m &HINGTON—Trouble is con
tinuing between Washington and
Tokyo over General MacArthur’s
faulty intelligence. Ever since Mac
Artlmr's "bring the boys home by
Christmas” statement and the fail
ure to spot 200,000 Chinese Com
munists in North Korea, Washing
ton has been skeptical about the
supreme commander's intelligence
reports.
Because of this skepticism, it
was hinted, after the tragic re
treat from North Korea, that Mac
Arthur should replace his intelli
gence chief, Msj. Gen. Charles
Willoughby. However, this has not
been done.
Meanwhile MacArthur’s public
statements in Tokyo are frequently
at complete variance with the con
fidential reports cabled back to his
intelligence chief, and Washington,
in turn, is puzzled as to which to
believe.
For instance, MacArthur estimat
ed publicly on Dec. 2 that there
were about 500,000 Chinese troops
in Korea. (This was in direct con
trast to his estimate just six days

Radio Waves
Are Received,
Sun's Corona
By HOWARD W\ BLAKESLEE
(AP Science Editor)
HAVERFORD, Pa., Dec. 30—'VP)—
A nc-w mystery on the sun, found
by radio, was described to the
American Astronomical Society to
day.
This mystery is radio waves
which are sent out, not from the
sun itself, but from the sun’s corona,
the halo of pearl white light seen
during total eclipses.
This corona extends about a mil
lion miles out beyond the edges of
the sun. It is made of gases and
particles so thinly spread that they
would be .considered a good vacuum
on earth.
The strange radio signals from
this halo were picked up and mea
sured by a U.S. Naval Research Lab
oratory crew of scientists on the
island of Attu in the Aleutians dur
! ing a total eclipse of the sun three
months ago.
The sky was cloudy that day, but
the radio ‘-eyes,” which are big
metal dishpans, received the radic
;. ignals right through the clouds
1 The scientists picked up radio sig
] na’s of four wave lengths, all from
the sun, respectively of three, eight
.10 and 65 centimeters.
The radio signals coming from r
| point in the halo close to the
: sun were quite different from those
rising high in the halo. This dif
terence was amazing to astronom
i err-, because it is exactly opposite
to what would be expected.
The radio signals indicate tem
perature, and they show that closi
to the sun the temperature is abou’
11,003 degrees, while 50,003 mile
above the sun, the halo has a tem
perature of a million degrees.
The astronomers all said this i;
i “dilemma,” which they do noi
understand, and which they hops t<
oive in future eclipses.
The Attu eclipse proved definitel;
that sunspots emit radio signal
and that the spots make more radi
‘noise” ihan the rest of the sun
surface. As the moon moved i
front of sunspots, the noises drop
ped. and resumed later when the
moon moved out of range.

FOREIGN
POLICY
DEBATED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30— W> —
Senator Sparkman (D-Alai propos
ed today a full scale Senate debate
cn foreign policy to help settle the
rising controversy over western
defense plans.
Sparkman, who served as a mem
ber of the Amjerican delegation to
the United Nations ,told reporters
be agrees with John Foster Dulles
that the United States can never
make its defenses impregnable by
abandoning Europe* and standing
alone.
But he added that the issue
ought to be discussed in the Senate
—“without name callijig”—so the
country will get a better chance to
decide between the views of Presi
dent Truman, Secretary or State
Acheson and Dulles on one side and
former President Hoover on the
other.
Hoover’s Proposal
Hoover has proposed that the
U. S. create a Gibraltar of defense
in the Western Hemisphere and not
“land another man or another
dollar” in Europe until European
nations "erect a sure dain against
the Red flood.
Dulles, on the hand, said in a
New York speech last night that
iiic free world should join in ring
ng the Soviet orbit with economic,
political and military strength.
%
Counter Attack
The GOP foreign affairs adviser
to the State Department added that
the “only effective defense for us
and for others,” should the Soviet
Union decide to open war, "is the
capacity to counterattack.”
