Captain Heine said the defense of Alaska will be satisfactory once adequate housing is pro vided for military personnel. He said the military felt it has mapped a satisfactory plan for defense of the territory. He ex pressed the belief that, when housing is available for the mili tary, the strategically important territory's defenses will be suf ficient to turn any possible at tacking force. Citing the unpredictable wea ther and the thousands of miles of rugged coastline, he described them as allies as much as aides to an enemy. Noting Alaska's dominant po sition on the Great Circle air routes between east and west, he added that the military is well aware that the territory could well be a bomber base for a pos sible invader as well as for de fending American forces. As long as the United States remains a democratic nation, the intelligence officer declared, defense strategy will have to con sist of skeleton' forces in strate gic positions, with a vast bulk of lightning mobile forces based in the states and ready to move quickly in case of any invasion move by a hostile power. He aid the nation's economy and the temper of the people would not stand the cost or manpower for bristling defenses at all stra tegic positions. Captain Heine said the Alaska command is watching with in terest the dredging of Wrangell Narrows in southeastern Alaska. If a war emergency arises, he said, shipping headed for north ern bases would be forced to seek the shelter of the inland water way. Resolutions and the election of officers were the main items of business before the convention at its closing session today. A dinner and dance will wind up the annual meeting tonight.

Strong Efforts on Foot to Revive Bipartisan Policy Washington, March 21 IP) Administration leaders were re ported making strong efforts today to revive the bipartisan for eign policy. It has been sagging in the continued absence from congress of Senator Vandenberg. Recovering from a lung operation last fall, the Michigan re publican, has been ill and un- able to attend any senate ses sions since February 2. In his absence, bipartisan co operation on foreign affairs has deteriorated to such an extent that the administration is report ed to have enlisted Attorney General McGrath, a former sen ator, in an effort to reestablish the working basis the democrats have had with republicans in the past. McGrath has talked to some republican senators about the matter. Possibly as a result of his urging, the state department has begun a series of meetings witn senators ol both parties. As an example, a group of six senators will sit down at lunch eon next Wednesday with deputy Undersecretary of State Dean Rusk for a briefing on problems in southeast Asia. However, this doesn't fulfill the republicans' desire for con sultation at the top levels. It doesn't take the place, thev say, oi tne almost daily confer ences Vandenberg and others used to have with Robert Lov- ett, former under secretary of state and right hand man to the then Secretary of State George Marsnau. Secretary of State Acheson has developed no such contact man as Lovett. The secretary himself goes to uapitol Hill frequently but re publicans seem to doubt that they are being taken into the administration's confidence in advance of policy decisions as Vandenberg and a few others were in the past. Chairman Connally (D-Tex) said Acheson probably will be called upon to discuss his re cent seven-point challenge to Russia with foreign relations committee members soon. Senator Brewster (R., Me.) told a reporter he thinks it is "most unfortunate" for continu ation of the bipartisan foreign policy that Vandenberg hasn't The gasoline Why let gummy gas steal fun and You can really feel the difference 1P s. t ! !
