Veterdns Commission
Lists Rules for
Outpdtient Treatment

The Veterans Welfare COM
mission of Montana advises
veterans who have service-in-
Cured disabilities recognized
by the Veterans Administration
that they are entitled to out
patient treatment for the con-
ditions where such treatment is
Indicated, according to J. D.
Fellows, service officer for this
area.
When a veteran is DESTROYS
of such treatment, he may
have the doctor. of his choice
apply to the Veterans Admin
stration for authority to rem
der the treatment needed. The
Veterans Administration does
not have any particular doctor
in any locality designated as
the official medical representa-
tive of the Veterans Admin
Stration to whom all veterans
must go for outpatient treat
ment. The regulations permit
the veteran to choose his own
doctor.
disqualification outside a Vet
Grams Administration hospital
may be granted where it is def
initely indicated that such hos
pitalization must be rendered
Immediately, and that the
claimants condition is such
that to delay disqualification or
treatment in an attempt to get
him into a VA hospital would
jeopardize his health or life.
Such disqualification is con-
sidered emergent, and author
ization for disqualification will
extend only over the emer-
gency period. The representa-
tive of the veteran or the doc
tor should make request for
authority to hospitalize the vet
eran before disqualification, but
if this is not possible then such
authority should be requested
within 72 hours following hos
pitalization.
It must be remembered that

NORTHWAY, Alaska. Feb. 23-lR Maj. Gen. Robert Lee. head of the US. Air Force Tactical Command, says Exercise Sweetbriar has con- firmed that aircraft can be main- tained, supplied and operated in support of ground troops under sub Arctic conditions.
 Gen. Lee is one of numerous American and Canadian Generals on hand for today's climax of the 1l-day, joint Canadian American maneuver. He said that with the latest type of radar available it should be possible to get limited he called it late warning" tions of the approach of any enemy aircraft.
 In this rugged region the many mountains make arly-warning radar much less effective than in most areas.
 He was asked if the American F-86 jet fighter which Canada will be using in year or two would be obsolescent soon like the British Vampire the RCAF now uses.
 He said the F-86 should be "an operational plane" pretty much for it's lifetime of three to four years.

CLAIMS C0MMIES DISTRIBUTE FOOD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-lR-The House Un-American Activities Con- mittee today received testimony in- dicating Communists may be try ing to prolong the coal strike by bucking up the miners.
 Matthew Cvetic. former under cover agent for the FBI, said he had been told 50 youth leaders had been transported from New York for work in the coal fields"
 Cvetic said they distributed food "as bait" while passing around copies of the Daily Worker, a Communist newspaper. He said the informa- tion was given him nearly two weeks ago by a Bill Gordon, whom he identified as Communist organizer.
 But, Cvetic said, he knows of no actual Communist activity toward actual stoppage of coal production.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-lR-The Civil Aeronautics Board said today it had not yet received a Senate committee request for a hearing for group of independent air lines.
 There was no indication what the CAB. will do about the request when it receives it.
 The committee made the request yesterday for a hearing of at least an hour for the lines which are seeking authority to continue serv- ices between Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
 The committee also delayed action upon the reappointment of Josh Lee, former Democratic Senator from Oklahoma, as member of the CAB, which regulates commercial and civil air services, including subsidies and airmail payments.
 Chairman Edwin c. Johnson (D- Colo) said the Senate committee asked the hearing for Amos E Heacock, President of the Indepen- dent Air Carrier Conference ot America He claims to represent most of the "small businesses in air transportation"

NEW VIEWS
 EXPRESSED
 BY BRIDGES
Doesn't Believe World Is Threatened by "Rus-
 sian Imperialism"

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23-lRi- Harry Bridges testified today that he did not believe the world is threatened now "by so-called Rus sian imperialism"
 The longshore union leaders statement was made at his perjury trial, in response to government questions as to what he thought about President Truman's speech yesterday on the international sit uation.
 Special Prosecutor F. Joseph Don- ohue asked Bridges, who is on trial charged with perjury, if he agreed with the President.
 Bridges, indicted on charge he swore falsely in his l945 citizenship hearing that he was not a Con- munist, said he hadn't had time to read the speech. So Donohue handed a newspaper to him. Bridges scanned the column.
 Donohue quoted a paragraph from the speech: The great danger of Communism does not lie in US false promises. It lies in the fact that it is an instrument of an armed imperialism which seeks to extend it's influence by force"
 The prosecutor asked Bridges what he thought about that. Bridg- es replied that by "a general denun- citation of Communism" he wasn't sure what the President meant.
 But, personally, I don't believe the world is threatened now by so-called Russian imperialism

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-lR-The threat of a nationwide breakdown in telephone service, scheduled for tomorrow, has been lifted by union acceptance Of a Presidential appeal for 60-day bargaining truce.
 We will bargain every day, 24 hours day during that period ill seeking a peaceful settlement" said President Joseph A. Beirne of the CIO Communications Workers of America.
 President Truman asked that ser- vice remain uninterrupted while work goes on under present wage, hour and other conditions. Some Bell System companies accepted promptly; others were expected to to so.

