ALLIES IN BIG SMASH,
 NEW FRONT
Aim 10 Kill, Maim or Cdp- lure All Reds in Mired
 Mountains, Valleys
By Associated Press

Allied forces smashed nortllward today on a 60-mile rainswept front aiming to kill. maim or capture all Reds in the mired mountains and valleys of Central Korea.
 Advances in this new offensive operation killer" ranged up to 12 miles on the East-Central sector and up to 3ia on the Central Valley, north of Wonju.
 Resistance was spotty most of the day but was stiffening at dusk as Allied spearheads neared the main forces of the dug-in Chinese and North Korean Reds. An estimated 10000 Reds are south of Parallel 38.
 The Allied objective is to wipe them out.
 Weather Rotten
 Gen. Macarthur announced the new offensive today. An Army spokesman called it "a vital phase of the Korean campaign" First resistance was spotty. with the greatest obstacle, poor weather = rain, mud, snow, and fog. The Chinese and North Korean troops fought and ran, some of them in panic.
 American. British, Australian, New Zealand and South Korean troops teamed up on the ground in the killer drive In the air planes of the U. s. Air Force, Marine, Navy, from Australia and South Africa found holes in the clouds and plast- cred Red targets.
 Arc at Front
 The front was an arc from near Yangpong, 27 miles east-southeast of Seoul. to Pyongchang, on the East-Central sector The biggest Red force was dug in the mountains about six miles north of Wonju, 25 miles west of Pyongchang.
 AP Correspondent Stan Swinton said big battle appeared in the offing for Hoengsong, 10 miles north of Wonju. The Allies were applying a pincher move on the town.
 Formosa Issue
 Informed sources in Tokyo de- clared that the prospect of using Chinese Nationalist troops in Korea remains a live issue. The inform ants said this had no connection with the visit to Formosa of Vice. Adm. Arthur D. Struble. U. s. 7th Fleet commander.
 But on Formosa itself the Chi nese Nationalists were afraid the Reds might do little invading of their own Air raid tests were held throughout Northern Formosa in preparation for repe1ling Red in- yasion of the last fortress of Chiang Kai-Shek feared with the coming of favorable weather.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-tR-The The Soviet Union now has a fully armored or mechanized force of 35 divisions in East Germany and Poland alone, the State Department says, and has restored East Ger many railways which would serve as supply lines from Russia in the event of war.

 The Departments Office of Pub lie Affairs gave this information in an official publication yesterday picturing the background of recent Soviet pressures on Germany.
 The report came just when the Big Four powers appeared to be nearing agreement on plans for a peace" conference. It is not known whether Russia really wants Big Four meeting. Unless the powers can agree on discussing basic dif- ferences other than Germany there would be little point in meeting, it said.

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 22 -lR-Sen. Herman Welker (R-Idaho) told the Idaho Legislature today he was not going to vote to send billions of dollars abroad until "our first line of defense-Alaska" has been pro vided for.
 Addressing joint session of the Idaho Legislature after a recent tour of Alaska, the Idaho junior senator said he found "a mandate to the United States to make liv- ing conditions better for our troops in the Alaskan theater."
 At another part of his speech Senator Welker said "The Ameri- can boy will see to it that if Joe Stalin should ever make an aggres- sive move, we'll blow him off the face of the earth"
 He dwelt at length on the truly shocking" living conditions he said he found in Alaska and the hard ships under which troops live and work in that theater.
 T was the first U. s. Senator to visit that theater in the winter time when the temperatures were 52 degrees below zero" he said.
 He added that he was mot an iso- lationist = I don't know what the word means.

