 WASHINGTON. = Writing this column for Drew Pearson today instead of reading it, deprives me of a pleasure I enjoy each morn ing. For each morning I read the column to find out what his pre- dictions are on what we are about to do-and surprisingly enough sometimes the predictions have been right. Occasionally, reading the column is not a pleasure for it steps on the toes of some of my friends. But guess no one likes to see his friends unhappy.
 Generally, however, I enjoy the column because of it's hard-driving support of the stabilization pro- gram which we feel is so right and so necessary. We appreciate this

Marines Fight. Off 5000
 Red Chinese

U. s. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD QUARTERS, Korea, Sept. 6-4R-An American unit was surrounded by thousands of tank-supported Chi nese Reds on the western front to- day but fought its way free after an 18-hour battle.
 American Infantrymen and sup porting airmen said they killed more than 400 of the 5000 at $ tacking Chinese.
 On the opposite end of the front North Korean Reds drove US. Ma rines back 400 yards on the northern edge of the Punch Bowl, 20 miles north of the 38th parallel. The leathernecks counterattacked and regained the lost ground.
 Chinese attacking on the long quiet western front, seven miles north of parallel 38 were supported by eight tanks. One intelligence officer said 20 Russian-type tanks were seen in the area.
 The fight began Wednesday mid night and continued into Thursday night when the LIN. force fought it's way clear. It took out its wounded on tanks and armored vehicles.
 One Allied officer said the abrupt attack by at least regi- ment of Reds might be the begin ming of a new offensive. An Eighth Army spokesman said it was too early to tell.
 Another officer suggested it was Red attempt to clean LIN. troops out of the "Trans-Imjim" area 30 miles north of Seoul in preparation for buildup for an ultimate Com muniSt offensive.

'pinth' Sfarfs For Civilians, Says Wilson
Mobilization Chief De- eIdres Arms BuiIdup His Quantity Sage

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-IR- Mobilization Chief Charles E. Will son today reported the arms build up is reaching the quantity-pro- duction stage and the pinch Is here now" for the civilian economy
 Wilson said the military pro- gram will add force to the infla- tionary pressure" in coming months but the rising weapons output is a favorable development.
 Tt is what we expected, what we hoped for" he said.
 Wilson made the statement in a news conference at which one of his chief lieutenants, Eric John ston, confirmed reports that he plar.-. to quit as. economic stabilf-, zation administrator reasonably soon after his agreed nine-month tour of duty ends on Oct. 24.
 Wilson's. reference to a civilian pinch" followed yesterdays order cutting use of steel for civilian goods to 58 per cent of pre-Kor- can war levels, effective Oct. l.
 The mobilization chief pointed out further problems-the very serious" matter of the copper strike which, he said, couldn't have happened at worst time; the necessity to produce machine tools costing $3,OOO 100000 by the end of 1853 for defense plants; and serious shortage of structural steel which will postpone much planned industrial construction.

Start Truce Elsewhere, Says Ridgway

TOKYO, Sept. 6-R-Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway told the Reds in a stinging note today that if they want to end the shooting in Korea they should agree to start truce talks anew somewhere else.
 The United Nations commander also brusquely told the Communists to stop their constant deceit and treachery" in manufacturing in cidents for false and malevolent" charges against the Allies.
 Almost simultaneously with deliv- cry of Ridgway's sharp note, Chinese Communists launched heavy tank supported attack on the west ern front. A front-line officer said it could be "a prelude to a major offensive"
 The Red assault on the long in- active front was only 25 miles from Kaesong. site of the disrupted armis- tice negotiations.
 Ridgway left it completely up to the Communists whether nego- tiations are resumed. But the JUN. commander made it clear the talks won't be at Kaesong.
 Ridgway's information office said Kaesonp is not a suitable site for afmistice discussions because it IS within Communist lines"
 A release by the information of- flee said the situation has reached a point where the question of the neutrality of the Kaesong zone has overshadowed the original purpose of the meetings"
 The Reds broke off the talks Aug 23 after charging the LIN. violated the neutrality zone.

 He got isolated applause from the Communist delegates and ad- visers-and loud explosion of ''boOs" from the spectator sec tiOns. The spectators were rep rimanded by conference vice. president Percy C. Spender of Australia.
 Altogether the day was one of the toughest a Soviet delegation ever experienced in public ses- sion of a major international meeting. In only two hours at the outset Gromyko lost the rules fight that had been expected to last all day at least. A tight set of rules limiting debate and barring changes in the treaty was adopted 48 to 3.

