ALASKA AB0UND5
 IN RE50URCE5, E
 PLEA BY BARTLETT

WASHINGTON, March 15-tR- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska says Alaska has countless resources that can be developed under statehood to make it economically secure.
 Recalling the emphasis on AL sska's location in the House debate that preceded passage of the bill to make the Territory state Bartlett said military considera- tions alone do not make Alaska i'm portant to the United States.
 of equal importance are oul vast expanses of valuable undevel- oped natural resources" he con- tinued in a statement in the Con- gressional Record. Neither in ag- riculture nor industry have we be- gun to tap the wealth of resources that wait only to be put to produc- tive use"
 As an example, Bartlett urged development of the Territory's peat deposits, saying their utilization would be valuable to agriculture and commerce.
 He said other countries were us- ing peat and that Russia has found it not only a source of low cost fuel but of industrial chemicals building materials, insulation and fertilizers.
 In the United States, he added reat has been used for insulation and fertilizers. Research, he said probably will develop other uses.

Revised Siate Bill Is
 Only Work Sheet'' Says Committeeman

The revised version of Alaska $ statehood bill-which first saw the light of day in yesterdays Empire was described today in Washington by a Senate committee spokesman as confidential work sheet" and was not an official bill.
 The revised measure, which re- tained control of commercial fish cries with federal agencies, but granted all lands to the new state, is still being worked on by the Senate committee on interior and insular affairs, the spokesman said.
 Despite what the committeeman says, the revised bill bears the title:
 Committee print No. May 13, 195O."
 Amendments to bills, when dropped in the basket by Senators or House members, come up with the name of the man proposing them for consideration by the body as whole.
 The present bill, a copy of which is in possession of Alaska Senator Howard Lyng of Nome, bears no ones name, but from it's title shows that it comes from the committee itself.
 The revision caused some stir when the new fisheries clause was revealed-which supplants the orig inal clause providing for state con- trol over all fisheries, the same as in the United States at present.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service would, under it's provisions, retain control of the Territory's largest industry-a 1OO,OOO,OOO a year busi- ness.
 Also in the new version was a clause which granted all public lands to the new state. rather than the four sections proposed in the original. This was interpreted as meaning that all lands surveyed or otherwise-Would come under the new state legislatures control.
 Only exception was of federal re- serves and national forest lands.
 Speculation was rife here if the revised version was possibly sent out as a trial balloon" before the committee presented the new bill on the Senate floor.
 Senator Lyng, when advised the bill was termed a work sheet" said it bore the title "HR 331" and that it seemed fairly official to him.

ATOMIC WAR IN FEW YEARS
 IS PREDICTED
War Inevitable in 2l5 Yrs. Al Present Rate,
 Says Admiral
(By the Associated Press)

As a prelude to the nations ob- servance of it's first Armed Forces Day, Americas top military leaders called today for the nation to shore up it's defenses quickly for possible | air-atomic warfare.
 Warnings of possible global con- flict and the urgent need for pre- paredness were the keynotes of speeches in several major cities in advance of tomorrow's actual ob- servance.
 President Truman and Secretary of Defense Johnson will address banquet of military men in Wash ington tonight--a session expected to stress the theme of national strength through unity. Armed Forces Day itself will be an expression of unity. The Army, Navy and Air Force-as symbol of their unification in one defense department-will join in celebrating on single day. Heretofore they have had separate days" of their own.
 Parades, open house on ships and in shore installations. air flights, luncheons and banquets will form part of the big observance Sat- urday.
 The theme today was prepared ness in these speeches from coast to coast:
 Gen. Omar Bradley. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called in San Francisco for mobilization plans which can be put into effect at the first warning signal of, emergency" including standby emergency powers for the President.
 Bradley mentioned possible Rus sian atomic attack lin few years" Adm. Jonas H. Ingram, former Commander of the Atlantic Fleet, went farther than that. In speech at Indianapolis last night he said war is inevitable within two and one half years the way we are go- ing nok." He, too, spoke of steps to win respect" of Russia. Tn Washington. chairman w. Stuart Symington of the National Resources urged business leaders to start mobilizing against warfare which. he said. already has pro- gressed from spying and sabotage to the shooting" stage. In Detroit. Gen. Hoyt s. Vanden- berg, Air Force Chief of Staff, said the present Air Force is too weak to continue an all-out air war more than few months.

s "FI5H-F|NDER"
 SOON TO EXPLORE
 FOR ALASkATU
By RAWLOND EVANS, JR.

