Greece To Make COstIier Boxes To Create Jobs

ATHENS, (H) - The American Mission has pushed a program to revive l2 out of 22 idle box -mak- ing industries. Hopes are that they will be able to produce boxes in which to pack sulanas and cur rants for export to Great Britain in time for the Christmas season.
 Greece has available for export 60,000 tons of entrants and 10000 l5,000 tons of sultanas. Approxim- ately l,900,000 boxes are needed now and 2,900,OO0 for later distri- button, says Philip F. Mcguire of South Plainfield, N. J., director of AMAG commerce and supply di- vision.
 Importing boxes from Norway and Sweden is cheaper than i'm porting lumber and manufacturing here, Maquire says, However, the factories will import lumber and will temporarily operate lat slight losses in order to increase Greek employment"

PIONEERS TAKING UP COLLECTION FOR HOME

We observe, that following their annual custom of remembering the inmates of the Pioneers Home at Christmas, the local organiza- tion, Igloo No. of Nome, has ap- pointed a committee to take up the annual Christmas collection for those old timers who have found it necessary to spend their declin- ing years in that institution.
 The people of Nome have al ways generously responded to this worthy cause, and with the excep- tion of Juneau, Nome has always headed the list of all other towns in Alaska in it's contribution. No doubt it will do likewise this year.

MORE FACILITIES
 REQUIRED FOR
 ALA5kA DEFENSE
Anchorage Attorney Claims Railroad Shaky,
 Airfields Inadequate

SEATTLE, Feb. 6.--Alaska now is first line of defense in name only" Clyde R. Ellis, Anchorage at tcrney and member of the Ameri- can Legion's national defense com mittee, told interviewers here af- ter he attended a meeting of the committee in Washington, D. c.
 The Alaska Railroad, which is vital to the defense of the Terri tory, is in a bad state of repair" ," Ellis said. Highways and port facilities are wholly inadequate for it's defense, and a pipeline from the coast to the interior of Alaska is sorely needed. And the merchant marine is entirely inadequate to transport personnel and supplies for the defense of the Territory
 Ellis said the Legion committee adopted a resolution demanding that the government improve and maintain adequate railroads, high ways, port facilities and the mer- chant marine, and that a pipeline be constructed It also urged con- struction of adequate airfields' in Alaska as government projects without matching funds by Alaska communities.
 Right at Anchorage Ellis said, we have an example of how badly civil aviation needs Federal aid. Commercial airlinas have been land ing at Elmendorf Field, the Army Base, but the Army wants them to discontinue use of the field, but Anchorage's civil field is wholly in adequate for use by such planes" '"
 Ellis said an adequate airport would cost $lO,000,Oo0, and that Anchorage was unable to provide matching funds. Because civil av- iation occupies an important posi- tion in national defense he added, i've feel that the government should finance the building of such fields"

PRESIDENT SEEKS LEGISLATION ON
 SUCCESSION LINE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Presi- dent Truman has asked Congress for legislation which would place Republican Speaker Joe Martin first in line of succession to the Presi- dency.
 The President, in letter to Martin, and Senator Vandenberg -Mich), President Pro-tem of the Senate, renewed his appeal for a change in the traditional line of succession.
 Secretary of State George C.. Marshall currently would advance to the White House if a vacancy should occur prior to the 1e48 cleo tions.
 MT. Truman's first proposal that the Speaker of the House be put n line after the Vice President was made shortly after he succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 It was directed to Congress controlled by his own Democratic party and would have made form r Speaker Sam Rayburn Presi- dent in the event of his own in capacitation.
 MT. Truman wrote:
 T said then, and I repeat now, that in a democracy the President hould not have the power to nom- mate his immediate successor"

Tangier was the oldest "free city"

not be very great"
Admiral Louis E. Denfeld. United

Just finished defense conferences

Though no official statement has
been issued on any discussions on
the future of Manus, the inform

understanding had been reached.
A government spokesman said to-
day that Admiral Denfeld was deal

fense on service level" He added
that the Australian government in
tended to go ahead with plans for
a naval base on Manus on the as
sumption that 1t would be granted
a United Nations trusteeship over
the island.
Admiral Denfeld's conferences
were the first round of a series
scheduled by the Australian cabinet,
which next month will meet with
