Will Return POW By End Of l948

MOSCOW Pp-Britain proposed tonight to the Soviet Union, France and the United States that all pris- oners of war be returned to Ger many by the end of l948.
 This action was disclosed as the foreign ministers council decided to come to grips Monday with the key questions of German econo- mic, military and political prob lemS, in line with secretary of state MarShalls plan to complete dis cuSsion of these matters by We'd nesday night.
 The British recommended that France, Russia, Britain and the United States furnish to the Allied control council for Germany not later than June l, 1947. their plans for repatriation of prisoners, in cluding provisions whereby such iSPoIi lottOii "ouiu DS SOlllplSlcu by Dec. 3l, 1948."
 Russia holds more prisoners than any of the other nations.
 An authorized source, mean while, said talks were taking place between Soviet and British off, cialS concerning revison of the British-Soviet alliance, but that no concrete developments were ex- pected for some time. The discus Sions grew out of the talk last Monday between British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin and prime minister Stalin.
 In a one-hour session, the short est of this conference thus far, the ministers agreed on a schedule for the German discussions and set up

Truman Asks For Extension Of War Export Controls

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman has asked Congress to extend the governments controls over exports for a year beyond their present expiration date, June 30.
 He said in message requesting speedy action that an uncontrolled outflow of foodstuffs and goods would heighten domestic shortages and increase the "already sub stantial burden of living costs borne by the American people"
 About 800 itemS-moStly foods remain under export control com pared with some 5000 at the war time peak, he said, adding: "I look forward to the day when the United States and other countries can remove these interferences to the free flow of commodities in world trade.
 But the danger of immediate and complete decontrol in the face of continuing domestic and world scarcities is too great for this na- ton to undertake at this time"
 Delay by Congress would prove unsettling to business and would handicap the planning and execu- ton of our food and other export programs" MT. Truman said in asking the Senate and House to act well in advance" of the mid year deadline.

DEVELOPMENT BOARD ISSUED NEW FUR FARMING PAMPHLET

"Fur Farming Opportunities in Alaska" is the title of new pam phlet issued this week by the Alaska Development Board at Jun eau. The publication is edited by Richard F. German, editor of The Fur Journal, and contains articles on various phases of the fur farm ing business by Michael Dederer, Jesse Ames, Mrs. M. Everett, Err nest Anderes and Dr. C. K. Gum.
 Very substantial opportunities exist for expanding fur farming in Alaska, according to the pamphlet which points out that the Terri tory today has only about 75 fur farms as compared with l,500 in the State of Wisconsin alone Alas ka produces an estimated two per cent of the total ranched fur crop of the United States.
 The new pamphlet of the Devel- opment Board contains general in formation on fur farming, hints for beginners, advice on market points and separate articles on fur farming in Southeast Alaska, the Anchorage area and the Ketchikan district.
 George Sundborg, general man. ager of the Alaska Development Board, states that the new infor- nation pamphlet was published in response to hundreds of inquiries received from all parts of Alaska and the United States.

ChilkOOt Barracks Will Welcome Tourists

 new planned community" a Chilkoot Barracks will have tho 1 welcome sign out for tourists a: well as for war veteran settlers.
 The Alaska Cooperative com. pany bought for S105,0O0 the towr it values at $l,O00,OOO, and expects 100 families to install themselves there by early summer.
 ChilkOot, an army post since 1898, consists of 70 buildings most of them barracks-and water sewage and electric power systems declared surplus year ago. Yes terday the bureau of land man agement sold it to the cooperative for down payment of $20,500.
 Already 25 members of the CO., operative are at Chilkoot, repair ing leaky roofs, cleaning up the hospital and fire-fighting equip ment, and converting the barracks into family-size apartments, says Steve Larson Homer, one of the directors.
 Seventy-five others will go north this spring most of them piling their household goods and families into trucks and cars as did the earlier party.
 Chilkoot is on the Haines Cutoff, which links with the Alaska High way across Canada to the United States northwest of Juneau.
 Although the community pur- chase was on cooperative basis, through the purchase of $lO0 in stock share by each member, the settlers will engage in private en- terprise as in a normal community. They will share in low-cost food purchases through a cooperative store.
 We have facilities for 100 fam lilies without putting in nail, but the town will support many more than that number, and we have many more applications than we can handle" Homer told a report CT. Our first job will be to get settled, and our second will be to incorporate as city and to estab7 fish local government.
 "Then we'll start out on our sep arate ventures. The fishing and hunting in that part of Alaska is wonderful, and we are counting upon tourists-and that includes seasonal laborers on their way to and from their Alaskan jobs-as our No. 1 source of revenue.
 "We hope this will be only the first of several planned communi- ties to help Alaska develop its tre- mendous resources"
 Cooperative members who al- ready have moved to Chilkoot, Homer said, include MT. and Mrs. Martin A. Cordes of Kodiak.
 About 75 per cent of the colon ists are World War II veterans. Applications for membership, Ho- mer said, have been received from 46 states, and from Americans in

Can't Stand Cost Of Statehood

Truman Glad Of Traffic Death Fall

WASHINGTON. R-President Truman today applauded Sharp and gratifying decline" in the na- tion's traffic casualties but called on highway users and officials to reduce still further the "appall- ing" annual toll.
 We have won major victory in the campaign against careless ness," said MT. Truman. in an ad- dress delivered at the opening ses- sion of his second highway safety conference.
 Noting that at least $500 lives were saved last year as measured against 'the black record" of pre- war l941, when 10000 fatalities occurred, MT. Truman declared the safety campaign is well start ed, but it is by no means done."
 Men, women and children died last year as result of highway accidents, and well over 100000 were injured" he said. "That is 8 tribute to inefficiency this nation cannot afford to pay"
