 of Union Message
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 P - Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said today the Truman administration gives the American people only a yes and no' choice on foreign policy.
 Tn an address to the National Press Club, Taft said proposals arc presented to Congress so that it has few alternatives in making decisions on international affairs. He cited as examples the United Nations Char ter, the Marshall Plan of economic aid to Europe and the North Att lantic Pact.
 Much of Taft's address was aimed in obvious reply to President Tru- mans State of the Union message yesterday. Taft repeated his oppo- sjtion to Americas taking the initi- atiqe in forming 9 great land army in Western Europe to face the Rus sians.
 T think that is much more likely to bring war than to bring peace.s Taft declared.
 MT. Truman told Congress yes terday the way to build is to build up thes western Democracies to the point where the Soviets will respect their strength.
 Administration policy looks to creation of combined European defense force in which there will be considerable American troops, al- though no exact figures on US, contributions has ever been an- nounced.
 This idea has brought opposition from some Congress members. A possible Senate vote on it is shaping nm

KEREMEOS, B.C., Jan. 9-4R- After IS days of chanting and prayer in a darkened stone farm cottage, 35 members of a queer re- ligious cult were ready today either for the end of the world or to meet their God"
 There appeared to be some doubt just what the Children of Light, as they call themselves, expect to happen.
 Followers passed out word after their vigil began Dec. 26 that the Knowledge of earth's impending end Jan. had come in a vision to their grey-haired leader, Mrs. Grace Agnes Carlson.
 But 50-year- Mrs. Carlson, dressed in a flowing white robe and red cape, would not go that far when she talked to newsmen yester- day.
 we are waiting to meet God, ' she said But we don't know in what form. Only God knows that"
 Then she reiterated that she had experienced a phenomenon and had had visions which were "too sacred to disclose"
 Whatever the Children of Light anticipate, they await it in semi darkness. f
 Blankets have been pinned over windows of the isolated cottage on the outskirts of this little fruit farming community of 1000. Within are men, women and children who have divested themselves of things worldly.
 Many sold all their possessions to be free of debt when the Lord comes" Some disposed of orchard lands for as little as S2 an acre.

 WASHINGTON Democratic Senators came out of their secret , caucus of the new Congressional session determined to fight back against unfair, below-t -the-belt pol itical campaigning such as the fake photo featuring chummy conver- sation between Senator Tydings and Communist Earl Browder. < Senatorial backs were Stiffened by Clint Anderson of New Mexico, who urged them to make a test issue of the Maryland Senatorial campaign which defeated Tydings. While the same vicious type of campaign had been waged in other states. AndCrson said, only in Maryland was there direct evidence that the candidate himself. COP John Butler, had participated. "All you boys will be under this sort of attack if you don't do something about it," warned the New Mexico Senator.

 SCHEDULED IN SENATE
Question Is About Sending American Troops 10
 Europe for Defense

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 = R A Senate vote on sending American troops to Europe appeared likely today to produce the first test in Congress of President Truman's program to center free world de- lenses there.
 Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the Republican floor leader, promised to seek action soon on resolution barring the assignment of additional US. ground forces to Europe until Congress fixes an overall policy.
 This issue is at the heart of the swelling foreign policy debate which has taken on added vigor in the wave of severe military reverses in Korea.
 Low Down on Debate
 Reduced to it's essence, the debate is over whether this nation should concentrate it's defenses against Communist aggression within it's own shores or should give extensive aid as well to friendly nations in Western Europe and elsewhere.
 MT. Truman said nothing about sending more troops abroad in his personally delivered State of the Union" message to. the new Con gress yesterday M
 But he described the North At lantic community as the heart Of our defense effort" and left no doubt that he has no intention of turning back from the course of helping friendly nations.to rearm.
 we Will Fight"
 The President also pledged that avenues of negotiation would be kept open in the hope of reaching a peaceful settlement with Russia, but he declared that we will fight, if fight we must
 Wherry's resolution, which he left in parliamentary position where he could call it before the Senate almost any time, would bar assign ment of any further ground forces to Europe pending the formulation of policy with respect thereto by the Congress"
 Administration leaders planned an effort to send it to the Demo- cratic-controlled Foreign Relations Committee where it probably would die
 The test vote, which could come On that side issue, was generally expected to be close.

STUDY UNDERWAY 70 MOVE EWS FLEET
 TO JUNEAU BASE

The establishment of $300,000 a year operation in Juneau is possible within the near future if It Is de- termined economically advisable to move the Service vessel fleet headquarters to this port. it was disclosed today by Clarence Rhode, regional director. Headquarters of vessel personnel and the mainten- ance base is now in Seattle. .
 An evaluation of all factors in- yolved must be made before a final decision on the move can be given by Albert Day, Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, Rhode said. Day has indicated action will be taken on the matter within the next month.

They will leave Juneau tomorrow and will be in Washington about a month.

 Work This Winter
 Heavy equipment and power scow as well as the small craft have also been moved into quarters at the support to be readied tor next seasons operations, according to the Regional Director. Rhode said it is probable two of the large vessels will be brought north from Seattle this winter and thelr personnel added to the crew now at work on the small craft at the support. It is also planned to use some local labor on the job.
 The Service maintains fleet of 10 large vessels and 30 small craft used for transportation of person. nel and equipment, patrol duty, game and refuge work and stream improvement operations.

ELEVEN fHAN6ES pR0pOSED IN NEW
 STATEHOOD Bill
Committee Also Wanis Un- freezing of 900, Bal
 anee of Appropriation

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. g. lR- Eleven changes in the New AL aska statehood bill won approy- al of the Alaska Statehood Com mittee at it's weekend session here
 They will be submitted to the new Congress. Members of the Statehood Committee decided the changes would make the enabling act more desirable from the flask an point of view and would tend to eliminate some of the opposi- tion in the states
 The committee also decided to ask the Territorial Board Of Ad- ministration to "unfreeze' the S55,- eco balance of it's appropriation for use in an educational, promo tional and research program.
 One of the proposed bill changes would eliminate party considera- tions in the election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention of the proposed new state. The committee favored retention of q primary vote to precede the elec- ton.
 Cut Out Reservations
 Another change would eliminate references to native reservations, clause which drew fire from many national organizations in the last session of Congress.
 The changes also provide for q total of 31 delegates to be distrib- uted among the divisions oil the basis of the 1850 census. The bill passed by the House in the l949 Congress based delegates on the 1940 census. The 1850 census base would mean a big gain for the Third CAnchorage) Division and a lesser gain for the Fourth (Fair- banksl.
 Minor Changes
 Most other changes are minor. A 18th proposed otlange was drop ped. It proposed to limit the safe of state lands 10 tracts of $40 acres and limit the authority of the state to collect more than l2ia percent on minerals taken from state lands. The committee was told that gold miners favored re- tention of this clause. Congressional Delegate F. L. Bartlett. a member of the state hood Committee, predicted the pro- posals would draw little, if any, op- position in Congress.
