VA ADVISORS TO STRESS MANPOWER NEEDS

Veterans who undergo advise ment and guidance at Veterans Administration offices are given up-to-date information on em- ployment prospects in the light of the nations manpoWer needs, based on a checklist recently distributed to VA field offices.
 The list includes nearly 100 essential occupational fields. In case America launches a full scale mobilization of manpoWer, these fields either would need large numbers of new workers or additional trained personnel just to maintain effective em- ployment levels.
 The list is of greatest value, the VA said, in helping a vet eran choose between an objec- tive that best serves the nation al defense interests and one that does not-When his capabilities would be suitable to both.

ALASKA CENSUS

Final figures for the popula- ton of Alaska as of April l of this year reveal an increase greater than any state in the Union for the 194O-195O period.
 California with 53.3 per cent increase is the closest to Alaska but even then is 241 per cent below Alaska's growth of TIA per cent from 72,524 to 128,643. Arizona, Florida and Nevada ranked below California with 501 per cent, 46.1 per cent and 452 per cent increases re- spectively.
 The increase for Seward is about 54 per cent for the 10- year period.

up to the individual community as to just how much it can do for itself We have been assured that there will be no protection from the military, except that offered to the Territory as whole. Tn Korea, the policy seems to be the withdrawal of troops from areas which cannot be defended. If that should be the military policy for Alaska, then what sort of Civil De- fense' can the city offer its peo- pie except personal survival?
 Recommendations made by Col. Alexander, Territorial Chief of Civil Defense, have been car ried out, but no further com munications have been received, as to added programs. According to the Colonel The Alaska Rail- road has been given the respOn- sibility of providing food and medicines in case of emergency therefore it was unWise and unnecessary for communities to attempt such a problem.
 Evacuation was also drowned upon, yet, plans are in progress for the evacuation of women and children from the Anchorage area. One doesn't know what to think, or what to do. Until some better coordination of the pro- gram is made on a higher level, it looks as though it is every community for itself
 Responsible citizens here are becoming restive and within the next ten days, more definite word may be available on a definite program. The existing committee under Pat Began has not been idle, however. The air raid and fire siren has been in- stalled, synchroniZed with the fire siren. Auxiliary water sup ply is now available by means of a special valve installed in the Lowell Creek line, which will throw that water into the city lines in case of fire.
 The city has been laid off in blocks with wardens ready to be notified of appointment, after screening by security agents. Red Cross classes are being ar ranged in first aid and home nursing. But there is much yet to be done.
 We are not the only city that finds itself behind in prepara- tion. It is the general cry throughout the nation. Such pre- paration costs money, and ii none is to be forthcoming by fed eral assistance, Seward citizens may be called upon to foot the bill for our own protection and, after all, why not? It's your safety and mine at stake. Ii we cannot wait for Washington, let's S do it ourselves. Alaskans always l bovo. 1Eo can now

Seward seaport record., 1951-01-05

Many questions have been asked recently concerning Civil Defense, and what Seward is doing toward it.
 As I see it, the whole question while vital to Seward and it's people, is one which is being de- bated, but with little conclusive results in all parts of the coun- try.
 Quoting from Civil Defense police statement of the Ameri- Municipal Association" as read in it's entirety to the Senate Sub committee on Civil Defense:
 We accept the declaration of the National Security Resources Board that an effective civil de- fense is a vital element in our system of national security.
 There can be no effective civil defense organization in the US. until all the people are made aware of it's importance to the security of their communi- ties, the people must be made to understand that civil defense ranks with the Army, Navy, Air Force and the productive ca pacity of the nation as an es- sential part of the national se- curity program.
 The only way to convince the American people that this is necessary and requires their personal participation and sup port is to give them the import ant facts about the real, funda- mental character of the national emergency in terms they can understand and accept.
 Then they will do whatever is necessary not only for survival but for victory.
 Knowledge of h e facts which the people must have is the EXCLUSIVE property of the federal government. Only the highest level of federal author ity has the facts, and 1t is only from this same level of federal authority that the people will accept the facts and act on them No amount of salesmanship by governors, and mayors can com mand he support of the people of this country for civil defense Given the necessary degree oi public understanding and sup port, we can and will proceed with the organization of our local programs much more rap idly than has been possible up to this time.
 Bringing this down to the local picture, it seems that we are in exactly the same position as all cities Outside. Federal aid is proposed on the State level but absolutely no assistance is offered for cities of all sizes which leaves them in all circum stances dependent upon their State governments for the trans mission of information from fed eral sources and for all contacts with the Civil Defense Admin. istration. The policy is carried so far that the legislation recom- mended to Congress would liter ally make it impossible for the federal GOA to deal directly with any city, even critical target city.
 In the Territory, there being fewer communities, the situation should be easier to control from Juneau. It is, however, being left

