Senator

GREENSBORO, N. C. (ANP)
A new South is here, Senator
Kefauver of Tennessee declared
here last week.
"Dixie is. sending more and more
liberal senators and representatives
to Congress-" he said. estate legis-
latures are taking wholesome steps
in civil liberty fields to protect
the rights of their minorities. It's
a trend = a definite trend.
"Who's responsible? Why I
think it's the leadership in the
churches, increased organization Of
labor in the South and certainly
better methods Of farming.
"There was atime in the south
when any candidate for political
office felt he had to be ultra-re-
dictionary and damn labor and the
Negro before he got started. I
think that spirit has been greatly
changed if not entirely broken"

NINETRApS
 ARE CLOSED
 THIS SEASON
Mainland Shore of Eastern District Closed 10 Fish,
 ing Except Trolling
By VERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-tR- Alaskans who voted last year for the gradual elimination of fish traps from Territorial waters will realize a part of their goal next summer.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service said today that for local conserva- tion reasons nine traps along the mainland in the Eastern District where the salmon runs have been most seriously depleted-will be closed.
 All other types of fishing in the same waters. except trolling, are likewise prohibited in order that the runs may be rebuilt.
 Gradual elimination of fish traps was approved by an 8to-1 majority of Alaskan voters in territorial referendum.
 Seton Thompson, chief of Alaskan fisheries for the Fish and Wildlife Service, said in announcing 1949 AL askan commercial fishing regula- tions that an act of congress would be necessary to complete such ac- ton. Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska) has introduced legislation for their elimination.
 Several major changes have been incorporated into the regulations for Southeast Alaska, Thompson said.
 The general trap and seine sea- sons were set for Aug. 22-Sept. 3 in the Icy Strait, Western and Easterl, Districts, and for Aug. 15-Sept. 3, in the Sumner Strait, Clarence Strait Southern and South Prince of Wales districts.
 SHORT SEASON NECESSARY
 "Drastically short though these seasons appear when compared to past years, they are nevertheless necessary to conserve and rebuild the severely depleted pink salmon resources in the Southeastern Alas ka area Thompson said. "Addi- tional fishing time will be granted wherever an abundance of pink salmon occurs in excess of spawn ing requirements"
 The use of power in gill-net boats in Bristol Bay again is prohibited
 The agency also ruled that all Alaskan fishing boats, excepting those fishing exclusively for halibut must be registered with the Fish and Wildlife Service before each sea- son.
 Power boats must display theli name or number on top for identi- fication by airplanes.

 E SIGNED
 BY EGYPT
Great Victory for New Jew ish State- Middle East
 Peace Assured
(By The Associated Press)

Egypt signed g general armistice today with Israel on terms giving the new Jewish state a great vic- tory and an established place in the Middle East.
 The six other Arab states, which have warred sporadically against the Jews since last May, began dropping quickly in line, despite their loud avowals last spring to destroy the new country. A lasting peace seemed near between the Jews and Arabs in the strategic area.
 The Jews kept most of their gains in fighting of October and Decem- Der including Arab Beersheba. They got nearly all the Negev Desert in Southern Palestine, for which they have ambitious colony plans.
 Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok of Israel said the armistice would be a "momentous event in the life of the Middle East" It was diffi- cult for Jewish officials to contain their jubilation.
 The armistice was a considerable achievement for the United Nations.

 with Subpoena

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-tR- An American woman writer, Anna Lou use Strong, deported from Russia on espionage charges, has arrived here. She landed at La Guardia Field from Paris this morning.
 Two FBI agents met her at the field and handed her federal subpoena requiring her appearance before a grand jury Investigating Communism. No date for her ap- pearance was specified.
 The Nebraska born journalist told newsmen she was not guilty of Russia's charge.
 She said the charges were the result of war hysteria which she blamed mostly on the American press.
 Mss Strong was examined 45 minutes by immigration authorities, then the FBI agents questioned her for half an hour. After that cus- toms inspectors examined her Tor 30 minutes.
 Then protesting that she was be- ing forced to do so by pressure of newsmen, Miss Strong turned a haggard face toward a battery of cameras, lights and micropnones Said she:f
 T have not done anything aganst the security of the Soviet state or any other state, either by espionage or sabotage"
 She continued: T was very ener- getically searching for information which I considered part of my journalistic task, and if the Soviet government chose to consider this espionage, there is nothing I can do about it."

