In the last elections the people of the United States
expressed will in uncertain terms.
We went record in favor of legislation to provide
more adequate housing and tighter rent controls
We wanted broader social security program
} We voted to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act.
We gave mandate for federal aid to education so thai
boys and girls wouldn't be taught by undepad teach
in overcrowded schools.
Above ALL we expressed ourselves in favor of cvio
rights program that would equal opportunity for
jobs, housing and education to all Americans.
This the will of the people
Now we faced with shameful spectacle The Sena-
tors who oppose these have resorted to para
menary maneuvers to shut off any discussion of the
real issues
They still employ this fbuser that considerations
of needed legislation may come to the Senate floor
The citizens of the United States must these OBJ

broken The wheels Of democracy must not be amed hy

Gen. Marshall OK's Foreign Arms Plan

WA SH INGTON, (AP) - Gen. George C. Marshall told Congress yesterday that hesitation in ap- proving President Truman's pro- gram of foreign arms aid would be most unfortunate and have wide qualifications"
 The former secretary of state, who was army chief of staff dur ing World War II, testified before the House foreign affairs commit tee that, while failure to approve the program at this time would re- suit in "a minor economy" it also might result in the possibility of major outlay later on."
 Endorsing President Truman'S S1 ,450, 100000 program, Marshall agreed with previous statements by secretary of state Acheson and the army chief of staff, General Omar N. Bradley.
 Marshall told the committee that he had not sat in on consult tatiOns while the plan was being worked out, but that he was brief ed on it at the state department last Friday.
 "I had been strongly of the opinion that action of this nature was urgently necessary ,'' he added. As to the fundamental policy involved there is no doubt in my mind as to the desirability of action of this nature immedi- ately."
 t is necessary, he said, for the nations of Europe Wha are friend Iy to the United States and are resisting Russia to have mutual ly cooperative action against ag- gressiOn."

Territory Appeals Judge Folta's Tax Decision

JUNEAU, (P)-An appeal will be taken from last Fridays feder- al court ruling that AlaSka's non resident fishing tax is illegal, Ter ritorial attorney general J. Gerald Williams said yesterday.
 Williams also instructed tax commissioner M. P. Mullaney to continue collections of the tax from nonresident salmon fisher men on grounds that Judge George Folta's decision did not settle the status of the salmon tax.
 Last weeks decision was in an action brought by A. H. Ziegler, Ketchikan attorney, in behalf of two Seattle halibuters and the Po- lar Fisheries of Ketchikan.
 The tax, one of three enacted by the 1949 legislature and attacked in the courts, requires a $50 li- cense from all nonresident fish ermen.

Macarthur Warns Japs To Slow Up

TOKYO, CP)-General MacAr- thurs headquarters was reported today to have sent Premier Shi- geru Yoshida a letter which has had the effect Of slowing the pres ent government trend toward re- Strictive measures.
 Informative sources said the letter has spiked efforts by Yo- shida's conservative regime to re- new the pre-War police system, modify the strict American sug- gested economic recovery plan and permit wholesale "pardons" for purged ultra nationalists and business monopolists.
 The government was told to make a distinction between com muniSm and the Japanese govern ment party. The implication was that the party is a legal entity and should not be illegally suppressed. No doubt was allowed, however, opposition to communism was dis tinctly the governments business.

Hartman Pleads For Arms Aid Bill Passage

WASHINGTON, R)-W. Aver ell Hartman, the Marshall plans rowing ambassador in Europe, urged Congress yesterday to ap- prove the administration foreign arms program promptly ito pro- tect the growing generation from war"
 Hartman made the appeal in testimony before the House for eign affairs committee.
 AS he testified, secretary of state Dean Acheson went into a huddle behind closed doors with members of the Senate armed services and foreign relations committees.
 This combined group is expect ed to open hearings soon on the arms air program.
 Hartman told the House com mittee that II earnestly believe we are winning the struggle for peace and freedom in Europe
 But he emphasized any delay in shipping arms to Americas Euro pean allies would create doubts which might reverse this trend.
 The voices of the subVersiVe elements, the appeasers, those who would trust neutrality would rise again and have an effect on the confidence and determination which now exists" he said.
 Hartman, who was once the American ambassador to Moscow added "I believe that it is our duty to make the present sacrifices which may be necessary to protect the growing generation fr O m war"
 The ambassador spoke out as Democrats joined with Republi- cans on the committee in calling for more details on President Tru- mans request for approval of the $1, ,4OO,oOO,OOO program to help friendly nations arm against SoV- jet aggression.

Alaska Needs Cement Piant'' Says Secv. Warne

'CP) Special Washington ScrVice)
 WASHINGTON, lPD-An intcri- or department spokesman urged enactment of legislation 10 permit the government 10 construct and operate a cement plant in Alaska.
 William F. Warne, assistant sec retary of the interior, told a House subcommittee on Territories that there was great need for a cement plant in Alaska.
 He said the need was based upon three factors.
 l. II is essential that building materials be made available in the Territory at lower prices.
 2. Alaskan resources should be drawn upon to produce commodi- ties for Alaskan use to increase the strength of the Territorial economy.
 8. The location of a cement plant in the vicinity of Windy in the rail belt, would afford a down hill haul for cement carried to either Fairbanks or Anchorage, or points between, thereby improv- ing the balance of the operations of the Alaska Railroad.
 Warne said one major obstacle in connection with the develop ment of Alaska revolved about transportation and transportation costs. He said that shortage of building materials at prices com parable to Stateside levels was a deterrent to housing and highway construction.
 Warne said the need for a Ce- ment plant in Alaska has been particularly acute in view of the great construction activities there of the national military establish ment.
 He said the military establish nent is spending between one and two million dollars a year for ce- men. fer use in Alaska and that possibly a third could be saved through a Territorial m n plant.

Riders Association about Grey
