WASHINGTON-It isn't gener-
ally known, but Admiral Roscoe
Hillenkoetter, chief of the super
duper spy agency, central lntelll-
gence, had asked for sea duty well
before the Korean outbreak.
The admiral has done a better
job of foreign intelligence than
Congress gives him credit for, but
he has never been particularly
happy in the job and would ike
to get back to q battleship. Hillen-
koetter was former commander OF
the battleship Missouri, comes from
the state of Missouri, and was
picked by Truman personally Tor
the difficult intelligence assignment.
Faced with the admiral's insist
ence that he wants to be trans
ferred President Truman has asked
General Bedell Smith, former us.
Ambassador to Moscow, to take
over central intelligence. Smith,
so far, has refused, on the ground
that he recently underwent an
ulcer operation.
Gen. Smith knows the Russians,
and would be better than most
military men for this assignment.
However, Congress, in creating CEN
trail intelligence, did not intend that
it be run by the military. Past
experience has shown that civilians
are better qualified to direct de-
tective-espionage agencies.
Therefore, some Of the Presidents
friends are urging that he appoint
j. Edgar Hoover to this important
post II itA \ F38
Hoover is one of the best organ
izers in government, has built up

ton bureaus the world has ever

NO CONTROLS
YET,
Says TRUMAN
A-Bomb Not Contemplated
-SoIons Seek Curb on
Powers Asked

WASHINGTON, July q - tB -
President Truman said today ne
sees no necessity now for wage,
price and manpower controls.
He told news conference that
if they come they will come to-
gether as part of about mobil-
ization.
He hopes we will not have to
to have about mobilization, ne
added.
Mr. Truman's comments came IN
response to questions about the
proposal from Bernard M Baruch
for an immediate ceiling on
everything"
He gave his views to Congress
yesterday. They appeared divided
on his proposal with most mem
bers apparently against any about
mobilization right now. There were
others, however, who called for
full-scale economic mobilization
with consumer rationing and wage
price controls.
President Truman also told his
news conference:
l. He is not now considering use
of the atomic bomb in the Korean
war.
2. Steps are in the making to
IDEAL with any traitors or saboteurs
in the present emergency. Those
steps will not infringe on the bill
of rights, he added.
i 3. The State and Defense Ee-
n. -tments aye working on propos-
ais for increased military aid to
European allies. He said these
proposals will be presented to Con-
gress before it adjourns.
4. He did not want to make any
comment now on peace prospects;
that it would be better to wait for
a few more developments. A re-
porter had recalled that only a
couple of months ago the President
had said the outlook for peace was
better than it had been at any
time since 1945. The newsmen
asked if the President still felt
that way.
Control Rumor "News"
On the question OF wage and
price controls, sMr. Truman sale
he thought his economic message
to Congress had covered that. He
said then he would not hesitate
to ask for them if he thought
they were needed.
A reporter said there were ru-
mors around Washington that price
and rationing steps were already
in the making and were to be set
in force by Labor Day.
The President said that was news
to him.
Another reporter wanted to know
whether, if prices are rolled back,
they would be rolled back to the
June Is level as Baruch proposed.
Mr.. Truman said he would cross
! that bridge when he came to it
But such step, he went on, is
not being considered now.
At the Capitol, Attorney Gen.
eral McGrath made a plea, mean
time, for quick passage of the con-
trolls asked by President Truman.
McGrath was before the Senate
banking committee, the same grccr
that heard Baruch.
The Attorney General told the
senators he believes the powers the
President seeks are broad enough
and flexible enough to handle the
situation unless there are more
serious developments.
Not Fast Enough

and Congressional adviser, criti-

More probably than any other
one man, Capt. Lathrop deserves
to be called the Builder of Alaska
for he had pioneered in almost
every field of economic and social
activity and has provided the Terri
tory with a great proportion Of It's
modern industrial structures.
His career of over so years IN
Alaska was one of constant and
varied successes, it brought him to
eminence as a director OF trans
portation companies as builder and
manager of real estate properties,
mine operator, radio executive,
legislator, university regent and
banker.
Capt. Lathrop was born in La
peer, Mich, October 5, 1865, the
son of Eugene and Maria Parson
Lathrop. When he was l6 the
family moved to Ashland, Wiscon-
sin. Following his education in the
oCllOOlo llS bSbVA4 -
business there before he was 81.
While engaged in that business,
Capt. Lathrop read OF the disas-
trous fire in Seattle on June 8,
1889. Recognizing the opportunity
offered by the rebuilding OF the
Puget Sound city, he left Ashland
within "a hours and was on his
way to the west coast before the
ruins of the Seattle he was to help
rebuild had ceased smoking.
"BOy Contractor"
BY 1890, he had earned the name
of boy Contractor Seattle was
largely rebuilt and he moved his
headquarters to Anacortes. There
he cleared the townsite, graded
streets and built an electric road.
His next move, after the panic OF
1893 in which he suffered severe
losses, was to Protection Island
near Port Townsend where he de-
selored one of the regions show
places and engaged in chicken
ranching.
Comes to Alaska
Capt. Lathrop's first active in
terest in Alaska was aroused by
news of the gold strike at Cooks
inlet. SEEING the opportunity the
gold rush opened in the transport
ation business, he purchased a half
interest in the steam schooner
! Il. j. Perry" and for some years
operated the vessel in Alaskan
waters. 1t was this connection with
the sea which won him the title OF
captain" and he was afterward
known affectionately as Cap
or Capt" as it became in the
interoffice correspondence of his
organization.
Prospects for Oil
In 1901 he took the first drilling
rig into the Territory and used it
to prospect for oil in the Cold
Bay district Shortly afterward he
moved to Valdez and with the help
of San Francisco capital, organ
lied the California Alaska Mining
and Development Company to pros
pect for copper and though copper
was found, it could not be profit
ably mined because OF lack OF
transportation facilities.
In 1907 he expanded his interests
to several cities and many enter
prises He started transfer bus
mess in Cordova, entered the
theatre business. In 1917 he bun
large apartment house there
He had extended his interests &c
Anchorage and there repeated in
vestments in the transfer business
theatre and apartment operations
Fairbanks was brought into the
realm of Capt. Lathrop's activities
In that year he purchased thea
tire there and acquired an interest
in the Healy River Coal Corpora
ion which operated the mine where
