MEMORANDUM 10
 klASKANS FROM
 ALASKA S. S. co,

i A memorandum to the people of i Alaska has been issued by F. A. i Zeusler, executive assistant to the president of the Alaska Steamship Company, containing many perti- lnent issues regarding transporta- ton to Alaska, aims and other pro- posals of the company.
 The memorandum, under date of December IT, is as follows.
 On December 10 the SS. Barr anof of The Alaska Line departed for Alaskan ports, the first regular service since the beginning of the three month West Coast maritime strike It is our hope that the union agreements which made pos- sible this sailing will afford steady and dependable shipping for years to come.
 With the resumption of regular steamship service to Alaska, we be- lieye that a statement from tbe Alaska Steamship Company regard ing future freight rates is essen tial for realistic planning on the part of those who ship or receive freight in the Alaska trade
 "The Alaska Steamship Company is desirous of maintaining freight rates at the present levels. and is determined to do it's utmost to eff feet every ecofomy of operation, short of curtailing service, to real- ize this goal. Reluctant as we may be to increase rates, however, there are two essential factors without which there is no conceivable means of avoiding additional raises
 "O We must have the full CO., operation of the unions in adhering strictly to the letter and spirit of the new agreements, and in avoid ing walkouts, slowdowns and other forms of so-called s'job action" which have previously disrupted shipping. And
 "t2) We must have the support of Alaskans and all those who ship to Alaska in utilizing our serv- ice for their water transportation requirements in order that our ves- sels operate with the greatest pos s.ble load factor
 Granted favor in these elements, we consider that it is possible to an- ticipate that the present level of rates could prove adequate to pro- vide future service. During the coming months the Alaska Steam ship Company proposes to test this possibility.
 The general freight rate struc- ture under which we are now oper- ating went into effect May 2l, l947. Since that date several occurrences have added greatly to our already heavy operating expenses.
 "On July 26. l948. I presented a to the people Of AL aska in which I enumerated the vents leading up to. and the req

Hospital Operation
 Is probed
Ribs Removed from Wronq Side of TuberCuIar
 Woman's s Chest

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-lR : District of Columbia officials are investigating an operation perform ed Tuesday at the Government owned Glenn Dale Sanitor.um in which surgeon removed ribs from the wrong side of tubercular wom- ans chest.
 The woman, whose name was Withheld, was reported in a serious condition but Glenn Dale officials said her chances of recovery are good.
 They said her left lung was tuber- cular, but the operation, preliminary to collapsing of a lung, was per- formed on the right side, unaffect- ed by the disease.
 pr. Frank Ashburn, local chest specialist, performed the operation following a schedule made out by Dr. James s. Conant, chief of sur gerry, at the hospital. They said X-rays were in the operating room at the time
 Dr. Conant said: "It was my fault. scheduled it wrong.
 There is really nothing to hide, pr. Ashburn told reporter, add ing that the schedule had been on file for a week and no one noticed the error.
 He said the right lung actually was not collapsed because such op- erations are performed in stages. He explained that he removed the top two and half r.bs to make the lung accessible for later operations.

HEARING ON
 1949 FISHING
 REGULATIONS
Public Urged to Discuss FWS Proposals at
 Meeting Tomorrow

All interested persons are urged to attend the public hearing to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, when proposed regulations for com mercial fishing during the 1949 season will be discussed.
 The meeting will be in the Fish and Wildlife Service Office, Room 430, Federal Building.
 This is the last chance to make minor changes in regulations for Southeast Alaska, for the coming season." said Clarence J. Rhode, FWS Alaska Regional Director, to- day.
 The proposals to be approved early in January are based on ex- tensive hearings in Alaska and Se- attle, but it is possible that rules concerning local boundaries can best be established with informa- ton from those who know each area best, and who are the most concerned. We are eager to get all possible views on the proposals"
 Similar hearings will be held in Sitka, Wrangell and Ketchikan to- morrow and Saturday.
 Fishing Closures
 The 1949 regulations, proposals for which were released today by the Fish and Wildlife Service, call for closing approximately 31 per cent of all fishtraps, and the clos ure of a number of areas as ''re- serves subject to reopening if the abundance of fish so warrants, which otherwise will be closed to all fishing.
 The trap closures will be made on the basis of the previous con- dition of pink salmon runs. In sc:ne areas the closure will be 100 per cent, in others, this percen- tage will range downward to no trap closures. This proposal has no relation to the recently an- nounced proposal to limit units of fishing gear, which would require a change in the basic Fisheries Act by the United States Congress and could not be made effective even if adopted before 1850.
 Longer Season
 Majority opinion at the earlier hearings seemed to be that the season originally proposed was too short to warrant a fishing oper- ation."
 The original season proposed by the Service was August Is to September in the southern por- tion of Southeast Alaska south of Frederick Sound, and August p to September in the northern sec- tion, where the runs are more ser- iously depleted. Under the new proposals, the open season north i of Summer Straits would be from | August Is to September 3, and | south of Frederick Sound, August | to September 3.
 This is not quite as long a sea- ] son as requested by many of the ! fishermen and operators" said 1 Rhode, but is considerably long, | CT and earlier than originally pro- posed, and goes as far toward , meeting public recommendation as ]

