BARGE SYSTEM TO ALASKA ES GIVEN
 RECONCILIATION
Congressman Jackson Wants Thorough Study
 oh Shipping Condition
By Alice Frein Johnson

DE Al4CE TECtn JOuziSOD
 WASHINGTON, March (oy maiD - Barge-line transportation between Alaska and Seattle has been given a sufficiently extensive trial this winter to demonstrate that ut- ilization of barges is not only feas- ible, but also efficient and econom- ically advantageous. Congressman Henry M. Jackson, Democrat, Wash. declared today.
 "A program employing both barg es and steamships would seem to he the answer to Alaska's grave trans portation problems" Jackson said.
 Jackson was instrumental in writ ing and having enacted the inter i'm aid act, giving government as sistance to the Alaska Steamship, Northland Transportation and AL aska Transportation companies through June of this year.
 The Alaska Freight Express Line of tug-drawn steel barges was start ed after enactment of the interim aid law. The barge line has not re- ceived any form of government sub sidy, although it's equipment-Nayy surplus-was purchased cheaply from the War Assets Corporation.
 Recommendations were submitted today by Jackson to committee appointed to assist in determining whether the interim aid act should be extended. Committee members are Grenville Mellen, United States Maritime Commissioner; Kenneth c. Royal, Secretary of War, and Julius A. Krug, Secretary of Interior
 Three Bills Introduced
 Jackson pointed out to the Com mittee his belief that they should make a detailed study of the fol- lowing points:
 l. Freight and passengers services should be treated separately.
 At the present time" Jackson stated, there is no question that freight rates to Alaska remain high because a part of the passenger cost lis heing subsidized by the people who pay the freight rates
 2. Three bills have been introduced in Congress to amend the Jones Act and the Passenger Act of 1886, all Of which would allow Canadian shipping firms to operate inter-port services in Alaska, and, probably, to extend their terminals to Seattle. Before any such action is taken ty Congress, it should be ascertain- ed if the Canadian companies would be willing to subject themselves to the jurisdiction of the United States Maritime Commission, and guaran- tee regular service to whatever ports the Commission should re- quire in the public interest and ser vice.
 None Of the three bills, as now written, would prevent the Canadian companies from choosing the most profitable ports of call and leaving cut the rest There is no requirement that they provide year-round service. Furthermore. there is no assurance that, were the Canadians allowed in ! the service. other foreign-flag com (Corfinuad op paoa Five)

 WASHINGTON Dyke Cullum, broker-pal of Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, now finds himself hold ing about 100000 bags of peas pur- chased last fall in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. And, faced with the Agriculture Departments re- 1usal to buy more dried peas at monopoly boosted prices, Cullum is working feverishly to prevent an investigation by the Senate Appro- priations Committee.
 In crder to throw dust in Con- gressional eyes, Cullum has been trying to get another group-the House Agricultural Committee, which he thinks will be more friendly to home-to make the probe instead of the Senate.
 However, when Cullum's plea for a House investigation was taken up behind the closed doors of the Horticultural Committee, re receiy- ed scant sympathy. Chairman August Andresen of Minnesota was in no mood to let Cullum make what he termed sound ing board of his committee.

LOCAL PROBLEMS
ARE PRESENTED
FOR SEC. WARNE
Public Meeting for Inter
ior Dept. Executive
Is Well Attended

Local pre- jects needing assistance
from the Department Of the In
terror were presented to Assistant
Secretary William E. Warne and
discussed at a public meeting OF
the Juneau City Council last night.
The projects included Gold Greek
flood control, enlargement of the
Small Beat Harbor, paving OF the
Glacier Highway, establishment OF
a National Veterans Cemetery, ex-
tension of the Juneau Airport and
dredging of the Mendenhall Bar.
Also discussed were the labor
dispute at the Juneau Spruce Cor
poration, the impending Pacific
Coast longshoremen's strike, nous
ing for government employees, the
Territcry's educational problems,
moving of Federal offices to An
chorage from Juneau, development
of water power, Alaska's transpor-
tation problems, rivers and harbors
work, problems Of Delegate E. l..
Bartlett and development Of the
Territory in the future.
There was some disagreement
between Walne and Alien Shat
tuck, who spoke from the audience.
Shattuck declared that Matanuska
Valley farmers cannot compete
with washington State farmers
for shipping their produce to
Southeast Alaska, where he said
that Alaska will develop first.
Warne agreed on this point ex-
cept he expressed the belief that
there would be mere developmnt in
the Interior. He argued that Fed
eral Government spending in that
area will continue for an indef-
mite period.
Warne also answered another
question en- the possible moving
of all Federal agencies to Anchor
age from juneau. He said that as
long as Juneau remains the Terri
torial Capital, some agencies will
remain here, although some may
move to Anchorage anyway.
Mr.. Warne expressed his graft
tude for the information he re-
ceived at the hearing last night.
He said that the arguments and
data would prove extremely use
full in the ful1illment of his dut-
les in Washington, D. c., because
he would then have more first
hand information and direct know
ledge of the problems before him.
He pointed out that he is re-
sponsible for Alaska's welfare in
the Department Of the Interior.

