
Interior Is First.
A committee source said the
group feels such an investigation
would supplement the job of the
Appropriations Committees which
the spokesman declared do not
have sufficient time to conduct
complete studies of their own.
All information gathered by the
Senate Civil Service Committee will
be turned over to the Appropriation
Committee of both houses for their
consideration. it was said.
First department to come under
the scrutiny of Senator Langer's
group will be the Interior Depart
menJ. The committee is especially
interested in the departments Office
feeling that the agency is over
stated. The initial hearing is set
for next Tuesday.
GSI Report Awaited.
The committee in its investigation
of the various Federal agencies will
pay close attention to two charges
made frequently by congressional
economy advocates, namely, that
some Government officials are loath
to let employees go and thus lessen
their own Importance, and secondly,
that personnel practices are so slip
shod in some instances groups OF
employees are performing duties that
half the number could accom-
plish satisfactorily under competent
management.
Meanwhile, the committee Is
aVaiting the report of suocom-
mittee on progress made thus 1ar
on an investigation of the actlVltles
of Government Services, Inc, oper-
ators of So Federal cafeterias here.
An initial report is expected TO be
made within the next week.
The committee also is studying
the postal rate problem, with view
to recommending mailing rate in
creases if the situation warrants 1t.
Would Retain Rate.
Post Office Department officials
appeared before the group yesterday
and recommended that the wartime
3-cent local flrst-claSs postal rate,
which will revert to 2 cents on
July /, be retained at 3 cents per- /
manently. They also asked that
mailing rates be increased on parcel
post and second-class matter.
The officials warned that unless
this is done, the Government would
face a 1852 100000 deficit in postal
operations for the fiscal year 1948-
more than double the 1946 deficit.
No specific rate increase recommen-
dationS were made, and the COM
mittee set February 18 as the date
when the Post Office Department ,
will submit specific proposals.
