Foir Is AIIottine Midway Space Now

Work of assigning concession space on the midway of the fair grounds for the coming Mata- nuska Valley Fair is being com pleted during the absence of fair manager Charles Dillon, it was announced this week by M. D. Snodgrass of the board of direc- tors.
 The map of the proposed area is now posted in MT. Snodgrass' office. Everyone interested in obtaining concession space at the fair is asked to first get in touch with Viola Daniels, execu- tive assistant, and sign a con- tract for concession space. Con- cesSionaires are asked to make a deposit at the time the con- tract is signed. Once the con- tract is completed, the conces- sionaire can choose the site for his concession from the posted map in the Snodgrass office.
 Inquiries for entry into the fairs queen and talen contests also are coming in daily now. MT. Dillon said, before he left last Thursday, that he was confident there were more than a dozen entrants in both contests.
 Final proofs on the fairs pre- mium book, expected to be off the press by mid-August at the latest, were presented by the printer early this week.

Salmon Pack Is Very Low

Both Fish and Wildlife Service and Alaska Salmon Industry of ficials last week predicted a new low in the annual salmon pack this year. With all of the Bristol Bay area closed, with the excep- tion of Ugashik River, an In- dustry spokesman said it was possible that this seasons loss will total $3,00O,OO0. He blamed a poor season and longer closing hours for the drop.
 The total western Alaska pack on July 16 this year was reported as 541, 1,648 cases as compared to 1, 210,16O cases at the same time last year.

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
anti-union fangs of the Taft
Hartley act were barred in two
NLRB actions last week. In a
California case a trial examiner
ruled that a union committed a
secondary boycott when Its
members in private cars tralled
trucks of a company on the un-
fair list to customers premises,
In a New York case the NLRB
itself made the union and the
company jointly responsible for
the back pay of man fired for
not paying dues, because the

Italian Defense Chief
Tells Deputies Of Plans
To Rebuild Fleet in 50
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Sept. 2s.-Defense
Minister Randolfo Pacciardi,
painting a woeful picture of this
Atlantic pact country's armed
forces, announced plans yester-
day for rebuilding Italy's feet in
1850.
IF we don't renew our Navy,
but intrust the defense Of our
seas and our coasts to the Allied
navies, we would be renouncing
our independence" Mr.. Picciardi
told the Chamber Of Deputies.
The Defense Minister said the
peace treaty, which limits Italy's
armed power. permits her to go
ahead with building small fleet
units in 1850.
!. Air Force in Sad Shape.
Accordingly, he continued, the
Navy will renovate two cruisers,
with emphasis on anti-aircraft
defense. and will build two light
anti-aircraft ships, six destroyers
and number of smaller units.
MIR. Pacciardi told the deputies
the air force also is in sad s., :.
I'VE are at least 10 years be-
hind" he declared, land our avia-
ton industry threatens to col
lapse"
He said: "Our four fighter
wings are equipped with old craft
and lacking in spare engines. The
American surplus material also
is worn out and should be re-
placed.
To Buy Jet Planes.
Everything pertaining to anti
aircraft defense is practically zero.
The only consoling note Is that
we are negotiating for the pur-
chase Of modern jet planes and
we hope to have a few Of these by
the end of the year."
Mr.. Pacciardi said the Army is
still below the 250.000 figure per-
mitted by the peace treaty. He
said the Government planned to
increase Italy's present eight divi-
sions to IL. of which few will
be motorized.
"We have no intention what
ever of violating the peace treaty
he said. because we believe IL
divisions modernly equipped and
armed will be sufficient"
