As you. know, the Alaska High

that Territory were threatened by
enemy action,” Eisenhower wrote
to the Senator.
‘Tn order to utilize the protected
inside passage water route in con
junction with the Alaska highway
the war department constructed a

“The overall value of such an al
Urnate route of communications
during World War II justified its
i instruction and maintenance.
“In peacetime, however, the in
terest of the war department in

\ ith its strategic value.
•Considering this view point

justified at this time in participat

said today that in rioting between

jured. Nine persons were killed
and 50 wounded in similar dis
turbances in Calcutta and Cawn
pore.
A noon communique said au
thorities had conditions under con
trol although tension continued in
the areas v^ere Sunday demon

placed at strategic points.
A maze of unconfirmed rumors
spread throughout the area as to
the cause of the disorders, which
resulted in fierce gang fights, stab
bings and arson, including the fir
ing of a cotton mill.
Fighting was the heaviest in
areas where Hindu and Moslem
districts converged and in sections
of mixed population. Fisticuffs and
the hurling of soda water bottles
added to the confusion.
