President on Right Track Regarding NorihIdnd
 Are Claims Made

WASHINGTON, May 22 lR - President Trumans plan to make Alaska strong partner" of the 48 States was welcomed in Congress today as a defense move against whatever aggressive action Russia may take
 While the President mentioned the need for Alaskan military de- velopment' only briefly that angle was the one stressed most heavily by members of Congress comments ing on his special message yesterday. Several of them added that the development program should have started long ago
 We must put Alaska in a posi- ton where we can defend it against whatever aggressive action Russia may take" said Rep. Crawford tR.- Mich.y "The President is on the right track this time. but we are ten years behind right now" MT. Truman urged statehood for l the 80-year-old Territory tat the earliest possible moment" but point ed out that other steps also are needed If Alaskans are to achieve steady and balanced industrial, ag- ricultural and community growth" Prog 1- m Outlined ! He asked Congress for speedy &C., i tion on the following subjects. l. Improvement of air, sea and land transportation.
 l 2. Federal aid for housing, health and community facilities. such as ] schools, hospitals and public utili- ties.
 l 3. Settlement of land claims by natives which have complicated property ownership.
 4. Encouraging new settlers. Truman noted with approval that the House Public Lands Committee had voted unanimously for an AL askan statehood measure. The bill, however, has been laid up by the Rules Committee.
 There was no mention in the Presidents message of Alaska's strategic position in relation to Rus sia. But other members of Con- gross, besides Crawford, read that between the lines.
 I'm delighted that President Truman now is awake to the fact that Alaska is our nearest neighbor to Russia said Senator Capehart tR.- -Ind.), who visited the Territory this year with other Senators.
 First Line of Defense
 Senator Morse tR.-Ore.) said the new program contains much of merit. I think the American people should realize, before it's too late, that Alaska is our first line of de- fense in the West"
 Chairman Butler (R.-Neb) of the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs also found much in the message which I heartily en- dorse" But he added:
 Coming at this late day, near the close of the session. suspect the message is closely akin to cam paign speech. Our committee has worked very hard to do everything possible to open Alaska for develop ment and will continue doing all We can to accomplish that objective"
 Senator Magnuson D.-Wash) called it "the first comprehensive message sent to Congress setting forth the legislative need for de- yeloping Alaska He said Congress has been very niggarly on funds for roads, health and other Alaskan needs"
 ! Senator Gordon, (R,-Ore1, said: l"Im glad the President finally found there is an Alaska

BARTHOLOMEW BACK FROM EUROPE VISIT; |IS NOW IN JUNEAU

Ralph A. Bartholomew, who re- gently returned from Germany and Austria where he had accom- panied the Friendnsip Train i, throughout the distribution of the supplies from Alaska's Christmas Ship, reports that the German peo- pie are still slightly skeptical as to the purpose of our good will but were more friendly than was ex- pected.
 Bartholomew who is now in Ju- neau, stated that as far as re- conversion of factories were con- cerned in the American, British and French zones it is just now getting underway as the Russians have stripped most of the larger factories of all equipment, and in one large power plant in Berlin, which is in the Russian zone, only few wires are left. Formerly the power plant had eight large turbines.
 He also stated that commit tee of five from all over Alaska had practically covered all of the U. S., British and French zones with the Friendship Train and also Vienna and Salzburg in Austria.
 The train was divided into three different sections with the first part going to Dusseldorf in the British zone, Cologne and Minez in the French zone. and Frank furt in the American zone. The second train went to Berlin only, which is in the Russian zone, and he said while he was in Berlin 1t was during the time that Marshal Sokoloysky walked out on the Quadri. Patite Conference, which was the main cause of the recent trouble in that section.
 The third section of the train went to Vienna and Salzburg, the later city being the former home of the great artist Mozart and now the home of the great musical comedy composer, Franz Lerhar.
 Bartholomew said conditions in Europe were worse than anticipat- ed and that houseing was very difficult due to the extensive bomb ing during the war. People are extremely short of the small com- modities such as soap, combs and other small necessary articles Of everyday living, and the larger commodities are only a dream for some sections, said Bartholomew.
 He said every inch of tillable land is being cultivated and ev- erything obtainable is being plant ed However, the farmers are very short of fertilizer and draft ani- mals.
 On the return trip they visited Geneva, Switzerland and attended the World Church Conference, and then to England, where he visited the former home of his parents in Lincolnshire.
 Bartholomew said the spirit of the people is high in the liberat- ed countries, but Germany is still in the category of defeated coun- try and the manufacturing indus try is just beginning to get under way, especially in textiles. Electri- cal equipment factories are com pletely stripped and there isn't enough equipment left in others to think of starting production fol sometime.

sociation at Denver knowing de.
cision would be reached as to the
best way of dealing with the rus.
tiers operating in his territory.
"You know why we are here, gen.
tlemen," Ellison began. ut is very
| important that what we say should
be and should remain secret. Well
hear from Doctor Porter first"
Doctor Porter had been an army
surgeon during the Civil War, and
later had moved West and gone into
the cattle business.
Briefly Doctor Porter outlined
what was planned. A list Of more
than a hundred names of rustlers
had been submitted by their field
detectives and by individual ranch
men. He proposed that before the
meeting adjourned this list be gone
over name by name and voted on
by such of the men here as knew
the rustlers.
"All this has been talked over
with each of you Individually" Por-
ter explained. cat the present time
Sunday Brown, whom some of you
know, famous deputy United
States marshal from the Indian Ter
ritory, is busy enlisting about sixty
fighting men in Texas and Arizona.
He is choosing tried men, all of
them officers who have fought as
marshals or sheriffs against despe-
radoes. In the course of two or
three weeks Brown and his men
will reach this city. From here they
will be sent by special train to the
scene of action. In addition to
these, there will probably be fifty
cattlemen and their friends in our
party Our intention is to move fast
and secretly, so that nobody will
know what we are about until too
late to stop us. We expect to meet
no organized opposition. The rus
tiers whom we trap will fight if they
get chance, but that is to be an
ticipated If everything goes well
we ought to be able to sweep through
the country. wipe out scores OF rus
tiers, and get back to the railroad
with our identities unknown.
A big wide hated stockman
named Kinnear took the floor.
Fine" he said, IF everything
goes right" His gaze swept the
room leisurely. But hell, boys,
chances are you can't pull it off.
Don't get me wrong. I'm with you
till the cows come home. Still, a
hundred armed men on horseback
can't go galumphing through the
country without plenty of people get
ing wise to it."
Terry was of the same opinion.
