syovernor Grueninq Assures Seward Of Airport This Year

In a telephone conversation on Wednesday with Mayor La nier, Governor Gruening assured Seward that all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seward Airport improvement will be effected this summer.
 Preparations had been made by the Seward Chamber of Commerce to receive the Cover nor and his party at a luncheon on Wednesday, but the 50-mile wind prevented air traffic that day, and railroad officials in Anchorage hesitated to send the Governor by gas-train as prom ised, because of possible drifts in the passes.
 In lieu of his visit, Governor Gruening talked for 25 minutes over the phone. He inquired into the organization of the local Youth Conference Committee, and approved the move to pro- vide the children of Seward with a swimming pool and play ground. Saying that it seems entirely possible through Public Works assistance, and that such a project would have his whole hearted approval and support. He had visited Kodiak earlier. That city is planning the recre- ation project and, If they can do it, you can," said the Gov ernOr.
 He is to leave almost imme- diately for Washington to attend the Alaska statehood hearings, and after his return he may be able to visit Seward. In any case, when the ribbon is cut on the SeWard-Anchorage high way, some time late i'll 1850, he will be the first to ride into Seward. ....-

SEA HAWKS ARE WESTERN CHAMPIONS

The Seward High School Sea Hawks basketball team Thurs day night became Western Alas ka basketball champions when they won the final game with Fairbanks by one-point mar gin, 36-35.
 Coach Bill Knapp, in a tele- phone conversation last night from Anchorage, said the boys had made a wonderful showing all through the six game series which just ended, and will bring home record of four wins and two losses for the series, when they return on tonight's train, along with the Seward High School Pep Squad, which attended the last four games at Anchorage.

James Roosevelt Says
Marine Call WouIdn I
Halt His Campaign
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-James
Roosevelt, eldest son of the late
President, says call to the colors
would not stop his Democratic
campaign for Governor of Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Roosevelt arrived here by
air last night and said he will go
to Washington tomorrow to clar1-
fy his status as a colonel in the
Marine Corps volunteer reserve.
He saw active duty before ana
during the last war.
Il will not ask for any defer
ment whatsoever in Washington. .
he said. IT am only going to tlnd
out what the picture is. 1 just
want information
II would, of course, continue IN
the political campaign If I am
called into active service. How
ever, I would not be able to cam
paign actively as Marine otflcer,
but my friends would carry on
for me-"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he nao re-
ceived no word that he would be
called, aside from the general
notice sent to the 80.000-man VOL
unteer reserve to be ready for an
alert.
While in Washington, he will
also talk over civilian defense
matters with Government officials.
He said that if he should be
elected while on active service he
probably would be released from
duty, following the precedent set
| by former Representative Will
Rogers, jr., who was elected while
in service.
In any case, he added. there is
no way to get off the ballot once
you are on"
While in New York today he

President Truman today ap-
pealed for the employment of the
physically handicapped in the
defense effort.
Mr.. Truman spoke at the open
ing session of the Presidents
Committee on National Employ
the Physically Handicapped Week
at the Departmental Auditorium.
The committee was formed to
spur the employment of disabled
persons in industry and concur
rently with the opening session
Mr.. Truman designated the week
of october / as a special period in
which to emphasize the need for
finding jobs for this class.
"At a time like this" the PreSi-
dent said, sit is essential that our
country use all its productive
resources. Our national strength
is the chief reliance of the free
world in it's effort to overcome
the forces of tyranny and aggreS-
sion.
For that reason, we need the
contribution that every citizen is
capable of making. This COM
mittee knows that those who have
physical handicapS can work as
effectively as those who have no
handicaps. provided they have jobs
fitted to their capabilities. They
are needed today in the great
productive efforts of our Nation"
At the same time, the President
denounced totalitarian rulers who
think of human lives only in
terms of power"
Without naming directly the
object of his attack, the President
declared that this Nation is con
fronted by forces which have little
or no regard for the value of hu-
man life. He added: for them
the individual is of no conse-
quence. They think of the people
only as an instrument for achiev-
ing their own lawleSS ambitions"
The President called for a dual
approach to this problem.
First" he said, I'VE must do
everything we can to prevent dis
abling accidents and diseases
Through accident prevention and
through preventive medicine we
can do great deal to reduce the
number of persons who become
disabled each year.
Second, we must improve our
skillS and increase our efforts for
rehabilitating those who are dis
abled. This requires us to i'm
prove our programs for better
medical care, for providing edu-
cation and training, individual
counseling and specialized job
placement.
Through these activities we
can conserve the human resources

of trigger" controls out of the
House bill, that issue is likely to
be revived in the Senate. Senator
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkansas,
said he will offer a similar auto
matte formula in the Senate, but
with the level at which the Pres
ldent must act placed at 6 in
stead of per cent above June Is
These plans do not mean freez-
ing prices at or per cent above
June Is, nor rolling them back to
June Is. They merely require
the President to take some action
when that level is reached.
Both Provide Powers Asked.
The House and Senate bills
both gave President Truman the
powers he originally asked for to
allocate scarce materials. to
requisition property at fair COM
pensation, to regulate all forms
of credit and to make loans to
defense industries.
There may be floor fights over
the credit curbs. The Senate
bill, which the House Committee
took as a pattern, included con-
trolls over real estate financing
but not on commodity market
transactions. Some House men,
bers don't want curbs applied to
real estate financing or commod-
ity markets.
The administration did not ask
originally for any power to control
retail prices, wages or to ration
at the consumer level. The de-
mand for including these over
all powers was touched off by
Bernard M. Baruch and caught
hold in Congress. The President
then informed his leaders he
would not object to being given
these powers on a discretionary
basis, with no rigid formulas for
applying them.
