The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

Copyright. ls4s. by Bell Syndicate. Incl
 LOS ANGELES-John Kennedy, live-wire publisher of the San Diego Journal, recently took man-in- street poll as to who represented California in the U. s. Senate. After some hesitation most of those boiled were able to remember the name of Republican William Know land, who has been in office less that a full te rm, but almost none was able to remember the name of Californias senior Senator, Sheri- dan Downey, now rounding out his twelfth year in the Senate.
 The political object lesson to be derived from Downeys anonymity is you can't be on every side of issue and still keep the peoples in terest and respect.
 Tn 1888 Sheridan Downey was el- ected as new and flaming liberal The oldsters, the labor leaders, the small farmers rallied behind him He promised them what they want ed and they believed him.

HOUSING NEXT
 YEAR 10 AID, ISAY5BARTLETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-tR-Del- egate Bartlett of Alaska said to- day defenses of the Territory should be improved next year when new housing may become available for combat troops.
 Just back from Alaska, Bartlett said it is generally known that AL aska is inadequately defended but the $96,000,000 voted by Congress in its closing days for use by the Armed Services in the Territory will pave the way for overcoming deficiencies.
 The money will be mainly used to provide housing, which he saio can be started in the spring to pro- vide quarters for combat troops.
 There are adequate Air Force installations in Alaska" Bartlett told reporter, but the troops there are chiefly Air Force and service units. There are no combat troops to defend the airfields.
 Tt is generally conceded if wal comes to Alaska the airfields could be captured without trouble ane used as bases for airplanes that could bomb any city in the United States. Such situation exposes tht i Pacific Coast and even the indus trial east to attack in case of war. Start in Spring l He said the services could senc materials to Alaska this winter ane start construction when warn spring weather arrives.
 "Appropriating the money at thu last session." he said, really save a year in getting the construction of housing and other necessar buildings under way. If the appro priation had not been passed unti the next session, construction coult not have gotten under way unti the summer of 1851 and we would have lost an entire years ! Bartlett said that though th' overall defense situation in th' Territory still is bad the com mandants of the three Armed Ser vices are really making unifiea- i ton work
 He praised Lieut.. Gen. Nathan F Twining, an Air Force officer ane commander of the Alaska Depart ment; Maj. Gen. Stanley F. Scot 1 of the Army and Rear Admira Frank Wagner, commandant of thu IT Naval District.
 They are doing an excellent Jot with the facilities with which the! have to work" Bartlett said.
 "No Defenses"
 Bartlett's comments came a da. after publication of an interview in which Gov. Ernest Gruening o Alaska said the Territory's defense are so weak it could be taken to morrow by a minor-scale airborrt invasion'-possibly by single par achute division.
 Gruening said the Territory "i ]. wholly vulnerable because we hay no defenses.

PEACE OR ACTION TO
 BE TAKEN
Coal Mine Chief Is Given A 10 48 Hours 10 Start
 Something Definite

WASHINGTON, Nov. .15-tR- John L. Lewis was confronted to- day with a virtual ultimatum to win a quick coal peace or face fast White House action.
 The Mediation Service said Lewis is being given "A to AS hours to get something stirring toward coal contract It implied that there would be action by President Tru- man this week if Lewis does not Officials seemed to believe MT. Truman would invoke the Taft Hartley Act although the President dislikes that law
 Use of a special fact-finding board outside Taft Hartley, as vas done in the steel dispute, has been considered but that idea appeared to have little support. The White House evidently was determined to stop a nsw strike on Dec. 1. the expiration date ot a truce ordered by Lewis last week to end 52-day strike. Under Taft-Hartley, MT. Tru- man could order the Justice De- partment to seek court injunc- ton barring a new strike for 80 days.
 Lewis slashed the staff of his once-rich welfare and pension fund as operators remained cool to his offer to talk about building up the fund again.

 AT FISHERY

Tro|Iers Suggest Changes Experimental Methods
 Are Outlined

The largest turnout to attend a public hearing on fisheries was on hand yesterday to present views on problems confronting the indusCl !, before meeting of the Territorial Department of Fisheries. z
 More than Is representatives of the salmon industry were present in the Federal Building, more than ever attended similar forums held by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 The new five-man board, headed by c. L. Anderson, director, listed all suggestions put forward, with a view of presenting them to the FWS for incorporation in 1850 regulations The board has no pos of it's own, but is relied upon by the Interior Department bureau to furnish it with data by which to formulate policy.
 The department was created this spring by the legislature, as step in the direction of statehood As Chairman Ira H. Rothwell of Cor dova pointed out, if statehood ar rives within the near future, the fisheries department would be a springtoard for Alaska to form it's policies and govern it's most im- portant industry-fishing.
 CONCERNING TROLLERS
 Andy Barlow of the United Trol- lers of Alaska read a number of suggestions put forth by his group concerning trollers in relationship to seines and traps, and also con- corning certain areas of closure.
 A point which brought forth con- siderable comment from his list eners was that "all areas open to salmon fishing should be open to gill netters, and all areas closed, should be closed to gill netters."
 Barlow maintained that present methods were discriminatory.
 He also said that the FWS policy of opening the season later each year cut into the trollers' take or silvers, as they cant make living on Kings alone"
 He suggested the closure of sein- ing and traps for three days each week to lengthen the season and allow more escapement, and asked for more stringent regulations all along the line.
 He asked that halibut boats be prevented from carrying nets to

Becomes Senate Mute,

Once elected, MT. Downey went to Washington in blaze of promises and expectations and simply sat. He took no vigorous stand on any isssue And 1t was only after many years as a Senate mute that the much-heralded gentleman from southern California finally got ac- tive. Believe it or not, his activity was then cast on the side of those who originally tried to defeat him.
 Sheridan, for strange reasons best known to himself. came out on the side of the big ranchers and the big utilities.
