CONSIDERED IN
JAP TREATIES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. — UP) — j
Rep. Mitchell (D, Wash.) has re
ceived assurance that Pacific North
west fisheries’ matters will be given
consideration in any Japanese peace
treaty.
Mitchell recently wrote Secretary
of State Acheson requesting that a ^
fisheries expert be included on the |
staff of John Foster Dulles, now |
in Tokyo discussing preliminary i
phases of the treaty drafting.
The assurance was in a letter.
from Jack K. McFall, Assistant |
Secretary of State, which Mitchell j
made public. McFall said:
‘•Mr. Dulles is aware of prob'ems
relative to fisheries relations be- |
tween this country and Japan. Al- ■
though the discussions at this time j
with the Japanese are in a purely |
preliminary stage, you may be as- !
sured that the views of the repre- j
sentatives of the fisheries industry,
are being borne in mind and that j
upon the return of Mr. Dulles the
industry will be informed of de
velopments.”

T^ASHINGTON—The benches in
Washington's U. S. District Court
are hard and cushionless. Their
backs are straight and dig into your
spine. After a week your bones ache
—a week of sitting in court listen
ing to testimony, argument, rebut
tal, testimony that you are a “cut
tlefish exuding inky filth over ev
eryone.”. . .The jury goes out. You
wait, wondering. A juror opens the
door. No, he only wants a pack
of cigarettes. . .At the swank dinner
parties in northwest Washington
they take odds for and against i
Pearson. “This will fold him up,"
gloats one dowager, “he'll have to
sell his house, his car, and every
thing else to pay Fred Howser that
$350,000.”. . .“Yeah, he’ll have to go
back to milking cows.”. . .“Pearson’s
never lost a libel suit, but this
time he’s cooked.”. . .So ran the |
dinner-table conversation during |
the libel suit of Pearson vs. the
former Attorney General of Cal
ifornia.
Libel suits are part of the haz
ards of the newspaper and radio
business. No newspaper or news
paperman likes them, but no news- ;
paper or newspaperman with any
courage can avoid them, if you are
going to expose inefficiency or
irregularity in public office you
have to stand the risk of abuse
and libel suits. And there is only
one way to handle a libel suit
when you know you are right—bat

system of a judge and jury.

1ST DIVISION
LOSES SEATS
NEXT SESSION
Will Have Only Six Repre
sentatives Next Five
Legislatures
By BOB BE ARMOND
The First Division will have only
six Representatives in the next five
Territorial Legislatures — if there
are five more Territorial Legisla
tures — instead of the present eight.
This was certified by the Director
of the Census in a telegram address
ed to the House of Representatives
and read this morning.
The Second Division will also
lose one Representative and both
seats will go to the Third Division,
which will then hold 10. The Fourth
Division retains five seats as at
present.
Civilian population of Alaska by
divisions, upon which representa
tion is based, was certified as 27,
543 in the First Division, 11.820 in
the Second, 45,647 in the Third and
23,226 in the Fourth.
Although the total population in
the First and Fourth Divisions tal
lied almost the same — 28,203 for
the former and 28,650 for the lat
ter — the First holds an edge of
slightly more than 4,000 in civilian ;
population.
Three Against One
In a test of strength this morn
ing, the First, Second and Fourth
Divisions lined up almost solidly
against the Third on the issue of
removal of administrative offices
to that area.
The vote came on a motfon by
Rep. Franklin to table H.B. 8 which
provides for moving the office of
the Commissioner of Agriculture
from Fairbanks to Palmer.
The vote was 16-8 and only Rep.
George Gasser of Fairbanks, joined
the seven Third Division Repre
sentatives against the motion.
Rep. Gasser, who formerly served
as Commissioner of Agriculture, ex
plained to a reporter after the ses
sion that he is opposed to the bill
but said that he desired to have it
kilied rather than tabled.
Rep. Franklin's motion to table
followed a report of the Committee
on Agriculture which carried a “Do
Not Pass” recommendation by Reps.
Gasser, Degnan and MacKinnon,
Chairman Pollard dissenting.
Fa. Pill In
Introduced in the House this
morning was House Joint Resolu
tion No. 1 which appropriates a

