Senator HunfIey Named Marshal of Third Division

PALMER, Sept 11--R-President Truman's nomination of Territorial Sen. Walter E. Huntley as Mar shal for the Third Division ended long conjecture over the prospects of his getting the post.
 He was named yesterday to suc- esot. the late Paul .. Herring
 IFuntley is one of the original Matanuska Colony settlers. It was reported as far back as the 1851 Alaska legislature session that Huntley had the inside track for the appointment through support of a majority of the divisions Democratic committeeman.
 Huntley was probably the most quiet, soft-spoken member of the Territorial Senate. On the Senate floor, he has been outspoken against the liquor business whenever any aspect of it came before the Sen ate. There was conjecture among fellow legislators over how firm a hand he might try to apply to the law enforcement problems of the booming Third Division.
 He is the second Democratic mem Der of the 1949-195l Territorial Sen- ate to be named as U. s. Marshal. The other was Frank Barr of Fair banks, who resigned short while later to go back into the aviation business.

 Mir. Truman departed repeatedly from prepared text.
 He defended the right of Ameri- cans to grumble about paying taxes but went on to say:
 "A man will go into a night clut and throw away 40 to 50 dollars and think nothing of it, but let him get a tax bill for $30 and hear him scream!"
 Mir. Truman said he knew per sonalIy every figure in every bud get he has submitted, while other people talk about the budget and don't know a figure in it."
 MT. Truman spoke at the dedica- ton of the new seven-story lime stone and granite building for the General Accounting Office, watch dog agency for Congress on federal spending.

By ERNEST B. vACCARO

WASHINGTON, Sept. H. tR -- President Truman denounced as "iust 9 npcs et lies" tsfiav oha~res that waste and extravagance are running wild in the government.
 Such charges are based on mean ingless butterfly statistics" the President said.
 And he declared that those who claim the government is spending itself into bankruptcy are doing so "to frighten vOters--particularIy as visions of elections dance in the heads of gentlemen who are politically inclined"
 Says We're Stronger
 In a bristling speech dedicat- ing a new government building, the President said emphatically that the United States is stronger econ omically than ever before.
 He singled out for special criti- cism a recent magazine article pur- porting to show government waste and extravaganza. He did not men tion the magazine by name, but plainly referred to the Readers Di- gest, which carried a table of fig ures supposedly showing that non defense expenditures had increased anywhere from 100 percent to 1,0Ot percent between 1940 and 1850.

Allies Admit Strafinq kaesong Neutral Zone In Navigation Error

TOKYO, Wednesday = R - The United Nations command acknow- ledged last night that an Allied plane mistakenly strafed the Kae- song neutral zone Monday.
 The Communists had not yet re- piled, but instead early today broad cast an official message rejecting Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's sugges- ton that Korean truce talks be moved to some other site.
 The Communist message, broad cast by the Peiping radio in the names of North Korea Gen. Kim Il Sung and Chinese Red Gen. Peng -Huai, said Ridgway's proposal to move was completely unsatis- factory and unacceptable.
 The message told Ridgway these efforts of yours are futile" and then repeated all the old Red accu- sations that the Allies were ''ob- structing" the now-suspended ar mistice talks and had repeatedly violated Kaesong's neutrality.
 The Red commanders message finished in milder tone than they usually use, however.
 The latest Red complaint was that an Allied plane machine-gunned Kaesong before dawn Monday.
 Previous Red accusations have been dismissed as falsehoods and frameups.
 The Monday strafing, however, was found to be true.
 A message being sent to the Reds today through Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, chief Allied truce negotiator, says:
 "The United Nations command regrets this violation of the agreed neutrality which resulted from the pilots error in navigation. App propriate disciplinary action is being initiated.'
 The allied reply notes that no casualties were inflicted and only slight damage was caused.
 First Admission
 This is the first time the JUN command has admitted any basis to Red charges of neutrality zone violation. The strafing charge was the 11th by the Reds.
 The allies have denied or ignored all previous charges.
 The LIN command statement said a plane detected by allied radar i'll the Kaesong area at the time of the Red-report strafing turned out to be U. S. bomber. ssg
 The statement continued. '
 Continuing radar plot includ- 1. ing a directed Identification turn and subsequent transmission in- dicates plane was from the Third Bomb Group. The pilot reports having strafcd lights at 1:36 am. in what he believed to be a diff lcrent area but which in view of the radar plot must have been Kaesong
 Earlier the Communists warned the allies to accept Red terms for resuming stalled Korean truce talks in Kaesong or bear the full conse- possibility for all the consequences" :"

Conservation
Week Proclaimed

Governor Frank Lausche has Of
ficially proclaimed this "Conser
vation Week, and urges all Ohio
ans to observe it. There will be
formal recognition of this week in
sports groups, boy and girl scout
troops, All clubs, school organi-
cations, garden clubs and many
other groups. 1t is pointed OUT
however, that each person can
have a part in this vital work of
conservation by maintaining his
own particular place of earth with
care, planting trees and bushes to
prevent erosion, enrichlng the
soil, building bird houses to en-
courage the birds to remain and
do their part in controlling pests,
and in reclaiming worn out, or
abused lands. This is a good place
to point out that here in Port
Clinton we have a very valuable
conservation project, that of the
reclamation of the marshlands
along the Lake Erie shore. This
Operation CattaiP' has already
reclaimed many acres of marginal
lands and more are being drained
and turned into useful acreage 10

es of beauty.
