Secretary of State AChesOn told Congress today that any cut in the $45,O00,00O asked for President Truman's Point Four" program would have unfortunate results on efforts to check communism in Asia.
 Tt would undoubtedly be inter- preted by the peoples of the free countries of Asia, the Middle East and other underdeVeloped areas as indicating a lack of interest in a program upon which they have been putting very great hopes" he said.
 AcheSOn went before the Senate foreign relations committee to ar que for the proposed program of American technical aid to raise i production methods and living standards in backward areas of the world The plan got the name Point Four" from President Tru- mans listing of it in his inaugural address last year.
 The Senate group is considering the proposal at a time when Ache son is reported to be trying to draw Great Britain and France into a united front against the spread of communism in Asia.
 Acheson told the Senators that the $45,OOO,OOO figure is a careful estimate of what is needed for the l2 months beginning July l. 1 Achcson and rowing ambasSa- dor Philip C. Jessup gave a confi- dential report to the Senate for eign relations committee on the ! Asian trouble center yesterday.
 At a recent British Common wealth foreign ministers confer enCe at Colombo, Ceylon, British countries worked out a similar aid program and urged American SUD- port.
 l The Truman adminiStratiO n seeking to fit Point Four pro- 1 gram into its overall ant-com- munist global plan, has asked Congress for S45.OOO,OOO to get the ball rolling. Thus far the Congress has shown no great enthusiasm for the idea
 Britain's WObbly Labor govern ment has been defeated on a minor issue in the House of Com mons.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:

Lear EulLOE.
On the evening of May "a,
the fishermen at Cordova and
the Gamers came to a seasons
agreement. The price agreed
upon at Cordova is 431 higher,
for pink salmon, than what
the Salmon Industry offers for
pink salmon here.
The price agreement at Cor
dova for dog salmon is 49%
higher than what is offered
at Kodiak. This in spite of
statistical proof that dogs and
pink salmon are slightly lar
ger fish at Kodiak than at
Cordova.
The fishermen and Gamers
at Cordova had previously a.
greed that if no price agree
ment were reached on pink
salmon that negotiations for
that fish would be resumed at
a later date. The Salmon In
dustry absolutely refuses to
consider such a split agree

The number of acquas by the jures the past
years, compared with the number of convictions om-
nous sign of the nefficiency of our juries.
The u S. commissioner marshal and local chief of police
have to the conclusion that they wasting their time
the taxpayers money and useess expanding their efforts
keep law and order in Kodiak.
On several occasions persons who sdmtted their crimes
have been acquitted because neghbor friend afraid
to or did not want to convict his neighbor.
The commissioner is handicapped by the lack of
attorney The Third Division does have enough funds
to provide prosecutor Kodiak thereby forcing the
missioner act judge and also assist the marshal pro-
scouting.
The result sickens and frghtens law abiding citizens
We do not deny any person the right of trial by jury
Such trial is guaranteed under constitution.
We do depore the increasing number of instances where
admitting their guilt freed after hearing before
panel of sympathetic friends.
Such record will encourage criminals of every type to
come to Kodiak to ply their trade.
Every who wants live peace and security should
write to the attorney general the and the delegate
and request that immediate action be taken provide funds
for prosecutor in Kodiak.
The cost OF getting jury hearing witnesses and paying
fees for the second trial of person whose guilt
cence the first could not agree much if more
han the cost of sending prosecutor from the district
attorneys office in Anchorage.
Out of nine tried in commissioners court before

We are treasuring three

here all the way from the
foreign port of New York

One is just a plain shipping
tag with our address on it, but
the other two are the kind
that makes us wonder where
people think Alaska is.
One is a Customs Declara-
ton, giving the value of the
package. and is printed in both
English and French and the
other, also in both languages,
is an International Parcel Post

taken. Crutcher has been
practicing on members of the

a "rogue's gallery" of por-
traits. -.

tty to meet defense needs 1t important also that
immediate steps be taken to hold down the demand
for civilian goods and for Government services not
essential for national defense. Such action serves
twofOld purpose 1t facilitates the transfer of some
of our resources from civilian defense production
and helps to prevent imitation.
first step in damping down the demand for
civilian goods is to sphOn off enough current in
come to meet the enlarged defense expenditures
In other words, must divert dollars from the
civilian spending stream to match the flow of mill
tary supplies from farms and factories Financ-
ing the defense program out of current income means
that the Treasury must obtain the funds from taxa
tiOn and the sale of Government securities to non
bank investors In view of the high level of income
and the large Federal debt it is especially important
to raise much Of the money possible by taxa
ton. second step in holding down the demand
for civilian goods is to restrict the of credit for
nOn-essential purposes. 1t is just important to
limit spending from future income as from current
income. Finally, every effort should be made to
discourage "fear buying" Hoarding of goods, whe-
ther in the pantry of the consumer, under the
counter of the retailer, in the warehouse Of the
wholesaler creates artificial scarcities, forces prices
up and results in a very unfair distribution of the
burden of our defense efforts
Our success in imposing voluntary restraint
should largely determine the steps the Government
will need to take. Our job as consumers and bus-
nessmen is clear. Industrial management should
cooperate fully to see that defense production is in
no way hampered by lack of men, materials, and
plant facilities. Some priOrities and allocations'
either voluntary or compulsory, will be necessary.
It will be necessary for consumers to do without
some goods which they could have otherwise. To
the extent that we use sefrestraint to accomplish
these tasks Government restraint will not be neces-
sary

The Korean Crisis And American Business

The magnitude Of the defense requirements gem
Grated by the Korean crisis is still indefinite but
the direction Of their impact on American business
is clear The President has already requested over
SO billion more for defense purposes In addition.
military aid of undetermined amount is to be
given friendly foreign countries.
This stepped-up defense program hits the Ameri-
can economy when it is already riding the crest of
boom. Construction is at an unprecedented level;
production in the heavy goods industries such as
steel and automobiles is at near an all-tme peak
and employment has surpassed the 1948 high A
peak level of consumer spending is being fed by
a record flow of personal incomes after taxes and
expanding credit The Federal Government is oper-
ating at a deficit, bank loans are nearly s4 billion
higher than at this time last year, the money supply
currency and bank deposits) is nearly S5 billion
above year ago. and depOstors are spending their
deposit dollars faster Infationary pressures had
already made their appearance and were pushing
prices up even before the outbreak of fighting in
Korea.
The immediate effect of the Korean crisis is
strongly infationary. It adds substantially to the
total demand for goods at time when industry is
unable to add corresponding amount to the total
supply. Defense production will generate more
income for workers and business firms but it will
not put any civilian goods into markets for
these incomes to buy. Unless equivalent amount
Of income is mopped up in some way more money
will be available to buy fewer goods AS a result,
much stronger infatiOnary pressures will tend to
push prices still higher. Panic buying of goods which
some fear may become scarce merely adds more
fuel to the fires of imitation.
The longer term outlook will be Influenced great
" by the steps we take to divert both productive
facilities and current income from the civilian sector
to the defense sector Men, materials, and plants must
be shifted from civilian production in sufficient guam