Senator Tait iR-Ohioi, speaking
at Cincinnati, said:
"There is a great lack of confi
dence in Washington felt through
out the whole country. We are con
tinually wavering between panic
:iid reassurance. One moment we
are told that Russia will attack tc
norrow; and another, that we can
,vork the whole thing out in time.”
Taft said some of the feeling
s due “to the people in the Pen
agon.” He said he has "no confi
dence in the judgment of many ol
aur top military people,”

SUMMARY SHOWS
GREAT STRIDES IN
ARC ROAD WORK
A summary of the work accomp
lished by the Alaska Road Com
mission during the past year as
compiled by Road Commissioner
Col. John R. Noyes shows the im
mense strides made in modernizing
and extending the road system of
Alaska in 1950. The work included
hard surfacing the main highway
system, eliminating hazards to mo
torists, and building new roads to
serve new settlers, old residents and
entire communities.
Road To Haines
A goal of the future is the im
provement and hard surfacing of
the Alaska Highway through Can
ada to the border of southeast
Alaska. Haines, the southeast Alas
ka terminus of the latter road, is
separated, like Valdez from the in
terior by a formidable mountain
pass. It is hoped that the Canadian
Government will take steps to keep
this pass open in winter and that
Canada will provide funds for im
proving this road and the Alaska
Highway to the same standards as
the modernized Alaskan roads. A
new road, the Hart Highway, con
necting the Alaska Highway at
Dawson Creek with Vancouver and
Seattle is scheduled for comple
tion in 1951.
As soon as the Haines High
way to southeast Alaska has been
opened year round, it fs hoped
to install a car ferry service for
automobiles and trucks, connecting
it with the principal cities of south
eastern Alaska—Skagway, Juneau,
Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchi
kan, and possibly extended to
Prince Rupert and Puget Sound.
Blacktop Surface ■
There are now an aggregate of
320 miles ‘'blacktopped” in the in
terior. One short stretch is the
Haines Highway in southeastern
Alaska.
In addition the paving now on
the ground, all the remainder of
the Glenn Highway, the greater
part of the Richardson Highway
and the greater part of the Alaska
Highway Within Alaska have al
ready been placed under contract
for hard surfacing and this work
will be completed during the sum
mers of 1951 and 1952.
New Roadways
Local gravel roads around Fair
banks, Anchorage, Palmer, Kenai,
Homer and Haines, totalling over
200 miles, have been built to serve
settlers.
An important new road to con
nect Anchorage with the south
coast port of Seward is under con
struction and is expected to be
completed at the end of the work
ing season of 1951.
The new Sterling Highway, ex
tending 140 miles on the Kenai
Peninsula from the Beward-An
chorage Highway, was completed in
September, 1950.
Another new road was commenc
ed in 1950 to connect the Rich
ardson Highway wilh Mt. Mc
Kinley National Park. This road,
about 1G0 miles long, will connect
with the road system already con
structed within the Park, about
95 miles long, extending beyond
its western bounds’? to Kantishna.
Completion of the new road into
the Park is tentatively scheduled
for 1953.
Extend System
A new road extending from the
Alaska Highway toward Eagle v/as
connected in the fall of 1950 with
a Canadian road extending to the .
city of Dawson. Next season it is j
hoped to complete this Forty Mile
Highway to Eagle, bringing this
well known mining camp into the !
roadways’ system.
An important new operation of
the Alaska Road Commission Is the
maintenance of Thompson Pass
on the Richardson Highway open
throughout the year.
Proposed roads for which no1
funds have yet been appropriated
include a road from Cordova to
connect with the Richardson High- |
way a road from Fairbanks to Ne-1
nana, a road from Livengood to
Eureka and Manley Hot Springs, a
road from the Richardson Highway
by way of Chitlna to the mineraliz
ed areas near McCarthy and Ken-,
nicott, and roads near Nome and
DEATH TOLL
ON HOLIDAY
RATED HIGH
(By the Associated Press)
The nation’s 1950 traffic death
toll will climb to an estimated
35.000. the highest since 1941 and
the sixth worst in the history cl
motor vehicle travel.
