But Democratic committee offi

Johnston can get a coveted Sen

if Senator Chavez (D.-N. M.), who
outranks him in service, decides
not to become head of the postof
Cice and civil service group.
Chavez also is senior Democrat
on the public works committee

traps.”
Wallgren, who left Seattle last
week-end for a meeting with Pies
ident Truman, denied circulated
reports that he had been offered
the post of secretary of the in
terior.
“There has been no talk of it by
me or others in responsible posi
tions.” He said “As far as I know
there is no vacancy in the posi
tion.”
Julius A. Krug is the present
secretary of interior.
Wiese, referring to what he
called the “Washington Gang,”
declared:
“They have been very clever in
their work and generally cover up
pretty well. They are the ones who
always say ‘yes, statehood for
Alaska eventually when the Ter
ritory is ready for it’.”
“Alaska fishermen,” he said,
“especially remember Wallgren.
He is the man who as Senator
tried to get a bill through Con
gress that would lease fish traps
to cannery owners.”
Alaska recently voted in favor
of abolishing fish traps gradually
over a 10-year period. The vote
was in the form of a recommenda
tion to Congress, which has the
responsibility for any action on
the proposal.

Seek Ersatz Fuel
Plant For Alaska
SEATTLE (/P)—One of the three
I synthetic fuel plants authorized
by Congress will be sought for
Alaska, the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce announced today.
Chamber trustees voted yester
day to present an urgent request
to the departments of interior and
defense, which will determine lo
cation of the proposed plants.
Alaska is a natural location for
one of the plants, John M. Perry,
chairman of the chamber’s Alaska
I committee, said, both because of
the existence of large deposits of
low grade coal and because of yie
strategic importance of the Terri
tory.
There are 400,000 retail food
stores in the country.
