House Committee Call!
3 AdmiroIs in Inquiry
Opening Tomorrow

The House Armed Services Com
mittee recommended today that
the Navy fire Cedric R. Worth. a
civilian aide, who admitted writ
ing the mysterious memorandum
which touched off a congressional
investigation of the Air Forces
B-36 bomber program.
Shortly afterwards. it was
learned that Mr.. Worth resigned
August 30. four days after he was
suspended, and that the resigna-
ton was accepted on September 2.
The House committee also
voted to begin tomorrow a search
ing study of the roles of the vari-
GUS armed services in the Nations s
defense plans.
Taking note of reports of disin-
tegrat ting Navy morale, Chairman
Vinson said firmly in announcing
plans for the new hearings:
THE Navy will have it's day in
court"
Resignation Accepted.
It was learned that Mr.. Worth
submitted his resignation in one
sentence letter on August 30-four
days after his suspension-to be
effective as of that date. Three
days later it was accepted in an
other one-sentence letter by As
sistant Secretary John T. Koehler,
who was the acting secretary.
A naval spokesman said that
on August "a, Secretary Of the
Navy Matthews had ordered Mr..
Worth to show cause why he
should not be suspended. Mr..
Worth did not reply and sus-
pension followed. ...
The two days were considered
"a reasonable time" for a reply
which was one of Mr.. Worth's
rights as a veteran under civil
service regulations and the Vet
Grams Unemployment Act. the
Navy official explained.
It was not made clear why the
Navy has made no official an
nouncement OF the resignation or
its acceptance.
Navy Presses Own Probe.
Meanwhile, the Navy went for
ward with its own inquiry into
circumstances surrounding sur
reptitious distribution to press as
sociations of confidential COM
ments by three top admirals indi-
eating their fears for the future
of the naval service.
Mr.. Vinson said the first wit
nesses will include the three ad-
mirals. They are Admiral Den
field, Chief of Naval Operations;
Admiral Arthur w. Radford, Pa
ciflc Fleet commander, and Vice
Admiral Gerald F. Began, COM
mander of the 1st Pacific Task
Fleet. Secretary Matthews also
will be an early witness.
The papers were a letter from
Admiral Began to Secretary
Matthews with forwarding in
dorsements from Admirals Rad
ford and Denfeld.
In recommending discharge OF
Mr.. Worth, who was a special
assistant to Undersecretary of the
Navy Dan A. Kimball until his
suspension in connection with the
B-36 document, the committee
noted that it's investigation es-
tablished no substantiation for the
charges of irregularities in pro-
curement of the six-engined in
tercontinental bomber.
All Charges Found False.

rected to sift the facts concerning

Force handled orders for it, ha'

Krise Brothers Withdrew

Last weeks talent team entry of Leonard and Lowell KriSe in the coming contest sponsored by the Matanuska Valley Fair was just another spoiled record entry in fair books this week. Father Gervase Krise, who entered the two, erred slightly in calculating the date of Lowell's birth. After Mrs. Krise checked the rules and added ages, she regretfully an- nounced that Lowell would have to wait another year to meet the fairs minimum age requirement of 16 years.
 In the meantime, Fair Man ager Charles Dillon still was searching for added talent con- testants this week. To date, Larry Stock remains the sole en- trant in this contest.
 Several professional artis ts are reported to be considering entering in their division, but to date none have made official an- nouncement of their entry.

Locoi ACS Con Now
 Handle Money Orders

The Palmer ACS office is now handling telegraphic money or ders, it was announced this week by MISgt. Wayne Wheeler. Wire money order transfers will be accepted to all points in the states and Canada, he said.
 Because of changes of policy in ACS headquarters offices in Seattle, the recent announce ment permitting the placing of wires by phone in Palmer was premature, Sergeant Wheeler pointed out. Until Sept. 1, wires must be brought to the office rather than placed by telephone.
 Hours at the Palmer office are from 8 a. m. to p. m. on week days and from to g a. m. and to 4 D. m. on Sundays.

MT. Hart is the second representative to ar rive here under the plan.
 While MT. Hart was keeping the Palmer headquarters office in working trim, H. G. Bryan, REA's Alaska representative, was awaiting favorable weather at Fairbanks to fly to Kotzebue. That community is being con- sidered as the possible location for another REA Alaskan power cooperative.