SEES SLIDES TAKEN ON
 JUNEAU ICE GAP

Pictures of great snow towl surrounded by craggy peaks rising Iup to mile above the snow fields were shown on the screen to Cham Der of Commerce members this noon at the Baranof Hotel. The bowl of snow which slopes down from the sides of the jagged outcroppings of rock was found by members of an American Geographic Society expedition which went into the high reaches between Twin Glacier Lake and Devils Paw, late last summer.
 AS side issue of a geological re- search trip, the expedition investi- gated possibilities for year-round skiing in the ice cap area above the end of Taku Inlet.
 The Chamber has been especially interested in the possibilities of a development of the area for tourist attraction.
 pr. R. H. Williams, program chairman for the meet, introduced Thomas, who was an expedition member.
 Business was whisked through in quick order by President Fred Eas- !taugh and with the reading of sev- leral communications ny Secretary Herb Rowland, the meeting was turned over to the program. Rowland read letter to be sent !by the Chamber to NLRB asking for a quick decision in the Juneau Spruce Corp.-Int'l Longshoremen's dispute
 The letter sights the economic dependency of the people of Ju- lneau on the mills operation, and the loss of money to all concerned urging the board to hand down a decision at the first possible mo- ment. The Chamber further pointed out that it was making no attempt to define the merits of the case from ieither viewpoint, but was merely asking for haste in dispensing a decision to avoid a possible suspen- sion of entire operations by the company.
 A letter from Haines asking for cooperation in development of tour list trade routed through the Haines cutoff via barge was read. House of Representatives also isent bread and butter" letter to the Chamber with hearty thanks for the organizations hospitality in in

DIST. ENGINEER FOR GEO. SURVEY
 NOW IN JUNEAU

Transferred from Bismarck, N. D.. where he was district engineer for North Dakota and South Dakota, Ralph E. Marsh arrived in Juneau |on the Baranof
 Marsh will be district engineer oi the Water Resources Division of the Geological Survey with offices in Juneau. The sub-oftice is in Palm CT for south central and interior Alaska.
 Principal work of the district en- gineers office at the present time is the establishing of water gaugine stations on streams in south-central, southeastern and interior Alaska, said Marsh. Several of the present stations have been operated off and on for years by the Forest Service.
 During the past two years, old stations have been reestablished and new ones put in. AS soon as weather permits. all water gauging stations will be visited. There are approxi- mately 37 and most of them are in south central and southeastern AL aska," continued Mash.
 "Proposed work is the building of stilling wells to house recording gauges. These gauges record the water level of stream. Along with the recording gauges, a current meter is used to tell the speed of the current flow. Using the two fig ures. the amount of water past the given point can be arrived at and can be converted into acrefeet.
 "The water gauging stations are to determine the water flow of the various streams for power studies and for domestic supply. The figures might later be used for irrigation and flood control. The Bureau ot Reclamation would use the figures for irrigation work" said Maj .h.

 PLAN WILL
 BE PUSHED
Truman Urges European Recovery Aid UntiI As
 sured- Address Tonight

