 Invasion Was Ruvnored

in bare faced distortion" in some of his testimony yesterday. Invasion Was Rumored
 Acheson said MacArthur's head quarters had report three months in advance that the North Korean Reds planned June invasion of South Korea but refused to believe it.
 Acheson's testimony came after Republicans put into the record a statement from Adm. Roscoe A. Hil- moer. former head of the U. s. Gen. tral Intelligence Agency, that he was never given copy of the 1947 We'd emeyer report warning of possible Communist aggression in Korea.
 This was a report It. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer made to President Tru- man after survey of the Far East.
 Secret Testimony
 Senator Bridges produced secret testimony from Hillen-Koetter to a Senate Appropriations subcommittee last year that so far as he knows the Wedemeyer report was kept secret from everybody"
 Acheson then told the senators that an intelligence report from MacArthur's command dated March 10, 1850 carried this note:
 Invasion Warning
 Report received that Peoples Army = referred to as Pa will invade South Korea in June, 1950'."
 Acheson went on:
 ITO that, was attached this com ment.
 Comment: The Peoples Army will be prepared to invade South Korea by fall and possibly by spring of. this year indicated in the cur rent report of armed force expan- sion and major troop movements at critical 38th Parallel areas. Even if future reports bear out the pres ent indication, it is believed civil war will not necessarily be precipi- tated; so that intentions in Korea are believed closely related to Com munist program in Southwest Asia Word of Attack
 Seems likely that Communist overt military measures in Korea will be held in abeyance, at least until further observations made by Soviets of results of their program in such places as Indochina. Burma and Thailand'."
 Bridges broke in on Acheson to remark, Well, that was a pretty definite statement that they had word that the attack was coming in June."
 Acheson: Pretty definite state ment? They said a report was re- ceived they would attack in June Then, the comment said, we don't believe this statement"

of 2.500 or 5000 tons of newsprint a day for ever and ever. Yet not one twig of this forest is now man. ufactured into pulp or newsprint.
 No Alaskan can tell the editors why that is. They can only report that they have hoped for pulp mills for thirty years past and that there is still hope. t
 The editors will inevitably dis cover, when they look closely, that Alaska is now living large upon it's fisheries and upon government spending, with the emphasis on the latter.
 And as a result of the govern ment spending they will observe in some parts of the Territory a bcom that rivals the Gold Rush of 50 years ago.
 The main difference is that 50 years ago the pay" came out of the ground and was shipped south to the United States mint. Now it is the Bureau of Printing and En- graving that produces the pay and ships it north to Alaska.
 Some mining is still carried on in Alaska, it is true, particularly in the northern sections. But there are deposits of copper and coal, iron, gypsum and other minerals that are not being mined and there is not nearly as much mining as Alaskans would like to see.
 Still, so long as the minerals re- main in the ground there is a chance for a mining revival.
 And with proper conservation the fisheries can last far into the future.
 But what will happen to Alaska when government spending, upon which her present boom is based, comes to an end? That is ques- tion Alaskans do not like to think too much about.
 All in all, the visiting editors may find Alaska a somewhat pug zling place. They need not be un- duly concerned about that. People who have spent their entire lives in the Territory still find it some thing Of puzzle.
 We do hope that the visitors will enjoy every moment of their stay and every mile of their travels in Alaska. And We hope that some of them will find it interesting enough that they will some day want to return to dig deeper into the Alaska story.

for their stories on Alaska.
 Alaska is a big story. In fact, it is several stories. Statehood for AL aska has become national issue and the defense of Alaska is of national interest. By reporting to their readers at first hand on these and other aspects of Alaska as they find it, the editors can do this Ter ritory a great service.
 The Alaska Story, the real story, will not be an easy one for the ed- itors to get for their readers. They will be pestered and even plagued by those who would turn them into publicity agents for this project or that.
 In all probability they will be showered with ready-made "opin- ions" that purport to be universal among Alaskans, and deluged with facts" in support of those opin- ions.
 It may even be that they will be treated like visiting Congressmsn and other political bigwigs and that efforts will be made to shepherd them around on carefully conduc- | ted tours and to shield them from :. the harsher realities of Alaska liv- 1 ing
 But while that sort of thing is not infrequently worked on the visiting politicians, it is doubt ful that a group of American news paper editors can be hornswoggled in such fashion.
 Here as elsewhere, then, the qucsting editors will have to cut through a good deal of dross to get at the true picture. They will have, as the miner would say, to sluice off the overburden and get 1 down to bedrock where the mug gets are.
 The nuggets of truth will be un- covered, in the towns of Alaska as in small towns everywhere, by talking with the man in the street, the man having coffee at the cor ner drugstore, the grocer, the banker, the hardware merchant, the taxi driver and the cop on the beat.
 It is hoped that at least some of the editors, within the limited time of their visit, will find the opportunity to get off into the by ways a little and to do their own prospecting They will find that Alaskans, the Alaskans who have | teen here long enough to put down some roots. are friendly people, as , easy to talk to. as the folks back home in Osage, Iowa, Seward, Ne hraska or Waupaca, Wisconsin. As they look over the Alaska scene, the editors may be puzzled by number of things. They will be informed on the one hand that Alaska's greatest handicap is "ab- sentee ownership" and on the other hand that Alaska's greatest need is the investment of capital from outside"
 Many if not all of the editors have no doubt been troubled at one time or another by an actual or threatened shortage of news print On their trip they will travel nearly the length of Tongass Ma tional Forest, which could supply raw material for the manufacture

The State Department is dis
tributing to Is nations this weel
a completed American draft of 6
Japanese peace treaty. These ma.
tions are being invited to state
their reaction and propose, al
soon as possible, any changes they
may want.
State Department officials hope
that within about three months
an agreed treaty draft may result
from the formal negotiations now
getting under way.
Some difficulties are foreseen
however. since Australia and New
Zealand are worried about pos
sible future Japanese rearming
the Philippines have insisted or

to curtail the Japanese shipping

Russia is one of the countries
receiving a copy of the United
States treaty draft, but is not ex-

strongly indicated they do not in
tend to cooperate with the other
World War II Allies on an early
peace treaty for Japan.

FEC Hints Movies May Lose
BY Not Cooperating With TV

The entertainment world today
was mulling over a warning to the
motion picture industry from the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion that it would do well to sup
ply better films and actors for ap-
Ipearances on television programs.
The FEC statement, issued yes
terday, put the movie studios on
notice that their chances of break
ing into the television field de-
Ipends largely on their co-opera-
ton with the newer industry.
There was also a thinly yelled
hint that antitrust action against
the studios is being considered to
break Hollywood's ban on releas-
ing latest films and contract stars
for TV appearances.
The commission statement noted
that many motion picture COM
panies refuse to make copies of
their films available for use by
television stations" and impose re-
striction on the use of stars, plays
and stories to which the studios
hold contract rights. The state
ment continued:
1--WE express no opinion at this
time as to whether such practices
are or are not in violation of the
antitrust laws. We do desire
however. to point out that whether
or not these practices are VIOLA
tionS of any law, they are consid.
cred by the commission to be rele.
