NOrblad Protests Ending Portland Alaska Air Service

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Nor blad R-Ore) has protested Civil Aeronautics Board examiners recommendation for discontinu- ance of air service between Port land, Ore, and Alaska.
 The examiners recommenda- ton, now before the board, calls for ending the service now pro- vided by Pacific Northern and AL aska Airlines.
 Norblad wrote CAB chairman Chan Gurney that the effect of such a decision 'would be to pro- vide Seattle with a monopoly on air traffic into Alaska" He as serted:
 "The monopoly which Seattle has had in many fields of en- deavor in connection with Alaska over a period of years has been one of the greatest and most ma terial factors in limiting the de- velopment of that territory"
 Portland, he said, ranks second as a traffic generating source for Alaska, is a logical connecting point for interline air service and is focal point for all West Coast rail, bus, air and steamship ser vice.
 He said Portland is Alaska's main source of supply for certain products and shipment of these products to Alaska would be ma terially hampered if air service were discontinued.

Administrations Universal Military
 Service Plan Is Ceared ''To The Day |Of Active War With Soviet Union"

WASHINGTON, R - The ad- ministration has approved a uni versal military service plan gear ed, in the words of Asst. Secretary of Defense Hannah, "to the day of active war with the Soviet Union the only war that counts"
 Hannah announced National Security Council approval of the new program at a news confer ence Saturday, his last after 18 months as the Pentagon's man. power chief. He returns to his job as president of Michigan State College next week.
 The plan, which resembles pre- vious Universay Military Training blueprints, would have to be okayed by Congress to become law. The legislators have turned down similar proposals in the past.
 All qualified men under the Ma tional Security Councils policy would be required to serve in the armed services. Those who didn't enlist in a service of their choice would be inducted.
 Army and Air Force reserve or ganization as they now exist would be done away with and the National Guard, now under con- trol of the various states except in wartime, would become in ef- feet Federal National Guard.
 All Army and Air Force men would automatically be assigned to guard units after they finished regular service. Present law calls for an eight-year tour in the re- serves but provides no compul- sion on the reservists to take an active part. Hannah said he favorS putting teeth in the law by recom- mending automatic reinduction for those who don't stay active in the reserves.

Pole Reaches Asylum On Same Ship That American Scientist FleeS To Reds

LONDON, R- Britain granted temporary asylum today to a young Polish stowaway who sought freedom in the west aboard the same ship on which an Ameri- can scientist chose to flee behind the iron curtain.
 The dramatic switch of allegi- ance by the half-starved 24-year- old Pole, Antoni KlimoWicz, and the 26-year-old American physi- ologist, Dr. Joseph Cort, stirred emotions in Britain.
 Klimowicz wept as he thanked police who snatched him from Communist hands on the 3,219- ton tanker Jaroslaw DabroWski in the Thames Saturday night after he had been caught as a stoWaway.
 Dr. Cort, a self-styed former Communist, sailed with the ship early Sunday on his way to Czechoslovakia - leaving behind a charge that he faced political persecution and victimization" if he returned to the United States.
 Britain refused to grant Cort political asylum after Washing ton called him home to explain why he failed to report for mili- tary service under the draft.

Mattresses Now Air Force Base Serve Chow at

ENID, Okla., R-A CTS dream dressed in trim, white wait ress uniform-greeted Vance Air Force Base airmen as they went to chow this morning..
 Enlisted men blinked their eyes and decided that it wasn't dream after all. They were real girls - in the flesh - dishing up scrambled eggs with a smile.
 The way the men reacted, you would have thought they were sailors.
 It was only the second day of the Air Forces experiment at turning kitchen police duty over to a catering service. But the trial, due to continue for Il months, was immediately pro- nounced a tremendous success.
 Everyone was very enthusias- tic, especially the enlisted men who ordinarily pull KIP every Is or 20 days" said It. Joseph A. Hays, public information of ficer.
 The girls loved it, too.
 Sharon Ruch, stenographer for the catering firm who helped in the kitchen the first day, said she liked it SO well she's thinking of discarding her typewriter for an apron.
 Cafeteria style still prevails. But instead of the old trays where the gravy stopped over on the apple pie, good chinaware is used. The girls clean off the tables, too.
 Col. Chester Gilger, commander of the base, ate with the enlisted men and hailed the Innovation as a wonderful thing.
 "It remains to be seen whether the arrangement is economical" he remarked, "but it does boost morale 100 percent and frees the men for more important training duty"
 He said if the experiment proves successful here, civilians might be hired at permanent bases all over the country. But don't look for the KIP to become the vanishing service man. The Air Force will continue to have its own kitchen staffs for, field and overseas duty.
