Tourist Office welcome centers at
strategic points along tourists

Under the French heading of
Commissariat General au Tour

with basic travel, data, latest in

find the best wines and souvenirs,
and also answer countless other
questions. .
In Paris, the Commissariat

cellent shops. theatres and res
taurants and close by bus and sub
way stops.
In lie Havre, port of transatlan-

route to Ocean City, however, for
all but those familiar with the
alternate route. There are too
many route changes on the sec

the roads are not as good.

The motor trip to either of

travellers heading for Chesapeake

At Sandy Point, the motorist
may find he can get a ferry with

the population of the state in relation to the total
population of the United States This is little tough
on sparsely populated States Another factor is the
area of the State relation the total area of the
United States. And this is advantageous to large
States like Texas Montana and Alaska, should it be-
come State, The third is the number of miles of
roads in the State under consideration with respect
to the total number of miles of roads in the United
States And this, of course, works something of a
hardship States whose total road mileage is small
But even so, it works out to a pretty fair dis
trbution of the available funds
Now there are certain things State has to per-
form before it be eligible to participate in this
program First of ALL it must set UP. at its own ex-
pense a State Highway Department in conformity with
established standards. This Highway Department
must be stated with competent engineers designers,
craftsmen, mechanics and such other personnel as its
program demands. 1t must possess and operate all
necessary equpmentdozers, graders, scrapers, snow
pows etcfor the construction of roads to rigid speci
cations and for the maintenance of those roads in an
acceptable of repair The organization and equip
ment of this Highway Department must be approved
bv the Secretary of Commerce before participation is
authorized And incidentally the work must be done
by the State Highway Department-not by private
contractors.
We aren't going to attempt an estimate OF the
cost of organizing and equpplng sucn DepaIOine
here in Alaska Let us instead, continue.
Let us say that the State has succeeded IN Or
ganizing and equipping its Highway Department. APP
prova of its participation has been secured and FED
eral funds have been earmarked Tor Its ROAD coStu
ton program. What next?
AT its own expense the State must plan where II
will build its road survey the land design the roao
and prepare engineering drawings complete with
material specifications and cost estimates. This, too
is expensive.
If and when all this preliminary work meets WIFI
Federal approval the State must match the Federal
funds and then - and not before, may begin con-
struction
When the road has been completed and is bearing
rattle its maintenance becomes the obligation OF the
State Highway Department. How much OF the cost OF
repair and maintenance will be borne by the Feoeral
government?
NOT ONE DIME!
The State must maintain its roads at its own
expense.
During the fiscal year 1851, the Federal govern
ment will spend approximately $3,885,OO0oo 1or the
maintenance only of Alaska's roads AND thae Inquire
will increase annually as new, needed roads are con-
structed

he 500 80 due from every man. woman and child IN the
Territory.
And that's just one of the added costs that would
come with statehood.

ways get in to see the President,
even in these busy days, is forth
right Andy Biemiller of Wisconsin.
Truman is genuinely fond of the
Wisconsin liberal, who has been a

The fact this has won him the
bitter opposition of the big Hobbies,
including the American Medical
Association, is a matter of pride
to Biemiller.

HIGHWAY TO STATEHOOD

Along with the blessings of sovereign statehood
come number of responsibilities. One of these is
the obligation of the state to build and maintain ade-
quate roads and highways within its borders.
To assist the states in this work, the Federal
government has made available matching funds under
the Highway Act and the Federal Aid Act But there
are several strings to this participation However
they're reasonable safeguards against unwise dssi-
patton of public funds and they operate to assure
equitable distribution of these funds among the several
states

should receive several factors considered One

Other Mata Haris??

The case of Kim 500 I'm and
Colonel Baird probably could have
taken place in various parts OF the
world-especially in Japan and
Germany, where American troops
are stationed far from home and
families. And what the Army is
worried about right now is that
other Communist spies might be
planted on American officers.
Colonel Baird, 60 years old, born
in Ireland, was a policeman in
Rhode Island and reserve officer
when he joined the Army as a
Major in 1941. He was stationed
in Korea for four years, three of
them as Provost Marshall, one of
them as senior adviser to the
Korean National Police"
Kim 500 I'm, orphaned at an
early age, was raised by an Ameri-
can missionary family and educated
in an American school. She spoke
English perfectly, acquired the WV
aciousneSs of an American girl.
When American troops entered
Korea she served as hostess at
the Banta Hotel in Seoul, which
was General Hodges headquarters
This was the U. S. Army's nerve
center and it gave her access to all
sorts of gossip and tidbits which
she relayed to her Communist hus-
band.
During her trial it developed
that Kim had given the Commun-
lists the complete plans for the
withdrawal of U. S. troops from
Korea. 1t was also revealed that
she had large amount of japanese
Yen and was spending it in Seoul,
perhaps for bribery, perhaps to
create initiation.
Colonel Baird left Korea on June
3. at about the time his mistress
was executed. He is now on leave
from the Army.

COunterespiOnage?

When the above facts, plus a
great many others, were disclosed
officially at the time of Kim 500
Inns trial, Colonel Baird gave the
official explanation that he was
using the lady as his interpreter
and to get information from her
If SO, he was not very success
full. For subsequent developments
have shown that the Communists
knew all about our military opera
tions, while we knew little about
them.
Furthermore, when Kim 500 I'm
was tried, last May, the Koreans
amassed such overwhelming evil
dence against her that she con-
fessed all. Colonel Baird, who had
been in intimate day-to-day con-
tact with her, was made to look
extremely foolish for not having
known the same facts.
1t was even reported that Ma
dame Kim had hidden her Com
munist husband in the home OF the
American Army colonel for few
DAYS when the search for him was
getting hot. The colonels house was
a big one, so this was not difficult
to do without Baird's knowing it.
For more than a year, Lee Kang
Kook managed to foil the South
Korean police and American mill
tary. Eventually, he escaped into
North Korea in an American Army
Jeep-by courtesy Of Colonel Baird's
mistress.

Communist Husband Escapes

Colonel Baird had given his lady
love a new Chrysler. However, she
did not use this car to take her
husband across the 18th parallel.
Instead, she finagled a jeep from
the Army motor pool and had 1t
driven by a trusted Communist
Driver, Choi Yong Tai.
Lee was disguised as a doctor
and Kim went along to tell the
border guards that her mother
was desperately i'll in North Korea
and the doctor was on his way to
see her. Thus the No. 2 Communist
of Korea escaped-thanks to the
u. S. Army.
On one occasion, when Kim
wanted to get an Army jeep for a
trip up near the 38th parallel,

However, because of American
prestige, Koreans did nothing about
the situation. After all, Americans
were Korea's benefactors, the train
ers of Korean troops, in effect the
rulers of the country Colonel Baird
himself was senior adviser to the
Korean Army. So it was embar-
assing to make any protest.