 We have a sincere desire to resolve the issues through collective bargaining in an open, straightfor- ward manner" Beirnes said in a statement.

 Cole reported that Love and other operator spokesmen were very un- cooperative" and seemed more in- terested in carrying on personal feud with Lewis than settling the coal strike. However, two days later (on Friday Cole revised his report and told the President that the operators were trying to settle.
 What Cole didn't know when he made his second report was that the operators changed their tune when word of his initial blast leak ed to them through the White House grapevine.

CHAMBER ASKS FOR
 LENGTHENING OF
 AIRPORT RU N w AY

Telegrams have been sent by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce to Federal and Territorial aviation of ficials urging construction of a 2500-foot extension to the Juneau airport.
 They were dispatched after the noon meeting of the Chamber to- day at the Gold Room of the Bara- nof Hotel
 Addressed to George s. Schwamm. director of the Territorial Depart ment of Aviation, and w. A. Plett, regional administrator for the Civil Aeronautics Authority, the messages asked that an amendment to the Federal Aid for Airports program for the fiscal year beginning July, 1850, be made to provide the extension to the Juneau airport's runway.
 The messages stated that the DC-4 which ran off the end of the Juneau runway Sunday is the sec- ond aircraft accident in three years to be cause primarily by inadequate runway length
 Reduce Hazard
 Lengthening of the runway will markedly reduce the hazard to per- sons and property and prevent cur tailment of the growth of one of Alaska's largest trade areas" the Chamber stated in the wires.
 They pointed out that unless the runway is heightened, large air. craft will land only when conditions are excellent, and this will mean curtailment of service which will affect the northern half of South east Alaska.
 They also stated that they under stand Governor Ernest Gruening strongly advocates immediate action and will actively pursue it upon his return to Juneau"
 o. F. Benecke, member of the Chambers executive board and local airline official. told the group: T have personal knowledge that these Federal Aid to Airports programs can be amended and have been in the past"

WINNINGS LOGIC

NORTHWAY, Alaska, Feb 23-lA Ut. Gen. Nathan Twining, Alaskan military chief, says it will be at least two years before the build-up really starts on Alaska's currently "inade- ouate" defenses. He added the over all plan for guarding the area is integrated with Canada's planning for northern defense.
 It was learned from Canadian sources at this headquarters foi today's spectacular climax of Exer- else Sweetbriar that two senior off cers have been put in charge ot Canada's active planning for use ot the small mobile land-air forces she intends to have ready to cope with any enemy raids in the north. They are Brigadier George Kitching plans chief at Army headquarters and Air Commodore Martin Costello, head of the R.C.AF.'s No. II group with headquarters at Winnipeg
 Enemy Airfields
 The generally-accepted concept of attack on the Canadian north involves potential enemy airborne raids using up to 1000 men.
 The northern plan is part of a broader strategic plan that involves cooperation in arranging for joint action in all-round defense of North America. It calls for use of Ameri- can troops in Canada, of Canadians in the United States if the situation warrants.
 Gen. Twining, talking with re- porters covering the 11-day joint Canadian American maneuver. pie tured the possibility of airborne landings, bomber attacks on im- portant installations and widespread use of submarines against supply lines in any enemy attack on Alaska. He said these might come together or separately. He is head of the Alaska Defense Command.
 Feasible Attacks
 Gen. Twining said it was feasible that an enemy would make limited attacks" to seize places like White horse, VT, with its air base, rail- head and position astride. the Alaska Highway, either to use it himself or to deny it to defenders. But he con- sidered it likely that Alaska offered more easily accessible and inviting targets.
 He would not give details of his Alaskan defense force but it is be- lieved to include four fighter squad rons and one infantry battalion. Nor would he say what adequate" de- lenses would be but they were be- lieved to be plans for roughly a ground division and more airpoWer concentrating on defense of certain strategic targets.