The National Safety Council’s
estimate of this year's traffic death
includes the scores it predicted will
be killed during the last two day.
of the year. It predicted 330 per
sons will lose their lives in motor
accidents over a 78-hour period,
from 6 p.m. yesterday to midnight
Monday.
The 31,230 killed in the first 11
months this year was only 270 less
than the traffic fatalities in 1949
and compared to the 32,299 kiilec.
in 1948.
The Council said that only five
times has the traffic toll in one
year exceeded 35,003. The record
high was 39,969 in 1941. Other year,
in which 35,000 or more persons
were killed in trafflc/ mishaps were
1934. 1935, 1936 and 1937.
In last weekend’s Christmas holi
day, 545 persons were killed on the
highways—one of the highest total
on record for an extended holiday
USE OF COPPER IN
OVER 390 PRODUCTS
IS STOPPED MARCH 1
WASHINGTON, Doc. 3U — (,fl -
The government today prohibited
non-essentitfl use of copper in more
than 300 civilian products, effective
March 1.
The banned uses range from pot
and pans, building hardware, fur
niture and electrical appliances to
jewelry, toys, cocktail shakers and
paper clips.
The order was issued by the Na
tional Production Authority to con
serve copper for “defense and de
fense-supporting needs.” said Wil
liam II. Harrison, the NPA Ad
ministrator.
Throughout the list—except in
the case of such items as toys and
other non-essentials—copper will be
permitted where it serves a func
tional purpose, as in working parts,
and where no practical substitute
is available.
But the NPA action completely
eliminates copper from 'bright
work” and trim on automobiles, a
well as in auto wheel disks, de
frosters and heaters, gas tank cap.
mirrors and brackets.
WHO HAS ALTO TAG 1951?
There has been some curioity
around town as to who i., sportin ',
auto license tag 1951 for the com
ing year 1951. It belongs to Pele
Christenson, former city council
man.
TO SITKA
Gus Hansen, long time Alaskan
from Anchorage, spent the night
here at the Hotel Juneau, enroute
to the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka.
other outlying areas. These pro
posed roads are subject to Con
gressional approval and appropri
ation of funds before work on them
can be commenced.
Work Cooperative
By far the greatest part of the
work of the Alaska Road Commis
sion, and practically all of the
modernization program, is now per
formed by contract. In some cases
services of the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads have been utilized in the
engineering and administration of
the contracts, so that Alaska’s two
great road building organizations
work hand in hand through the
medium of cooperative agreements
so as to produce the best results.
Present indications are that the
road program will be continued in
1951 on approximately the same
scales as it was advanced in 1950.
This, and prospects for succeeding
years, depends upon appropriations
of funds by Congress and by the
Territory of Alaska.
PRAYER, REVELRY
TO MARK COMING
OF NEW YEAR '51
(By the'Associated Press)
Americans, in their various ways,
will bid farewell tomorrow to an
old year and an old half century,
and observe the start of a new cycle
of time. Some will do it with revelry,
and some with prayer.
Across the nation, the recreation
spots and the places of worship pre
pared to mark the advent of 1951
and of the second half of the 20th
Century.
To,many, It will be a moment to
forget accumulated cares of the
past and celebrate the fresh bee,in
ning. To many others, it will be a
time of soul-searching for .t. idf.net
in the future.
With the world, and Ameiu . be
set by deep anxieties, hundred; of
churche;, under the leader .hip ol
the National Council of Churche
of Christ in the US A., have set a
day of prayer.
Some will hold night-long service,
into the new year.
New Year’s Day is a Roman Cath
olic holy day, so Catholics wall at
tend Mass both Sunday and Mon
day.
For sports enthusiasts, it is a day
spiced with varied fare. The fea
ture is the windup of the football
season, with half a dozen bowl
games across the nation.
In the night clubs and show
places, there wUl be funny hats