It isn’t to be “different” that;
Captains Harold E. Gray and Gor- j'
don Maxwell, pictures above, of the ■
San Francisco Pan American of- j
lice, are making a winter Alaskan
trip.
They arrived in Juneau yesterday
from Annette and are enroute to
Fairbanks and Nome to take a look
see at winter operational problems,
in addition to talking with PAA
employees. This is Captain Gray’s
fourth Alaska trip—and the first
winter one. He is a vice president
of PAA, and has been with the .
company the past 22 years.
Both are enthusiastic about Al
aska scenery. “The most beautiful
country in the world—on a clear
day," Gray declared.
“The past year has been the best j
in the history‘of Pan American’s!
Alaska division 19 years,” Gray.
stated. He also reported more travel
between Alaska and Honolulu this j
winter than ever before.
The two captains hope to be able
to return to Alaska to do some fish, j
ing next summer.
ESTIMATE
4-FS LOWER;
NOW 80,000
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. —tW —
The Defense Department today cut
in half an earlier estimate that
150,000 4-F’s now deferred from
the draft could be put into service.
The new estimate was given to
the House Armed Services Com
mittee by Assistant Defense Secre
tary Anna Rosenberg. She said it I
reflects the view of Maj. Gen. Lewis j
Hershey, Selective Service Director. I
Mrs. Rosenberg had told the com
mittee yesterday that 150,000 men
now deferred for physical or mental |
reasons could be inducted if they
were screened again and qualifica- i
tions lowered.
She said today Hershey now esti- j,
mates that “by slightly lowering”:
the mental standards and strictly
enforcing existing physical stand
ards, between 75,000 and 80,000 of
the present 800,000 4-F’s could be!
put into full active service.
Committee members had brought
up the question of using 4-F’s in :
considering a Defense Department
proposal to draft 18-year-old youths j
and to start a system of universal1
military training.
Chairman Vinson (D, Ga.) also |
said the committee will explore the i
possibility of calling up men be
tween the ages of 19 and 26 who ;
have married since the Korean war
started June 27. Husbands are now ';
deferred. j:

EUROPE ARMY
PARIS, Jan. 27.——France has
made an historic move to muster ■
the soldiers of Europe, who have
spilled each other’s blood for cen
turies, into one army, under one
commander, arrayed against one
pnemy—Communism.
Her dramatic proposal went out
today in the form of invitations
to 10 governments to meet here
,o talk it over February 6. It is the
latest effort in Europe to end the
petty rivalries and centuries-old dis
trusts which have kept the Western
world from getting ready to fend
off a possible attack from the
Sast.
The first invitation — and the
first reported acceptance—was that
to the Federal Republic of West
Germany. Germans, historic ene
mies of France, who have invaded
this nation three times in three
generations, are quoted as being
inxious to heal the wounds they
lave caused to the French and
x) put on the same boots, helmets
md insignia a s their European
leighbors. A West German govern
ment source in Bonn said the Ger
mans were certain to accept the
nvitation. ,
Others invited to the 10-nation
;onfab were Britain, Norway, Ice
and, Denmark, Belgium. Luxem
jourg, Holland, Italy and Portugal.
Canada and the United States
lave been asked to send observers.

MEMORIAL ASKS
INCOME TAX CUT
FOR ALASKANS
A 20-percent Federal Income Tax
reduction for Alaskans is requested
In a House Memorial introduced by
Rep. Jack D. Conright of Anchor
age.
The memorial, H.M. 3, Is address
ed to the President, Congress, the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Delegate from Alaska.
It pointed out that:
It is a generally recognized fact
that the cost of living in Alaska
is much higher than in the States;
The U. S. Government allows a
25 percent differential in salaries
to its employees stationed in Al
aska;
It would be only fair and equit
able that Alaskans be granted a 20
percent reduction in the amount of
Income taxes payable to the United
states Government under the pro
visions of the Internal Revenue
Code.
AEC'S FIRST
EXPLOSION
OCCURS NEV.
CARSON CITY, Nev.. Jan. 27.—
IP—The first explosion has occurred
it the Atomic Energy Commission’s
new testing grounds in Nevada,
r.lov. Charles Russell has disclosed.
It was a "dry run" conducted on
he night of Wednesday, January
24.
“A detonation did occur in con
nection with the test,” the AEC
;aid in a statement which it re
fused to amplify.
The information made available
oday came from Governor Russell
n answer to direct questions from!
lewsmen.
The commission would not say j
whether the explosion was atomic [
n nature.
Governor Russell told newsmen
le had been asked by the AEC not
:o release any information regard
ng the explosion unless he was
questioned specifically about it.
BOMBING MIGHT
START WAR BUT
NOT WIN KOREA
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.—<*>—
Bombing Manchuria might precipi
tate World War III but probably
vould not defeat the Chinese Reds
n Korea, Associated Press Column
ist Hal Boyle said.
Returning to the United States
after six months of front-line re
porting, Boyle explained that the
Chinese invaders relied almost ex
ilusively on manpower, and that air
ittack had proved insufficient
igainst men in the wild, broken
errain of Korea.
Even artillery cannot mow down
,he enemy as effectively as in more
>pen country, he added.
Bases mean less to the Chinese
,han to an occidental army, and
Tien with rifles—or with backpacks
>f supplies—hide successfully under
ivery bush and in every ravine,
3oyle said.
The current fading back qf the
Chinese armies in South Korea may
'ery possibly be explained on poli
,ical grounds, Boyle commented.

