this kind of patronage necessary.

conclusion before long. President

about it now, but he will soon re-

LAST RITES FOR LATHR0P
 ARE PLANNED
Memorial Services in Fair banks with Burial in
 Seattle Ldter

FAIRBANKS, Alaska July 28-tR Final rites were being arranged today for Austin E. Cap" Lathrop. Memorial services for the mll- lionaire businessman and indus trialist, who was struck down We'd nesday by a loaded coal car at his Healy River mine, will be held here Sunday in the Empress Thea ter, one of five show houses which he owned in the Territory.
 Burial will be in the Forest Lawn Cemetery at Seattle Thursday, fol- i lowing services at the Bonney Wat son Funeral Home. As stipulated in his will, Lathrop will be in tered alongside his father, mother and two sisters.
 The body will be flown 70 Seattle Meanwhile, as telegrams from friends poured into the local off ces of the Lathrop Co.,, coroners jury sitting at the scene of We'd nesday's tragedy returned a yer dict of accidental death.
 The inquest had been called by U. s. Commissioner Margaret Sulli- van of Nenana.
 William E. Martin, timekeeper at the mine, 112 miles south of here, said Lathrop either ripped or fell under the wheels of the loaded car.
 The bulk of the car hid the elderly, but active, man from the view of the brakeman, Martin said.
 The timekeeper said there we're no witnesses to the accident but that the brakemans scream when he saw Lathrop's body on the tracks brought him running from the mine office.
 Martin said he could find no pulse and telephoned Fairbanks for doctor.

SHOOT FIR5T''
 RICHARDSON
 GUARDS TOLD
Unidentified Trespassers Flee to Woods when
 Challenged dt Fort

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 28- R-Security guards at Fort Rich ardson have orders to shoot [. necessary to halt trespassersi found wandering in restricted areas, Post Commander Brig. Gen. Donald R Hutchinson said today.
 Hutchinson reported several in- stances recently where unidentified persons have been seen fleeing into the woods near aircraft dispersal units when challenged by guards.
 The general announced plans to tighten security throughout Fort Richardson and the ElmendOrf All Force Base at a wing staff meeting yesterday.
 He shifted new personnel into the office of special investigation and augmented the 57th Air Police Squadron. Personnel shifts ranged from gate guards to top intelligence officers.
 Three persons, arrested as un- authorized visitors at the fort, were fined total of S225. Two of them were women.
 The round-the-cl clock check or security caught one guard red faced. An OSI agent casually asked the guard what time it was and, when the guard glanced away to see a nearby clock, the agent planted a wooden bomb" Not until the agent exposed the guards laxity some time later, was the guard even aware of what hap pened.
 Meanwhile, military leaders said that next to the security problem their biggest fear is of the effect the strike of the AFL plumbers union will have on the regions military construction.
 They described as a "misstate- ment" a union contention that nc military work has been delayed by the strike. The union went out on strike Wednesday to enforce a wage demand of $3.50 an hour, 50 cents more than at present, plus other contract conditions.

RUSS REENTRY INTO U. N. COUNCIL HAS
 FEM ALL GUESSING
Diplomats Sharply Divided on Regarding Import
 dnce of Decision

LAKE SUCCESS, July 28-lR- United Nations diplomats were sharply divided today on the ques- tion was Russias decision to end her LIN. boycott just another step in the cold war or an admission that the boycott was big mistake?
 The question may be answered Tuesday when the Russians return, but meantime these lines of specu- lation were heard at LIN. head quarters:
 Russia intends to challenge the legality of the Security Coun- cil's Korean intervention and try to block any further LIN. action.
 2+Russia intends to try new approach in her fight to oust Ma tionalist China from the LIN. and seat the Chinese Reds.
 3-Russia is merely coming back for a propaganda blast and may re- sume her walkout-boycott which was started last January in protest against the presence of the Chinese Nationalists.
 4-Russia is getting ready for new Communist moves either in the Balkans or against Formosa and wants to be on hand to veto any council action.
 5-Russia realizes she has made a mistake and is coming back to try to find way to end the Ko- rean conflict.
 All this, however, was. admittedly nothing more than speculation.
 US. Delegate Warren R. Austin said he would not comment until I go to Vermont and consult an old apple tree"
 In Manila, Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, President of the General Assembly, said Rusias decision to assume the council presidency ill her regular turn is proof the LIN. cannot be intimidated."
 In Greenville, sc, former Secre- tary of State James F. Byrnes also took an optimistic view. He said:

WAGE, PRICE CONTROLS GET TOP SUPPORT
Bdruth Plan Gathers Back ers-Store Sales zoom-
 Sugar Supply High

WASHINGTON, July 28 - R = Considerable support built up IT Congress today for drive to put the country under rationing and wage and price control. The idea is to substitute full homefront mobilization for Pres ident Truman's limited economic control bill.
 The House banking committed approved the Presidents plan, 20 to l, late yesterday, but only after it failed by one-vote margin tc take instead the all-out economic control plan proposed by elder statesman Bernard M. Baruch. The Baruch plan lost 10 to g. Six Republicans and three Democrats supported it. Nine Democrats and
 one Republican opposed it. Rep. Kunkel (R-Pa) author of the all-out substitute, announced immediately he will take the fight to the House floor when the bill comes up there next Tuesday. His measure would roll back prices to their lowest level between July 24 and 28.
 Powerful support gathered be- hind the Baruch plan. One high placed Democrat said it might pass the House.
 [ Chairman Vinson (D-GaD of the | House armed services committed said T am for the Baruch plan Otherwise there will be imitation absolutely out of control" Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Board reported that departmen, store sales last week ran 46 per cent higher than in the same week

