President Asked To Seize Shipping; CAB Allows Additional Air Lift
AdFminis stratj0n's Duty To Alaska ---May0r

In strongly worded telegram to President Harry Truman, Mayor Lee Bettinger this week said that it is the duty and respons bility of the adminis-- tration to provide this Territory with adequate transportation" He sent the same message to Interior Secretary Krug
 Suggesting that the president "imagiDe your city completely cut off from the rest of the world," the mayor said that like Berlin, we can only be reached by air with daily neces- sities of life"
 "But." he added, Gin our case it is an 1900 mile air lift and the Uo s. Taxpayer does not pay the bill. Alaskans as federal tax payers are contributing to the one million dollars 8 day to re- lieve Berlin but we are left to our own resources"
 Pointing cut that MT. Truman had 'avowed a policy of de- veIoping and setthng Alaska,' MT. Bettinger said that "sub- versiye forces can not deal any deadliel blow to the development and defense of Alaska than to maintain a prolonged shipping tie up."
 Such a tie up, he said, will mean want and economic ruin for many, curtailment of em ployment, weakening of the de fense pr, gram and result "in loss oi faith for 8 future in a ter ritory subje cted to Federal neg lect."
 The mayor urged the presl- dent to immediately size and operate ships and asked to be advised as to what acton the administration will take.

COMMANDS INVESTIGATE THE FROZEN NORTH

The pair of cowpokes who have been wandering through Palmer's streets on their ponies the last week or two, really aren't wrong-way Corrigans on horseback. They've been want ing to take a look at the territory for some time, so they packed their horses, saddles and dogs in the back of a truck and set out from New Mexico recently.
 The men, Bill Johnson and Jimmy McElroy, had been hunt ing lions and bears for the state of New Mexico, and they brought the dogs along, thinking to do a bit of bear-hunting up here, too. They were quite surprised to learn from Fish and Wildlife au- thorities that hunting with dogs is frowned upon in the territory.
 The north-drifting coWhands, who've been camped on spot of green grass near the Matanuska bridge since their arrival, plan to take leisurely look at the territory-about 30 or 40 days, they figure, before turning south again.
 The men will spend the Fourth in Anchorage, where they will enter in several events of the rodeo planned there.
 MT. Johnson and MT. McElroy deny having any plans of per manent residence in Alaska. They're ''just looking it over."
