Truman Calls
 For Letfers
 0nRF(Loans

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 -R- President Truman, steaming over Capitol Hill charges one of his aides influenced REC loans, has got from the lending agency copies of it's correspondence about loans with Congress members TOO to 900 let ters in all.
 MT. sTruman's move in the red-hot controversy was first brought out today at a Senate Banking Subcom- mites hearing on the question of whether REC directors have yielded to influence and favoritism in hand ing out millions in government loans. The White House later con- firmed that MT Truman had called for the correspondence.
 At the Capitol, Chairman w. FL der Harber of the REC board of directors testified he had ordered copies of the letters delivered to the White House and had discussed them with the President himself" !"
 Ask what purpose President rru- man had in mind for using the correspondence, Harber replied:
 He didn't say"
 At the same time, it was de- veloped that the REC has hired Eu- gene Kelly, a Washington news paperman, as a $50-a-day public re- lations adviser. Under questioning from the senators, Kelly said he joined the REC staff "a week ago today" and expected to be retained "one week or two weeks"

 R0AS.TED
Mackenzie Me m oridl Wants Revamping Of PoIi-
 eies Dealing with Alaska

An Alaska senator today describ- ed the attitude of many Federal agencies toward utilization of the Territory's resources in a national emergency as shocking"
 In memorial to all U. s. sen ators. pr. R. M. Mackenzie, Demo- cratic senator from Ketchikan, charged that flew Federal Govern ment officials possess a realistic understanding of the Territorys capabilities in furnishing the nation with essential materials"
 The Territorial legislator charged that the Alaska lumber industry was being discrininated against and the Federal agencies were fall ing down on opportunities to develop vital mineral and hydroelectric re- sources.
 Mackenzie said he would intro duce the memorial in the Legisla- ture tomorrow.
 MacKenzie's memorial says 'des- bite a national need, more than 5000 tons of chromite ore . r.. lies deserted on Kenai Peninsula beach," The ore was purchased by the Federal Government during World War I at a cost of $250, ,726, the memorial asserts.
 Although the annual demand for timber to be used in Alaska's con- struction program exceeds 100000 GOO feet, the actual cut is less than 55,000,000 owing to discrimination by Federal agencies against Alaska mill operators" the memorial con- tinues. "The Army Engineers depot in Anchorage recently purchased 100000 feet of lumber outside Alaska, without even asking Alaska mills for bids, at a cost about S7Q,- 900 over Alaska mill prices.
 Owing to the manner in which specifications are drawn Alaska mills currently are being deprived of the opportunity of bidding on contracts involving 20,000,000 board feet"
 The memorial asserts that "at- tempts by an Alaska timber oper- ator early in 1851 to establish a plywood plant to produce material critically needed in Alaska and elsewhere were blocked because of the inability to obtain favorable plant site from the Federal Gov ernment
 Alaska mining operating desir- ing to furnish antimony, mercury and tungsten have been unable to do so owing to the confusion sur rounding the program of the De- fense Minerals Administration in Alaska"
 The memorial calls on the U. s. Senate to re-examine the policies of national agencies dealing with Alaska.

The President asked in return

Mr.. Truman said he was not
