Cusick, a CAB. examiner. recon-
mended to the board that additional
scheduled air service between Sc
attic and Alaska be approved to &C
commodate the rapidly expanding
passenger and cargo traffic between
Seattle and the territory.
The mystery" Alaskans say, is
why the board has not yet an

is important not only to the Pa
cific Northwest and Alaska but to
the entire national defense effort.
The board. in series of exemp-
ton orders the past two years, has
confirmed the need for additional

TOKYO, Jan. 10-tR-Censorship
is throwing a black curtain around
news of the tremendous pullback of
United Nations forces in Korea.
Field censors have clipped large
chunks out of dispatches on the
grounds of military security. Some
Associated Press stories have ar
rived in Tokyo minus their first
and most important paragraph.
Correspondents are not permitted
to use the word retreat" in connec-
ton with the pullback. Security
officers in Tokyo say this is planned
and orderly withdrawal-not a re-
treat in the face of Red China's
overwhelming manpower.
(Websters unabridged dictionary
says Sc. retreat is properly and
orderly march, in which circum-
stances it differs from flight, rout,

PARIS.-It is now more than two years since the foreign ministers of 12 nations met in solemn con- clave in Washington and, accom- panied by Klieg Lights and overseas broadcasts, signed the North At lantic pact
 The purpose of that pact was to protect the liberty-loving democ- racies from Soviet aggression. In the two years that have passed however. not one single division has been raised to block that aggression and there has been no agreement on pooling of raw materials, no schedule for production, no pro- gram for propaganda and political warfare. and no coordination Of in- telligence reports-in brief, all that the North Atlantic pact countries have after two years of talking IS a piece of paper plus an array of cumbersome committees which got in each others way.

provide merely floor of protec- tion. Retirement benefits are ac- cordingly very small and it is as- sumed that supplemental retire ment programs over and above this basic program will be provided by the joint action of employers and employe groups. However in this case the employer is the Territory and it's political subdivisions. I strongly recommend, therefore, that during the coming bienium all in terested parties study the matter of designing a sound supplemental pension system to bring the benefits to be paid to our employees upon re- tirement up to a more adequate level, and that legislation be pre- pared well in advance to present to the Twenty-First Legislature in January of 1853.

MACARTHUR PROPOSING
 PEACE TALK
But af Same Time Orders LIN Troops to Cross
 38th Parallel
By Associated Press

General Macarthur offered today to talk peace with the Korean Reds but at the same time ordered his LIN troops to cross the 38th Parallel whenever "tactically advisable"
 MacArthur's order came as ad- vancing Allied troops had all but stamped out the last organized Communist resistance south of the Parallel.
 T stand ready at any time to con- fer in the field with the commander in-chief Of the enemy forces in the earnest effort to settle the LIN ob- jectives in Korea and end the fight ing" Macarthur said.
 The general emphasized that a settlement would be based on real izing the political objectives of the United Nations in Korea"
 Macarthur made the statement before he flew to Seoul Saturday night on his 14th visit to the fight ing front. On his return to Tokyo, Macarthur said he had directed the U. s. Eighth Army to cross the 38th Parallel If and when its security makes it tactically advisable"
 The LIN commander said the status of the old dividing line be- tween North and South Korea had been thoroughly discussed in Lon don, Washington and other capitals. He said the boundary actually had no military significance and he added that Naval and Air Units cross it at will.
 There was no immediate Com munist reaction to MacArthur's statement.
