Senate Passes BM For Big Combat Air Force
Alaska Republicans May Send Two Delegations 10
 Philadelphia Convention


 FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 6.-iR'
 The possibility that Alaska may send two delegations to bid for recognition at the National Re- publican Convention at Philadel- phia June 2l was raised today as a result of a second call for Ierri- torial convention.
 The standing party split was widened by the announcement that Elton Engstrom, Juneau chair man of the Territorial Republican Central Committee, had issued a convention call for May Is at Sit- ka.
 Earlier, Sig Breolie, secretary of the Fourth Division Republican Club, had issued a call for a convention the first week in June at Mount Mckinley National Park on behalf Of rank and file Re- publicans Of Alaska
 Commenting on Engstrom5 call, Maurice Johnson, Divisional par ty leader and a member of the Alaska House, contendec its the same old run-around."
 AS long ago as February, the rank and file of Republicans asked in a resolution for a convention call with at least 30 days notice, he said. The Central Committee consistently refused so we were obliged to call the convention in order to give full representation for all members of our party"
 Johnson said Engstrom's conven- tion call provides for less than two weeks notice. He said this would not give enough time to arrange delegations and transportation from all parts of the Territory.
 If two delegations are sent tc the National Coilyei tion, sia one recognized by that hody will con- rrol party machinery in the Terri tory.

SHIP CASE,
 GOING UP, CONGRESS
Plans for Operation Of
 Steamers to Alaska Ready for Action

WASHINGTON, May 6.-tR- Legislation to extend the present plan for steamship operation to Alaska until December 3l, l949, was ready today for Congress.
 Rep Tollefson R-Wash), mem- Der of the special House committee studying Alaskan transportation problems, said his resolution for the extension also would lay down the principle that it is the in- tention of Congress eventually to bring about resumption of pri- vate. competitive steamship service to the Territory.
 He said the resolution says Con- gress wants this done to aid the economy of the Territory, increase the civilian population and to pre- pare the Territory for adequate na- ticnal defense.
 The resolution, he said, would provide that the Maritime Con- iillSciOll l4ldg tlitCl lltO dSltttiitAie with American Steamship Com panies to operate the service from June 30, when the present plan expires, with American ships chart cred to them by the commission.
 The companies may receive not more than Is percent of the total operating revenue and 10 percent of the revenue before taxes from the revenue of their own ships.
 Either the operators or the com mission may terminate the agree ment on 90 days notice.
 Tollefson said the measure is compromise reached after dis cussion between the commission, operators and representatives of Alaska, and that all had agreed to it.

 Conclusion of this deal will mean that, for all practical purposes, Juan D. Perons fascist Argentina has supplanted Brazil as our chief South American ally.

Guaranteed Lifeline
For Jerusalem Jews
Demanded by Israel

An Israeli demand for a cor
rider" to link the new Jewish state
with Jerusalem if the Holy City
Is internationalized under q United
Nations regime was indicated here
yesterday.
Eliahu Epstein, Israeli representa-
tive here. told a news conference
that Israel never has objected to
Observation-Disclosures Of Jerusalem
but does feel that the 100000 Jews
there should not be cut of from
any physical. spiritual or cultural
ties that link it so strongly with
the rest of Israel"
I'VE want a guaranteed lifeline,
a kind of corridor or something Of
the kind" he said.
Proposed by Bernadotte.
United Nations rule of Jerusalem
was one Of the proposals in the
final report of Count Folke Berna-
dotte, assassinated United Nations
mediator in Palestine, urging that
the U. N. force q settlement Of the
Jewish Arab conflict there.
Mr.. Epstein noted that Secretary
of State Marshall has urged accept
ance of the Bernadotte report as
"a fair basis" for peace in Palestine.
He said Israel welcomes every con-
tribution" to peace, but made clear
opposition to some points in the
Bernadotte proposals.
Count Bernadotte proposed that
the Negeb desert, allotted the Jews
under the original U. N. partition
plan, be turned over to the Arabs
and that Western Galilee, assigned
to the Arabs, be recognized as Jew
ish territory.
I'VE don't necessarily see West
ern Galilee as a substitute for the
Negeb," Mr.. Epstein declared. While
it Is richer than the desert country,
he said, it does not provide as much
opportunity for development and
immigration.
Calls Staying Blow to Peace.
He described the brutal murder"
Of Count Bernadotte as q blow
against the hopes of all peace
loving peoples. Israel has blamed
the Stern Gang for the assassina-
ton.
Mr.. Epstein said dissolution Of
American organizations which have
supported the Sternists and other
"dissidents" in Palestine would be
welcomed.
an the United States as in every
other country men Of good will have
often been deceived and induced to
provide support for the grim terror
of handful OF men in Israel" he
said. To-day these men are outlaws.
They should be regarded as outlaws
by civilized peoples throughout the
world"
Mr.. Epstein has just returned
from a three-week trip to Israel for
consultation with his government.
