Investigating (
 Aluminium Indus try For Alaska

un,lnur, r,: age One
 try would help increase Canada's aluminium production. r The Taiyaa ahydroelectric project would cost about $500, 1000 1000, produce 75O,000,000 pounds. of aluminium annually and support a community of possibly 40,00O' per- sons, officials have said.
 It involves tapping the headwa- ters of the Yukon River by means of two tunnels, bored through the Coast Range of mountains to emp ty into the Taiya Valley in South east Alaska, where the plant would be established.
 The Alaska development board, in a letter to the two Congress men, said the projects possibii- ties have been under consideration by the Aluminium Company of America since 1947.
 The board said it has learned that Alcoa is prepared to under take the project Eff granted gov ernment assistance comparable to that which is suggested would be given the Aluminium Company of Canada" in connection with it's proposed development at Kitimat, British Columbia.
 "We are advised" wrote George Sundborg, board consultant, 'that the only thing that makes possible the construction of Kitimat devel- opment is a contract reportedly negotiated between C. D. Howe, Canadian minister of trade and commerce and Charles Sawyer, U. S. secretary of commerce, for the future purchase by our govern ment of around one billion pounds of aluminium"
 Pointing out that one hitch in the Taiya development is the ne cessity of getting Canadian per mission to divert a portion of the Yukon River waters from the Yu- kon Territory and northern Bri- tish Columbia, Sundborg said any agreement for the purchase of Ca- nadian aluminium should be pre- ceded by engagement guarantee ing the necessary water rights to rlake the Taiya project possible.

 Back in the summer of 1888 at Randolph Field, San Antonio, Tex as, Cory, II years old and the son of technical sergeant at the field, was building a shed for a pet calf. He and friend, Walter Renn, would ride on their bikes to the Field to get old orange crates and boxes from kitchens to use for lumber.
 Most of the sentries were friend ly, although one day new sentry stopped them.
 Where you going with, those boxes?" he asked. The boys, ex- plained their project. When he .ac- cused them of stealing government issued property, theyrepNed: @No- body wants this stuff, besides it's not CT property.

 Professor Toynbee points out that major difference exists between the two countries account of Man. Russians have viewed with mixed feelings" the Chi neSe victories in Korea.
 This view representing personal opinion proof that such differences may the relationship between Soviet Russia and Communist China but it is based upon astudy of the history of the two countries including the steady effort of Russia acquire control of territories which the Chinese consider part of their nation.

Lifting Thel,i At Juneau

L N~O4AkAAASSOSA s4AA OAAA S&C OAAGt ritorial Legislature entered the third day of its 20th Session. A proposal to create a standing committee on stdtehbod and de- fense precipitated debate in the House yesterday, while, Senators again postponed a showdown vote for Senate president
 In the bitter undercover sug-of- war over the presidency-a battle that has split party lines wide Senators voted to adjourn to 3 pm. today, awaiting the ar rival of Sen. John .Butrovich R.- Fairbanks) from Seattle.
 Sen. Gunnard Engebreth R.- Anchorage) asked unanimous con- sent to continue "fair play" by de- laying a vote on the presidency until Butrovich arrives.
 Sen. Howard Lyng D.-Nome), a leading candidate, for President, adr1onished Senators to ''think this over carefully before delaying the vote again, but failed to get support from the, floor.
 Engebreth also is a. candidate for Senate president, as is Demo- crat Steve 'McCutcheon, of An chorage.
 Behind-the-scenes jockeying for the presidency is dominating the Legislatures first days. Some Sen ators think the complicated situ- ation may end with Republican decision to have Butrovich seek the presidency.
 Whether the Senate is organized or not, Gov. Gruening's message to the legislature will be delivered at 2::3O pm. tomorrow.
 The House had its first furry of debate over proposal by Rep. Jack Scavenius, O.-Ancohrage), to create committee on State hood and defense. On motion' of Rep. Glen Franklin D.-Boundary) the proposal was put over until 10 am. today.
 Scavenius said the proposed committee was desirable because national and Territorial defense is of paramount importance, and statehood is of utmost importance to defense.
 Rep. Doris Barnes R.-WrangelD argued that the statehood com mittee created by the 1949 legis- lature meets the need.
 Rep. Wendell P, Kay D.-An- chorage) argued that defense and Statehood are linked closely. He declared that materials for the proposed Skagway al u m n u m plan were refused because it was "not in a defensible area"
 Kay said the project planned by the Aluminium Company of Can ada in northern British Columbia was "less feasible than ,Skagway, and said if. Alaska had two Sena tors there is no question that the Board of Priorities would have granted priorities. and Alaska would sbe on the way to acquiring a major industry.
 The first two bills were intro duced in the House yesterday. Number one, by Rep. George Gas ser R- -ColleEeo, would appropri- ate $4;690f for. a soil conservation board. Number two, by Reps Kay, ae,sl -1ss

