 ASHINGTON-- Three promin- ent Republicans discussed a sub stitute for conscription the other morning over their bacon and eggs. They were: House Speaker Joe Martin, West Virginia's Con- gressman Mel Snyder and New Jerseys Congressman Frank Mat hews.
 Snyder and Mathews argued that defense dollars could be better spent to strengthen the National Guard and Reserve. The Speaker gave his blessing to the idea, but suggested also using limited draft to prod recalcitrants into the National Guard and the Reserve We already have a backlog of 10 to 12 million battle-trained vet erans," Snyder pointed out. Com pulsory training would just in- crease the backlog"
 What the country needs, urged the West Virginia Republican, is not a big draft but an efficient reserve program. America already has plenty of civilian minute-men but lacks a program to keep them up to date and on their toes. Under peacetime conscription, masses o1 young men would simply march through the military mill and fol- low the steps of the wartime vet erans back into civilian life-witt , no place to keep their military skills sharpened.
 Rep. Snyder agreed that fresh blood must be brought into the

Wage Break in Auto Industry
lBy The Associated Pressl

General Motors Corp, today off cred the CIO United Auto Work CTS a wage increase in excess of six cents an hour, according to re- liable sources in Detroit.
 The first break in the General Motors deadlock came a few hours after Gov. Kim Sigler stepped in- to the 13-day-old Chrysler strike and brought both sides back to the bargaining table.
 The UAW-CIO confirmed that a General Motors wage offer had heen made. They did not say how much it was or whether it was acceptable. The Corporation kept silent. The UAW-CIO had threat ened to strike GM Friday.
 However, it was learned from well informed sources that the General Motors offer was better than Chrysler's six cent an hour bid of several weeks ago.
 Speculation in the industry has been that GM might be willing to settle at from eight to 12 cents, probably about 10.
 The average wage in the indus try is about $l.50 an hour The UAW-CIO had asked 25 cents an hour. raise from GM and 30 cents from Chrysler.
 Meanwhile, members of the Clearinghouse Workers Union streamed back to work at all but a few of the meat plants struck March 16. The union, which claims 100000 members, accepted packers terms, including a nine-cent raise.

NO HIWAY PAVING
 SOON, ACCORDING TO INTzLEMAN
Regional Forester Reports on Recent Trip 10 Wash
 ington, D. (.

Many things, pertaining to Alas ka, were discussed with Department of Agriculture officials in Washing ton, D. c. by Regional Forester B. F. Heintzleman who has just re- turned from there where he also attended a meeting of Regional Foresters.
 Heintzleman revealed that he doesn't believe that it win be pos sible to secure the necessary funds for paving the Glacier Highway from Juneau to the Airport this year. He said that there are many de- mands for Federal money and that so much of it is being spent. that his hopes are not very high to get the necessary $500,00o this year. Few Funds Available
 He also reported that the Forest Service does not expect to get much in the way of funds for other For est highways this year He expects about the same amount as last year which will just about take care of maintenance costs and permit little new construction. He also said that the Forest Service will probably be allowed only the same small amount, for trail construction and maintenance as last year.
 Heintzleman was particularly gratified at the appropriation for the Turnagain Arm highway. It was included in the Interior Department budget rather than under the Pulp lie Roads Administration. He has been working on this project for several years because it will open vast areas of the Chugach National Forest.
 He was also satisfied with sne new law, made by Congress, to authorize the issuance of 30 year permits for hotel and resort sites up to 80 acres in National Forests.
 Big Research Program
 The Regional Forester was also pleased with the granting of various research programs for Alaska includ- ing the expansion of .agricultura'l research in the Interior. creation of Forest research program and research program by the Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Ser vice to devise means for protecting salmon spawning streams from large logging operations.
 He said that Ray Taylor, who spent ten years here previously, will be returned to Alaska next month to conduct the forest research pro- gram. The research program will study problems of growth and regeneration.
 Heintzleman also revealed that his former position of Commissioner for the Department of Agriculture for Alaska has been re-activated He will coordinate all Alaska agen- cies of the U. s. Department of Agriculture and make the necessary recommendations to the Secretary. He said that these agencies include the Forest Service. Soil Conserva- ton Service, Plant Quarantine Bu- reau, Rural Electrification Admini- stration and about six research bu- reaus.
 To Make Aerial Map
 An agreement was also reached in Washington between the Forest Service, Geological Survey and the Navy to make an aerial map of all Southeast Alaska this year. The Navy expects to begin the mapping next month.
 On the pulp and paper situation, Heihtzleman reported that there are no new developments. He said how ever, that there is still much interest in the problem and he hopes that the difficulties will be overcome soon.
