Cease-Fnre EnvOys Agree On ? Points In Agenda Talks
By ROBERT EUNSON

SEOUL, (P - Allied and Red envoys agreed today on two points of the cease-fire agenda but a dispute over 'Hat least one major point" is blocking the start of actual Korean war armistice ne gotiations.
 The United Nations announced this today after negotiators re- turned from their longest session this week. It was the first report of agreement on any part of the agenda.
 Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, head of the LIN. cease-fire team, ac- cepted communist wording for two agenda items at the close of Tuesdays conference, the an- nouncement said.
 When he did so, "the entire communist delegation seemed to show qualification, perhaps mixed with a certain element of relief" said Brig. Gen. William Nichols of the US. Air Force. And when Admiral Joy presented the Allied view on the major unresolved question, Nichols said, the two Chinese members of the commun- ist delegation nodded and ap- peared to appreciate the United Nations viewpoint"
 Observers speculated that the key question was whether to dis cuss withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea. The communists want this on the agenda. The United Nations do not.

Ike Meets With Command Chiefs

PARIS, (P - General Dwight D. Eisenhower met Tuesday with his central command chiefs in an important conference to plan the defense of this new Western Eu- ropean area.
 The meeting brought together top figures in British, French and American military lines, including Field Marshall Viscount Mont gomery and the British and Am erican command in Germany.
 Gen. A. Juinn, resident general of French Morocco, who is boss of the big Allied army forces as- signed to the command, flew from North Africa to Paris for the meeting.
 The conference was expected to result in an early announcement that Juin would relinquish his African duties to take over the full time job under Eisenhower. This would dispell recurrent re- ports here that Juin was unwill- ing to give up his Moroccan post for the supreme headquarters command.

St. Louis Is Threatened By Rising Water

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, (P) - Elmer gency crews worked feverishly today to bulwark dikes and check rising water that already has caused damage estimated at near ly a million dollars to factories and rail yards in this immediate area.
 As. St. Louis was bracing for the flood, already the nations costliest, President Truman made first-hand aerial survey of con- ditions, and the federal govern ment rushed efforts to rehabili- tate vast areas of Kansas, Miss ouri and Oklahoma.
 The situation at St. Louis was becoming worse hourly as the mighty Missouri continued to pour it's tremendous volume of flood waters into the Mississippi. A stage of 40 feet was forecast for St. Louis by Saturday.
 Water had subsided at Kansas City, but the major portions of the flooded industrial districts were still under water-eight to 10 feet of water in some places.
 The crest of the Missouri was approaching Jefferson City, the capital in the center of the state.

Talk With Franco On Possible Role European Defense

WASHINGTON, {P-Secretary of State Acheson announced to- day that the United States has opened talks with Spain's Franco government on its possible role in the defense of Europe. He con- ceded that this country is split with Britain and France on the question.
 Acheson declared in a state ment read at his news confer ence that military authorities are in general agreement that Spain is of strategic importance to the general defense of Western Eu- rope"
 Acheson said he understands the Spanish government may make an announcement tomorrow about changing some of its policies which have been criticized here as dictatorial.
 Referring to Adm. Forrest Sher- mans talk with Franco on Mon days, Acheson said it was ''nat- ural" that talks should be started to find out what Spain "might be willing and able to do' to build up the common defenses against possible aggression. Sherman, chief of naval operations, is on a European tour concerned mainly with Atlantic Pact defenses. Spain is not a member of the defense alliance.

Busy Chamber Meeting

The NW.A. Chamber of Com merce discussed the mail tie-up at Anchorage at their noon meeting Tuesday, due to the fact that Paul Warbler, district superintendent of mails from the Anchorage area, was visiting in Nome.
 It has been reported, since the meeting, that MT. Warbler stated that at present there is no backlog of mail in Anchorage for Nome. He also advised that when the In- ternational airport in Anchorage is completed, mail will be exped- ited most efficiently, being trans ferred right the field, for the States or from the States.
 Mayor Jones, upon request of Board member Arvo Saario, stated that city officials had met with Tony Schwamm of the Territorial Aviation Board and some concern was felt over the necessary funds for maintenance of Marks Air Force Base Field, which had been turned over to the CAA.
 Robert Hall of CAA has assured the city, however, that repairs are now under way and he stated that CAA would adequately main tain the field and there should be no concern over it at this time.
 Copies of letters to the Nome School Board, the Commissioner of Education at Juneau, and the City Council were read, recom- mending and asking that music supervisor be included on the staff of the Nome school this year. This action was voted several meetings ago in response to re- quests that a city band be or ganized and children given the opportunity of music training as extra curricular school work inas- much as their other outside activ- ities are limited during the long winter months.

Air Force DisclOses 25,OOO Radar Men On Steady Watch
By ELTON C. FAY Military Affairs Reporter

WASHINGTON, (P - Almost 25,000 Air Force radar men now are on steady watch at stations and control centers in the United States and Canada to detect the approach of any strange and pos sibly hostile planes, the Associ- ated Press was told by officials today.
 Three years ago, in the days of economy and before the swift buildup of military strength which started with the Korean war, only about 5000 to 4,O00 men were in the entire warning system. That system then consisted of few iso- lated defense areas where radar scanning of the skies was con- ducted part time. There was no coordinated warning system.
 However the fact that warning stations now are almost fully manned does not mean that the U. s. has all the warning system it plans or wants or that the equipment used at those stations all is necessarily modern.
 The exact number of warning stations and control centers and their locations are secret.
 The stations in the U. s. and Alaska work with those in Can ada under the mutual Canadian US. defense plan.

val base and riding a gale with
out navigation charts.

base opposite Formosa. A. search
party stripped the British vessel
of its log, manifests, papers, all
charts, inspected its cargo, told
the crew and captain they would
be detained on Formosa for two
or three months.
When a gale blew up, the. Ma

shift his vessel to a safer anchor
age. The captain ordered full
speed ahead taking advantage of

more than 300 miles through

general and his party.
When t h e MacArthurs
reach the west coast, it will
be their first visit home in
IA years.
ut has not yet been announced
wether Gen. Macarthur will go
from San Francisco However, in
the light of a statement by "a Mac
Arthur spokesman, it may be as
sumed the general will proceed
cast.
Wants To Address Congress
General MacArthur's spokcs
man. Major General Courtney
Whitney, has given every indica-
ton that the former supreme
commander wants to explain the
views for which he was dismiss
cd.
In a statement undoubtedly APP
proved by Macarthur, Whitney
said the general wants to mini
mize war, not to spread it.
Whitncy's statement carried an
implied challenge to President
Truman on the issue that is still
being debated in many parts of
the world The issue is whether to
to- limit the war to Korea. or to
carry it to Red China.
Macarthur favors a second front
in China. President Truman said
Wednesday night he had fired
Macarthur as far east commander
because the generals policies
would lead to World War III.
Macarthur wants to get his
views before congress and Re
publican leaders are anxious tc
give him the chance. The tone of
today's announcement here shows
that Macarthur is not through
fighting.
Whitney asid today that Gen
eral Macarthur was fired without
warning and without considering
