EISENHOWER
 "GUE55" UPS ARMS BUDGET

WASHINGTON, March 30-tR-- Members of the House Armed Sery- ices Committee disclosed plans to- day to add about S647 100000 to next years defense budget.
 This development followed testi- mony by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower that a half billion dollars more-at a guess" could be used to strengthen this country's defenses.
 The House next week will begin consideration of bill which calls for $13,911 ,l27, 900 in cash and con tract authority for the armed forces in the 12 months starting July l.
 Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the Armed Services Committee an- nounced that when the bill comes up he will make a strong speech" pointing out the grave situation confronting the United States now that Russia has the atomic secret.
 Will Call For More
 He said he will call upon the House Appropriations Committee 70 sponsor amendments to strengthen this country's armaments. If that group won't do it, he said, he will The bulk of the additional funds proposed by Vinson would be used to strengthen the nations aerial might. with some set aside for pro- lection against an enemy attack from the air.
 Eisenhower told Senate Appro- priations subcommittee yesterday that US. defenses are not as strong as they might be. The Air Force was one arm whose needs he stressed. along with Alaskan defenses. anti submarine weapons and industrial mobilization.
 Eisenhower said he wanted the minimum of AS regular and Il or F Guard airgroups to be kept modern and a program in Alaska that in three years would get a good re inforced regiment up there"
 Gives Alaska Priority
 Referring back to the list of ad- justments the war leader would make in the proposed budget, Sena- tor Ferguson (R-Mich) asked him which items he would give priority i He replied that he would rate the Alaskan need, the number of air groups. and the anti-submarinc guard lon the same level"
 He added that he would put in- | telligence lower down on the list because you can't spend much money on it."
 Eisenhower said it is "clear mis- take" not provide adequate quar- ters and soldiers for each of the air | fields in Alaska.

WHERE, OH WHERE DO PINK SALMON
 GO TO LAY EGGS!

How close pink salmon come to home when they start upstream to spawn will be under survey start ing this week, as five-man re- search team of the Fish and Wild life Service leaves for Port Fred srick tomorrow from Juneau to sharpen up their fin n-clippers.
 George Richer. fisheries research biologist, is in charge of the group one of six who will station them selves at downstream weirs and traps to mark pink fry on their sea : ward journey.
 The service is concentrating ef- forts this year in Southeast Alaska on finding out what makes the pink salmon tick-last year preliminary survey was started, but manpower and funds were scattered on other surveys, so it didn't dig very deep.
 Opinion is that pinks come back close to where they were born, and go upstream perhaps next door to the old homestead. Sometimes they've been found a hundred miles way, however, and what the service wants to know, is this sort of thing accidental or are the pinks just full of wanderlust?
 Some fry will get one dorsal fin clipped, others will have another "rudder" knocked off, for identifi- cation purposes.

B. (. WATERSHEDS HOLD ALUMINUM'S
 FUTURE IN POWER
Aleoa's Holding Properly in Skdgwdy Brings Hopes
 of Wealth al Low Cost

NEW YORK, March 30-tH--U.S- industry can look forward to sub stantially increased supplies oi aluminium from huge new plants tapping Canada's British Columbia waterways for low cost power, the magazine Iron Age said today.
 Continued expansion of our aluminium market depends on the industry's ability to hold down pro- duction costs despite advancing labor rates and other charges. the national metalworking weekly said.
 ''The waterways of British Co., lumbia offer the outstanding prom ise of low cost water power in North America" it added. s,
 The publication said Aluminium Go. of Canada, after several years of power source investigations, has narrowed down it's choice of sites for new ingot plant to the Nec- hako- Nanika river system in the WeddSmuir Park section of British Columbia.
 Tn the same general area the publication said, "the Aluminium Go of America has acquired property at Skagway, Alaska, on tidewater, and at nearby Dyea, on which new reduction capacity may eventually be built
 Production in Alaska would not be subject to the US. import duty on aluminium.
 Such a plant, when built, would also be of large capacity to take advantage of the wealth of low cost power from an Alaskan hydro electric installation operating from British Columbia watershed"

[erritory's Lack Auditing System Shown Up
0NE-THIRD OF ICED FUNDS TO BE FREE
 THIS YEAR: RIDDEN

The Territory will be so well in the black by the end of the current biennium that approximately one third of funds frozen over the past three years will be "defrosted" Treasurer Henry Roden said today.
 The sum still in the cold belt even after last weeks mild thawing of money by the Board of Admini- stration is well over $5,000,000.
 Tax Commissioner M. P. Null aney, prior to his leaving for Seattle, estimated taxes would bring in from eight to nine million dollars this year, not counting on the disputen property tax, now held up in district court.
 The Board of Administration was forced to begin putting special ap- propriations on ice following the 1947 Legislature, and continued to do so as money was borrowed from banks to keep things going, and vouchers piled up in Auditor Frank Boyle's office because they couldn't be met.
 Last week the red ink bottle was dumped out the window, With the banks paid off to the tune of al- most a half million, and some $800- 900 in vouchers liquidated. Money left over was about half million with more than $260.000 already given out by the board in their de- frosting action.
 Schools Paid Up Already paid incorporated schools this year is s1 ,O31 ,353.76, Dr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of education said. Not a dime is owing them now either from this year or last. At the end of June, these schools
 those either in cities or incorpo- rated school districts-will be owed $677,841.31. Dr. Ryan told Roden. Juneau schools receive $37.047.84 quarterly. This sum. as is the case | throughout Alaska, is released or monthly basis, so the local school
 boards are not required to have such heavy bonds-at S12,500 a month, bond need be only twice that amount, which of course costs less than double the quarterly sum  Going back to Roden's estimate or the Territory's ability to defrost the iced amounts due various agencies he feels the one-third figure his office could give out was conserva- tive.
 But conservatism being his habit he said moment later that it'll be at least one-fourth the amount" Within the next few weeks, the tax office will have more definite figure on what's coming in, and a few totals to present, and at that time Roden will be able to make a more definit prediction.
 "But this much is certain" he said, i've can keep paying our bills and stay away from the money lenders until the new lawmakers take over next January"
