Defense Secretary Johnson Wants 10 Keep U. 5.
 in State of Alert"

! WASHINGTON, June 1--tR-Sec-
 retaryo of Defense Johnson ap.
 pealed today for a three-year ex.
 tension of the draft act to keel
 the United States lin state o alert against possible attack. Johnson told the Senate Armed Services committee numerous ''in. cidents" in the cold war-includins | the Russian atomic explosion
 make it necessary for this country's armed forces to be in a state oi readiness.
 The House on May 24 passed 8 bill which continues for two years beyond June 24 the requirement that 18-year-olds register for the draft. Actual inductions, however would have to be ordered by sep arate Congressional action. The House accordingly changed the name of it's bill to the Man power Registration Act" There
 have been no inductions since Jan uary. 1949.
 While Johnson made no direct
 reference to the House bill in his prepared testimony, he said l1e
 would prefer to have no limitations Imposed on the Selective Service Act as it stands.
 That would leave him power tc
 draft men into the armed services If voluntary enlistments fail te keep the ranks filled. Tt would be the height of folly the cabinet officer testified, ito turn
 our back on this simple but effect i've means of remaining in a posi- i tion of readiness"
 Johnson said passage of the Sel- jective Service Act in 1948 had "sig- nificant repercussions" abroad. He won partial support from Sen. ator Knowland tR-Calif), who sa.e he is changing his views because of what he called the possibility 0, an atomic attack on the Unitec States.
 Knowland told Johnson he orig inally had favored the House yer sion but now thinks some other ar- rangement is necessary. If the city of Washington were contaminated by atomic attack, tht capitol couldn't be moved without Congressional approval" Knowlanc said
 He added that if an atomic -ex- plosion wiped out most of Con- gress. the Senate could be replaced
 by appointments made by Cover
 nors. But he said it might take 6( days or more to hold special elec- tions to obtain enough new House
 members to transact business.

TRUMAN ASKS
 SECOND DARM5 AID PROGRAM.
Must Keep Momentum Gained : Second Re-
 quest Less than Frist

WASHINGTON, June l - R - President Truman today asked Con- gress to provide S1 ,222 500,0OO for a second year of the arms aid pro- gram.
 He said delay in supplying the money might strike a fatal blow at all our efforts to create the kind of peace which the free world seeks and would lessen our chances ot continuing to live and work in free dom."
 The fund would finance arms shipments to more than dozen foreign nations, including Atlantic Pact allies, during the fiscal year beginning next July l.
 The $1,222, ,5Oo,OOO requested by MT. Truman is slightly less than the $1,314,0l0,000 which Congress appropriated last year to help 13 nations rearm against Communism MT. Truman made the request in his first semi-annual report to Congress on the handling of the first year program, which began last fall.
 Backing up his request. MT. Tru- man said:
 "The momentum already gained must under no circumstances be lost, because, once lost, it is doubt full that it can ever be recaptured at any cost"
 The President gave this break down as to how the new money would be spent:
 North Atlantic Treaty nations S1 ,0O0 100000.
 Greece and Turkey-$120 ,0O0. .000
 Iran, the Philippines and Korea $27 .500, ,0OO.
 General area of China-S75 ,000,- 900.

"CA5H ONLY" NOT AN5WER;C0NTRACT
 AUTHORITY NEEDED
Argetsinger Tells Chamber House Recommendation
 Not Realistic"

