Wet Mini Troops
Parade in Hanoi,
Loaded With Booty
BY The Associused Press

HANOI. Indo- China. Oct. IL.
Elements of the Communist
led Wet Mimi 3O5th and 352d
divisions, loaded down with the
booty they won at Diem Bien
Phu, paraded through the crowd
ed business section of Hanoi yes
terday.
Making their first gala ap-
pearance in the city they took
over from the French Saturday
night, the Communist National
ist army was given a spirited
welcome by the holidaying popu-
lation.
The troops entered into the
festive mood. Many of them car
ried bouquets of flowers, sang,
strummed on guitars, and played
accordions as they made their
way down the boulevard Francis
GARNER, in the center of the
city.
There was still no indication
when Wet Mimi government
chief Ho Chi Mimi and the army
commander. Gen. Vo Nguyen
Clap, would enter the city. There
have been suggestions they
would arrive october 16, the day
before Indian Prime Minister
Nehru is scheduled to stop in
Hanoi en- route to Peiping.
The military parade was a tri-
umphal entry involving about
regiment of men and 100 or so
pig-tailed Wet Mimi WACS.
Prominent among the array of
material the men trundled
through the streets were Ameri-
can 105-mm. cannon, baZookaS
and light arms captured from
the French last May at Diem
Bien Phu, as well as Russian
anti-aircraft guns. jeeps, COM
mand cars and trucks.
In midafternoon the crowds
gathered at Mangin Stadium to
cheer the raising of the yellow
starred, Red Wet Mimi flag.
Thirty-six hours before this the
French had sadly lowered the
tricolor they had flown over the
city for three quarters of a CEN
tury.

 Despite this attitude of the in terior department. efforts were made to secure the necessary funds. In all fairness to the Dele gate from Alaska, will say that he tried his best, but his best was unavailing for he was unable tC persuade the interior Department of his own political administration that the policy was in error, and without the backing of that depart ment, it appeared impossible to ob gross. That is understandable for res. That is understandable for the interior department operates the railroad and if it felt that it was unnecessary to ask for the funds, Congress would hardly go ahead on its own.
 Even the efforts of the military were of no avail in the face of this attitude of the Interior Depart. ment. In 1852. during the Demo. cratic S2nd Congress under the Truman Administration, the Army through the testimony of the then under-secretary and then Comman- der-in-Chief of the Alaskan Com mand, made presentation before the appropriations committees of both house and the Army present ed the Rehabilitation program and Dock Construction as matters of urgent military necessity. aside from civilian needs. Nothing hap pened and no money was appro- priated. Seward appeared to be at the end of her rope abandoned by the policy of the Interior Depart ment.
 Then came a change in the Ad- ministration and things began to happen early in 1853. President Eisenhower was inaugurated and there was new Congress, Repub- lican by slight majorities in both houses. A new Secretary of Inter- ior was appointed and new faces appeared in top spots in that de- partment. all with a changed atti- tude toward Alaska and a desire to help with her problems.
 In Congress itself. however, things changed more slowly. and it was difficult to make a right about-face on some of the problems. Two Alaska appropriations stirred up controversy and opposition, ane being the Eklutna Project which had run way over the original cost estimates. The other- and most important to you, was for funds for the Seward Dock and Railroad

Justice Dept. To Probe Persons In l945 FBI Report

WASHINGTON, R-Atty. Gen. Brownell says Justice Department lawyers are combing through 10000 lost documents" s"-one of which has already led to the ex- plosive Harry Dexter White case for possible follow-ups against other persons named in them.
 When the Republicans came to power last year, Brownell told CBS television interviewers Sun- day, they found a lot of papers in the Justice Department that had never been properly recorded or studied 'fbut had just been tossed in the desk drawer"
 Because of one housekeeping order 10000 lost documents were turned up," Brownell said "and some of them were of extreme importance" including the now famed 1945 FBI report on Soviet spying in the United States.
 The 1945 report was one of two FBI documents naming the late Harry Dexter White, one time Treasury official who was promoted to the international fund.
 BroWnell said Sunday the other Host documents" included cases comparable to that of White in importance.
 The documents mentioned many names whose cases should have been followed up by the Department of Justice but never got into the central records" he declared without identifying the persons named.
 Asked if the Department is fol- lowing up the cases now, he said, I've certainly are"

Sitka Businessmen Launch Support For Proposed Japanese Pulp Mill

JUNEAU, LR - Businessmen of Sitka have launched a campaign for support of the proposed estarb- ishment of Japanese backed pulp plant near the old-time capi- tai of Alaska.
 They asked support of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce. Ju- neau members have begun pre- pairing a letter of support for the Sitka project.
 The Sitka group, in letter to the Juneau Chamber, said the Sit kanS already have sent out more than 500 letters to congressman and government officials in an attempt to offset what the group describes as growing opposition of established pulp and paper in- terestS" in the states.
 The proposed pulp industry would be financed mainly by Ja- panese interests but would be op- erated with American labor.

Terri. Committee
 Investigates Profits Of Project Builder

 The witness was William Crooks of Portland, Ore, president of Anchor Homes, Inc, and Anchor Park Inc, which built 652 housing units in the Anchorage area in the past two construction seasons.
 Crooks was on the stand for close to six hours at the close of a tWo-day hearing that ran overtime until 9:3O pm. Satur- day.

Two Bush Pilots Save Six Survivors Of CAY Wreck

CURRY, Alaska, lR-Two vet eran Alaska bush pilots were credited today with saving the lives of six men tumbled into the snow mountain wilder ness near here Friday when the plane in which they were riding exploded.
 Two of the other Is men aboard the Air Force CAT when it left Elmendorf Air Force base near Anchorage on the ill-fated flight were known dead.
 Eight were missing and bush pilot Cliff Hudson who with Don Sheldon was credited with effect ing the rescue of the six surviv- Ors, said there was little chance any of the others were alive.
 The Air Force said Hudson and Sheldon saved the lives of the six who spent two nights and most of two days in subfreezing tenn perature awaiting rescue after the wrecked two engine transport was sighted.
 Hudson spotted the Wreckage late Friday. The following day Sheldon located the first three survivors huddled in the snow 15 miles from the Wreckage where they had floated down in their 'chutes.
 Sheldon, Hudson and an Air Force doctor flew to the spot in blinding snowstorm Saturday, and were grounded overnight when the weather worsened.
 Hudson struck off then on the ardous trek through 312 foot deep snow to reach the crash scene. Sheldon, meanwhile, flew his trio of survivors yesterday to Anchor age.
 Hudson said the survivors told him the plane exploded as it was flying between Air Force bases at Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 There was no warning, he quoted the survivors. They were riding along smoothly one min ute and the next thing they knew they were floating down to earth" ]" All the men were wearing para chutes, he said.
 None of the survivors were ser iously injured
