SLIM CHANCE FOR
STATEHOOD VOTE
DECLARES LUCAS

WASHINGTON, Dec. - R -
Senate Majority Leader Lucas Cd
lid declares that, so long as Senate
rules permit a filibuster. there is
no possible chance of voting on
the Alaska statehood bill at this
session."
Lucas made the observation in
response to an inquiry by Senator
O'Mahoney D-Wyo), as to the pos
sibility of further consideration of
the statehood bill.
Lucas said the rent control bill
will be followed by an attempt to
take up the railroad labor bill. Then
he said, some emergency legisla-
ton dealing with the Korean stu
alton" will have the right of way.
It should like to take up for con-
sideration the Alaska statehood
BILL" Lucas said. II should do SO
in preference to the railway labor
bill if thought there was the
slightest chance of passing the
statehood bill"
Lucas added:
"If such (Korean) legislation
comes before us, presume we will
have to give it our attention in
preference to a motion to consider
the Alaska statehood bill"

Ac|1eson Case
Up 10 Gopers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 = Up -
Republican Senate leaders decided
today to let all COP Senators pass
upon a formal request "for the re-
signation or replacement of Secre-
tary of State Acheson."
Senator Taft (R-Ohio), chairman,
told reporters this was the deci-
sion of the Senate COP Policy
Committee.
Taft said the 11-member Policy
Committee, after an hour and a
half closed-door session, took no
direct action itself.
Instead it agreed to call a con-
ference of all 43 Republican Sena-
tors early next week, probably
Tuesday, for a discussion of the
Dust Acheson move as well as the
broader subject of foreign and mill
tary policies.
Even if the Republican Senators
agreed to back the demand, there is
no assurance it would be met. Presi-
dent Truman has said repeatedly
he has no intention of letting
Acheson go.

JUST tai Ks
by AT TLEE
AND TRUMAN
No 'Appeasement' in Kor.
can Situation with
Commies Of China

WASHINGTON, Dec. = tR -
President Truman and Prime Min
lister Attlee. appeared ready today
to consider any reasonable pro-
posal for a Korean settlement if 1t
does not call for "appeasement" OF
the Chinese Communists.
At the same time officials here
disavowed any real optimism over
the prospects for acceptance by
Red China of an appeal by Is peace
seeking Asian countries for the
Communists to cease fire and nego-
tiate settlement.
Attlees ideas as to what would
be reasonable proposal for settle
ment presumably were sought at a
forenoon conference he had with
Madame Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit,
the Indian Ambassador.
They talked for about 80 minutes
at the British Embassy. Reporters
were told they discussed Korea and
the possibility of settlement, but
the Embassy would give no further
information.
India has been active in trying
to promote negotiation of the Ko-
rean problems.
Conference Continues
The White House announced the
Truman Attlee conferences will
continue at least through tomorrow.
Stephen T. Early. acting Presiden-
tic. Secretary said it was impossible
to say at this time whether they
might extend beyond Friday.
AS the Anglo-American talks en-
tered their fourth day $3.50 pm,
EST the President and Prime
Minister were concentrating on
plans for a speedup in western
European rearmament with the
prospect that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover can be named as Supreme
Commander in a week or 10 days.
Korean Situation
But the critical Korean situation
continued to overshadow the WASH
ington conference.
They were reported to have
reached an understanding on the
limits beyond which they would not
go in negotiating settlement.
The position may be roughly
summarized as one of favoring
peace but not at any price. On the
part of the American government
there is firm decision against any
voluntary withdrawal of forces in
the face of Chinese Communist
pressure. But if the U.N. troops
cannot hold on at some point and
if the Communists will not make
settlement an enforced withdrawal
would be the only alternative.

Air Support
The Allies are depending on a
favorable mountain terrain and con-
centrated air support to offset their
disadvantage in manpower. The
Communists are said to have an
army of 100000 in this sector plus
10000 more in reserve.

FUNDS RESTORED
FOR SPRING WORK
ON ARC HIGHWAYS

Spring operations on the Alaska
Road Commissions highways next
season is now assured with the adj
vices received today by Col. John
r. Moves. Road Commissioner, from
Washington, that 100000 has been
allowed by the Bureau of the Bud
get. from funds amounting to ST.
100000 previously withdrawn from
the 1851 fiscal year appropriations.
Restoration of the funds was re-
quested by the Road Commission
and the Interior Department in view
of the fact that the amount with
drawn was the fund reserved for
the early seasonal operations.
The withdrawal of 81 100000 from
the Alaska Road Commission ap-
preparation was included in the
general withdrawal last october by
the Bureau of the Budget from APP
preparations to various agencies, in
pairing government appropriations
in all non-defense activities.
While the Alaska Road Commits
sion is not a defense agency. Col.
Noyes pointed out that the work it
is doing is of primary Importance
in Alaskan defense plans, which
fact justified the restoring OF funds
for spring operations.
Restoration Of the 100000 fund
will permit the start of normal OPP
Grafton in the spring on all active
road projects except the new Pax
SON Mckinley Park road. Work on
this project will be curtailed as 1t
was included in the remaining por-
ton of the funds withdrawn, Col.
Noyes said.
