Nationwide Crime Probe
 On: Truman

WASHINGTON, April 13-R- President Truman said today the crime problem is nation wide and not restricted to Kansas City.
 He said it extends also to places ike St. Louis and even to Wash ington.
 7 MT. Truman said that he him. self had ordered a Grand Jury investigation of the crime situation in Kansas City and proposed one in St. Louis.
 The jury probe in Kansas City has been under way for some time.
 He said other Grand Juries were operating elsewhere as part of an inquiry that is nationwide in scope.
 The Senate also is considering an investigation of crime and gambling but a controversy has arisen over how it will be handled.
 The crime discussion came up at the Presidents news conference as a result of questions built around the murder of Charles Binaggio, Kansas City political figure, and a lieutenant last Thursday
 A reporter noted that the two murdered men had been witnesses before the Grand Jury in Kansas City that was probing rackets. He said Attorney General McGrath apparently has not found legal authority for bringing the FBI into the case although Governor Smith of Missouri has asked all possible assistance.
 MT. Truman was asked whether he considers this a Federal matter and whether he will ask McGrath to send the FBI into the Kansas City inquiry.

YELLOW CAB GO. BUS TO BRING WINFIELD
 CHILDREN TO MOVIE

When the children of the Winfield Home go to the movies this weekend they will be brought to town in the Yellow Cab Company's bus, com- pany officials said today.
 The theatre party for the young sters grew out of a Coast Guards mans wish that he could take six orphans to a show. He was over heard, and in a matter of minutes an Easter party-with movie-was arranged.
 But when the people organizing the party arrived at Winfield Home Sunday, armed with baskets of Easter eggs for each of the child ren, they were informed that the children couldn't be bathed and dressed in the time available. So the movie was postponed until this weekend.
 The Capitol Theatre will give free admission to the 50 children at Winfield Home.

Truman Let's Go Again al
 Sen. Mt(arthy
Doubts Possibility of Libel ing So|on as Charg-
 ed by Taft

WASHINGTON. April l3-R-In new blast at Senator Mccarthy President Truman today questioned whether it is possible to libel the Wisconsin Republican.
 MT. Truman's remarks came at a news conference when lie was asked about recent statement by Sena- tor Taft R-Ohio).
 Taft had said the President libeled Mccarthy by cracking at Key West, Fla, recently that Mccarthy was the Kremlin's biggest asset in the United States.
 Do you think that's possib!e?' MT. Truman fired back at his ques- tioner.
 And he said it was all right to use direct quotations.
 MT. Truman went on to say he hadn't read all that Taft had said that he doesn't read all the political columns of all the people running for reelection.
 Taft made his statement about Mir. Truman. Mccarthy and libel ir a column he distributes to Ohio newspapers.
 Presidential Bee
 Taft is up for reelection this year, MT. Truman noted. He added that he thinks the Ohio Senator is interested in something else couple of years from now.
 The Ohio Senator is frequently mentioned as a possible COP Presi- dential candidate in 1852.
 MT. Truman's original blast at Mccarthy was in defending the State Department from the Sena- tors charges that it harbors Con- munists and their sympathizers.
 A Senate Foreign Relations sub committee is Investigating the charges and next week is to hear testimony from Louis Budenz former Communist leader who re- nounced his utilization with the party.
 There are reports that another witness, also described as a former Communist, may be called.
 McCarthy's investigators were re- ported to have talked to the pros- pective witness, but there was nc indication what bearing he might have on the Senator's accusation that Lattimore is a top Soviet spy in this country. Lattimore has viz orously> denied the accusation.
 Budenz, once Communist and now a Fordham University profes- sor, is McCarthy's key witness in the case. Budenz is to testify Thursday April 20, before a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee looking into McCarthy's general charges of Com munism in the State Department.

