three Seattle hospital equipment
companies could supply, were sent
to Anchorage Monday night.

the respirator center is full, he
said.

John Declares He
Voluntarily Went
Over To The Re'ds
BERLIN, UP) —Dr. Otto John
declared today he went over vol
untarily to the Communists in
order to warn the world against
what he called U.S. plans for a
new war which would destroy
Germany. He said he is now
going to work for peace.
John told a news conference in
the Soviet sector of Berlin he
deserted as West Germany’s se
curity chief on July 20 to expose
what he termed revival of Nazism
in Wesf Germany and to tell the
“real truth” about the European
Defense Community Treaty.
Appearing before more than 400
correspondnets of the world press
John declared he went over to
the Reds to join what he describ
ed as the only forum he could
find to warn the world the United
States is using Britain, France
and the Bonn regime as “tools”
for another War which would de
stroy Germany.
In Bonn, Allied and West Ger
man officials plunged into special
conferences to consider the im
pact of John’s own statement he
had voluntarily deserted to the
East.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s
government and the U. S. High
Commission had contended John
was lured or tricked into East
Germany by the Communists.
Asked about the wife he abrupt
ly left behind when he crossed
into the Soviet sector the night
of July 20, John said he would
not discuss private matters.
John declared that during his
recent trip to the United States,
where he conferred with Allen
Dulles, head of the Central In
telligence Agency, “I gathered
that out of the hysterical fear in
the United States another war is
being prepared and that the Ger
man people would suffer most
from this war.”
He charged there are secret
codicils in the EDC treaties that
deal with war, ostensibly against
the East. He declined to elabor
ate, saying it was up to Chancel
lor Adenauer to disclose the codi
cils rather than to deny their
existence. .
John said he was not a Com
munist but politically independ
ent. He said he has discarded all
“secret intelligence” work and
will not engage in it in the East.

Senators Act to
Save Alaska Ship
Passenger Service
SEATTLE, UP—Washington's
two Democratic senators, Warren
Magnuson and Henry Jackson,
called on members of President
Eisenhower’s Cabinet Monday for
early action to save ocean passen
ger service to Alaska.
They sent a joint letter to De
fense Secretary Charles E. Wilson,
Interior Secretary McKay and
Commerce Secretary Weeks. The
letter said:
“It is evident that the problems
which will be created by termina
tion of passenger ship service to
Alaska will be of major concern
to the Departments of Interior,
Commerce and Defense. Likewise,
it is clear that these departments
—and particularly the Depart
ment of Interior—have a respon
sibility to explore all aspects of
the Alaska Steamship Co.'s deci
sion and to develop a program
which will provide a reasonably
satisfactory solution.”
Alaska Steam has announced
plans to terminate its passenger
service Oct. 8 because of heavy
deficits.
Federal agencies should con
sider either guaranteeing passen
ger booking aboard Alaska Steam
vessels, the senators recommend
ed, or actual government opera
tion of passenger ships to the
territory.
Government operation would be
legal, they declared, under terms
of the Merchant Marine Act of
1920. This act gives the Federal
Maritime Board responsibility to
acquire ships and operate them
on such routes as are desirable
“for the promotion, development,
expansion and maintenance of the
coastwise trade of the U.S.
