Declares Second World
War Would Have Been

Been Fully Armed
s.r.asa ps,ussessv xal

WASHINGTON, Aug. Gen
eral George Marshall, former
chief of staff and secretary of
state, testified today before the
House Appropriations Committee
in favor of the bill that is design
ed to provide ST billion $3.50 mil
lion for the rearming of Western
Europe.
He asserted that had this coun-
try been in a position at the be-
ginning of World War II to supply
large quantities of war material
to France, hostilities would have
come to an end six months before
they did and would have saved
the United States $50 billion and
thousands of American lives.
Marshall maintained that the
adoption of the rearming pro-
gram is the third great step in
preserving the peace of the world.
He did not name the other two
steps, but evidently he meant the

to Greece in combating the up

FORESTER URGES NON : RESIDENTS
 10 REPAIR NOW

c. M. Armstrong, district forest ranger, has directed an important memorandum" to all property own CTS adjacent to the Glacier High way.
 Anticipating that paving between Juneau city limits and Duck Greek will begin about May l, Armstrong reminds residents that it will not be possible later, except in unusual cases, to permit excavation of the roadbed to lay water pipes, sewers etc, for either new installations or repairs.
 Such work requiring crossing the highway is requested to be complet- ca before pavement is laid.
 Armstrong suggests the placing of pipes, particularly water pipes, in- side larger diameter pipe (say one inch pipe inside of two-inct one) under the road Should the line require repairs later, the smaller one could fe pulled and replaced with cut having to excavate the road.
 For the necessary free special-uss permits issued by the Forest Serv- ice, requests should be made al Room 4l2, Federal Building.

FEES FOR FISHERMEN
 ARE INCREASED
By BOB DeARMOND

Alaska fishermen, both resident and nonresident, will pay higher license fees henceforth, under bill approved by both the House and the Senate and now enroute to the Governor.
 The bill, which raises the license fee for resident fishermen from $1 to $5 and for non-residents from $25 to $50, passed the Senate yesterday afternoon by vote of IA to 2, Senators Barr and Enge- breth voting against it.
 There was no debate on the bill. An amendment by Senator Garnick to tighten the residency require ments was adopted by a 9-7 vote. The amendment requires that a fisherman, in order to qualify tor a resident license, must not only have lived in the Territory for 12 months, but must ''inhabit the Ter ritory for six months out of every year"
 The new measure also requires licensing of all trap watchmen and of all crew members on fishing ves- sels, including tenders and packers.

NEW TREATY MEANS WAR
 ON. RUSSIA
(By The Associated Press)

tby lllc ASSOCldtcQ IlCSSJ
 Moscow shrilled out today that the North Atlantic Treaty means Wal on the Soviet Union
 What the treaty says is that it could mean war only in case of ag- gression against an alliance mem- Der. Nations of the west accordingly read the treaty as designed for world peace. The point is that it presented a rather formidable barrier against any nation with aggressive designs.
 Secretary of State Dean Acheson said the accord between the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Norway is an answer to "the intoler- able threat" posed by any aggress- or's control of France.
 The U. s. Senate looked at the treaty cautiously but gave signs Of approval of this departure from the American tradition against Euro- pean alliances.
 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin of Britain bluntly called the accord an instrument to block Kremlin ef- forts to rule Europe by fear. He wrote off as failures efforts of the United Nations and the late League of Nations to find an enduring peace.
 Foreign Minister Robert Schuman of France said the accord provided his nation with an effective shield against aggression.
 The treaty is not nearly so bind ing as the commitments Russia all ready has wrested from the iron curtain Communist regimes in Po- land, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czecho- slovakia, Rumania, Yugoslavia and Albania.

HOAX CHARGE E
 HURLED ABOUT BIG
 H0LzWoRTH PARTY

ANCHORAGE March 19.-lR A hoax charge was hurled into the anti-Gruening camp yesterday by Buel Nesbett in connection with the announced plans for flight to Washington opposing Governor Gruening's confirmation for another four year term.
 Nesbett, Anchorage attorney and Democratic leader, charged oppon- ents with putting up windy bat tie" and declared it is time they produce something other than wind"
 His statement was in reply to one by John Holzworth, who said 100 persons including Queen candidates, dog team mushers and their dogs would fly to Washington March 26 in two chartered planes to oppose Gruening.
 Nesbett invited Holzworth to indi- cate what airplanes" will be used; and to name what persons will participate.
 The attorney said it appeared Holzworth "has an ambition of be- coming Orson Welles Jr., through use of his imagination"
 No travel agency or airline has been found which is making arr engagements for the flight" he said.
 Developments further were com- plicated by statement from Don- aid Mcdonald that he knows noth- ing about the flight.
 Officials of the Dog Mushers Or ganization say no invitation has teen extended to them to the best Of their knowledge.
 And as for Queen candidates. :. Well, there are three of them for Alaskas 1949 winter carnival. But the carnival manager, Francis Hom- strom, says the girls are in Holly wood now and won't be home for ten days.
