 6-to-l Army Ratio In Western Europe

WASHINGTON, {R = Senator Knowland R.- -Calif0 proposed yes terday six-to-one ration for arm- ing Western Europe against com munist aggression with the United States ultimately furnishing 10 di- visions and the other North Allan tic nations 60.
 Knowland said it was vital that Western Europe not be allowed to fall into communist hands, but he held that the bulk of the defen- sive land forces should be furn- ished by the Europeans them selves.
 "If war comes," he said, i've must then do with our air, sea, and land forces what the strategic necessities require in support of our commitments. We will not let our allies down nor must they let us down."
 In a speech prepared for Senate delivery Knowland pleaded for unity within this country and be- tween the free nations of the world, saying history has taught US eve must hang together or be hanged separately"
 Knowland, vigorous critic of administration Far Eastern policy, strongly urged a reconciliation of differences between Cong s members and the administration on all foreign issues.

Tomorrow, January 18th, is called the Russian New Year, and many Alaskan people in Kodiak, Sitka and southern Alaska still celebrate the traditional day.
 Two calendars have been used by the nations of the western world, the Julian and the Gregor- ian. The Julian calendar, named after Julius Caesar, was started in B. C. 46. The year of the Julian calendar was 11.2 minutes too long making an error of three days ev- cry 400 years. Pope Gregory XIII corrected this but Russian and Greece used the Julian calendar until after World War I. Isolated settlements still carry on the old tradition so we find it amongst Russian descendants in southern Alaska.

 AS he set it out, this total would be for actual military and foreign aid spending plus contracting, lending and loan guaranteeing au- thority for national security pur- poses. Other government expenses would be in addition to this.
 MT. Truman said workers must accept wage restraints and busi- ness men must accept lower prof its-that no one should seek to hike his income to escape his share of the higher tax burden.
 He told the legislators, too, that one million more men and women may be added to the armed forces within few months. The military manpower goal has been a force of 3,2OO,OOO by June 30, but only today thie figure was raised to 3,462,2O0.
 Congress voted a $4,700, ,000, ,000 increase in individual and corpo- ration taxes last fall. In Decem- Der, it passed a bill to get $3,3O0,- 100000 more from corporations through an "excess profits" tax and an increase in existing taxes.
 MT. Truman used no specific figure for his new tax proposals, but said the total should exceed the combined total of these two bills.
 MT. Truman said it should be the first principle of policy to "maintain a balanced budeet, and to finance the cost of national de- fense on 'pay-as-you-go' basis" he added:

OLDEST PIONEER 100 PASSES ON

FAIRBANKS, R More n 70 Snepp, believed to be the oldest Alaskan pioneer died Monday. He celebrated his tooth birth fday in September, 1949, and was toasted on the occasion from the Pacific Coast throughout Alaska.
 Snepp was hospitalized more than four years ago when he was found living alone on home stead B miles down the Richard son Highway. He was preparing to face a cold winter although he was too weak to stand up.
 Until three weeks ago he was keen minded, humorous and ready to swap few stories with visitors. He never gave up the idea that he would ''get we'll enough to go back to the cabin and live to a ripe old age"
 Snepp was born in a covered wagon enroute from New England to Texas 12 years before the start of the Civil War. --,->
 He started moving northward by obtaining work as cowhand from Texas to Salt Lake City. He landed at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, in 1895 and in 1902 he went to Fort Gibbon where he served in a civilian capacity for the army quartermaster corps.
 Snepp arrived in Fairbanks in 1923 and when he was 70 years old he retired from government service and bought homestead.

Mystery Illness, Gather

LONDON, Sept. %. - King
George VI strolled about Bucking-

family tonight as the hour drew
near for a major operation for his
mysterious lung ailment.
The 55-year -old monarch was
reported in good spirits but hag-

Silent, anxious crowds grew to
5000 outside the palace walls.
They watched the delivery of oxy-

and saw doctors come and go.

Queen Elizabeth was at her

Nurses took up residence at the

A belief during the day that the
operation already was being per-

said there would be no operation

Last December, when things were
going badly in Korea, people at
home gave over 10000 pints of
blood through Red Cross to the
Defense Department. But in July
with armistice talks in progress,
they gave less than 40,000-hardly
more than tenth of the armed
forces need.
Need Could Be Sudden.
While that much is not needed
now in Korea. much more could
be needed, and suddenly. Military
leaders are worried not merely
about Korea. but even more about
a new or bigger war. The armed
forces could need every bit of 2.8
million pint reserve in an atom
war-even more.
The 300,O00-a-month goal for
the new plasma reserve doesn't
even touch the problem of stock
pile for civil defense. A much
greater reserve-bigger by at least
7 million pints-must start build
ing before long, to safeguard ci-
villains.

ready to discuss" their offer to
reopen the Korean truce talks
they suspended August %.
But he bluntly rejected their
key move to keep alive charges of
Allied neutrality violations at
Kaesong.
The cases were closed" the
supreme Allied commander firmly
reminded North Korean Premier
Kim II Sung and Chinese Red
Gen. Peng Teh-huai.
In a note dated Wednesday and
delivered the next day, they had
proposed immediate resumption of
the talkS-and simultaneous setup
of appropriate machinery" to deal
with Red charges of Allied viola
tions at Kaesong.
Meeting Time Suggested.
Their note suggested that liai-
son officers meet in the KaeSong
zone purely to set a date and
time for resuming the talks.
Today Gen. Ridgway suggested
such meeting at 10 an. Monday
(EPT Sunday in the Kaesong
area of Western Korea. But he
stated the purpose was to dis
cuss conditions mutually salts
factory" for the resumption.
The Reds have flung a round
dozen charges that Allied planes
and troops violated the Kaesong
zone. The Allies, investigating each
charge. have denied 10, said the
other two were valid although
cases of mistake and not delibera-
tion.
Today Gen. Ridgway's reply to
Kim and Peng said their sug-
gestion that instances of alleged
violations remain unsettled "is re-
jected."
Gen. Ridgway's reply first was
broadcast to the Reds.

The helicopters carried Allied

Gen. Ridgeyay's latest message,
while reserved in tone, told the
Red leaders they were solely to
blame for suspending the talks.
The Reds broke them off after
charging that an Allied plane
bombed the Kaesong neutral zone

the charge and denied it.
