Warning Given by Indus fdidI Leaders Regdrd-
 ing Nation s0ufIook
By H. c. JOHNSON

NEW YORK, Dec. ?. -tR-The nations industrial leaders were warned today that government spending and control of economy may bring unemployment, insol- vency, socialism and even insur- rection to the United. States.
 Two businessmen told the 53rd annual Congress of American h. dustry. sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers, that what they termed Federal interfer- ence in the national economy had left the country deep in political uncertainty.
 At the same session of the NAM s first national assembly since the Democratic election victory last month, Rep. Brown CR-Ohio) hint ed that the Post Office Depart ment is one of the chief targets of the bipartisan commission now studying government reorganiza- ton.
 The three-day NAM meeting ends tomorrow night when Secretary of Commerce Sawyer will speak.
 Lane D. Webber, Los Angeles utility official. said at this morn ing's session that continued Fed eral spending on the present scale, mot to mention proposed increases, will surely produce insolvency. de. struction of private enterprise, con- fusion and rrection-resulting in some form of socialism"
 If only the people could know our country is infested with size able elements who strive to degrade us into socialism by government spending, taxation and inflation- the inseparable trinity of tragedy, ? said Webber, who is vice presider< of the Southern California Edison Company.
 Joseph Morrel Dodge of Detroit, former president of the American Bankers Association, said that be- cause of increased government con- trol over the American economy, the country is plagued by short age of risk, capital
 Risk capital is lacking, Dodge said, because of a declining sav- ings rate, an artiffcally low inter est rate and the absence of new equity capital.

Wdnfs 10 Arrange Dates with President, Marshall
 About Aid for China

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.lR- Madame Chiang Kai-shek has ask ed for appointments with Presi- dent Truman and Secretary of State Marshall to press for urgent American aid to the Chinese gov ernment in it's fight against Chi nese Communists.
 Diplomatic authorities said that the appointments have not been made, but presumably will be ar ranged within day or so. It is understood that she also wants to call on Mrs. Truman. |.
 Madame Chiang, wife of China s Nationalist President, arrived here yesterday by plane from Shang- hai. She still is visiting at the home of Secretary and Mrs. Mar shall at nearby Leesburg, Va.
 Marshall still is in the Army's Walter Reed Hospital here under going what his associates called a physical examination. His friends reported the tests may be complet- cd in time for him to spend the weekend at his Leesburg home.
 Authorities said there is no doubt here that the situation created by Communist advances in China is critical. But they said these two factors work against any speedy American action:
 l. which must auth orize any additional aid-will not meet Tor another month.
 2. Military and political condi- tions in China are considered so unstable that officials believe any program worked out now probably would not apply a month from now.
 There are no indications that either the Economic Cooperation or the State De- partment has yet presented Presi- dent Truman specific plans for Chiang Kai-shek's Nation alists in their battle with the Chi nese Reds.
 President Truman said today he will confer with Madame Chiang Kai-shek at any time she wants to see him.

ketdhikan Delegation Attempts
 To Get Reversal of Order for {. C. Headquarters af Juneau

i WASHINGTON, Dec, 2.--R-- !; Robert Jernberg, one of Ketchi- kan's three-man delegation to pro
 test the establishment of Alaska Coast Guard headquarters at Ju-
 neau, said today the delegation will
 continue efforts to have the order i set aside.
 The establishment of the AL ; aska District, abandoned during 1 day by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder.
 The announcement sad Juneau
 had been selected as it's headquart- CTS because it was the seat of Territorial government and because most Federal agencies were cen tered there.
 But" said Jernberg, from the standpoint oi economy, the head quarters should be in Ketchikan, which was the headquarters from 1910 until the summer. of 1947. The Coast Guard already has there all of the buildings it will need and to transfer them to Juneau will just cost the taxpayers more money.
 Capt A. c. Richmond of the Coast Guard informed a Congress icnal committee some months ago that current defense plans call for the Coast Guard in an emergency to take over protection of port and harbor facilities, operate anti submarine patrols, and so on.
 The Army and Navy both have maintained strong establishments in Alaska reflecting their view that Alaska is one of the nations front lines of defense" and would be focal point in the event of a war
 The Army has made increasing use of Alaska in recent times as training and maneuvers area, and has obtained large appropria- tions for building permanent in- stallations for troops and ammuni- tion.
 Coast Guard officers said IT officers and 32 enlisted men will be sent to Juneau to make up the district headquarters staff.
 Operations forces will remain about as they were when Alaska was part of the Seattle district.
 The operations forces, which have base at Ketchikan. provide aids to navigation, maintain buoys, lighthouse, and weather ships. There is also an air detachment which undertakes search and res cue missions.
 Governor Gruening, Delegate Bartlett and other Alaska officials have long sought separate Coast Guard district m Alaska as help to the Territory's peace-time econ- tmy. i
 They have stressed that Alaska has 25,o00-mile coast line. Not

CRISIS IN BERLIN IS

Communist Possession of Government Makes
 Situation Intense
(By The Associated Press)


 In Berlin, Col Frank Howley, the U. S. Sector Ccmmandant, said to- i day the Russians have broken SC many agreements he doubts whether it is wise to try and reach another accord in the continuing German crisis He said the Communists who set up trump city government in the Russian sector to replace the ! elected Berlin regime are "crimi- nals."
 Howley said the Communists acted with full Russian accord and this was just one more step in the l long line of broken agreements over the last two years. A high State Department official in Washington said the creation of a separate Communist government in Berlin-by a show of hands rath- CT than by ballots-made a solu- ton more difficult, if not impossible Neutral financial experts were in- structed cy the six neutral" pow CTS of the U. N. Security Council to draft Berlin currency regulations acceptable to all four occupation powers this month. A French off cial said, however. something new will be needed to end the crisis now that the Communists, at Russian bidding, have divided the city en- ,tirely
 The currency issue was raised ty the Russians as an issue after they blockaded Berlin in June. Actually they are trying to chase the U. s., Britain and France from Berlin. and fdisrupt western plans for united government in western Germany.

 Marshall and Forrestal agree on many things, usually are to be found side-by-side during inner Cabinet debates. But on the ques- tion of a huge war budget, Marshall has put himself vigorously on rec ord against Forrestals proposed war expenditures.
 In his letter, the Secretary of State described Forrestal's demand of a SPA billion expenditure as hasically dishonest since it pre-sup- posed the imminence of war. And
