DELEGATES APPLAUD

Some .l those proposals have teen beIore the Congress for a long time. Those who oppose them as well as those who favor them should recognize that it is the duty of the elected representatives of the people to let these proposals come to vote"
 Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska) ap- plauded the message.

 The Presidents recommendation joined with the recent statement Of Secretary of Interior Chapman that he would make statehood top priority for the Department, should ,e of great assistance in putting it through this year"

 We have waited too long for a decision, one way or another, and we will exert every effort to obtain vote this year.
 T trust that the Democratic leadership of the House and Sem ate, who are pledged by the Demo- cratic platform of 1948 to immediate statehood for Hawaii, will concur in the Presidents position"
 The House passed Hawaiian statehood bill in 1947, but it died without Senate Action at the end oi the 80th Congress. Last year, the House Public Lands Committee ap- proved bills for both Alaska and Hawaii statehood, but they have failed thus far to obtain Rules Con- mittee clearance for action on the House floor.

ALASKA INVENTORY

It will be the second annual waterfowl inventory in Alaska, ac- cording to w. A. (Bud) Elkins, FWS game management supervisor in Juneau.
 Estimates based on actual counts during the 1949 inventory set the winter migratory waterfowl popula- ton for Alaska at more than 300,000 All were found winterlng from Bristol Bay south.
 Emperor geese, which nest north of Nome, migrate only as far as the Alaska Peninsula. Mallards were found in considerable mum bers in Southeast Alaska.
 Most of the 1850 inventory will be taken from the air here, Elklns said. But some of the II FWS otti- cials who will be tallying ducks during the inventory will count from FWS vessels.

(Copyright, 1850, by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON = Hottest prob lem facing Congressional leaders as they got back to Washington was how to prevent another Parnell Thomas kickback scandal.
 This will be major topic at a secret meeting of the House Repub- lican steering committee early next week. House COP leader Joe Mar tin will tell his lieutenants that House Republicans must immed- lately rid their payrolls of any non- working employees who draw salar ies from the taxpayers.
 Also, he will do some blunt talk ing about members who bring dis grace upon themselves and their party by accepting kickbacks. Mar tin himself has set an excellent example in keeping his payroll honest. Since coming to Congress he has never had a relative or a nonworking employee in his off, flee, and last year he refused to hire an extra $3,000-a-year clerk authorized by Congress, on the ground that the extra clerk wasn't needed.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn and Ma jority Leader John Mccormack also will privately warn House De- mocrats who have been chiseling on the taxpayers to clean up their payrolls pronto.

a reign of terror worse than any thing ever seen in Germany. Ache son said he thought it would Dc most unwise for the United States to dispatch men into a chaotic situation where a Trojan-horse re- volt at any time could end the last drop of Chinese resistance.
 Acheson also opposed sending military staff support to China and condemned the idea of an American military man to run China's defenses. He pointed out that Roosevelt had tried to do ths, that Ambassador Hurley had re- commended it, and that Genera Stilwell had attempted it. But il had failed even when the Chinese Natonalists still had the mainland He asked, therefore, how it was possible to defend China now whei there was very little left to defend.
 Acheson informed the Security Council that Britain would recog- nize China in about week, and that Britain also would support Red China for a seat on the Se- curity Council of the United Ma tions. Once the Chinese secured JUN. recognition, Acheson warned, they will have every right to bring the United States before the Coun- Gil on charges of aggression-if we occupy Formosa.
 It's question of just how i'm portant the island of Formosa is to us, Acheson said, in effect, and whether it is important enough to send an army for it's defense. He added: T don't think so."
 Were Ha Ndii in jeopardy. the situation would be differe'.5. he said.
 s Acheson also pointed ollt that the Chinese Communists L.ay decide not to attack the island after they get the rest of China consolidated. particularly if they are aware that they will face stubborn resistance, reinforced by military advice and some supplies from the United States.
 TRUMAN WON OVER
 
 In the end, the Secretary ot State completely won over both President Truman and the military.
 AS compromise, it was agreed that we will ship Chiang Kai-shek rifles, ammunition, artillery, how itzers and other equipment to fight off an invasion of Formosa out ot the $75,000,0OO Congress voted in it's last session. Also we will send about 20 U s. military advisers to survey the situation. Truman is also considering recalling General MacArthur for first hand dis cussion of Japan.
 One other important decision made ty the council was to rush American military help to the French in Indo-China to help fight the Communists. Twenty million dollars worth of military supplies will start moving to Indo-Ch-na within six weeks. This is the price to try to keep France from sup porting Red China's bid for the all important seat on the JUN. Security Council, which carries with it the power of veto.

