GALE FROM ALASKA HITS
 WASH. COAST

SEATTLE, Oct. 11.-tR-An AL aska-born gale hit the Washing ton coast last night and moved inland, bearing heavy rain for the lowlands and snow for higher ele- vations of the Cascade Mountains
 The Weather Bureau said the storm, covering wide front from the northern tip of Washington into oregon, blew in winds of 50 miles an hour at the entrance to the Strait of Juan De Fuca and 35 miles an hour at the mouth of the Columbia River.
 Storm flags were flying along the coast from the Strait to Cape Blan- co, Ore, and in the inland waters of Washington.
 The gale, which began brewing several days ago near the Aleutian Island chain, swept into the Gulf of Alaska and then headed south to the Pacific Northwest.

Look Out For phony
 $10 Bills

SEATTLE, Oct. 11.-tR- An in Aux of phony s1O bills was reported today by Leo A. Smugai, Secret Service supervising agent in Se- attle.
 Fourteen such bills already have been turned in. Smugai said. Most were received over the weekend at theaters and taverns.
 So excellent is the engraving that only a careful scrutiny of the bill will disclose it as counterfeit, the agent said. Principal differ ence is the lack of detail in Alex ander Hamilton's hair, giving It a white appearance.
 The bills are on the Federal Re- serve Bank of Minneapolis and bear the serial number "1167759ll5E and check and plate numbers F. H."

 PROBE COM.
Inquiry Shows PribiIof Ma. lives Condition Moi in
 Bondage as Claimed

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 11.- lR-Members of an inquiry commits sion said today they will refute the implication that Pribilof Island Na- tives are living under conditions bordering on peonage.
 The Commission returned here yesterday from rowing investiga- ton of Native living conditions in the seal-bearing islands and the Eskimo areas of the mainland.
 They withheld details of what their report would be.
 The study was made after com- plaints by the Alaska Native Broth erhood and after the Association of American Indian Affairs raised the question, in Washington and New York, of the Natives status. Oliver La Farge, President of the Indian Group, said Natives of the Pribilofs May be in virtual peonage." He said They are wards of the Fish and Wild Life Service, excluslvely engaged in fur sealing operations for the United States.
 INSPECTION ENDED
 We can't help but feel,' he add ed. that the Government has been just a little more interested in seals than sealers.'
 The Commission that returned here yesterday is led ty the Rev. Mark Dawber of New York City, Executive Secretary of the Home Missions Council of North America and a Director of the Association on Indian Affairs. The group made three week inspection tour.

LOANS LEGAL,
 UNIVERSITY
 HEAD STATES

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct H. lR-Dr. Ferris Moore, president of the University of Alaska. denies the charges of auditors in the recent report that the University made illegal loans.
 An audit ordered by the 1949 legislature said the university bor- rowed an unauthorized S2l1 ,000 from various sources and that $751; GOO remained unpaid on Dec. 31, 1948.
 Moore said the $191, ,000 loan ob- tained last year by the University was entirely approved and legal throughout the entire period until paid in full last spring."
 In a prepared statement, he said:
 Legality of the leans was sup ported by favorable opinion from the University's own counsel, pr. Charles E. Bunnell and Atty. Gen. Ralph Rivers. The loans were re- paid before the new Attorney Gen. eral gave his opinion. It would be an egregious error in auditing pro- cedure to raise the slightest techni- cal objection to these particular loans. The University is normally forced to borrow at this time of the year to open the doors to stu dents."
 He said that if new loans of $138,000 are illegal, present instruc- tion and student education is illeg- al, because the loans are paying for the university's operating ex- penses.
 He said student loans aggregate some $10,000 and the university expects to continue loaning money to needy students, using the best

 Secretary of Defense Johnson has asked the committee to hear him before it gets through digging in to the Navy-Air Force controversy. In letter making the request, he also said that the scrap could do grave damage to our national se- curity."
 Johnson suggested, too, that the committee seek the military uni fication views of former President Herbert Hoover, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and the chiefs of staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
 Chairman Vinson CD-Ga said Johnson would be heard. As to the others. he did not commit himself but said he wants to hear top mili- tary officials and Secretary of Air SymingtOn.

FARM BILL
 IS URGED
 BY TRUMAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. --tR- President Truman called Demo- cratic congressional leaders to the White House today and urged them to reach quick agreement on the farm bill.
 The congressional delegation members were silent as they strode out of the White House after an hour-long conference in MT. Tru- mans office.
 Differences among MT. Truman's leadership in the Senate on Farm price supports have imperiled pas sage of a new farm measure.
 Presidential Secretary Charles C.. Ross told reporters afterwards that no agreement was reached at the White House barley.
 "The President asked them to get together on a bill he can sign.' Ross said. He asked them to ad- just their differences"
 Ross would not say what sort of bill MT. Truman would sign. however. When asked if the Presi- dent would veto an unsatisfactory bill, Ross replied, You may make what implications you please
 Rep. Cecil F. White CD-Calif) said yesterday, after talk at the White House. that MT. Truman strongly supported legislation pro- viding price supports of 90 per cent of parity on basic crops.

