1T is completely obvious that
Secretary Acheson and the State
Department under his leadership
have lost the confidence of the
Congress and the American peo-
pie and cannot regain it. dn

American people that whatever

No Ideas on Replacement.
Recognizing this fact, we
earnestly insist for the good of our
country that Mr.. Acheson be re-
placed as Secretary of State, that
there be thorough housekeeping
in the State Department and
changes in personnel and policies
responsible for this lack of conf
dence. In saying this we admit
that we haven't the slightest idea
Of where President Truman can
find, as a replacement. a man
who can stand up to the treat
ment we have given Mr.. Acheson.
And we must not conceal our
readiness, for the good of the
country to subject any successor
to the same treatment. We have
no candidates of our own for the
office. Some Of us like John Fos-
ter Dulles, but Mr.. Dulles is a
Republican, and even though he
thinks much like Mr.. Acheson,
we'd prefer a Democrat to work
on. That also rules out Chang

There is much more between
the lines of the solemn resolu-
tions. but no room for it here.
Stated simply, these particular
Republicans are against appease-
ment. Nothing the President
could do would appease them.

These treaties, of course, have
been reduced to scraps of paper.
The organization of an East Ger
man police" force of 10000 men
and equipped with heavy weapons
and aircraft by Moscow annulled
the two treaties. But that does
not worry the Kremlin, which al
ways tries to back its aggressive
actions by legalistic reasoning.
The Russian accusation that
the United States was using Jap
anese soldiers in Korea was not
mere propaganda. 1t paved the
way Realistically for bringing
into force the Korean Chinese
Soviet defense treaty, signed in
Moscow last February, and thus
permitting Chinese-and eventu-

against the United Nations forces.

AIR DEFENSE5 OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST ARE TO BE TESTED
(By the Associated Press)

The air defenses of the North western states will be tested next week by high-flying bombers.
 The maneuvers will involve American air, ground and naval units and the Canadian ,Airforce. The exercises are scheduled for June 18th to 24th, and will be held in Washington, the northern parts of Oregon and Idaho, and in west ern Montana.
 The plans call for BPS, B-5O and 3-36 units of the Strategic Air Com nand to fly into the area surround ing the Eanford, Wash, atomic plant They'll fly in from all direc- tions.
 In an attempt to intercept them fighters and interceptors will take off from five air force bases and stations. The Navy, meanwhile, will send radar picket vessels out to sea to give early warning of bomb CTS that might approach from the Pacific. Army anti-aircraft units will be manned throughout the area, working with the radar net work directed by the Air Force.
 Civilian ground observers will not be included in the tests because all planes in the attacking bomber force will fly above 10000 feet.

"MACk" PUTS FEEI ASHORE iN JUNEAU; GOING FISHING SOON

i D. B. Mack" Mercado was grim ming when he arrived home in Ju- neau yesterday on his new feet.
 The courageous Juneau fisher man, whose limbs were amputated last December after he had been rescued following a five-day vigil in a lonely, windowless and unheated cabin on Boat Harbor in Lynn Canal.
 He had a little difficulty getting out of the plane which brought him from Mount Edgecumbe hospital where he has been since early Janu- ary but he managed to climb over the high step without aid to plant his new feet on Juneau territory.
 Andy Barlow, executive secretary of the United Trollers of Alaska, the organization which campaigned early this year to put Mack bac., on his feet was there to help
 But Mercade said, That's OK. l can make it."
 Then "Mack'sv wife and daugh- ter, II, arrived and Mercado grin ned again and hugged them.
 B. H. Jack" Manery, the Juneau fisherman who found eight inches of the trolling poles on Mercado's boat, Helen M, sticking up from waters of St. James Bay in De- cember and found Mercado four days later, came down the ramp with his hand out.
 'Hiya, Mack" he said. shaking his hand How are they?"
 Well, got blisters on the stunps learning to use them" Mercado an- swered. T had to learn to walk be- fore they'd let me go."
 Going fishing?" Manery asked.
 I'm a little wobbly, but Tn ready to go," Mercado answered. T hear the price of kings las dropped"
 Mercado will find his boat ready to go. Juneau fishermen, sparFed by a UTA committee headed by Manery and Carl Weidman, re- caulked it and repaired 1t and painted in preparation for Mer- cado's return.
 The Juneau Marine Company pro- vided shop space and expert super vision, and the R. w. Bowling Company repaired the boats engine and the outboard motor which was on the skiff at the stern of the Helen M when it sank in the stormy waters of St. James Bay.
 Andy Haffner, 59-year-old Ju- neau man, lost his life when the trolling boat sank.

nhlNES HIGHWAY RECIPROCAL USE
 10 BE DISCUSSED

Walter A. Wardrop, secretary treasurer of Yukon Territory, was expected to visit Acting Gov. Lew M. Williams this afternoon to talk over possibilities of reciprocal trucking arrangement between Caa- adian and American truckers using the Haines Highway
 several American firms alrea a>J use the Alaska Highway from It's beginning at the Montana boroer to the Alaska boundary without carrying a Canadian license on their trucks.
 Williams believed Wardrop wish ed to talk over possibilities of ar ranging a somewhat similar agree ment on the Haines road, so that Canadians may truck into Haines without taking out an Alaska lc- ense.
 The international agreement las worked out well, in the face of various states requiring all truck ing firms that pass over their boundaries to carry a license of their district For example, finn trucking between Seattle and San Francisco must carry Washington Oregon and California license plates. This has not been required of American firms trucking throug gh Canada.
 Williams said he understood the Haines cut-off road is looming large in the eyes of officials of Yukon Territory, and they are attempting to devise means to make it an all-year highway. Their enthus- iasm was prompted by the success of the Alaska Road Commission in keeping the Richardson High way open all last winter, north of Valdez.
 The problem involving the Haines road, however, is a matter for not only Yukon Territory, but aMo British Columbia, through which the road travels.
 This poses the problem Of ap- propriations and funds. It is un- derstood that British Columbia hasn't been too fond of the idea of putting money into the Haines road to keep it open all year be- cause it is in desolate area of the province, and no return would ee realized from money put in the highway. such as would come back to the Yukon.

 Experts agree that consumer taxes restrain trade" he said.
 Sales taxes are a form of con- sumer tax.
