 An atomic dispute sizzled in the election battle today as President Truman and Gov. Thomas E. Dew ey fired new campaign charges.
 MT Truman was ballot-bound through Indiana after a Milwaukee address in which he said his Re- publican Presidential foe implies there ought to be private exploit ation" of atomic energy.
 The New York Governor mean while moved his vote hunt into Minnesota from Kansas City where he blasted the Democratic admin istration as too tired" and con fused" to provide good govern ment."
 Dewey spoke on atomic matters three weeks ago in Phoenix, Ariz He said that eventually the dead hand of government" must be lift ed from atomic development--but that the present government mon- oply must be continued until en- forceable world controls are clamp ed on atomic weapons.
 Wallace Is In Too

 The President told his Milwaukee audience that Dewey showed 3 dangerous lack of understanding in bringing the subject Fof atomic energy into the political arena
 While saying that business con- cerns will continue to take an inn portant part in atomic development MT. Truman declared we must moi put profit above the national wei fare"
 Atomic energy, he added, must not be another Tea Pot Dome"

 Until the right kind of inter- rational control is assured we have no choice but to proceed with the development of atomic weapons"
 Dewey told rally in MT. Tru- mans old Kansas City bailiwick that the Democratic adrninistra- tion is coming apart at the seams. ''

AIR DEFENSE FOR ALASKA
 FOR WINTER
Force 10 Be Sent North Is AnnounCed-For Train
 ing Purposes
By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-R- The United States air defense in Alaska this winter apparently will consist of five bombers and one group of about 75 fighters.
 Down at the other end of it's de- fense perimeter, the Panama Canal Zone, there are 12 fighter planes, World War Two type F-61s
 This came to light today in con- nection with an Air Force an- nouncement that three five-plane flights of the new B-50 bombers will rotate on training missions in Alaska between November l and March Is. Under this program, only five of the bombers will be in the area at any one time.
 The only other combat unit in the Polar frontier sector is the fighter group regularly stationed there
 However, Air Force defense plan ming is based on the idea that both fighters and bombers can be flown to Alaska quickly if sud- den military menace developed.
 Forthcoming Missions
 The forthcoming missions of the B-50s will be the first such bomb CTS. have made in organized units to any point outside the country.
 The B-50 is radically changed version of the wartime B-29 It has top speed of 400 miles an hour, a l0-ton bomb capacity and, the Air Force says, can reach tar gets lover 2,300 miles" from the take-off point
 While B-50s have been in use by the Air Force for several months they never have been flown under Arctic conditions This. said the Air Force. is the purpose of the training mission to Alaska, including studies to get the long, est range out of the planes through fuel-conservation technique.
 Similar training was conducted last winter with the older B-29s.
 Panama Canal Deirnse
 Air Force officials told reporter they are unable to discuss future plans for air defense of the Panama Canal But available information shows that the only armed planes presently in the Zone are the 12- plane squadron of all-weather fight CTS.
 The 36th Fighter Wing-an out fit equipped with 75 ESQ jet fight ers-left Panama in August for transfer to Germany to reinforce the single fighter group there.

 TIMBER IN ALASKA

PORTLAND, Oct. l5.-tR-- The CIO International Woodworkers ot America suggested yesterday that Alaskan timber might be better used for saw logs and peeler logs than for paper

 Ire delegates criticized divert ing potential lumber and plywood into pulp" They suggested utilizing waste woods in both Alaska and the continental United States to meet the paper shortage.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-10-15

An open letter from Alaska to the Waterfront Employers Association and the Pacific American Shipown- CTS Association, was read at yester- days meeting of the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce, and caused much discussion. The open letter, signed by Ernest Gruening. Governor Of Alaska; E. L. Bartlett, Delegate; Ralph J. Rivers, Attorney General and Henry A. Benson, Commissioner of Labor, is as follows:
 Gentlemen:
 Since Seattle longshoremen have expressed to Mayor Devin of Se- attle willingness to divorce Alaska from the West Coast maritime tieup by loading and unloading Alaskan ships upon pre-strike terms under a stipulation covering retroactively any gains that might be made un- der a new West Coast agreement, We, the undersigned, acting in be- half of the people of Alaska, urge that the way is now open tor re- sumption of Alaskan shipping serv- ice. Our position is based upon the following points,:
 l. We are assured by William Gettings, Seattle representative oi the C.I.O. unions that Relief Ship restrictions recently referred to as the joker" in the Seattle long shoremen's proposal are not includ- ed in their current offer, but that full job services would be perform ed, including unloading of Alaska ships now in Seattle hareor and future southbound cargoes.
 ?. Contracts gov erning ships personnel for Alaskan ships and longshoremen at all Alaska ports are already in full force and ef- feet.
 3. Although none of the carriers is obliged under the Taft Hartley law to negotiate with the long shoremen until ILWU leaders sign non- communist affidavits, the fact remains that there is nothing tc prevent the carriers from so ne- gotiating if they see fit to do SO As a matter of fact, they have en- gagged in just such negotiations for Ia West Coast agreement over a period of months before the present deadlock with those very same lead CTS. The carriers. as operators oi dock facilities in Alaska, have also concluded agreements with these same unions. John L. Lewis, a known non communist. refused tc sign the affidavit because he chal- lenges the constitutionality of the statutory provision requiring a dec laration of party Yet the coal mines operate, and rightly so, as nc

one in his right mind would con- tend that the nation should freeze until the Supreme Court has rem dered decision.
 With these precedents in mind we contend that the only sensible thing to do if you are really concerned about the plight of Alaska is to cause Alaskan shipping to be re- stunned and carried on until the Supreme Court has ruled. We fee. that you will never purge commun- ists from the ranks of Seattle long, shoremen by prolonging a stoppage to Alaska on technical issue with Harry Bridges of San Francisco Attendant hardship could result in making more communists. Further, as supplies for defense construction in Alaska are halted. the aims ot tEe real and known communists oi the world are being admirably served
 Neither do we see why the hun dreds of loyal longshcremen at Se- attle should be treated as .'un- touchables,' so to speak, just be- cause certain ILWU leaders at San Francisco refuse to sign the affi- davits.
 4. We appreciate that the Seat tie based Alaskan carriers, as mem bers of the Waterfront Employers Association and the Pacific Ameri- can Shipowners Association are pledged to stay united with all other West Coast waterfront employers in refusing to deal with CIO long shore unions until ILWU leaders have signed the non-communist af- fidavits At the time the pledge was entered into it might have looked to members of the shipping industry like sound industry strate- gy to achieve a West Coast objec- tive-especially since it is clear that it is not profitable to operate ships during the present off-season. New ertheless, now that the Seattle longshoremen have offered to di- vorce Alaska from what looms as a long and bitter struggle, the carriers and industry associations should modify their strategy accordingly We in Alaska are no less opposed to communism than are you, but are chiefly concerned with the com munists across Boring Strait. As far as the problem in California is concerned. it should be fought out down there without making Alaska a pawn in the conflict. Logical communist strategy would be to tie up Alaskan shipping at time when relations with Russia are strained
