Auditor Refuses
Honor Alaska
“Navy” Vouchers
JUNEAU, </P) — Alaska’s terri
torial “Navy” has hit a reef in the
%
auditor’s office.
The “navy” is a ferry, operated
under the highway department.
It was a former navy LSM.
Auditor Neil Moore has refused
to honor two vouchers—$2,800 for
insurance and $600 in fines levied
by the Coast Guard because
freight was hauled on the craft
when its papers were disallowed.
Insurance is on a $40,000 valu
ation; also for $100,000 liability.
The policy was issued May 7
to run to May 7, 1952.
“We didn’t buy the ferry until
June 19,” Moore said.
The ferry, the M.V. Chilkoot,
was bought when the private
owners couldn’t make it p^y. It
runs between Juneau and Haines,
with stops at Skagway.
Moore says he has disallowed
the vouchers because the owners
at the time were Steve Homer, of
Haines, Robert Sommers, of Ju
neau, and associates.
The Chilkoot -arrived here from
a Seattle overhaul. The Coast
Guard reported it found freight
aboard. That started the tangled
case.
Over-Optimistic Russia
May Launch Surprise
Atomic Attack on U. S.
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Hill <D-Ala> has warned the Sen
ate there is “great danger” Rus
sia might become over-optimistic
and launch a surprise atomic at
tack on America.
This warning was pointed up
by Senate information that Rus
sia has out-stripped the U. S. in
pilots and planes and has a 20,000
plane air force and a 4,000,000
man ground force.
These estimates of Soviet
strength were contained in a staff
i memo covering highlights of re
cent conferences in Paris between
a nine-member Senate Foreign
Relations subcommittee and Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and mem
bers of his staff.

President Truman
Blasts “Hate-Mongers”
WASHINGTON, ^—President
Truman’s blast at “hate-mongers”
brought a challenge from Senator
* McCarthy (R-Wis) Wednesday for
a 1952 political showdown on
h i s communists - in - government
charges.
Mr. Truman dedicated the new
Washington headquarters of the
American Legion with a punch
packed attack on those he said
“are trying to create fear and
suspicion among us by the use of
slander, unproved accusations and
just plain lies.”
McCarthy, accepting the desig
nation, flung a challenge back at
the President. He said:
“If Truman wants to make the
fight against communism—which
he calls.McCarthyism—an issue in
the campaign, I will welcome it.”
In his speech, Mr. Truman as
sailed people he said claim to be
against communism but are “chip
ping away at our basic freedoms
just as insidiously and far more
effectively than the communists
have ever been able to do.”
The lighting was dim, the music
soft in this smart mid-town cock
tail lounge. The pretty young i
thing at the bar had downed four
martinis. The gentleman next to
her, hoping to strike up nn ac
quaintance, inquired, “Would five
make you dizzy?”
Brightly she replied, “The price
is right, but the name’s Daisy.”

U. S. and Philippines In
Mutual Defense Treaty
WASHINGTON, {&) — The
United States and the Philippines
announced agreement on a- mu
tual defense treaty pledging each
nation to “act to meet the com
mon dangers” in event of an
armed attack on the other.
The announcement, made sim
ultaneously here and at Manila,
said that the defense agreement
will embody commitments which
already exist between the United
States and the Philippines. These
result from agreements on Ameri

and American aid in building up
Philippine armed forces.
The American-Philippine treaty
is one of four now projected for
signing next month in connection

nese peace.