 FrOms Anchorage Oll Beg Galase Hunts, SHys Rhode

Moose and caribou hunting in the Anchorage area is a modern ized operation with at least 200 small private planes taking off daily for the hunting grounds, Clarence Rhode, regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service said today.
 He returned yesterday from Fair hankss Anchorage and northern Alaska where he has been on a ganis ssiftey.
 IT Faispay'es he said 25 special permits were issued for taking buffalo at Big Delta There were 842 applicants whose names were put into a hat and the lucky 25 drawn.
 Three hundred animals-extent of the herd is all the range can support, Rhode explained. This is the second year the service has allowed killing older animals un- der the special permit system. He said the herd will not migrate.
 "The country surrounding is mostly muskeg," he said, land the animals refuse to spread out over land on which there is no food.'
 He added that IT transplanted from Big Delta to the upper Cop per River last fall have spread over an area of about 150 miles. They were transported over the Alaska range by truck.
 Canadians Want ,
 He said the Canadian govern ment has requested five buffalo for planting in the White River district where it crosses into Can ada and the service will supply them as soon as practicable.
 Rhode flew over the Interior from Fairbanks to north of the Brooks range and from Umiat to Barter Island, encountering some of the worst weather he said he ever saw in the Interior.
 'In all the years lived in Fairbanks I never saw so much rain and fog" he said. On Aug. 29, while on a lake in the Brooks range, where he was surveying the sheep situation, he said four inches of snow covered the wings of his plane. He added it took him eight hours to fly from An chorage to Juneau yesterday = twice the time of a normal trip.
 Military Cooperation
 In speaking of the hunting sea son around Anchorage, Rhode said his department is receiving fine cooperation from the military General William E. Kepner, com mander of the Alaska command has assigned two men in the An chorage area and two around Fairbanks to work permanently on game conservation. InS addition about ten other men have been assigned to game law enforcement during the hunting season. They are equipped with vehicles and two-way radio to communicate with agents of the service.
 Most of the planes out of An chorage concentrate on the Mil china caribou herd at the upper end of the Glenn Highway, Rhode said. And besides the planes, there are literally hund- reds of cars parked along the road in the caribou country"
 Dall Sheep Lose"
 Rhode said that even the Dall sheep in the Brooks range were taking a beating" with modern transportation methods.

Russ War Warning Ignored; Delegates Will Sign Treaty, Some With Reservations

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6-tR- Ignoring Russia's warnings of a new gar in the Far East, a swell ing Procession of delegates march ed sfore the San Francisco con- t,ss6.ss' today and declared their intention to sign the Japanese peace treaty.
 The fourth plenary session end ed at 11:59 am. and will resume at pm.
 Just 24 hours after Soviet dep uty foreign minister Andrei Gromyko made his quickly-de- featcd attempt to stall the con- ference and derail the treaty, Fl Salvador's ambassador to Wash nigton, Hector David Castro, took the rostrum to praise the pact and announce his country would sign.
 He was quickly followed by Am bassador Wilhelm Munthe De Morgenstierne of Norway, Jacques M. Leger, Haitian minister of for eign affairs; Ambassador Moham- med Kamil Bey Abdul Rahim Egypt's envoy to the United States, Crown Prince Savang of Laos Indochina) and J. R. Jarewar- dene, finance minister of Ceylon.
 Reservations
 They all either stated or made clear their intentions to sign the pact. Some had reservations. Norway warned against too large an Antarctic fishing fleet for Japan; Egypt criticized territor- ial provision.
 The wave of speechmakins showed that Gromyko, who suffer- ed defeat after defeat Wednesday and struck back with a slashine attack on the treaty in late af- ternoon, had made little impact on the conference-except in the field of conversation and specula- ton.
 Gromyko called the treaty "an aggressive military alliance with the United States" and branded it a preparation for a new war in the Far East"
 Looks to Moscow
 But he took such battering on every move he made yesterday that some western delegates believed he might be seeking new instruc- tions from Moscow.
 Anything from walkout to. new and stronger threats of war III the Far East was considered pos sible for the Russians, and their Polish and Czech satellite delega- tions, in view of the situation which has developed here with ex- traordinary speed.
 Gromyko told the conference yesterday that what the United States and Britain are sponsor ing "is not a treaty of peace but a treaty for the prepara- ton of a new war in the Far East"
 Aggression"
 "The draft treaty." he charged, reading rapidly from his prepared speech, creates conditions for the establishment of Japanese mil itarism, creates a danger of a new Japanese aggression"
 Gromyko wound up his speech with proposal of 13 major amend ments to the British-American draft. These included provisions