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-LR- President Truman declared today that the Marshall Plan should be pushed forward until European re- covery is assured-the full four years Eff necessary, but with due recogni- tion that it may take less time. He expressed pleasure over the Israel-Egypt armistice. And he told a news conference that he isn't taking back a word or a letter-of his denunciation of tcritics of his official family. When reporters asKea what re- action had been received to his Tuesday night speech declaring that mo SOB" was going to tell him whom to hire or fire in the govern ment, MT. Truman grinned. The reactions, he said, were very satisfactory to him.
 Drew Pearson, co u m n S t and radio commentator, had criticized MT. Truman's army aide, Maj Gen Harry H. Vaughan, for accepting a decoration from President Peron ot Argentina.
 The Marshall Plan comment was called forth by questions about yes- terday's statement from a British spokesman in the United Nations, to the effect that Britain has reached
 the point of ceasing to be concerned
 with recovery and is now interested
 in long-range concerns of the Unit
 eu Kingdom.
 When Mir Truman was aske q
 whether he felt the United States should curtail foreign aid accord
 ingly, he replied seriously that he
 was very happy over the British progress toward recovery.
 But he said he could not answer
 the question whether aid should be continued In general, he went on,
 the Marshall Plan should be con-
 tinued until recovery is assured. He indicated the administration is pressing hard for early passage of a new three-year extension of reciprocal trade agreements act The White House is anxious to have it approved by Congress by March 5 | if possible.
 Work is being pressed also, he in- dicated, on his plan for compulsory health insurance. Within two or three weeks, the President said, 9
 detailed message will be sent to the Capitol.
 President Truman has two speak ing dates for tonight. He'll talk at two Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners in Washington-but he's expected tc eat at only one of them. Prelident .Trumans address to the Jefferson-Jackson Day banquets will be broadcast by station KINY from the lines of the Columbia Broadcasting System at 9:30 pm Juneau time.

Jews, Arabs Both Suffer Casualties

TEL AVIV, Israel, (P) - Fresh bloodshed in a JeWish-Iragi battle left IsraePs front tense yesterday.
 Israeli and Iragi troops fought for two hours Monday on the po tentially explosive Sharon Valley sector. Both sides suffered casual ties.
 An army spokesman said a Jew iSh punitive expedition clashed with Iraqi regulars. Jews said the Israel; troops were hunting Arab raiders accused of killing two set tiers, Kidnapping two women and rustling cattle in the area of Tira, a Jewish village l6 miles northeas. of Tel Aviv.
 (Tira lies in Israel about a mile west of the Arab-Jewish partition line.)
 The central front has been quiet under the United Nations truce for weeks, while attention centered on warfare in the south between Israel and Egypt. another of the Arab nations which sent troops in- to Palestine last spring.
 However, an Arab League re- port from Cairo that Iraqi troops had been ordered to join the Egyptians in the renewed fighting drew official attention here last Wednesday. An Israeli army spokeman said: Many Israeli commanders will be only too hap py if the Iraqi army commanders . start fighting"

Selective Service Regulations

SelectiVe Service regiStrants are relu.-ed 5y law to keep their local boa-d informed when they change their address after they become 26 years of age, as well as before.
 John l.. Mccormick gave the foregoing reminder today in dis cussing what he said was a gan eral misunderstanding as to re- sponsibility of registrants who are beyond the age of liability for service.
 Men cannot be inducted after they reach 26 under the Selective Service Act of 1948," MT. McCor- mick said, "but that does not mean they are relieved from obH- gation to keep their local boards informed as to new address, where they may be reached by mail. in other words"
 MT. Mccormick quoted from Section Is of the Selective Service Act of 1948 as follows:
 Tt shall be the duty of every reg;Strant to keep his local board informed as to his current address and changes in status as required by such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Presi- dent'.'
 The following regulations issued by the President are applicable, MT Mccormick said
 II. shall be the duty of each registrar. to keep his local board advised al all times of the address where mail will reach him. The mailing of any order, notice, or blank form by the local board to registrant at the address last re- ported by him to the local board shall constitute notice to him of the contents of the communica- ton, whether he actually receives it or not"
 "The wording is clear" MT. Mo Cormick said, "and plainly indi- cates the intent of Congress-al- though a man can't be drafted af- ter he is 26, his responsibilities under the Act aren't over when he reaches that age"
 MT. Mccormick added that he was reminding Alaska's local boards of the Acts provisions and of the regulations.
