WE'VE NEXT T0N0THING':
 GOVERNOR
Need Radar Screen. More Troops, Gruening Says
 US. Rule Unsuccessful

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-R- Alaska could be captured tomorrow by one or two Russian parachute ! divisions coming across the Boring Strait. in the opinion of Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska.
 From those Alaskan bases. once captured, any part of the United States would be vulnerable to air attack, Gruening told House Ap- propriation subcommittee hearing. This committees report, re- leased last night, shows he told the members that the total US. mili- tary force in that strategically im- portant northern outpost is 7.500 men,
 This, Gruening described as next to nothing"
 He recalled that during the last war the Japs got and kept a toe hold for year in the Aleutian Islands. He maintained that once the Russians occupied Alaska, it would be very difficult to get them out.
 He said it was hard for people in Alaska to understand why Congress would appropriate a total of ST. 00,000,000 in economic and military aid to halt Communism in Europe yet give but $96,000,O0O tor Alaska.
 Radar and Housing
 He said Alaska has asked, as an absolute minimum" $l37, ,000,0 ,00O which would not make that Terri tory impregnable, but merely would start a construction of radar screen and house limited number of troops.
 Gruening said he had no quarre! with the economic and military aid programs to Europe.
 We may head off @ third World War thereby" he said.
 we appear to have. held the Rus sians at the line which they reached when they took over Czechoslovakia, or at least thus far we have stopped them.
 But while that has been going on they have taken all of China. They have taken an area many, many times as vast in extent and a population many times as numer- ous, as what we prevented their talk ing in Europe,' he said.
 Back Door Open
 Tt seems unthinkable to us that we would double-bar the front door and leave the back door ajar, as almost an invitation to come in,' he continued.
 Gruening said the picture was dramatized for AlaSkanS when they learned it was proposed to transfer production from the Boeing Air craft plant in Seattle to Wichita Kans.
 He said the Air Force, replying to questions, said it considered the North West area vulnerable to air attack from Siberia.
 Gruening said further question ing developed that the Air Force expected these Russian planes would fly over Alaska enroute to Puget Sound.
 But they could not fly over Alaska if that Territory had a radar screen to warn of the Rus sians' coming and interceptof planes to go up and shoot them down." the Governor sad.
 If there is going to be another Pearl Harbor, it will be in Alaska and it could come any time now, he said.
 Gruening also urged economic development of Alaska.
 "The 82 years of Alaska rule under the United States has no' heen a s,1ccess so far" he said.

 Canadian Press staff writer.
 tEd. NOre: KGDert Espe, rauio operator attached to the Sixth Radar Unit of the US. Air Force at Elmendorf Field, Anchorage. Alaska, is the husband of Mrs. Joyce Espe, 23, missing with their 23-months old son, Victor, and 42 other per sons on the US C-34 transport somewhere in the Yuk0n.)
 WHITEHORSE, VT, Jan. 30-IR I've gone through the mysteries and have cried myself silly. l be- lieve that due to the fact condi- tions in the area where the plane was last reported were good and that it was daylight last Thursday when it disappeared, the plane could have made normal, ditch ing procedure landing in some clear spot. If it aid I'm sure my wife and little son are still alive.
 My wife was seven months preg- nant and because her health was not good in the Alaskan climate she was going to visit MT. and Mrs. James Vagneour in Rifle. Colo, and have the baby there.
 She was scheduled to take an- other plane out of Anchorage. But it was to have left three hours later than the one she finally boarded, which was making a direct run to Great Falls, Mont.
 Delay at Start
 was at the field to see her and Victor off. But after a run down the field the plane failed to take off because of the failure of a feathering motor in one of the pro- pellers, very minor thing. That caused three hour delay.
 The plane crew had fitted all the passengers with parachutes. My last words to Joycie were: If you have to jump. give the baby to Sgt. Roy
