Business Will Get Materials As Needed

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov- ernment issued an order today aimed to assure that every busi- ness enterprise, public and pri- vate institution will get limited quantities of materials needed to keep their plants and facilities in operation condition.
 The order from the National Production Authority NPA) es- tablishes special priority rating for supplies for maintenance, re- pair and operations -- excepting materials going into end products.
 The new order, a part of the whole control program, came on the heels of one regulating the civilian use of rubber products affecting 10000 items in all-and at a time when a declaration of national wage policy was immi- nent.
 Manly Fleischmann, the NPA administrator, said the new order is designed to enable business and industrial firms, schools and other institutions to remain in good re- pair 'so that they can operate at a maximum rate consistent with direct defense requirements.
 NPA's order permits business concerns and other institutions to apply a priority rating, called "DO-97", to orders for mainten-

Russia Will Start War When She Is Ready; not Before

WASHINGTON, (R)-Lucius ID. Clay, former US commander in Germany, said today that suffic- tent western European defense
 Any attempt to fix "a mathe- to make Russian aggression "seem unprofitable."
 But to do thus, the retired gen. eral said, the present course of re-arming western Europe and supplying American ground troops to the north Atlantic defense force must be pursued "full speed ahead"
 Clay appeared before the Sen ate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees. He argued that American troops be sent to Europe without limitations" for the defense force being assembled by Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 He sharply disputed the testi- mony of former president Her bert Hoover yesterday that to send troops before the Europeans them selves were fully prepared would be to invite a massacre.
 "I do not subscribe to the the ory that the Russians are super men or super-fighters, or that Gen. Eisenhower, given a reason able number of men would be overwhelmed and massacred," he said.

Gen. Kepner Says He Will Protect ALL of Alaska

ANCHORAGE, (P- The head of the Alaska Defense Command says i've are no pushovers and anyone who thinks he can walk in and take Alaska is in for a rude awakening."
 It. Gen. w. E. Kepner said his organization is well prepared to defend all of Alaska against any nation that may "step in and try to take it."
 My mission is to defend Alas ka and that means all of Alaska" Kepner said. "The force of men here (Alaska is well trained and capable. We are prepared to meet the enemy whenever and where ever he may strike.''
 The general made the state ments Monday in commenting on a report made by a preparedness subcommittee of the Senate Armed Forces committee in Washington, D.C., last Thursday
 The subcommittee report said that an all-out war with Russia would force this country to aban- don certain isolated areas of Alas ka." ..-..
 The subcommittee report also said it appears reasonable to as- sume that little could be done to protect the Seward peninsula area from either bombing or actual in vasion if the Russia desired"
 The Seward peninsula reaches up into northwestern Alaska and borders on Boring strait, a 6O-mile strip of water separating the Ter ritory from Russian Siberia.
 Kepner said certain areas of Alaska are more vulnerable but that "any portion that is impor- tant to us." ....-.,
 'Our strength is highly mobile and can be moved to areas where it may be needed and when it is needed" he said. eff we are to temporarily relinquish an area it would be with the idea of making it untenable."

 Stanley Nichols Companion

KEY WEST, Fla, (P)ETwo de- velopments in the investigation of the death of former US. Marshal Stanley J. Nichols were reported Monday by Peace Justice Roy Hamlin.
 He said the blue sedan which Nichols drove here from Fair banks, Alaska, was found in a Miami parking lot over the week end and new information was un- covered on the man who was with the former marshal when h e checked in at the Floridian hotel Feb. 10.
 Nichols was found lying on the floor at the hotel Feb. 12. He died in a hospital four days later.
 Hamlin said the man with Mich ols was last seen Feb. II when he attempted to cash a $100 Travel CTS check. New facts about him were uncovered from a card he had filled out in preparation for a trip to Havana with Nichols.
 Hamlin said he gave the name of Thomas Meffert of Fairbanks, listed his age as 28, a native of Louisville, Ky, and profession al sailor"
 A travel agency told Hamlin that Nichols and the other man bought tickets to Havana on Feb. 10 and. the man brought them back the following day and cd- lected a refund.
 A warrant has been issued charging the missing man with stealing Nichols car, Hamlin said.
 Dr. Ralph >Herz, who performed an autopsy on Nichols, said death was due to natural causes. :. State attorney J. Lancelot Lee ter asked the coroner's jury to withhold it's ruling on the death, saying: @.e -:t,
 CT am not satisfied that there was no criminal intervention."

