Grueningg "Has No Complaint" Over
 Delay In Hearings
(By Jim Hutcheson)

JUNEAU, (P)-Gov. Gruening said today "I have no complaint" about the decision of the US. Sen ate insular affairs committee to postpone verdict on whether ad- ditional hearings will be held on Alaska statehood.
 Sen. Howard Lyng O-Nome), member of the statehood execu- tive committee, declared that Gin my opinion the committee was en- tirely justified in holding up the statehood bill"
 The House apparently expressed its opinion Monday when it divid- ed 12-12 on a memorial recom- mending against any further hear ingS.
 The Third divisions ardent statehood opponents in the House, however, tried determinedly to get the memorial approved Mon day. They insisted that failure would be a setback to statehood because of the interpretation foes in Congress would place on it. Of the Senate committee de- cision to bypass further Hawaii hearings while delaying a decision on Alaska, the governor said:
 ''It's fair procedure At the last session of Congress Alaska had the first chance at statehood and, after all, Hawaii started it's statehood move earlier and has and had it's statehood conven- tion."
 Rep. Stanley McCutcheon O. Anchorage) reaffirmed the Third division Democrats stand for a larsM Third division.
 Delegation to a statehood con- vention-if and when. That was the issue in the House memorial sent to the Senate committee which was given by US. Sen. o. Mahoney D-Wyo0 as a reason for delaying action on Alaska statehood hearings.
 McCutcheon argued the 10 dele gates for the Third division, which would be twice what any other division would have, is

LABOR:
An Open Revolt

Angry labor leaders were in open
revolt against the nations mobiliza-
ton program. 1t began when the
wage Sterilization board voted
to 3 to stabilize wages at level
generally 10 per cent above that of
January Is, 1850. Three labor men,
bers quit the board
But labor's complaint against the
boards new formula for equalizing
wages proved to be only a pretext
What they really had on their chests
was whole series of gripes against
Charles E. Wilson, director Of mo-
bilization.
They commended that labor was
not given a prominent place in pol
icy-making. and that attempts were
made to freeze wages while food
prices and rents were still un-
settled
Many observers believed that the
blowup was inevitable, that sooner
or later someone would challenge
the vast power bestowed upon Will
son and the "bull-it-through" man.
ner IN which he welded that power.
1t was the old story of big bust
ness and labor in open conflict. But
in this instance it was the nation
mobilization program that suf-
fered.
Also on the labor front, the
brotherhood Of railway trainmen
unexpectedly pleaded guilty to con-
tempt charges arising from "sick"
strikes in the Washington yards
and were fined $4,000.
Labor circles wondered to what
extent the guilty plea-a union as
Stunning responsibility for wildcat"
strikes-would effect other pend
ing cases, and whether it would
help control wildcat tactics in the
future.

STALIN:
The Role Of Prophet

Prime Minister Stain, in one of
his rare public statements, predict
ed the United States and Great Brit
ain are doomed to defeat in Korea,
and the disintegration of the United
Nations.
Assuming the role of a prophet
laundering from his mountain, the
Soviet leader attempted to intimi-
date the free nations of the world,
to stir, up discord between the North
Atlantic pact nations, and brand
Russia the only true champion of
world peace. He succeeded only in
tangling himself in a web Of con-
tradictions and lies.
There was even a minor threat
of war when he said war cannot
be considered inevitable" but that
it might come if the "warmongers
succeed in entangling the masses of
the people in lies, in deceiving
them"
Stain went so far as to blister
ingly denounce British Prime Min
lister Attlee for Lying" in saying
llldt nuSSld ldd IlOl oSIIlODiliLCd
after World War II. For his efforts
in this direction, Stain received a
sharp slap by the British govern
ment with the charge that Russian
armed forces now total ITS divi-
sions, Is. 900 tanks and 10000 planes.
With tongue in cheek, the British
pointed out that figures don't lie.
Some western observers, noting
Stalin's assertion that the UN. was
"burying it's moral prestige and
booming itself to disintegration."
believed Russia may be preparing
to quit the organization.
No one in his right mind could
believe any of Stalin's statements
and the left-handed assertion that
Russia really wants peace. To the
contrary, Stalin's statements and
the American and British replies
only point up the seriousness Of the
present world situation.
The statement should do much to
bring about a concentrated effort
on the part of the west for what
now seems inevitable.

TROOPS:
Marshall Tells Plans

Gen. George Marshall, secretary
of defense, took much of the steam
out Of the great debate" over the
question of American military aid
to Europe when he told congress
that the us. planned to send 100, GOO
more men abroad. The number was
much smaller than had been ex-
pected
1t seems fortunate that oppo-
nents of the administration for
eign policy finally forced General
Marshall to reveal the exact num-
Der of men. 1t certainly provided
the Soviet Union with valuable
bit of military information.
Official Washington circles report
ed that sharp debate preceded the
decision to tell the size of the army
planned for Europe Both the de-
Tense and state departments were
against the disclosure.
However, continued attacks on
foreign military aid by influential
senators, including Taft of Ohio and
Wherry of Nebraska, forced the de-
cision. These attacks were con-
tinued even after Taft and men,
bers of the senate armed service
committee were informed in secret
of the plans
General Marshall told the SEN
ators that for security reasons he
spoke reluctantly" His reluctance
was understandable in that he knew
and disapproved of giving aid and
comfort to a possible enemy of the
United States. 1t is too bad other
prominent figures on the national
scene did not feel the same way as
General Marshall, Washington OBJ

