Anchorage To Get
Cement Plant
ANCHORAGE, (A3) — The Per
manente Cement Co., will start
construction of a $200,000 plant on
the Anchorage waterfront next
spring to bring a 25 per cent re
duction in the cost of cement in
Alaska.
George Sundborg. consultant
for the Alaska Development Board,
said the last obstacle for the pro
ject was removed last week at a
McKinley Park parley when inte
rior department officials agreed i
' to the program.
F t . manente has wanted to build
such a plant here for some time.
Sundborg, who arrived Satur
day from McKinley Park, where
he took part in an Alaska field
committee meeting, said F’erma
nente plans to operate barges di
rectly from Seattle to Anchorage
to handle cement in bulk instead
of in sacks.
Pumps will be used to unload
the barges and blow the cement
into sil storage.
A sark ng plant will be used to j
prep- ’ the cement for shipment
to oth*. • points throughout Alaska,
but truuks will haul cement in
bulk form to local consumers.
The plant will have a 100,000
barrel capacity, believed suffi

Overseas Arms
Aid Program
(By Don Whitehead)
WASHINGTON, (/P) —Swift
agreement in a Senate-House com
mittee on a $3,314,010,000 overseas
arms program sped along yester
day one U. S. answer to Russia’s
a-bomb claims.
The news of an atomic blast in
Russia served to speed agreement
among the lawmakers that friend
ly nations must be strengethencd
against the threat of communism.
A Senate-House conference late
Monday sidetracked a House econ
omy move and agreed, in three
hours, on the higher cost program
voted earlier by the Senate. The
discarded House figure was $869.
415,000, or $444,595,000 less than 1
the agree-upon Senate figure.
The conferees worked on final
small points yesterday. This will
clear the way for final Congres- (
sional action, first by the House
and then by the Senate.
Chairman Connally (D.-Tex.) of !
the Senate foreign relations com
mittee told reporters the Russian I
atomic reports “have given the
arms program new strength.”
Republican Senators Bridges of
New Hampshire and Knowland of
California agreed.
Usually, conferees appointed to
settle Senate-House differences
reach agreemnts by an in-between
compromise. In this case the House
members dropped any pretense of
fighting for the lower figure. And
as the authorization bill now
stands it contains:
SI,000,000,000 for the North At
lantic pact nations;
-211.370.000 for Greece and Tur
key;
$27,640,000 for Iran. Korea and
the Philippines; $75,000,000 which
may be spent by the President—
as he sees fit—in the China area;
Permission to ship $450,000,000
of surplus arms.
House members insisted on only
relatively minor changes in the
arms plan voted by the Senate.
“The earth shook.” he said, af
ter the quake.
“Great Scott!” exclaimed a lis
tener, “That reminds me. I forgot
to post my wife's letter.”
cient for needs along the rail-belt.
Interior department approval
was needed to make the Anchor
age waterfront available for the;
new enterprise.

needs only a new government
which could inspire confidence at
home and abroad.
“I believe strength, working
freely and backed up by intense
productive efforts of all the com
munities concerned, would :n a
short while achieve a far better
rate of exchange against the pres
ent figure of $2.80. to which we
have been condemned," Churchill
said.
Churchill said Britain must:
1. Cut taxes to increase the in
centive to work, especially among
wage earners direct.
2. Ease up on “needless and vex
atious controls and interference
with the flexibility of private en
terprise.”
3. Elect a government which
could command national and in
ternational confidence.
Churchill made only passing
reference to the news that Russia
has achieved an atomic explosion.
He dealt chiefly with Russia’s eco
nomic woes, which he said brought
: the country to a predicament
' both 'serious and strange."
