 On the home front, the prime minister declared, the Socialists would push forward to restrict dividends and put industry under public ownership whenever the party believed it necessary.
 Attlee was presenting his party's manifesto-Labor's answer to the Conservative manifesto issued last week by Winston Churchill. The Conservatives asked an end to Socialist rule of England.

TOKYO, (P)-Red leaders per sisted today in the long silence on an Allied proposal to change the Korean truce meeting place from Kaesong to no-man's-land.

Military Discounts
 Reports Alien Subs In Alaska Waters

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Military authorities discount reports by two civilians who may believe they had seen submarines not be- longing to the United States, near Alaska.
 The reports were made by Don- aid Cross and Tom Costello, Fish and Wildlife Service employees, who said they saw the alien craft on Aug. 28 and Sept. 12 respec- lively.
 Maj. James K. Bryan, public in- formation officer for the Alaskan Command, said Saturday night the reports have proved groundleSs.
 "Our intelligence officers say there is no evidence to show that submarines actually had been seen in the area," Maj. Bryan said.
 Cross told military intelligence officers at Elmendorf Air Force Base that he sighted a schnorkel- type submarine as it headed away from the area. He said he also heard it's motors.
 Cross said the incident occurred about 2 pm. August 28 while he was in a boat off the Kenai Pen insula.
 Costello related seeing what looked like a sub 20 miles from Kalgin Island, Sept. F about 6:30 pm, while flying over the area.

British-Iranian Oil Dispute To Go Before U. IN.

NEW YORK, (P)- The United Nations plunges into the bitter British h-Iranian oil dispute today, with Britain apparently lowing in advance to Trans order expell- ing Britons from the great Aba dan refinery area.
 Iran made it clear she was in- sisting upon the expulsion in spite of the pending British complaint before the Security Council.
 Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi said in Tehran that the Security Council had no power to recom- mend that Iran lift the expulsion order. Previously, Hussein Makki, of the Iranian National Oil Board, said if the Britons insisted on stay ing at the refinery, they would be "escorted off by police with the greatest respect and kindness"
 Ten British warships are anch- ored off Basra, only 40 miles from Abadan on the Shat-el-Arab eStu- ary, and there was some talk in London of an "oil blockade" of Iran to insure that the IranianS do not sell stored Abadan oil which Britain considers property of the Anglo -Iranian company.
 Makki has said that if such a blockade were imposed, it would be ''most dangerous and would be the beginning of hostilities."

Marine Corporal, Back From Korea Held On
 Suspicion Of Murder

HERMOSA BEACH, Calif., (P) - A Marine corporal only two days out of service was held to- day on suspicion of murder in the stabbing of 43-year-old house wife.
 He was William Roger Seward, 29, of Stockham, Neb., who was discharged only Saturday morning at Camp Pendleton, Calf.
 The victim was Mrs. Miriam Evelyn Lake, mother of nine-year- old son. Police said her husband, Jack Lake, is in the Air Force in Alaska.
 A 12-year-old boy, Charles Pratt, came to the police Satur- day night with a story of how, while playing near the Lake resi- dence, he heard a woman scream, saw a man run away from the house. He peeked in a window and saw the woman's body. A knife was in her back and she was lying face down in a pool of blood.
 Apparently Seward met Mrs. Lake and a celebration began of his discharge and her birthday, which was also Saturday. Officers said that after hours of question ing Seward declared he could not remember what happened.
 Seward served seven years in the Marine Corps, including a year in Korea.

Donald Mcdonald. Father of Alaska Highway Declares It ''An Economic
 Waste And Wholly Inadequate


 from Russia in the event of war is dependent on constructing a 550-mile stretch of highway, in the opinion of Donald Mcdonald.
 Mcdonald, of Fairbanks, is a retired exploratory engineer. He is known as the father of the Alaska Highway. Ironically, he now deSpises it as "an economic waste and wholly inadequate, largely because of rough, steep stretches, susceptible to waShouts, between Whitehorse, VT, and Edmonton, Alta.
 The solution, Mcdonald believes is construction of a road from Atlin to Fort St. James, B.C., that would connect with the Fairbanks road 58 miles south of WhitehorSe and with the Cariboo Road from Fort St. James.
 Connecting the two roads would cut the mileage from Fairbanks to Seattle from the present 3,4O1 miles to about 1900 miles, McDon- aid said.
 Alaska is an economic island, denendent on the sea for all means of war or development" said Me Donald. If it is true that it is one of the most strategic areas in the world, and I think it is, it is mandatory for the United States to hold on.
 But I don't see how we can unless we build this new road. Russia has submarines and they easily could cut Alaska from being supplied by sea.
 "That leaves the present high yay. It is too bad that only 1,70O .rucks used it last year"
 Mcdonald was member of the American commission wh c h worked jointly with a Canadian group in planning the Alaska Highway.
 'When the second World War came along," Mcdonald said. Plan ming the road was taken out of our hands. Some brain ordered it built from Whitehorse to Ed monton and down into Montana. That was deliberate sabotage.
 'The Canadians are about ready to scrap their section. Any good engineering outfit would give up that part of it as extravagant and wasteful to maintain"
 The western route that McDon- aid favors would have 35 bridges, costing an estimated $1,500,000, compared with the present roads 78 bridges costing $16,575,000, Me Donald said. He estimates the new road could be built for $50,000, ,000 compared with the $140,000,000 he says the Whitehorse-Edmonton section cost.

If the Minneapolis Lakers are to

George Mikan, who still is suffer-

Mikan saw action only during
