PROPOSED BILL TOO.
 HIGH PRICE FOR RISK CAPITAL: BARTLETT.
Delegate Favors REC Type Agency Fears Fed
 eraI Domination

PETERSBURG, Alaska, Nov. 5. --lR-Congressional Delegate Bart cit said today he opposes the pre- sent form of the Alaska Develop ment Corporation Bill.
 He said it would be too high a price for Alaskans to pay for in- vestment capital. Bartlett met here yesterday with a subcommittee of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee. He said the rest of the Congressmen in the party feel the way he does about the proposal.
 To clarify the stand he took against the measure in Juneau Thursday, Bartlett said:
 While I knew little of the bill in it's drafting stage and since most of my knowledge of it has come since I returned to the Territory, felt I was obliged to take stand against it, although I feel the need for venture capital in Alaska is great. It was evident some pro visions of the proposal might easily mean paying too high price for that capital.
 The bill offers possibilities for both federal control and federal domination that could cover the Territory forever and day"
 No Assets In Bank
 Bartlett added that he under stood the Bureau of the Budget, the Presidents right arm," also is against it.
 T know territorial banks don't have assets sufficient to provide for Alaska's financial need" he stated, "and I realize just how difficult it is to obtain such risk capital from private capital from private sources.'
 He said that for those reasons he would favor federal financial aid for the Territory through an agency such as the REC. at low interest rates.
 He added that such capital should be given the Territory without im- plication or federal intervention in it's economic and political life.
 Bartlett said he was pleased to learn that Kenneth Kadow. Di- rector of the Interior Departments Field Commission, has announced that the Commission will work to prepare a new bill more in line with Alaskans' wishes.

BALKAN WAR I MAY co M E DURING 1852
Warning Given by AP Cor. respondent-Ih
 Reasons

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. 5-'R The nations editors awaited a re- port on the Orient today after hearing a warning that war may come in the Balkans by 1852.
 Seymour Topping, correspondent who has been stationed in China, was to address the 18th annual meeting of the Associated Press Managing Editors Association, closing here today.
 Pulitzer prize-winner Larry Allen, recently stationed at Warsaw, Po- land, told the group yesterday:
 "If there is to be a war with Russia, think it will come by the end of 1852"
 T have three reasons for think ing this" he said. By that time, Russia will have supply of atomic bombs. secondly, the Russians feel that Americans are disunited dur ing any Presidential election year.
 Thirdly, the Russians believe that Marshall Plan aid will run dry about that time. They think we can't keep on pumping money into Europe. When our financial aid to European countries is at an end, 1t will be. much easier for them to step in and take over

Ship Teefers
 SaIvage Fails;
 50-50 Chance

PORT ANGELES, Wash. Nov. 5. -LR-The cracked and partly flood ed Panamanian freighter Anda- lusia remained tightly lodged to- day on a submerged reef in the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Early morning salvage efforts were un- successful.
 Seven tugs were unable to free the big cargo ship on the flood tide about 80 am. (PST) and were to try again when the tide reaches another crest few min utes before noon.
 For more than 24 hours the freighter has been teetering pre- cariously on the sharp reef near the entrance to the Strait, 67 miles west of here.
 Salvage experts reported there was a "50-50'' chance of pulling the Andalusia off, and keeping her afloat until she can be lowed to a ship repair yard.
 A battery of pumps put aboard during the night worked steadily to siphon out water, streaming in to all but the front hold through cracks and strained seams.
 The Anadalusia, with crew of 27 men and one woman, grounded yesterday as the master attempted to beach the ship because of a fire-later extinguishd.
 The woman and IT others were removed last night. The captain and eight men remained aboard.

Il WING ROW,
 CI0 BOARD
Nine Union Chiefs Are Now Under Fire : Murray
 Makes Ruling

CLEVELAND, Nov. 5-R-The CLOS Executive Board called in lett-wing nominees for posts on the board today to face charges they are ineligible under the amended CIO constitution, because of pro-C Communist leanings.
 Nine union chiefs are under fire. Their nominations for the board were referred to the board at the c osing session of the convention yesterday, to determine whether they could pass the new eligibility clause of the constitution. The clause bars from the board mem- i.ers of the Communist party or any who were influenced by the Com munist program.
 Eight of the nine appeared be- fore the toard to defend themselves. Absent at the start of the meet ing was Joseph Selly, president of the tiny American Communications Association.
 The convention definitely turned cown only one nominee for the board, which normally has 5l mem Lars. CIO President Philip Murray ruled on the spot that Ben Gold, head of the Fur and Leather Workers, and member of the Communist party, could not serve.
 The convention, before adjourn ing last night, had tossed out two unions under leftist leadership the United Electrical Workers and the Farm Equipment Workers.
 The two unions, with a combined membership of about 470,ooo, merged last week but were thrown out of the CIO for continued defiance of major policy.
 The convention chartered new union to compete with UE.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

Copyright, 1949, by Bell syndicate me- WASHINGTON = Mum is sup posed to be the word, but secret resolution has heen drawn up au- thorizing impeachment proceedings against President Truman-in case he lets the coal strike continue to a national danger point.
 The resolution was drafted by a handful of Republicans and Dixie crats just before Congress adjourn ed and then locked in safe de- posit box. They plan to introduce it nextx Januafy-if the national economy is seriously jeopardized by strikes. Ringleader of the impeach- ment move is Congressman Ralph Gwinn. New York Republican, with an assist from Gene Cox, the Geo. rgia Dixiecrat.
 Specifically, the secret resolution charges President Truman with "nonfeasance" of office. It is al- legged that he neglected the econ- omic welfare of all the people in order to help a tightly organized minority-the labor unions.
 The resolution further points out that the President could have pre- vented economic disaster by in- voking the Taft Hartley Act. This constitutes neglect of duty, the res- olution charges.
 Now that the steel strike is being settled, the wind has been taken out of the impeachment plan, but
