They will be in the MacKinnon Building on Front Street, and will also be used as headquarters for special Republican committe to investigate corruption in govern ment, she stated.

Truman Takes Responsibility

After the President had made the decision. he told his advisers that he himself would take full respon- sibility.
 T think know the Russians and how they operate better than any man." he told his military and diplomatic chiefs. I've been deal ing with them for five years. At the slightest sign of weakness they take advantage of you. They res pect firmness and firmness alone. We must show them that we mean business-that is the only way we

WE ARE ON THE ALERT

On the Pacific Coast and here in Alaska, armed forces are on the alert for any emergency that may arise out of the Korean
 Apparently Alaskans are not as jittery as those in the States according to various press dispatches from over the nation We in Alaska placing trust in our armed forces and measures, not perhaps made public, have been taken being taken for our protection.
 It is anyone's guess to the outcome of the Korean strife. President Truman says the situation
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-06-30
Russia's Real Goal Iran?

Bradley raised the important question of whether the Korean attack was a main Soviet blow, or merely a diversionary tactic aimed to attract our attention away from other areas. He warned that the main Russian punch might be at Iran, since Russia was badly in need of oil He also warned that Iran was weak and cautioned that we should not overcommit ourselves in Korea.
 Navy and Air Force officials re- ported that both their branches were strsng in the@North Pacific and ready for any emergency They were less cautious than Gen. eral Bradley.
 The most dramatic statement of the evening was made by Secre- tary Acheson. It was his plea which tipped the scales in the Presidents mind and caused Tru- man to make the momentous de- rision to intervene actively in Kor ca. Acheson, the man who has been polloried in the Senate for allegedly concealing Communists in the State Department told the group that if we let Korea down, we would suffer a crippling defeat in the eyes of the world.
 Our credit with the nations which had to worry about how far they can go to stop Communism and Russia will be nil, Acheson said Unless we make a firm stand in Korea, he emphasized, the Russ ians will continue with the con- quest of Indo-China, then take over Japan internally.
 Truman listened quietly, occas- ionally he asked question. After all had finished, he made a brief statement which can be summar- ized as follows:
 T think I understand pretty well what the Russians are trying to do. I've been through it all from PotSdam.
 If this is major Russian move. and the Soviet is committed to supply brains, men and supplies to win Korea, then this, gentlemen, may be the start of World War III
 T gather from what you have reported to me that this is not the case. Korea has no strategic value, except politically It has no oil. If the Communists lose it can be considered by Moscow merely civil war put down by American imperialistS.
 However, we cannot let Russia get away with this. We must exhaust all peaceful means through the United Nations to stop the at tack. We should get all possible arms aid there-fly it in. If the Koreans can set up a defense line, that will give us time to find out just what is behind the attack and how deeply Russia is committed"
 Note-the State Department be- lieyes mere arms aid won't help Korea; that she must ,laye U. S. troops

Where Are the People?
(The Minneapolis Starr


 A favorite picture subject for Soviet propaganda sheets in this country is the Moscow subway And it truly is an imposing looking thing (seen through Com munst cameras) with vaultng ceilings, grandiose murals, lavish lighting etc. But looking the umpteenth picture story of the subway the other day we suddenly became aware of startling fact-the photographs never show any people in those glittering underground vastnesses. Five pictures in the current Soviet Russia Today shows only 12 people in five different stations-and four or five of those looking like subway guards.
 Raising this question of the missing subway crowds, however is likely to subject to the treatment of 5he American tourist in Moscow who being shown about by patriotic Communist guide. In the subway the guide began his spiel.
 Look at the marvellous murals, showing Russias heroic history all for the honor and glory of the Soviet ctizen!"
 "Yes" said the American, duly impressed. But" peering up and down the empty cavern, where are the trains?"
 And look at this marvellous stone floor made of materials from all over great nation all for the glory and honor of the Soviet ctizen!'
 Indeed replied the American, but what about the trains?"
 And so it went with the Ame.ican asking re- peatedly and with rising curiosity, Where are the trains?"
 Finally halting in midflight of glorious Soviet oratory and turning on his capitalist tormentor with rienteoGs Communist wrath the guide burst forth Yes and what about the lynchings in your southern States!"

Argue Over Announcement

The President slept on the mo-
 mentous problem as he usually
 does before making a difficult de-
 cision and it was not until the
 next day, Monday, that he decided
 to send the 7th Fleet and U. $.
 Air Forces into Korea.
 After placing General MacArthur
 in command, a good part of Mon-
 day night was taken up with an
 argument carried on by teletype
 across the Pacific as to whether , the White House or MacArthur should make the historic announce i ment.
 , Macarthur himself wanted to an- nounce to the world that he had assumed command of U. s. Navy l and Air Forces and that they were already .en route to Korea. .,. However, the President wanted to make it clear that the decision ! was his, and was insistant that 1 Macarthur hold back his amour 1 cement.
 Significantly, Senator Taft told a closed-door meeting of the Re- publican Senate caucus on that same Monday, T don't want to be stampeded into war Military men advised the Pres | ident that U. s. Air and Naval forces were far superior to Russ ians in the North Pacific area, though our ground forces were in- | ferior. That is why no ground 1 forces will be landed in Korea. They also advised that there were I suspicious Russian troop move 1 ments near the Yugoslav border l and that the Korean attack might be the beginning of a general Sov- jet campaign in various parts of | the world.
 Those who watched the emergen- I cy cabinet session compared it to I another historic invasion in Sep tember 1881, when the Jap war lords invaded Manchuria. At that time the Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson, did his best to get the l United States and the League of Nations to act. But President Hoover, cautious and worried, held back.
 ! Stimson is still of the opinion that if the United States had then moved vigorously, the Japs would have backed down. Thus. a great, bloody, eventual war in the Far East might have been averted. Observers also remember another
 historic crisis in March 1886 when Hitler marched into the Rl;ir, and when the French debated all day as to whether they should fight back. The French cabinet wanted to resist, but the French chief of staff said no. At that time many diplomats felt that had France acted dec.s- ively Hitler's swaggering march and eventual war would have been stopped cold. Their opinion was confirmed after V-E Day when captured German documents show
 ed that Hitlers troops were given a double set of orders when they
 invaded the Ruhr. One order was
 to march. The second order was
 to retreat in case the French re-
 sisted.
 Some observers believe the Russ
 ian-inSpired drive into Korea like !
 wise was probing operation, ] aimed to test out American nerve, with a second set of orders in the | pockets of Korean Communist com- m a n 1prc
