Doesn' I Waflf
 Statehood for
 Hawaii Now
Be Serious Mistake as Subversive Element
 Might Take Over

PORTLAND, Oregon, Nov. It. Statehood for Hawaii should be de- ferred because of the threat ot Communism, Judge James L. Coke, chairman of the Hawaii Longshore ,trike Fact-Finding Board, said in an interview here.
 We are getting along all right now as a territory" he told a reporter, and statehood now would be a serious mistake because of the danger that the subversive ele- ment might take over.'
 We should not take chances at this t.me,' he continued. We should ferret out the underground before statehood. The Communist party has said Hawaii is considered the most fertile ground for its seed and it may be that they are using it as a testing ground"
 Coke said one labor leader said 'n speech. that unions wanted statehood so they could elect theii own judges, take over the govern ment and control the police.
 Statehood will be proper some lime, yes, but not now" said Coke one-time Chief Justice of the Sui preme Court of Hawaii.

NEW HOPE FOR MISSING
 PLANE PILOT
Dizzy BrownfieId Used vogeI Cabin on Susifnd
 -SedrCh Intensified

1 ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. H. tA-A scribbled note found in lone ly Susitna River cabin kindled new
 hope today for the safety of Francis
 Dizzy" Brownfield, airplane pilot
 missing since Sept. 5.
 The Air Forces 10th Rescue
 Squadron today disclosed finding
 of the note after a helicopter flight
 to the cabin, one of string owned
 by Oscar Vogel, wellknown trapper
 in the area, some 50 miles north
 west of here. The note, undated,
 read:
 God bless the man who built this
 cabin and left food in it. I, Fran cis Brownfield, was lost and sick i and I opened the cabin. If make it back will pay the man for the food and shlter."
 Hurl Brownfield, the missing fliers father, immediately recog- nized it as being in his sons hand writing.
 ! Search of the cabin was made after the pilots mother, in Sequim, 1 Wash, reported hearing from crew l members of a fishing vessel that they received a radio message at sea that Brownfield was safe in cabin 1 in the Susitna area. Tenth Rescue, notified, contacted Vogel. vogel said later that none of his cabins had radios and none was found in the cabin with the note. So yesterday It. William A. Weed and Vogel landed in a helicopter, found the note and rushed it back ] to Anchorage.
 More planes then were sent aloft l in the hope of finding the lost i father of six children. He had left no word as to the course he in- tended to follow, nor how long he l had occupied the cabin.
 i Brownfield was to have made rendezvous with hunting party Labor Day. His plane crashed and
 was found Sept. II.
 ! Meanwhile, Mrs. Pat ODonnell and Earl Bogey walked back into the Sheep Mountain Civil Aeronau- tics Administration station a few days later. O'Donnell, who remain ed on a river bar awaiting Brown field, battled the elements for 24
 days before finally emerging from the wilds at Talkeetna. ODonnell had used some of Vog- els. cabins while tramping his way back to civilization.

Vital Approaches Covered Northern Territories
 Will Have Some"

OTTAWA, Nov. 11.-R-Canada is building huge radar system which would give warning against possible air attack on her big cities and other vital targets, govern ment White Paper revealed today.
 The defense paper, outlining Can ada's preparedness program, sad the radar system is being developed to cover certain vital approaches and areas"
 Radar stations costing from be- tween $2,500,000 and S3,500,0o0 each were planned, the paper said, to give early warning of the ap- proach of enemy aircraft so that jet fighters and anti-aircraft guns could be alerted to ward off an attack.
 The paper said the fear of 8 world war between east and west had been moderated during the past Is months, but said Canada was continuing a full-scale defense program The nations potential industrial capacity for war, it re- vealed, is twice that of 1889.
 Air Emphasis
 Heavy emphasis was being plac- ed on air power, the paper said, and orders worth $75,000,O00 had been placed for this year for planes and parts-almost four times the value of orders last year.
 The paper submitted to the House of Commons by Defense Minister Brooke Claxton, said Canada's plans did not envisage dense curtain of radar such as Britain and Germany had during the last war.
 But there would be some stations in the vast northern territory Most will be situated to protect big cities and key targets.
 Other preparations for possible fighting in the Arctic were report ed The paper said the Army had developed new snow-trveling sleds and vehicles, new anti-freeze ana heated caboose-like huts mounted on sleds and drawn by tractors for taking men and equipment ilito areas of extreme cold.