PORT OF
SEOUL IS
RAIDED
Troops Drive Through
Ankle-Deep Snow in East
Sector-Beat Red Patrols
TOKYO, Jan. 27—Ifl—Gun-toting
South Korean sailors drove ashore
at Inchon In the cold grey dawn
today and raided the port of Seoul
[or four hours.
To the east, Allied tanks and
troops drove through ankle deep
snow within less than 13 air line
miles of the old South Korean cap
ital.
The tank column leading off two
allied corps of American, Turkish,
and South Korean foot soldiers
thrust four and one-half miles
north of Suwon, site of Korea's best
airfield.
At its northernmost point of ad
vance, the column was only 14 road
miles—less by air—from Seoul.
The South Korean commandos
killed 40 Red Koreans at Inchon
and captured two. They met no
Chinese.
Swarm Ashore
The raiders swarmed ashore un
der the guns of the American
cruiser St. Paul, the Canadian des
troyer Cayuga and the U. S. des
troyer Hank.
The swift-striking raiders suf
fered no casualties.
The northward thrust along the
main road to Seoul, “heartbreak
highway,” began Thursday morn
ing. Two U. S. Eighth Army corps
—the First and Ninth—Jumped off
in a limited offensive and recap
ture^ Suwon and Kumyangjang.
Moderate Resistance
An Ax' field dispatch said the
column was meeting only moderate
resistance. Allied troops forged
ahead along a 40 mile front.
“We have hit fairly good enemy
positions but apparently have not
yet run into their main line of re
sistance," a divisional officer said.
Pre-dawn Fight
United Nations troops fought in
the pre-dawn darkness Saturday
with Red patrols that had sneaked!
back into Suwon. Guns flashed in
the night but the town was report
ed cleared of Reds by daylight.
Allied warplanes and artillery
pounded small pockets of Reds in
dug-in hill positions.
The Allied drive along the west
ern front was the first big push
since Chinese Reds jumped into
the war in late November and
reversed General MacArthur’s “end
the-war” campaign into a long
retreat.
SH MENTS OVER
R L-TRUCK ROUTE
CHEAPER THAN SEA
SEATTLE, Jan. 27.—<£>—A British
Columbia Railway official said to
day that interior Alaska points soon
may be able to receive shipments
more cheaply over a new rail-truck
land route than by sea.
John A. Kennedy, general man
ager of the Pacific Great Eastern
Railway, announced he is confer
ring with American rail line repre
sentatives here on rate schedules
which will apply on the new con
nection with the Territory.
Kennedy said he thinks the rates
will be lower than those now
charged by steamship lines on
freight to interior Alaska cities.
The new route will, be by rail
to Prince George, B. C., then over
the John Hart Highway to Dawson
Creek, B. C„ where it joins the
Alaska Highway.
Kennedy said the Pacific Great
Eastern’s 82-mile extension from
its present terminus at Quesnel, B.
C„ will be completed in 1952. The
John Hart Highway is to be opened
In September. The railway has
exclusive truck hauling rights over
the John Hart road, being built
ay British Columbia.
The new route will cut approxi
mately 1,000 miles off the Pacific
Northwest’s present land connection
with Alaska by way of the Alaska
Highway.

