Congress Is Clearing Way
 For Marshall

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6 - iR - The way was almost clear today for Gen. George c. Marshall to take over as Secretary of Defense.
 Riding down Republican opposi- ton, Congress voted yesterday to shatter a longtime precedent and let a military man-instead of a civilian-enter the cabinet as boss of military department.
 Only President Truman's certain approval of this action and equally certain Senate confirmation of Marshall's nomination remain be- fore Marshall can step in.
 The House voted, 220 to 105, ap- proval to a bill, requested by MT Truman, to amend the Armed Serv- ices Unification Act to permit Mar shall-and only he--to become Sec retary of Defense. This 1947 law had specified that only a civilian could hold the post. One hundred Republicans and five Democrats voted against the bill.
 Before it acted, the House added an amendment expressing the sen- timent of Congress that Marshall's s appointment must not be followed by the nomination of another mili- tary man when he retires.
 Accepting this added safeguard without debate, the Senate couple of hours later voted AT to 21 to send the bill on to President Truman.
 One Democrat, McCarran of Ne vada, joined 20 Republicans in vot- ing against passage. Thirty-seven Democrats and 10 Republicans sup ported 1t.
 The Presidents signature on the bill will open the way for Mar shall's formal nomination to suc- ceed Louis A. Johnson wh oresigned early this week.

.FW5 CRANE IN PORT FROM THREE MONTHS
 SEASON, SHUMAGIM

The Crane, Fish and Wildllfe Service boat, is in port from three months in the Shumagin Islands areas on fish trap and stream pa- trol. The vessel left Seattle for the trip north last May Is and arrived back in Juneau early sthis morning. Master of the ship is Capt. Linn Jorgenson with Franklin R. Thom- as, mate and Swan Peetrson, en- gineer.
 Area of patrol for the FWS ves- sel was from Chignik Bay to Uni mak Pass with two Pacific American Fisheries and one F. Harris can neries in the area. One PAF can nery is at Squaw Harbor and the other at King Cove with the P. Harris cannery at False Pass.
 The crew of the Crane saw Pavlof volcano in action several times Puffs of smoke looked like giant sized smoke signals to the en- gineer Thomas Two stream guards were stationed in the Pavlof area with one at Volcano Bay and the other at Canoe Bay just off Pavlof Bay.
 One trip was made to Dutch Harbor with a stop at the old whaling station on Akutan Island to deliver mail. Mail delivered there in August was the first mail since June. The Akutan volcano is more active than Pavlof, according to Thomas.
 The crew saw quite lot of sea otter and they appear to be on the increase because of the closed sea- son on them. A one week run of salmon swamped the floating can nery at Luke Cape on Unimak Island.
 On the trip into Juneau, the Crane had to lay in at Sand Point for two days because of bad weather. Leaving Valdez, the weather had been perfect but from Sand Point to Prince William Sound there was nothing but bad weather. The crew is waiting for orders to take the Crane to Seattle.

EDITOR IN FIREBA(k,
 BARTLETT
Strand Replies 10 Delegate
 on Statement Made About Information Given Bow

FAIRBANKS. Alaska, Sept. 16- Rt-Editor William Strand fired back today at Congressional Delegate Bartlett's reference to him as being linked with the controversial Sen- ator Schoeppel (R-Kans) speech in Congress.
 Since when is it crime to ask for information?" asked the Daily News Miner Editor.
 Bartlett has issued statement in Washington yesterday in which he named Strand as one of those from whom Frank Bow, aide to Senator Schoeppel, solicited information in preparing the controversial attack on Interior Secretary Chapman.
 Tt was my pleasure while in Washington, D. O., recently to talk to MT. Bow among quite number of Federal officials" Strand replied today Our conversation was con- cerned with the sad state of public affairs in Alaska at the present time. MT. Bow is not a subscriber to the Daily News-Miner. Therefore he was not conversant with such glowing chapters in the story of the present Alaska administration as the Palmer land deal.
 T attempted. with few well chos- en words, to bring him up to date on that and other recent episodes in the government of the Territory"
 "The only regulations blasted be- long to those in the Territorial ad- ministration responsible for these conditions. If they are readers of the News-M Miner, they know who they are.
 Delegate Bartlett states that no further explanation regarding the Feltus deal (the hiring of public relations agent to work for state hood after he had once had an as- signment for Communist Poland needs to be given the Alaska public. In this he is in error. Many Alask- ans, myself included. still want to know what Feltus did to earn $8,000 of Alaska taxpayers money"
 Bartlett had said that these known foes of statehood joined with Bow. in campaign that had the dual purpose of hurting statehood and blasting mems reputations.'

