Reds Ignore Allied
 Nomination of Pakistan Neutral Custodian POWs

PANMUNJOM, R = A LIN. truce negotiator today said "zero" progress had been made toward a Korean armistice after the Reds rejected a proposal to free North Korean prisoners who refuse to go home after truce is signed.
 The Reds again ignored the AL lied nomination of Pakistan as neutral custodian of 48,50O prison CTS who refuse to return to their Communist homelands.
 Instead, Gen. Nam II charged the Allied proposal was "void of reason" and unworthy of refuta- tion." He reiterated the Red de- mand that baking captives be shipped to a neutral nation and that the functions of the neutral be ironed out before deciding anything else.
 It. Gen. William K. Harrison suggested that the 32,O00 North Koreans be freed immediately after a truce is signed and that they be given civilian status so they could settle anywhere in Korea.

House Committee Raps CAA For Poor Planning

WASHINGTON, R-The House Appropriations Committee accus- es the Civil Aeronautics Admins tration of "either poor planning and management or deliberate attempt to thwart the action of Congress-" in connection with building of airports at Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 The committee so reported in eliminating $6OO,O0O from tn e agency's budget for operation of the two airports in the 12 months beginning July l. The committee cut the amount to $500,000 and the House went along with this figure in passing the Commerce Dept. appropriation bill yester- day.
 Specifically deleted in tn e $600,00O cut was $416,0OO asked for extension of water and sewer systems at the two airports.
 The committee said that of IT million dollars appropriated for the two airports to date, $1,782,5 has been spent on the Anchorage terminal building and $165, 145 for sewer and water systems there At Fairbanks $777,526 is being spent on the terminal building and only $17,041 for sewer and water systems.
 "It is to be noted," the commit tee said, ''that the funds being spent for the terminal buildings at both airports are considerably in excess of those set forth in the justifications to the committee when the construction funds were requested and that funds for the sewer and water systems are less than the amount justified before the committee at that time"

WASHINGTON, R-The House Interior Committee wants Interior Secretary Mckay to make further study of the Eklutna hydroelectric project near Anchorage.
 Iii a letter made public by the committee, Chairman Miller told Mckay the Territories subcom- mittee does not wish to proceed with further hearings on legisla- ton to increase the authorized appropriation for Eklutna until the secretary has reviewed cer- tain problems concerning the in- crease and supplied the commit tee with additional information.
 The Eklutna project was author ized two years ago at an esti- mated cost of $20,365, ,OOO. Current estimates run $35,3O0,00O. Interior spokesmen have said that changes in design as well as increased costs are responsible for the boost ed estimates.

Only One Lode Mine In Alaska Still Producing Gold

JUNEAU, tR - Lode mining, once a fairly important part of the gold industry in Alaska, has slipped to the point where only one lode mine is operating pri- marily for gold in the territory today, reports Phil R. Holdsworth, Territorial Mines Commissioner.
 Holdsworth, who just returned from an all-AlaSka tour of mining operations, reported that all other hardrOck mines in the territory are producing other ores, mostly for metals considered strategic in the US. defense program.
 The sole remaining gold lode operation is the Creighton Mine, located with a mill, on Pedro Dome near Fairbanks, Holdsworth said.
 Alaska's current gold produc- tion, he reported, comes princi- pally from 199 placer outfits which range in size from giant dredges down to shovel and sluice box ventures.
 G.ode mining, or extraction of gold from deep in the rock, has become increasingly expensive in recent years because of the ex- tensive and costly equipment needed, which must be shipped from the states. About 40 per cent of Alaska's gold was produced by this method from 1919 to 1940 but it had slipped to one per cent in 1947, gold reports showo

Limited Protection To NeWSmen Sources

WASHINGTON, LP - A bill to give newsmen limited protection for their information sources in federal cases today was assured consideration by the House Judi ciary Committee.
 The bill would exempt report CTS from being required to reveal their news sources generally in federal courts, before federal grand juries or to congressional committees. It would apply to those actually gathering news for publications, news services, radio and television broadcasts.
 However, it would provide for exceptions to the protection when ever federal court rules that dis closure of sources lis necessary in the interests of national secur- ity, or to avoid the concealment of a crime, or to enable the de- fendant to make his defense"

Defense Dept. To Suspend Work On Atomic Engines

WASHINGTON, tR - T h e Washington Post said today the Defense Department has decided to suspend it's projects for devel- opment of atomic powered air planes and aircraft carriers.
 Precise reasons for the decision were not clear, the story said, mentioning that 10 to 12 million dollars already has been spent on the effort.
 But defense officials were quoted as saying in private con- versations that the action is in line with general economy moves and the over all program of stretching out the time for reach ing full re-armament goals.
 Thus, the officials said, the start on an aircraft carrier with atomic power, once scheduled for the fiscal year 1855, might be put off for couple of years but not abandoned.
 The Post suggested, however, that a different reason seems to have been. hinted by Roger M. Kyes, deputy secretary of de- fense, in closed-door testimony to the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee last week.
 The story said Kyes is reported to have told the committee the development of atomic aircraft and naval vessels would go fast CT if there were more and freer participation by private industry, and that whatever time is lost in suspending the projects Q w would be made up. later by more vigorous operations by free enter prise.
 This was taken as suggestion from Kyes that the basic atomic energy law should be amended to allow participation by private in- dustry under less strict condi- tions.

Adm. Gives Private Industry Go-Ahead On Power Sites

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover administration has decided to sidetrack public in favor of private development of a big western water project and con- gressional reaction ranges from approval to turn the rascals out"
 Secretary of the Interior Me Kay, making the announcement yesterday, said the administration will allow private enterprise to develop hydroelectric power wherever possible so long as it does not interfere with proper development of natural re- sources"
 Mckay told a news conference he has decided to set aside, at least for the present, plans for a 560-million-dollar federal dam at Hell's Canyon along the Ore gon Idaho border. The depart ment, he said, will no longer op- pose substitute proposal by the privately owned Idaho Power Co. to build for 23 million dollars the first of three dams on the Snake River in the same area.
 Asked if he was considering abandoning the idea of a federal project at Hell's Canyon, he re- piled, Could be-"
 But Sen. Morse Qnd-Ore) inter preted the decision as further proof of his contention that ''the Eisenhower administration would be a tool of American monopolies."
 'Never was it more appropriate to say that in the next election the people should turn the rascals out'," he declared.
 Sen. Jackson O. Wash) said the department had "abdicated it's responsibility" for developing "a multi purpose project involv- ing matters directly under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior, to wit: irrigation and power the people of the Northwest are not interested in fence sitters when we are faced with the most critical power shortage in our history"
 Sen. Magnuson D-Wash) said the site belongs to all the people and it is the duty of the Depart ment of the Interior to represent the peoples rights"

Senate Bill To Give States Title to Off-Sh0re Lands May Pass House Soon

WASHINGTON, R-The bill to give the states title to oil-laden submerged lands off their shores, debated in the Senate for more than a month may pick up marked speed and wind up within a few days on the desk of President Eisenhower, who has indicated he will sign it.
 The measure which the Senate passed 56-35 late yesterday, after an acrimonious debate which started April 1, differs in one major respect and some minor ones from the measure approved earlier by the House.
 But efforts were being made to persuade the House Republican leadership that the best course would be for the House to accept the Senate version, rather than risk new Senate talkfest over a compromise.