Freeze
At a
Glance
- !
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27—Wl—1The
government's new stabilization or
der at a glance:
It freezes all wages as of mid
night last Thursday, and almost all
prices at their highest levels dur
ing the period from last Dec. 15
to Jan. 25.
It is applicable immediately.
It is designed to hold back
rising prices and wages while gov
ernment officials work out ceiling
formulas aimed at staving off dan
gerous inflation.
For prices, it specifically pro
hibits buying or selling "in the re
gular course of business or trade"
any commodity or service at a
price higher than that charged
during the Dec. 15-Jan. 25 period—
"Regardless of any contract or
other obligation.”
For wages, it prohibits paying
or receiving of wages higher than
those in effect last Thursday. New
employees must be paid no more
than the Jan. 25 rate for the “Jobs
for which they were hired.” Over
time, vacation and holiday pay, pen
sions, benefits, etc., also must be
held at the level in effect Jan. 25.
However, the wage regulation al
lows for appeals and the price order
lists numerous exceptions and ex
emptions—especially of agricultural j
products sold on the farm.
Both were apparently drawn up I
with an eye to future adjustment—
either up or down as conditions
dictate.
Violations are punishable by fines
up to $10,000, one year in prison,
or both.

MOVE ONLY
STOPGAP IS
REPORT NOW
Highest Levels of Period
from Dec. 19 Through
January 25
By MAX HALL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 —(PI —
The government ordered a long-ex
pected temporary freeze of prices
and wages last night and then turn
ed today to the mountainous task
of making the controls work.
The Office of Price Stabilization
(OPS), headed by Michael V. Di
Salle. flashed an SOS. to the FBI
and other bureaus for help in en
forcement.
President Truman ordered all
Federal agencies to pitch in as
needed.
One official said the OPS plans
a “ruthless enforcement effort at
the outset.”
Oddly, at the same time, the OPS
enforcement chief suddenly re
signed. He is Rear Admiral John H.
Hoover, retired Naval officer. His
reason for quitting was not clear.
Twin Freezes
The twin freezes were welcomed
by many men in Congress and in
business — but labor leaders raised
a big protest over the wage freeze.
They want flexible controls that
will permit lagging wages to catch
up.
The Wage Stabilization Board
(WSB), which didn't order the wage
freeze and took no responsibility
for it, renewed its work today on a
flexible formula to replace the
freeze.
In a dramatic and turbulent set
ting, nearly exhausted officials
gave out the news of the freezes
piecemeal. The process lasted from
6 p.m. until nearly 1 o’clock this
morning.
All Prices Not Hit
The price freeze does not apply
to all prices. A long list of items,
Including many foods, will still have
leeway to rise.
But most prices were frozen at
the highest level of the period from
Dee. 19 through Jan. 25 — day be
fore yesterday. Since very few
things have dropped in price dur
ing that period, the general effect
is to freeze Jan. 25 prices.
Wages, Salaries
Wages and salaries were simply
frozen as of Jan. 25, and no exemp
tions were listed in the order.
Board Chairman Cyrus S. Ching
announced the wage freeze to the
press but he was careful to point
out that it was signed by Economic
Stabilizer Eric Johnston who hand
ed him the order Just 10 minutes
before the announcement was made.
Only a Stopgap
The price freeze is only a stopgap,
too, and will melt gradually away
as soon as separate orders can be
prepared for various kinds of goods.
The only separate orders now in
existence are on automobiles and
hides. But plenty more orders are
coming. Edward Phelps, assistant
price director, said that within 30
days, mast retailers and some
wholesalers will be under new or
ders controlling their sales mar
gins.
The freeze order does not apply
to farm prices of live animals and
other raw, unprocessed goods.
Prices As Are
But certain foods, like beef, veal,
lamb, and pork, come under the
freeze — that is, the processor, the
wholesalers, and the retailer must
keep the price as it is, at least for
the time being.
On most foods, however, prices
can be raised, all the way to the
consumer, whenever necessary to
reflect a rise in the farmer’s price.
Some examples: Bread, eggs, poul
try, fresh vegetables, peanuts,
oranges.
Exemptions
A number of items are specifical
ly exempted from price controls by
the Defense Production Act. For
example, professional fees, insur
ance rates, freight and passenger
rates, utility rates, real estate prices,
and the prices of newspapers, books,
magazines, motion pictures, theater
tickets, and advertising rates charg
ed by radio and television stations.
Rents are not controlled under
this order, but many areas of the
country are still under Federal or
state rent controls.
