MEAT PRICES MAY SOON BE
 CONTROLLED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-R-Eco- homie Stabilization Administrator Alan Valentine said today "a big try" will be made "as soon as we can" to control skyrocketing meat prices.
 He hinted broadly that the ef- fort might be accompanied by ra- tioning and probably subsidies"
 "The real fact is we don't know to what extent meat prices can be controlled, but as soon as we can we'll make try at it, and it will be a big try" Valentine said
 This statement, made in an in- terview with the Weekly News Magazine "U. s. News and World Report coincided significantly with a speedup in the agency's drive to build up staff big enough for the gigantic job of controlling prices and wages. Valentine ordered the recruiting stepup.
 In promising an attempt at con- trolling meat prices, the FSA Chief indicated that he considered food costs a major obstacle in the path of possible new wage controls.
 Asked if "the lack of any control of meats makes it impossible to handle the stabilization of wages, he answered.:
 That's the point. Not impossible, but difficult"

U. N. FORCES RACE SOUTH;
 TIME GAINED
HoId d Off Overwhelming Hordes of Chinese 10
 Gain Road for Retreat
(By the Associated Press)

Allied rearguard forces yielded the ruins of Wonju to an over whelming horde of Chinese and North Reds today after bitter holding action that bought precious time.
 Red troops entered the burning road and rail center as LIN. forces withdrew to new positions.
 The Allies had fought fiercely for the city, 55 miles southeast of Seoul, to buy time for the main body of LIN. forces to retreat southwest ward from Seoul on the road lead ing to the southeast port of Pusan.
 A.P. Correspondent Tom Lambert reported in delayed dispatch that the main forces Sunday had pulled back south of Osan, 28 air miles south of Seoul.
 A later field dispatch reported the Chinese entered Osan Monday. It narrowed the gap between the Reds and LIN. forces falling back in Western Korea.
 That's 50 miles southwest or Wonju and on the main route from the burned and abandoned South Korean capital to Taejon and Pu- san. It was at Osan that the first American soldier to fight in the Korean war was killed last July.
 Wonju's defenders battled Satur- day, Sunday and Sunday night to keep the Red hordes from sweeping into the gateway city to the heart of South Korea. A web of roads lead from Wonju into the interior.
 Held at bay by the grim defenders were seven Chinese armies, possibly 210,00O men, and their Korean Red comrades.
 In the fight for time. B-29 Super fortresses raided Kimpo airfield, 12 miles northwest of Seoul, and Pyongyang, the Korean Red capi- tai. Allied naval units maintained their bombardments of supply points and communications lines on both coasts.
 In spite of this, military men in Tokyo noted that the Chinese op- erations timetable in Korea was equalling or exceeding that of the original North Korean tide at the beginning of the war.

The W ashington Merry Round
By DREW PEARSON
1851, Dy Bell Syndicate. IT

Copyright, 1851, py Bell Syndicate, Incl WAsH1NGToN-To understand fully the tragic headlines from Korea, it is necessary to know the main strategy being followed in the Pentagon Building, plus some of the differences between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and General Mac Arthur.
 One factor is that, whereas Joint Chiefs were lax in letting MacAr- thur spread his troops out over North Manchuria as easy prey to the Chinese last November, they are now leaning over backward to be tough. Some observers believe that if they had kept tighter checkrein on MacArthur last Nov ember, and a looser checkrein oh him now, things might be better. For today he is getting no rein- forcements from the United States. Second factor is that Pentagon leaders decided some time ago that our most practical move in Korea was to retire. While this was not a ard-and-fast decision, it prob ably explains our current withdraw alS.
 In brief, our policy is to let Mac

