WASHINGTON, Feb 2l. tP - Rep. Nixon R -Califl predicted to- day the House will agree on law this year to expose American Com munists
 His House Un-American Activities Subcommittee closed hearings yes terday on two bills. One would out law the party, and the other would make Communists register publicly as agents of foreign power

BiIIproposed For Land for
 Alaska 5taie
Delegate Submits Amend menfs Regarding All
 Public Lands in North

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l R- Amendments to the Alaska State hood Bill to let the Territory select 2l ,930, 900 acres of land for the new state was proposed yesterday ty the Interior Department.
 The bill as prepared by Delegate Bartlett of Alaska would have turned all public lands over to the Territory except land actually used by the United States, National Park and Monument lands and Naval Pet roleum Reserves.
 The Interior Department suggest ed that the formula used With the latest States admitted to the Un- ion be followed in Alaska. That was to give the state four sections out Of every 36, but amended to allow AL aska as a state to select the 2l ,930,- eco acres rather than following the checkerboard pattern by taking sec tions.
 This formula, the Department said, would be fair to the new state in that it could select the best land
 Of the total, 2l,00,0oo acres will be for schools, 430,000 fer the Land Grant University and 500000 for all other purposes.
 The Interior report on the bill urg- ed that it ke enacted as soon as pos sible It said the people wanted, are well suited for statehood and de- serve the recognition of being made a state.
 nep Crawford (R-Mich) recessed a hearing of the Territories Subcom- mittee which was hearing testimony on the bill until next Tuesday. At that time the proposed amendments to the measure will be considered.

MACARTHUR
 TOO BUSY TO
 COME HOME
Touehy Political Decision Is Settled by General
 Himself in Statement

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2l.-iRl-The House Foreign Affairs Committee had touchy political decision lifted right out of it's hands today by Gen. Douglas MacArthur
 The Generals name got tangled up in the Committees Aid-to-Chlna discussions yesterday when some members suggested inviting him to Washington to testify on Far East ern problems.
 That started an argument. Con gressmen opposing the move said It could be used as an attempt to boom Macarthur for the COP Presidential nomination.
 But others insisted that MacAr- thur should be asked home from Japan to give valuable advice on how to help China overcome its Native Communist armies.
 The General settled the whole rroblem himself. He said he is too busy to make the trip.
 While I deeply appreciate the confluence reflected in the sugges- ton I return to the United States to state my views to the House For eiqn Affairs Committee on the China Relief Plan," he said in a Tokyo statement, T hope the Committee will not further the idea"
 That seemed to settle the flght before it really got going
 A Macarthur man, meanwhile, an nounced in Chicago that he IS go- ing to establish a national head quarters in Washington for packers of the General.
 The Chicagoan is Warren Wright banker and former Illinois State Treasurer.
 "The objective of me and my friends" he said, "is to create a popular demand for General Mac Arthur that will compel the Republi- can National Convention to nom mate him this summer"

WASHINGTON = Is is consid- cred more than significant that a crack reporter fer the Cincinnati Times Star, owned by the Taft family, has left for Australia to cover the route which General MacArthur tock on his northward advance from Australia to the Philippines.
 The reporter is Douglas M. Allen, Jr., who lett for Australia early in January and is scheduled to hit Korea and Japan around April 15, working his way through the Philippines and the battle-scarred Pacific Islands.
 Inside word is that Allen will do a little quiet probing of certain incidents surrounding MacArthur's s campaign, which during the war were shrouded by censorship. One of these is the famous jungle man. sion which MacArthur had the Sea- hees build for him on a hill over looking Hollandia.
 Macarthur aroused Navy resent ment-at times, even bitterness during his northward advance to the Philippines. And if he decides to become a Presidential candi- date, obviously it would not hurt his rival candidates, including Sen ator Taft, to have certain hitherto censored information told to the
