TWINING GIVEN
FOUR-5TAR RANK
IN APPOINTMENT

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL = R =
President Truman named a veteran
strategic air commander to the
number two job in the Air Force
yesterday and sent one of the serv-
ices most noted young men to COM
mand the US. Air Forces in Europe.
1t. General Nathan F. Twining
whose 18th Air Force made the long
range attacks on German targets
from Italy during World War II,
was appointed Vice Chief of Staff of
the Air Force.
This gives him four-star rank.
Until recently, Twining commanded
all us. military forces in Alaska.
1t. General Lauis Norstad, who
has been acting Vice Chief OF
Staff of the Air Force, was appointed
Commander-in-C Chief of the us.
Air Forces in Europe. Norstad was
director of operations of the Medi-
terranean Allied Air Forces and
Chief Of Staff of the goth Air Force
during the last war In recent years
he teamed with Admiral Forrest P.
Sherman, now Chief of Naval OPP
erations, to develop plan for uni
fication of the Armed Services.
Norstad's new appointment was
widely interpreted as an indication
that the us. Air Forces in Europe
are to be increased in size and i'm
portance. At present they include
two fighter groups of rs planes each
and one troop-carrier group of SO
planes. Three American groups of
medium bombers and the fighter
group stationed with them in Eng
land are not now under operational
control of the US. Air Forces in
Europe.

With three Territorial offices to
be filled Delegate in Congress,
Treasurer and Labor Commissioner
it was apparent from early returns
received in Juneau today that all
three incumbents would be re-
elected by comfortable margins.
E. L. Bartlett, present Delegate.

against Almer j. Peterson, RepubI-
can, of Anchorage.
Henry Roden, appointed to the

Ketchikan, where there were rs

Republican and Ketchikan public
accountant.
Henry A. Benson, Labor Commits
sioner. was piling up comfortable
lead over his Democratic opponent,
Ross E. Kimball, as returns con-
tinued to roll into Juneau from
precincts throughout the Territory.
On the basis of returns from 81
of the 1913 precincts in the Terri
tory, Benson was ahead of Kimball
almost two to one-7,173 to 4,248.
In the First Division. returns from
26 of the 81 precincts gave Bartlett
1886 to 1921 for Peterson in the
Delegate race. Roden received 1922
votes, while Benson had 1920 to
1928 for Kimball.
The larger precincts Of this Di-

not expected to change the outcome
of either contest.

40 THOUSAND MORE
|DRAFTEES will BE
CALLED IN DECEMBER

WASHINGTON, Oct. II - R =
The military gave its Army expan-
sion program another boost today
with a new call for 10000 more
draftees, while at the same time it
tried to decide what should be flu
ture policy about using National
Guard divisions.
The new draft call, issued last
night, is for 10000 inductees during
December. 1t raises the total of
calls since the defense program
started to 100000.
Added to men already in the Army
or brought in under liberalization
of National Guard units and call up
of reservists, this indicates the
Army has or will have within a
few months more than $4,000 men.
That does not include an inspect
fled but presumably substantial
number of men in reserve units
brought into active duty during the
last three months.
The Army's reported objective,
under the ,00O-man Armed
Force proposed by President Tru-
man, is between 100000 and
100000 men.
Thus it seems probable the OBJ
jective can be reached perhaps by
next spring-if training facilities
and other physical limitations on
the speed of expansion permit.

BIG TALkFE5T IS
TO TAKE PLACE
DURING WEEKEND
Truman, Gen. Macarthur
10 Confer in Brief,
Spectacular Meeting