 VASHINGTON-The bitter TOW over labor participation in the mo- bilization picture boils down partly to a clash with Gen. Lucius Clay, former military governor of Ger many, now right-hand man to de- fense mobolization czar Charles E. Wilson. There is also a lot of peeve against Harry s. Truman per sonally.
 Clay, a hard-hitting, hard-work- ing army officer, accustomed to giving and taking orders was con- tinually clashing with civilians when he served as right-hand man to war mobilizer Jimmy Byrnes in World War II. Later, while in Ger many, he established what is prob ably record for any American official. He cabled his resignation to the State Department as Mili- tary Governor of Germany three times in one day.
 Illustrative Of Clay's difficulties with labor leaders is one backstage indicent involving the appointment of a manpower commissioner.

REC OFFICIAL DENIES WAS
 pRE55UR|zED

WASHINGTON, Feb. g. = R- William E. Willett, a member of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration Board, swore to Senate investigators today he never con- sciously yielded" to influence in his decisions on REC loans.
 q want to point out that every one in government service is oc- casionally subject to influence and probably on occasion to improper influence" he told Senate Bank ing Subcommittee.
 But I have never consciously yielded to such influence in any respect"
 Willett denied specifically that Donald Dawson, a White House aide, or E. Merl Young, whose wife is a White House stenographer, can or do influence him.
 The Banking Subcommittee, headed by Senator Fulbright eD- Ark), said in a report to the Senate earlier this month that Willett and some other REC directors had been influence by Dawson and Young. President Truman called the report asinine. The subcommittee then ordered the present hearings, frankly as a rebuttal to the Presi- dent.
 Young swore he has never re- ceived a fee or commission in con- nection with any REC loan. He denied under oath testimony by Ross Bohannon, a Texas lawyer, that Young once asked him for S85 .O00 fee to be influential" With the REC.
 "One of these two men is liar" stormed Senator Tobey R-NH) ,, participating in the hearings.

AT0MIC-p0WERED FLIGHT GETTING
 CLOSE, E REPORT

WASHINGTON. Feb 22.-lR-The governments efforts to build an atomic-powered airplane passed to- day from the sliderule to the draft ing board stage.
 Yet to be undertaken is the actual construction of an atomic engine and then the aircraft itself.
 That is what the Air Force and Atomic Energy Commission meant today in announcing the comple- ton of their "NEPA" project.
 ''NEPA" stands for nuclear energy for propulsion of aircraft.
 The first phase of the project was devoted almost exclusively to mathematical computations and theoretical possibilities. It required more than four years.
 There has been no word on how long the next phases might take. However. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg. Air Force Chief of Staff. has said atomic-powered flight is closer than most people realize.
 A joint Air Force-AEC statement today on the conclusion of the "NEPA" phase said "other projects being supported by the Air Force and the AEC in the field of nuclear power flights will be continued"

