Eisenhower Calls
For Reinforcement
Of Alaska Defense
Washington, Apr. 1 U.R)
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to
day called for a hurry-up rein
forcement of our Alaskan de

The former army chief of

in a letter to Chairman Elmer
Thomas, (D., Okla.) to the senate
military appropriations subcom
mittee. He explained he was
writing to elaborate on testi
mony he gave the subcommittee
last Wednesday.
Eisenhower specifically pro
posed spending an extra $130,
000,000 on aircraft procurement,
a step-up in military intelli
gence activities and action on an
industrial mobilization program,
which some administration lead
ers believe already is in adequate
shape.
Priority To Alaska
But he assigned No. 1 prior
ity to improving the defenses of
Alaska. "I still believe that some
defense of Alaska is so import
ane that it should be considered
above the others, both in time
and in importance." he said.
He recommended as "a mini
mum" the establishment of a re
inforced infantry battalion
1000 to 1500 men and adequate
anti-aircraft batteries at each of
the three major airfields in the
Fairbanks-Anchorage area, with
smaller garrisons at the lesser
fields, plus erection of an Alask

Key West, Fla.. April 1 (U.R)
President Truman and his family
today gave a slightly flustered
census taker the vital statistics
on their lives, including how '
much Margaret made last year
as a concert soprano.
Like thousands of American 1
householders across the nation,
the president, his wife and
daughter observed the opening
day of the 17th census by chat
ting witn an enumerator who
came armed with a huge, green
lined pad of questions.
The enumerator who called at
the inter White House was Mrs.
Eileen M. Nolte, mother of two
children and the wife of Chief
Pipefitter Irvin F. Nolte of the
U. S. S. Howard W. Gilmore, a
submarine tender based here.
The blonde. 26-year-old daugh
ter of the president, who broke
a concert tour to visit here with
Mr. and Mrs. Truman, drew some
of the sample questions asked
evey fifth person about income
nd education.
The soprano concert star sat
with her father and mother in
a white blouse and chartreuse
shorts and told how much she
earned in 1049 and the extent of
her education.
White House officials did not
disclose the figure Margaret
turned in for her 1949 earnings,
but it was recently reported that
she grossed over $60,000 last
year. The president was not
asked about his $100,000 salary.