Contract authority as well as cash is needed for most efficient handling of the projects under the Public Works Bill for Alaska, ac- icording to John D. Argetsinger, dis trict engineer supervising the prof. ects.
 He told the Chamber of Con- merce at its meeting today that it will be impossible to take advant- age of the construction market fl only cash is appropriated. The House of Representative Ap- propriations Committee has recom- mended $9 million cash grant for projects under the bill, and no con- tract authority.
 He said an appropriation not including contract authority lis not realistic" considering Alaska's wea- ther.
 Pointing out that the Federal fiscal year begins July l, he said that contracts for construction would have to be let after July l, when the construction season was half over.
 The money needed to construct Ia municipal building, school, and a Territorial building here would alone take more than one-quarter of the recommended cash appro- priation, he stated.
 The recommendation will go to the Senate appropriations commit tee soon, he said.
 President Robert Boochever said the Chamber of Commerce will telegraph Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett to find out if there is anything the organization can do to aid in securing contract author 'ity as well as cash appropriation for Alaska Public Works Bill prof. ects.
 Dr. P. Gordon Gould, director of Methodist work in Alaska, reported to the Chamber on the progress made in establishing a Methodist college in the Territory.
 He said other denominations have indicated their interest in aiding in establishing the college, and these must be investigated be- fore any final decision is made on the site.
 A Methodist committee will visit all the cities in the Territory which have offered sites, before deciding where the college will be.

Seniority Settled, But0fher Unions Don't Like +
 Loading Halls

SEATTLE, June some progress" has been reported. but no immediate settlement is in sight in the Alaska Salmon Cannery con- troversy, Federal Conciliator Will liam c. Hosie said today.
 Hosie met with officials of the Alaska Salmon Industry. Inc. and Local 7-C of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union (CIO) late yesterday.
 He said agreement was reached on establishing Seniority for hiring cannery workers who were em- ployed last year Both sides agreed on a central partisan hirins procedure with appointment Of an impartial labor arbiter to rule on questionable seniority cases.
 They agreed on appointing I. A. Sandvigen, business agent for the Independent Machinists Union, sub- ject to his acceptance. Hosie set the next meeting for Friday noon.
 The dispute is over granting to Local TT of the Clearinghouse Work CTS Union (CIO) the contract for this years cannery work. Local 7-C, ejected from the CIO with it's par ent Food and Tobacco Workers Union, was signed up by Harry Bridges Longshoremen, and now seeks bargaining rights 1t had held for Is years.
 Meanwhile, members of the CIO Longshoremen's Union refused to load cargo for the Salmon Industry aboard the Alaska Steamship Com pany's Square Knot.
 3 Gangs Quit The shipping firm reported three gangs of longshoremen walked off the ship at 7.3o pm, half hour after their shift started. They had been instructed to load cannery cargo on the ship.
 '"rhey went aboard the ship. all right, and took off two hatch covers,' said D. F. Skinner, Alaska Steamships general manager. They then saw two bull drivers Gift truck operators) walk off the dock. So they walked off, too. There should be no question in anyone's mind now that the Alaska Steamship Company cannot load cannery cargo for Alaska.
 Bill Gettings. regional longsnore- mems union chief, said:
 The union will not violate any laws. But the union has no way to force it's individual members to work if they choose not to. As long as they are members of free Demo- cratic union, they have the right to work or not to work, as their own consciences might dictate"
 The Square Knot began loading Monday. Previously, the longshore- mems explanation for failure to load the cannery cargo was that the Memorial Day holiday prevented the recruiting of crews of suffi- cient size, Skinner said.
 Skinner said the ship will sail to- morrow He added that there IS no point in anyone sending more cam nery cargo to the pier to pile up and clog other Alaska cargoes.
 Others Don't Like It
 In connection with the industry Local 7-C negotiations. it appeared doubtful that other unions involved in representation of nonresident Alaska cannery workers would agree to central hiring hall setup under Sandvigen
 The other two unions are Local IT of the United Westinghouse Workers, which has the National CIO blessing in the bargaining agent scramble. and the AFL's Alaska Fish Cannery Workers

(By Associated Press)

The arch-critic of Pentagon pol icies, Navy Captain John Crom- melin, is free to speak his mind.
 Crommelin's retirement into pri- vate life took effect today, follow ing the signing ln Pensacola, Flor ida, of papers terminating his naval career.
 Since April 1, Crommelin has been in the Navys doghouse-on turlough at half pay as a result of his insistent criticism of na- tional defense policies. But today the champion of naval air power IS free to sound off-perhaps as politician. Crommelin announced recently that he will oppose Dem- ocratic Senator Lister Hill of Ala bama as an Independent in the November Congressional elections.
