Legion "Alarmed'' At Withdrawal
 From Aleutians

ANCHORAGE, (P)-The Alaska department of the American Le- zion yesterday urged restoration of all military forces at Aleutian Island bases and strengthening of all defenseS to keep the doors per manently closed to any possible aggressor."
 The plea was sent to secretary of defense Louis. Johnson and other high government officials by Perry McClain, department commander.
 He said the department was alarmed by the withdrawal of troops from the Aleutians and abandonment of bases on the is land chain.
 "This is an invitation for an ag- gressor to repeat the invasion tac- tics used by the Japanese in the last war;" McClain wired. "Cir- cumstances elsewhere in the world may not allow our nation suffi- cient time to amass men and mu- nitions sufficient to recapture its own land"

Non Communist affidavit
required by new state bill

A ''non-Communist'' oath for
all public employees in the state
would be required under the
terms of bill just introduced
in the state assembly.
The bill excerpts only those
whose oath of office is prescribed
by the constitution.
The measure was tossed into
the hopper by State Rep. George
S. Brydia, Republican from
Prophetstown, and, if passed,
would become effective Jan. l.,
1850.
Any such employee taking the
oath falsely or refusing to take
it would be discharged imme-
diately, the bill states.

scribed:

the last hope for large-scale

gone.
However, Sidney Ordower,

this argument was completely

HIini YPA chapter is given
okoy by faculty comittee

The University of Illinois fac
ulty committee on student af-
fairs this week voted to grant
complete recognition to the
Illini chapter, Young Progress
sives of America, according to
Bert Wolfman, chapter chair
man.
Prof Harry S. Fuller, chair
man of the faculty committee,
announced the decision, which
represented a reversal of the
earlier demand that YPA lead
ers sign affidavits affirming that
they were not Communists, did
not advocate overthrow of the
COVER m mt and were not
fronting for American Youth
for Democracy, now dissolved.
The earlier rejection of Illini
YPA requests for recognition
had been based on the CIabaugh
Act, passed by the 1947 session
of the Illinois legislature. Chap
ter members conducted a vigOr-
Gus campaign against the at
tempt to apply the Clabaugh
Act to their group.
Wolfman said recognition
means the YPA chapter will
have a desk in the Union build
ing, as we'll as use of campus
bulletin board and other facili-
ties, including theatres and
auditoria. Plans are already
under way for the first large
YPA campus meeting, to be held

Meeting I'm Blue

Auditorium; President
Truman To Speak

WASHINGTON, April AT
$50 o'clock this afternoon outside
the blue and gold government
auditorium, the United States
Marine Band began a concert.
and when it was concluded at 3
O'Clock, all representatives Of the
IL member nations Of the North
Atlantic Alliance had arrived in
the building to begin signing the
pact, after each delegate had
made a short address. Secretary
of State Dean Acheson represents
the United States.
The addresses and the signing
are expected to be over by 4:40
o'clock when President Truman
is scheduled to speak. Besides the
delegates, 1900 diplomats, con-
gressmen and other dignitarieS
will hear the President speak in
the auditorium, and countless
millions will hear him through
out the world, including listen
ers behind the Iron Curtain. Be
sides, the speech and the atten-
dants will be televised.
Population of the nations rep
resented in the pact totals 332,-
100000, as compared with 275,-
100000 in Russia and her safer
lite nations.
The formal signing of the pact
will not mean its adoption by any
of the nations represented. Be
fore the pact is binding on the
signing nations, it must be ratifi-
ed by the parliaments or other
ratifying power of the nations. In
the United States, the ratification
requires a two-thirds vote of the
senate.
Russia is still Tuning about the
alliance. Radio Moscow said that
the Kremlin had rejected the
answers of the IL nations to her
note of a few days ago, as 'inad-
equate and without adherence
to the facts in the case" The ra-
, dio spokesman declared that the
pact is aimed Enthusiastically at
Russia, and nothing in the an
swers from the IL nations proved
that such is not the case. The
Kremlin was particularly denun-
ciatory in It's replies to Norway
I and Denmark, where communist
, groups, under the direction OF
Russia, had tried to break up
meetings when action was taken
by those countries to enter the
/ alliance.
