SIBERIAN
FORCE IS
BUILT UP
(Continued from Page One)
Bridges pressed Marshall as to
why the secretary of defense believes
that the bombing of Red China's
Manchurian bases — as proposed
by MncArthur — might bring the
Soviets into war.
Mutual Defense Part
Marshall mentionel the Soviet
Red Chinese mutual defense pact.
He said that because of this there
is doubt about the extent to which
the Russians could permit "a Satel
lite as important to them as the
Chinese Communist regime develop
a feeling that they would have to
go it alone.”
"Those would be the main consid
erations involved in the opinion that
it was dangerous to carry out that
bombing you have referred to," he
added.
At this point, censors cut out
about 35 words of his testimony.
Eisenhower Plans
Secretary Marshall also testified
he fears adoption of MacArthur’s
Korean war proposals would seri
ously affect Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower’s European defense plans.
Marshall also said:
He believes Eisenhower supports
President Truman’s limited Korean
war program.
Administration military leaders—
including Gen. Matthew B. Ridg
way in his understanding — present
a solid front in support of Presi
dent's plan and in opposition to
MacArthur proposals for blockade
of China, bombing of Manchurian
ba; es and use of Chine ;e Nationalist
troops.
MacArthur testified 10 days ago
that it was his understanding that
Ridgeway, his successor in the Far
Eastern commands, had similar
views to his on how the Korean war
should be conducted. He said he
thought other military leaders there
also agreed with him.
Senator Lyndon Johnson asked
Marshall if the adoption of the
MacArthur proposals “would re
quire adjustments of General Eisen
hower's plans and would seriously
affect those plans?”
“We fear it might," Marshall re
plied.
Bradley Next Witness
When recessing today’s session of
the joint Senate Armed Services and
Foreign Relations committees,
Chairman Russell announced that
Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will be
the witness tomorrow.
He said it was possible, however,
Marshall might be called back later
for still more testimony.

gists as the ideal nucleus for an
Alaskan .defensive force. (The size
of an RCT varies eonsiderably, but
usually ranges between 4,000 and
7,000 men). Air-transported, a road
less country would be no problem
for such a force.
A regimental combat team could
be formed from one of the Feder
alized Guard divisions in the United
States. However, the Army is re
luctant, for both military and po
litical reasons, to detach elements
or otherwise break up the states’
militia division. At least one regu
lar Army RCT is known to be avail
able for use in Alaska if events do
not require its assignment to Korea
or Europe.

salmon
r „
Wery little is known about the Alaska salmon, back
bone of the Territory’s economy. Despite years of
study, scientists still have much to learn about this
highly important resource.
With more knowledge there will be better opportunity to
insure future runs of salmon in Alaskan waters. For this
reason, salmon packers of the Bristol Bay, Westward, Kodiak
\ Island, Southeastern Alaska and other districts each year assess
themselves a fixed amount per case of salmon to finance the
University of Washington Fisheries Research Institute.
The industry in the past five years has allocated nearly a million dollars
to finance these studies. The University’s Institute is an entirely inde
pendent, scientific research organization, directed by Dr. William F.
Thompson, who has won an international reputation for his studies
of the halibut and Fraser River sockeye. The Institute’s research pro
gram complements studies being made by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
