Senator Lucas, Democrat, of

unqualified support" of pro-

Federal officials, including cabi-
net officers.
In a statement the Senator said
he agreed with recent proposals
of the director of the Budget Bu-

Hoover that high officials of the
Government should receive better
pay.
I'VE need the best talent we can
find to carry forward the programs

Government so difficult to solve.
These problems grow more complex
daily. American interests are il
VOWED IN every corner OF tho

The Government for years, he
pointed out, has been laboring under
the handicap of the pitifully in
adequate salaries which 1t can offer
these men, as contrasted with pri-
vate industry"
This situation cries out for cor
rection," the Senator declared.
II am satisfied" he said, that the
suggestions of the director. Of the
Bureau of the Budget for increasing
the pay of Cabinet officers to $25,-
900 q year with corresponding in
creases for other officials will go a
long way to remedy this defect in
the operation of the Government. 1

BULLETIN

The House Committee on
Un-American Activities this
afetrnoon released an addi-
tional group of stolen prewar
Government documents which
included a report sent in a
highly guarded State Depart
ment code by Col. Joseph w.
StillWell, later a general, who
was United Statessmilitary at
tache in China lii 1898. The
1898 dispatch told of the dis
integration of Chinese Nation
alist forces and guerrilla plans
o fthe Chinese Reds.
The House Committee on Un-
American Activities today gave
out another set of stolen prevail
Government secrets, indicating
some State Department official,
suggested trade agreement talk!
with Germany in 1898, but ad.
vised against any final actor
until after the elections Of that
year.
This second batch was among
several hundred messages obtained
by the committee from Whitaker
Chambers, self-styled former Com
munist agent here, who asserted he
got them 10 years ago from Alger
Hiss, State Department assistant
at the time.
AS in the case OF the first in
stallment published last Sunday
after clearance by State Department
security authorities, today's bundle
OF II documents, containing copies
Of q separate messages had one in
handwriting. The committee said
a Veterans Administration hand
writing expert reported the writing
on that paper matched known
writings" of Mr.. Hiss.
Involved Planes for China.
That copy, dated March 2, 1888
summarized cable from the United
States Embassy in Paris. 1t referred
to information that China had Or
dered 30 light bomber pursuit planes
from France and that French re-
strictions on shipment of military
supplies of China by way of Indo-
China were being literally con-
strued."
The trade agreement matter was
discussed in a 16-page report and
accompanying letter reproduced
from microfllms that Mr.. Chambers
pulled out Of a pumkin hiding place
at his Westminster Md farm two
weeks ago and gave to committee
investigators.
Those documents held that trade
conditions and chances of world
peace might improve and moderate
elements" in the German govern
ment might be encouraged if the
United States discussed working out
some commercial agreement with
Germany.
= They said the initial public reac-
ton might be unfavorable in the
United States, but that the long
range results would bring general
support. In the two years before
the 1910 presidential elections, the
beneficial effects would soften"
public opinion, they added.

 "Wednesday. September Is. ls4s) Indian army leaders predicted today a virtual end of the pocket war in Hyderabad by Thursday or Friday.
 { Indian troops pounding in toward the capital of the princely state from perhaps ten directions were expected to reach the city of Hyderabad by that time.
 The Indian defense ministry said civil authorities and the peo- pie of the south central state have offered no opposition. India is try ing to force Hyderabad to join the Indian Union; the Moslem Nizam of the state is reluctant.
 Aurangabad, second largest city, fell without a shot. It gave India nearly all the northwest corner. Other troops closing in from the east, west and south were much closer to the capital.
 tROME) - The western powers and Russia disagreed utterly on the future of Italy's colonies. The problem thus went to the United Nations, as provided in the Italian peace treaty.
 The U. s. was reported to have changed its mind, for military se- curity reasons, on giving back the colonies to Italy. Needing the Bri- tish viewpoint, the U. s. was said to have decided it would be too risky to turn back the strategic African possession for three rea- sons:
 | Italy is unable to defend them; should the communists win Italy, the colonies would be Russian out posts; and no matter who runs Italy, Moscow undoubtedly would order communists to stir trouble in the colonies.

Editor's Note: Roger Langdon, president of Wasilla's Commun- ity Club, last week received this letter from Don Foster, super lntendent of the Alaska Native Service, in answer to one writ ten by MT. Langdon concerning the site for a proposed ANS hos pital.)
 Dear MT. Langdon:
 This is in reply to your re- quest for report on your loca- tion for the proposed 4OO-bed hospital which the Indian Serv- ice contemplates building i1 Alaska in the near future.
 The hospital is referred to as the Anchorage Hospital in our request for funds submitted to the Bureau of the Budget and to the Congress. However, no def mite decision has been reached regarding the location. All pro- posed locations including the Matanuska Valley, will be given careful consideration before a final decision is made. Deter imitation of the location of the hospital will probably not be made until after the appropria- ton for the project is made by Congress.
 We appreciate your interest in our medical program in Alaska and feel reasonably assured that your location will be given care full consideration before a final decision is made. We are for Warding your letter to the Com missioner of Indian Affairs for his consideration.
 Very truly yours,
 DON c. FOSTER.

WASILLA-Ther are appar- ent misconceptions of high school accreditation and what it means to school, superintendent James Pendleton of Wasilla school de- clared this week. He said many questions recently had arisen concerning the purpose of ac- creditation and what it means to a schools students for that school to lose accreditation.
 He explained that although there are many minor accrediting agencies, territorial school law is the chief accrediting agency for Alaskan high schools. How ever standards are set by recog- nized accrediting gencie S throughout the United States and it's territories.
 Wasilla high school, the small est in Alaska to be accredited, met the standards of the North west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools in 1945, and was placed on the approved list. The purpose of this Association is to fix and maintain certain minimum standards of high schools.
 Nine standards have been set up by this Association, which vary in some degree according to the size of the school. The Northwest Association requires that standards be met in these fields:

 Committees of the Association meet annually to revise or inn prove these standards and to advise, approve or reject high schools already accredited who are not meeting standards.
 Many colleges recognize these standards which have been set up for accredited high schools, as sufficient requirement for col lege entrance. Therefore stu dents from unaccredited high schools often are required to in- dicat their preparation for high CT education through acievement and aptitude tests.
