"Alaska Could Put Up A He'll Of A

(By Murlin B. Spencer)
 ANCHORAGE, (P-Steel hel- meted troops, carrying rifles, pis- tols and gas masks, are on the alert at Alaska's air and military bases. They are taking no chances of a possible surprise attack.
 Tanks and additional combat troops are expected to augment air force and infantry soldiers at the big Elmendorf air force base here.
 Given even little warning five could put up hell of fight right now," said It. Gen. Nathan Twin ing, silver-haired commander-in- chief of the Alaskan command.
 This. wartime preparedness ex- tends on long line running gen. orally southwestward from Ladd air force base at Fairbanks in the northern interior to Kodiak at the western entrance to the Gulf of Alaska. This will be Alaska's line of defense in the event of an at- tack.
 Since Americans started shoot ing in Korea, all troops in the Alaskan area, even service troops, are being trained in the use of ground weapons. All have been assigned positions to take in case of an emergency.
 All precautions are being taken against the possibility of sabotage or fifth column activity from within.
 It is obvious that primary pre- cautions are being taken against the chance of attack by para troops. It is for this that Twining awaits tanks. which are highly effective against troops dropped from the air.
 With even brief warning, Twining believes real fight could be put up against such an attack. Jet fighters would slash at troop-carrying planes in the air and ground troops would battle the invaders who reached the ground.
 But it also is obvious that to be sure of holding, the overall com mander of all Alaska forces could use more troop and more and heavier equipment.

"Rank And File'' COP Map Policy

PHILADELPHIA, R)-A group of self-styled frank and file" Re- publicans from 10 states Saturday, mapped plans for new progres- sivism" in the party. }
 The group cloaked it's activities in secrecy and refused to make public the names of the 50 or so men here to set up policies they hope will become part of the COP platform.
 But the group made no secret of it's dissatisfaction with the po- sltion of the Republican party.
 It invited Pennsylvania's Gpv- ernor James H. Duff, avowed foe of reaction" in the party, to out line his plans for Republican pro- gressivism.
 A spokesman for the group said pointedly, however, that Duff is not a member of the group.

To keep your tractor in running

engine clean during summer and
early fall use.
The increased use of milking
is the most. important de-
velopment in handling milk on the
farm in the past thirty years. The
u. S. Department of Agriculture
says that mechanical cooling sys-
TENS are second in Importance.
Pulletts grow on good, clean
range, away from older birds, make
healthy prospects for the late sum-

This helps to prevent disease carry

chose" he continued.
Dollar Seen Cheapened
With each passing day these
citizens are realizing more and
more, Mr.. BOggs stated, that reck-
less and wasteful spending by our
Federal Government, advocated
and carried out by the Truman Adj
ministration, and resulting in heav-
Ter taxes and greater initiation, are
cheapening the dollar, depriving
the wage Garner and farmer of
control over altogether too much.
of his own income, and destroying
the savings, life insurance values
and investments of the American
people"
Citing only two of what he said
were hundreds of established ex-
amples Of reckless, wasteful and in
efficient spending, Congressman
Boggs told the audience that in
vestigation had disclosed that the
Entomology and Plant Quarantine
Bureau had rented one airplane
at 500 an hour during the gass-
hopper-killing campaign last year.
The Bureau he said paid a total
rental of S27, 900 in two weeks for
that plane, which originally had
cost the owner only $4,000. At the
same time, Mr.. Boggs continued,
the investigators located a plane
owned by the Bureau in a nearby
hanger, and that pIane-Owned by
the Bureau-had made flights total
ing only 80 hours during the pre-
ceding q months. To top it off, the
speaker continued it then developed
that the Bureau had miscalculated
the number Of grasshOppers per
yard, had not used enough killing
spray, and the job had to be redone.
AS another example Of govern
ment waste, Congressman Bogga
said that the Army tore down a
camp in Alaska which had cost 16
million dollars and shipped the
lumber back to Seattle. There he
said, the Interior Department took
over the lumber and shipped II
back to d place which was only ten
miles from its starting point in
Alaska.

Harmless Chemical
Protects Grain

BALTIMORE - up - An insec-
ticide which it's makers say is the
first to protect grain from insects
and yet be harmless to man has
been developed here. u. S. Indus
trial Chemicals, Inc, which has
been developing the insecticide for
four years, said wheat farmers are
now losing up to As cents a bushel
on their crops because of insect
damage.
The new development is intended
to prevent insects from invading
stored grain. It's not recommended
for treatment of grain already heav-
lily infested. The company said the
insecticide is not dangerous to hui
mans or animals even when used
in quantities far exceeding those
recommended. The treated grain
can be used for -four and cereal or
fed directly to livestock without
special processing.
The product is a combination Of
a new chemical, piperonyl butox-
.ide, and pyrethrins. The insecticide
is mixed with pulverized wheat or
talcum powder to make it cling to
the grain.

FOrgetfulness Makes
Business

JACKSONVILLE BEACH. Fla
(H)-People who forget make a
nice business for Bert Sauls. He Is
a locksmith. Most of his work is
opening cars, horses and boxes for
people who locked the keys inside
or lost them.
Sauls has yet to find a safe he
can't open. The reason safe crack
ers have so much trouble, he said,
is that they just don't have enough
time.
While Sauls isn't giving up his
picks and gadgets in favor of the
words open, Sesame" he found
the magic phrase apparently more
effective one time. After more than
IS minutes trying without success
to open a door for a woman, SauIs
leaned against it and it swung
open. 1t hadn't been locked in the
first place.
Many times when he is called to
open auto doors he finds a window
open or door unlocked on the 9th
