DEFENSE
 SYSTEM
 FOR INV.

SEATTLE, Sept. 26IR-An elab- crate aerial defense system i'm proved from World War II, was dis closed today to te operating 24 hours a day in the Pacific North west.
 Every plane that takes off from a Pacific Northwest field or enters the area is detected by radar and identified at a control center.
 If Identification is not established immediately armed interceptoi planes are sent up. It is partl, practice, partly precautionary. Operation of the defense setur was reported today by the Seattle Times, the Everett, Wash, Herald and Rep. Henry Jackson D-Wash) Reporters for the two papers toured defense installations with Jackson and military authorities cleared their stories-with specific loca- tions, radar ranges and number oi aircraft omitted for security req sons.
 The newspapers said the contro center, established by the Fourth Air Force for Washington Oregon Idaho and Montana, is located somewhere near Puget Sound The aircraft warning system anc interceptor planes of both the Ail Force and Navy based in this area are under a single command.
 The Northwest's probable targets have been catalogued and plans have been made to defend them Back tone of the system is the radar network.
 "The general scheme" the Times story said, lis to try to knock down the enemy far from the targets, or at least force him to dump his bombs before he enters the target area"
 Alaska, in another defense area, was not covered in the newspaper survey, nor was any information included on whether similar net works operate in other sections of the United States.
 The stories said, however, that this area has been given high priority for modern equipment be- cause of it's geographic location.

LABOR BOOM ON
 IN WEST ALASKA;
 MEN, NOT WOMEN

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 26.-- R-After a spring and summer slump, the labor boom is on again in West Alaska But not for wo- men.
 Private contractors are swamping the Alaska Territorial Employment Service with demands for men, both skilled and unskilled. There are, however, few calls for women workers.
 The government isn't hiring as many as in the past William V. Frisby, acting manager of the Elm ployment Service, reported today.
 He said Anchorage employment was at an all-time peak in Sep tember, with 10000 persons employ ed, and many jobs still thrilled.
 Placements by this office sur- passed totals of any previous month. We have more openings than we can fill. Both skilled and unskilled workers are fn great demand, Frisby declared.
 Government agencies and private contractors are deluging the service with lists for job openings, but there are few takers.
 There are many openings for ex- perienced men in the heavy equip ment field. Euclid drivers, Turna- pull operators and blade dozer men are most in demand
 We have been unable to fill a large number of requests for such tradesmen as roofers, electricians, plasterers and finish-carpenters,' z Fribsy said.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

tcopyright, 194s. by Bell Syndicate, Inc WASHINGTON-Two men domi- nate the policies of the giant U. s. Steel Corporation, and will also largely decide whether or not the nation is stymied by a steel strike. They are:
 Ben Fairless-President of U. s. Steel, son of Welsh coal miner, who taught school, came up the hard way and is generally sympa- thetic to labor
 Enders Voorhees, -s Chairman of the finance committee of U. s. Steel, son of bank president, a tightfisted New York Dutchman, and an accountant whose job it is to pinch pennies for J. P. Morgan and Co.,, which largely controls U. s. Steel.
 These two men sometimes dis agree. And their disagreement rep resents seesaw between liberal and conservative policies which have alternated in the management of U. S. Steel and J. P. Morgan.

Atomic Power Now Claimed
 By Russia; Uranium Is Big Topic; Control Issue Is Up
tBy The Associated Press)

Uranium-four-S syllable synonym for destruction-still dominated the worlds news today. Statesmen of both East and West still talked of international control of atomic pow CT, but the indication that Russia now has an atomic weapon raised 'specter of an arms race that could lead to cataclysm.
 The Russians said they still want international control. So does the United States. Despite this apparent meeting of minds on the part of the statesmen there is no agreement The types of control the Soviet Union wants bears no resemblance to the control urged by the West
 What Russia .sants
 Tass, the Soviet news agency, said the Russians stand on thier former position. This would mean absolute prohibition of the use of atomic weapons. But the Russians want first. before any convention is signed. the destruction of present stockpiles. At the same time the Russians insist upon retention of the. big power veto in matters dealing with atom control, stand which could make any agreement on the atom worth little more than the paper it is written on.
 Russian Bluff
 Tass said Russia has had an atomic weapon since 1947. This was discounted as bluff aimed at indicating she already has begun stockpiling The opinion in the West is that she is at a point now where the Americans were in July, 1945, when the first atom bomb was exploded in New Mex ico desert.
 Some western observers expressed hope that Russia now would make some concessions to the West in the longtime quarrel over atom control, to avoid potentially dis astrous standoff
 New Uranium Mine
 A new uranium mine is reported opened in Communist dominated Czechoslovakia under the direction of Soviet engineers. At least two Czech mines are known to be sending to Russia now quantities of uranium, source of atomic en- ergy.
 Franco Spain, already in possess sion of uranium deposits, is re- ported to have found new veins, a discovery which could enhance Franco's bargaining position in the West.
 Wants Setup Probe
 In the U. s. Congress, the ques- tion of American security wcs stressed One member of the House n-American Activities Committee, Rep. velde (R.-IlD spoke of de- manding Congressional investiga- tion of the entire American secur- ity setup.
 Chairman McMahon (D-Conn) of the joint Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, disclosed a pro- posed report on it's Atomic Energy Commission investigation is being revised in the light of the Russian Explosion and changes probably will be made in the section dealing with security measures.
 Russ Rocket Bases
 Russia, meanwhile, was reported to have dotted eastern Europe with launching bases for rockets dead Her than Hitler ever used in World War II. Reliable German sources said a Nazi-built plant in Soviet. occupied Germany is now producing rockets for Russia.