u. 5. Officials Admit
Aid Plan Poses Many
Problems in Turkey
By Richard D. Robinson
Foreign Correspondent Of The stor and
The Chicnoo Dolly News


ISKENDERUN, Turkey, Nov. 25.-
American officials in Turkey admit
frankly that the United States aid
program is beset with many serious
problems.
True, under American supervision,
schools for every branch of the
armed forces, plus one for the op-
Grafton of heavy highway construc-
tion equipment have been organized.
Nevertheless, the road ahead is
bound to be. rough one.
For one thing, the Turkish army
has no personnel policy and conse-
quently vast amount of manpower
is wasted.
The army is organized along rigid
Prussian-like caste lines. All high
school and college graduates can be-
come officers without difficulty.
No Trade Classifications.
Enlisted men, regardless of proved
capacity, cannot. Men are rarely
assigned to tasks because of their
ability. There are no trade classi-
! fications.
Furthermore, much enlisted per-
sonel is wasted serving the personal
needs of officers rather than train
ing to increase the combat strength
of the army. g.
A Turkish officer rarely craWls un-
der machine to show his men how
to repair 1t. Even if he knew how,
r rryNy,1l MT. ~ sc fN0 lif.tu IiS
men might lose their respect for
him. The very fact that the Amer
lean Army has used its enlisted men
in some cases to instruct Turkish
officers has ranked.
A second problem is the fact that
the Turkish army is too large for
existing equipment, training and
finances. All male Turks must spend
two years in military service. This
means that the Turkish army num-
bers at least 100000, possibly 1,000,-
900 men. A much smaller, but bet
ter trained, equipped and paid force
would be far more effective.
Extremely Loyal.
The pay of Turkish private is
barely Is cents a month. This means
that there are virtually no profess
sional soldiers other than officers
On the other hand, the Turk is ex-
tremely loyal, patriotic and we'll
disciplined. He has strong feeling
| of his nationality ans of urgency.
/ A third problem is the absence of
a mechanical background on the
part of Turkish enlisted men. One
of the American generals in Turkey
commented:
( The major difficulty in training
is that the men are conscriptees,
and the most complicated piece of
machinery they may have seen be-
fore coming into the army is
wooden plow. They hardly know
the difference between a hammer
and a screwdriver. This is quite
different from the American boy
who is brought up with an old
jalopy."
Thus, the maintenance standards
in the Turkish army are under
standably low.
One high American official frank
| ly stated, "the Turkish army will
have a tough time keeping the
equipment going which we have
given them"

Allies Condemn Red Dictatorship In CzechOs!ovakia

ASHIN G TON, lPJ - The United States, Britain and France yesterday jointly condemned as "disguised dictatorship" of Com r.Iunists the new government set mp in CzechoSlovakia.
 In a declaration issued at the State Department here the three governments, also said the com munists seized power through "a crisis artificially and deliberately instigated."
 With an apparent reference to earlier Communist power grabs, such as in Hungary, the three western powers charged that the crisis served as a cover for 'the use of certain methods already tested in other places" |"
 As a result, the statement said CzechOslovakia has suffered "the suspension of the free exercise of parliamentary institutions and the establishment of a disguised die tatorship of a single party

Shakeup Due In
 Democratic Party
(By Jack BelD

WASHINGTON, (P)-A shake up in the embattled Democratic party after the Presidential cleo ton was predicted today by Sena- tor George D.-GaO
 Without passing on President Truman's chances in November, George said he believes southern opponent of MT. Truman's civil rights program are going to have a great deal to say about the future complexity of their party.
 As he spoke Dixie Democrats fought a delaying action in Con gress against enactment of the civil rights plan. But in the south ern states themselves, the drive to bar MT. Truman's name on the of ficial ballot gained momentum.
 T think that as a result of this l948 campaign we will have a chance to reorganize the Demo cratic party on a basis of sound economic and good government principles, the Georgia Senator told a reporter.
