Road Commission Gives Data on
 Alaska Highways

Although following the spring breakup, weight restrictions and lowered speed limits have been re- moved from Alaska's highway sys- tens, travellers can expect some minor delays to traffic due to con- struction activity in the interior and westward, the Alaska Road Commission announced today in giving a summary of road condi- tions.
 Paving and road widening on the Richardson highway from Valdez to Mile 268 may slow traffic somewhat but from Mile 268 to Fairbanks the road is in good condition. On the Alaska Highway between Miles 1875 and 1428 traffic will be controlled by construction forces but the high way is open from the Canadian border to Fairbanks.
 From Anchorage to it's junction with the Alaska Highway, the Glenn Highway is open and Is in excellent condition to the end of the paving at Mile 102. From there to Mile 106 slow speeds can be ex- pected due to paving operations. On the section of the same highway, known formerly as Tok Cutoff, between Miles 73 and 110, heavy construction is causing some delay and slow speeds.
 The new Taylor Highway, Tetlin to Eagle, is under construction but passable.
 From Seward to Mile 92, the Seward Anchorage highway is open to traffic, on the southern end and from Anchorage to Potter on the northern end. However, from Sew ard to Mile 58 numerous delays can be expected. In August it is ex- pected to have the entire road open to limited traffic and to unlimited traffic in late fall.
 Reconstruction operations will be encountered on Sterling Highway from Mile 38 to Cooper's Landing, but no serious traffic delays are an- ticipated. The same applies to the Steese Highway.
 The Elliott and Haines Highways, and Mckinley Park roads are all in excellent condition, the report said.

become a diplomatic failure. Per haps as a result, he had also be- come an outspoken anti-American. There is no record however, that he engaged in any pro-Russian ac- tivities while in this country, but he had been asked to leave the United States because of drunken driving and strong protest by Virginia's Governor John s. Battle.
 Burgess was a sexual deviate, and an extensive search has been made to locate his friends in Wash ington. So far the search has proved futile. Burgess apparently had no close friends except for some of the dregs of the city.
 2. Actually Burgess was no more than a diplomatic flunky attached to the British Embassy. Associates report that he was neurotic, unre- liable and a bore. One associate described him as 'an explosive mass of illustrations and inner con- ilicts.' He should have been house. cleaned long ago.
 3. MacLean was of a different calitre. Only 38 years old and son of a distinguished father, he was the chief of the American division of the foreign office-a post in which he knew every vital allied secret.
 In recent years, however, Mac Lean had become increasingly un- stable. Due to overwork he had two nervous breakdowns. He had also acquired personality unbal- ance somewhat similar to Burgess, and his American wife was con- cerned.
 4. Before Burgess and MacLean left together for France on May 25, Burgess, the batchelor, told friends he was going to visit the contln- ent' for several weeks. He vas starting six weeks leave from the foreign office, preparatory to look ing for a new job. Significantly he didn't mention MacLeans name in any conversation about his forth coming trip.
 MacLean, however, didn't have any official leave from his govern ment post. That Friday, when he left home, MacLean told his preg- Inant wife: I'm going away for the week end and will be back Sunday night or Monday morning" He mans wardrobe indicates both of he didn't mention Burgess name
 No Extra Money
 5: As far as the authorities can determine, neither man tVk more than a limited amount of money. Their bank accounts have been thoroughly checked and no heavy withdrawals were made prior to their departure. Neither man IS thought to have taken more than S200, though they could have hid den funds in their clothes, funds received in advance from the Rus sians.
 6. An exhaustive check of each didn't say where he was going. Aid them took only enough clothes to last for a relatively short trip. Mae Lean had only enough clothes tor the week end.
 2. Intelligence officers are certain that both Burgess and MacLeaH got as far as Paris. However. there is absolutely no record of their ar rival or presence in the French capital.
 The pair left Soutnhampton CT the channel steamer ''Falaise, docking at St. Malo. They proceed ed from St. Malo to Rennes by taxi, telling the taxi driver they were trying to catch the l:l0 trair to Paris. For some strange leaso, they had left their bags on tht steamer-maybe for the purpose O. starting completely fresh in th' strange new Soviet world they were entering.

WHERE'S THE FIRE?

