their communities is doing an ex.
cellent or good job; 76qs oppos.
Federal regulation of radio adver.
tising; $50 oppose control of con.
troversial issue programming by thu
government.
On the matter of commercial ra.
dio versus government-owned ane
taxed for program purposes, 76%
prefer programs as they are now
with advertising, to paying an an.
nual license fee of S. to get the
same programs.
AS for singing commercials, 379t

by JACK BELL

MILWAUKEE, April 2.-R-Gov Thomas E. Dewey staked his chances for Wisconsin Presidential backing today on program ot blasting Communism but keeping the peace.
 As the turn of politics sent New Dealer Chester BoWles scurlyine from President Truman's camp, the three way bout for Wisconsin's 2l COP nominating votes reached an infighting stage before Tuesdays primary
 Dewey led off with sharp furry of punches at MT. Truman's 'wobbling" foreign policies.
 The New York Governor aimed a right at Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's military genius Dewey said isn't enough to win the cold war with Moscow.
 He let go a left hook at Har- old E. Stassen's "inexperience7 in dealing with Communism.
 Stassen countered with a round- house claim that he will get the support of IA of Wisconsin's dele gates.
 He suggested Macarthur and Dewey packers might be ganging up on him. By inference he lett them to divide the delegation minority.
 MacArthur's counter-attack was handled by Rep. A. L. Miller (R- Neb) and Phil LaFollette, former Wisconsin Governor running as MacArthur delegate.
 In Eau Claire, where Dewey planned a speech today, LaFollette said people can judge Macarthur on his record and don't need to rely on campaign promises
 Faced with highly doubtful outcome in the Wisconsin battle, Dewey pulled out the stops on Communism before capacity crowd of 1,500 in the Milwaukee Theatre last night.

Pulp, Paper Firms Withdraw
 All Bids for Alaska Timber
 Because of Inf. Dept. Policies

SEATTLE, April 2--lR- The trade publication Pulp and Paper said today that firms which had contemplated making bids for two Alaska pulp and paper mill areas have withdrawn from the field because of Department of Interior policies.
 The magazine charged the h. terior Department with intrigue to usurp control of the Alaska forests from the U. s. Forest Service.
 It said officials of the Interior Department, either with or with out the knowledge of Secretary Krug, have consistently given sup port and advice to Washington lobbyists and attorneys for the Rake and Kasaan Indian tribes, who are seeking to establish ab- original claims to Alaska resources. Settling of the Indian claims has been one of the major obstacles reported in projected commercial development of the Alaska timber resources.
 A Ketchikan timber unit for a pulp mill is scheduled for sale by auction in the Forest Service offices in Washington, D. C., April II. Julp and Paper predicted there will be no bids on 1t, nor on the Petersburg Thomas Bay unit. Its sale was postponed re- gently. It is the proposed site for a neWsprint mill
