Alcan Could
 Accommodate Much More Traffic

FAIRBANKS, (H) - A general declared Saturday that in an emergency, military cargo over the Alaska Highway could be in creased 40 times over the present traffic.
 Maj. Gen. Stanley l.. Scott, commander of the Terr;tory's ground forces, made the comment after finishing a Six-day inspec- ton tour of the 2,000 mile route from Edmonton, Alta, to Fair banks with Brig. Gen. Paul F. Yount, assistant army chief of transportation from Washington, D. C.
 Scott said the military now is hauling 1000 tons monthly, most ly perishable priority items, over .the highway to Alaska bases.
 By assignment of the army's biggest trucks and trailers, and by a elerating traffic, shipments could be boosted 10000 tons monthly if necessary" he said.
 Yount said army transportation chiefs are in favor of the recently discussed railroad linking Prince George, B. C., and Fairbanks but i've have no illusions as to its eco- homie worth"
 He said the military value of such railroad would be "obvi- ous."
 Yount later left for Anchorage by train with Col. John. P. John son, general manager of the Alas ka Railroad. He said he planned to visit the ports of Whittier, Sew ard, Kodiak and Adak before starting back to Washington March 19.

Bartenders Start "COld War;

SEATTLE R)-A new cold wa, is brewing in, of all things, tfe ice business.
 First, a contest was announced for this afternoon to decide who is the Pacific Northwest's outstane- ing bartender. But he must make the best use of commercial ice n his connections.
 Next came Pan American Air ways with a ripe idea to cut in on the act. Some quick fence-mend- ing resulted in an airways an nouncement that the Juneau chamber of commerce is going to send a 500-pound block of ice clipped from ages-old Menden- hall glacier. =.
 Anyway, the commercial ice men are going to have a pre-his- toric chunk of stuff they can make their own ice packs out of, if Jun eau's chamber of commerce and Pan Am come through as sched- uled.

Operate On King Georges Leg

LONDON, (R)-King George VI was operated upon at Bucking- ham Palace Saturday in an at- tempt to aid the blood circulation in his ailing right leg.
 The nine doctors who attended the 53-year-old monarch said his condition "is entirely satisfactory" and there is no question of fur ther surgery.
 They hope the operation-call- ed lumbar sympathectomy - will permit the blood to flow more freely to the right foot. It was performed, it was explained, lest gangrene develop and make ann putation necessary.
 King George threw off the eff fleets of the anesthetic half-hour after the operation. His physicians said he would need to remain in bed for about a week, after which there would be period of inac- tivity for convalescence.

Coal Strike Seeks To "Intirnidate and .COerce Senate"
(Contined from Page One)


 miners also are protesting appoint ment of -Dr. James Boyd as direc- tor of the U. s. bureau of mines.
 The idle miners normally work in these ten states: West Virginia Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, Alabama, Ohio, Virginia, Tennes- see, Indiana, and Maryland.
 Lewis order for a work stop page exempted about 32,000 UNIV miners in these states: Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Utah Arkan- sas, Oklahoma, New Mexi c O, Washington, Kansas and Missouri.
 Western state produce only trickle of the nations soft coal. Pennsylvania produces virtually all the anthracite mined in the United States and ranks second af- ter West Virginia as a soft coal producer.
 Tn Washington, Senator Byrd D.-VaO called on the Senate to promptly confirm" Boyd's ap- pointment "as reply" to the mine shutdown. He added:
 "As the nomination of Dr. Boyd is now before the Senate for con- firmation, the strike order is noth- ! ing less than an attempt to coerce and intimidate the Senate of the United States ."
 The miners may find time hanging heavily on their hands. In other years such holidays" come later in the season when the men could do spring gardening, go fishing or to the baseball, parks But it was too cold today.
 Lewis, 69 year old leader of the united mine workers, last Friday ordered the pits closed down from today until March 28.
 The first effects of the work stoppage came in the railroad in dustry. Eleven railroads furlough- ed 57,425 workers. They're em- ployed by railroads who get big chunk of their freight revenue from hauling coal. Steel industries will not be hit immediately. They have large supplies of coal above ground. The national coal stock pile totals an estimated 70,0O0,O0O tons. That's the most coal above ground in any spring since 1922 It's good for about 45 days.

Opinion Varies On Presidents State
 Of Union Message
CBy The Associated Press)

NDy IUe President Truman'S state of the union message to Congress We'd nesday has drawn a varying re- sponse of sharp criticism and praise from a cross section of American newspapers
 Sample editorial comment: Chicago Sun-Times: "Economic dcmocracy-an idea as old as America, but one which demands new applications for the 2Oth cen tury America-.hat is MT Tru- mans message We believe he has the people behind him in pro- claiming it.
 New York Herald Tribune: MT. Truman's proposals do not total up to a consistent economic or so- cial strategy, in terms either of the planned economy or of the enter prise system. Moderate as it is in tone and at least superficially CO., ordinated, il is still a 'rag-bag' message in the Truman tradition, and its several parts will have to take their several chances unsup- ported by any single, consisten' view of the issues of our times"
 Philadelphia Inquirer: Tt is reasonable to interpret this mes sage as an effort 10 reaSsure business that there will be no reckless crack-dOWns. No blows al the essence of our free enterprise system"
 Chicago Tribune: His legisla-
 i've proposals are for the same ruinous socialism that he advo- cated on the stump. . There are enough intelligent members in/the new Congress, it is fervently to be hoped, to turn down most of MT. Truman's unsound proposals. If there are not, the people of the Uni'ed States are in for bad two years"
 New York Times: We do not see eye-to-eye with the President on the Taft-Hartley act' or "sup- port of farm prices .. But-these two points eXcepted-We find our selves in agreement with the pur- poses at which MT. Truman is aim- ing Better housing, better health, better schools, broader so- cial security, more areas reclaim ed, as IVA has reclaimed one mammoth valley - surely these are all proper objectives
 Los Angeles Times: He has de- manded more of Congress than anybody could accomplish if it re- mained in continuous session throughout his four-year term. |. If Congress takes him al his word the nation is in for a tough and disturbing time"
