GOVERNOR GRUENNG PROTESTS HIGH AIR RATES
 IN ALASKA TRAVEL

Governor Ernest Gruenlng, m a letter to James M. Landls5 Chair man Of the Civil Aeronautlcs board In Washington, b. C., lodged a protest on InaueQuacy Of ar sefE- ice between the states ana AlasAd and also protested the rates as De- ing too hIgn. The Governor said n hIs letter:
 Let Us contrast the rates De- tween Seattle and Alaskan polnts with other rates rom SeaItIe eo points in tue Unted Saes. The prIce of a fngnl from seattle 50 hetcnl- kan, a distance or oo6 air miles l4 S60 one way and 4IOo round Lr-p5 rom Seattle to Juneau, a distance of 9l3 miles, the one way fare !s S75 and the round trip Is S135. This makes the one way cost from Seattle to ketchikan .0915 per mile and the round trip cost .O6z5 per mile. In the case oI Seattle to Juneau this works out at a cost ot .0SZ1 one way and .O7595 for the round trip.
 h sontrast with comparable flights and comparable distances soWhward from Seattle, namely from Seattle to San Francisco, d distance of 6S7 miles, the one way fare is S29.l5 and the round trip S5S.30, or cost per mile of .O424 one way and .04245 for the found trip.
 Likewise, from Seattle to Los Angeles, distance of I,014 mil4s, the passenger fare is $44.3O one way and SSS.60 for the round trip. or a coa per mile of .0437, botn

one way and round trip ..
 Other comparisons are equal ly unfavorable to Alaska. From Seattle to Fairbanks. a distance of 1 56S miles, the fare is s130 one way and S2S4 for the round trip, cost per mile of .0S29 one way and .O746 for the round trip. From New York City to Denver, a dis tance Of 1.633 miels, the one way fare is S74.1O and the round trip S14S.2O. cost per mile 0i .O454. Thus. on the Seattle-F Fairbanks run. Alaskans are charged 164E in excess of what is being charged for comparable distances in the United Statees.
 "The same is true of the rate to Nome. a distance from Seattle of 2.O92 miles. where the rate is sl70 one way and S306 for the round trip or a mileage cost of .0S13 one way and .07315 for the round srip.
 Lest it be asserted in justifiea- ton that 5 has been customary tO charge more for so-ealled lover : seas" flights than for domestic flights, first let me urge shat it is high time to scrap the overseas category for Alaska. a part of the continent. Second, let me point put tha1 the rate from New York City to Puerto Rico, which is all over seas' and literally so, a distance of 1.61Z miles, is $l30 one way and S234 for the round trip by Pan American Airways. Eastern Air lines. however, makes the sam= trip at a lower rate of S104.90 ale way and S2O9.SO for the round tirp. These rates, however. a. nos tell the whole story since they ara for one year tickets whereas mos. of the PA trips between New York and Puerto Rico are cos-red by 45 day limit tickets al $I35 Tor the round trip of .04lS per mlle. Thus, the comparable rate Tor SeattIe-Fairbanks shows that Alas kans pay 17STo more than passen- geers on the New York to Puerto Rico route.
 Under the circustances, it seems 10 me that a drastic revision # rates downward is desirable"

Marine Use Forecast
Addressing the National Oil and

somewhat later.

enough fuel to go several times

Johnson also revealed a 100000

Slow Going on Trieste

Delegates from the United States,
Russia, Britain, France and China
have been meeting informally at
Lake Success for several weeks in
vain attempt to reach agreement on
a governor for Trieste.
Under terms of the Italian peace
treaty, Trieste will be under super
vision of the Security Council on rat
ification of the pact.
Last week the us. indicated it had
no immediate plans to submit any
more candidates for governor. follow
ing Soviet rejection of previous list.
Deputy Delegate Herschel V. john
son was anxious to get the matter
settled but he was said to be con-
vinced it would be useless to keep
submitting names for the Russians to
turn down.
The Security Council itself even-
tually must name the governor, but
the Big Powers have been seeking
agreement among themselves to
smooth the way. Unless they can get
together soon, indications are that the
whole matter will have to be handed
back to the council.

The Wallace Controversy

iHc NQiiOCG controversy
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, wartime
commander of the WACS, asserted
during the week that Henry A. Wal
lace is planting seeds of discord in an
attempt to destroy this country's an
nounced foreign policy.
Addressing Boston convention of
the Advertising Federation of Amer
lea, Mrs. Hobby, executive vice presi-
dent of the Houston, Tex, Post de-
clared that Americans are sitting
fearfully at home behind the strong
line of Gen. Marshall's diplomacy
as far behind as we can shrink
Shall we stick our heads into
Henry Wallace's sands, or shall we
take our leadership manfully?" she
asked.
Meanwhile in Vancouver on a west
coast speaking tour, Wallace said he
was convinced that two-thirds of the
American people are opposed to the
Truman foreign policy.
Russia stands ready to sweep over
all of Europe in case We drop atomic
bombs on Russian cities, he declared.
In Portland, Ore, Wallace advocat-
ed Observation-Disclosures of the Panama
Canal and other strategic areas which,
he said, were vital to world peace
He also asserted the Dardanelles and
the Suez Canal should be freed from
control by any one nation.
In Moscow, the Soviet press devot-
ed long accounts to the Wallace west
coast speeches. They were printed
without editorial comment.

Fission and Fusion

If scientists could fuse atomic
nuclei as well as split them, the world
would really have something to worry
about.
Dean Samuel Colville Lind of the
University of Minnesota Institute of
Technology, says atomic fusion, the
reverse of atomic fission, would pro-
duce 10 times the power obtained by
splitting uranium.
A fusion type chain reaction, which
is not even remotely possible yet, he
asserted this week, would free so

Atomic fusion, he said, would have
to be accomplished by uniting small
atoms, involving lighter, more album

neering manager of the General Elec-
trio Co., declared that predictions for
the future of atomic power have been

Federal Rights Involved?

Attorney General Tom Clark said
he might ask the Supreme Court to
rule on whether the federal govern
ment has right to intervene in the
"outrage in South Carolina where a
jury turned loose admitted lynchers" :"
Clark said he would go over FBI
reports of the Greenville case and if
the facts warrant he might attempt to
have the nations highest court hold
that where a body of citizens deprives
a person of civil rights, it is de-
priving him of a federally-secured
right.
Present legal interpretations, he
said. prevent the federal government
from intervening in the Greenville

TAXES: T-Men Hit the Trail

The firm, Snyder said, amassed
bulging bank accounts under secret
names as a result of black market op-
erations, short weighing customers
and falsifying tax returns.
Odd instances in which would-be
tax evaders gave themselves away
were related by Snyder.
A man appealed to his local police
to help find the owner of carton
full of currency which appeared mys-
teriouSly in the mans cellar. Investi-
cation indicates that the man owned
the money himself and was only try

Britain
Rebuff to Communism

Britain's ruling Labor Party re-
buffed pro-communist elements with
in its ranks and scaled down criticism
of Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin's
close-to- -the-United States foreign
policy at its annual policy-making
conference in Margate.
With Prime Minister Clement Att
lee and nearly all his cabinet in at
tendance, the party conference backed
its government leaders four-to-one in
vote favoring peacetime conscrip-
ton to bolster the nations foreign
policy.
The conference also thumbed down
a move to permit Laborites to join
the British-Soviet Society. Opponents
charged the society was dominated
by Communists.
The conference also eliminated 19
resolutions, Is of them critical of
Bevin, and substituted on the agenda
two composite resolutions, the most
critical of which condemned British
policy in Greece.
