and thus score an initial victory.
But the consensus of all our mill
itary stategists is that the Red
general staff is not yet conf
dent that it can win final VIC
tory. These professionals believe
that until the Red dictator
succeeds in reducing drastically
our defense potential by a war
of attrition in Korea and by dip
lomatic maneuvers in Western
Europe he will not precipitate
the third world war regardless
of what military actions we may
undertake in the near future.
In the meantime. the Russians
are not idle. Not only are they
greatly strengthening the ASH
satic armies by sending them
large quantities of war materials.
but they also are placing Red air
forces at strategic points in Asia.
There are several wings of the
equivalent of our B-29s in the
Shanghai area whence they
could attack southern Japan.
Airborne troops and equipment
are concentrated in Northern ST.
IBERIA. Chinese Communist forces
are now massed on the Indo-
Chinese borders for the kill"
against the French in Wet Nam
and substantial Red infiltrationS
are reported in Indonesia and
Burma. These are all in prep
aration for "the day."
The Soviet general staff as
sumeS that the initiative which
it now possesses will be contin-
ued. The Red marshals have be-
come convinced that neither the
United States nor its associates
in the u. N. will take a calcu-
lated risk and assume an offen-
Sive in Korea.
American military men admit
that it would be a costly affair,
but far less costly in the long
run than the present war Of
attrition IN which we have been
engaged since July. 1850.

and 200 p. m. being scheduled
on the big outdoor stage in front

 Councilmen mulled the possib- ility of eliminating the meters, but they were unanimous in the opinion that it would be foolish to cut down on the lines and the storage tank, both of which items would later cost the city much more than the present savings in- volved. The possibility of elimin- ating some of the siX-inch pipe lines was also discussed, but members of the water committee wanted these left for water pro- lection.
 Boberg said APW officials were negotiating for cut in the low bidders estimate for the storage tank, the only item which they considered too high. He said this item may be pared down $7,000- $8,000, thus reducing the extra amount which the city would have to raise. The extra money, Boberg said, would not have to be raised by the community until possibly a year after the project was com pleted--until late 1853 or in 1854.
 The Palmer project contract has not been awarded, Boberg, told City Councilmen; accord ing to the terms of the bidding, it must be awarded or rejected within 30 days of the July 3 bid opening.
 The extra amount needed for the water sytem according to present specifications would be in addition to the $300,000 author

Fish Fry Expected
 To Draw Large Group

A large attendance is expected by the Matanuska Valley Sports men at their annual Fish Fry to be held for members and families Sunday, July 20 at Barry's Finger Lake Resort.
 Chairman Leo Lucas reminded club fishermen very strongly this week that they must get their fish into Locker 299 soon. He said, There's lots of room left in that locker and we'd like to see it full before Sunday"
 Harry Rice, from Independence Mine and Leonard Soley of the Palmer Baking Company will supervise the frying, scheduled to start between noon and one o'clock.
 Sugar, cream and coffee; buns, butter, ice cream, Kool-Aid and paper plates will all be furnished by the club. Members attending are asked to take their own cups, eating utensils and food for their own group.
 Tug-of-war, soft ball games and other outdoor sports will help keep activities going in the all day program.

Extension of WasiIIa Road Included in ARG Summer Work Schedule

Alaska Road Commission con- struction work in the Matanuska Valley area this summer will in- clude the extension of the Wasilla Road beyond Pittman toward Houston and erection of two new bridges, one on the Wasilla Road near Green Acres and one on the Glenn Highway across Caribou Creek.
 The Wasilla Road extension will be the first lap toward the eventual linking of the Wasilla Road with Willow. The length of the extension will stretch only as far as this years appropriation will permit, according to Fore man Oliver Onkka. It might be two miles and it might be fur ther, depending on terrain and construction problems involved.
 Erection of the new wooden bridge at Green acres will also involve strengthening of the road at that point. Whether or not there would be any other cur we taken out of the Wasilla Road was not known, pending compile tion of an engineers report. The local ARC workers hope that the Wasilla Road paving project will be included in next years ap- propriation. With the present rate of travel over the road, they believe it is no longer feasible to keep up the present gravel road.

 President Moore landed his Pip CT Cub float plane on Finger Lake about 9:30 pm. Friday eve ming. After spending the night in Palmer, he delayed a scheduled trip on Saturday to visit several farms in the MatanuSka Valley area.

CEILING PRICES GO ON ALASKA'S USED CARS JULY 1q

JUNEAU-The Office of Price Stabilization took steps to stabil- ize prices of used cars in Alaska. The action was in the form of an amendment to Ceiling Price Regulation 94, which heretofore governed the price of used cars only in the states.
 Under the regulation, the OPS will require Alaska used car prices be determined by using the price range fixed for the West Coast and adding a stateside-to- Alaska transportation allowance. This method of determining prices is in line with normal trade practices in the Territory. The allowance which sellers may add to West Coast prices is based on actual transportation charges and is reduced on a per centage basis as the age of the vehicle increases. A table of transportation allowances is con- tained in the regulation, a copy of which may be obtained at any Alaska OPS office.
 The OPS called attention to the fact the used car regulation. ap- plies to private sellers as well as dealers and advised individuals who contemplate selling their car to contact the OPS to find out the ceiling price.
 The regulation goes into effect Tl11U 10