AVOID THIRD WAR ENLARGE. F0R(E5: GRAY
(By the Associated Press)

The nations top military leaders today urged Americans to keep their armed forces powerful and thus help avoid a Third World War.
 They spoke at Armistice Day ob- servances across the nation as the world marked the 31st anniversary of the close of World War I-the war to end wars
 Secretary of Defense Johnson set the tone with a speech at St. Louis in which he declared that weak ness breeds war, and that strength commands respect and discourages war"
 In a talk at Greenville. NC, Secretary of the Army Gray placed the probable ultimate cost to this country of World War II at one trillion dollars, and added that the United States must stay strong to avoid future conflict.
 PREVENT RECURRENCE
 Secretary of Air Symington weighed the cost of the Second World War in terms of men and resources, as well as dollars, and said i've must do everything in our power to prevent occurrences of those international disasters called World Wars"
 rT,,o~ ,,aro e;r,;lor eyr,fessionS from other leaders in government, the military and civic affairs.
 President Truman, who was due to address the national conference of Christians and Jews curing the afternoon, led Americans in observ- ance of the holiday with the tradi- tional Presidential tribute a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
 THE DARK SHADOW"
 Speaking in nearby Arlington Amphitheater, George N. Craig, Ma tional Commander of the American Legion, declared that the nation is observing Armistice Day this year within the dark shadow of the atomic bomb.
 one reason, he said, is that the United States and other nations failed to achieve enduring peace after the First World War.
 Johnson, in his speech, recalled how he saw Armistice Day come while he was in the army in Europe
 To-day" he said, i've have none of the delusions we had on our first Armistice Day. Today we have accepted the meaning of the word 'armistice' in its literal sense-the cessation of physical combat He added:
 we accept Armistice Day as worthy of celebration but we also take it as day of notice, notice to us that though the guns be stilled, the fight for the right and the light, against the evil ana the dark is everlasting and demands eternal vigilance"
 Secretary of the Army Gray said in Greenville that the high cost of war is one good reason for keep ing the United States military machine powerful.

 VISHINSKY TALKS
 Vishinsky said the Soviet Union is now using atomic energy for peaceful purposes. He said: We are raging mountains; are irrigating deserts; we are cutting through the jungle and the tundra; we are spreading life, happiness, prosperity and welfare in places the hu- man footstep has not been seen for a thousand yars.'
 Where in Russia is this atomic activity? reporters asked

 WASHINGTON. Nov. ll-tRl- Secretary of Interior Julius Cap" Krug, whose relations with Presi- dent Truman have been reported declining, has resigned from the cabinet effective Dec. 1.
 Krug, at Al the youngest cabinet member, made the announcement late yesterday-to reporters and MT. Truman, in that order. Friends said Krug plans to go into private busi- ness.
 i Undersecretary Oscar L.ttleton Chapman, 53, is reported in line to succeed him even though that would place a second Coloradoan in the cabinet. Both Chapman and Secretary of Agriculture Grammar are from Denver.
 Once intimate friends, Krug and the President apparently have not been on the best of terms recently.
 There was some evidence of this , at the news conference MT. Truman held yesterday. several hours before Krug's resignation.
 Asked about differences with Krug, and particularly whether he had written the cabinet officer strong letter about reclamation 1 rolicy. the President declined com ment.
 LETTER LATE
 Friends said Krug apparently felt that MT. Truman should have been aele to do better by him than that"
 Tine President received the let l ter of resignation half an hour after Krug confided to reporters that he was leaving and had wanted to leave for long time" 1 It was explained later that the delay in delivery of the letter was inadvertent.
 Krug had nothing to say of his plans. He has an interest in Tennessee textile mill--in an area where, 10 years before, he was chief power engineer for the Ten- nessee Valley Authority. 1 Chapman likewise had no com ment. His wife said he was at his loffice all last evening writing an address he will give at San Fran cisco Sunday.
 Chapman has been member of the so-called Little Cabinet" for 1872 years.
 ACTING SECRETARY
 He became Assistant Secretary of the Interior in May, 1883, under Secretary Harold L. Ickes. He served as Acting Secretary in the s.x-week interim between Ickes' resignation and Krug's appoint ment, and became Undersecretary the day after Krug took office in March. 1946.
 He served on Navy transports during World War and was once referee and chief probation officer of the late Judge Ben B. Lindsley's famous juvenile and domestic re- lations court in Denver. l Chapman was advance man" for President Trumans western cam paign travels last year. and was credited with much of the success of the tours.
 ] Krug, on the other hand, was roundly criticized by the party i faithful for not campaigning more ardently in l948. Krug spoke for MT. Truman in the pre-convention campaigning. but was not as active i n speech-making thereafter as ome of his cabinet colleagues.
 There have been other differ ences between Krug and Mir Tru- man since then.
 SQUABBLE OVER NAVAJOS
 The President recently vetoed Navajo rehabilitation bill because of an amendment. said to nave been accepted by Krug. which would have made the Indians subject to state laws.
 The Presidents comments on two recent reclamation proposals also appeared critical of the six-foot- four, 20O-pound-plus baby" of the cabinet He reluctantly approved one, but vetoed the other on

RECEPTION IN
 W00DSKED FOR
 TWO ST0WAWAYS

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Oct l2.- R-Two 1l-year- r-old Seattle boys, who started north as stowaways and completed their trip as pay ing passengers, took in the sights here like regular tourists.
 They started homeward on the steamer Baranof after Boy Scouts had shown them the town-from totem poles to movies.
 Their fathers paid first class fares for them after the master of the SS. Aleutian notified the Alaska Steamship Company that the two young voyagers had been discovered aboard
 The company withheld the boys names at the fathers request, but the indications were that the boys might get a "woodshed reception" upon their return home.
