Big Demand For Asbestos From Alaska

Current national demand and accompanying high market prices should spur further exploration and development work on chryso- tile and tremolite asbestos de posits in the Kobuk river region and elsewhere in the Territory, it is reported by the Alaska Devel- opment Board.
 More than 30 large asbestos manufacturing concerns, inter ested in developing new sources of supply, have contacted the Board during the past month re- garding possibilities of purchasing asbestos or developing deposits in the Territory.
 A New Jersey company now is considering plans to explore ex- tensively the Kobuk river region from which has come the only commercial production of asbestos in Alaska. Small shipments, ag- gregating about 45 tons, were made from the region in 1944-45, bringing prices which ranged as high as $1,OOO per ton.
 Occurrences of asbestos also have been noted in the Salcha and Tolovana districts, the i'm b CT Creek region near Tok Junction, the Marshall district and on Ad- miralty Island. Extensive explor- ation is required to determine whether these deposits have com- mercial value. ' :
 Prospectors and others desiring to be placed in touch with poten- tial purchasers should write the Alaska Development Board, Box 50, Juneau, furnishing samples if possible.

 House Slashes % pct. Emergency Funds for Harry 5.
Economy

WASHINGTON, (P)-Economy forces in the House pointed to a walloping 96 per cent cut in President Truman's emergency funds as evidence that they're pushing ahead in their drive to reduce government spending.
 The Presidents funds came under the axe when the House passed and sent to the Senate a $6,144,450,355 appropriations bill financing 27 independent federal agencies for the year starting next July 1.
 The total was $693,1 ,137,11O less than MT. Truman has asked, and $24,000,000 of that was slashed from the Presidents own emer- gency money request. The fund is given the President to meet emergency needs arising from domestic or foreign developments not provided for in specific ap- propriati0ns.
 MT. Truman had requested $25 millions for the fund. The House Appropriations Committee chop ped it in half and the House it. self, by a roll-call vote of 160 to 128, whacked it down to $1 million, but it let the President retain an estimated $4 million left over from the current years fund.

ACCEPT WITH RESERVE

From Formosa via the Chinese Nationalist news agency the charge that at least three million persons in two South China provinces have been cuted by the Communists.
 Moreover, the Nationalist agency says that the purge is part of Communist plan to exterrnnate 2OO0OO0OO of China's 45OOOO,O0O population at the instigaton of Moscow. While there is no doubt of pressive measures in large of China finds +
 difficult to accept the totals that from Nationalist It is somewhat difficult to believe that the Communists have any idea of killing nearly half of the Chinese now living in that country.
 The item gives an excellent for doubting of the dispatches we read Despite the admitted purge of thousands of the British in terna difficulties Certainly if four out of every nine living Chinese citizens marked for slaughter the Chinese Reds expect to run into trouble. Conse- quently, until evidence comes along, it would be just we'll to take the news report with lot of caution.

BYRD URGES SENSIBLE PROCEDURE
Monday. May 7. 1851

Senator Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, wants a 'singepackage" appropriations bil so that Congress can act integently on the spending program of the nation.
 The "single-package" approach to appropriations employed during the second session of the last Congress but has been abandoned this year is un- wieldy and slow.
 Senator Byrd calls attention to the prospect that the nation will have overall expenditure of between $75 100000 and $8O0O0O 900 annually after the fiscal year 1852 He does not see how Congress can intelgently pass the issues involved through a piece-meal consideration of dozen separate bills, Drought in by period of six months or more"
 The proposal is business-like one in which to apporton public funds If there is any reason why the Congress should not adopt the procedure, do not know of it. Consequently we hope that the Congress will take proper action to make the Byrd plan per- manent procedure.

Gen. Marshall's Testimony

CContinued from Page One V Communist China, both from the sea and from the air.
 sHe would have us accept the risk of involvement not only in extension of the war with Red China, but in an all-out war with the Soviet Union," the defense secretary said, adding:
 "He MacArthur) would have us do this even though the effect of such action might expose West ern Europe to attack by the mil lions of Soviet troops poised in Middle and Eastern Europe"
 Marshall, at the outset of his testimony, said he deplored what he called the necessity for testify ing in contradiction to "a brother army officer"
 Then in later discussion of Mac Arthur, he said it is completely understandable and, in fact, at times commendable that theater commander should become so wholly wrapped up in his own aims and responsibilities tn t some of the directives received by him from higher authority are not those that he would have written for himself"

When this happens it allows our
internal organs to drop. The in

out of place with consequent pull
and internal strain generally

this.
