strong can the West get-how
quickly?
The timetable of the new al
lance calls for an adequate force
to defend Western Europe against
the Soviet threat In three years
by 1858. That Is the latest mill
tary guess of when the Soviets
might strike. It is an amendment
of the old estimate, based largely
on when we expected them to get
the atomic bomb. In that in
stance, Moscow beat our time
table by two years.
Exact Goals Not Yet Set.
The exact military goals of the

for Washington October 16 has

and 1t may not.
But the broad pattern is no
secret. Winston Churchill put 1t
at about so divisions. presumably
not including dozen in Italy; all
would be much better equipped
with armor and flrepower than
any Of the last war.
These would face 80 to ITS divi-

a dinner given by the Hoonah chap ter of the Alaska Native Sisterhood. At this, the Hoonah community band played several stirring marches and selections.
 Sunday night marked the con- clusion of a week of intense mis- sionary service, when Andrew Gambel of Rake delivered the sermon.
 After the night service the visi- tors were entertained by the Salva- tion Army of Hoonah and refresh ments were served, with various men and women being called upon to cement the ties of friendship with appropriate remarks. Thus the traditional bonds between these three communities of Kake-Angoon- Hoonah were again stressed and the next morning saw the Prince ton Hall under way for the return journey. At Angoon a congregational session was held for election of church officers. Andrew Gambel again spoke and directed the eve ming service.
 Upon return to Rake, final stop of the missionary journeys, further business was conducted in a con- gregational meeting which followed the evening services.

 After a return to Juneau, with the vessel serviced and refuelled, Skip per Prouty again alvigated the vessel to Hoonah last Saturday for a return weekend of service and song. In this instance those aboard included the Rev. Walter A. Sobo- eff, pastor, and the choir of Ju- neau's emorial Presbyterian church.

NOTED ENGINEE PREFERS kLASKAT0
 SOUTH AMERICA

After conferring with Acting Gov srnor Lew M Williams and officials of the US. Forest Service and Bu- reau of Mines, John T. Howell is more than ever convinced that his future lies in Alaska. The coopera- tive attitude of these and other officials is partly to be credited. the visitor said today.
 Howell, who made his first trip to Juneau in 1888, is on a quick trip to the Territory from Bogota, Colombia, regarding his Alaska in- vestments. Visiting metropolitan areas in the states, both coming and going, Howell will be back at his work in South America just a month after his departure for the 14,000-mile trip.
 Out of Bogota, he is working on three big hydro-electric and irriga- ton projects as consulting engineer to the governments of Colombia, Venezuela and Chile. His firm is R. J. Tipton and Associates of Denver, Colo.
 Asked what place he calls home, Howell answered, Homer" It used to be Chicago. Roaming the world since his first trip here and later engineering work during World War II, Howell kept dreaming of Alaska, and resolved to live in the Territory. On this "look-see" trip, he is ex- cited about the industrial possibili- ties of Kachenlak Bay, as well as the future for agriculture in the Homer area.
 With his family, now living in Bogota, Howell expects to be back in Alaska to stay, after his work in Colombia is completed in few months.
 Howell is sold" on the "un- equalled possibilities of cheap hydro-electric power in Southeast Alaska" and he says, Wherever there is cheap power, industry will be attracted. With it's wonderful people and climate and it's natural resources, certainly am sold on the long-range future development of Alaska"
 Howell came from Central Amer ica to Alaska in 1947 from Central America, where he had built the $, 5,0000 0O0 Roosevelt Medical Center at Guatemala, to be cosulting en- gineer for the Alaska Railroad on it's rehabilitation program. During the war, he was a civilian consultant for the Army Engineers at Anchor age, and did military construction in the Aleutians.
 As an Army commission was slow in coming through, but a f;avy commission of lieutenant was not, Howell joined the Navy and was immediately sent on overseas duty. He participated in the Italian and Southern France invasion, and was with President Roosevelt and Churchill at the Yalta conference.
 Previously, he had been in the US. Engineers, on the third locks project of the Panama Canal.
 Juneau is as wonderful as ever,' . Howell said today at the Baranot Hotel. T hope to be back soon with my family-this time. to stay in Alaska"
