Justice Dept Asked
 ToProbe $5,OOO,OOO Unpaid Tax Claim

WASHINGTON, (P-Sen. Mar tin R-Pa) Thursday asked the Justice Department to investigate the settlement of $5,166,3 ,38O. tax claim for $295,0OO.
 Martin sain in a letter to Atty Gen. James P. McGranery that the claim was against the late William Fox, film and theater executive, for 1885 and "all prior years"
 The senator said the claim in- volved taxes, penalties and inter- est and that from information he acquired ''it would appear that the government could have re- covered the entire amount"
 Martin said that at the time of the settlement in 1941 the FyBI decided Fox he'd erred in report ing the date of an important stock transfer and that the trans fer was not made until four years after the date he had given. Mar tin said the Internal Revenue Blu reau knew of the FBI's findings.
 Martin said the compromise set clement was accepted by the then attorney-general, Francis Riddle, on Dec. 5, 1941, and the money was paid to the collector of inter nal revenue in New York on Feb. 19, 1922.
 Informed of Martins letter to McGranery, Commissioner of In ternal Revenue John Dunlap re- leased a letter to Chairman Wal ter F. George D-Ga) of the Sen- ate Finance Committee, Of which Martin is a member.
 Dunlap's lengthy letter, dated June q, was similar in content to Martln'S s letter. II Sald that, before the compromise settlement was accepted, the Revenue Bureau had informal" advice that the trust for Mrs. Fox was not executed until 1885. IL said that, while legal memoranda and correspon- dence mention an FBI report, no FBI report on the case apparently was ever received by the Revenue Bureau.
 Dunlap said the Revenue Bu- reau settled for $295,O00 because it felt that was all that could be obtained.

Karl Marx.
 The Russians and Americans are such close neighbors they can hear what each other is doing.
 Persons on American-owned St. Lawrence Island, which is close to the water boundary and to the southeast corner of the Siberian Peninsula, report they hear sounds of explosions. Kepner did not offer any explanation for the ex- plosions, nor did he appear to at tach any grave significance to them. They could be bombing practice, gunfire training or dyna- miting for construction work.
 Despite the powder keg possi- bilities in the close proximity of the two nations long engaged in cold war, so far there has been no known incidents except for strong suspicion the Reds are oc- casionally making high-speed re- connaissance flights to see what Americans are doing defensewise in westernnost Alaska and the Aleutian chain.
 Alaska is one place where the Soviets, lacking merchant marine shipping to provide easy trans port for an invasion, can literally jump onto American soil.
 Maps show that at one point on the tip of the Siberian Penin- sula Russian airfield is within a few minutes flying time from Alaska's Seward Peninsula, and that other Soviet airdromes, like those at Chukotsky and Smidta Bays, are within a couple of hours flying time.
 Kepner did not profess to know what the Russians have ready or can do. But he grants them the assumption they are as well pre- pared for an air invasion as the United States is in it's airborle program.

Alaska Seems Ready and Alert to Meet
 Sudden Red Attack, Says AP Writer
By Alton Fay


 Associated Press Military Affairs Writer ELMENDORF AIR ORCE
 BASE, Alaska, (P)-Alaska, which might be the first to feel Rus sian strike against the United States, now seems ready for quick build-up of fighting men and warplanes to parry such an attack.
 Lieut.. Gen. William E. Kepner, chief of the combined ground, sea
 and air Alaska Command, told re-
 porters Thursday he believes this
 bastion point for northwest de- | lenses of the nation is in far
 better condition of readiness than at any time since the end of the war. ..~ Even an initial look by visiting neWsmen at bases they flew over enroute here appeared to confirm this.
 Here at this busy headquarters and big airfield, in things which may not be discussed in detail, an air of alertness for attack at any moment is apparent.
 Not at any installation in the continental United States is pre- paredness so evident. There is no huge force of either ground or air troops based permanently in | Alaska. Nor is it either intended CT desired that there should be. It was indicated some time ago in Washington the plan was to make Alaska thoroughly ready to receive such forces almost instant ly, but for reasons of strategy
 and economy to keep them based
 in continental United States ex-
 cept for rotational training or maneuVers here.
 That physical preparations for such program are now virtually | complete is apparent in new troop housing, hangars, repair and ser
 vice facilities and huge airfields for handling the biggest bombers and fastest jet fighters. To get troops here in hurry, it is obvious the military depends l on a rapid airlift by a fleet of multi ngined planes, and addi- tional movement of men and sup plies over the Alcan Highway and by sea transport from west coast
 ports
 Alaska is the only place; in the
 world where the military of the I Soviet Union and the United States
 can look across their back yard fence at each other. Only 60 miles
 Of the Boring Strait separate the mainlands.
 In fact, brochure of the Alas kan Command points out 'the smallest distance separating North | America from Asia occurs be- tween Little and Big Diomede Islands: on Little Diomede pie ture Of Abraham Lincoln adorns the schoolhouse, while on Big Diomede, three miles away, the schoolhouse contains a portrait of

Stock Prices Advant
Fractions 10 Point
In Spirited Trading
By the Associated Pres.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Advances
of fractions to around point ran
through most of the major groups
on the stock market today.
It was steady upward move
ment and activity was brisk from
the opening gong.
Railroad stocks and utilities
were among those groups most in
demand. But the persistent ad-
vances spread through such other
Icategories as steels, radio-TV,
chemicals and oils.
There were losses interspersed
through the list but the gains
were far in the majority. Most
of the declines were fractions.
Traders attributed the handful
of weak spots to tax selling and
in some instances a disappoint-
ment over the failure of retail
trade to pick up more quickly.
The rails. were among the
earliest gamers and some of the
better advances were in this
group.
At times Southern Railway and
Union Pacific were up around a
point. Equally good gamers at
one point were Bethlehem Steel,
Goodyear Rubber, Boeing Aircraft,
Zenith Radio, American Cyanamid
and Amerada.
The list of fractional advances
and most of them were substantial
fractions-was long. 1t included
United States Steel, Republic
Steel, General Motors, Goodrich,
Sears Roebuck, Caterpillar, Ad-
miral Corp. American Telephone,
Kennecott Copper. Du Pont, Gen.
eral Electric. New York Central,
Standard Oil New Jersey, Pan
American AirwayS and Paramount.
Among the handful of losers
were United States Gypsum, Doug
las and Trans World AirlineS.
The bond market was a narrow
mixture of gains and losses, while
Governments were steady in over
the-counter trading.