WASHINGTON, Oct. II = Up =
President Truman and Gen. Doug
las Macarthur will meet somewhere
in the Pacific this weekend for
talks sweeping the whole range OF
critical Far Eastern problems.
The chief executive, with party
of military and diplomatic advisers.
planned to leave here today Q2:30
pm, psf, on the first leg OF the
long flight which he will resume at
st. Louis Thursday night.
The party is due at Honolulu IN
the Hawaiian Islands Friday, and
the two men, with Macarthur COM
ing from Tokyo, will meet over the
weekend somewhere west OF Hawaii.
The exact location, and whether it
would be on an island or a ship,
were not disclosed.
Plans were announced yesterday
without any advance specuiatioii'
but White House Secretary Charles
G. Ross told reporters, 1T is the
result of no sudden emergency.
The talks will be the first meet
ing between the President and Mac
Arthur, who has not been back W
the United States since 1887.
Administration officials expect
the conference to produce lar
better understanding between the
two men on some issues, notably
Formosa, which have divided them
in the past as well as on develop
mey t of us. Far Eastern policy IN
the future.
In addition, Mr.. Truman's home
front position can be expected to be
strengthened in two respects by the
brief. spectacular meeting:
1. 1t will no longer be possible for
his critics to accuse him of having
failed to consult Macarthur on con-
troyersial Far Eastern matters-a
charge which some Republicans
have thrown at the President for a
long time.
2. The meeting will dramatize a
deem Presidential interest in Mac
Arthur and his views and in the
Korean crisis shortly in advance OF
the Congressional elections-some OF
which may turn on Far Eastern
questions.

STATEHOOD
BILLSAGAIN
BROUGHT UP

WASHINGTON, Oct. II - Up -
Senator O'Mahoney D-Wyo) said
today he sees no obstacle to final
Senate approval of bills to grant
statehood for Alaska and Hawaii.
We've got the votes, and the bills
will pass" O'Mahoney told re-
porter.
The statehood bills are slated for
Senate debate when Congress re-
convenes next month. The House
has passed both bills, and President
Truman has endorsed them.
O'Mahoney said he discounts
heavily reports that foes of the
statehood bills plan last-ditch
fight to beat or sidetrack them.
But reports persisted that some
Southern Democrats and others are
determined to fight both measures
and may even resort to marathon
speechmaking to delay action.
Defeat of these bills would be
tragic" O'Mahoney said. plain COM
mon sense and justice call for their
approyal, and we've got the votes
to get them approved.
1.-The Russians would seize upon
defeat of these bills as propaganda
material that would cause us ire
mendous harm in the Orient. Pass
age of these bills would be bold
evidence that we practice what we
preach: that we stand for Democ-
racy and self-government. and not
for colonial imperialism"

COP LEADS
IN Senate
AND HOUSE
Peratrovieh Eliminated in
First Division Sem
ate Race !

A strong Republican tide appeared
today in the early returns from yes
terday's Alaska legislative elections
The outcome of many races fol
both the House and Senate remained
uncertain at press time today. with
only 81 of the 233 precincts in the
Territory reported.
On the basis of these early re-
turns, Republicans were ahead for
five Senate seats; the Democrats
we're leading for one. This does not
take into consideration the scanty
returns from the Second Division.
where two Senate seats are at stake.
Republicans also were ahead for
IL House seats; the Democrats were
leading for eight seats. No trend has
yet been indicated for four other
seats, allocated to the Second Di-
vision.
The Democrats apparently have
most of their strength in the Third
Division, where contestants for the
House are in very tight race.
The legislative race picture in
three of the four divisions is as fol-
lows:
First Division
Incumbent Democratic Senator
Frank Peratrovich, seeking re-elec-
ton, was decisively eliminated from
the running by early returns Today
he trailed Democrat James Nolan
and Republican Elton e. Engstrom
by approximately 1000 votes. Nolan
and Engstrom were in tight race
for first place.
Republican Doris M. Barnes was
well out in front in the House con-
test, followed by Republicans Hem
erickson, Locken. MacKinnon and
MacSpadden, in that order. Crowd
ing the leaders were Jensen, Met
calfe and Stewart. Democrats, and
Johnson, Republican. Returns from
outlying precincts are expected to
change the picture during the next
day or two, especially among sew
enth, eighth and ninth place candi-
dates.
Third Division
Twenty out Of 10 precincts in the
Third Division gave the following
results:
Senate: Snider. 2235; Engebreth.
2.l73, both Republicans. Rivers,
1853; Loussac, 1.161, both Demo-
Gratis.
House: Egan CD, 1.905; Kay CD.
1,843; Scavenius CD, 1929; Con-