COUNCIL REJECTS PROJECT DELAY AZ
 "FAL5E ECONOMY

Councilman J. P. Christensen's call for a "pay-as-you-go" policy was beaten down with cries o1 false economy" at the meeting of the City Council last night.
 Christensen suggested that the city stop all work not exactly necessary in order to conserve funds still in the city treasury until tax monies begin coming in
 He referred to projects on which contracts have not yet been let Most important of these is a $4,00O job which will connect the dead ends of Distin Avenue and Eighth Street by a single-lane fill and viaduct.
 He pointed out that the city has already borrowed $50,OOO for current running expenses and will be forced to borrow $22,000 more before Oct ober l to pay interest on bonds.
 False Economy
 Councilman James Larsen led the opposition to Christensen's sugges- tion. Forming suGh move false economy" he said that the small amount of interest which would have to be paid for the short time the city would borrow needed funds would make the delay in carrying out the needed projects unwise.
 Cars using the full length of Distin Avenue are forced to back up one and one-half blocks to get out. This has resulted in damage to several automobiles each winter, he said.
 Referring to the money which will have to be borrowed to pay the interest due on bonds October l, it was pointed out that that amount would be repaid within a month from funds received under the city's new sales and service tax.
 Part of the $50,000 already bor- rowed has been used to pay inter- est on bonds and will be repaid to the general fund from sales tax money also, it was pointed out.
 Sales tax questions brought up by Juneau business and professional men were considered, and City At torney Howard Stabler was instruc- ted, to draw up rules answering the questions for presentation at the next meeting.

Iank-driving US Marines Roll Into Suburbs of
 Connie -heId Seoul
(By Associated Press)

United Nations forces, spearhead- ed by tank-driving U. s. Marines rolled into the suburbs of Seoul, South Korean capital. today after capturing Kimpo airfield, IS miles northwest of the city.
 The South Korean republics ra- dio at Pusan said the U. N.i forces captured the Yongdungpo industrial suburb of Seoul at 5 pm. (Korean time).
 The broadcast said South Korean Marines, as well as U. S. Leather necks, were engaged in violent street fighting with Korean Reds, while other units of the U. N. forces were advancing toward the heart of Seoul.
 Squeeze on Reds
 Another big allied offensive kicked off all along the 120-mile perimeter of the old southeast beachhead in a drive intended to put the squeeze on the Commit nists from the north and the south.
 U. s. Second Division troops drove through heavy rains and deep mud to the east bank of the Nak- tong River. four and one half miles from their starting point.
 Front line reports said the Kor- can Reds were pulling back vest ward in general exodus" and in vast mad confusion" A division spokesmans. said the mills were ht- tered with North Korean dead.
 Gains Hammered Out
 Elsewhere on the 120 mile front other allied forces hammered out gains from one to three miles.
 Six Red tanks threatening to de- lay the drive on Seoul were knocked out. Carrier planes fin force" cov- cred the advance.
 Field dispatches said the allied forces had established a line across the Inchon Peninsula. Behind the advancing Marines were some 40,- 900 men. pouring ashore with their equipment. South Koreans were mopping up Red remnants in the port city of 100000 population.
 Inchon Captured
 Inchon was captured quickly Fri day after American troops and South Koreans stormed ashore, first on Wolmi Island, which is connected to Inchon by causeway.i They stormed the beaches under a tremendous naval and air bomb-! ardment and swiftly slashed two miles into Inchon proper. a es
 Inchon's port facilities already have been put back into operation! Troops and a flood of equipment flowed ashore Friday night.
 The strategy planned by Gen. Macarthur on July 12 was proceed ing on schedule MacArthur said the big pincer movement would cause the Korean Red army to "disintegrate' sooner or later He obviously gambled that Red China or Russia would not fight.
 The success of the Inchon land ings was credited in a large meas ure to the daring of six allied de- stroyers and blunder by the Reds.
 Reds Make Blunder
 The destroyers were ordered to cruise slowly by Wolmi Island to draw fire from shore positions. The Red guns at first were silent, then made the mistake of opening up on the sitting ducks" This re-

The " Washington Merry Go Round
tcepyrishk leso. by Bell Syndicate, IYc)
 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = There were a good many reasons why Louey Johnson was fired as Secretary of National Defense. He was, of course, the victim of fate in the Korean war. and the President needed political scapegoat.
 But the most important reason, in the end. for Johnson's exit was that he never made friend of his chief in the White House. Had he won Truman as a real friend, the President would have stuck by him through hell and high water-re- gardless of Korea, regardless of military blunders, and regardless of economy at the wrong time.
 Truman has stuck by his friend Mon Wallgren, by his friend Dean Acheson, and by his late friend Tom Pendergast. despite all sorts of criticism. But Johnson was never a friend.
 HI AdCOp uAdAA 4ASvSA SvS<A trusted his Secretary of Defense He knew that Johnson was playing ball with the Republicans, with his old enemy Bernard Baruch, and with others why played on the op- posite political ball team. At one time the President complained to Senator Kilgore. who comes from Johnsons home state, West Vir- ginia:
 Tn order to find out what Louey is up to, have to read the Re- publican Press and the Chicago Tribune"
 Actually. the Presidents decision to fire Johnson was made four or five weeks ago. After making the decision. Truman told very few people, one of them being General Mafshall. Incidentally, it was not until the past week that Marshall finally gave his assent,
