On Truce Line
(Continued from Page One)
to approval of minutes of a pre
ceding session. < -•
Setting a buffer zone raises the
question of whether it is to be along
the present battle lines in North
Korea, as the U. N. wishes, or along
the 38th Parallel as the Reds want.
These two possible demarcation
lines are 20 or 30 miles apart Ilf
some places.
In settling this single point, ne
gotiators will outline the exact pos
ition to be assumed by each army
“so as to establish a demilitarized
zone as the basic condition for ces
sation of hostilities in Korea.”
Crucial Point
The third point is the most com
plex and reaches to the heart of
Communist sensitiveness to any
foreign groups acting as supervis
ing agents in territory they control.
Officially point three was listed as: ;
"Concrete arrangements for the I
realization of cease-fire and armist
ice in Korea. Including the comp- j
osition, authority and functions of
a supervising organization for car
rying out the terms of a cease-fire
and armistice.” i
The United Nations wants ade
quate supervision and actual in- !
spection by some international com- ;
mission on each side of the cease
fire zone.
Allied spokesmen have Identified
this as an absolute must to guar
antee against possible preparations
for a surprise attack or a buildup
for new advantages if subsequent
truce negotiations break down.
The allies have indicated they
want both air and ground super
vision.
Communists have always objected
to any type of ground supervision.
And in Korea there have been.spec
ific intimations of protests against
supervision in the air, which was
ruled by the U. N. through all the :
fighting.
Prisoner Problem K.
Point Four—Exchange of Prts- j
oners—Also could offer unexpected j
obstacles.
The Allies have indicated they i
want to exchange prisoners on a j
man for man basis. The Reds have ,
intimated they think all prisoners |
of war should be sent home.
The U. N. has some 163.0<»b pris
oners compared to about 10.000 al
lied prisoners held by the Reds.
The fifth point presumably is the
Communist-suggested answer to the
stumbling block in the first ten
cease-fire sessions.
That was the Red demand that
armistice terms include withdrawal
of all foreign troops from Korea.
The U. N. insisted this was a
political question that could be tak
en up only at a higher level after
an armistice was actually in effect.'
North Korean Gen. Nam. II.
chief Red delegate, presumably pre
sented the Red solution yesterday.
And it was accepted by the allies
today.
Informed sources indicated the
Communists dropped their .Remand
for immediate settlement of .the is
sue In return for a U. N.. pledge
that it would be taken up later.
Precise wording of this recom
mendation would, presumably, be
worked out at Kaesong.
Agreement on the five-point
agenda was reached in nine,minut
es of Thursday’s tense session at
Kaesong.
Immediately after they agreed on
it, the two delegations began act
ually working on it "in order that
the potential for halting bloodshed
in Korea may be realized as soon
as possible.”

Forester Hopes
Newsprint Mill
Will Locate Here
•
“Congress is calling a commit
tee hearing for mid-September to
see what can be done regarding
a newsprint plant in Alaska.
Frank Heintzleman, regional for
ester of the U. S. Forest Service
told the Juneau Chamber of Com
merce this noon. The meeting was
at the Baranof Hotel.
"Juneau is well suited for a
large newsprint plant," he poin
ted out. "There is power avallaole
from Lake Dorothy south of here,
and sufficient timber on Admir
alty Island to supply a daily out
put of from 800 to 1,000 tons.
"This lias been brought to the
attention of publishers in the
United States and they are inter
ested,” he said. "At present wt
are dependent on Canada for 80
per cent of our newsprint and
consumption is increased at the
1 rate of 100,000 tons a year."
Three Projects Okayed
Heintzieman said mai tnree out
of four large lumber and pulp
projects for Southeast Alaska had
already received National Produc
tion Authority certificates of ne
cessity to go ahead.
This morning he received a tele
gram authorizing construction of
a plywood plant here by Colum
bia Lumber Co. This will cost ap
proximately $800,000, will employ
about 120 men at the mill and the
same number in the woods.
"This is a fine industry to have
and is of great importance to Al
aska,” he said.
YesterdiM1 the $40,000,000 pulp
mill for Ketchikan was approved
and the company has until Aug
ust 2 to show that the project
can be financed. “This will not
be a Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration loan, but is being hand
led by two large New York banks,”
the forester said.
Optimistic for Plant
"The third project of increas
ing the capacity of the Sitka
sawmill was approved two weeks
ago,” Heintzleman said, “That
leaves the fourth one, the enlarg
ment of the Juneau sawmill, yet
to get the green light and I am
very optimistic on the outcome.”
He pointed out that since the
Ketchikan pulp mill had been ap
imiMtMMNiminmNmiMiMiMiMHmtHmMiiiimiiiiMMmiMHuiMiitiiniiitniiHiitiHmmimMMi
I nroved it should be easier for the
1 Sitka pulp plant to get approval.
There has been $200,000 worth of
engineering done on that site al
, ready, he said.
The policy of not permitting
Ylaska logs for export is a hot
issue now and it will get hotter
according to Heintzleman.
He then went into some detail
I regarding forest roads in South
east Alaska and explained that it
would be a mistake to attempt to
divert any pending appropriations
] tor other projects.
Extensions and improvements
of existing highways around Ket
chikan, Sitka and Juneau werl
carefully considered for anticipa
tion oi coming pulp mills and to
open up additional homesites for
.an increased population.
"The extension of the road
jnorthward on Douglas Island will
j make more homesite land avail
i able. There is muskeg there, to
be sure, but Petersburg is built
on muskeg and so are parts of
many other Alaska towns,” he
'-aid.
Roads Costly
"Roads are costly in Southeast
Alaska because of the heavy tim
ber, much rain and rock. They
are expensive to maintain. The
roads around Juneau have been
rebuilt three times," he pointed
out.
Ileintzleman touched on the
proposed Taku Highway and said
it would take some “real doing”
to get the Canadians to build their
<10 miles in British Columbia to
give a eonnection with the Alaska
Highway.
The Canadians are reluctant to
commit themselves and now are
trying to finish the Hart High
way out of Prince George, he said.
“This doesn’t mean that we should
not keep on trying to push the Ta
ku project and I will cooperate,”
he declared.
Robert Cowling, chairman of
the ouat harbor committee, re
ported on the Tuesday meeting
with Brig. Gen. O. E. Walsh of
the U. S. Engineers office from
Portland. He said that there was
no likelihood of getting a small
boat harbor for Douglas or an en
largement of the Juneau facility
lor at least two years. During that
time less expensive projects would
be brought up at the Board of
Engineers meeting in Washington
in September, Cowling reported.
