 Seward can by no stretch of the imagination be called town without a voice. We can certain ly talk enough among ourselves, on the streets, in the bars, in clubs and lodges, in our homes, and wherever two people get to- gether, one can always hear talk about what is wrong with Sew ard. THEY should do this, why didn't THEY do the other thing? Who in the world are THEY? Now is the time to do our talking OUTSIDE of Seward, and the only way to do it is by mail.
 Although we were told when MT. Tony Schwamm was in Seward that it would not be necessary to write concerning the airport, because it was a efinite commitment, Mayor Gene Lanier discovered when he was in Anchorage last week that 1 other communities of the seven who had also been promised airports had written reams of letters, and everyone knows that Seward just got under the line on that deal.
 Now, if we are to get our sewer project this year, we must write, and write, and write! We know that cesspools are expen- sive to build. We know that many yards have no more space in which to put cesspool when the present one is filled. We know that the drinking water flowing through wooden pipes in the neighborhood of three or four hundred cesspools cannot but be dangerous to health. You can think of plenty other req sons why we should have safe sewer disposal system. The cost is relatively little, amounting to about $1O5 per lot, to be paid over a period of ten years.
 We have been informed that the Seward project is filed for the 1851 appropriations (which have not yet been granted by Congress.) We also have the certain feeling that if enough pressure is brought by the resi- dents of Seward, that this pro- ject will be reconsidered and given a 1850 priority. l The office of GSA has had no indication that it is the PEOPLE of Seward who want this sewer system. It cannot have it unless the people indicate their ap- proval by writing.
 So, let's get busy, Folks, write requesting construction tn S year. Urge your friends and neighbors to get on the ball and prove to the Territorial admin istration that Seward must not be put off until the last on everything that comes up.
 Believe me, your personal let ters on every question DO count for a great deal. They are at- tached to the papers concerned and carry the greatest weight, if for no other reason, because every letter represents a vote. | The address for this letter is containd in an article on page 1 of this issue of the Record.

there seemed to be clear-cut need.
The dairy yesterday made 2ll
home deliveries.
The biggest headache to home
deliveries. the official said. is that
each costs the dairy between 10
and 80 cents. "It's almost like
hiring a cab to make the de-
liveries." he said.
Hardly any prescriptions were
written for home deliveries today
by doctors, police reported. BY
noon today, police had forwarded
about 1850 of the certificates to
dairies since the program started
Meanwhile, over the counter
sales picked up steadily today,
with waiting lines reported at most
of the dairies. Chestnut Farms
expects to sell about 5000 quarts
today, with 6,700 dispensed yes
terday. About $500 quarts were
sold at Embassy.
The dairieS will be set up for
over-the-counte business tomor-

Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia commented that he re-
garded a bill written jointly by
the Foreign Relations and Armed
Services Committees as much
more satisfactory than the State
Departments original draft.
The measure, approved by the
COMMITTEES yesterday, limits Pres
ident Truman's power to furnish
military supplies to any nation
whose help he regarded as vital to
the security of the United States.
At the committees hearings Sen
ator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan had complained that it
would allow the Chief Executive
far too broad powers and give
him authority to step into civil
wars.
Senator Lucas said he would
call up the military assistance
bill as soon as the Senate acts
on extension Of the draft act.
This trend of events brought
from Chairman Tydings of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee the comment that all vital
defense legislation should be
through Congress by July 81 in
event the lawmakers wished to
adjourn then.
Yesterday the Senate whipped
through without a single opposi-
ton vote measures extending the
Governments synthetic rubber
program two years beyond June
80, setting up a three-year $135
million armory construction pro-
gram for the National Guard and
reserves, and making available
$35 million for expanding Central
American production of Manila
fiber so that such supplies would
be available in an emergency.
They now go to the House.

Coordination Sought.
MIR. Acheson said both he and
the President had been keenly
aware Of the need for co-ordinat-
ing the work of Government de-
partments, particularly in the field
Of foreign affairs.
In recent years Mr.. Truman has
had two key agencies designed te
serve this purpose in part.
These are the National Advisory
Council for Foreign Financial
Policy, which has been mainly
concerned with making foreign
loans and grants and the National
Security Council, which co-ordi-
mates the work Of the Defense and
State Departments.
Mr.. Acheson and Mr.. Truman
repeatedly have felt that these
agencies were not enough.
When MIR. Hartman returned
here recently from Paris, where he

Forrestal had asked Mr.. Varda-
man to place the matter before
the President.
Still unexplained is whether the
Justice Department received a call
on May 81 from any source, a
White House aide or otherwise,
asking that the matter be held in
allegiance until the San Francisco
conference was concluded.
In his diary Mr.. Forrestal made
no reference to the San Francisco
conference. expressing only the
view that arrests at that time
might embarrass President Tru-
man in his current conversations
with the Russians.
Clark Testimony Suggested.
There have been some reports
that Mr.. Forrestal, concerned at
the time about trusteeship of Pa
ciflc islands seized from the Jap
anese, may also have called Mr..
Clark direct.
In view of Mr.. Vardaman's
adamant position that he never
called any, one about the case.
there have been some suggestions
that Mr.. Clark be asked to give
his recollections on the incident.
However, there has been no indi-
cation the committee would do
that since it has been informed, it
is said. that the Supreme Court
justice has no recollections about
the matter.
Service to Be Questioned.
Meanwhile, there were these
other developments bearing on the
investigation:
1. The Tydings committee an
nounced that Mr.. Service would be
questioned next Thursday at 1920
am. in a closed hearing about his
connections with the case and the
charges of Senator Mccarthy that
the State Department official was
pro- Communist"
2. Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, a committee men,
ber, suggested that Deputy Under
secretary of State John Peurifoy
be called for questioning. He
made the suggestion after Senator
Mccarthy charged that Mr.. Peuri-
foy offered legal aid and loyalty
clearance to Larsen in return for
testimony favorable to Mr.. Service
"a charge hotly denied by both
Mr.. Service and Larsen.

Wives OF Pittsburgh
Milk Strikers 10 Talk
With Producers Today
By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, June IT,
Wives Of a number Of striking
milk truck drivers are going to
try to do something about the
strike today.
An official Of the Greater Pitts
burgh Milk Dealers Association

wife of one of the $3.50 strikers
yesterday. She said she and sew
eral other wives wanted to talk
things over with industry leaders.

sounds like new one in labor
negotiations and that he and
other industry leaders will meet
with the women today to see what
can be done.
Later today industry leaders
will confer with representatives
Of the striking union, the AFL
Milk and Ice Cream Drivers,
Statesmen and Dairy Employees,
Local 205.
The nine-day-old strike has
choked off all but emergency milk
deliveries in Pittsburgh and seven
adjoining counties.
One industry spokesman was
pessimistic as the second of yes
terday's negotiating sessions broke
up last night.
1--WE don't seem to be any closer
to agreement than we were when
the strike started" he said. "The
only hopeful thing is that we're
continuing to negotiate"
Deadlocked issues include a
demand for a 40-hour week with
48-hour pay for inside workers.
Drivers are asking a daily mini
