 SESSIONS
S2nd M Meeting Called. Pleas for National Unity
 Made -Gopers' Demands
By JACK BELL

7 WASHINGTON. Jan. R-The 82nd Congress went to work today amid Democratic pleas for national unity and Republican demands that President Truman clarify his inter- national aims.
 Reflecting grimly on American casualties in Korea, the Senate and House began organizing their ranks for two years of grapplng with vital problems which may lead the nation to devastating world war Or peace.
 Stronger in both houses because of their victories in the November elections, Republicans gave clear signs that they will move to force a reasSessnent-an some possible changes in American relations with other countries
 The Presidents military policies and many of his foreign policies are hidden in darkness now" Taft declared
 Rearming Issue
 Taft foresaw Congress almost complete absorption with the issues of rearming against the threat of soviet aggression--such questions as military appropriations. new taxes, economic controls and changes in tale draft law.
 He gave little chance for legisla- sss.l to esSpalid federa, healgh wel fare, education and other activities. although he said he himself will offer measures of this kind.
 Senator Mcfarland of Arizona, elected yesterday as Senate Demo- cratic leader, told reporters he thinks the chief thing to be ac- complished now is to achieve na- tional unity.
 National Unity
 We must work for unity between Congress and the White House and unity in the country" Mcfarland said.
 In that Mcfarland echoed the sentiments of his predecessor, Sen ator Lucas of Illinois. Lucas told the closing Senate session of the 8lst Congress yesterday that we cannot win war, nor can We win 9 peace. hopelessly divided"
 Mcfarland declined to forecast the trend of legislation until Presi- dent Truman reports on the state of the nation and the world at joint meeting of both houses Mon- day. The President will outline his program then and in budget and economic messages later.
 Armed Forces BuiIaup
 Mfr. Truman has said the na- tions armed forces should be built up to a level of 3,50o,ooo men as as possible
 The outgoing 8lst Congress left behind it for President Truman's certain signature a s20,00G 100000 appropriations bill The new Congress is expected to be asked for minimum 100000, DOC in military outlays.
 Also sent to the President was a civilian defense bill giving broad powers to an administrator in case of attack.
 New Man for Job
 The President has said he will name former Gov. Willard F. Cald- well Jr.. of Florida to this job. is already serving in Q similar agency
 MT. Truman is expected to ask again for statehood for Hawaii and Alaska. He probably will renew his for establishment of a Fair Employment Practices Com tFEPC), a perennial signal for Senate filibusters.
 He probably will also ask for an Point Four" program to give economic aid to the worlds backward areas.

Hit Alaska in July

GNdllS SdlQ ISpOl US AIOlil 1llipiOy ment Security agencies indicate a labor shortage will strike Alaska about July l.
 Enroute to his Juneau headquart- CTS Evans stopped over in San Francisco to meet with Glenn E. Broadway, regional director of rhe Employment Security Commission on the west coast and the territor- ies of Alaska and Hawaii, to dis cuss with him ways and means of finding more manpower to meet the labor shortage. Broadway re- gently disclosed that 300,000 labor CTS are needed now on the Pacific Coast.
 Evans also stopped in Denver to discuss his work with Gene Norton, apprenticeship representative for the Department of Labor in Alaska. Norton is attending a training ses- sion in Denver being held as a part of the program to meet the need for skilled workmen. Norton will return to Alaska about January l3 and will put into use the program of the training session in facilitat- ing the progress of the 100 appren- tice laborers now at work in AL aska.
 Enforce Safety Rules
 AS a first step in an effort to minimize accidents on construction jobs in Alaska, contracting agencies will in the future place safety per- sonnel on each major construction job in the territory to carry out the enforcement of established safety rules, Evans said.
 This policy will be activated as a result of the discussions on acci- dent occurance on Alaska con- struction projects taken up at the National Labor conference. Evans said that grave concern was ex-- pressed on the reported large num- Der and severity accidents to work men on Alaska jobs. Efforts are being made to correct the situation by a cooperative arrangement be- tween the contractors, unions, con- tracing agencies and the Depart ment of Labor.
 Also attending the Labor Depart ment conference were Henry Ben son, Director of the Territorial De- partment of Labor, and as delegates of organized labor in the territory appointed by the Governor as re- guessed by rne Labor Department, Al Ownr, representing Cook Inlet Fishermen and Robert Mcfarland, representing building laborers. Den son, Evans said, plans to return to Juneau this week.
 Christmas In Montana
 Evans was accompanied to Ju- neau by Mrs. Evans who left here shortly before the Christmas holi- days. They spent Christmas with Mrs. Evans family in Missoula, Mont. 's
 Best part of his return to Ju- neau Evans said was renewing his acauaintance with his little grand daughter, Linda Lorraine Zenger, daughter of the Chester zengers. Amazing how a baby can change in three weeks" commented Evans today.

In Only n. |. Game
BY the Associated Press

CINCINNATI, April 16.-Cin-
cinnati and Pittsburgh-two teams
that are getting a bit tired of wait
ing for pennant lightning to
strike them-opened the National
Leagues 18th anniversary season
here today.
And even though hope springs
eternal. there was little or noth-
ing to indicate either the Reds or
the Pirates have what it takes to
finish on top of the heap this
season. ..-
In fact, the Pirates are a heavy
choice to finish last and most of
the experts are picking the Reds
for fifth, sixth or seventh.
Cincinnati hasn't won a pennant
since 1910 and it was back in
1927 that Pittsburgh last took top
honors.
It seemed particularly fitting
that the first game of the 18th
season-the others won't be played
until tomorroW-should be here.
Cincinnati had the, first profess
sional baseball team back in 1869.
With newcomers in both lineups
scheduled to be scarce, there was
major interest in how Ralph
Kiner will fare at first base for
the Pirates. The National League S
home run king has been moved
from the outfield to the first sack
to make room in the outer garden
for George Metkovich. The game
today was to be his first regular
league competition at first base.
