|NFLUENC CE, FAv0RITI5M CHARGED CAB

WASHINGTON April 4 -tR- A staff investigator for the Senate Small Business Committee said to- day an inquiry is being made into charges of Influence and favor tism" involving some past and pres ent members of the Civil Aeronau- tics Board (CAB).
 Lawrence Henderson. the invest igator, told reporter the charges are pretty sensational and three men have been assigned to find out whether there is any merit to them.
 But Committee Chairman Spark man (D-La) told a reporter later he was surprised to learn that Hen derson had raised the question of influence and favoritism.
 Not a single soul has mentioned any irregularity or suspicion of ir- regularity to me-" Sparkman said. But of course, if something like tlldO oliOulO Uc ullCOVClCQ, we u UuhC the appropriate action"
 Both Sparkman and Henderson agreed the inquiry stems from com plaints by non-scheduled airlines against CAB order restricting their operations. The non-s scheduled car riers contend the board, which makes rules for the aviation indus try, is driving them out of business to aid larger firms operating regu- lar services schedules
 The order, which the non-sched- uled airline operators have attack ed as a death warrant" forbids the non-scheduled carriers from making more than three flights a month between eight major cities.
 The order was scheduled to go into effect April 6, but was post poned for month at the commit tees request
 The operators contend they were lured into the business by the gov ernment, which waged an intensive campaign to sell off war surplus planes suitable for passenger and cargo hauling.

DFA Regulations Alaska Fishing Protested
$2o0,o0O BOND
 ISSUE pR0p05ED
 BY SCHOOL BOARD

At special meeting of the school board last night it was proposed that a bond election be submitted to the people of Juneau for their approval or rejection to raise $200,- 900 to complete the new public school which is to be erected at 18th and Glacier Way. The election will take place in from three to four weeks.
 At a previous bond issue $750,000 was raised which, it was expected would be matched by Federal funds through the General Service Ad- ministration. However, as appro- priations have not been forthcom- ing, GSA is unable to make any commitments and the board voted last night to proceed with con- struction with what money is on hand.
 About $150000 of the $750,0 ,000 was used to buy the land on which the school will be erected. pay court costs, land clearing costs and other incidentals, leaving at present $600,- GOO for construction of the building. This, it is estimated, will construct the classrooms, but will not include the kindergartens, cafeterias, teach CTS rooms, nurses rooms, principals office or vault for school records.
 Therefore, the additional $200,00O bond issue was proposed to provide these necessities. It was thought that construction of this addition would be cheaper while the school itself is under erection, than it would be to add them at some fu- ture time.
 Valle and Sommers are con- tractors and construction is sched- uled to start as soon as weather permits.

Dou Musher from Alaska Welcomed af Home 1ownin
 Maine Affer His Long Trek

LEWISTON, Me, April 4-R-A royal welcome home today awaited Cecil A. (Musil) Moore at the end of his 6.000-miie dog sled trek from Alaska.
 The bearded traveller and his nine huskies trotted out of Gray in fine fettle for the last 20 miles of a trip begun in Fairbanks in Novem- Der, 1949.
 Two brass bands mustered to meet Mush, his dogs and a state police escort for a parade to the official reception at Lewiston City Hall
 Mayors Ernest Malenfant of Lew iston and Edward M. Field of Au- burn, other officials of the two cities and members of the Lions Club were the welcoming delega- tion.
 Moore undertook his cross-con- tinental journey to raise money for the Lions underprivileged chil- dren fund.
 He sloshed from Portland to Gray yesterday in a driving rainstorm. His drenched dogs were sheltered for the night in Frank Lunch's barn.
 All the way from Alaska his trip was a triumph over nature.
 But he didn't count on frigid Alaskan temperatures, sizzling Min nesota heat, a siege of grippe, 40 pups born to his sled dogs during the trip. or an attack by wolves in Canadian wilderness.
 One thing Mush did count on was the absence of snow along much of his route. He equipped his sled with both runners and rubber wheels.
 He began his journey with II dogs. One was killed in the wolf attack just after he left Alaska. Another fell victim to a North Dakotan rattlesnake. The nine others were with him all the way.
 Sam Michael, Moore's manager and past president of the Lions Club, said sale of cacheted envel- opes carried on Moores sled will raise a fund, as planned. Also Moore plans a lecture tour.
 "The trip so far has not brought in any money, in fact it has not paid expenses by any means, Michael said.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

Copyright. 1851. oy Bell Syndicate Inc. " ASHINGTON.-The Washing ton rumor factory is probably the most active and the most irrespon- sible in the world. Tales cooked ur Tn Capitol Hill Hobbies, the drawing rooms of high society or in a taxi cap conversation are spread as fact within a matter of hours.
 The story that the late Frank lin Roosevelt was insane and had to be chained to his bed at night was good example. One confidential news agency believed it to the ex- tent of relaying it to it's many thousand customers.
 Latest Washington canard is that Secretary of Defense George Mar shall is in his dotage and unable to come to his office more than half a week.
 On the contrary, I can state that Marshall. though 70, is probably in better health than before his kid- ney operation, gets to the office before 8 am, has the papers read and sent out of his office by around 8:20 a.m., and puts in full six day week, working even on Sat- urday.

COL. JOHN MOVES
 BACK FROM VISIT
 EASTERN COLLEGES

Col. John R. Moves, of the Alaska Road Commission, returned to Jun
 eau Monday after a two months
 trip in eastern states.
 Purpose of his trip was to recruit
 engineering personnel for the Alaska Road Commission to take care of
 increased operations of that depart
 ment which have occurred the past
 year.
 Col. Moves visited various colleges throughout the eastern states inter- viewing graduate and near-graduate engineers. He also had loan of the Alaska Development Board film l Alaska, U.S.A." and made 20 show ings of it which, he said, resulted in great interest in the Territory not only among young college men but also with the general public. At the same time that Moves was covering the eastern states, H. B Schultz, bridge engineer for the de- partment, was on a similar mis- sion in the midwest and George Tapley, who is still in the states is covering the far western states Both men also had copies of Alas ka, U.S.A."
 Appropriation Bill In Washington, D. O., Col. Moves attended hearings at the House of
 Representatives on the appropria- ton bill for the Department of In- terior and attended many other meetings and conferences in the in- terest of his agency. He was in the Capital during the welcome of President Auriol and his wife on their arrival from France. Asked if the recent cut-back of steel, copper and other critical ma- teriaIs had affected his operations, Col. Moves said:
 Tt definitely has. We are making every effort to build up our person. mel and obtain road and bridge equipment to supply our needs, and although we are making progress, we are not out of the woods yet. " While in the east Col. Moves took
 leave of absence to visit his family in Oneida, N. Y. Mrs. Eoyes will remain in the east for some time.

The paratroopers are support ed by battery of 105-mm airborne Howitzers and a platoon from the 307th Airborne Engineers, also from Fort Bragg.
 They are staging somewhere in Canada. Where or when they will will drop in Alaska is the best kept military secret of the week.
 In the opening days mock war fare. the second attack came on Fairbanks military installations from a simulated flight of bombers which swung later against Ladd Air Force base. Officers said the warn ing system tipped off the defend- CTS again. Jet fighters intercepted the coming force and damaged one theoretically