Lifting The Lid
 At Juneau
Tuesday. February 27. lsslj

ate Wnlpped tnrOugn seven minor bills yesterday, but two side issues stirred up the main legislative controversies. li tn.
 The House passed 24-4 a bill to make aliens eligible for old age pensions if they have lived in the Territory since 1895.
 An attempt to amend it to raise pensions from the present $80: to $90 a month stirred an oratorical storm before the proposed amend ment was defeated 17-7.
 The other warm dispute was over the biennial inspection trip by members of the legislature to the Pioneers home in Sitka.
 The Senate decided against par ticipating in the inspection junket which Sen. John Butrovich R- FairbankS labeled an absolutely disgraceful waste of money"
 The House voted to send only the seven-member Territorial In- stitutions committee, probablyFri- day and Saturday.
 Sen. James Nolan D-WrangelD said the Sitka trip cost about $950 in the last session.
 The dispute also found brother arrayed against brother. In the Senate, Steve McCutcheon D-An- chorage) moved to cancel any Sen- ate trip. In the House Stanley Mo Cutcheon O -.Anchorage) argued that legislators always bring back valuable information from the in- spection.
 The House fight to raise pen sions to $90 monthly was mainly the Third division representatives against the field. Voting for the increase were six Third division CTS and Rep. Frank Degnan, Sec ond division Democrat from Una lakleet. Rep. C. A. Pollard, Third division Democrat from Palmer, voted with the majority. ~
 Arguments by Rep. Jack Scav- enius O-Anhorage) ~fora$90 pen sion to "do justice for the old folks" brought charges of politics and 'vote-getting' talk from Reps. Alden Wilbur R-FairbankS and George Miscovich R-Flat.
 Stan McCutcheon, Scavenius and Rep. Wendell P. Kay O-An- chorage) retorted they are willing to raise taxes, if necessary, to pay the bill. They denied any political motives.
 Rep. Glen Franklin O-Bound- ary) interposed, saying that you willing tax-raisers wi Il get chance without increasing pension costs. We are going to be short on meeting the budget now and we nave to be practical"
 Reps. Waino E. Hendrickson R- e JuneaD and Amelia, Gundersen argued that aid to dependent children needs to be y increased more than pensions.
 Scavenius hcontended a special session, could be called next year f any budget financing emergen- y arises.

Junior Chamber Told
OF Proposal 10 Smooth
Reserves Civil Woes
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, June d. The
harmed forces reserve system must
be changed to take some of the
heat off young men trying to get
ahead in civilian life, Brig. Gen,
Melvin j. Mas said yesterday.
He spoke at the Junior Chamber
of Commerce convention. Eighty
per cent of the 10000 Jaycees

When the fighting broke out in
Korea, Gen. Mas said, "Reserv-
lists were called up suddenly, not
for war but to augment Army,
Navy and Air Forces in time of
peace.
Cites Job Troubles.
"That wasn't what they signed
up for. They signed up to defend
this Nation in time of war-not
to be policemen.
Because reserves are subject to
call. he said, employers have re-
fused to hire and promote them,
banks have refused them loans,
and thousands have lost every
thing they had"
Gen. Mas, a member of De-
fense Secretary Marshall civilian
components policy board, said it
had recommended an entirely new
policy for reserves. If Gen. Mar
shall approves, he said, the pro-
gram would be submitted to
Congress.
Modified Reserve Status.
He said the board was rec
ommending a program of uniyer-
sal military training for all men
from 18 to 26 who would be
trained, then placed In reserve
force subject to immediate call
by the President over a six-year
period.
After this six years, he said,
they would go into standby re-
serve force, on a volunteer basis,
and be subject to call only in
case of war or an emergency
declared by Congress.
THE burden would be divided
equally among ALL" he explained
