BIG AIR FORCE E MORE IMPORTANT
 UMT, SAYS 5ECY.
President Truman Differs Argument Made by
 Burlington

WASHINGTON, April . 15.-tR-- President Truman said today he does not know why Air Force Sec retary Symington is differing with the Administrations recommenda- tions on size of the air forces.
 Asked whether he plans to "spank" Symington for proposing 70-group air force, MT. Truman said he will have to answer that later
 Defense Secretary Forrestall pre- viously had asked for smaller force, along with universal military training and a draft. MT. Truman had called this a balanced program which the nation can afford.
 The President told news confer ence he is supporting to the limit the defense program outlined by Forrestal.
 Symington told the House Armed Services Committee Tuesday that an air force of 70 groups is more impor- tant to the country's security than UNIT.
 House members have shown they favor a larger air force than pro- posed by Forrestal. They have be- gun legislation looking to TO- group force rather than 55-group force the Defense Department has suggested.

CITY BOND ISSUE WON'T NEED EXTRA
 TAX, SAYS MAYOR
Mayor w. E. Hendriekson Explains Proposed Bond
 Issue to Juneau {. of (.

Mayor W. E. Hendrickson told the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today that the proposed $275,000 bond issue will not require addition al taxes for the City of Juneau. The Mayor had been invited to attenc the regular weekly Chamber of Com merce luncheon meeting.
 Mayor Eerldrickson explained that present tax levies will be suffi- cient to pay for the bond issue. The issue will be decided at a special election here on April 29, two days after. the Territorial primaries.
 voters will have an opportunity, he said, to vote yes or mo" on two propositions at the election. One proposition will ask for sl50,- GOO. bond issue to be used for street improvements. The other will ask for sl25,ooo to be used for construc- ton of a new City Jail, Fire Hall and central heating plant.
 69 Blocks To Pave
 
 The street improvement project would include 10 blocks of resurfac- ing and 59 blocks of new paving in / asphalt. The work would also consist of moving light and tele- phone poles, installation and repairs to r1anholes, water mains, sewers and street drains.
 The street improvements, said the Mayor, would be made where the traffic is the heaviest. He declared that. the installation of these inn proyements would bring about a considerable reduction in costs of street maintenance.
 The combined Fire Hall and Jail, explained the Mayor, would be the first part of an improved City cen- ter. Later, he said, new City Hall will be erected to replace the present 35 year old outmoded structure. The City now has $35,ooo in U. s. Gov

Arguments in Conte m pt Trial Made Today-Courf
 Takes Adjournment

WASHINGTON, April 15.-tR-- Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today heard arguments in John L. Lewis contempt trial and put off any de- cision until Monday.
 Assistant Attorney General H. Graham Morrison argued for the government that Lewis and the United Mine Workers were clearly in contempt of court for continuing a coal mine stoppage for week af ter court order was issued for it to end.
 Attorneys for Lewis made only a one sentence argument;
 "The government has failed to prove its case.
 That came from Welly K. Hop kins, chief of the eight-man battery of counsel Lewis has
 Goldsborough then adjourned court until Monday.
 Now the only thing left in the contempt case is the judges ruling and the punishment if the ruling is for conviction.
 When court was adjourned, Hop k.ns and Lewis went into a whisper cd huddle. Then the mine chief and his small army of lawyers filed si- lently out of the room.
 In his argument, Morrison hit hard at Lewis position that no coal strike ever was called.
 The government attorney said that contention was an "affron. to common sense.'

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
i948, by The Bell Syndicate.

 WASHINGTON = John L. Lewis has a cute habit of playing one political party off against the oth- CT. Sometimes it works. sometimes it backfires. Therefore it will be interesting to watch the repercus- sions from his use of Speaker Mar tin and Senator Bridges. Will 1t help or hurt their political fu- lures?
 In 1886 Lewis put up half mil- lion dollars of his unions money to elect FDR. Then, four years later, he went on a nationwide broadcast to. urge labor to defeat Roosevelt.
 That broadcast backfired.
 The public, of course, didn't know it was paid for by w. R. Da- wis, who sold oil to the Nazis and whom German officials, captured after the war, said had been paid to defeat Roosevelt. Goering even mentioned Lewis by name as one of those used to try to. defeat Roosevelt. But though the pub lie, didn't know these things till later, they distrusted Lewis turn court advice and voted the other way.
 Again in 1946, Lewis threw his weight against the reelection of Senator Kilgore of West Virginia which also backfired. West Vir- giria miners ignored Lewis advice voted for Kilgore.

LEWIS AND DEWEY

Again last June, Lewis staged another backstage maneuver. Cud- ding up to Governor Dewey's friends, he was able to pull one of the biggest wage boosts in re- cent history, plus welfare fund, plus almost everything else he wanted from both the J. P. Morgan steel interests and the Mellon family coal interests.
 The U. S. Government, previous ly in control of the mines. had been trying to keep wages and prices down. But the minute the mines were turned back to private opera tion, the Melons and Morgans gave Lewis big wage hike. and smaller coal operators had to do likewise. An inflationary increase in the price of both coal and steel follow ed immediately.
 According to coal-industry in-

The armed forces are now only
about 10000 men short of the number
for which President Truman present

that because we need 10000 men,
which in itself is not proven and can
not be proven satisfactorily, we must
resort to INFLAMMATION and