PROBE IN (HARCE5IN
 REC LOANS

WASHINGTON, Feb. g -R- A Frazier Corp. vice nresi- dent testified today his firm was told it could get easier terms on a big government loan if it hired Will liam M. Boyle, Jr., Democratic Ma tional chairman, as counsel.
 Chad Calhoun, the Kaiser Frazier executive gave his testimony to Sep- ate investigators as a secondhand account of suggestion he said was made to Edgar Kaiser, the companys head.
 The suggestion, as Calhoun re- ported it, came from Rex Jacobs, a Detroit industrialist, at a time the Kaiser Frazier firm was hav- ing difficulty obtaining govern ment loan to finance it's automo- bile manufacturing.
 Investigating Charges
 The subcommittee is investigating charges of political favoritism and influence in the making of Recon struction Finance Corporation R- FC) loans.
 Earlier, a director of the REC admitted giving a special break to the loan application of a personal friend who recently became an REC director himself.
 William E. Willett, the director. told the committee he departed from the usual procedure "as personal favor" to c. Edward Rowe, the loan applicant who subsequently, was named to the REC board last Sep tember.
 Another Deal
 Willett said he perSonnaly assign ed the REC examiner who made the recommendation on a $300,000 loan the REC board made last April 10 to the Harrington and Richards Arms Co.,, of Worcester, Mass, of which Rowe was principal owner.
 When Senator Douglas (D-IlD asked Willett if he had not "de- parted from the usual procedure" in personally assigning the exam iner, Willett answered:
 "Yes, sir it is very unusual did it as personal favor to Judge Rowe. Judge Rowe has been a personal friend of mine for years"
 Willett maintained the loan to Rowe's arms company was a good one. He pointed out it has been repaid in full.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 --R- The Senate Armed Services Pre- paredness Subcommittee said today all-out war with Russia would force this country to abandon certain iso- lated areas of Alaska It gave assurance however, that critical areas can \. held" The subcommii lee said 1t appears reasonable to assume that little could be done to protect the Seward Peninsula area from either bomb ing or actual invasion if the Rus sians so desired" It was the only specific reference made by the sen ators to areas within either cate gory
 A 120-page report prepared by the subcommittee three-man Alaska Task Force stated:
 Realistic Plan
 "The military in Alaska, within the limit of the forces made avail able is embarked upon a realistic plan for the defense of the Territory"
 But, the senators added, there is , need for additional combat and service troops and more airpower.
 Service troops" the report con- tinued, "are inadequate to properly support the forces in the area plus the remaining increments of the authorized establishment. They are nowhere near adequate to support an increased effort in the event of the emergency movemnt of troops to Alaska"
 Military Alert
 The Task Force, headed by Sen ator Hunt D-Wyo) and including Senators Morse (R-Ore) and Sal tonstall (R-Mass) has been study ing the Alaska program since last fall. It spent six days in the Terri tory and conducted other studies here
 Declaring it found the military establishment alert and ready for any eventuality, the Task Force as- certed that If the present state of alertness and vigilance is main tained, there can be no Pearl liar bOr in Alaska"
 Despite this, however, the report stated that the defense program was crippled by numerous factors.
 Housing Bottleneck
 Housing appears to be the big bottleneck,' Hunt explained. The little bottlenecks within the big one are scarcity of labor, unreason- ably high costs of construction and transportation, outrageous costs of living, and strangling amount of governmental red tape upon which the whole program exists"
 Citing 47 individual steps which

the Task Force found to be re- quired between the initiation of a project and the contract award, Hunt said:
 Red Tape Dangerous
 Red tape along with Red Russia can be a dangerous foe.'
 The Task Force reported:
 Family quarters for military per- sonnel are sufficient to meet only IT per cent of the total require ments. Accommodations for bach elor officers and unmarried enlist ed personnel fill only 35 and 45 per cent, respectively, of the need.
 Military or civilian personnel renting quarters off base pay "as high as $50 per month for one room shack without bath, water or refrigeration"
 L5st-Plus Syster
 The s&.ae shortage exist. n pow CT and -.eating plants, hospitals, hangars, runways. roads and "aI necessary requirements of bal anced defense program"
 The report placed the blame for high construction costs in part upon the Army's use of a cost-plus fixed-fee basis to award construc- ton contracts. It said that since abandonment of that procedure ir mid 1049, houses which had cost in the vicinity of $28625 plus govern ment-supplied materials have been built for approximately $11,975 plus materials.
 No Military Reserves
 The Task Force said it found less than LOGO of the Territorys approx innate 126,c0o population to be par ticipating in the National Guard and various military reserve pro grams, and urged that the Defense Department develop a properly CO., ordinated program and take im- mediate steps to put it into oper- ation.
 It recommended a high priority for construction projects at the military port of Whittier Port fa- cilities at Seward should be main- tained "at no less than present op- erating capacity" Decks in the lat ter terminal should be repaired
 Railroad Phase
 The rail connection between Sew ard and Portage, which the Alaska Railroad has indicated it would like to abandon. should not be dis continued without the prior ap- proval of Congress, the report as- serted.
 The Task Force also proposed that the Alaska Railroad be per mitted to credit into it's accounts the cost of services rendered purely
