WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-LR- The Alaska Highway is in good shape except for the southern ap- preach in Canada, Assistant Sec retary of the interior William E. Warne, said today.
 If properly developed. Warne told a reporter, the famous war-built highway may channel a tourist trade of $8O,000 OO0 to $l00,000, ,000 yearly into Alaska.
 But there are two or three sec tions along the 550-mile strip in northern Alberta, between Edmon- ton and Dawson Creek, that are pretty bad" Warne said.
 The interior section, unimprov- ed dirt road that become greasy when it rains. totals only about 125 miles.
 Ernest c. Manning Alberta Premier, told me the Province plans to put the road in shape-relocat ing some sections and gravelint them--as rapidly as possible.
 Surface Improvements
 We hope to pursue the problem of surface improvements with the Canadian officials this year"
 Warne drove over the road, from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Edmonton with H. Rex Lee, Interiors Assist ant Director of Territories, ~Ken- meth J. Kadow, Department Field Representative and Col. John Noy- es. Chief of Roads in Alaska.
 From Fairbanks to Dawson Creek. it is a well-engineered. high class. gravel-surface road equally well maintained in Alaska and in Yu- kon Territory and British Colum- bia, Warne said.
 Y Facilities Needed
 He added that the Highway needs:
 l. Additional roadside facilities especially in Alaska. Canada. he said, is far ahead of Alaska in pro- viding overnight facilities, cafes and gasoline stations.
 2. Dust abatement. Alaska has Started to black-top the first 90 miles of the road out of Fairbankf and plans similar surface to the Canadian. border.
 Tt will. be necessary to hard sur face the road all the way before

TEACHER'S BODY
 E DISINTERRED
 AFTER SIX YEARS
ANS Instructor Killed by Japs on Attu in 1o42
 Taken from Grave

The remains of Foster Jones, AL aska Native Service teacher, whc was killed by the Japs on Attu iil l942, was laid to rest with military honors on August g in Anchor age.
 Col. T. c. Franks, Grave Regis tration officer for the Alaska De- partment, accompanied by two Aleut men, Frank Lakinoff and Alex Prolfokoff. disinterred the body of Jones at Attu in July frank Lakinoff. who was forced by Japanese soldiers to dig a grave for the teacher, was able to remem- OCT the exact position of the make. shift grave.
 MT. and Mrs. Jones were ANS teachers at Attu at the time the Japs landed in June, l942. Mrs. Jcnes was taken prisoner and sent to Japanese prison camp. Sht was released at the end of the war and now resides in New Jer- sey.
 The fate of Jones remained un- known during the war, although one report was received that he had committed suicide. ANS off cials, who knew Jones personally discounted this report as they felt that Jones was not the type of man to take his own life.
 Conclusive evidence that he had been shot by the Japanese rathe, than taking his own life was ob- tained after the body had been disinterred. The deadly bullet had gone through the left temple and was at an angle that couldn't have been self-inflicted. It is also believ- ed that Jones must have been irl sitting position when the shot was fired.

 IN CANADA
Faced with Mounting Costs Seek
 Relief by Govt.
CBY ROBERT BUNNELLE)

or TAWA, Jan. 6.-R-Canad- ian consumers, beset by steadily soaring living costs, looked for at least partial relief today on the Governments re-imposition las t of price controls on meat and but ter.
 In addition, the Government said it will ask Parliament to extend rent controls until March 31, l949.
 Controls on meat and butter were lifted last fall, and since that time prices have climbed, accompanied by the angry protests of consumers.
 In Ottawa, butter is currently sell ing for 73 cents a pound wholesale, and residents who have a fancy for good beefsteak find it priced ct 50 to 65 cents.
 Butter costs consumers around 95 cents a pound in New York City and seeak costs them from 65 to 90 cents a pound.
 Finance Minister Douglas Ab- tott, who announced the re-imposi- tic ot controls on the two prime staples last night said a ceiling price would be fixed on butter in a day or two. begged on wholesale price per pound in Montreal of CT cents. It will take about two weeks to evolve a meat ceiling, he said.
 Although Abbott said meat ceil- ings will mean Canadian wholesale and retail prices for pork will be considerably above those of month ago, they will be less than many prices reported during the past fort night Beef, lamb and veal prices will be fixed at prices moderately atove' ceilings abolished last Oct
 Bacon, beef and other prices ober
 tilted sharply upward Jan. ? when Canada concluded new food con- tracts with Great Britain at inc reases of seven to 3 percent.

(BY T. S. ADAMs)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-lR- Attorney General Clark today ap- proved drastic new controls to curb subyersive activity by alien visitors to the United States.

 Extensions may be obtained, but they will require a showing that a more extended stay is justified.

 Clark acted under tine Admins trative Procedures Act in signing the proposed changes in regulations
 These will be published some time next week in the Federal Register, official Government organ, after which period of 20 days will be all lowed for receipt of written argue ments relative to the proposals"
