200 MILES OF ROAD, INTERIOR, WILL BE
 HARD SURFACED, 'N

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 30.- lR-Between 150 and 200 miles of road around Anchorage and Fair banks will be hard surfaced next year, M. 0. Edmunds, Superintend- ent of the Alaska Road Commission, announced today.
 Edmunds said contracts will be let within month for the deposit ing of materials along the highway prior to the start of road surfacing
 Included in the stretches to be black-topped .are the Anchorage Palmer Highway and between 100 and 150 miles of highway out of Fairbanks.
 Edmunds said construction of a 180-foot span over the Eagle River in the Palmer Anchorage road is expected to be completed within six weeks. The opening of the bridge will eliminate half mile of road and cut out the hazardous Eagle River curve.
 The Anchorage Potter road is now within one mile of completion, Ed munds reported. The road will be part of the Anchorage-Kenai High way. Edmunds said the necessity of building through swamp lands had slowed construction progress but said the section of road is expected to be ready for use by the end of the construction season.

 Major Assignment

WASHINGTON, July 30-tR-The steady build-up of American air power in Europe, reflecting the strain in Western Power relations with Russia, reached a new phase today.
 A Major General was ordered to England to take command of the co Superfortresses which flew there from this country two weeks ago. When the two wings of B-29's un- obtrusively departed the United States, the highest ranking officer was a Colonel.
 Furthermore, when Maj. Gen. Leon w. Johnson takes over his new as signment early next week he will be commanding what actually amounts to the framework for an air divi- siony unit designation widely used during World War II.

Florida Newspaperman Gives
 His Lowdown on Alaska Trip < Over Highway, Also Deiense

SEATTLE. July 30.-tR--A Flor ida newspaperman. who drove to the opposite corner of the contin- ent by automobile, reports that there is less war talk among the Alaskans than in the United States, except for the military.
 Stephen Trumbull, Miami news paperman who writes for the Chi cago Daily News Service, arrived back in Seattle by ship after a 6.000-mile drive which took hin over the Alaska Highway.
 While Alaska civilians talk less about war prospects than theil stateside' countrymen, Trumbul said the military views Territorial defense glumly as a colossal job
 He said military leaders fee they would be hard-pressed te defend the vast and sprawlinl Territory against any major effort by foreign power. Transporta- tion is the major bottleneck. De- fense of such an area is recognized as a tremendous assignment, ever with good communication links They cite the added handicap of in- cufficient rail and road links.
 The main railroad to the interior needs improvement for even normal needs, he said. Air supply is the cnly suitable method for many iso- lated areas.
 Trumbull shipped his car back to Seattle by water, figuring one- way Alaska Highway trip is enough for any motorist. Mrs. Trumbull made the trip with him.
 The vteran newspaperman made these observations about motoring to Alaska:
 The Edmonton Dawson Creek 500-mile link is tough going" be- cause of poor surfacing, but the 1,500 miles north of the Alaska Highway itself was mot bad"
 He found an 80-year-old man and his wife making the trip without trouble.
 Hell Of An Appeal
 The Highway will have "a hell of an appeal to motorists in search of outdoor adventure, but it will never hold mass appeal to travellers who like a room with pri- vate bath when they're on the road
 A l00-mile gap was the longest without gasoline station and the highest price was about 67 cents for Canadian imperial gallon.
 The Haines cutoff was more scenic than the regular highway
 A visitor is struck by the friend Illness of Alaskans, despite the big influx of military base workers.
 A man who makes good on an Alaskan homestead is the type of man who would make good any where 1t takes both hard work and know-how.
 Anyone wanting to go to work in Alaska should have a job arr ranged before he goes north.

WASHINGTON = Now that men are, being drafted into the Army again, this column proposes to fo- GUS more attention on brasshatism which the better-type officers have tried to eliminate of late. How ever, behind General MacArthur's rigid military censorship in Japan some amazing things have hap pened- revolving round the prob- able murder of Lieut.. Charles Vet ter at Kokura, Japan.
 The facts in the case point to one of the worst scandals in the Army, so far completely hushed up

PRESIDENT

 ON G0pERS
Says Republicans Quick ening InfIotion-Eto
 homie Message
By STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON, July 30.-th-
 President Truman today accused
 the Republican Congress of a blind disregard" of quickening imitation.
 Lasting prosperity is not assur- ed" the Chief Executive declared in calling anew for laws to "fore- stall business collapse" Such crash may come, he said, as a sudden climax to the leapfrog game of wage and price increases.
 MT. Truman threw whole book of economies at the special ses- sion. It was his midyear econ- omic report, ll5 pages long.
 Undaunted by the icy reception he got on Tuesday. when he pre- sented his program in person. the President renewed his demand for sweeping powera-inoAuding con- , trol over prices, wages. rationing and credit, plus. an excess profits tax to discourage price boosting. The core of the plan. a 1 percent
 roll back in prices of essential cost
 of living items, was revealed yes- tesdaEs when <oEnaar oRA &hksf,
 Paul Porter laid an omnibus white 1. House bill before the lawmakers. The aim. by cutting those prices
 back to the November. i947. level. is to hold general living costs
 where they are now Porter said. MT Truman, in his message to- day, insisted:
 Tt k not too late for preven- tative measures, and we are not yet forced by the tragic consequent ces of depression to adopt mea- sures which would interfere with our free economy far more than would any or all of the measures l have proposed
 The pages he sent to Capitol Hill mostly comprised the report of his council of economic advisers. The three-member council backed up MT. Truman's plea for more power. but did not endorse any particular form of regulation.
 Using the councils data, MT. Truman pointed to strong imitation ary factors he said are entering the picture now. He listed these as including muiti-billion dollar spending for defense and foreign aid. "third-round" wage boosts, and the probable wiping out ot the Fed eral surplus in the next year.
 Soon after the message was giv- en Senator Taft tR-O Ohiol told the Senate Mir Truman doesn't want to stop inflation' and that 1t is difficult to believe he will use" any new powers voted him by Con- gress.
 Tafts outburst was touched off by Mir. Truman's new call for legislation. made in the form of an economic report.
 The report reached the Capitol while two Truman aides were on The Hill' battling personally for the Presidents program. ! Secretary of the Treasury Sny- der. appearing before the Senate Banking Committee, urged (A) Government power to control in- stallment buying, and tB) author ity for the Federal Reserve Board in increase required bank reserves. The idea back of increased re- serves is that it would tie up money that banks might otherwise lend to people whose spending would in- crease inflationary pressures.
 Secretary Snyder told Congress members he has the same attitude toward price controls that he does
