BY NewboId koyes, Jr.
Ca ex-ff

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-William
Rosen, who according to Whit
taker Chambers. received an auto
mobile from Alger Hiss in 1947,
will be permitted to appear as a
Government witness in the second
Hiss perjury trial. Federal Judge
Henry w. Goddard ruled today.
Rosen. who disappeared shortly
before the first trial opened, was
located by Federal agents in Los
Angeles September 26. He is now
expected to be called to back up
the testimony of Alger Hiss chief
accuser, Whitaker Chambers.
In both trials, Chambers testi-
fed that Rosen was a member
Of the Communist Party in 1886.
It was to him. said Chambers.
that Hiss turned over his old Ford
roadster.
Defense Attorney Objects.
Judge Goddard ruled that Rosen
could be called as witness over
the objection of Defense Attorney
Claude B. Cross during a Is
minute conference in the Judges
chambers this morning.
Rosen was called as q witness
last year before the House Com
mittee on American Activities.
but refused to discuss his dealings
with Hiss, or his connections with
the Communist Party.
Walter H. Anderson. chief Of
the State Department records
branch, resumed the stand today
and continued Identification Of
secret documents Mr.. Hiss is
accused Of slipping to a Com
munist spy ring in the 1930s.
Secrecy Ordered.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Thomas F. Murphy. the pros
ecutor, has been ordered by the
court to keep secret the sequence
of his prospective witnesses, and
it is therefore not known who
will succeed Mr.. Anderson on the
witness stand when he is excused
today. It is considered possible,
however, that Mrs. Whitaker
Chambers, wife of the chief Gov
ernment witness against Mr.. Hiss,
will be called to testify later to-
day. 5r.r.
Mr.. Chambers, 48, who resigned
last year from a $50. .000-a-year
job as senior editor of Time Maga-
zine, is the ex-Communist agent
who says Mr.. Hiss gave him the
secret material in 1887 and 1888
for transmission to Russian spies.
Resigned Job Last Year.
Mr.. Hiss. As. was a State De-
partment official for 10 years and
resigned last spring from a $40
000-a-year job as president Of
the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace. He is accused
! of falsely denying to q Federal
Grand. Jury that he gave any
secrets TO Mr.. Chambers.
Mr.. Hiss first trial on the
charge resulted In a hung jury
last July 8. # convicted, he faces
a possible maximum penalty Of
10 years imprisonment and $1Q-
900 in fines.

Vast Expansion Suggested by Sharply Divided
 Hoover Com.

WASHINGTON, March 17.--R-- A sharply divided Hoover Commis- sion today urged major changes in the Interior Department to tighten efficiency and eliminate disastrous y wasteful conflict"
 In a report to Congress studded with "dissents,' "abstentions' and further views" by individual mem- hers, the 12-man commission pro- posed vast expansion sof the de- partment to include all major pub lie works" projects.
 If a similar proposal offered in 1924 had been followed then, the government reorganization group declared, hundreds of millions of dollars would have been saved to the pubic over these years" Now, t added, it is complete necess- lty.'
 The commission majority recom- mended major divisions for the re- organized department which includ- ed.
 Division of Territories and Island Possessions ito remain with the Interior until Congress sets policy for administering overseas areas.

NAVAL STRENGTH
 OF RUSSIANS ON
 PACIFIC IS LARGE

TOKYO, March 17.-R-If war breaks out in the Pacific, it is believed Russian naval strength would be greater than that of the United States. According to avail able information the Soviet Far Eastern fleet is bigger now that it was at the end of the war. The Russians have six cruisers, a num- Der of destroyers, and between 72 and 100 submarines. Whats more, they are continuing to build new ships in Vladivostok.
 American naval officers say this country's naval force from Hawaii to the Indian Ocean is doing its job, in effect, on a shoestring. And even at that, the Navy's strength is being reduced in line with a "Eu- rope-first" policy.
 Key officers say they have lost out in bid to get another destroy CT division assigned to the area, and a cruiser has been taken away. Washington has ordered 50 per cent cut in Pacific cruiser strength, and a 25 per cent cut in the des- troyer force.

