 Col. Moves will inspect conditions and operations in Fairbanks, An chorage and Valdez areas, planning to return Thursday or Friday.

 Soviet Noise Blockade

WASHINGTON. May 7.-4R-The United States and Britain fire their opening guns today in an unpre- cedented peacetime radio war with Russia.
 In an attempt to smash through a Soviet noise blockade, they plan- ned to use battery of 6l trans mitters, all blasting at once, to hurl a barrage of Russian-language bruadcasts in the direction of Mos cow
 Assistant Secretary of State George V. Allen announced the campaign yesterday.
 He said the State Departments Voice of America programs would carry an announcement charging Russia with deliberate interfer- ence" which follows a pattern sim liar to the systematic jamming of shortwave boadcasts conducted by the Nazis during the war"
 Allen estimated that the Soviet radio has been using 60 transmit ters to block reception of American and British shortwave broadcasts in Russia. Up to now, the Voice has used no more than 10 transmitters to get through to the Russian peo- pie.
 The Soviet jamming started in earnest April 24 just before the first news of negotiations to end the Berlin blockade The State De- partment charged that the timing was deliberately designed to keep the Russian people from hearing the vests version of the agreement.
 Trying to slip some of its pro- grams through the Russian wall of noise, the Voice went on 24-hour schedule a few days ago. Officials i said that helped Yesterdays an- nouncement said the United States will continue beaming Russian broadcasts overseas on a round-the- clock schedule.
 Tn addition, both the Voice and the British Broadcasting Company will throw two new programs into ] the campaign.

By making mandatory the change in election dates from April to October, the 18th Legislature ere ated a real interim" problem for the city governments.