WASHINGTON, May 19 = R - The last word in experimental fish ing boats will leave Seattle in about two weeks to search out new tuna grounds in North Pacific waters.
 And if the brand new $225, ,OOO John N. Cobb" has the luck of some of it's predecessors, say com mercial fisheries experts in the De- partment of Interior, Southeast AlaSkans may find themselves an offseason industry.
 R. T. Whiteleather, assistant chief Of the commercial fisheries branch said in an interview that the new. 250-ton boat will be outfitted with every conceivable fish locating de- vice, including a bathythermagraph, which automatically records water temperatures at specific intervals all the way to the bottom, ano supersonic depth recorders, by which large schools of fish can be located at practically any depth.
 we are putting the latest scien- tific developments to work in locat- ing new fishing grounds and im- proving existing ones," Whiteleather said. Some day. he said, electronio fish-locating devices may revolu- tionize the industry.
 Scouting out the places where tuna and other fish can be caugh. and pin-p pointing them for develop ment by commercial operators is relatively new field of operations Whiteleather said. But it has been very successful in some areas" he added.
 In 1940, for instance, the govern ment's first fishery exploration in the Bering Sea was made.
 Before the war, production ot crab in that region was practically nothing" he said.
 (Whiteleather apparently forgets that Japanese trawlers had for years been bringing up crab and every thing else on the bottom in that area-long before the war. and be- fore the Fish and Wildlife Service woke up)
 This time the commercial fish, cries branch is going to be hunting for albacore tuna. Up to two years ago, Whiteleather said, little tuna was found north of the Columbia river. Then the Canadians located some off the west coast of British Columbia. Fisheries experts think there may be more tuna farther north.
 The Cobb will also be on the look out for deep-sea scallops and other bottom fish.
 The big commercial fishing com panies can't afford the time or the money to search for new fishing grounds" Whiteleather said. Tt is much too uncertain an operation.

Palmer Makes Site
 Legal Threat
Matdnuska Will Sue If Ter ritoridI Building Started
 Here, They Claim

PALMER, Alaska, May 19-tH- The Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce has voted to take legal action, if necessary, to block con- struction of a $660,GO0 territorial building in Juneau.
 Funds for the building were re- gently "unfrozen" by the Alaska Board of Administration. The building was authorized by the f945 legislature.
 The Matanuska Chamber cites recommendation by the House of Representative that the building should be erected North of the Gulf of Alaska. It protests recent ,oard approval of payment of s60,000 for purchase of a. site in Juneau, especially in view of free site being available here.
 The Chamber called the board action "unexplainable extrava- yance," in a wire sent to Governor GrueMng. The governor heads the board.
 Better still, the Chamber con- 5ends, would be plan to withhold action on the building until a site can be determined by vote of the people.
 The Chamber served notice it will take legal action if present construction plans are pursued.
 The building site was an issue of controversy in the House during the 1949 session, with the delega- tion from the ropulous third div ision drumming consistently for the Matanuska proposal.

TR0LLER5 APPOINTED
 TO CHECK SCALES USED
 BY 5E ALASkA BUYERS

Ten representatives of the United Trollers of Alaska, Local 100, have been appointed deputy Territorial inspectors of weights and measures by Henry Roden. Territorial trea- surer and ex-officio inspector ot weights and measures.
 This was announced today by Andy Barlow, executive secretary ot the UTA local. who said the newly appointed deputy inspectors will check the accuracy of the scales used by fish buyers purchasing troll caught salmon throughout South east Alaska.
 The fisherman-inspectors will not receive pay for their work.
 Since 1947, members of the union have been deputized to act as in- spectors of weights and measures in the. absence of full-time Terri torial specialists in that work.
 Its possible that in the past troll lerS have lost thOuSanQS or QOllarS because of inaccurate scales Bar low said.
 Already several of the trollers authorized to inspect weighing de- vices have left for the fishing grounds, and the others will soon depart. All will log their findings.
 The men appointed were: Elmer Lindstrom and o. G. Nolde of Ju- neau; R. J. Bingham and Marvin Kinberg of Sitka Paul Binkley and Jerry Nielsen of Wrangell; Ray Evensen and Richard w. Dorman of Ketchikan; and August Starkloft and John Huff of Craig.

