Ask U. S. to Admit
More DP’s
WASHINGTON, (/P)—1The dis
placed persons commission yester
day urged Congress to admit 400.
000 war refugees to the United
States in the next four years—al
most double the present program.
The agency also recommended
a series of other changes in line
with President Truman’s criticism
of the law he signed “with great
reluctance” last June. It provided
entry far 205.000 persons in two
years, and set up the commission
to supervise.
The three-man commission said
in its first semi-annual report that
its vast resettlement effort has
lagged, and it said the law was
partly to blame.
From July 1 to the end of 1948,
2,507 displaced persons reached
the United States, commission
chairman Ugo Carusi told report
ers. The total rose to 3,513 in Jan-,
uary, and he predicted the same
number will come in during Feb
ruary.

1 Ask Survey Of Rail
Connection States
To Alaska
Special Washington Service*
W A S H I NGTON, (A*) — Rep.
Jackson <D.-Wash.* member of
j the House sub-committee on inte
; rior deparmtent appropriations,
has asked the department to start
immediate planning for a survey
[ to determine the cost of a railroad
I connection to Alaska.
Jackson and Senator Magnuson
I (D.-Wash.) has introduced bills
directing President Truman to au
thorize a study of the route of the
proposed railroad from Prince
George, B. C., to Alaska.
Jackson said he planned to ask
that funds for the survey and
planning of the railroad be in
cluded in the interior department
appropriation bill for the fiscal
year beginning July 1.
“The need of a railroad connec
tion with the Territory is so ur
gent,” Jackson told a importer,
“that I want the interior depart
ment and the national defense es
tablishment to have everything
ready for the survey when it is
authorized by Congress.”
Jackson said the survey is ne
cessary to decide the most feasi
ble route to connect the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska and to de
termine the cost.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Evans and
two children arrived from Hous
ton, Texas, en route to White
Mountain, where Mrs. Evans will
be nurse and Mr. Evans will be on
the teaching staff of the ANS
school. The stated that they were
snowbound in New Mexico en
route to the Far North.
Von Papen Freed
By German Court
NUERNBERG, Germany, </P) —
Franz von Papen, the old fox of
diplomacy in Hitler’s Reich, has
been set free by a German denazi
fication court.
The court reversed his previous
conviction as a major nazi offend
er, the worst type of nazi, under
which he was serving an eight
year sentence in a labor camp. It
convicted him of being only an of
fender. the second category of
nazism.
Von Papen, Hitler’s former am
bassador to Austria and Turkey,
has been imprisoned since the end
'of the war. The c>ur‘, in ordering
I his immediate release, held this
was enough punishment.
The court also reduced his fine
to 30,000 Deutsche marks ($9,000).
In the first trial in April, 1947, his
entire fortune except 5,000 marks
was confiscated.
The court’s ruling barred the in
ternationally known diplomat
from ever holding office, the right
to vote, the right to join a politi
cal party and from jobs influenc
ing public opinion such as writing
and speaking.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gillette, who
have been in Fairbanks for some
time where Ben has been under
the doctor’s care for injuries sus
tained to his leg in a mine acci
dent two years ago, were wel
comed home by their friends yes
terday. Mr. Gillette is much im
proved and expects to be visiting
his many friends soon, as spry ns
before the accident.
