BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Last-minute arguments on three major bills will prevent Congress from adjourning tomorrow.
 Heading the list of pending bills are: Farm legislation, a displaced persons bill and the military ap- propriations bill A joint confer ence committee also is trying to work out differences in the mini mum wage tills passed by both houses.
 Today the full Senate resumes the debate on displaced persons bill passed by the House. The measure would let 339,0o0 DPS into the country in three years. Present pro- visions would let in POS, 1000 in two years.
 Senate Majority Leader Scott Lucas has described the fight against the bill as a filibuster, but he says that debate will continue as long as most members remain on hand.
 Republican Senator Harry Cain of Washington spoke for hours against the bill yesterday. Repunli- can Senators William Langer of North Dakota and Forrest Donnell of Missouri are expected to make lengthy speeches against the mea- sure today.

TRUMAN IS GIVEN TIP,
 BITTER ROW
Congressmen Propose Civ- iIian Board Be Named 10
 Settle Defense Plan Now
BY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-tR- Two key congressman proposed to- day that President Truman name a civilian board to referee the bitter row over defense plans which has erupted in the Armed Forces.
 Their suggestion closely para lelled one already offered MT. Tru- man. The lawmakers proposal came on the heels of the Presidents news conference statement yester- day that he sees no need to change the fundamentals of present defense policy.
 Nevertheless, said Reps. Brooks (D-La) and Price D-IlD, there is disagreement and it should he settled. The two lawmakers are members of the House Armed Ser vices Committee.
 They brought up the plan after listening for more than week as the Navy fired repeated charges that the fighting power of the fleet is being weakened, while the Air Force gets funds and favors and builds B-36s to carry out kind of warfare that the Admirals called wrong.
 Previously the Air Force had made the giant intercontinental bomber sound like good thing to lot of Congressmen.
 Brooks suggested to reporter that the civilian board be named to find out who is right and settle the trouble that has boiled up in the Armed Forces. Price nodded agreement.
 The Navy sent in its top officer, Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, to wind up it's case yesterday. The Marines take over Monday. Then the big trass and civilian chiefs of the Army and Air Force, and Secretary of Defense Johnson, get their chance to sound off.

ALASKA PUBLIC
 WORKS MONEY
 OKEHED BY COM.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-tR-The House Appropriations Committee to- day provided S1,000,000 in cash and $4,000,0O0 in contract authorization for Alaska Public Works in the sec ond supplemental appropriation bill.
 The money is to start the $70,- 000,00O community facilities pro- gram in the Territory.
 The Budget Bureau asked $2,000,- coo cash and $8,000,000 in contract authorization to initiate the work.
 The committee said it believed the sum allowed will meet all expenses of the program during the current fiscal year ending June 30.
 The committee rejected budget recommendation for an additional $4,500,000 in contract authority for construction of civil airports at Anchorage and Fairbanks. It said appropriations and contract author izations totaling $l2,50O,000 already have been provided for the project which is estimated to cost S13,000,- GOO.
 The committee said it will give the Civil Aeronautics Administra- ton an opportunity to justify an increase in the regular appropria- tions bill for next year.
 The committee gave tentative ap- proval to an appropriation of $32,- 100000 and contract authorization of 48,636, TOO for military construc- tion in Alaska and Okinawa. It also approved $20,000,0OO In cash and $28,834,770 in contract authoriz- ation for Air Force construction in Alaska and Okinawa.
 It eliminated budget request of $525,000 to pay overtime claims against the Alaska Road Commis- sion. It said justification for the request could be submitted next year.

