Services Post for Ferguson
Would Open Up District Job
If Michigan Senator Heads Armed Force
Subcommittee, He Cont HundIe City Funds


Senator Ferguson next in line
for that post.
It was learned also from a
reliable source that the Appro-
priations Committee will not as
sign two money bills to the same
Senator.
Senator Ferguson has been one
of the leaders of the economy
bloc in Congress, and as chair
man of the Armed Services SUBJ
committee would have charge of
about 60 per cent Of the entire
budget. The Michigan Senator
was out of the city today.
If he takes the Armed Services
job. the Craftsmanship of the
District of Columbia Subcommit-
tee will, be wide open. It may
even go to one of the new mem
bers OF the Appropriations Com
mittee, who will not be selected
until next week.
Other likely appropriation sub
committee chairmen are:
Senator Gordon, Republican, of
Oregon - The Interior subcom-
mittee which handles Western
reclamation projects.
Post for Saltonstall.
Senator Saltonstall. Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts-The In
dependent Offices subcommittee,
which handles such big agencies
as the Veterans Administration
and Atomic Energy Committee.
Senator Young, Republican,
of North Dakota-The Agricul-
ture subcommittee, which han
dies funds for all Of the farm
programs.
Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican, of California-The Civil
Functions subcommittee, which
handles money for rivers and
harbors and hood-control prof.
ects.
Senator !Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota-The Labor-Federal
Security subcommittee, which
handles money for the Labor
Department and all of the Gov
ernment social welfare programs.
Senator Mccarthy, Republi-
can, of Wisconsin, is next in
seniority after Senator Thye. He
would be in position to claim
either the legislative Subcom-
mittee, which handles money for
the Congress, or the subcom-
mittee which allots funds to the
Treasury. and Post Office De-
partments.
Morse Maps Battle.
Meanwhile. Senator Morse. Of
Oregon, is preparing to make q
last-ditch fight in the Senate
Tuesday to keep his places on
the Labor and Armed Services
Committees. He is in danger of
losing the posts for having bolted
the Republican Party last fan.
Senator Case, Republican, Of
South Dakota, who handled q
committee reorganization resolll-
tion in the Senate yesterday, said
the Republican theory is that
Senator Morse lost his eight
years of seniority as a Repub-
lican and is starting out anew
as an Independent.
Leaders Of both major parties
viii be busy over the week end
making out committee assign
ments. Indications are Senator
Morse win land on two less Inn
portant committees.
Senator Morse served notice
yesterday that If he Is taken OH
his present committees he win
seek a roll call vote on a move
to have the Senate itself give
him his present assignments. In
practice the Senate usually rati-
f1es routinely the assignments
agreed on BY the two major
parties.

300 Allied Planes

Attack Follows Ruid

Rise to Challenge
By the Associated Press

SEOUL, Jan. 10.-Allied war
planes, 300-strong, smashed a
vital Communist railroad net

Manchuria today after II B-29
Super Forts bombed the area
last night.
The 5th Air Force said pilots
reported flames and smoke bill
lowing over the target could be
seen for more than 80 miles.
Waves of fighter -bombers from
four wings and one United
States Marine air group bat
tered the network just north of
Sinanju in far Northwest Korea,
the targets including nine key
railroad and highway bridges
spanning the Chongchon and
Taeryong Rivers.
The Air Force said the massive
raid started early this afternoon,
with the first wave of fighter
bombers sweeping in low and
hitting anti-aircraft emplace-
mentS.
No Challenge From MICS.
Pilots following the first wave
reported little ground fire.
The Air Force said huge clouds
of smoke obscured full damage
assessment, but that five build
ings were destroyed, the rail line
cut in at least four approach
stretches and five rail bridges
knocked out.
Taking part in the raid were
F-84 Thunderjets, F-8O Shoot
ing Stars. propeller-driven Mus
tangs and Corsairs.
They were shielded by swept
wing U. S. Sabre jets, patrolling
along MIG Alley farther north,
but no MICS rose to challenge