When the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department warns Don't chase to the fires or obstruct traffic during fire alarm" that warning is made for the benefit of every one of us.
 Next time it might be your house that needs quick response to firm alarm.
 The Fire Department calls attention to the two minutes or less that might be the margin of safety in reaching fire.
 A careless driver could obstruct traffic for more than two minutes, could delay the arrival of lire truck at the scene of fire for more than two minutes. And that delay might mean the burning of home It might mean the injury or death ot some one caught in a burning building
 Because Juneaus law enforcement officers Will enforce the city ordinance that requires this caution, we call attention to the warning against chasing to fires.
 Members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire De- partment can do their jobs when fire signals sound only if the rest of clear the streets and ease their way to the scene of disaster.
 For it's advertising campaign callins attention to the need to keep the streets clear when fire signals sound the department deserves credit. It is all in the interest of public safety

 I'm from big business and I'm proud of it. continued Wilson "even though this spokesman for labor he pointed to CLOS Jim Carey ys-~'llas ripped into me from time to time in the past. But we've got to realize-all of us, business, labor, the farmer and Congress that we must pull together unSel- fishly il we are going to win the battle against in1lation.'
 Carey. AFL president Green and Charles Anderson, an official of the raiload brotherhoods, vigorous ly supported Wilson.
 Missing Diplomats
 In the background of the State Departments re-examination of 5OO members of it's staff from top to bottom, including the suspension of several career diplomats pending security hearings, was the myster- ious disappearance of the two Brit ish diplomats.
 This scrutiny is no reflection on any particular person, and many of those suspended merely face technical charges. It is significant furthermore, that the FBI lady in- former. for many years a member of the Communist party, recently testified that she knew of no Com munists in the State Department, though her job was to list the mem bership of all Washington Com munists.
 The State Department, however is taking precautions, lest the same thing happen to the American dip lomatic service that happened to the British For, with the disap- pearance of the two British career men, it was necessary to fly special couriers all over the world to chance the secret codes of botE the United States and Britain. IT addition, almost every secret knowr to the two countries was exposed probably to the Kremlin.
 Furthermore, this tragic loss oi secrets could have been prevented by more alertness on the part oi British authorities-which is why the State Department is staging 2 new sci inspection.
 The most widespread and thor. ough manhunt in history has nov been conducted for Donald Mac Lean and Guy Burgess. Allied az ents have spent hundreds of hour trving to track down the missinI men. They have combed the con tinent. searched the dives of Mont martre. inspected the waterfront of Rotterdam, Antwerp, and l. Hayre. have even checked as ia away as Argentina. But so far eV cry trail has led up blind alley
 Every day that passes makes more conclusive that MacLean am Burgess have disappeared behln the Iron Curtain-as was tlrst pre- dicted by the companion who star fed off with them and then cam home.

Aussies Virtually Wrap Up
Davis Cup by Doubles Win

versity But the task was far too
much for the lad from the Balm
bridge (Md) Naval Station.
AS the match progressed it be-
came difficult to see how the
American pair ever conceived the
notion they might upset the
worlds doubles kings. They looked
like boys who had been sent out
on a mans errand.
The last seven times Sedgman
and McGregor served in the last
two sets they yielded total of
only three points. Big 6-foot-4
McGregor wound up the affair
with two blazing love games te-
hind his amazing varied delivery.
Sedgman was carried to deuce
once in the second set, but his
partner never yielded more than
two points in any of his nine serv-
ices.
Disagree About Aussies.
There was disagreement among
Australian experts as to whether
Sedgman or McGregor performed
more valiantly. Some insisted
McGregor was more eyefilling,
particularly in the opening set
when he scored five clean winners
on service returns. Sedgman's
supporters declared their man was
more consistently brilliant as
the match progressed. There
could be no disagreement about
Schroeder being the goat.
In the first and third sets Ted's
returns from service. particularly
those to his backhand, were
alarmingly poor. He committed
29 nets in the three sets compared
to IA for Sedgman.
Only in the middle set did the
veteran Schroeder come alive and
produce the brand of tennis of
which he is capable. AS the score
followed service to 6-6, then to
TT, it apperaed the crowd might
yet get its moneys worth.
Schroeder Lapses Again.
But then Ted again went ints
one of his unaccountable lapses.
With the score 30-all on his serv-
ice he went to the net to put an
easy shot away and instead slam
med it far past the sideline. On
set point he again faced an easy
shot in the forecourt and slapped
it weakly into the net.
AS he went back to take up his
position for the start of the third
set he appeared detected and
everybody in the stadium sensed it
was over.
The crowd gave Ted a special
cheer as he left the enclosure, but
it was only for the stout-hearted
battler they used to know.
