2ND ALERT CALLED
OFF; CONTEMPLATED
NOW FOR SATURDAY
The second blackout in the Jun
eau-Douglas portion of the terri
tory-wide exercise "Firestep” sche
duled for last night was called off
because the airplane scheduled to
pass over Juneau, developed engine
trouble approximately 100 miles
west of Juneau.
The military at Elmendorf Field,
Anchorage, informed civil defense
director R. F. Robertson that the
simulated bombing raid on the
local area had been set for 12:30
a.m. today. Robertson, was informed
last night at 11 that the raid had
been called off. The aircraft was to
arrive over Juneau at 12:30 a.m.
today because of a delay caused by
strong headwinds.
Nc blackou? is anticipated to
night, but the military contem
plates an air-raid attack over Ju
neau and vicinity Saturday eve
ning.
Commander F. J. Statts of the
Coast Guard Cutter Storis told
Robertson that the lights on the
Storis were extinguished at the be
ginning of the blackout Wednes
day evening. When the street
lights came on, the Storis lights
were turned up and the same pro
cedure was used the second time
the street lights were turned on
and off. Comd. Statts stated that
the lights aboard the Storis were
turned on when the all-clear sig
nal was sounded.

JENSEN BURNED UP
ABOUT LOW LICENSE
PAID BYJRUCKERS
By FRANK W. VAIFLF.
WASHINGTON, April 13 —UPl
Rep. Jensen <R-Iowa> has promised
to "raise a big noise” if Alaska truck
operators don’t start paying higher
license fees.
In testimony which the Hous<
Appropriations Committee has mad'
public, Jensen said “it burns me up”
to learn "of the measly little fee
charged trucks in the Territory.
Jensen’s blast followed disclosure
by James P. Davis, director of th'
Office of Territories, that a truck
ing concern operating out of Val
dez, Alaska, is cutting heavily ini<
revenues of the govevnment-oper
ated Alaska Railroad.
Davis cited the truck competitor,
as one reason the railroad coulo
not afford to increase rates to rnee,
rising labor costs.
He said truckers pay “an insigni
ficant amount ... I think $20 for
the truck and $15 for each trailer.’
Then Jensen declared:
“After the taxpayers of the United
States have spent over $70,000,000
to rehabilitate and put that Alaska
railroad in good shape . . . then to
learn that you have a big trucking
outfit up there, any number of
them using the highways in compe
tition to the railroad, highway;
which the taxpayers of the United
States have built, it burns me up
...”
He said he felt the situation was'
“more than this committee, I am
sure, is going to tolerate.”
"There is just one thing we can j
io,” he added, “that is stop furnish
ng the money to build the high
ways, which we do not want to do.’
