Feldman Twists In Chair As Hunts Diary Is Read

WASHINGTON, (P)-Senate in- vestigators today confronted Maj. Gen. Herman Feldman with pas sages from a diary of James V. Hunt saying Feldman asked Hunt in l948 to get in touch with "con- tacts" in Congress about retire ment legislation for army officers.
 Shifting in the witness chair, Feldman admitted talking with Hunt about the matter but flatly denied asking Hunt to contact any one on Capital Hill. There is law against lobbying by army officers.
 Feldman, suspended quarter master general of the army, was on the witness stand for the sec ond day at the Senate inquiry into whether improper influence has figured in the handling of govern ment business.
 The special subcommittee con- ducting the investigation ques- toned Feldman at length regard ing his relations with Hunt.
 Other witnesses have testified that Hunt, who described himself as a management counselor, boast ed of an inside track to the White House through friendship with Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. Vaughan is President Truman's military aide.

Victoria Paper
 Says Rail Link To Alaska "PrObable"

VICTORIA, B. C., (H) - The Daily Colonist says in d news page story that a vital rail link between Seattle, Wash, and Alas ka, through British Columbia, now appears probable.
 Ii says news that the United States Senate foreign affairs com mittee again is urging President Truman to establish such a line," again brings forth hope that B. C. might receive additional financial aid, either from United States or Canada, and make possible exten- sions that this province might otherwise be unable to afford"
 The newspaper says the news is looked upon "as further evidence that the Pacific Great Eastern Railway may eventually become part of vital rail link between the United States and her northern Territory"
 Premier Johnson has already indicated he thinks the extension from Prince George to the Peace River is justified on economic grounds and would lead to tre- mendous development of central and northern B. C.
 The Senate committees resolu- ton, paralleling a similar resolu- ton by the House committee was suggested as a means of bolsterine Alaskan defenses.
 It asked President Truman to determine Canada's attitude on extending the railway north from Prince George to the Alaska bounC dary and to have surveys made which would take the line north ward from the B. C. boundary tC Fairbanks.
 The CoIonist says: Sources be lieve United States railroads, rec ognizing that rail link with Alas ka is inevitable, are pushing the B. C. route in the hope that most of the eaSt-WeSt traffic will be on U. s. lines to Seattle and then north, via Canadian lines.
 The alternative route through Alberta would mean reduced traf- fife on the United States side oi the boundary. What Alberta lost B. C. would gain, not only in fi- nancial aid, but in increased traf- fife over the P.G.E. as Alaskan de- velopment continued"