Four-Point Program Calls for Agency Similar 10
 Proposed Agency

SEATTLE, Oct. 14-lR-An All aska development agency somewhat like the proposed Columbia Valley Administration will be brought be- fore the next Congress.
 This was the disclosure yesterday of William E. Warne, assistant Sec retary of the Interior, who is en route back to Washington, D. C., on completion of his fourth Alaskan inspection trip.
 In a speech before the Young Mems Democratic Club he outlined what he called the Interior Depart ment's four-point program for AL aska development:
 l. Statehood.
 2. A land settlement agency and law to replace the outmoded home stead act.
 3. A development agency, pat termed somewhat on the order of the proposed CVA, to utilize the hydro-electric resources of Alaska for industry and manufacturing. The agency's board would be made up of Alaskans. A bill along these lines will be submitted to the next Congress.
 4. Settlement forthwith of native claims, mainly in Southeastern AL aska, which have beclouded titles and are holding back development.
 Alaska must have it's own voice instead of absentee management. , Warne said, in advocating state hood.
 Greatest Forests"
 The development of the Territory, with its vast fishery resources and the greatest forests standing un- der American flag today" is vital to the growth of Seattle and the Northwestern states, he pointed out.
 "Of Alaska's 365 million acres, only 12,500 have been put under cultivation" Warne said, because "homesteaders just can't make a go of it alone" He said a "reclama- tion type" development is necessary to clear land and build roads be- fore the several million acres of agricultural land can be put to pro- fitable use.
 If this kind of program is car ried out" he said, i've can put 350,- 900 people in Alaska in 10 years time.
 "The most exciting thing that will happen in the United States kduring the next five years will be the development of Grand Coulee power and Columbia Basin lands It's only since we began to use the Columbia River that industrial growth came to the Northwest.
 "The same thing can, and must, if even for our own protec- tion-happen in Alaska

BOLD PLAN SUGGESTED
 BY LEWIS
Proposes AFL Join Him in Providing Millions for
 Steel Strikers

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w. Va, Oct. 14.--tR-John L Lewis of the United Mine Workers pro- posed today that the AFL union join with him in providing the striking CIO steelworkers with $2,500,O00 a week for an indefinite time.
 Lewis made sudden bid for la bor unity in two major strikes by writing to William Green, president of the AFL.
 Lewis proposed that nine of the AFL unions and his own United Mine Workers each contribute $250,000 every week to the CIO.
 The mine leader, whose own 400,- 900 soft coal workers have been on strike since Sept. 19 said this financial credit would enable the steeiworkers ito win beyond pre- adventure"
 In letter to Green, Lewis urg- ed the AFL president to "subordin- ate every other consideration and rise to meet in this fashion the giant adversaries which would deci- mate the major units of organized labor"
 In this way, Lewis who has fought both Green and Murray in the AFL and CIO, appeared to be making a tremendous bid to bring all of the major labor organiza- tions into a drive to fight what he called yesterday "a combina- tion" of powerful steel and finan- cial interests to break down unions.
 Lewis and his 600,000 member unions, were in the AFL until 1886 when he led the movement to or ganize mass production industries.

 DEFENSE HOUSING
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-(R-- Rep. Mitchell CD-Wash) recom- mended yesterday that the House Banking Committee consider creat- ing an Alaskan Defense Housing Corporation adequately capitalized to meet the minimum needs of the Alaska defense area"
 Mitchell, named by the commit tee to investigate Alaska housing, recalled that during the war the Defense Homes Corporation was financed by S600,o00,00o Recon struction Finance Corporation loan
 His proposal is in report to the committee on his investigation
 He said the lack of housing pre- vented stationing the necessary number of troops in the Territory needed for its defense
 The nation cannot afford such a situation, he said,
 Tt cannot afford not to have adequate protection for an impor- tant far north post such as Ladd Field Airforce Base" Mitchell con- tinued
 Mitchell urged that immediate steps be taken to improve not only quarters for troops serving in the Territory, but for civilian person. nel.
 Certainly on. the basis of per- sonal experience I agree with the troops stationed in Alaska" Mitch ell said, flor anyone who has not visited these bases it will be diff cult to envision the makeshift, ramshackle nature of the squalid shelter which goes under the name of housing for our military forces. ?

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

tCopyrient, l94S, by Bell Syndicate, 1nc.) VASHINGTON- Only a few in- siders know it, but President Tru- man has turned sour against his former Secretary of Agriculture, Clinton Anderson. In fact, the oth- CT day the President hurled his favorite insult against Anderson, now serving in the Senate from New Mexico. He called him a "big- interest man."
 What prompted this bitter epithet was Anderson's fight against flat, 90 per cent farm supports. The President had long suspected that Anderson was quietly knifing the Grammar farm plan, but the clinch- CT came when Anderson urged a compromise" 75 to 90 per cent, flexible price-support scale.
 Anderson had spread the impress sion that the President was back ing his compromise. Puzzled, a congressional visitor put the ques- tions warily to Truman.
 Tn the Senate" he said, Elmer Thomas (of Oklahoma) quoted you as being for 90 per cent parity, while Dick Russell (Georgia) said he understood you were against 90 per cent"
 T don't know how Dick got that idea" Truman broke in.
