War On Wolves
 Shows Progress

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov ernment is waging a war on Alas kan wolves to protect Santa Claus favorite steed and a vital food source for natives-the reindeer.
 It's the first organized attack, a government expert said today, on wolves and coyotes which have helped reduce Alaska's once-rich herds of reindeer and caribou to the danger point in some areas.
 Government agents spot wolf and coyote trails from reconnais- Sance airplanes. and then go in on foot to place poison-gilled ''baits' designed to kill the wild raiders without harming valuable fur bearing animals.
 This was reported by Dr Dorr G. Green of the fish and wildlife service at a meeting of American and Canadian scientists gathered to consider research needs in stra- tegic Alaska.
 Green reported the two-year- old program-devoted largely up to now to preliminary surveys and limited operations-is already showing good results in reducing reindeer and caribou losses.

JUNEAU AIRPORT
 10 BE EXTENDED
 IN 1851: SCHWAMM

Extension of the Juneau airport runway will be the No. 1 project on the 1851 program of the aero- nautics division of the Alaska Aero nautics and Communications Com mission, it was announced today by George s. CTony) Schwamm, com mission director
 Schwamm, with offices in An chorage, made the announcement through Secretary of Alaska Lew M. Williams.
 The work will be accomplished through a coordinated plan with the Civil Aeronautics Authority, he said. Details on how the work was to be done were not available, but Schwamm said the work would definitely go ahead"
 No money was available to do anything this year, he said. The present 5,000-foot runway is termed too small for the landing of DC-4's, and a 2,500-foot extension has been asked by Pan American World Air ways and others using the field.
 Schwamm was to open bids today on the commissions airfield build ing program this year, in which the CAA furnishes two-thirds of ncces- sary funds, and the commission one third. The fields are at Skag- way, Kotzebue, Fort Yukon, Palmer, Dillingham;, Seldovia, Ninilchik and Seward.
 Other projects on the 1851 pro- gram are for airfields at Point Bar TOW, White Mountain, Eagle, Ruby and Bethel. Tentative plans have bee set up for Boundary, Kaltag and Ophir.

of dropping the bomb now, when we are way ahead in A-bomb pro- duction.
 2. Int other is the difficult, back breaking job of working at peace for a period of 25 to 50 years, with sacrifices beyond those which we have ever contemplated before.
 To some people, the first alternate horrible as it is, might seem the easier. In fact, war frequently seems the most convenient way out of an international impasse, which is one reason dictators declare war. Furthermore, the United States, despite the leak of atomic secrets to Russia, is far ahead in the pro- duction of atomic bombs, and will continue that lead for at least year, probably longer.
 But if we wait much beyond that, the military odds against us in- crease. Not only could Russia catch up to our atomic stockpile, not only can she get away to an even start with us in making the hy- drogen bombs, but her ground troops are now far superior, her air force is now about equal, her tanks are better, and her sub marine fleet is growing.

CAPT. BROWN SPEAKS FRANKLY

The inquiry into the Jan. IT grounding Of the bat tleship Missouri is largely a seaman's show Ques- tions and for the most part in nautical terms with which the average landlubber is only vaguely familiar But one need have been near deep water to get the point of what Capt w D. Brown had to say.
 Brown told the court he had not commanded a ship from the time he detached as skipper of a destroyer in 1943 until he assigned to command the Mighty Mo last December He had been on one trial run prior to the unfortunate mishap. Of his brief experience with the big batteship he said:
 I felt extremely rusty felt unfamiliar
 with handling the ship She had four shafts
 She had twin rudders and I was not entirely
 familiar with how she turned I realized her tremendous inertia.
 It was as if a truck driver, put on the carpet for running off highway had offered this expana- tion:
 It was the first time I had ever driven anything bigger than 1943 light coupe l couldn't get the hang of sitting so high above the road. The drag of the 10-ton trailer