NOME, Alaska, Jan A. R - Nome's Chamber of Commerce has appealed to President Truman and Congress to prevent closing of Marks Air Force Base here--a move the Nome Nugget said was rumored.
 The Chambers plea coincided with visit here by Alaska's Gov ernor Ernest Gruening, who con- ferred with civic groups on the rumored action.
 The Nugget said all villages north of Nome were "gravely concerned over such proposal, as this is the only base in all of northwest ern Alaska which guards the Sib- erian coast. and it is the only coastal airport in the Territory north of the Aleutians on which foreign planes could land if it is left unprotected"

 The Rocky Mountain region still reeled from the impact of the sea- sons most severe weather. The Gen. tral States and South into the Texas Panhandle braced for the frigid attack.
 Blizzards howled across the Dakota prairies and into neighbor- ing Minnesota. Highways and country roads were blocked. Air liners were grounded. Hundreds ot rail and tus passengers and mot orists were stranded in parts of the storm belt.
 Snow blows in sections of Minne- sota quit work because of poor visibility.
 Snow fell on Texas and the mer- cury slid down under the zero mark in the Lone Star state. And the mercury tumbled sharply over the mid-continent as the cold front out of the Rocky Mountain region moved across the Great Plains.
 Coldest spots early today included 31 below at Minot, N.D., 80 at Moorcroft, Wyo.; -27 at Philip, SD; and -22 at Pembina, ND.

PARIS. Oct. 10.-What is the
best bet on peace or war? viii
Stain touch the button for world
conflict before the West is ready?
Among the statesmen of Europe
and the ENJOYS from America
there is sharply contrasting diff
ference of opinion.
Talking off-the-record. all agree
that an order from the Kremlin
today would mean quick engulf-
ment of the territory between the
Elbe and the Atlantic. All agree
that 273 million people and the
vast productive power of the con-
tinent are waiting to be plucked
and that Americas atomic bomb
could not stop an occupation.
Many cannot believe Stain will
do it. Unless he could destroy
the United States strategic air
force on the ground, he would be
inviting atomic devastion of his
own war-making potential. II
both sides were bombed, where
would Stain go from there?
Red Gains Cited.
Optimists say Communism has
been doing quite we'll without
war. Since 1945. it has lost ground
in Western Europe but gained in
Eastern Europe and Asia more
in territory and population than
any nation ever conquered by any
shooting war.
The Kremlin is running a long
pull revolution, sure it is riding
the wave of the future" they say
and that the gang running Rus
sia will not risk a war that would
unleash political forces in their
satellites and at home which
might overthrow their machine.
1t is true, these statesmen as
sert, that Stain believes war is
inevitable because he thinks that
the nature of capitalism will pro-
duce war, that capitalism will
make war to save ITSELF and
that his role is to protect the de-
velopment of the course of history"
without risking his regime.
In short, the Vests optimists
believe the Russian program is
to probe soft spots, moving for
ward by civil wars and political
conquests wherever they are not
resisted. And, therefore, Commu-
nism can be contained" by firm
ness, the "Kennan line" followed
by our State Department.

The Marshall Plan has spurred
an amazing recovery in Europe
and widespread reforms are in
progress. Now such programs as
Point 4 are providing hope and
guidance in underdeveloped areas
where conditions fertilize the
ground for revolutionary doctrine.
And had not these basics of
economic, social and political life
been recognized by Western lead
ers, they claim, communism would
have swept both Europe and Asia
almost by default. The mere de-
mand for change would have iso-
lated America as the final target.
See Danger as Acute.

up the world revolution idea, he