It has been estimated by people familiar with such matters that two years of trained, intensive and we'll directed effort will be required to bring forth an adequate constitu- ton for the new state.
 In Hawaii, which is also a cand1- date for statehood, they have long since completed their studies and drafted a constitution, so that in this as well as in many other re- spects Hawaii is far in front of Alaska in the running of this sweepstakes.
 And now, after a precious year and a half is forever crossed from the calendar, meeting of the Statehood Committee was called by Chairman Atwood for last Saturday ito consider plans to launch re- search program with view toward developing a fundamental principle for a state constitution, according to the press dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. - R - President Truman said today Rus sia's leaders are out ito take over the world step by step" and warned we will fight. if fight we must to keep our freedom and to prevent justice from being destroyed"
 In a personally delivered State of the Union" message to Congress Mir. Truman said, too. the United States is willing. as we have al- ways been, to negotiate honorable settlements with the Soviet Union. "
 But we will not engage in ap- peasement."
 MT. Truman's 3,500-word message was first of all a defense of his foreign policy which is geared to the idea of building American and Western European strength to the point where Russia will respect it.
 It was second of general out line of what has been done so far in the way of military mobilization and broad sketching of what is to come.
 Full Mobilization
 We are preparing for full war time mobilization, if that should become necessary" Mir. Truman said.
 AS part of that preparation, the President said he wants changes in the draft law, higher taxes, greater wage-price controls powers, i'm provement" of labor and farm laws. aid to education. and federal aid for training medical men and wo- men.
 Specific Proposals Coming
 He gave no details on any of these. Precisely what he proposes will come out piece-meal in special messages and through submission of specific legislative proposals to the Congress.
 MT. Truman omitted any specific mention of many of the proposals he has called the flair deaT-such as civil rights laws-which Congress in the past has refused to give him.
 But he emphasized the possible long range nature of the present era of tension and told the legisia- tors they should give continued at- tention to "the measures which our country will need for the long pull He continued:
 Social Insuy Lnce
 "To take just c'e example--We need to continue and complete the work of rounding out our system Of social insurance. We still need to improve our protection against un- employment and old age. We still need to provide insurance against loss of earnings through sickness, and against the high costs Of mod ern medical care.
 Above all, we must remember that the fundamentals of our strength rest upon the freedoms of our people"
 Gravest Task, History
 Solemnly. the President told the lawmakers they face "as grave a task as any Congress in the history of the republic"
 Emphasizing the uncertainty of the times ahead. he said:
 Peace is precious to us. It is the way of life we strive for with all the strength and wisdom we possess

Second of a Series)

Second of a Series)
 With the Alaska Statehood Con- rnittee now nearing the end of it's second year of existence, it is high time for it's chairman, Elder Robert Bruce Atwood, to climb out of his rose-colored ivory pulpit. lay off his excoriation of Senator Hugh Butler and other honest friends of Alaska, rawhide the members of his com mittee out of the underbruSh and set them to the task they were appointed to perform.
 The Statehood Committee was created by the 18th Legislature and set up primarily to gather or have gathered such information as would be helpful in drafting state con- stitution; to make studies of that information and of other state con- stitutions, and to draft a consti- tuition for the proposed state of Alaska
 Tn addition = secondarily and along toward the tail end of the enabling act the committee was given the prerogative of assisting the passage of statehood legislation in Congress.
 Now, in the nearly g months since the committee was created and the IS months since it became formally organized, it has ignored it's primary function-that of gath ering pertinent information and working it into a constitution.
 As to its secondary function-that of assisting in the passage of a statehood bill-the best that can be said of the committees efforts is that they have been a total and dismal fizzle.
 It is granted that the committee was handicapped when the Board of Administration showed jt5 very sizeable appropriation into the ice box soon after the legislature ad- journed in 1949. But big chunk of the appropriation was defrosted last year and at least 1000 was handed to the committee.
 What did the committee do with it? Well, they squandered large portion of it in hiring former gag writer for the Saturday Eve- ming Post to tout the statehood bill among the Senators. In so doing they gained no friends whatever for the cause of statehood and perhaps lost few.

4 NORTHERN NOTEBOOK
By BOB DE ARMOND

After his long neglect of the major business of his committee, it looks suspiciously as though the chair man is trying to kick up a little show of activity so he can put the bite on the coming legislature for another hunk of the taxpayers money.
 It is interesting to note also that members probably will dis cuss the feasibility of making some changes in the new legislation"
 The only major change that has had recent publicity is one to eliminate a clause prohibiting the creation of Indian reservations in Alaska by administrative depart ments. This is a change that IS going to find little favor with most Alaskans.
 This talk of changes in the legls- lation is an entirely different tack than the one sailed by some of the top members of the committee when they spoke their pieces last year at hearings on H.B. 331 of the Slst Congress-the Alaska statehood bill that passed the House and came to a timely and deserved death in the Senate.
 At the hearings, although some of these committee members ad- mitted under cross-examinatlon that the bill could stand improve ment, they urged it's passage, inn mediately and without change.
 The fact that the bill, as it was turned out by the House, would have sold the bulk of Alaska to per- petual enslavement by the federal bureaucrats bothered those advo- cates not at all. What they were interested in was the name of state hood and a handful of high and lucrative offices for easy picking and never mind the cost.
 Chairman Atwood and his vice. chairman and fellow editor, Willie l.. Baker, have flayed and slandered all who hinted that the statehood bill might have some serious short comings. And any and all who made suggestions for changes and im- provements to the bill have been linked, in the slatherings of Atwood Baker and Co.,, with the capitalistic and absentee interests" the Con- intern, the devil, General Wu, Ananias and The Thing.
