EMERGENCY IN ALASKA
 NOT SEVERE
Economy Damaged But Ex- fra Demand for Plane
 Cargo 0veresiimdted

!. SEATTLE, Sept. 30. R-- The amaritime strike has damaged the economy of Alaska but has not yet icreated the expected extra demand sfor plane cargo space, airline off scials said today.
 Leaders of aviation firms serving Hthe Territory. hoth on scheduled and non-scheduled flights, said the emergency nature of the pres lent air lift has been greatly overemphasized."
 "To the best of our knowledge, there is no critical emergency or shortage of necessities in Alaska, " ID. E. McMorran, Pan American World Airways traffic manager, said.
 Although the amount of cargo increase is above normal level, we estimate only Is percent in crease in the volume of food car ried in September. Our cargo is normally 50 percent food and the past month it increased to 65 per- cent"
 No Large Shipments
 Henry Frances, regional manager of Mount Mckinley Airways, one of the largest non scheduled car riers north, said.
 We have not had any requests for large shipments of food. Freight volume is increasing, yes, but so far we have not had to schedule any extra sections"
 Under present arrangements, scheduled and non- scheduled car- riers probably can lift l,500,00o pounds of air freight month Ap- proximately 100000 pounds were carried during September.
 Many airline officials rapped the Civil Aeronautics Board tor announcing an exemption order for irregular carriers to meet the emergency" in Alaska.
 No Emergency
 There is no emergency in most cities in the Territory" declared one official, and there won't be for many weeks in many towns and many months in others"
 Much of the air-freight business to Alaska now consists of machin- cry and parts, mail-order goods, dry goods and beverages.
 Arthur G. Woodley, president of Pacific Northern Airlines, said his firm has not yet had calls for more space than could be supplied quickly.
 Charter Small Boats
 Some produce firms are chart ering small boats to carry cargo while others are con- tinuing use of air freight as they have the past several years.
 Suppliers pointed out the relief ship Square Sinnet will be far less than half loaded when it sails for Nome and other Norton Sound ports tonight.
 James Wooten. president of AL aska Airlines, said the Civil Aero nautics Board has ordered his com- pany to charge the same price for passengers to Alaska as do the certified carriers. The firm has been quoting lower fares than the scheduled air lines.
 With the air lift and barge service, Alaska can get by for from two to three months" Wooten said.

NAvY's oNE-MAN LOBBY

The Navy has an unofficial press agent on it's payroll who bombards editors and Congressmen with let ters, telling the Navy's side in its feud with the Air Force.
 He is Hugh L. Hanson. $9,000-a- year engineer for the Navy's Bur- eau of Aeronautics. Allegedly as a private citizen" he writes what tie Navy would dare not say off cially.
 This one-man letter lobby, if 1t doesn't actually violate the lobby ing act, certainly is contrary to Secretary of Defense James For restaps directive against pickering among the services. Yet Forrestal instead of rebuking Hanson. has been conferring with him in pri- vate.
 Hanson claims he composes the letters in his spare time, as sort of a hobby" Yet the letters are filled with technical information that obviously requires on-the- job research. They are also turned out on a such a mass scale that it would take considerable spare time" In subject matter, the -------------

 WASHINGTON- Ms. Eleanor Roosevelt has indicated to friends she will not be speaking in SUD- port of President Trumans re- election.
 This is going to be a big dis appointment to Mir. Truman. For, way back when the United Na- tions was first founded and he de- cided to appoint Mrs. Roosevelt as a delegate, he had in mind getting support for his reelection. At lease, he told Jimmie Byrnes, then Secretary of State, that he hoped this would keep the Roosevelt fam fly in his camp.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, however, has told friends that she will remain in Europe at the United Nations Gen. eral Assembly until around Decem- Der l, will take no part in the election campaign.
 Note-Mrs. Roosevelt was private ly opposed to Truman's nomina- ton.

said today that what we want

mates blocking peace, rather
than futile general discussions.
Ruling out any effort to reach an
overall settlement with the Rus
slams through direct two-nation
discussions, Gen. Marshall pointed
to the United Nations and other es-
tablished agencies as fields where
action toward accord is possible il
Russia desires it.
The Secretary told news confer
ence that he had nothing in mind
at present in the way Of any move
to carry forward with Moscow a
diplomatic exchange which raised
apparently false hopes around the
world for an early settlement OF
differences between the two major
powers.
But he declared that. of course
the United States would be prepared
to go ahead with other interested
nations if the Soviet government
should come forward with specific
proposals for discussion.
