ed by Gruening for Re-
election 10 Congress

sibility of joint U.s. Canada &C.
onomic survey of a proposed rail
link between Seattle and Alaska

by Sen. Warren G. M. Magnuson
D-WashD.
The Washington Senator said he
had learned from Washington, d. C.
that the idea for the survey will
be presented to the Canadian cab
met shortly. The study will deter
mine the amount of tonnage which
might be moved over the line and
possible development along the
route.
Interest in the rail link has in
creased in recent months with the
outbreak of the Korean situation.
The proposed line would go north
through British Columbia, extend
ing from the terminus of the Pacific
Great Eastern at Prince George.
In the windup of his election
campaign yesterday. Magnuson also
quoted Alaska Gov. Ernest Gruen-
ing as urging his reelection.
TIL Democratic incumbent said
he had received a communication
from Gruening that contained this
praise:
"Alaskans have to depend large
ly on others for help because Alask-
ans have no vote in Congress. . :.

for the people Of Alaska. He has
made an enduring contribution to
Alaska's progress and the nations
security"
Gruening, too, is a Democrat.

STASSEN TO MOSCOW

Senator Hubert Humphrey OF
Minnesota was campaigning in that
state shortly after his fellow Min
nesotan Harold Stassen had pro-
posed that he go to Moscow tc
confer with Stain. With Hum

CONGRESSMAN John Blatnik, wht
asked:
Il wonder what would happen
Hubert, if you or l wrote a letter
to Stain suggesting that we come
to Moscow for conference. Iht
press would go wild denounclng us
But it's all right if Stassen does
it."
"They'd even go wild if Secre-
tary Acheson or President Truman
did it," concluded Humphrey.
