RICHARDSON HIGHWAY NOT OPEN; FAIRBANKS
 E STILL ACCESSIBLE

Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, today issued a clarifying statement. on road conditions between Valdez and Fairbanks. Two statements have been made this week, he said, which were only partially correct and may have confused the issue.
 Taylor says that it is possible to drive from Valdez to Fairbanks but not over the Richardson Highway. He said it can be done, however, via Tok Junction.
 He explained that this is possible because of the early opening of Thompson Pass just out of Valdez. This road has been opened so early this year, said Taylor, because of a light snowfall this year making blowing operations easy Flowing started at the usual time this year but there was less snow to clear from the highway.
 The Richardson Highway, said the man who is responsible for its maintenance, will not be open for another 30 days when 1t is expected that the Valdez Pass road will be cleared of winter snows.

RUSS SHIPS
 ARRIVE IN
 CANAL ZONE
Need of Repairs, Is Claim, Which Will Be Made in
 Harbor, Not Dock

BALBOA, c. z., April 16.--LRt-Lt. Gen. Willis Crittenberger, Com mander of U. s. Armed Forces in the Caribbean, said today five small Russian ships had arrived unan- nounced at Cristobal harbor in need of repairs.
 The vessels, described as fishing craft, were believed enroute from Leningrad to Vladivostok.
 The repair work will be done out side the port and the ships will not come alongside the docks.
 Crittenberger said this would pre- vent them from cluttering up har- bor facilities. Usually, ships which put in at Cristobal for repairs are berthed at the docks.
 When asked whether this was the first instance wherein such precau- tions were taken, Crittenberger re- piled:
 We take precautions always"
 Some of the repair work on the Soviet ships, chiefly to compass and radio equipment, will require moving the ships, so their crews will re- main aboard.

STARTLING INFLUX

NEW YORK, April 16.-lR-Rep J. Parnell Thomas (R-NO reports what he terms startling influx of Russians into Panama since early in 1947.
 He claims there is reason to be- lieve that their chief interest is in the {. Panama Canal Zone
 Fifteen Soviet ships "of the fish ing type" passed through the canal in the last six months of 1947 Thomas says, and one of them an chored off the Atlantic side of the canal for several days.
 Thomas, Chairman of the House Committee on Un-American acti- vities, recently returned from an on the spot investigation in the Canal Zone. He was forced to cut short his trip because of illness.
 Writing in the current issue of Liberty Magazine, Thomas said the 5000 U. s. troops in the Canal Zone could do little more than care for the wounded and bury the dead in the event of hostilities.

CRAIG PLEADING,
 CIVIL AIRpCRTS,
 ] ALASKA CITIES
Says Construction Must Start Soon for Delay Will
 Be Most Tragic

WASHINGTON, April 16-lRt- Lieut.. Gen. H. A. Craig says it will be tragic to put off until next year construction of new civil airports at Anchorage and Fair banks.
 He told a Senate subcommittee that unless Congress, within the next two to three weeks. votes the necessary funds. the start of the construction would be delayed for another year because of weather conditions
 He added: T think 1t would be tragic if that took place"
 Craig is deputy chief of staff for material in the Air Force. His views coincided with those of Sen- ator Capehart (R-IndD.
 Capehart said that in view of the urgency of world conditions Congress should speedily author ize the construction.
 Craig, who formerly commanded U. s. forces in Alaska, spoke of the Territory's strategic position on northern air routes, both civil and military.
 The subcommitte is considering measures to authorize $8,000,00 for an international airport at Anchorage and $5,000,000 for a civil airport at Fairbanks.
 The House has already passed the Anchorage bill and is now considering the Fairbanks author ization.
 The Brewster bill would author ize the Civil Aeronautics Admin istraticn to acquire or construct airports in foreign Territories. sub- ject to appropriate international agreements, and to conduct related services such as weather and nav igational aids.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said he thought Alaska should be in- cluded in the Brewster bill to avoid the necessity of asking for specific projects in the future. But he suggested that in the interests of speed it might be better also to pass separate bill for Anchor age and Fairbanks. He said he understood the Budget Bureau has already earmarked approximately $2,000 100000 to get the projects underway.

