10000 Fresh Red
 Troops Digging in

US. 9TH ARMY HEADQUAR- TIERS, Korea, Aug. 30 - R = Ten thousand fresh Communist troops today dug ipto the jagged hills of eastern Korea behind their attack ing comrades.
 Reds hurled three small, savage assaults at United Nations troops north of Yanggu. All were beaten back.
 To the north, U N. warplanes tore up rails and road beds in their de- termined effort to cut Communist supply lines. Pilots reported they destroyed or damaged 62 box cars and cut roadways in 67 places after night attacks knocked out 270 trucks.
 A fresh Communist division - about 5000 men = was observed dig ging in northeast of Yanggu, which is 27 miles from the eastern tip of the front. The division, presum- ably North Korean. was in hills just north of the scene of recent bitter clashes.

Dewey Calls for Drawing 5tritf Line Aqainsi Communists Finds Alaska Housing,
 Rentals 'FrighffuI'-
 Defenses Tough

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-lR-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. back from a tour of the Far East. says the United States should draw a line and let the Communists know what we will do if they cross it."
 He said southeast Asia is "the natural target for the Communists next drive"
 Our immediate and critical necessity" he says, "is to build a total policy for free world of Asia"
 In Seattle yesterday, Governor Dewey described as "frightful" the quality of housing and rental costs he found in Alaska.
 There are military personnel living in houses in Alaska that would be condemned anywhere in the states" the New. York chief executive said. 'In Kodiak I saw dozens of barracks built during World War II that are just fall ing apart. They could easily be used for good housing.
 I'm going to look into that" he added.
 He said more radar and ground forces are needed in Alaska to screen the continental US. from long range bombers based in Siberia. Otherwise, Dewey said, Alaska ap- pears well defended now, but he added that more must be done to guard it's coastlines against enemy attack.
 "Alaska's present defenses would give any attacking enemy a tough time," the governor said. That doesn't mean that enemy forces could be repelled. There are 10000 miles of coastline in Alaska. But it would be an extremely costly act on the part of the Russians to try tsa tsa capture ea,pstttssre Alaska from Siheria "

'0Id' Board
 Meets 10 0kay Ads of New
Attorney General Won't 1 Recognize New 0ne-1er ritoridI Bldg. Approved

To ratify actions of the new Board of Administration, created under the Reorganization Act pass ed by the last legislature, meet ing of the "old" board was held in the office of Gov. Ernest Gruening this morning.
 Among the actions taken was ap- proyal of the new Territorial build- ing, he said. However. the Governor said, Territorial Treasurer Henry Roden, secretary of the board which met this morning, kept the minutes and could furnish full information on what transpired.,
 Roden said he would have the minutes written up this afternoon and would give press release to- morrow.
 Present at the meeting were the governor as chairman, J. Gerald Williams. attorney general; Henry Roden, treasurer: Neil Moore, aud- itor; and Everett Erickson. commits sioner of education. Frank Metcalf, highway engineer, also a member of the board, was out of town.
 These men comprise the Board of Administration as created by Chap ter 86 during the 1883 session of the Alaska legislature.
 The new board, created under the last session of the legislature consists of the governor, the at- torney general, the tax c0mmis- si0ner, two members of the House of Representatives and two mem bers of the Territorial Senate.
 Legality Questioned
 At a meeting of the new board in July a resolution was passed ap- proving construction of the Alaska office building, at which time At torney General Williams advised members it would be wise to secure the approval of the 1883 board in order that there would be no ques- ton of legality of the action.
 Williams still maintains there is
 
 but one board.
 'Tn my opinion" he said this morning, "the so-called new board Is illegal and legal action can be taken only by THE board of ad- ministrat tion!w 9ak
 It was reported that the board also this morning unfroze the bal ance of $250. 900 appropriation for all eommunity-owned hospitals. This money was frozen following the 1949 session of the legislature when pros- pective revenues for the Territory did not meet money appropriated.
 Hospital Private
 Moore, when asked if this would include the Seward hospital, for which he disallowed voucher of $82,070 last week. for construction of nurses home said:
 Vouchers turned into me listed the owners of the hospital as the Methodist Board of Missions and as long as the hospital is under private ownership I cannot. under law, re- lease the money. If and when the hospital is turned over to the muni- cipality the money will be paid to the city of Seward"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-'h- Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalie said today some prices may go up even if Congress changes the ec- onomic controls law as President Truman requests. S
 But, he told the Senate Banking Committee, elimination of the three provisions which MT. Tru- man has bitterly denounced would give the Office of Price Stabillza- tion a workable program"
 DiSalle and mobilization chief Charles E. Wilson were lead-oiI witnesses in the administration price boosts for manufacturers and dealers and ban livestock slaughter quotas. .
 Wilson warned of mounting n- flationary pressures and appeared to the Senators for "the strongest and most effective law you can give us."
