compensation in connection with
official duties by the third bill fa
vorably acted upon by the sub
committee. At the present time a
per diem of $10 is paid to each
commissioner for traveling to and'
from and while in actual attend

meetings. However, no compensa

actually engaged in investigations,1
meetings and hearings for ^he i

The fourth measure approved is
Delegate Bartlett’s bill to provide |
transportation on army a:rp!anes

transportation would be limited to1
one round trip between Alaska

providing “that no such traffic by

Russia May Block
Effective Aid
Europe Plan
(By John M. Hightower)
<(/P) Diplomatic Reporter)
WASHINGTON (/P)_Secretary
of State Marshall and his top ad
visers have now worked out an
approach to what they consider
the twin threats of chaos and
Communist in Europe.
Their program will either unite
much of that continent by this
year’s end or divide it worse than
before—depending on Russian re
action.
Diplomatic officials say that if
Russia hold to her refusal to co
operate it almost certainly will
force the organization of western
Europe alone into a sort of econo
mic federation that would mean
Russia and her eastern bloc of
states would be cut off from any
substantial American help.
Marshall is reported to hope this
will not happen, that Russia will
go along or at least permit some
of the dominated countries to go
along with the American proposal
for some kind of economic federa
tion of Europe. His policy appar
ently is one of an “open door’’ to
Russian cooperation; if the door is
to be closed, Russia will have to
j close it.
However, the probability that
she will do so is considered here
to be very great. Undersecretary
of State Dean Acheson said as
much in a speech at Middletown,
Conn., last night. He told a Wes
leyan University commencement
audience:
“The minority Communist re
gimes (of Eastern Europe) have
acted to cut the people off econo
mically from the community of
: Europe, curtail their productivity,
and to bind them to exclusive
economic relations with the Sov
i iet Union.”
j . While President Truman did
I not comment directly on the prob
I lems involved, he also took occa
sion over the week end to de
nounce three of the regimes in
eastern Europe, those of Hungary,
Romania and Bulgaria. He said
they “not only have disregarded
the will of the majority of the
people but have resorted to mea
sures of oppression against them.”
At the same time Mr. Truman
praised the efforts of the Italians
who, he said, “are rebuilding with
their own labors a new democracy
and restoring their last freedoms.”
He promised continued American
help to Italy.
The occasion for his comments,
making a sharp distinction be
tween eastern and western coun
tries was the signing of the for
mal ratification of the peace treat
ies with the four countries.
Jobs 'Not Plentiful
In Alaska
KETCHIKAN, W—The Ketch
ikan central labor council (AFL"*
is sending to all central labor
councils and building trades coun
cils of the western states letters
to discourage the unemployed
from coming north unless they
have jobs and have been assured
living quarters.
The council said Saturday “there
seems to be a lot of advertising
and publicity on numerous jobs
in Alaska. This is more than seri
ous since there are no jobs avail
able.”
Workers for all the trades have
been arriving by plane, steamship
and over the Alcan highway, the
council said.
Wallace Has
Right To Speak
In Washington
WASHINGTON, (/P) —Federal
Justice James M. Proctor refused
today to bar Henry A. Wallace
from speaking at the government- j
owned Watergate ampitheater
here today.
The judge rejected a petition
from the American Anti-Com
munist association, headed by
Rep. O’Konski fR.-Wisd, that he
order secretary of interior J. A.
Krug to deny Wallace use of the
Watergate.
Krug’s department has jurisdic
tion over the Watergate, an out- j
door theater in park lands near
Lincoln Memorial.
“These matters do not fall with- i
in the judicial realm,” Justice j
Proctor commented in dismissing!
the petition.
O’Konski left the court building
with a declaration to reporters
that he would take the matter up

“1 am going to tell the member

government takes a truly anti

Wallace, who is crusading
against the Truman foreign policy,
is expected to discuss his views on
peace and perhaps also clarify his
position in the Presidential cam
