War With Russia Would Lose Areas Of Alaska, Claim WASHINGTON P) The senate armed services prepared ness subcommittee, following a trip to Alaska, savs all out war with Russia would force this coun try to abandon certain isolated areas of Alaska. !t gave assurance, however, that "critical areas can be held." The subcommittee said it ap pears "reasonable to assume that little could be done to protect the Seward peninsula area from either bombing or actual invasion if the Russians so desired." It was the only specific reference made bv the senators to areas within their category. Declaring It found the military establishment alert and ready for any eventuality, the task force as seted that "if the present state of alertness and vigilance is main lained, there can be no Pearl Har bor in Alaska." Despite this, however, the re port stated that the defense pro gram was crippled by numerous factors. "Housing appears to be the big bottleneck," Hunt explained. "The little bottlenecks within that big one are a scarcity of labor, un reasonably high costs of construc- ! lion and transportation, outrag eous costs of living, and a Strang j ling amount of governmental Red ! tape upon which the whole pro J gram exists." Citing 47 individual steps which the task force found to be re quired between the initiation of a project and the contract award. Hunt said: "Red tape along 'with Red Rus- sia can be a dangerous toe.

Correspondent Bill Boss, with Canadian soldiers of the Princess Patricia regiment, wrote that the Canadians advancing in the Chip yong secto' , saw a picture of hor ror at the tiny village of Kudun. "The Canadians saw the bodies of the Americans 68 many stark naked, killed in flight as they struggled to get out of their sleep ing bags and attempted to get away," the dispatch said. The Patricias learned that their predecessors bedded down after taking the village and posted a solitary sentry instead of digging in and maintaining a proper watch. The Chinese silently estab lished a roadblock behind the Americans and attacked from the front, mowing down Ihe awakened troops mercilessly." Boss quoted Maj. Gordon Hen derson of the Princess Pats as say ing: "It's a tragedy. But it's a terrific lesson for our fellows. It rams home every point the com manding officer has been teaching these last weeks of night training."

Whitney C, lis wold of Vale university nays World War Two'a hurry-up system of college education Mas a failure. Awarding a college degree for such telescoped "Marathon" study is "like awarding a prize to the artist who paints the nwst pic tures instead of the artist who painli the best," Ihe educator said in a speech prepared for the alumni day luncheon. With education facing another national emergency which could well continue for another gener ation, he suggested this for mula for accelerating academic study on a more practicable basis: "1 suggest that the best way to do it would be to eliminate waste motion alt along the line; to strengthen our secondary school curricula in both substance and discipline; to eliminate redund ancy, vocationalism, jargon and excessive extra-curricular ac tivities from our liberal arts col leges; to offer short (not more than eight-week) summer terms for intensive work in subjects, such as foreign languages and elementary mathematics, that can be studied intensively. "If these steps should make it possible for students to take their b. A. or B. S. degrees in three years, so much the better," he said. "The decrees would be worth more than they are today."

Sen. Manley J. Wiison, Warren, a Democrat and a stale t'10 leader, demanded the resignation of T. Morris Dunne, chairman of the commission. i James Cellars, representing em- ploycrs, made the "fudging" charge. He accused the commis sion of violating the seasonality Law by winking at the requirement that operators must shut down for 12 straight weeks in successive calendar vears to qualify as sea sonal. Both charges were made before the senate labor ahd industries committee. Cellars told the committee that of manslaughter, had been ar rested in los Angeles.
