MUSHER MOORE IN CONNECTICUT
 MAINE BOUND
Sleeps in Bed Used by George Washington
 Dogs in Stable

NEW PRESTON, Conn.,, Feb. 1a - tR - George Washington slept here = and so did Cecil "Mush' Moore. In Georges bed, too.
 The bearded dog musher, who trailed a team of huskies out of Fairbanks, Alaska, 57 weeks ago stopped here last night near the end of his dog sled trip to Lewis ton, Me.
 Moore's story of trials and tribu- lations on the 5,100-mile trek from Fairbanks found sympathetic listener in Judge Walter M. Pickett, present owner of the house where George Washington slept one night in TIT.
 The court of common pleas judge |not only put Moore up in the George Washington bed in the George Washington house. he found shell ter for Moore's eight Husky dogs in a shed in which = according to local legend = Waslnington's horse was once stabbed.
 Moore said both he and his dogs were footsore and weary when they arrived here today. He said he had travelled 2lOO miles on sled runners [ through dense Alaskan and Canad- ian wilderness and 5000 miles with wheels attached to the sled.
 He had a team of Il Huskles when he left Fairbanks. The wolves got one of them. One disappeared and one was left in Torrington Sun day after giving birth to litter.
 Moore began the trek more than year ago to raise funds for the Lions club at Lewiston, his nome town.

GRUENING REPLIES
 TO ASSERTIONS MADE

Two Alaskan Republican leaders expressed the opinion in Lincoln Day banquet speeches last night that Governor Gruening's proposal for his removal from numerous ter ritorial boards was not voluntary gesture. W
 They contended he was told to do so by "higherups."
 The speakers were Albert White longtime Alaska Republican party general counsel, and R. E. Robert son, Juneau attorney.
 Robertson declared the Governor is not surrendering anything volun- tarily - don't be deceived on that.
 White expressed the opinion in- structions from higherups account ed for the conciliatory tone" in Gruening's message to the Legisla- ture.
 In response to newsman's re- quest for comment on assertions by Robertson and White that pres sure from "higherups" prompted his proposal to get off territorial boards, Governor Gruening said today:
 "If such statement was made, it was absolute and unqualified non- sense. The idea originated wholly and solely with me"

Gen. vandenberq Believes
 Russia Gould Gel 70 Out of
 100 Bombers Though io US.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3 -lR- Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, chief of the Air Force, believes Russia could push at least TO out of 100 bombers through to United States targets in a determined attack.
 Vandenberg said in a signed ar ticle in the current issue of Satur- day Evening Post that Russia has been working intensively on a heavy bomber to match the B-36" and "she unquestionably will build it."
 Analyzing the Soviet striking power and Americas air defenses Vandenberg said Russia now has at least 450 planes that can strike our major population and industrial centers from bases in the U.S.SR' GA reference to Russian copies o1 the B-29).
 He expressed his belief that nc conceivable defense not ever such a preposterous device as Q five-mile high steel fence around the country backed by an unbroker radar screen, perfect warning system and an umbrella of fighter planes could fully stop de- termined bombing attack.
 Should war come" Vandenbere said, we can be expected to destroy no more than 30 per cent of the planes making an attack in strength on the United States before bomb ing missions are completed And oui preparations today are not beefec up to achieve even that figure"

Copyright. 1851. oy Bell Syndicate. Inc. VAoHINGTON-The man who really dominates cabinet meetings these days is not the president but defense mobilizer Charles E. Will son. Truman is so fond of Wilson personally, so determined to give him complete power, that the big square -jawed ex-head of General Electric carries far more weight than any member of the cabinet.
 In fact, some cabinet meetings have featured none-too-friendly ar guments in which Wilson always gets what he wants.
 For example, Wilson will an- nounce to the cabinet: We need more timber for defense construc- ton. The lumber people tell me we can get it from the National for estS."
 The National forests are under Secretary of the Interior Chapman, while the timber in them is under the forest service and Secretary of Agriculture Grammar. And if the latter argue about the need of saving timber for future genera tions and suggest using only half the proposed amount, Wilson's

SEATTLE, Feb. 13 -tPl- A cold wave brought simultaneous relief and new hardships to flood-ravaged Western Washington early today.
 The temperature dropped to the low 20s in the Cascades, halting mountain thaws and stopping the heavy runoff of snow melt. The freezing weather caused new hardships among hundreds of per sons left homeless by weekend floods which overran sections of Western Washington and British Columbia.
 AS the mercury dipped to a min- imum of 25 in the hard-hit Skagit River area, the sheriffs office re- ported calls for help from persons who said they had been taken ill
 While the rivers, chased out of their banks late last week by three days of record rainfall, continued | to recede, hundreds of families still were kept from their homes by the muddy flood waters.
 Damage to homes, farms and in- dustrial plants was expected to run into the millions.
 At least eight persons died in the multi-river rampage that was touched off last Friday. Three per- ished in Northern Idaho and five in British Columbia.
 A number of roads still were closed and numerous Western Washington communities wer z dead in the water" containing not living soul.

FRANKLIN BILL GOES TO SENATE;
 NEW MEASURES IN
By BOB DE ARMOND

Rep. Glen Franklin's bill to set up Legislative Investigating Commit tee was on it's way to the Senate today after Rep. sdcCutcheon waiv- ed his notice of intention to move for reconsideration.
 The bill passed the House on Sat- urday after a heated debate. The vote was 14-10.
 The House this morning voted to include Territorial employees in Rep Hendrickson's bill to extend Social Security coverage to employees of public agencies, and to exempt mu- nicipalities from the provisions ot Rep. Metcalfes bill regarding mili- tary leave.
 As amended, the military leave bill will not require municipalities to grant up to 16l2 days leave a year to employees who are members of a reserve component of the Armed Forces.
 Rep. Hendrickson explained he fears the smaller cities might be hurt by having to grant such leave with pay and that the tendency would be for them not to employ re servists.
 New Bills
 Four new bills and couple O. memorials hit the House hopper thl' morning.
 A House memorial by Reps Barnes and Gundersen, seeks establishment of 24-hour service to the traveiine public at the Canadian boundary stations of Pleasant Camp, B. C.. and Snag, Y. T.

 RAY STUDIES

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 --R- A Navy official confirmed today that flying saucers" really existed, but actually were huge plastic balloons used in high-altitude cosmic ray studies.
 Dr. Urner Liddel, Chief of the Nuclear Physics branch of the Office of Naval Research, made this dis closure in an article in the current Look Magazine.
 Liddel, in Washington, discussed the Look story further when news men queried him.
 The Navy balloons, Liddel de- clared, were 100 feet in diameter and sometimes rose to a height of l9 miles. He added that winds might sweep them along at 200 miles an hour
 At dusk, the slanting rays of the sun lighted up the balloons bottoms, giving them the saucer-like appear ances, Liddell said. Liddel said the existence of the big balloons was kept secret be- cause the project was connected with atomic developments. Liddell, who was in charge of the balloon tests, said that secrecy was mo longer" necessary. These balloons, called skyhooks by the Navy. were first used ir l947, about the first time the disks were first sighted
