SECOND DIVISION NEEDS ROADS !
Roads, more and more of them, was the keynote of
the Chamber of Commerce banquet last week.
Every kind of development hinges on them, every
type of progress depends on them, everv hooe of ade
quate defense depends on them—vet everv mile of road
progression must be fought for and battled over on this
northern frontier.
Our most imoortant link on the 1951 road program
is the Nome-Solomon Road—but the military leaders
recommended it be stricken from the budget with the
same nonchalance that removed Marks Air Force Base.
Military leaders in the Territory have voiced the i
opinion again and again, that roads are the lifeline of
our defense, and they may be the first to feel the result
of their error in long range planning by the lack of this
important communication link. j
They have already been rebuked in this session of the:
Congress by Senator Morse for their lack of foresight m!
closing Marks Air Force Base. It looks like they are
•sticking their necks out for another, unless the recon- j
sider and allow the original allocation of funds for the j
project—which is a link in the Nome-Fairbanks Road.

NECESSARY STEPS TO FILING ON HOMESITES
The Bureau of Land Management wishes to call to,
the attention of our out-of-town readers who are inter-1
ested in taking public land for Homesites or Headquar
ters some of the important steps necessary in connec
tion with the procedure of recording their claims.
It is necessary that they state clearly in their claim I
what kind of industry will ofccupy the land and also the
ownership. The claim is limited to a tract of land not
more than five acres and unless the notice is filed no
credit shall be given for occupancy of the site prior to
filing.
Forms are available at the Land-Office here, and a
recording fee of $10.00 must accompany the notice of
claim. Application to purchase the claim must be filed
within five years after the filing of notice, along with
the required proof.
Helen Bockman, who is n charge of the Second Divi
sion office here, will be glad to answer any questions
in relation to the filing of these notices.

lesser Soviet figures: that the U.N.
has become an instrument of An
glo-American control dominated
by what the Russian premier
called the “agfressive core” of
western hemisphere and Atlantic
treaty nations.
There was some speculation
that the emphatic manner in which
Stalin pressed this contention may
indicate the Kremlin is complet
ing a propaganda basis for pulling
out of the U.N. and if and when
such action would appear to serve
Soviet designs.
One line of speculation on this
possibility is that the Russians,
having branded the U.N. as no
longer an organization for world
peace would denounce it, walk
out and present their own already
established “peace congress” as
the only truly representative in
ternational league.
The initial reaction of responsi-;
ble officials here was that while
Stalin speaks with a powerful
voice, he said nothing essentially
new in reinforcing Russia’s known
position not only on the U.N. but
on communist China, the Korean
conflict, the issue of blame for
present world tension and the
question of the inevitability of
war.
Regarding this last question,
there is agreement here with the
Russian chief’s assertion that
world conflict is not yet inevit
able. That however, is as far as
the agreement goes where Stalin
proposed in effect, that the break- j
ing point might be avoided by
the free nations falling into step
with communist policy, western
leaders are expressly convinced
the only hope for peace lies in
offsetting communist military
power with western strength and
in opposing Red expansion at all
points.

The prevailing trend and spirit j
at the remarks made during the !
meeting were directed to the all- j
important necessary shelter; to
provide this shelter in spots where
they are most needed in the
critical target areas.
A shelter program follows close
ly upon a warning system and re
hearsals are necessary after the
shelters have been built. A sur
vey for the like spots where the
shelters may be erf a permanent
value to the town are sought and
must be planned for three types
of explosions: high air burst, un
derwater shallow burst of ground
burst, and deep-water burst.
The next meeting is scheduled
for Wednesday at the same place
at eight o’clock and will be lim
ited to one hour.

Stalin Predicts
Disintegration Of

ticm is therefore taking the in
glorious road of the League of Na
tions. In this way it is burying
its moral prestige and dooming
itself to disintegration.”
Stalin charged that the U. N.
was not proportionally representa
tive of world populations and had
become “not as much a world or
ganization as an organiaztion for
the Americans, an organization
acting on behalf of the require
ments of the American aggres-.
sors.”
He said American GI’s fought
brilliantly and effectively in de
feating Germany and Japan, but
that they were losing on Korean
battlefields because they had no
faith in their cause.
Stalin used the communist news
paper iPravda as the vehicle for
his pronouncements adopting the
familiar pattern of questions and
answers in a newspaper inter
view.
The broadside from the Krem
lin was in direct teply to a recent
House of Commons statement by
British Prime Minister Attlee to
the effect that after the end of
World War II the Soviet Union
did not disarm. Stalin castigated
the statement! as “a slander against
the Soviet Union.”
Stalin charged that the Socialist
government of Britain was not in
favor of peace “but of unleashing
a new aggressive world war” in
concert with the United States.
Mr. L.' C. Ferguson, manager
for the Traeger Store at Unala

“Subsistence”
Program Will Be
Changed In Alaska
C(/P) Special* Washington Service)
WASHINGTON (AV^Represen
tatives of the International Union
of Operating Engineers (AFL) said
Saturday they have received as
surance that “everything possible
will be done” to change the pres
ent system of subsistence pay
ments for workers on Alaska pro
| jects.
The union contends Repayment
of $5.75 a day to a contractor for
each worker living in the project
camp is “discriminatory” against
Alaska workers and Territorial
contractors, most of whose work
ers are Alaska residents.
Under existing regulations, six
per cent of each contract bid goes
into the commissary fund of the
Army Engineers.
“Because no refunds are made
except for subsistence of workers
living in the construction camp,
it’s only human nature for a con
tractors to give hiring preference
to workers from outside the Ter
ritory,” asserted Russell Conlon of
Rairbanks, Union International
representative for Alaska.
Conlon, along with Jack Mc
Donald of Seattle, business man
ager for Local 302, and L. C. Ber
man of Seattle, union counsel,
have been in Washington more
than a week conferring with Dele- 4
gate Bartlett (D.-Alaska) and aides
to Brig. Gen. G. J. Nold, assistant
chief engineer for military con
struction.
The subsistence regulations also
discriminate against Territorial
contractors, the union officials
said,* because of the rebate fac
tor. It enables stateside contrac
tors, realizing they can get at least
part of the commissary deduction
back, to underbid Alaskan con
tractors whose workers prefer to
live at home, they contended. i
Berman said army engineer
spokesmen informed them that
steps would be taken to change
the present provisions.
The first commercial air service
from London to Paris was launch
ed on Nov. 10, 1919.
