Tito Calls For A Balkan Bloc To Keep Independent
UNDATED INTERNATIONAL By the Associated Press
 YUGOSLAVIA

Defiant Yugoslavia called today for Balkan bloc with Bulgaria and Albania and a stronger army to protect it's shadoWy indepen- dence.
 A few hours earlier, Yugoslav- ia's Communist leaders called the Kremlin-ruled Cominform criti- cism of Marshal Tito and his: Red cohorts ''lies" and islander"
 The Cominform assertions that the premier was conniving with the Western Powers, being hate full to Russia and a heretic to the Marx-Lenin dictum were termed absurd.
 The very hot potato was tossed with vigor right back into the lap of Russia, unaccustomed to such strange words of opposition from Communists either at home or abroad.
 Many diplomats expressed the view that if Tito gets away with his refusal to follow orders of the Cominform, other restive satellite states might decide that they too need not knuckle down any long CT.
 Tito remained elusive. He was variously reported in Bled, Bel grade, Austria and Moscow. Re- gardless of his defiance of Rus sia, there was no sign of any such

Truman Hints He Won't Run Again

WASHINGTON, (P-President Truman's post-election hint he is not going to run again has plowed the field for a new crop of Demo- cratic Presidential contenders.
 With four years in which to make record, two new Demo- cratic midWestern governors may give veteran party leaders a hot race for the 1852 nomination.
 They are Adlai E. Stevenson, who won a smashing victory in the politically important state of Illinois, and Frank J. Lausche, who takes over again in Ohio after two-year lapse while the Repub- licans were in control. Lausche had to buck the regular Demo- cratic state organization to get the nomination.
 Two other new Democratic gov ernors may be heard from around party convention time four years from now-Chester Bowles of Connecticut and Paul Dever of Massachusetts. But they aren't as we'll placed geographically as Ste venson and Lausche.

 Sgt. John Mock,~ WXLN an- nouncer and mediator for the de- bate announced that the debate was a contribution of the Nome Rotary Club to the community.
 John McNees, past president of Rotary, taking the affirmative sta,ed definite facts that Alaska was ready to assume its responsi- bilities, as it's maturity has been reached and it needs statehood as much as the U.' s. needs it as a State. He stated that self govern ment is always better than govern mental control from a great dis tance and the Alaska citizens are ready as government of, by and for, the people cannot be achieved without Statehood.
 He emphasized that Territorial powers granted Alaska can be taken away at any time and Con- gress can veto any legislative act of the Territory as matters now stand. He showed how 12 States in the Union had less population than we have and only thirteen had more, when admitted to the Union; and also pointed out that migration always follows state hood so increased population is to be expected; also that Territorial impotence is costly to Alaska to the amount of millions annually. He stated that forces opposed to statehood know that it will be achieved eventually but are delay
