terials, despite capacity operation
since April.
Safety from further communist
aggression depends, Mr. Truman
said, on “production and mor$
Reduction,” and safety from in
flation depends on business and
consumers alike refraining from
“hoarding and avarice.”
The message asked no emer
gency powers beyond those re
quested a week ago—to control
credit, allocate scarce materials,
limit civilian output, requisition
Snds, curb commodity specula
n, and help finance industry’s
expansion for war.

farm products, rubber and some

Navy Taking Fleet
Out of “Mothballs”
WASHINGTON, (A5)—The navy
is putting a total of 48 more war- i
ships at sea, including three large |
and six light aircraft carriers, two
cruisers, 32 destroyers and 5 sub
marines. This was announced to
day by chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.)
of the House armed services com
mittee.
The announcement, which ,in-1
eluded other increases for the
navy and marines, was made after;
a closed-door meeting of the arm
ed services committee.
This committee is probing how
well prepared each service is and
what their plans are, not only in
the Korean war but to stem possi
ble communist aggression else
where. j

Mr. Schwamm stated that if
there were other places in the Di
vision where airstrips were felt
needed he would be glad to con
fer with anyone who desired to
see him here in the next two
weeks.
A big field is planned for White
Mountain so that a DC-3 may
land.
Mr. Schwamm reports that in
the one year that his organization
has been in operation a major j
field has been completed at Ninil
chik on Cook Inlet. At Dillingham
the field is about 90% finished.
At Skagway the airfield is over
half finished as well as at Sel-;
dovia. The Fort Yukon field is
behind schedule due to the forest
fire, as the equipment for the con
struction of the field was put to
work to make the fire breaks
which ' saved the town. Mr. |
Schwamm estimated that the i
work was about 35% finished.

ruled that everything was in or

unfounded.
Kotzebue is also to have a large

let to Lytell and Green.

sary on the larger fields the Ter
ritory pays 25% and the Federal
Government 75%.