ALASKA SHIPPING
 NOW MONOPOLY,
 A55ERTS GRUENING
Gives testimony Before Senate Commerce Sub-
 committee in Wash.

WASHINGTON. April 16.--tR-- Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska asserted yesterday that so far as Alaska is concerned the American Merchant Marine "simmers down pretty much to a one-man monopo- y originating in Seattle"
 The Governor. testifying before Senate Commerce subcommittee Irged approval of legislation to permit Canadian vessels to serve nterport passenger traffic in AL ska and carry American merchant lise from Canadian ports to Alaska.
 He charged that Gilbert w. Skin her, President of the Alaska Steam ship CO, of Seattle, also controls he Northland Transportation Co.,, hereby monopolizing the service Q the Territory.
 Skinner later denied his inter sts were a monopoly and said no other companies would risk go- ng into the Alaska trade.
 Gruening said Skinner is the principal stockholder of Alaska Steamship Co, and with his son controls two-thirds of the stock )f Northland
 Dual Controls
 "The effects of this dual con- trol have been manifest in the efforts to increase monopoly and squeeze out the only real po- ,ential competitor from Seattle and elsewhere, namely the Alaska Transportation Company" Gruening .estified. MT. Skinner has stated Q me frankly that he believes in monopoly, that he would like to iee complete monopoly estab- ished."
 Gruening said one effect of the monopoly was the withdrawal of Il advertising of the two lines rom an Alaskan newspaper, which le did not name. He said this vas done after the newspaper Jrinted editorials the companies lid not like.
 Business Increase
 Gruening and Ralph Rivers, Att orney General of Alaska, testified hat to grant Canadian vessels the rivilege of carrying interport dssengers in Alaska would increase he Territory's tourist business.

VASHINGTON--A lot of people have wondered where Harold Stas- sens campaign expenses are com- ing from.
 The Minnesota Governor, not a wealthy man, has spent the last two years touring the length and breadth of the USA, with cam- paign headquarters set up in sever al states. Naturally, this takes money. The matter of who is putting up the money is impor- tant to the voting public.
 Most of Stassen's packers, it can be revealed, are blue-chip busi- ness men, including some of his old Minnesota neighbors. Several of the group, it should be noted, have progressive ideas and enjoy excellent relations with labor Here are the chief Minnesota men be- hind Stassen:

SAWMILL
 REMAINS pI(kETED
NLRB Official Completes investigation But
 Makes No Report

Howard E. Hilbun, National Labor Relations Board Field Examiner, left here this afternoon after com pleting his examination of the dis pute between the Juneau Spruce Corporation and Juneau Local 1-16, CIO International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union.
 The company filed charges of un- fair labor practices with the NLRB last week when the ILWU threw picket line around its Juneau saw mill and succeeded in virtually clos ing the plant.
 Hilbun arrived hero Wednesday and has conferred with company and union officials as well as the Territorial Department of Labor He said that there are many things to consider in the case before he can make his recommendations to the Regional NLRB Director.
 Is It Jurisdicti0naI?
 The main point, says Hilbun, is jurisdiction over the loading of company barges. In most cases, jurisdictional dispute is between two unions but that is not true, he ex- plained, in the present dispute.
 The company argues it is using its own barges for shipping lumber to the States. They contend that their contract with Juneau Local M-271, CIO International Wood workers of America, calls for that union to do all work at the sawmill from the rough to the finished pro ducts.
 IVA Agrees with ILWU
 Juneau Spruce says that loading of the barges at the sawmill is where the IVA jurisdiction ends but the longshoremen say differently. They argue that past history and con- tracts prove otherwise. The ILWU also points out that the sawmill workers union is willing to surrend- CT this jurisdiction.
 Hilbun says he will take these statements and many other conflict ing arguments back to Seattle with him to discuss with NLRB attorney P. H. Thomas. They hope to com plete their findings by Monday and speed their decision to Washington, D. c. and the Board as fast as pos sible in order to avoid any more de- lay than necessary. He says the dis pute will receive priority handling by the NLRB.
