Poultry.

Continued from page ID
c. A.; dealers in Juneau, Anch-
orage and Fairbanks market
areas.
Alaskan egg producers could
increase their units to create an
important market, Hamann stat
cd. Many farms operate their egg
business on basis of about 100
hens. With increased flocks up to
three to five hundred, the farmer
would find the greatest return
from the market. Their shipments
would be regular, instead Of a
surplus Of what they can use
themselves or sell to private in
dividual customers.
The Importance of good handl-
ing by the retailer to maintain
the quality of eggs was stressed
by the poultry specialist.
Hamann commented favOrably
on the program being carried out
BY the Territorial Department of
Agriculture. Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Crowthers understand the pro-
blems and are doing a fine job
in working them OUT, he said.
Commissioner Wilson and Crow
theirs are accompanying Hamann
on his visits to other areas.

Gen. Twiningg Says
USAF Is the Power
That Reds Respect

BOSTON, Up Gen. Nathan f.
Twining warned today that a
FLOOD Of aircraft streaming from
the aviation arsenals Of the Soviet
Union holds far more potential
danger than the mightiest hurri-
cane"
The Air Force chief of staff
said the United States today is
"well ahead in the kind of air
power the Soviets respect" But
he cautioned that Russian aircraft
production is catching up fast not
only in quantity but in quality.
eff we do let the Reds catch
up in air power" Twining de-
clared, "you may be certain that
a Soviet attack would be more
likely than it is now"
He said the ''battle for prepar-
edness is getting harder instead
Of easier" and that the nation is
still almost two years away from
the 137-wing goal set for the Air
Force in 1853.
Twining said the radar warn
ing line along the U.S.-Canadian
boundary is now complete and
work is we'll under way on a
mid Canada line. But he said the
"Dew," or distant early warning
line, in the Arctic is just getting
started.
The general said it will be an
other year before the Air Defense
Command gets supersonic inter
ceptors capable of destroying en-
envy aircraft with guided missiles.
He described the B-52 as "the
best Jet bomber in the world to-
day"
Twining said the Tactical Air
Command has developed to a
point where it is now possible
to meet large or small challenges
almost anywhere on the world.

France Replaces Grandval
AS Resident General Of
Strife-Ridden Morocco

PARIS, R- France today an
nounced the resignation of Gill
bert Grandval, her top admins
trative officer in her troubled
Moroccan protectorate.
AS expected, Gen. Pierre Boyer
de Letour was named to succeed
Grandval as resident general. The
general, who has been resident
general in Tunisia, left Tunis for
Rabat, the Moroccan capital.
Grandval, who went to Rabat
July 7 with orders to relax the
French rule, built up popularity
with many Moroccan nationalist
but drew the ire Of European resi-
dents of the protectorate who OPP
pose giving the natives a stronger
hand.
The colonists blame his "weak"
policy for the native uprising on
Aug. 20 in which more than 1000
Moroccans and French were
killed. Neutral observers consid-
cred the uprising were due to the
French governments delay in
granting some measure of self
rule to the nationalist.
The French hope that de Latour
who for many years held military
commands in Morocco, will salts
fly both nationalist and French
colonials.

Pan American Personnel
Threaten To Strike For
Pay Raises and Conditions

NEW YORK, Maintenance
and flight service personnel of
Pan American World Anyways
have authorized their union to
call strike any time after their
labor contract expires at midnight
tonight.
No specific strike deadline was
set and federal mediation sessions
today are expected to defer any
immediate walkout.
The Go Transport Workers
Union said a strike would affect
Pan Am operations all around the
world. "A spokesman for the COM
pany said this would depend on
how many employees in the far
flung Pan Am system obeyed the
strike call.
The union has asked for raise
Of 18 cents an hour for hourly
rated employees, who now average
$2.1O an hour. For flight stewards,
who now make 1878 a month, it
seeks a boost of $45 a month.
Also in dispute are demands for
a 3O-hour work week instead of
40 hours, guaranteed year
round layoff pay plan, improved
pensions and triple time instead
Of double time for holidays.