ForresfaI Urges Re Arning of Non-C Communist Europe; Wanfs
 More Commanding Authority
By ELTON c. FAY

| Secretary of Defense Forrestal set the stage today for possible new fight in Congress with his plea for greater power over the na- tion's armed services.
 At the same time, the Cabinet officer declared this country must help re-arm Communist Eu- rope even though the cost may necessitate hard decisions by our people"
 For itself, the United States lis less vulnerable today" than it was when the Army. Navy and Air Force were unified year ago last September, Forrestal said.
 But. he added that this is not enough We must do all in our power 10 re-create the confidence and hope of Europe"
 Fight On Communism
 Forrestal did not say what hard decisions" he had in mind. But plainly he meant the possibility of higher taxes and more short ages at home while American dol lars and goods are poured into the dike being erected against Russian Communist aggression.
 His first annual report, made pub lice last night, was devoted large ly to a review of the military establishment under his direction, together with recommendation to the White House for changes in the unification law.
 But it was spiced by terse but intriguing notation that military scientists are working on an earth satellite vehicle program"-perhaps a man-made moon from which great destruction might be heaped on any threatening nation. Wants More Authority
 The chief, but not unexpected, recommendation from Forrestal was that the unification act be amended to give the Defense Sec retary more direct authority over the three armed services.
 Without referring directly to the bitter feud between the Air Force and Navy over long range bomb ing and super-carriers, Forrestal said there have been many argu- ments and disagreements." And, . he added, there are still great areas in which the viewpoints of i, the services have not come togeth- l CT"
 He left no doubt he wants to be i able to tell the services to get to- make his order stick. |
 For New Post
 Another Forrestal recommenda- i tion-creation of the post of Un- dersecretary who, as alter ego" to | the Secretary, would become the acting chief of the military eslab- :. lishment in the absence of the paralleled recom- | of the Hoover Commit { tee.
 Forrestal steered away from an- ! other subject certain to arouse wrath in ss-federalization of the Ground National Guard. He did, however. recommend fed eralization of the Air National Guard.
 About National Guard
 The Defense Chief said frankly | he thinks the idea of federaliza- ! ion of the Ground National Guard | $ sound from la military stand ooint-but any attempt to push !, legislation would produce serious ;chisms."
 Even the proposal for combin- | ng the Air National Guard with he Air Reserve under direction of he regular Air Force may produce dispute. The Nation Il Guard Association already has denounced the plan as an enter ng wedge for eventual full federal control of the whole GuarG svs- ,enl. T

WASHINGTON President Tru- mans Council of Economic Ad- visers is keeping it very quiet but they are now studying an anti deflation program as well as an anti-inflation program.
 The Presidents advisers have been bombarded during the past four weeks with confidential mem- oranda revealing that business is down in many parts of the coun- try. Department stores in some areas report business off as much as IS per cent. The appliance in- dustry also complains that the demand for radios, refrigerators, electric ranges, vacuum cleaners and other produce has slumped.
 Layoffs have been growing and employment has dipped below the 60 million mark for the first time in close to year. This. of course, is still an extremely high figure

Bernadotte Staying
Condemned by Klein;
Blow 10 Israel Seen

Representative Klein, Democrat,
Of New York today condemned the
assassination of Count Folke Berna-
dotte, United Nations mediator, as
"an irresponsible and horrifying /
act" He plans to leave next Mon
day for a trip to the Holy Land. /
Mr.. Klein will go first to Paris to
see the U. N General Assembly in
action and then proceed to Israel.
He hopes to see Israel's petition for
admission to the United Nations
presented to the assembly
The New Yorker spoke last night .
before the Mizrachi Zionist Organ
ization of Washington at Hotel
2400. /
Deploring the Staying of Count
Bernadotte, he declared, mo re-
sponsible Jew would do thing like
that
The assassination "set the state
of Israel back 10 years. he added. /
U. S. Support Predicted.
Mr.. Klein voiced the fear that
persons favoring the Arabs now
would charge that Israel did not
have a responsible government"
Regarding the request of Israel
for admission to the United Nations,
Mr.. Klein told his audience Il am
as certain as any man can be In an
uncertain world that the United
States will back the Israeli request
for admittance."
On his trip Mr.. Klein said he
hoped to see in Israel the miracles
of production and reclamation that
have been wrought. I am going to
see where this modern David, the
slender forces of the Israel army,
stood off and sent back in cringing
defeat this latterday Goliath, the
Arab League, and its Arab volunteer
associates.
Two Others Speak.
Other speakers at the Mizrachi
organization last night also ex-
pressed hope that Israel may be-
come a member of the United Ma
tions.
They included Rabbi Israel E.
Friedman of New York City, mem
bership secretary of Mizrachi, and
Mrs. Nachman H. Ebin of New
York, national vice president of the
Mizrachi Women's Organization. I.
The Mizrachi is the religious group
