 These moves he said, would build "a wall against communism in the Pacific' And he added they would give at least continued hope of some time turning China in the paths of freedom again"
 Taft told reporters that both U. S. naval power and air power should be used to defend Formosa and pre- vent the spread of communism in Asia.

 Along about then, Hansen told the Pacific Northwest scientific association, the entire Pacific Northwest will be covered by an ice coat many feet thick.
 He bases his prediction on the old-but scientifically proven saw that history repeats.
 The last glaciers of the north west disappeared from 5000 to 10000 years ago." he explained. "A new wet period started about 4,060 vars ago and the general trend has been toward continued coolness and increased moisture"

PAN AM. EXCURSION FARES ALASKA TO HAWAII

The Territories of Alaska and Hawaii will be linked directly to- gether with airline excursion fares for the first time in their history if the Civil Aeronautics Board ap- proves new tariffs which Pan American World Airways wants to put into effect.
 The new rates, designed to stim- ulate travel between "the 49th and 50th states" will offer round- trip tickets between Alaska points and Honolulu at one and one fourth the normal fare for one way passage.
 The proposed fares will offer a reduction of g per cent from al- ready-low winter season tariffs, it was pointed out by James walsh, Pan American district traf- fic manager in Nome.
 Walsh said that the reduced ratse will enable Nome residents to vacation in Hawaii at no great CT expense than would be involved in travelling to many winter resort or tourist areas in the States. All Alaska Hawaii travel under the proposed low fares will be routes via Seattle, with Alaska Clippers from Nome connecting there with transpacific Clippers. Tickets sold at the low round- trip rates will be honored between Seattle and Honolulu on either luxurious DC-4 Sleeperette planes or the huge, new double-decked Stratocruisers which Pan Ameri- can has placed in service on its principal Pacific routes. Spacious berths are offered on the double decked, 300 mile-an-hour Strato- cruisers at small extra charge.
 Under the tariff schedule for which Pan American is asking CAB. approval, the excursion round trip between Nome and Honolulu would cost $4O0. The fare would have a return limit of l20 days.

.U. 5. Strengthens Seventh Task Fleet
 ln Philippines
(By John M. Hiqhtower)

ASHIN GTON, (P) - The United States was reported today to be shaping vigorous new pol icy-backed by beefed-up Asiat- ic fleet-to block the spread of communism in the Far East.
 The navy said the 27,O00-ton, 45-plane aircraft carrier Boxer and two destroyers have been dis patched to strengthen the Seventh Task Fleet based in the Philip pines.
 Announcement of this shift in naval power followed a session between President Truman and his top military and diplomatic strategists. Members of the na- tional security council wouldn't say what went on, but it is known that planners have prepared blueprint on Asiatic policy for Mir. Truman's approval.
 At the same time, the state de- partment broadcast to U. s. ship ping lines warning from the Ma tionalist government of China that the approaches to Shanghai, the Chinese communists largest port, have been completely blocked by mines.
 That brought prompt response from H. J. Isbrandtsen, president of the Isbrandtsen Line. That company, practically the only one operating American ships in the area, has run into frequent trouble recently with Nationalist block ade ships.
 Isbrandtsen said in New York he has wired secretary Of state Acheson asking that a strong protest" be sent to the Nationalist government on the ground that mine-laying is "clear breach" of American-Chinese treaties.
 The Nationalists, led by Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, now have their headquarters on the is land of Formosa, not far from Okinawa.
 The new policy recommenda- tions, said to have been prepared for Mir. Truman by the state and defense departments, reportedly call for an American military mis- sion to Formosa-a proposal which was offered separately in an inter view by Senator Knowland R.- CalifD.
 KnoWland said such mission, even though relatively small" would be invaluable in directing American military aid and in help ing to train Chiang's troops.

ARMED PROTECTION FOR FORMOSA

WASHINGTON (4o)-Two Republican eaders-for- President Herbert Hoover and Senator Taft of Ohio the U S. to armed strength if necessary to protect Formosa from the Chinese communists.
 Their strong proposals spotghted the troubled China situation lawmakers flocked back to Capitol Hill for the second session of the 81st Congress.
 Ire Administration is working new strategy aimed at checking communism in the Far East.
 However President Truman is reported to be firmly opposed sending American troops to the defense of Formosa This does rule out the possibility of SUD- plying economic aid to advice to the Chinese Nationalist defenders of the Island.
 Hoover-now the COPS elder statesman-said the government should use American naval power if sary to save Formosa and lesser islands lying off the coast of communicated China.
 He suggested threepoint program of U. s. military

LITTLE CHANCE FOR STATEHOOD"


 WASHINGTON, (P)-Advocates of Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii say they have good chance of win ming their long battles in the session of Congress opening yesterday
 But Senator Butler (R-Neb) who has successfully opposed addition of the 18th and 50th States told porter
 "The chance of Statehood for either in the sion or immediate future is very unlikely.
 Butler as ranking Republican member of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs committee outlined his reasons for opposition.
 'Peope in Alaska now are as well off as those in the States" he said 'The Territory has area twoffths that of the United States but only about 8O000 900 residents when the armed forces are excluded"
 About 90 per cent of all Alaskan land is in the public domain and would continue under federal controls and free of taxes even under Statehood, he added.
 As to Hawaii the Senator said Statehood should be deferred indefinitely until the people there demonstrate by positive steps determination to put down the men, of awlesS communism.
 Boosters for Alaska and Hawaii counting these points during the coming session.
 l. President Truman is expected again to recommend favorable action
 Oscar Chapman, new secretary of interior, is ex- pected to push the proposals with new vigor.
 B change in House rules will permit both measures, already approved by committee, to reach House vote even though delayed to date by the rules committee. Both Territories represented by Delegates In the House, who speak but not vote
 In 1947 the House passed statehood bill for HaWan but Senator Butler is credited with blocking Senate ton.
 Delegate Harrington (R-Hawaii) in separate inter- view said Senator Butler has been the principal Ob- struction to Statehood for than two and half years"
 Harrington said be expects an agreement between Statehood advocates for Hawaii and Alaska within the first 50 days of the session the House act both together"
 Butler said yesterday he retains the views that International revolutionary communism at present has firm grip on the economic, political, and social life of the Territory of Hawaii.
 In report to the Senate two years ago Butler review ed the strikes that had tied up industry and shipping to the Islands in recent years.
