 ON DEVELOPMENT
FAIRBANKS. Alaska, July 26 tR

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 26-R Permanent residents oi Alaska were assured top priority in all plans for development of the Ter ritory" today by James P. Davis, Director of Territories in the De- partment of Interior.

 During the l949 fiscal year. he said, approximately 37.o00,000 will be available for the Alaska Highway Program, including hard surfacing of portions of trunk highways. He said he believed an equal sum would te available for 1850 road improve ments.

FILL PROGRESSING

The fill roadway being construct ed to Mayflower Island, is pro- gressing with Howard Hayes con- tracting the work. Last week bull dozers were at work moving sand into windrows and this week rock will be hauled to bolster the sand. From now on the fill will be in deeper water ,necessitating a solid rock fill, which is being hauled from the Treadwell stockpiles near by, saving many hauling miles.

Here's why YOU Should VOTE 10 CONTINUE
 TRAPS:

|. Traps mean jobs--no just for 45 days but for six to nine months for approximately 4O0O people, mostly Alaskans.
 2. Traps are the best means of conserving Alaska's salmon.
 3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory would have to levy additional taxes on all other Alaska businesses and individuals. {. Traps, together with mobile gear. allow can nerics to operate efficiently. Without traps, ot least g large canneries would close down because they would be stripped of their de- pcndable supply of fsalmon-thousands of men would lose their jobs.
 $. Traps are vital to Aaska's economy. Conhscate them and you undermine the Terrilorys sta- bility. An unstable region cannot develop diversified economy.
 6. Traps SO stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fishermen ma1imum prices. Conhscate traps and you cut down these earnings. Nobody gains-everyone loses
 '. Traps are vital in maintaining U. 5. world leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con- 6scate them and you so weaken America posi- ton that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing US. built floating canneries, to seize this prize in world trade. The Japanese demonstrated, in l937, by their operations in Bristol Day, that such floating canncrics constitute real threat
 6. Traps represent large investments in venture capital. Con6scatc them and you discourage other industries from investing in Alaska's future.
 9. Traps provide healthy competitions Con6scate them and yov establish gear monopoly in the catching of salmon.
 10. Traps, seines and gill nets ALL THREE TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain Alaska's canned salmon pack. Vary ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it economically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps.

Truman Starts Trip West Next Week
With Problem of Speakers Unsolved

Interior Secretary Krug will soon

there is concentrating on saving its
State tickets from the Republican

One of the few volunteers Of note
is CIO President Philip Murray
Mr.. Murray will stump personally
for Truman wherever he can do the
most good.
The Presidents cabinet will be
only about so per cent effective In
the campaign. AS forecast, the elo-
quent and personable new Secretary
of Labor. Mr.. Tobin, has hardly
warmed his chair at the Labor De-
partment; his speaking schedule is
staggering. Attorney General Clark
and Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
are close behind him. Secretary Of
Agriculture Brannan Is willing. so Is
Postmaster General Donaldson, but
they are not well known nor i'm

Secretary of State Marshall will
be abroad; anyway he is not being
asked for political help. Some hesi-
tation is felt also about tapping
the Department of National Defense
in view of the critical international
situation.
The fact Is that while Secretary
Forrestal is valued asset to the
administration and has always been
cooperative, his Wall Street back

the Middle East mar his political
effectiveness. OF his three depart

and Somaliland. Less than nothing
If that were possible-has been
produced by the long series Of dis
cussions there. What little agree
ment did emerge was so minute as
to be negligible.
AS the time for submission Of the
issue to the United Nations General
Assembly drew near the matter
came into American politics. y. An
articulate element in this country
favors the restoration of the colonies
to Italy under a United Nations
trusteeship which will permit Italy
to exploit and develop them with
out actually holding title to them.
Dewey Made Proposal.
In knowledge Of this important
element in the American electorate,
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey several
weeks ago proposed that the COL
onies be given back to Italy under
the trusteeship plan, and thereupon
drew upon himself the charge by
President Truman that he was
making unfair use Of his knowledge
of the bipartisan foreign policy to
collect the Italian vote. Mr.. Tru-
man further insisted that the mat
ter was one for the United Nations
to settle and not one for domestic
politics.
There the matter rested, with the
expiration date OF September Is
drawing ever closer. The Italian
treaty provided that II agreement on
the disposition of the colonies is not
reached by that date the whole mat
ter is to be referred back to the
General Assembly, a contingency
which American officials have indi-
Gated would not be entirely displeas-
ing to them, considering the Difficult
ties that have been experienced with
the Russians.
We all are entitled to wonder Just
what is behind the Russian game in
proposing new top-level conferences