1949 CROPS 2NDLARCE5T
 IN HISTORY
Government Controls May Be Used 10 Hold Down
 1850 Production

WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.-tA'-An official harvest-time report today bore out previous forecasts that 1949 crop production will be the second largest in the nations his tory.
 The record was set last year.
 Topping the outturn are a corn crop of surplus proportions, record rice crop and larger than average crops of wheat, oats, flaXseed, sor- ghum grain, dry beans, soy beans, tobacco, sugar cane, apples, beach, es and tree nuts.
 The crop report-issued by the Agricultural Department-indicated that supplies of corn-raw material for meat, poultry and dairy pro- ducts-are large enough to warrant use of government crop controls to hold down next years production.
 A surplus was indicated despite the fact that today's estimate of 3,477, 100000 bushels is 49,000, 900 less than forecast month ago.
 However, Congress must clarify conflicts in crop control legislation, the Department has said, before it can invoke rigid marketing quotas.
 The Department said total pro- duction of all crops is now indicat- ed to be 131 per cent of the l923- 32 base. This volume has been ex- ceeded only by the l37 per cent of the base in 1948.
 Most crop prospects improved or were maintained during September, the Department said.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-10-11

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-R-A Navy weapons expert told Congress today that Russia likely has guided missiles able to find and knock down bombers above 40000 feet.
 capt. J. H. Sides said German rocket secrets fell into Russian hands after the wra, and that 1t would be folly" to gamble U. S, security on the atom bomb and big bombers alone.
 Had the war lasted year longer, Sides said the U. s. bombers would no longer have been able to fly over Germany without prohibitive losses from German anti-afrcraft rockets.
 Russia Got Designs
 These Nazi anti-aircraft develop ments designed to search out and destroy raiders travelling 485 miles an hour at 65,000 feet, fell into Russian hands lock, stock and bar rel,' Sides said.
 The Russians have had plenty of time to get them into production, he said, adding:
 "Over four years have elapsed since then. It is foolhardy for us to think of an aggressor's anti aircraft defenses now in terms of 1945 equipment
 Sides is deputy assistant chief of Naval Operations. He testified before the House Armed Services Committee hearing naval charges that defense chiefs are over-con- centrating on an obsolete" B-36 bomber.
 Guided Missiles
 Whether or not the Russians now have these guided missiles in pro duction, Sides said, a revolutionary change in anti-aircraft defenses is certainly not far distant.
 Even before some big bombers now on order can be delivered, Sides declared, this country will have guided missiles able to find and knock down bombers above 40,000 feet.
 Before hearing Sides, the com- mittee had brief new discussion with Comdr. Eugene Tatom about how deadly is the A-bomb. Tatom cited medical reports on the Hiro- shima blast to back up his conten- ton that it is not as deadly as the public thinks.
 Statistics Don't Jibe
 But under questioning, Tatom agreed that all available statistics do not jibe. And he said that any, way he isn't an atomic expert.
 Tatom is the Navy man who sur- prised the committee yesterday by saying a man could stand at one end of the Washington National Airport and come unscathed through an atomic blast at the oth- CT end of its 6,800-foot (about one mile and a third runway.
 His testimony was part of the Nays general attack on the mili- tary policy of putting so large an investment into the Air Force B. 36 bomber-a plane designed to fly from one continent to another and carry an A-bomb.
 Navy's Argument
 In brief. the Navy's argument is that Russian defenses could stop most B-36 efforts and that planes which did get through likely would

HAD THEM READY

FORT BLISS, Texas, Oct. 1l.--IR German scientists have said they had interceptor type rockets ready for use against enemy aircraft at the end of World War II.
 This was recalled as a congress ional committee was told that Rus sia probably had guided missiles capable of downing bombers fly ing above 40,000 feet.
 A German engineer, Walter Rie- del, told reporters about the anti aircraft rocket here late in Novem- Der, 1946. He and IF of his coun- trymen then were engaged in mis- siles development at Fort Bliss and the nearby White Sands, N. M. proving ground.

ANOTHER DEMAND MADE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.--tR- Two Washington Congressmen-Re- publican Hal Holmes and Democrat Hugh Mitchell-haye urged the na-
 ions lawmakers to consider strengthening Northwest defenses..
 Holmes, declaring an adequate air defense program of utmost importanceg to the Northwest and Alaska. was among the leaders in successful fight to have the House reject Senate-approved cut of s7s5,ooo,ooo in Air Force ap- propriations.
 Mitchell. in letter to Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Armed Services Committee, asked approval of a proposal of board to evalu- ate strategic air warfare.
 "A decision by the Air Force to concentrate It's bomber production in the interior" has caused grave concern in the coastal areas, Mit- chell informed vinson. Mitchell said he viewed the Air Force de- cision as the "earmarks of stra- tegic retreat to the interior con- sonant with policy of industrial dispersion"
 Holmes told the House the North west urgently needs the best de- lenses possible" to safeguard install- ations of "vitar' national import ance.