ESKIMO OUT!
 UNION ASKS
 FEDERAL AID

SEATTLE, May 19 = R The United States Mediation and Con- ciliation Service was asked today to step into the Alaska Salmon In dustry labor dispute, as new con- troversy developed over representa- ton, of resident cannery workers.
 Joseph Jurich, President of the International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America (CIO) said he asked Albin L. Peterson, Federal Conciliator, to assist in negotiating a contract for Local 46 of his union. The local has been repre- scented here by Joe Nashoalook, Eskimo Secretary Treasurer.
 Whether Jurich and Nashoalook could continue to negotiate for Local 46 was thrown in the air last night, with arrival of wire from Dillingham;, signed by four men claiming to be a new negotiating committee.
 Jurich confirmed that the wire stated Nashoalook was to return to Alaska and that international of ficers of the IFAWA no longer represented the union.
 Jurich asserted, however, that the new committee 'is assuming the powers of the executive board and assuming to represent the member ship of the local, powers the com mittee does not possess" He said only nine percent of Local 46's membership is at Dillingham;.
 The Alaska Salmon Industry, employer group, issued statement saying i've will recognize any group we are certain represents majority of the workers"
 The statement said the industry was informed that the executive board of Local 46 had taken away all negotiating power from Nashoa- look and Jurich. It declared the lat ter men previously stalemated ne- gotiations by demanding we re- cognize Local 7-C, International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union."
 Naturally, in view of the execu- tive boards actions" the Industry statement said, i've cannot negoti- ate contracts with either group Chat of Nashoalook, or the new committee). One of our staff IS at Anchorage awaiting a clarification." i"
 The Industry reported some $l,- 100000 in cannery supplies for Alaska now are tied up here, and the movement of S10,000,0 ,0O0 in sup plies for later shipment is threat ened.
 Meantime, V. R. Farrell, admin istrative assistant in the Alaska Ma tive Service here, said he had been requested by his Juneau office to investigate whether Nashoalook was being held against his will. Farrell said his inquiry indicated the Es- kimo has been "at liberty to come and go" as he saw fit.

 Navy, Marines

Timing their arrival a day in ad- vance, to be sure of participating in tomorrow's big Armed Forces Day celebration, some 100 visitors were converging on Juneau today.
 By mid-day, six large ships were in the air coming from the west ward, and it was believed here that the jet fighter planes assigned tc Juneau would stop at Whitehorse. then make a taking arrival here tomorrow.
 Mai. Gen. Frank A. Armstrong, Jr., commanding general of the Alaska Air Command was sched- uled to arrive in his B-17 at 2:50 pm, today from Elmendorf Air Base, Anchorage.
 Also with him were three BITS and a C-54 Aboard the C-54 were 19 Infantrymen from Fort Richard son.
 Enroute from the Naval Air Base at Kodiak were a Navy P-2-V3 carrying a detachment of 35 Ma rines and a Navy photographer. A C-54 was on the way, too. They were due at pm.
 Counting the six others aboard General Armstrong's aircraft, the g men in flight crews of the BITS, the fighter and C-54 crews and the two military attachments, It. Col J. D. Alexander, Armed Forces Day chairman, figured there would be an influx of from 100 to no visitors.

OREGON VOTERS GO TO POLLS, PRIMARY
(By Associated Press)

The Oregon primary election is today. And for the first time. Ore- gon Democrats go to the polls with a numerical superiority.
 The Republicans, who control the entire Congressional slate, plus the Governors office, are sticking by incumbents-with one notable ex- ception. That exception is in the race for US. Senator, where the Liberal Republican incumbent, Wayne L. Morse, is bucking party opposition.
 The party conservatives have given generous backing to Dave Hoover, a political unknown. But Morse is figured to win, with votes to spare.
