 He said Musick came to his jail cell and told him:
 We, have found the dynamite re- ceipt. We've got the goods on you If you plead guilty you'll get life, and be free while you're still young man. If you don't you'll be dead and your attorneys will be riding around in new cars.

WASHINGTON, Sept 18.-lPl-- Senator Flanders CR-VD declared today that if industry as a whole copies the "appeasement" of John L. Lewis by coal and steel men, the government will be forced to step in" with controls over wages, prices and profits.
 The New England manufacturer and lawmaker said there was an "ominous parallel between the Munich pact with the Nazis' and the contract which the United Mine Workers won from northern mine owners and the U. s. Steel Corporation.
 In each case. he asserted ill an address prepared for the second economic institute of the United States Chamber of Commerce, peace has been purchased, but at too high a price to be repeated
 Flanders, who heads one of three Senate House subcommittees in- vestigating high prices in various sections of the country, said that those business men who now are charging what the market will bear" are building up a threat of losses and bankruptcy in the fu- ture 2

Whole General Internd. tionaI Situation Brings
 Radioed Orders

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. = R- This country's new unified defense machinery went into operation abruptly today on radioed orders from President Truman.
 The instructions sent by the Presi- dent from the battleship bearing him homeward from the Rio de Janeiro Conference on Western Hemisphere Security came as surprise to many top-rank officials.
 MT. Truman himself said his de- cision to have James Forrestal sworn in as Secretary of Defense yester- day instead of awaiting the Chief Executives return, as originally planned, was because of the inter national situation.
 This word, arriving late in the day, contrasted with an earlier ex- planation issued by the Navy It said that prior to MT. Truman's de- parture for Brazil it had been de- cided Forrestal would be sworn in about September 15 "or after the Presidents return, unless all pre- liminary arrangements had been completed earlier
 Presidential Press Seer tary Charles G. Ross said the Chief Ex- ecutive was thinking only of "the whole general international situa- tion."
 That general situation includes such problems as diplomatic argu- ments with Russia in the United Nations, conflicting interests be- tween the Soviet Union and the western powers in the Balkans and elsewhere, this country's reiterated pledge to aid democracies in resist ing Communist aggression and the United States sharply depleted military strength.

By CHARLES D. WATKINS


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-R- Senator Capehart CR-Ind) said today he intends to introduce leg islation to amend the Jones Act, and thereby permit foreign yes sels to engage in intercoastal trade in Alaska.
 Back from Investigating Alaskan prospects for newsprint produc- tion and from holding hearings on proposed airports at Anchor age and Fairbanks, Capehart told a reporter:
 T am in favor of doing all we can to help American shipping, but not at the expense of the American people.
 The present steamship service to Alaska is poor and if it is not improved the government should provide the service required.
 If private interests won't give the needed service, the govern ment should"
 The Jones Act prohibits foreign vessels from engaging in inter- coastal trade between American ports and it's repeal would enable Canadian vessels to furnish ser vice between Alaskan ports.
 Big, Wide, Deep, High
 Capehart said he was astonish- ed at the immensity of Alaska.
 Tt is big, wide, deep and high,' the Senator said.
 T think the government should build roads to Alaska, even if they go through Canada.
 "It, can be done, and the Terri tory is e.ltitled to an adequate transportation system
 iThe Senator said he favored statehood for the Territory and as- serted the people of the Territory want it, but that vested inter- ests" oppose He said is should be granted from the standpoint of national interest. T think it is high time we do what should have been done long ago." Capehart said.
 All of the resources of the Territory have been taken out Of Alaska and nothing returned.

lAWMILL HOPES FLYING SAWDU5T
 WILL STOP SOON
New Equipment Is Flown from States 10 Combat Re-
 suIts of Increased Output

Juneau's flying sawdust problem will be answered in a few days if promised efforts of the Juneau Spruce Corporation are successful. E. S. Hawkins, manager, said that the company has made special effort to prevent future occurrences of the flying sawdust which have proved bothersome to Juneau resi- dents.
 A new additional screen for the mills sawdust burner arrived here this week and will be installed on Sunday. The new screen was brought in by airplane at con- siderable expense, Hawkins said, in order to stop the situation as soon as possible.
 The flying sawdust has heen of discomfort to many, and Hawkins stated that if the new screen does not answer the problem, he will take other measures to combat the sawdust
 Cause of the flying sawdust is directly due to the recent addition Iof a night shift at the sawmill. He explained that the increased production of the second crew leaves more waste than can norm- ally be consumed by the mills boilers. The extra accumulated waste must be burned in sawdust burner outside and this is what creates the flying sawdust. A large screen covers the top of the burner to prevent sawdust from escaping but because of the large amount to be burned, the one screen does not do satisfac- tory job and for that reason the new screen will be. added in the hopes of cutting down the amount of sawdust which escapes.
 The sawdust is forced out of the burner by the strong draft ere ated by the high temperature of the flames. This applies to only small percentage of the total amount consumed by the burner but is nevertheless a sufficient , amount to prove bothersome..
