(By James Hutcheson)

Associated Press Staff Writer)
 Unanimous U. s. Senate con- firmation of Governor Greuning for a third term at Juneau had ob- servers asking the question Satur- day: What happened to the oppo- Sition?
 The Senate action came Friday, only a day after its interior affairs committee had made a unanimous recommendation for confirmation.
 It came as surprising climax to the confirmation controversy that led the Senate committee to delay action for nearly two months.
 Alaskans who participated in the eleventh hour cam D g n against the confirmation had ex- pected the vote to be close on the committee, and possibly in the Senate, although not many of them had much hope of actually block Ing the Senate'S approval.
 But the unanimous action hi them as a bolt out of the blue.
 The Republican Senator who had been expected by the Gruen- ing foes to lead the opposition on the committee was Sen. Hugh But Ter (R.-NebD But he was not pres ent when the committee voted. Neither was Senator Gordon CR.- Ore.)
 After conclusion of the Senate hearing, which drew groups of pro and anti-Gruening Alaskans to Washington, one of the anti

Congress Roundup

WASHINGTON, CP) - A S15,- 909,l16,80O national defense money bill was approved Saturday by a House committee with blunt warning that America must try to avoid trouble by being ready for it.
 There was no hint that the United States is on the verge of war. On the contrary, many mili- tary leaders said the situation was better now than last year.
 But all agreed that some unpre- dictable event might suddenly eX plOde into conflict.
 The record postwar military budget was more than half a bill lion dollars higher than President Truman requested, and over five billion dollars more than the total spent in fiscal 1949.
 It finances the army, navy and air force for the year starting July 1. Approved by the House appro- priations committee, it now goes before the House.
 Of the three services, the air force got the most-S6,21 ,789,000 to provide 44O,OOO officers and men in 58 air groups Gnstead of the 48 planned in the Presidents budget0 These would include 20 bombardment groups, ' reconnaiS- sance groups, A fighter groups and troop carrying groups with first line planes.
 The navy was second with $5,- 018,873,600. This branch of serv- ice would have 527,300 men in cluding 85,700 marines. The fleet would consist of 731 ships the battleship Missouri, 8 heavy car rierS II escort and light carriers, 18 cruisers, ITO destroyers and de- stroyer escorts, 80 submarines, 99 mine craft and patrol craft, 260 auxiliary vessels. A $l89,000,000 super-air-craft carrier also is planned.
 The bill provides the army with $4, ,481 ,834,20O for a military force of 677,000, plus additional thou sands in the national guard and reserve units.

To every Eighth District village and farm.
(Some viii be saying this meter is
Doesn't resemble the poem paul Revere!)
A Rescue Squad was seriously needed
So the Red Cross Instructor carefully needed
And thru many hours of hard work and study
About half the Department could help out Buddy
Or any else in trouble or pain
And called knowledge again and again
When property's burned the loss can be mended
But naught be done when human lifes ended
We learned respiration and blood pressure points
Putting spnts and bandagmg joints
Of the good that did, many could tell
Including the lady Spence saved from the well!
When the time came for young men We're ready
To the call while old held steady
We went to alarms, had fire house guard
With the ladies to help and each tried hard
To take full share in Civilian Defense
And watch controls spread Tations and rents
We are prayerfuly thankful that from foreign scenes
All returned, soldiers, sailors, marines.
They don't tell of hardhips calls they had
But know they faced dangers had good times and bad
And true to traditions of Country dear
Tho bad wounds and sickness made it quite clear
That the patriots burden carried by all
Brave duty done till they sounded recall.
We when they back many decorations unfur
But I'll only mention Purple Heart for the Earl!
Well sing praise of fireman of very good heart
He paid with hard earned cash
And that meal like this much better than hash!
So this is the outline of twenty-five years
We've had full share of hard knocks and cheers
We hardly guess what the future will bring
To the world, to this Coutry to Sandy Spring
But be- of Volunteer Firemen call
Freely giving time to be helpful to all
And with such institutions will always
Free living bravely in this land Of the free!