that was enacted into law during the i949 special session.
 It officially recognizes publish ed annotated laws as the code of Alaska.
 Rep. Jack Conright D.-Anchor- age) who introduced the bill, ex- plained that the re-passage was considered advisable because of the cloud of doubt over the legal ity of the special session. The House approved the measure unanimously.
 Most of the Saturday morning and afternoon House sessions were devoted to a hearing on bills to increase unemployment com pensation benefits.
 John Mclaughlin, unemploy- inent insurance director, testified he believed there was sufficient money in the fund to care for in- creases adequately. Increase would raise benefits to $50 weekly from $25 and allow persons with de- pendents to draw up to 60 percent more than a single person in a benefit year.
 Some criticism was leveled by Fourth Division House members at testimony that the fund paid out $3 last year for each g taken in, and that 47 per cent of the payments went outside the Terri tory.
 The bills were to reach the floor for possible amendment attempts today. They were carried over to head the Monday calendar.

Oil Development Being Planned Near COrdOva

Continued from Page One) discovered oil seepages near the head of Katalla Slough in 1896.
 According to U. S. Geological Survey reports, 37 shallow wells were drilled on two unpatented mining claims between 1901 and 1882. Eighteen wells were placed in production ranging in depth from 366 feet to 1910 feet in depth. Many of the early wells were abandoned because of loss of drilling tools before they reach ed their objectives.
 The 18 shallow wells placed in production brought in approxim- ately 154,O00 barrels of high grav- ity, paraffin base oil, ranging from 4115 degrees to 45 degrees Baume. Most of the production wells and some of the non-producing wells yielded natural gas.
 '''The development of produc- ing field in the Katalla-Yagataga area can have a stimulating ef- feet on the progress of Alaska" Gellenbeck said.
 "As substantial part of the whole project is in the hands of Alaskan residents, a producing field will bring new wealth and new capital to the Territory. It can be the industrial revolution Alaska needs to forge ahead.
 Associated with the Northern Development Company in the project is Herb Hilscher of Fair banks. Abstract work was done by Cuddy and Kay, attorneys of Anchorage.
 Regarding actual drilling for large scale production, Gellen- beck said "Just as soon as we get the green light from the Land Of flee, we will talk turkey with the producers. The US. is 750,OO0 barrels of oil short per day, and new fields are needed now as never before"

INDUSTRY IS OUR STRENGTH

(By George s. Benson, President, Harding College) Communism cannot conquer the world unless it can first cripple American industry Stain knows this He knows that six years ago. at the height of World War H. American industry was producing as much war materi- al as all the other nations combined In fact American made tanks and planes and guns flowing to Russia help ed the Red Army hold Hitler at bay.
 It's doubtful that Red planes at this time could reach much of our industry with airborne atomic bombs. So Stalins present strategy almost certainly includes plan to sabotage industrial production-through cunning internal assembly line sabotage and parayzing strikes fOmented by Communists who have WOrmed into influential places within industrial employee groups If the "war for survival does come, strike shutdown of length in of key industries could possibly the difference between victory defeat
 In every nation outside the Iron Curtain the Con- munst Party membership both open and secret is con- centrated in industrial employee groups Probably they strongest in France, Italy and England where Com munst-led strikes which have fared up many times in the last few years have revealed their power to cripple industry But they in strategic positions here too According to the FB1, most of the 55 900 known Com munsts are depoyed in the industrial unions It is sig nificant to note that when the Communists took Russia in 1917 they did it with fewer party members in Russia than they have in the U. s. today.
 J. Edgar Hoover, FBI chief says 'The Communists, basic principle of nfltration interested in pos Sessng strength in heavy industry that s coal steel, rubber automobiles, etc It is here that in event of emergency, they can do their greatest harm More over, in these industries Communist Party member located in sraeoc lob Wreak damage completely out of proportion to his own strength" -
 '"I1rough this heavy-induStry concentration policy the Communists able to exercise power far in ex cess of their numbers the FBI chief said in inter view with the United States News In fact of the highest ranking leaders of Communism in the U S. has openly admitted The Communist Party bases its work