The Communists funnel the
bulk OF their war supplies into
North Korea from Manchuria on
the route through Sinanju to
Pyongyang. Korean Communist
capital.
B-29s unloaded II tons of
bombs on four targets in q 10
mile area outside Sinanju last
night. They hit anti-aircraft
guns. a rail bridge and rail yard
at Yongmi and another rail yard
at MaeJung.
Ground fire against the
bombers was reported light to
intense, but the night raid was
not interrupted by MICS.
No Word on Strafing.
There still was no official re-
port on the investigation into
the straf1ng and bombing of an

Of the territory for the event, we'll many from

On Indian Claims: They must
be settled. Indians must be fair
ly compensated for any loss.
Improvement Of Transportation
Facilities: Alaska must have
cheaper and uninterrupted water
transportation and further extern
sion of the road system.
Revision Of Public Land Law:
More lands must be gotten into
private ownership.
Wafer Power Development: 1t
is one of Alaska's greatest assets.
The governor favors private de-
velopment, but public develop
ment may be necessary on the
larger projects.
Oil. Coal and Gas: These re-
sources must be given intensive
study. The possibility Of a for
eign coal market must be investi-
gated. Pulp, lumber and iron ore
are possible exports to Japan.
Tax Incentives: A study should
be made Of incentive laws as a
means of attracting industry.
Municipal Improvements: The
territory may have to help cities
and towns. Satisfied families of
workers are important to indus
trial concerns. The condition of
schools, hospitals, streets and
water supplies may determine
whether or not certain areas will
get new industries.

"We Alaskans are long-suf-
fering people"
Gordon Rowe, Port of Seattle
Commission head, said national
ization of the maritime industry
might be necessary, "as a last re-
Sort" to pull shipping out of what
he described as 'chaos."
He said he eyed such a sug-
gestion reluctantly, but added:
"We may have to come to it..
Under the present trend, I don't
see how our merchant marine is
going to be able to compete with
foreign merchant marines"
E. N. Altman, business agent for
the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association, took sharp issue with
Rowe. He said naturalization of
shipping is ''far fetched idea"
which would destroy free enter
prise.
He contended a common sense
approach to the problem should
solve it and charges that the Seat
tie Chamber of Commerce "has
done nothing" to correct it.
The Volunteer Maritime Advis-
cry committee, including both
Seattle and Alaska residents,
drew repeated praise during the
hearing.

Ralph Lomen Tells Alaskans' Concern
Over Seattle Shipping Strikes As
Congressional Hearings Open

SEATTLE, Up = Alaska a N d
Seattle representatives joined at a
congressional hearing opening
here Wednesday in suggestions
for ending shipping tie : ups to
Alaska.
Ralph Lomen, Of Nome and
Seattle, told the House subcom-
mittee that Alaskans worry more
about the next shipping tie up
than about any invasion threat
from Russia.
Lomen-with assent from other
Alaskans-said people in the ter
ritory suffer acutely with every
strike on the Seattle waterfront
because we are totally depend
ent on sea and air transportation"

committee Of the House commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, said after the opening
session he. was encouraged by

During the day long meeting,
labor spokesman said they were
agreeable to the establishment of
uniform contract expiration dates
for all maritime unions. Most ev-
eryone agreed this would elm
mate a month-to-month threat of
strike.
A group from Anchorage urged
that air service be given equal
consideration Of non scheduled
flights, which the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board is in the process of
restricting. They mentioned spe-
officially Air Transport Associates,
Inc, which is under orders to
cease operations.
Make Weisbarth, port agent for
the Sailors Union of the Pacific,
said he would welcome a con-
gressional investigation Of I'M
American activities in Seattle.
Weisbarth said there was i'm
provement in the waterfront; that
at one time six pickets could tie
up the whole port.
Delbert Bailey, Anchorage gro
Ger, headed a delegation of An
chorage residents here to empha-
size to the subcommittee the
necessity for uninterrupted COM
munications between Alaska and
the continental United States.
''The weakness Of the territory
of Alaska will be the weakness. of
the United States in time of war;"
Bailey said. 1.-THE people of An
chorage are up in arms and down
here today because something has
to be done
"A seven day strike on the
Seattle waterfront means Alaska
is seven days weaker. Alaska is
our first line of defense, and if
Alaska is weak the whole Pacific
coast will be weak"
