TEL AVN, (JTA)-A demand
that Israel adopt a law requiring
every youth and new immigrant
to spend two years in settlements
to colonize the barren areas of
Israel was made here last week at
the seventh world conference of
the Birth Trumpeldor organiza-
ton.
The demand was made by Aaron
Propes, leader of the organization,
after the reading of a message
from Premier David Ben Gurion
appealing to the youth of Israel
to settle the barren areas of the
southern Negev, the hills of Jeru-
salem and Galilee.
Propes also urged establishment
of joint committee of all Israeli
youth organizations to send in
structors to immigrant camps to
encourage the new arrivals to take
up life in the settlements.
Farmers Sought
Premier David Ben Gurion
called on immigrants to Israel to
turn to agriculture either as set
tiers or as agricultural laborers,
as their share in the upbuilding of
the Jewish state. He issued the
call at convention of representa-
tives of agricultural settlements
throughout Israel who met to con-
slider their role in the national eco
nomic battle.

AIR FORCE WANTS
ARCTIC AIR BASES

WASHINGTON The Air Force
is talking about forward air bases
deep in the Arctic at which bomb
ers could refuel on strikes across
the Polar cap.
A cautious official reference to
this hitherto secret plan for
stretching the reach of bombers
operating from airfields within the
United States came to light this
week. In a report on plans and
money needs for the new heavy
bomber base at Limestone, Maine,
the Air Force says:
"a typical Polar operation
might involve aircraft taking off
from United States air bases, the
staging or topping off OF these air
craft at forward bases in northern
Canada, Greenland, or even the
Polar ice cap.
This project may explain how
the USAF can make good its claim
that the huge B-36 bomber can
strike virtually all Significant
military targets on the earth from
bases in the western hemisphere"
The distance from bases within
the United States itself to poten-
tial targets in the heartland of
the Eurasian continent would be
beyond the range of even the B-36.
However, the new strategy sug-
gested in the report indicates that
the missions would operate like
this:
A B-36. whose home field was
Limestone or some other airdrome
in the United States, would load
up with bombs and a compare
lively light load of fuel 1t would
fly two or three thousand miles to
a staging base on the rim of the
North American continent, I'M
Greenland or elsewhere in the far
north There the bomber would
top orr its fuel tanks (fill them
to capacity. That would carry the
intereontinental bomber to the tar
get and back to the staging base
or to friendly territory beyond en-
envy territory.

MRS. ROOSEVELT ANSWERS
CARDINAL SPELLMAN

HYDE PARK = Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, denying any "bias
against the Roman Catholic
Church." said this week she would
continue to stand for the things
in our government which l think
are right"
She made the statements in a
letter to Francis Cardinal Spell
man who assailed her last Friday
in letter for a record of anti
Catholicism . unworthy of an
American mother"
81 assure you" wrote Mrs.
Roosevelt, that have no sense of
being an unworthy American
mother The final judgment, my
dear Cardinal Spellman, of the un-
worthiness of all human beings is
in the hands of God"
Barden Bill Controversy
The controversy stemmed from
Mrs. Roosevelt's opposition to Fed
era1 aid to parochial schools. Card
inal Sbellman said Mrs Roosevelt
aligned herself with hackers of
the Barden bill in her June %
column and two others. The Bar
den bill would permit Federal aid
only to public schools Mrs. Roose-
welt mentioned Cardinal Spellman'
opposition to the Barden bill in
her column.
In New York, a secretary of the
Cardinal said there was no i'm
mediate reply. In his letter of last
Friday the Cardinal said 81 shall
not again publicly acknowledge
you"
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote the Card
inal: II have no bias against the
Roman Catholic Church."
She added: 81 have no intention
of attacking you personally. nor of
attacking the Roman Catholic
Church, but l shall, of course, con-
tinue to stand for the things in
our government which I think are
right.
They may lead me to be in OPP
position to you and to other groups
within our country, but l shah al
ways act, as far as / am able, from
real conviction and honest belief"

CAA GETS TWENTY-ONE
MILLION FOR ALASKA
AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION

WASHINGTON The Civil Aer
onautics Administration will have
$21,504,000 available for expendi-
ture in Alaska during the 1850
fiscal year, according to a break
down furnished Delegate e. T..
Bartlett following passage of the
agency's appropriation bill.
A cash appropriation of $500
900 for the Anchorage and Fair
banks airports requested in tn
Presidents budget is included in
that total with the remainder be
ing divided between an apprOpria-
ton of $11,226,000 for salaries
and expenses and $4,47S,OOO for
establishment of air navigation
facilities.
There are no funds earmarked
in the 1850 money bill for the
Federal Aid Airport program Of
the CAA since total of 1,657,75
representing 1947-48-49 funds TO
Alaska under this program remain
to be expended.
That money prior to this year
could not be spent as sponsors in
Alaska could not accept federal
aid due to lack of authority by
the Territorial legislature. Under
special formula for Alaska, the
federal government would put up
rs per cent of the cost of a pro-
ject with the Alaska sponsor put
ting up rs per cent. The Territor-
ial legislature meeting this year
remedied this situation thus remov-
ing the obstacle against accept
ance of federal assistance under

EDITORIAL
SALMON CONSERVATION

It could be one of the best years
in Southeast Alaska fishing his
Iory. 1t could be another 1911.
With the opening of the season
"a full two weeks away, the pink
salmon, or humpies, are showing
in exceptional numbers. One of the
outstanding examples is Anan
Creek south of Wrangen. In Anan.
which has been a flop for the past
several seasons, there is heavy
showing of plnks, a situation
which has been building up since
July 20. Experienced fishermen.
who have known and fished Anan
for a long time, declare the show
ing to be one of the best in many.
years. The creek is packed, backed
up with what appears to be a
heavy volume along the Point
Ward shore and the south Wran-
CELL Island shore. If Anan is cri-
terion of other streams, and the
run holds, it could be one of those
exceptional years, short though the
season may be.
The proposal has been made
that in view of the heavy run now
appearing it might be we'll to open
Anan for a couple of days, and
then watch it for. a while to see
how it builds up. The proposal has
merit as it is obvious that the en-
tire run now jamming Anan will
never all get upstream to spawn.
There are just too many of them.
Thousands will die enroute or in
the bay wasted fish which
might as well be in the can.
Actually, we hope it isn't a 1871
season in some respects. That was
the season when the Fish and
Wildlife Service arbitrarily closed
down the season, and then came
one of the big runs which F&WS
refused to recognize with the re-
suit that millions of perfectly good
food fish were wasted. They died
clogging the streams. 1t was one
of the worst errors F&WS ever
made, and some of their best men
will admit it.
We hope such a condition does
not prevail this seaeon. We trus.
top flight F&WS officials tax
cognizance of the Anan SHOWING
and the showing of FISH in othe
places. If the runs merit taking
We hope F&WS, in the intsre L j..
conservation, declare open seas5r
where the situation warrants an
close it, accordingly, ON the same
premise.
F&WS can well take heed Of tn
proposal for opening Anan which
i now being made. 1t should have
its top men make a survey amt
give a yes or no answer.
One of the criticisms of F&WS
in past years is that its policy
men appeared to be count
ing brown bear when they should
have been counting fish. Such a
policy, we believe now extinct, led
to confusion, misunderstanding and
in some instances, to direct viola
tion. This situation can be correct
ed by F&WS, by having its key
men, the chaps who make the pol
icies, on the job where the fish
are. We believe that to be the pol
icy of the department under its
present organization. This news
paper hopes that policy will be
carried out in the next few weeks
when fishing is No. l business in
the Territory.
