SCARBOROUGH, England, oct. l

SCARBOROUGH, England, Oct. = R = Prime Minister Attlee de- clared today that Britain under his Labor government has been a main bulwark of world peace.

Report5ub Off Alaska
 Discounted

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 1-tR Military authorities discount re- ports by two civilians that they be- lieve they had seen submarines not belonging to the United States near Alaska.
 The reports were made by Donald Cross and Tom Costello, Fish and Wildlife Servilt, employees, who said they saw the alien craft on Aug. 28 and Sept. 12, respectively.
 Maj. James K. Bryan, public in- formation officer for the Alaskan 4omma,ad, said Saturday might the reports have proved ground less.
 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 officials at Elmendorf Air Force Base that he sighted a Schnorkel- type submarine as it headed away from the area. He said he also heard its motors. Cross said the incident oocurred aJout ? pm. August 28 while he was in boat off Dick Arm on the Kenai Pen- insula.
 Costello related seeing what looked like a sub 20 miles from Kalgin Is- land, Sept. 12, about 630 pm, while flying over the area.
 T looked again about 30 seconds later and it was gone," Costello said. Others in the plane said they thought Costello's submarine was only a sandbar. He said he didn't think anything about it until ne heard Cross report and then told intelligence officers of the incident.

 Such studies. Warne told the sub committee, have been carried on for several years in Alaska without basic authorization except in ap- propriation bills. He said the In- terior Department and Budget Bu- reau favor both the Alaska and Ha- waii bills.

Warning Given Reds If They Want AII-0ut War Instead of Truce Talks

U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD QUARTERS, Korea, Oct. 1-tR-The Eighth Army is prepared to strike, and strike hard" in Korea if the Reds want all-out war instead of truce talks.

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Diplomats re- turned from the Ottawa confer ence report privately that it wasn't anywhere near as successful as the headlines and the official press communiques indicated.
 In fact, it ducked the most im- portant problem for which it was called the question of deciding how much money is to be spent on European rearmament and how much for civilian uses.
 Furthermore, the Ottawa diplo- mats did not even bother to read General Eiesenhower's report on Europe's military defense. Ike had prepared report on the present strength of Europe. and on how much more armament would be necessary. But his analysis was not even read ,
 Instead it was referred to the next meeting in Rome, which will not be held until November-a after Great Britain gets new govern men.
 Most of this took place at closed door sessions and was not known to the public.
 Keynote of the general attitude at the Ottawa conference was a speech given by Bjarni Benediktsson, foreign minister of Iceland, hand some Viking type gentleman with long, dropping mustaches very much like a walrus.
 "Iceland,' said Foreign Minister Benediktsson at the first closed session, "has already done her share. We can do no more. We have American troops on our soil. And we have new air base at Rey- kjavik which is keeping all the people awake"

New Alaska Highway
 Suggested

SEATTLE, Oct 1 = R = Saving Alaska 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 re- tired 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 constructing 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 at Fort St. James.
 Connecting the two roads would cut the mileage from Fairbanks to Seattle from the present 3,4O0 miles to about 1900 miles, Me- Donald said.
 Freight trucks averaging 40 miles an hour of continuous driving could haul materials from Seattle to Fair banks in two days on such road, Mcdonald said. It took him ten days to drive from Fairbanks to Seattle on the present road. He arrived Thursday night, on his first trip outside" in six years. Alaska is an economic island, /, dependent on the sea for all means of war or development"
 said Mcdonald. "If it is true that it is one of the most stra-
 tegic areas in the world, and
 think it is, it is mandatory for the
 United States to hold it.
 "But I don't see how we can un- less we build this new road. Russia has submarines and they easily could cut Alaska off from being supplied by sea.
 "That leaves the present highway. It is so bad that only l,700 trucks lnsed it last year"
 Mcdonald was d member of tho l American Commission which worked Jointly with the Canadian group Ill planning the Alaska Highway before the Second World War.
 Both commissions were in agree ment the highway should be built over the route now recommended by Mcdonald, he said
 "When the Second World War
 came along" Mcdonald said,
 planning the road was taken
 out of our hands and some brain
 ordered it built from Whitehorse to Edmonton and down into Mon
 tana. That was deliberate sabo- ] tage.
 "The Canadians are about ready to scrap their section. Any good engineering outfit would give that part of it up as extravagant and wasteful to maintain.
 The western route that Mcdonald fayors would have 35 bridges, cost ing an estimated $1,500,000. com pared with the present roads 7o bridges costing $16,575, ,00o. McDon- aid said. He estimates the new road could be built for $50,000,000, com pared with the $140,000,000 he says the Whitehorse Edmonton section cost.
