ready done.
Labor and liberal groups have
opposed any pricing legislation, on
grounds that the Federal Trade
Commission should be free to police
industry, not tied down by restric-
tive legislation that can't possibly
deal with day-to-day problems.
If the Senate now passes the bill
in similar quickie move, it will
be on it's way to becoming law,
a law that labor representatives
regard as one of the most destruc-
tive to be passed by recent Con
crosses.

Senate Rejects
0Ids AS Smear
Campaign Wins

Washington (LPA)-After bit
ter debate lasting until early in the
morning of Oct. 13, the Senate re-
jected by an overwhelming So to
Is vote President Truman's nomi-
nation of Leland Olds for another
term on the Federal Power Com
mission.
The attempt, originating with oil
and gas industry lobbyists here, to
smear Olds because of his writings
for the labor press 25 years ago,
was successful, despite last
minute speech by Sen. Paul Doug
las CD, Ill., attempting to clear the
air.
Douglas, who led the floor fight
for Olds, pointed out that while on
FPC Olds has eliminated about ST.
250,000,000 of ''water" from utili-
ties stock, has saved consumers of
electricity and gas at least $45,-
100000 year, and during the war
averted a serious power shortage.
Sen. Wayne Morse (R, Ore.),
one of two Republicans who voted
for the abor-backed Olds, told the
Senate that "Just because the
Texas Oklahoma oil-gas contin-
gents, not wanting open and above
board regulation of their industry
therefore oppose this confirmation,
it must not be assumed that bust
nessmen generally who have ap-
peared before the FPC during the
10 years when Olds has been a
member are opposed to him. In
fact, the record shows just the OPP
posite."
The gas industry, Morse said
bluntly, "is moving heaven and
earth to get Mr.. Olds off the Com
mission charged with enforcing
this act because he has taken the
Natural Gas Act seriously"
Most vitriolic attack on Olds
came from Sen. Edwin c. Johnson
Cd, Colo), who called his "a wrap
ed, mischievous, egotistical channel
con, whose predominant color is
pink"
Sen. Hubert H Humphrey ID,
Mimi listed dozens of editorials
in influential dailies urging Olds'
confirmation, and also told the
Senate of the scores of letters he
had received from farm, coop and
labor groups backing President
Truman's nominee.
Both New York Senators, Repub-
licans Irving Ives and John Foster
Dulles, spoke in opposition to Olds,
as did Sen. Homer Capehart Or,
INDY, Herbert r. OConor Cd,
Md, and Lyndon Johnson Cd,
Tex.
The already "extra ordinarily
profitable" oil industry plans to ex-
tract from the public as much as
$4,000, ,000,0 900 if it wins it's fight
and President Truman doesn't NOM
mate an equally staunch public de-
fender, it was revealed by Sen.
James Murray Cd, Mont a veter-
an battler with big business mon
opolies. The figures were not chal-
lenged even by Sen. Robert Kerr
Cd, Okla.), himself big oil oper-
ator.
In fact, Kerr agreed with Muir
ray that the issue is whether or
not the government should protect
household and industrial consum-
ers of natural gas by controlling
the prices charged.

Senator Magnuson Wants Congress 10 Act on Pro-
 posed Abandonment

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-R- Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) said today the Air Force should not shut down airbases in the Aleutians until Congress decides this should be done.
 The Senator told a reporter he has been informed the Air Force proposed deactivation of four small bases in the islands off Alaska be- cause of the necessity of keeping within it's budget.
 q believe" Magnuson said, "thc Air Force should delay the Aleu- ton deactivation until other con- solidations it is planning as econ cmy measures are completed. Then Congress will be able to pass upon the merits of Air Force proposals to keep the Aleutian bases open be- fore it becomes necessary to close them.
 "In view of the large sums being spent to arm Europe it is regrettable that we can't find enough money to keep the Aleutian bases operat- ing"
 Magnuson also predicted the ses- sion of Congress opening next month will 'sbe the busiest and most important" in years.
 He said he would seek a definite commitment for construction of the proposed $7O0,ooo,00o railroad from the United States through Canada to Alaska.
 He said he would also work for adequate defenses for the Terri tory.

 Military Bases, RR

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-tR--The Chi cago Tribune, in a dispatch from it's Paris correspondent, today said Soviet Russia is making intensive efforts" to prepare it's Arctic reg ions for a possible U. s. war.
 The correspondent, Henry Wales wrote he had obtained his infor- nation from two escapees from forced labor projects in the area.
 The principal points of Wales account were:
 The two main military bases are newly created cities, Vorkoutsk and Tiksi, at the mouths of the Potshura and Lena Rivers. Other ports have been developed a5 the mouths of the Dvina, Ob, Yenessei Ingirka, and Amur Rivers.
 A strategic railway is being con- structed from Lake Baikal to the Bering Sea opposite Alaska, but the Red Army is utilizing frozen rivers as it's chief highways.
 Some 300 meteorological stations have been established in the Arc tic regions.
 Wales wrote: This information and a detailed description of thu operations were obtained from al eye witness who was sentenced tt forced labor on Nova zembla, bu became i'll and was evacuated tt Vorkoutsk whence he escaped through the Iron Curtain to France
 Other information was given b. a political prisoner employed oi the project who fled from the con centration camp"
 He added, from bases in Fran; Josef Land, Dicksen Island, ant Spitzbergen, the Red Army plans operations via northern Greenland to northern Canada within easy range of the United States"

Testimony in Russian Aton,
EIGHT YEARS
 AGO TODAY
 ON SUNDAY
(By Associated Press)

Eight years ago today this country was forced into World War Two when the Japanese launched their ruthless and destructive attack on Pearl Harbor. And today, on the eighth anniversary of Pearl Har- bor, this is how our military forces look:
 We have a bigger Air Force than we had eight years ago.
 Our Army and Navy are smaller, but each of those forces has big reserve of trained men.
 A grim reminder of December Seventh 1941 still can be seen at Pearl Harbor. The twisted super structure of the battleship Arizona juts above the water. Many of her crew on that Sunday morning still are entombed in the hulk. The Arizona rests where she fell-as a monument to the first Americans to die in World War Two,
 A small party went aboard the half-sunk vessel today as a chap lain said a prayer.
 The Japanese, whose Naval fliers dealt the surprise blow at Pearl Harbor, however, weren't remember ing. Nothing was done in Japan on this day to remind them.
 Instead, the Japanese were wor- rying about day" of their own perhaps Tokyo Day" Many among them fear the cold war will turn hot. That, they believe, would inevitably involve Japan.
 Japan never forgets the proximity of Russia. Now Russia says it has added atomic weapons to it's arsen- al. That makes Japan shiver.
 In the Philippines to the south, hatred of Japan remains still strong. Filipinos cannot so soon forget the iron reign of the Japanese con- queror
 The hostility is so great that the Philippine Foreign Office is said to have served notice on General MacArthur it could not guarantee the safety of a proposed Japanese trade mission.
 The only observance of the day in the Pacific was at Pearl Harbor itself.
 It was a simple service, held at the sad, rusting monument to the day that thrust the United States into the worst war i.c h-s- tory.
