What we are doing is getting
ready for war;" the Senator said
Russia is doing the same thing,
but if we get ready we might be
able to prevent it. If we had not
done what we have. we would have
been in war long before now. Aid
to Europe, the North Atlantic
military pact and other moves
have the Russian leaders on their
ear"
Military leaders long have
pointed out that Alaskan defenses
were inadequate. The Joint Chiefs
of Staff. after a recent inspec-
ton, made this point and Gen.
Eisenhower put his finger on this
weak spot in his testimony.
One of the principal needs in
Alaska is adequate housing. The
armed forces have had to with
draw some troops during the win
ter months because of poor
quarters.
The radar network has been
started with a $50 million allot-
ment from Air Force funds and
Congress has been asked to ap-
propriate a like sum for this pur-
pose during the next fiscal year.
Air Force Secretary Symington
and air generals told the House
Appropriations Committee thai
President Truman's suggestion
that $l3 billion be spent for avia-
ton procurement would not keep
the 48-group modern and, in fact,
it would "deteriorate" under the
program.
The Navy, under Admiral For
rest P. Sherman, Chief of Naval
Operations, has shown renewed
interest in anti-submarine war
fare and the funds for this ac-
tivity already have been stepped
up 200 per cent.
Senator Thomas said Gen.
Eisenhower also noted the need
for keen attention to intelligence
and industrial mobilization plans.

Miss Joan Russell, 20-year-old
dark-haired student at the Wash

Almost 600 persons, represent

green evening dress, she stepped
joyfully before the microphone,
and dutifully accepted kisses on

times, to accommodate all the
photographers.

STAR WITH DALEY
AT 10Th CENTURY

The Broadway to Hollywood
change has been made by many
talented actors in recent years. but
rarely with the aplomb demonstra-
ted by Academy Award winning
Celeste Holm.
The former star of "Bloomer Girl
and Oklahoma" needed only three
pictures to win the coveted award,
and has run the Hollywood gamut
from musicals to serious drama with
less than two years in the film
capital.
Celeste is back in the field she
likes best, comedies. with her star
ring role opposite Dan Daley in
Chicken Every Sunday" the film
version of Rosemary Taylor's best
selling novel which opens tonight
at the Gross goth Century Theatre.
But that's the way it has been
all along for the talented, slender,
ash-blonde beauty. Her father is the
Manhattan head Of Lloyds of Lon
don; her mother has authored a
half dozen books and is painter Of
note. Celeste has always had a
purse chucked full of mad-money
and as a result she could pretty
well choose the things she wanted
to do.