Atomic Reconstruction


 Nevertheless, de5pite these de- pressing odds, l still believe we should adopt the second alternative. I say this not because I shrink from plunging the world into at omic war-though I confess that r doebut for more practical req sons.
 First it would take years to re- cover from the chaos left by an atomic war. Even if the destruction were confined to Russian soil, that area would have to be pollced afterward. It could not be left a stark and naked wilderness. Fur thermore, the American people have habit of going into areas we have defeated and spending bil- lions in reconstruction. And we would probably do this also after war in Russia.
 More important, however, the bit terness of the Russian people would be such that another war would be inevitable. They would begin counting the day, one hour after the first atomic explosion, when they could build up their strength to strike back.
 If our goal is warless world, this is not the way to win it. Nor would the bitterness of the rest of the world be much less. The United States has enjoyed great moral leadership because of the 1 fact that not since the Mexican War in 1948 have we been an ag- gressor nation. Sometimes our fail ure to take the initiative has been | costly. as at Pearl Harbor, but from the point of view of world leader ship, it has been the wisest policy we ever followed.
 Finally, and aside from the op- inion of the rest of the world we have to live with ourselves We cannot lose our own self-respect
 Therefore, despite the great mil itary advantages to be gained, the vast majority of the American peo- ple, I feel sure, would vote against taking the initiative in dropping the bomb at this time
 There may come a time wher dropping the bomb will be necessary as will be set forth in a later col umn. But not now.
 What then are the weapons by
 which we can attain mans mos

Alaskan Skyway
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The aerial route the top of the world looks deceptively convenient for attack counterattack Yet the experience of recent weeks has shown the wilds of the Canadian Northwest be the graveyard of many an aircraft. As a matter of fact number of planes went down the Great Falls, Mont Alaska route during wartime.
 Any plane failure which ordinarily would result in a emergency landing along the well-deveoped aerial highways the United States is almost certain result in disaster in the rugged terrain or chill waters of the Alaskan route Crash landings naturally hazardous and parachute escapes are difficult, considering the rugged country.
 Even searchers for crashed planes often are at tended by their perils. Seemingly, more often than not, plane is lost in trying to locate down craft amid the trackess wastes of that bleak country. Some day facilities will be improved and safety standards elevated But of now, those easy looking plane the top of the world aren't quite as easy as they look.

Time Running Out

With the Russian population in- creasing much faster than ours, and with a greater proportion of her budget spent on armament, time running rapidly against us.
 As of today, however the atomic warfare odds are so preponderantly in our favor that we could take the initiative in war with every expectation of winning.
 Those are the cold, calculated facts on the side of alternative No. l.
 Alternative No. ? is a 25-to50- year war of nerves, of sacrifice and of diplomatic jujitsu.
 This is a much tougher battle than appears on the surface. For one thing, the Soviet Government is unalterably pledged to sabotag- ing the free world, and any confer ences which we or Winston Church ill may have with Joe Stalin aren't going to change that fact. Unfor- tunately, President Truman's state ments that Stalin is pretty good fellow personally and that Chief Justice Vinson might be able tc straighten him out overlook the fact that Russian policy is rigid It does not change easily Nor . it set by one man.
 The Politburo sets policy and il has been fixed in one groove fol years-a groove which looks to the day when the free world will fall of its own weight, plus persistent cunning digging around the roots of the tree of freedom by the Soviet world
 The idea that the Communist and Democratic system can live to- gether side by side, as suggested by Winston Churchill, is pure pop pycock. They can't live side by side for the simple reason that the Politburo isn't going to per init it.
 Those are some of the arguments against Alternative No. 2 and its

Naturalization
Washington Post)

Washington Post
 It is misfortune that Senator Russell saw fit last week to object to Senate action joint resolution unanimously adopted by the House and unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee to re- move racial restrictions from the privilege of becoming naturalized citizen of the United States. This reso- luon which would not in any way affect imrnigra- tion is designed simply permit naturalization of about 9000O resident aliens of Japanees and Korean descent
 Since the Immigration Act of 1924 prohibits entry of Asiatics for permanent residence after July of that year these persons must have been resident in the United States for at least 25 years, with the oaority having been here 35 years or more.
 They have had record of loyalty and devotion to their adopted country. Ninety per cent of them had sons in the armed services during the war The restriction on their naturalization is an injustice to them and an ugly expression of racism.
 Surely Mir Russell's lone objection to an act of s1lcb simple equity must rest upon misapprehension We hope that his objection will be withdrawn so that the measure can pass the Senate by unanimous consent