 Week before last the increase over 1949's corresponding week was 25 per cent.
 Also, the Agriculture Department said that sugar sales by primary distributors jumped 37 per cent In
 the first three weeks of July as
 compared with the same l949 per-
 iod.
 The department announced that,
 while there is already plenty of
 sugar, the government will buy
 remaining Cuban stocks. IL said
 this will give the U. s. total
 marketable supply of more than
 8,450,000 tons-largest ever in any

PAVING TO AUX BAY, THANE, DOUGLAS TO
 BEGIN IN SHORT TIME
Road 10 Fish Creek, 6z Miles, Will Be Built
 on Douglas Island

The first extension of a road in the Juneau area for 10 years was promised today as plans were re- yealed for construction of a high way north of Douglas Island to Fish Creek.
 The six and one-half mile road will open up tremendous area for homesites and give access to town for those already living in scattered settlements in the vicinity.
 The widening and paving of the Glacier Highway from the airport to Aux Bay, plus paving of the Thane and Douglas roads, both widened last year, is also planned. This work may begin this season, it was believed.
 The three big projects will cost some $2,500,000.
 For two years the Bureau of Pub lie Roads and the Forest Service have been attempting to obtain a special appropriation from Congress for the modernization and extension of roads around Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka, in addition to their reg ular appropriation granted for for est highways.
 Regional Forester B. Frank Heint- zleman, along with Delegate Bob Bartlett and Bureau of Public Roads representatives appeared this spring before the Senate public works com mittee to testify on the need for a $7252, ,O00 fund to make the wanted improvements.
 Fund Authorized
 Their efforts bore fruit last week when the committee recommended authorization of the sum. Appro- priation of the money must be awaited before bids can be let and the work begin.
 The money is for two-year per- iod beginning this fiscal year, Heintzleman explained.
 The Bureaus regular appropria- tion of $1,5O0,000 for roads in forest areas has been upped this year $500 OO0, as Congress removed the arbitrary limits set for 10 years on the amount of money which could come to Alaska.
 Federal highways appropriations have always been made in lump sum for the whole nation, with a formula for each section applied so that certain amounts went to each Urea. The formula held road money here to the million and half sum for the past three years, but with this bar removed, Alaska gained $300,000 this year.

Army Plans Increase of
 24o,o!oo Men
More than 11z Billion to Be Spent on Tanks, Guns
 and Other Hardware

WASHINGTON, July 9 ;R = The Army plans to step up its strength to 834,O00, an increase of 24O0O0 officers and men over the 594 1000 now in uniform. Rep. Vim son (D-Ga) announced today.
 The. increase is planned under President Truma ms additional emergency budget request of $10,- 50O,000,000 for fiscal 1851.
 Vinson, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army Chief of Staff, told the committee that the Army wants $3,059. .154 ,000.
 Of this amount, 54 percent or s1 ,651 100000 will be spent for tanks, guns. field artillery and other hardware equipment
 Vinson declined to give any arms details but it is understood that a considerable amount will be spent for tanks and guns, especially the new anti-aircraft gun, the Sky sweeper.
 Also appearing before the com- mittee were Maj. Gen. E. L. Ford, Chief of Army Ordinance, and Brig. Gen. Leslie Simon, Chief of Ord nance Research.
 The session concluded a week long inquiry by the committee into preparedness of the military services and their immediate plans for ex- oansion.
 Asked if he was satisfied with re- ports from the Army, Navy, Ma rines, and Air Forces, Vinson de- clined immediate comment.
 The Army already is slated to get 100000 draftees by Oct. 30. This may be followed with at least one more draft call before the end of the year to reach the 834,000 man goal.

SENATE IS. DEBATING
 BIG FUNDS
Tentatively Approves Ap- propraition for National
 Defense, Other Measures

WASHINGTON, July 28 = R - The Senate today tentatively ap- proved a $13,294 ,58l ,821 national de- fense appropriation for the year which began July l.
 The action, by a series of voice votes, does not cover the additional $10,500 100000 in emergency mili- tary funds President Truman asked only last Monday.
 That request will be taken up later in separate bill.
 Approval of the regular defense item came as the Senate Democratic leadership urged speed-up in de- bate to permit final vote early next week on the $34,688, ,000, ,000 single package appropriations bill.
 The catch-all measure carries funds for operation of most gov- ernment agencies during the current fiscal year.
 The defense section of the bill was approved without any major change in the amount approved by the Senate Appropriations Commit tee. The bill as it passed the House included $12,91O,702 300 in defense money.
 Senate debate on the big measure has dragged along without much cutting.
 That prompted Senator Douglas D-IlD to say today he is damned discouraged" at results of his efforts ta trim non-defense spending.

WASHINGTON-Our ex-Ambas- sador to Russia, Gen. Bedell Smith, recently told a closed-door session of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee how a Soviet propaganda film backfired.
 ''The Russians are intensely ln- terested in how the man in the small American town or city lives, " Gen. Smith told the senators. "The great Russian propaganda picture, 'Rusky Vaprosk,' which was ter rible indictment of American jour nalism and foreign policy, played in 500 theatres simultaneously in the Soviet Union. But it lasted only two weeks in Moscow.
 We had American observers at the theatre almost every night. The audience reaction was interest ing. In one scene, the producer had accurately shown tenement in the east side of New York  what we would consider extremely poor housing.
 ITO the Muscovite," Smith con- tinued, Tt was darn good housing, housing Russians would compete for Between the tenement build ings were clotheslines, and aud- fence reaction was. My God. how many clothes they have! Look at themP"
 General Smith smiled at this rec ollection and went on: Then the film showed the little Westchester bungalow of the downtrodden re- porter who was losing his job and his wife because he had written something good about the Soviet Union. The audience was not in-
