Coastal Monarch,
Bound For Nome,
Catches Fire At Sep
SEATTLE, {/P) — Two lower
holds of the Alaska Steamship
company’s freighter Coastal Mon
arch, sailing in Alaska waters
were flooded Monday night as
crew members fought a stubborn
fire which broke out in the No. 2
hold.
Coast Guard headquarters said
a message from the cutter Swe^Jr
briar reported the fire was under
control. The freighter was out of
danger, the cutter reported.
Fire broke out from an un
known cause while the ship was
off an island of . the Shumagin
group approximately 260 miles
southwest of Kodiak.
The 17 th coast guard district fit
Juneau said attempts to curb the
blaze by battening the hatches
were unsuccessful.
Capt. M. Parfks is master of the
freighter.

vote next week on giving the
armed forces the $10,486,976,000
in additional money asked for
them by President1 Truman. >
Vinson said the United States
is “seriously short” at present in
“standing military strength” and
he questioned whether the expan
sion program the administration
has begun will be enough.
He said he is not satisfied with
the plans for increasing' the size
of the navy and the air force “for
I believe there is too much con
servatism in the program.”
Vinson said Russia outnumbers
the United States 7 to 1 in tanks,
more than 17 to 2 in military man
power and has almost 300 subma
rines and “a vast air force.”
On the U. S. sides of the mili
tary ledger, he said there are
these assets:
“Governmen tally, we are far
stronger than our potential ene
mies ... In any long term effort
. . . our system can outlast and
surpass the dictated, regimented
system of the communists. Our in
dustrial potential ... is the envy
of the world.
“Our seapower is vastly greaterJ
than that of Russia and her satel
lites. Our strategic air power is
unmatched anywhere in the world.
We are still far ahead in the atom
ic arms effort and will probably
stay ahead for some years in the
future.”
