President Truman's assertion that Russia is preparing for war stepped up congressional efforts today to get this nations defenses ready for any crisis.
 At the same time, however, two Republican senators suggested that Mr. Truman's blunt talk about Soviet intentions abroad may be aimed in part at minimiz- ing public attention to the com munists-in- government charges of Senator Mccarthy R-Wis) and others.
 COP senators Wherry of Neb- raska and Brewster of Maine said they don't disagree with the pres Louis that the Soviets "have ident's Saturday statement in St. preached peace--but devoted their energies to fomenting aggression and preparing for war"
 But Wherry, the Senate .Repub- lican leader, noted that the presi- dent had nothing to say about subversive activity at home.
 ''It is just as important to clean out the communists in our gov ernment as it is to stop their ex- pansion abroad, "Wherry declared.
 Brewster said it seems to him Mir. Truman has been dwelling on communist threats in the foreign field almost to the exclusion of any similar dangers at home.

WASHINGTON, (P) - A

WASHINGTON, (P) - Alaska road commission barricades are going to have more meaning for two Anchorage men hereafter.
 The pair, Carl E. Libbey and John McClary, planned to motor to their fishing stream at Willow although the willow road is not yet open.
 To enter the Willow pass road they removed the road block and drove on. Their car stalled in a ditch on the mountain-side. They borrowed an ARC road grader. The grader went in the ditch.
 US. Commissioner May Carter fined Libbey $50 for remo"ing the road balricade, and McClary paid an equal amount for driving Q grader without the owners per- mission.
 After payment of the fines. the fishing party continued on its way to Willow-by train

LONDON, (P)-Former foreign secretary Anthony Eden won a divorce decree last week by testi- flying that his attractive brunette wife deserted him in 1947 to live in America.
 Eden, whose political ambitions as deputy Conservative leader may be jeopardized by divorce in strait-laced Britain, was granted a decree in a five-minute hearing before justice Francis Hodson.

DON'T OVEREMPHASIZE PEACE

Secretary Of State Dean AcheSOn returning to the United States after attending conference of the Big Three Foreign Ministers in London, expresses the opn ion that the free nations of the West are making pro- gres5 along the road leading to the universal goal of peace. He points out that the free world is strong boh materially and spiritually" and that is gaining lin military strength"
 Undoubtedly, the statement of the Secretary of State is encouraging and, we believe it is based upon rect appraisal of the factua situation Nevertheless sometimes think that public officials lay too much emphasis upon the road leading toward" peace While it natural perhaps, for them to make clear their de- termination to avoid another world war, the emphasis should be placed think upon the ability of the free world to defend itself.
 Wouldn't it make some Americans look silly if it turns out that the Russians do their big talking to ceal the weakness of the Communist regime?

There are some things should

Stumbling blocks must conquer

Not one incident leave behind.
Let their lesson stay with me
To form a perpetual memory
