Truman Blasts Ike!
.
And MacArthur;
Rejects Conference
WASHINGTON, (JP)—President i
Truman Thursday rejected sug
gestions he hold a White House
conference with generals Eisen
hower and MacArthur — and he
blasted both of them.
Truman called President-elect
Eisenhower’s campaign announce
ment that he would go to Korea
a piece of demagoguery.
He told his news conference
MacArthur should have reported
to him after he returned from
Japan following MacArthur’s ous*
ter last year. Truman said that is
what any decent man would have
done... • .
Truman said he traveled more
than 14,000 miles to see MacAr
thur at Wake Island and about all
he got for that was a lot of misin
formation.
Asked what this misinformation
was, Truman said MacArthur told
him at their historic meeting at
Wake Island, Oct. 14, 1950:
1. The Chinese would move
into Korea.
2. It would be possible to send a
division of the regular U.S. Army
from Korea to Germany for occu
pation purposes to- relieve another
division by January, 1951.
3. That MacArthur was sure the
war was over.
Truman fired MacArthur April
11, 1951.
Truman spoke up in response
to questions arising from Mac
Arthur’s speech to the National
Association of Manufacturers in
New York last Friday that “there
is a clear and definite solution” to
the Korean conflict.

Rotarians Hear History
And Work of Road Comm.
A visitor at the Rotary meeting
was Major Tanner, commanding
officer at Nome Field Air Base.
The program was a talk by
Road Commissioner John Cooley
concerning the history and work
of the Alaska Road Commission.
The Road Commission was or
ganized in 1905 under the War
Department. At that time the ter
ritpry was divided into eight dis
tricts and two sub-districts. In
1933 the Road Commission was
placed under the Department of
the Interior and Nome became
one of the four districts.
Funds for th£ Road Commis
sion are derived from five sour
ces: 1) federal acts of Congress,
2) taxes on industries in Alaska,
3) appropriations by the Territor
ial Legislature, 4) the National
Park Service, and 5) contributions
by individuals, companies and
corporations.
From 1905 to 1945 the total ex
penditures fof road construction
and maintenance were $39 million
of which the Nome District spent
$3 million. Since 1945 these ex
penditures have amounted to $100
million.
In 1920 there were nearly 12,000
miles of wagon roads, sled roads
and trails. In 1925 it had de
creased to 7000 miles. And today
there are 3500 miles of roads. The
decrease, of course, came about
because of air travel.
In the territory there are less
than 1000 miles of through roads,
which include the Richardson,
Glenn, Alaska, Haines and Sew
ard-Anchorage Highways.
The construction cost of these
through roads today runs between
$30,000 and $40,000 per mile. This
compares to $8,000 a mile in 1936.
In closing, Mr. Cooley briefly
spoke of several projects antici
pated for the improvement of the
roads in our local area next sum