|CONTROLS:
New Curbs Likely

The protests of the nations house
wives, labor and the average home
towner may bring about new legis-
lations soon to stabilize food prices.
Eric Johnston, economic-stabiliza-
ton director, limited that legislation
will be requested to "equalize and
stabilize" farm prices and indus
trial wages.
Critics of recent enacted wage
price controls contend that the law
protecting farmers standard Of
living-by the parity device-is
making mockery of the govern
ment's intimidation program.
On the other hand, farm spokes-
men have countered with a charge
that an attempt is being made to
smear farmers and make them the
goat in any federal move to roll
back prices.
Johnston is on something of spot,
with the housewives and labor
lined up on one side and the farm
bloc on the other. He has expressed
himself as believing the farmer is
entitled to his parity. But by the
same token, the laboring man is
entitled to his parity, too, for as the
cost of food goes up, the cost of
living goes up.
M n W h le, the government
slapped on stiff new credit terms
for nonresidential construction,
amounting to so per cent down pay
ments, in its battle against infla-
ton.
The new order called for one-half
down on construction of new stores,
offices, hotels, banks, warehouses,
garages, auto-service stations, res
taurants, theaters, clubs and "other
new structures"
The same requirement applies to
repair, enlargement, alteration, and
reconstruction of existing CONNER
cial buildings if the cost of the i'm
,provement exceeds Is per cent of
the buildings appraised value.

.SPORTS:
Gume-Fix Scandal

The sensational disclosure Of
basketball game fixing involving
three New York colleges and a
number of prominent players had
reprecussions as far down as the
home towns of America.
Basketball is the most popular
high school and college sport in the
nation. Year after year a greater
number of people see basketball
games-from cracker-box gymnas-
iums to Madison Square Gardens
than witness any other sport
1t is apparent that game-fixing
has not been confined to New York
alone. A number of investigations
which are just being launched will
undoubtedly reveal bribery in many
sections of the country.
High school basketball in the
home towns of the nation does not
draw national headlines, but there
can be little doubt that there must
have been numerous cases of at
tempted game-fixing on the high
school level.
The scandal among the big
schools, if nothing else, will bring
about closer inspection of the game
on the home town level. It may
cause a cleanup that will again
stress fair play and craftsmanship
among the nations youth.

Important change in basic posta,

The postal department first

filed petition with the interstate
commerce commission for a 95 per
cent increase in mail-pay rates.

KOREA:
Reds Pull Back

United Nations troops in Korea
regained the offensive after break
ing the back of the communist at
tack which saw the Chinese suffer-
ing an estimated 81 900 casualties.
It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's
troops pushed forward in limited
advances. but there were indications
that Ridgway would not cross the
38th parallel in the immediate fu-
ture.
There remain large INDICATED
Chinese elements north Of the old
political boundary line and the
Chinese could bring down masses
of men from further north.
Ground gains have assumed a
secondary role in the Korean fight
ing General Ridgway seems to be
operating on the theory Of hitting
the Communists where the maxi
mum number of casualties can be
inflicted and retiring to established
positions to plan the next move.
No one can foresee the end of the
Korean war which has ragged up
and down the peninsula for eight
months And although the Chinese
have suffered defects in recent
weeks there is no indication that
they are seriously hurt.

CHINA:
An Inside Report

The first reliable information
from within Communist China since
that country's intervention in Korea
was made public by Arthur Moore,
British newspaperman who Wis
tied Peiping with the backing of the
Indian ambassador.
Moore reported the large number
of casualties in Korea was causing
concern to Red China's leaders and
that Manchurian hospital facilities
had been unable to care for the
wounded.
The war in Korea, although waged
on a limited scale, is still somewhat
of surprise to the Chinese. Cas-
ualties are greater than expected
and major gasoline problem has
developed.

Senator Wherry's Toast

Before French Premier Rene
Pleven returned to Paris. he at
tended stag dinner at the French
embassy where he sat directly
across the table from Sen. Ken
Wherry of Nebraska. the arch foe
of European aid.
Throug hout the meal. the French
premier and the Nebraskan isola-
ZIONIST chatted pleasantly about past
experiences. Pleven told about Wis
iting Nebraska as a youth, and
spoke glowingly OF Nebraska's beef
cattle.
Wherry responded with a story on
himself. He recalled that, as state
COP chairman, he had made po-
litical transforming trip across the
state. AS he moved from town to
town in southwest Nebraska, he
came upon small community that
had received no advance word and
wasn't expecting him. Nevertheless.
he rounded up the local Republican
leaders and arranged pep rally
that night AS he went into his spiel
about the Nebraska COP ticket,
however, he got cold reception.
There was an exchange of whispers
with the local leader, and the red
faced Wherry discovered he had
wandered across the border and
mistakenly arranged rally in Colo
RADIO.
The French permier laughed
heartily, and soon the two were
talking back and forth as if Wherry
were an ardent supporter of aid
to Europe. When it came time for
the traditional toasts, all drank to
success of Franco-American rela-
tons and the French aid program.
Finally it came Wherry's turn
to lift his glass and turning to
Pleven, he declared:
"Mr. Premier, I may ask a lot
of questions. But I want you to I'm
derstand that I am in favor of
helping the French"
