Alaska Freight
 Rates Under Fire In Seattle Hearings

SEATTLE, (H) - Alaska ship ping rates were under fire from a half dozen sides yesterday as the U. s. maritime commission con tinued hearings on continuation of the 35 per cent freight rate in- crease granted last spring.
 Opening round of the hearing yesterday was devoted to a dis cussion of financial statements and tariffs of the Alaska Steam ship Co.,, and Northland Trans portatiOn Co.,, with introduction of voluminous files covering the firms operations.
 A third major line operating to the Territory, Alaska Transporta- ton Co.,, also will enter it's files of operation.
 The 35 per cent increase was granted last spring when the gov ernment returned its wartime op- eration of Alaska shipping to pri- vate companies. It will expire next Jnne 30 unless extended.
 Numerous opponents to the rate extension are expected to appear during the course of the hearings. 1 These include Alaska development 1 board, official representative of the Territorial government board which is represented by Atty. Gen Ralph J. Rivers; Fairbanks cham Der of commerce, Alaska Miners Association, California Congress of Industrial Organizations, Ia coma chamber of commerce and l the Seattle Traffic Association.

U. s. To Strengthen Military Forces In Greece
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
 The belief here is rather that an increase in the military mission would simply speed up the work already undertaken and give the Greeks a morale boost in launch ing the offensive, probably some time this winter.
 An offensive is considered es- sential to bring the guerrilla fight ing under control and restore to Greece the minimum political sta bility which officials say is neces- Sary to enable the nation to under take an effective recovery pro gram.
 In a sense this estimate of the situation, which is now the pre- dominant official view, recognizes the failure of a theory widely held here earlier in the year. That was that if a liberal Greek gov ernment could be persuaded to of fer an amnesty to members of the guerrilla movement, the guerrilla forces would diSintegrate and only the Communist core would remain.

Weather Hampers Search For Lost PAA'Clipper

Continued from Page One) Juneau base late Monday. Shell Simmons of the Coastal Airline announced plans to resume com mercial flying yesterday unless P.A.A headquarters in Ketchikan relayed instructions for new search plan.
 Ali N. Monsen, pilot of the miss ing airliner, is an Alaska Coastal Airlines StockhOlder.
 Scores of surface boats of fed eral services joined the hunt, wis iting the myriad bays and cOVes 1 along the coast. Three B-17 bomb CTS of the rescue squadron at FL mendorf field, Anchorage, and two B-29's from Ladd Field at Fairbanks also joined the wide search.
 The Coast Guard cutter Wachu sett, which left Juneau late Sun day, has visited all sections of Chatham Strait, investigated sus- picious objects in the SagniaW Bay area, proceeded into Seymour Canal and scanned snoW-covered ridges without results. At last re- port, it was proceeding toward HOOnah.
 Weather conditions were fair in the northern sector Monday but poor to the south. The opinion ex- pressed by airmen in this area is that the plane met with disaster or MOnsen would have been able to get some word out on one of his three radio outlets. Monsen was thoroughly familiar with all sec tions on his flight route.
 KETCHIKAN, CP)-Their aeri- al vision obscured by rain and low-lying clouds, Pan American aid and field crews took to the ground today to comb the south ern sector of Annette Island in their dogged three-day old search for a missing four-engined air liner and its IS passengers and , creWmen.
 . Indictment weather brought the aerial search to an almost com , plete halt yesterday but not before more than a score of large and small planes had carried out a fruitless check of reported flares, smoke and strange objects.
 Close to a score of surface craft also participated in the search . without success. Reports of wreck age on an Annette island hillside, made by coast guard cutter, was reported by Pan American to have been large rock.

| lows who fleeced the people out of
billions. This law has been on the
books 81 years and you haven't en-
forced it yet" the senator shouted.
The chances are Berge will not get
the money he asked for, at least not
from Senator Langer's committee.
Opposition to Lilienthals confirm
alton is coming under-cover from
the power interests who do not want
to see atomic energy held as a pub
lie trust by the government Sena-
tor Moore of Oklahoma voiced their
philosophy when he said:
"Atomic energy holds promise of
being the greatest source of energy
yet harnessed by civilization. 1t
would be a serious mistake to place
any man who represents the philos-
ophy of government that Lilienthal
does in a position of power that may
have such an important influence
upon the future of the nation and
IliG WI H. anu VI COIll st JildJ Is
true, for with Lilienthal as chair
man, the private enterprise boys
would never get their hands on this
greatest source of energy yet har-
messed" 1t would be kept inviolate
as a public trust for the public who
have spent two billion dollars in it's
development.
As this is written, Democrats in
the senate are out with a compro-
mise plan to cut some four billion
dollars from the budget, but not at
the expense of the military services.
Secretary of War Patterson has de-
clared that General Eisenhower and
General Macarthur both say that to
cut almost two billion from the
army and navy should be disas-
trous." It would tie the hands of
General Marshall in his bargaining
at the Moscow meeting. One SEN
ator who opposes the cuts, Senator
Chan Quincy of South Dakota,
chairman of the senate armed serv-
icess committee, says some money
can be cut from the military budget
but that it should be done with a
scalpel and not with a meat axe"

SANLI[NdlIlZy

WASHINGTON, d. C-The pic
ture of passing events on Capitol
Hill this week is not one to engender
confidence The fight of truculent,
tory minded and grudge bearing
Senator Mcclellan against confirma-
ton of David Lilienthal as chairman
of the atomic energy commission, at
first viewed with humor by some as
letting an old man have his way,
now has been used as the basis for
covering up the opposition of pow
erful isolation groups and corporate
interests-an opposition which has
been brought into the open and
which, if successful, will throw the
whole issue of domestic atomic en-
ergy control open to monopoly and
concentration of economic power
and make it a political issue in the
1948 campaign.
Not often is there almost univer-
sal press criticism of any determina-
ton to. slash six billion dollars from
the federal budget. But the an
nouncement of the COP subcommit-
tee of its intention to do just that
has brought storm of criticism
from almost every major newspaper.
The criticism is aimed not against
the cut in the budget as such, but
against the method by which the
committee arrived at the decision to
make national defence the sufferer.
Senator LANCER of North Dakota,
not often on the popular side of
many questions, has taken the lead
against indiscriminate firing of gov
eminent employees, declaring that
any idea of a wholesale release of
million workers as advocated by
Congressman Taber of New York,
sis ridiculous. By his act, Senator
LANCER won commentator from
some of his colleagues on the floor
of the senate and a letter of praise
from the White House.
Again, as chairman of the senate
civil service committee, the tall,
lanky North Dakotan took issue with
trust-busting Wendell Berge of the
department of justice when that
worthy appeared before the COM
mittee asking for an additional
100000 for additional personnel in
pursuing his trust busting activities.
Senator LANCER asked Berge how
many of the trust busters he had
thrown into jail as a result of his
Sherman antitrust suits.
None" said Berge, none in the
last generation, l guess"
And then the florid faced senator
"bleW up declaring that if a man
Stole a loaf of bread in this country
they put him in Jail, but if a group
of men conspire to raise the price
of bread, you just slap them on the
wrist. The law says they should go
to Jail" Then Berge explained that
it had been the policy of the anti
trust division not to seek Jail SEN