U. 5. GOVERNMENT HELD
 AT FAULT IN DEATH OF
 OVER 800 IN DISASTER

HOUSTON. Texas. April 13-tH- A Federal judge ruled today the US. government was at fault in the 1947 Texas City disaster which took more than 500 lives.
 Federal District Judge T. M. Ken nerly ruled that 8,548 parties who had sued for 200.000,000 in dam ages "are entitled to judgment" as a result of explosion and disaster. Each suit must go before federal judge to determine it's merits-how much each plaintiff is to receive. The ruling came only three days before the third anniversary of the waterfront explosions which killed 512. injured 5000, and virtually wrecked the coastal city
 The judge ruled specifically in the suits of Elizabeth H. Dalehite for $50,0OO and of Henry Dalehite, Jr., for $15,000.
 But the ruling was extended to cover the huge mass of ,suits-510 suing for death claims, 588 for per- sonal injury and 5.987 for property damage.
 Some of the 8.458 persons and firms suing combined their suits with others. In each case the gov ernment was the defendant.
  The plaintiffs had maintained that the horrible blast was due to the negligence of the US. govern- ment in enforcement of safety regu- lations at the Texas City docks, where ammonium nitrate was being loaded.
 It was at 9:12 am. on April IS. 1947, that ammonium nitrate in the S.S. Grandcamp, a 7.l76-ton Lib- erty ship owned by the French gov ernment exploded.

TRUMAN SAYS FOREIGN PICTURE
 BEST SINCE 1946

WASHINGTON, April l3-R- President Truman said today the International situation is better than it was in 1946.
 The President told his news con- ference there has been gradual improvement during the last four years.
 Asked why he selected the year l946 to begin his comparison, MT. Truman replied it was because l946 was the worst time in Inter- national affairs that he could re- member. That year was the worst time the country has faced short 3f a shooting war, he said.
 MT. Truman obviously had in mind the tension with Russia at that time. Because he recalled that it was in 1947 that the United States sponsored the military aid program for Greece and Turkey and later initiated the Marshall Plan to assist Western European recovery.

ALUMINUMC0. OF CANADA IS AFTER POWER
3. (. Might 0bjetf to Water Export 300, ,000-Ton
 Plant Is Planned

VANCOUVER. B.C., April 13-lR The Aluminium Company of Can ada and Aluminium Company of America may be wing for water power in Northern British Colum- bia. The goal would be development of a S50O,0O0,0o0 aluminium plant at tidewater.
 The Canadian company is plan- ling an all-Canadian project with reduction plant capable of pro- lucing 100000 tons of aluminium lngots per year at Kitimat. 400 niles up the coast from Vancouver
 Kitimat is less than 100 miles from the Canadian National Rail- ways line. The water power would come from the Necha1o River area, east of Kitimat.
 The American company has con- firned reports it is considering building a plant near Skagway in Alaska. It would have to be powered from a dam site in Cana dian territory.
 The proposed American plant near Skagway would be just a few miles from the starting point ot he old Chilkoot Trail where the orospectors of 1898 began their journey to the Klondike gold fields.
 Official Statement
 Lands Minister Kenney of British Columbia said last week: "The gov ernment of B. c. is solidly behind the Aluminium Company of Canada in the project, with the reduction plant in Beat Kilimat."
 Industrialists here said the B.C. government might have strong ob- itctions to export of water power for the benefit of an American manufacturing plant in Alaska.
 The American, strip of territory in Southern Alaska is narrow. Thus } plant near Skagway would need it's powerhead in B.C. A tunnel be- tween IA and 19 miles long would start in B.C. and end in Alaska at sea-level, more than 2,OO0 feet be- low the level of the. interior lakes.
 One of the main difficulties faced by the Aluminium Company of Can ada is construction of a 50-mile power transmission line between the dam site and Kitimat.
 Studies of the proposed route will be made next winter. The line would have to cross a 6,OOO-foot range between the power head and reduction plant. Heavy icing conditions make line-building and maintenance an unknown hazard.

FOLTA E ORDERED
 TO END KETCHIkAN
 COURT, FLY WEST

District Judge George w. Folta has been ordered to Anchorage, to open court there next Monday, it was announced today by word re- ceived from Ketchikan.
 The judge and his staff have been holding court in the first city for several weeks and were not due to leave there until April 24, when it was scheduled they would re- turn to Juneau.
 J. w. Leivers, clerk of the court .elephoned his office here that the sudden and unexplained order meant that at least one case must be dropped from the calendar in Ketchikan.
 The staff will arrive here Satur- day, and Judge Folta and his sec- retary, Marie Jensen, will take off next day for the Hub City
 It was not known if the present anti trust cases being heard before a federal grand jury had anything to do with the order, but it is known the docket there is crowded. md it was presumed the judge was called to help clear it before the cases came into court.
 Judge Folta, M. William Krasi- ,ovsky, law clerk. Marie Jensen, Mildred Maynard, court reporter, md Leivers went south several weeks ago to open an equity term.
 Indications were here that court would not open in Juneau until about May 1 or perhaps later.