BEHIND MasARTHUR's DISMISSAL

Having just concluded a great
debate over foreign policy in
Europe, the American people are
now launched upon another over
Asia. This one is dramatized and
sharpened by G eneral Mac
Arthur's dismissal. 1t is embitt-
cred n d confused by personal
and partisan conflicts. But behind
h e lie a question of funda-
mental policy. 1t is bigger than
General Macarthur, bigger than
President Truman.
In the h eat of the hour the
most useful thing we can do is to
try to examine dispassionately
the chief facets of the contro.
versy and broaden our grasp of
the central sue. The Mac
Arthur Truman differences in
volved three questions.
One was over the relative i'm
portance of Asia and Europe. As
early as 1912 General Macarthur
felt that the bulk of American
forces should be given to him to
press the war in the Pacific. To-
day he believes the Communist
effort centers in Asia. In these
views t h e general differs not
only with Mr.. Truman and his
advisers but with the leaders Of
nearly all Americas non-Com-
munist Allies.
The same holds true in a Sec
ond difference-over methods of
conducting the world struggle
against communism. G e ner a
Macarthur approaches it as a
military problem primarily. to be
solved by military action. His
opponents recognize the Necessity
for building military defenses,
but they consider h e struggle
basicaliy one of ideas.
They believe that fundament-
ally the struggle is to be won by
advancing concepts of freedom
and justice and demonstrating
effective friendliness for oppress-

ed Or backward peoples. Specifi-
cally Id Korea they have sought
to halt sggression and establish a
free government. They count the
'firstain as achieved and they
still hope to succeed in the Sec
ond without carrying the fighting
outside Korea and attacking the
Chinese people.
Aside from the military risks
of such a Notwithstanding
begged down in the vast morass
Of China and the possibility that
Russia would throw it's powers
openly into Korea in fullfillment
of its mutual defense treaty with
China-they believe such an at
tack would rally the Chinese
people behind t h Red regime.
They hope the Chinese, already
restixe under the Moscow yoke,
will either free themselves from
the Chinese Communists or force
them to break with Russia.
The third difference was one of
authority-chain of command.
General Macarthur held a unique
place. In Japan he exercised vast
political as we'll as military
powers. He has been a brilliant
and glamorous figure operating
in the style of a viceroy.
He has made political state
ments n d carried on CORE
spondence with politicians in a
manner that would not be toler-
ated in an ordinary field COM
mander. Increasingly his opposi-
ton to the policies laid down by
the President and the State De-
partment has been used in par
tisan debate. Beyond that it has
lately become plain that he was
out of sympathy with the mill
tary instructions given him by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff indeed,
opposed to their basic view of
strategy in Korea.
The situation had become such
that the United States was
speaking with two voices on ma
tional policy and military meas
ures. Moreover, tn e UN COM
mander in Korea was evidently
not in sympathy with UN aims
there poorly defined as they are.
The situation could be cleared up
only by a decision on one side or
the other. U n e the basic
policies of the United States and

young Behrends at the Sitka Trading Post They had great deal of confidence in the young merchant and urged him to strike out for himself in his own store although they discouraged the location of the new store twhere Bert's stands) the grounds that it was far from the business of town
 But when the twenty y-seven- year old merchant op ened the new store, the miners beat path to its doors Behrends outfitted and supplied the miners to their complete satisfaction and became the confidant of many of them and custodian of their money and valuables After several miners cabins burned, de- stroying all their contents, Behrends ordered iron safe with a combination lock probably the first in the Territory.

 He added that Alaska has been good to his com- pany that his company wishes to do what it can for Alaska and for instance gives scholarships to students attending the University of Alaska. Standard Oil also has plants at spots in Alaska that don't pay for the installations "The communities need the fuel so we continue the service MT Stretton said
 We appreciate what MT. Stretton says about Juneau and what Standard Oil does for Alaska.

SUSPECTED CONSPIRACY

These strikes have the earmarks of not being entirely coincidental The exact engine types produced by the struck plants cannot be pub lished, but they are so vital that aircraft production has been ser iously crippled.
 In order to keep other plants from shutting down, the Air Force has accepted airframes without en- zines and other key parts. Mean while, total plane production has fallen to almost half the monthly goal set by the President
 The aviation industry isn't the sole source of labor trouble, how ever. Six major work stoppages have also occurred at the $500,00O 900 atomic energy plant at Paducah, Ky.
 Another reason for tagging de- fense production is that structural steel has been going into civilian construction instead of building de- fense plants. Also the nation is seri- ously short of machine tools. Labor, incidentally, is reported to be burn ed up at the new tax bill which is full of loopholes for certain taxpay- CTS.
 With American boys dying in Korea and this country's very ex- istence threatened by Soviet atomic power, it is time for management to give up fat war profits and labor to forget it's squabbles.
 Note-If the strikes continue. the Defense Department will ask the President to appeal in the name of patriotism for no-strike pledge in key defense industries.

BEHRENDS-A JUNEAU TRADITION

The story of the B. M Behrends Company is the story of Juneau the story of the firm and the city that grew up together.
 In the early eighties, when B. M Behrends rived here Juneau in it's infancy Less than five years had passed since Dick Harris and Joe Juneau had first discovered gold in Silver Bow Basin. The famous Treadwell Mine had been in operation but two or three years. Sitka was the capital of the Territory and mails still being carried between the towns by
 Like most of Juneaus founders young Behrends came by way of Sitka. He managed the Stka Trading Post for it's owner, former Governor Brady, on the present site of the Thomas Hardware Company.
 Most of the city's early residents were miners and prospectors who had found their way from the western United States and the oregon Territory to the Cassar fields to Wrangell Sitka and finally Juneau These were the men who had business with
