Alaskan 1951 Con
struction Program
Faces Stalemate
ANCHORAGE, {JP)—Contractors
start 1951 wage parleys with labor
unions next week. No matter the
outcome, the contractors feel they
can’t win.
A contractor today outlined the
dilemma.
If wage increases are not grant
ed, prospects are that few con
struction workers will come to
Alaska this spring and summer.
If wage increases are given out,
many contractors who hold $70,
000,000 worth of work under the
old wage scale will be unaible to
meet increased costs.
There is some discussion of
seeking renegotiation of govern
ment contracts in the hope of
boosting them to cover an increas
ed labor cost.
The Associated General Contrac
tors will meet with seven labor
unions next week. In the first
meeting, they’ll talk things over
with teamsters, laborers, operating
engineers, cement finishers, iron
workers and roofers. The carpen
ters want to talk things over sep
arately. One of the main topics on
the agenda will be wages, although
other working conditions will be
discussed.
A meeting Monday likely will
conflict with—or defer to—a meet
ing with ex-Sen. Frank P. Graham
of North Carolina and military
and other governmental agencies.
The Graham meeting will try to
obtain a no-strike pledge in case
negotiations for working agree
ments fail to result in contracts, a
spokesman said. Graham will
serve “in the nature of a consult
ant to the interior department,” it

“Present Military
Defense Plans Are
Sufficient”
WASHINGTON, {/P) — Gen.
Omar Bradley told Congress today
the military forces the United
States is planning “are sufficient
in my opinion to avert disaster
for our country.”
Testifying before the Senate
preparedness sub-committee, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff said bomibing of American
cities might be possible but “there
is little real danger now of the
Continental United States being
invaded and overrun so far a^ we
can see.”
Bradley said U. S. air defenses,
“combined with the efforts of the
Canadians,” could avert “com
plete disaster” but “if a deter
mined enemy is willing to expend
the effort, some bombers will get
through.”
Bradley was before the commit
tee to endorse the defense depart
ment’s proposals for drafting of
18-year-olds and extending the pe
riod of draft service from 21 to 27
months.
He gave the committee in addi
tion a briefing on how the serv
ices plan to meet any attac_.
“The initial retaliation against
an enemy iby strategic bombing
will be provided if the air power
and the necessary army and navy
support to seize and hold the bases
from which to operate are in our
hands the moment an emergency
arises/* he said.
“The closer the bases are to the
enemy the easier it will be, and
the less costly it will be, to pro
vide a sustained retaliation air at
tack.
“Our strategy does not include a
retraction of all of our military
power to the Continental limits of
the North American Continent
when we are attacked.**
“Stalin Same As
Hitler, Mussolini"
%
WASHINGTON, (iP)—President
Truman Friday night declared
| “There isn’t any difference” be
I tween Soviet Premier Joseph Sta
lin and Hitler, Mussolini, and
other notorious despots of history.
“They are all just alike.. . .They
believed in the enslavement of the
common people,” Mr. Truman told
a ‘business mobilization dinner*
of the Society of Business Maga
zine editors.
But, he added, “We are going to
' win.” -
The President has often scored
i Soviet Russia as the fountain of
j communist imperialism, but his
! prepared comment Friday night
was one of the rare occasions
when the had criticized Premier
Stalin by name.
His denunciation of Stalin as a
dictator recalled that in 1948 Mr.
Truman referred to the Soviet
leader as “Old Joe” and called
him a prisoner of the politburo,
Russia’s top political council.
The infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Andy Miller, who died last
week of whooping cough, was bur
ied from the Covenant Church
Sunday afternoon with Rev. Paul
Carlson in charge of the service.