Rebuild Fish Creek Bridge

Repair of the Fish Creek bridge and a protest over rumored planned legislation making it illegal to reach a hunting camp by air tractor, were the two is sues which received sportsmen's attention at last weeks meeting of the Matanuska Valley Sports men.
 A work party was organized for last Tuesday evening to repair the Fish Creek bridge. Timbers were supplied by the Alaska Road Commission and were placed by a volunteer crew re- cruited from the SportSmen's ranks. The Fish Creek area is well-travelled when the salmon runs commence.
 Members of the club also voted to write the Fish and Wild Life Service headquarters at Juneau, to register a protest against purported pendin g legislation which would require that hunt ing camps be reached by pack train only. It is believed the legislation is being considered, and it would halt the present practice of travelling to and from camps by plane or tractor, with game killed also being transported in the same manner.
 Men on the rifle range com mittee were asked to meet and select a work night date, in or der that the range at the Butte can be readied for fall shooting, Club members were told the trap also must be moved again.

ARC Crews Work On Willow Creek Road

Alaska Road Commission crews began to open the snow-blocked Willow Creek summit highway last Monday. In addition to re- moval of an excessively deep blanket of snow, the ARC crew must rebuild a three-mile stretch of highway which has washed out below Lucky Shot mine.
 Clyde King, ST., ARC foreman, estimated that it would take at least two weeks to clear the snow from the summit. He placed no time limit on the road rebuilding operation, but expressed the hope it would be finished before next winters snow begins to fall in that area.

II Million Cost 10 ITU
Reported in Chicago Strike
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 30.-The Chi
cago Tribune has reported that
the international Typographical
Union-strike against the five Chi
cago daily newspapers has cost
the union nearly $11,000,000.
The story quoted the 1TU
Journal. It said $13,485 ,242 has
been paid by the union in strike
and special assistance benefits
since 1916. Nearly 100000 of
this went to $500 Chicago strikers
who left their jobs November "a,
1947.
From 1881 to 1s46, the story
said, 81 .350,610 was paid to strikers
off their jobs. Strike assessments
on ITU members are paid in ad-
dition to local dues and a per
capita tax.
The five Chicago papers have
been publishing with a photo-en-
craving process substituting for
the usual linotyping. Pickets have
been maintained at the plants
since the original walkout.
Negotiations have continued
looking toward settlement, but are
not in progress now. The final
offer of the publishers was re-
jected this spring by the local.

Dewey Believed Told
Nothing Doing on Aid
To Nationalist China |
Nv the Asxoeiutsd Press


ALBANY, N. Y, July 30.-Gov.
Dewey awaited congressional and
public reaction today to his head
on collision with the Truman ad-
ministration on new aid to shat
tered Nationalist China.
Gov. Dewey, who claims he in
augurated the bipartisan foreign
policy, apparently already has a
State Department answer-in ef-
feet, Nothing doing"
The New York Governor admits
his may be "a voice crying in the
wilderness" But he insists that
new aid right now. this summer"
plus a fortnight official United
States position Of support, could
still save free China from COM
plete Communist conquest.
The two-time Republican presi-
dental nominee feels so strongly
on his aid-to- Cinnamon proposal
that, in his own words. he has to
make "one more valiant effort to
turn the United States from what
I fear is a disastrous course"
First Scorching Attack.
The effort was his first scorch-
ing attack on the administration
since his defeat last fall by Presi-
dent Truman.
Gov. Dewey blasted what he
called the administrations no
policy-at-all" attitude toward
China. In a speech Friday at
Colgate University's foreign policy
conference he also called for
prompt new aid.
The State Department, by
coincidence, seems to have an
swered Gov. Dewey's last valiant
effort" right on the college cam
pus-several days before the Gov
ernor spoke.
Francis H. Russell. chief of the
State Department. Office OF Pub
lie Affairs, told the conference
that most of the Chinese people
had lost confidence in the Ma
tionalist government.
Criticizes Regime.
BY implication he criticized in
efficiency and corruption in the
regime of Chang Kai-shek.
During the war" Mr.. Russell
said, I'VE gave China all the as
sistance we possibly could. Fol-
lowing the war we sent vast aid
to China slightly more than so
per cent of the Nationalist gov
ernment's income was aid from
the United States.
THE NationaliStS had superb
ority of fire power over the Com
munists; they had an air force
and the Communists had none.
Yet most of the military equip
ment made available to the Ma
tionalists found its way into the
hands of the Communists.
Unable to Convince People.
"Why? In the last decade, the
Nationalist government has been
increasingly unable to convince
most of the people that the gov
ernment's policies were in the
interest of China and the people
as a whole and not in the in
terest of a small clique dominat-
ing the government"
The State Department official
said the, only way the United
States could possibly" have pre-
vented the Communist sweep
would have been to put American
generals in charge of the nom
Communist forces, send American
troops, and make vastly greater
amounts of economic assistance
available"
IF we had done that" Mr..
Russell added, We would have
succeeded in convincing the vast
majority of Chinese that we were
imposing on them by force a
government in which they had
lost confidence. That would be
the exact opposition Of the OBJ
jective we had started out to
