Pressure OF New Orleans ano com
mission house selling forced cotton
futures down almost SIS a bale to-
day. Short covering in the final
few minutes of trading caused a
partial recovery and final prices
were S3.05 to S3.45 a bale under
the previous close.
Today's selling was influenced
by widespread price cutting in
other industries, more favorable
weather in the cotton belt, and
expectations of a decline in the
mid-April parity which will be
announced tomorrow.
Cotton textile buyers who have
been resisting current high prices
today reported an easing in values.

 Izvestia, the government organ, naming Denmark, Sweden and Nor way specifically, said Russia's agree ments with these countries were based upon mutual respect for the economies involved but that such was not the case in the British and American agreements.
 Commentator Constantin Hoff- man, writing in the trade union newspaper Trud, charged that un- der the protection of the British American economic merger in Ger many, industrial magnates and junker landlords were prospering. . He added that the plan of unifl- cation of Communists and Social Democrats was causing worry in the western zones.

RAIDERS WILL
 BE EQUIPPED WITH Ro(kEIS
Guided Missile Ships Strongly Armored. to
 Blast Cities, Bases

WASHINGTON, May 7.-iR The Navy formally announced to- day it is setting up special section to try to develop atomic powered warships.
 The announcement followed q statement by w. John Kenney. Assistant Secretary of the Navy, that future ships of the fleet may go into action so "buttoned up against atomic radiation that not man will be in sight
 At the same time there were signs that the Navy of the future will take the shape of force for blasting enemy cities and land bases rather than opposing fleets.
 Navy men say the battleship may vanish in favor of guided missile ship. strongly arnored for taking heavy punishment, which can move up to foreign coasts and pound inland cities and industrial centers with huge rock cts. The department already Is converting two large craft for firing guided missiles.
 Cruisers may bow out in favor of fast raiders which can lombard coastal installations with rockets. The carrier may give way to speedy interceptor ships bearing pilotless aircraft which can knock down enemy guided missiles aim ed at the United States.
 An "attack-killer' class, with terrific fire power and loaded with anti submarine devices, is expected to supercede today's destroyers.
 Submarines are expected to take on new functions in scouting. atom weapon launching and the carrying of cargo. The Navy ari- nounced last week plans to use undersea craft for cargo, troops and reconnaissance missions i'll Arctic waters.
 Kenney said the Navy will send a small force to the Arctic for weather observations this summer.

TWO TRACKS NEEDED FOR
 ALAIS|kA R.R.
Major General Arnold Gives Personal Opinion
 from Defense Angle

WASHINGTON, May 7.-R-- Major General w. H. Arnold, of the General Staff Plans and Oper- ation Division. told a House Ap- propriations Subcommittee during executive sessions he personally be- lieved the Alaska Railroad should have oouble tracks.
 Arnold, Deputy Director of the Division was testifying on the need for rehabilitation of the railroad. The committee approved a five year rehabilitation program to cost $34,000,0O0.
 Arnold said the railroads single track can handle Alaska traffic in peacetime, then added.
 "In wartime I have grave doubts, if that became a very large operat- ing base, that a single track could handle the situation"
 Later Rep. Stockman tR-Ore) asked Arnold if he believed the railroad should be double tracked. 
 That is my personal opinion, sir" Arnold replied. T said that in case of national emergency it would take a double track railroad to handle it.'
 The committee in its report to the House said Arnold declared the War Department was much con- cerned over the lack of roads and the critical condition of the AL aska Railroad.
 "The support of military bases in Alaska and the development of new sources of strategic raw materials are vital requirements of national defense" Arnold said. Both of these requirements depend upon the existence in Alaska of system of roads and railroads not only adequate for peace time use but capable of sustaining the increased traffic which an emergency would impose. It is the opinion of the War Department that the condi- tion of the Alaska Railroad and the deficiencies of the present road system jeopardize the mission of national defense"

BRITAIN NOT TO PAY DEBTS, FULL AM0UN!
Staggering Blow Is Struck Out 10 Nations-Musf
 Make Cuts

LONDON, May 7.-lR-Britain's bold declaration that it will not pay in full war-born debts totaling more than four billion pounds sterl-l ing is the first blow in a new tough financial policy, highly placed sources said today "
 Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton, the governments shrewd fiscal boss, delivered the punch last night. Today, the credit ors at whom it was aimed had not countered. i
 In dollars, Britains debt totals more than 16 billions. And the dol lar figure is important because the American loan with which Britain is trying to regain it's economic equilibrium caused Dalton to speak out. Under the loan terms, Britain must make some move toward debt settlement by July IS.
 In making the loan, the United States suggested that Britain get it's creditors to scale down their claims. The United States itself holds Britain to no war debt. That was all settled under lend-lease, and Dalton himself said that if other creditors had operated during the war on the Anglo American plan, Britain would not have the debt burden to wrestle with today.
 Observers said today that Dalton was not speaking merely for the benefit of South Americans. His punch was delivered at bigger cre- specially India and Egypt.

Chance for Pioneering In Alaska Excellent If,
 Win Many Ifs, Then Some
By ARTHUR EDISON

WASHINGTON. May 7.--lR- It's easy to be a pioneer. You can do it, in Alaska, right now
 All you need are: CD A know ledge of timbering, CD the low down on the woodpulp industry and (3) S28.000,000.
 The pioneer proposition came ur today at a meeting of the House Public Lands committee. It's con sidering a proposal to open Alaska lands to war veterans for home stealing.
 But those who testified today took dim view of the bill.
 Frank Heintzleman, government forester and an Alaskan for 29 years, said Alaska's basic industries are numbering and fishing
 He said fishing is pretty well taken care of. But it's his idea there are some splendid oppor- tunities for the right pioneer who knows how to produce woodpulp.
 And how much would this cost per pioneer?
 "Oh, around $28,Ooo.o0O," said HeintZleman.
 o. s. Aamodt of the Bureau of Plant Industry spent last summer studying Alaskan agriculture. He said he figures that of the 365 ,000,- coo acres in Alaska about 100000 are fit for farming
 But much of this land must be cleared" he said, and the cost of clearing is from $100 to $50 an acre"
 Well, pioneers! What are we waiting for?
