A link between the Pacific Coast, Alaska and the industrial middle west will soon be pro vided by seagoing bargeS and fast towboats, according to an- nounced plans of Alaska Freight Lines, Inc.
 The company has applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to open the new intercoastal service on a month 1y basis
 ''We have spent the last year and half in research or trans portation on the Mississippi River and the inland waterways of the middle west" said E. W. Hund- ley, executive vice president of Alaska Freight Lines. He added that they feel there is great po- tential for movement of freight in the proposed area.

1T IS SEWARD. ANCHORAGE" HIGHWAY

Alaska Road Commission off cials seem slightly irked by the proclivity of Alaskans for call ing highways by their old, fa- miliar names instead of the off cial names by which the were dedicated.
 For instance, the Palmer road" out of Anchorage is not the Palmer road at all, but the Glenn Highway. In like manner, Sewardites speak of "the Kenai road" the missing link" or the Hope road" when they really mean the Seward-Anchorage Highway, which is the official name for the road that comprises parts of all three of the former road names. Also officially, miles on this highway will be counted off from Seward, beginning with zero at the city limits.

IDENTIFICATION FOR STATESIDE TRAVEL

AlaskanS planning to go Out side after Christmas have been much perturbed over the incon- venience of obtaining identifica- tion cards to pass the Immigra- ton and Naturalization Service regulations imposed by the Mo Carran Immigration Act, which becomes effective Dec. 24.
 A letter from Paul V. Clumper, Officer in charge, may clear up some apprehensions. We give it in full:
 Several inquiries have been received from residents of Sew ard regarding issuance of United Citizens Identification Cards. In the inquiries it was indicated that Che presentation of these was compulsory before Alaskans could leave the Territory. Such is not the case.
 "The Identification Cards can be issued by this office and would simplify the inspection of a tra- eveler not only in leaving Alas ka but in travtlling through Can ada and Mexico. However, any good Identification or birth record should be sufficient for presenta- ton to the Immigration officers. Persons who are not citizens of the United States should carry their alien registration card.
 Tt is hoped that this will clar- ify some of the misunderstanding about operation of the McCarran Act which takes effect December 24, 1852. It is contemplated at the present time that npseoitcn present time that inspection of persons travelling hJ aircraft will be made in Alaska and that per sons traVeing by boat will be in-

Truman Declares 15N Tax Cut Impossible For Any President

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman said Thursday the. steel strike is creating a serious situ- ation, Gen. Eisenhower is still a friend of his and no President can cut taxes 15 percent.
 Truman raced through those subiects-and few other-at his news conference. He said that he isn't running for office, so he can give the facts about cutting taxes. Actually, he said, they ought to be increased in order to meet the deficit.
 Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio said Wednesday he would put in a 15 percent tax cut if he became President.
 Eisenhower has not gone as far as Taft in promising a tax reduc- ton but he has said a reduction would be possible in about two years.

Kepner Knows Of No Plan To
 Abandon Alaska"
CThe Anchorage Times)

It. Gen. William E. Kepner, commanding general of the Alas kan Command, recently reiterated that Alaska would be defended, in replying to an Anchorage Times request for comment on recently published statement in the Wall Street Journal.
 In the June issue of the Pa cific Coast edition of the Journal an item from the publications Washington bureau declared that the US. plans to abandon Alaska if Russia ever attacks there.
 Deciding it can't be defended, the military will station only few regiments and fighter wings in the area" the article stated.
 Present strategy would let the Reds grab western Alaska and most of the Aleutians; Nome would fall last. The US. would retreat. but drub the Soviets from the air to keep them from fully using their new bases," the arti- cle continued.
 "But this marrying would be difficult against MICS CT newer Red fighters. With air bases, weather and refueling stations, the Soviets could still bomb the northwestern US. with short range but fast jet bomberS.
 "Alaska's loss would mean oth- CT headaches: A poorer US. radar net to warn of Russian raids, few CT advanced fighter bases for in tercepting long-distance raiders, the article concluded.
 As he has on other occasions, Kepner asserted that the territory would be defended.
 Since the strategy for the de- fense of Alaska is determined by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I cannot comment on the content Of this article except to say that I know of no plan to abandon Alaska" the general stated.
 s'I do know of a plan to defend Alaska. am so directed and will do SC to the best of my ability"
