Vandenberg Urges
Charter Approval
As Step to Peace
WASHINGTON, June 29 (UP)
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R.,
Mich., told the senate today that
world chaos is the alternative to
the United Natons security secur
ity league.
Vandenberg, chairman of sen
ate republicans and a delegate
to the San Francisco conference
which drafted the security char
ter, made his formal report to
the senate in a stirring speech for
early ratification.
"This can be a new emancipa
tion for the world," he declared.
He pleaded with charter critics
to be realistic in their appraisal
of the document in the light of
world facts and to give it at least
a chance to see whether collec
tive security can prevent another
world war. '
The one-time isolationist told
the senate he will support the
treaty with all the resurces at
his command.
"I shall do. this in the deep
conviction that the alternative is
physical and moral chaos in
many weary places of the earth,"
. "I shall do it because there
must be no default in our oft
pledged purpose to outlaw ag
gression so far as lies within our
human power. I shall do it be
cause this 'plan, regardless of in
firmities, holds great promise
that the United Nations may col
laborate for peace as effectively
as they had' made common cause
for war.
"I shall do it because peace
must not be, cheated of its only
collective change."
Vandenberg addressed most of
his 5,000-word speech to answer
ing possible criticisms of the
charter.

Prisoners Will
Dismantel Secret
U. S. Port in Alaska
SEATTLE, June 29 (UP) The
army revealed today that Ger
man prisoners of war this sum
mer will dismantle for salvage
an $18,000,000 army port which
was built secretly on isolated Ex
cursion inlet in Alaska and was
used only 11 months for ship
ping. About 700 prisoners, the first
to be sept outside the United
Plates, will salvage 12,000,000
board feet of lumber and $3,-
000,000 worth of critical material.
About 100 prisoners already have
been sent to Excursion inlet.
Existence of the 630-acre pro
ject long has been known by
Alaskans, but the army had pre
vented its mention in the press.
Known as the "Alaska barge ter
minal," the port required 15
months for construction by 3,610
army and civilian workers. It
was completed in November,
1943.
Barges from the Un-icd States
transferred military supplies for
the Aleutians to ocean going ves
sels at the port. After the Alaska
war waned, the port was declared
! surplus.

The town of Millican, Ore., has
been sold and its population dou
bled all in one operation. New
owners are Mr. and Mrs. George
Tetry of Bend who replace W. A.

that time Rahn had no offers,
but he did get into Robert Rip

Included in the sale are 20
acres of land, the entire "town,"
an airport, and a well 409 feet
deep.
Washington, D. C , crowded by
visitors from all over the world,
enjoyed the healthiest year of Its
history in 1942.