to be very long. Matters Of po-
Icy and dogma will be brought
up and it is certain that some
very learned arguments will be
expounded in much detail. The
committee is said to have de-
cided to be so generous with its
time that not all the witnesses
can be heard before Congress
adjourns next year. Thus Mr..
Truman'S nomination of Gen.
Clark will not be acted on and
the whole matter will die with
expiration of the 82nd Congress.
But, while the appointment
of an ambassador to the Vati-
can will in fact be shelved, the
members of Congress still face
a harasSing quiz from religious
organizations in their country
which want to know definitely
how each individual Senator
particularly those who are up
for re-ele etion-stands on this
matter. This is probably the most
difficult tightrope walk poll
ticians have ever had to face.
The explanation given by some
that the Senate has nothing to
do with creation of a new en-
bassy-which is a question at
the discretion of the President
but can only decide on the
confirmation of the person pro-
posed by the President to be-
come the chief of a diplomatic
mission is not being readily ac-
cepted by the Catholic and Pro-
testant organized groups. They
want to know, regardless of this
loophole, how each member of
the Senate feels about the ap-
pointment of an ambassador to
the Vatican.

tight spot about answering such
questions. Next years election

Official Reply Called Misleading
Records of Testimony Made Before Congressional Committees
Contradict Shows Statement on Stoe Department Reds
David Lowrence:

To what extent have Commu-
nists and Communist sympa-
thizers inf1ltrated the United
States Government and particu-
larly the State Department in
recent years?
An answer to this question is
attempted in a speech by Chair
man Conrad E. Snow of the
Loyalty Security Board of the
State Department. He has made
some very significant statements
mentS which unquestionably
will attract the attention of
Congressional Committees as
they examine further what ap-
pears to be an official reply to
various charges leveled in recent
months.
The first point that strikes
the eye is the argument that,
even If there were Communists
or sympathizers in the State
Department, they did very little
harm at most. Here is the exact
language by Chairman Snow on
this point:
II can say confidently that
there are no known Communists
in Government. If there are any
secret Communists-Commu-
nists who join no Communist
fronts and speak no Communist
sentiments-of course I cannot
say. for they are not known.
The Hiss case and the case
of Judith Coplon in the Justice
Department have done more
harm in terms of public con-
f1dence than any harm Hiss or
Coplon ever did in the delivery
of classified papers. Both worked
in absolute Secrecy-their best
friends were ignorant of their
acts. Neither would have been
employed by Government for a
day after their acts were dis
covered. But a swallow does not
make a summer-neither do
these two cases make out an
tnflltration of Government by
Communists.
The foregoing assertion will
be challenged, and, in fact, is
contradicted by records of the
testimony made before con-
gressional committees.
Thus, the declaration that
Alger Hiss, for example. would
never have been kept in Gov
Evening star., 1951-10-30

jected much of this same pro-
gram; apparently he believes
that he or another Democratic
candidate can do it again.
Principally it appears that he
is much more concerned with
his own place in history than
with the fortunes of the Demo-
cratic Party. The grand strategy
he has outlined will cut deeply
into Democratic Party solidarity
which at the moment is not
particularly solid.
Probably his answer is that
Senator Byrd and others can
not be appeased or won over
no matter what sacrifices of
principle the President made.
In any case, Mr.. Truman pro-
poses to make none. He has a
program and he thinks it will
win with the voters over the
negativism of his opposition.
A surprising number of
people agree with him despite
present scandals in Washington.
They include Republicans and
account for the almost frantic
efforts to make Gen. Eisenhower
the Republican candidate. Only
the most dedicated Taft sup
porters look forward with
pleasure to the Senator tackling
a Truman on the rampage.
Mr.. Truman's defiance Of
Congress forebodes another
hectic year. With the program
he now intends to send to the
Hill, he can campaign but he
cannot govern with any pretense
of harmony.