 The CIO Marine Cooks and Stew ards union currently holds col lective bargaining rights for stew ard personnel on all ships Operat- ing out of Pacific Coast ports. The petition was filed on behalf of the Pacific Marine Stewards Union, a division of the SUP.

FRANKFURT, Germany, March 17.-tR- A minor panic gripped backward rural areas of Western Germany today over rumors of the lend of the world
 The rumors that the day is the last day for mankind nave been growing throughout Germany for several weeks. They have been bas- ed upon a publicized prediction Of an astrologer whom nobody can identify.
 Most city dwellers went gaily about their work, but reports from Bavaria said superstitious country folk were Hooking to churches and making their wills.

TRUMAN'S FAIR DEAL PROGRAM

New Coalition Southerners and Republicans Ap-

WASHINGTON. March 17.-tR- Capitol Hill leaders hold out little hope for President Trumans Fair Deal program. Privately, they say that the new coalition of southern CTS and Republicans has the up- per hand.
 Today that coalition may come through with victory in the fight to change Senate rules. Administra- ton leader Scott Lucas of Illinois has conceded defeat, and he hopes to get the issue to final vote before the end of the day. Several speakers remain to be heard, how ever.
 President Truman may have his say tomorrow. He's maintained sil- ence as Congress has. rebuffed him on measure after measure this week. But tomorrow morning he'il meet newsmen at the winter White House in Key West, Florida. And the next day-Saturday-hell re- turn to Washington after a two- week rest.

 Then she saw that a crew hair cut was all the young man had on. He started climbing out of the car. apparently more interested in getting to Miss Davis than Mont rose.
 She dashed into nearby house and called police. The nudist had lied by the time the law arrived.

ALASKA HOUSING REQUIRES QUICK
 ATTENTION NOW
Witnesses Urge Approval of Fifteen Million Dollar
 Program-TeII Why
By CHARLES D. WATKINS


 WASHINGTON, March 17.-IR- Alaska's housing problems were des- cribed to a Senate Banking Com mittee yesterday by witnesses who urged prompt approval of a $15,- 100000 program.
 They told the committee that if the legislation is enacted in the next six weeks the Alaska Housing Authority could start construction of 1,500 housing units next summer.
 And, they urged that permission be included to permit putting floors and roofs on Eskimo igloos.
 Needs of Eskimos
 That, said Father Paul c. O'Con- nor. of Hooper Bay, Alaska, is all the Eskimos need, for they are not ready for a modern house as known in the United States.
 He said putting floors in the ig- loos and roofs over thtLl to kee, out the dampness had been known to cut tuberculosis amorg the Es- kimcs by 80 per cent
 w. E. Warne, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, testified present housing in the Territory is made quate And more people. he said, are needed there for national de- fense and developing the Territory
 People in some parts of the Territory" he said. "are living in garages, attics, basements and i, cheap, inadequate cabins and what is worse, are paying fantast.c prices for such space.
 Higher Ancnorage Prices
 "One family. in Fairbanks has been paying $1l0 monthsefor 2 one-room shack. nine feet by thir- teen feet in size.
 "A rental of $500 per month is being paid for two room quarters in Anchorage with sub-standard wiring. In another instance, in Anchorage, one-room, tar-papered shack rents for $125 month.
 "As final example, row of log cabins in Anchorage has seven housing units, about 2 1-3 small rooms each, which command a rental of $200."
 The n.casure would provide a broader lending authority than is customary in the United States. It would provide for a secondary market for mortgages. so banker9 could use them as liquid assets. The Alaska Housing Authority would be allowed to construct housing plo- jects on government land and the $15,000,000 revolving fund, to be re- paid in 40 years, could ne used fo. housing projects by the AHA or for loans to public or private agen- cies.
 Kenneth Kadow, director of the Alaska Field Service of she Interior Department, testified contractors are ready to start work on housing as soon as the legislation is enact ed.
 Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) said the Army's program in the Territory will be speeded up this summer, adding to the need for housing. The same witnesses will testi- fly before the House Banking Com mittee tomorrow.
