Congressional Leaders Plan Early Approval Of Military Pay Increases
By EDWIN B. PARKINSON

WASHINGTON, R-Congres- sional leaders Friday planned early approval of military pay in- creases ranging from three dol lars a month for privates and sea- men up to $65 for two-star gen. erals and admirals.
 The long Senate : House dead lock over cost of living increases for 315 million men and women in the armed forces and other uni formed services was broken late Thursday.
 A Senate House conference committee agreed on compro- mise measure providing ASA mil lion dollars of additional pay for those in uniform or who have re- tired.
 It figures out to four per cent increase in base pay and 14 per cent increase in food and rental allowances. .r...
 The compromise now must be approved by both the House and Senate before it goes to President Truman.

Rev. Carlson Attends National Civil Air Patrol Chaplains Conference

WASHINGTON Paul B. F. Carlson, pastor of Nome's Evangelical Mission Covenant Church, was one of more than 25O CAP chaplains, from virtually every state and the territories of Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico, attending the second annual Civil Air Patrol Chaplains' Conference at Boiling Air Force Base in the nations capital April 15-17.
 The chaplains, representing all faiths and united in common goals in Civil Air Patrol chaplain work, heard from spokesmen of the Air Force, CAP-AF headquarters and their own ranks.
 Highlighting the conference was an address by General Carl A. Spaatz, retired chief of staff of the Air Force and now chairman of the CAP National Executive Board, who said:
 Civil Air Patrol is one of the

finest organizations in the coun- try because it is made up of in- dividuals who give and not who take, such as you chaplains are doing" Our work in CAP, he added, has great need of the in- fluence of all civilian clergymen in bringing discipline to the minds and bodies of all CAP members.

Governor Cruening Protests 65% Oil Cut On Grounds of Serious
 Damage to Alaska's Economy

Governor Gruening's office an- nounced Thursday that, support ing Delegate Bartlett's efforts in Washington, the petroleum ad- ministrator for defense, the chair man of the Civil Aeronautics Board, and the Postmaster Gen. eral:
 "Your order effective at 12:01 a.m., May 2, provides that allo- cation of aviation gasoline for the 28 days from effective date shall be 653o of the deliveries made to the purchaser during March, 1852.
 "I desire to register an emphatic protest on the ground of undue hardship and most serious dam age to Alaska's entire economy if this order be not rescinded or modified for the intra-, Alaskan operators of which there are eight certified carriers and Alaskan bush pilots.
 Owing to seasonal factors, the months just ahead are months of maximum activity. The winter months, including March, are months of minimum activity. A 65 per cent reduction based on the March consumption is a far more drastic reduction than would appear on the surface.
 Further than this, aviation in Alaska has an importance out of proportion to that of aviation any where else under the flag. In Alaska we do not have the alter nate means of transportation which exist in the States. There is one short railroad line and a very limited highway system. AL askan aviation is basically our one means of transportation.
 My appeal is for the bush pi- lots and the eight intra-Alaskan carriers. These air carriers carry all classes of United States mail because of the lack of other forms of mail transport. What is to be- come of this substantial part of their cargo?
 Their total consumption is a relatively small proportion of the total national consumption. In ad- dition, most of them use 80- to ST. and 91-octane gasoline, as com pared with the l00-octane or high CT used by the military. Likewise, there appears to be an adequate supply within Alaska at the pres ent time for two months consump- ton on anticipated needs and in some places larger supply.
 Application of your order with out modification will virtually paralyze Alaska's economy during the season of its maximum inten- sity in a year of the greatest pros pective activity, military and civ ilian, in our history.
 "I urge that it be rescinded in toto as far as the intra-Alaskan operators are concerned"
