ooty e THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXVIL, NO. 10,393 DREAMBOAT HOP VOTED SUCCESSFUL Pilot Declares Proves Sup- erfort Can Do Job of Defending U. S. CAIRO, Oct. 7—The communica- | tions officer of the Superfortress | Pacusan Dreamboat, which flew|shown the magnetic North Pole to non-stop 10925 miles over the| Arctic Circle from Honolulu to Cairo, said today that commercial | adr service over the top of the world was practicable from a communica- | tions standpoint. ‘Lt. Col. F. J. Shannon, called| back to Army service especially forl tHe test flight from his job as en-| gineer for radio station WCAU in Philadelphia, said high radio fre- quiences were blacked out repeated- 1y by sunspot flareups but declared: | “If commercial airways decide to‘v use this region as an air route, Ii believe they could have successlul‘ communications with a few welli placed low frequency radio sta-| tions.” | Shannon pointed out in an inter-| view that the shortest distance be-i tween many population centers was across the northern wastes. { Average Speed 276 m.p.h. I The Dreamboat landed at Payne| Pield in the desert near here at| 9/57 a.m. Sunday (11:57 p.m. Sat-| urday, PST) —39 hours, 361 minutes after the takeoff on an| epochal flight to test equipment! in Polar weather. The speed av-! crage was 276 miles an hour. ‘Col. C. S. (Bill)’ Irvine of St. ‘Paul, Neb., pilot of the big four- engine “Boeing and. Commander of | its 10-man crew, said the flight had proved the Superiortress “would do its job” of defending the United | States “over any part of the world.” | The Dreamboat had been stripped ( even of de-icing equipment to carry | a heavier fuel load and had ex-| hausted all except 400 gallons of its! [ ilIérry -(o- Rbund& The Was}yingionf By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. recently was compar- | ing his father with the man who| succeeded him in the White House. His general conclusion was that Harry Truman certainly is not lack-: ing in courage. “Father never stuck his neck out the way Truman dces,” said young, Franklin. “He never wrote a letter to Congress demanding that they! pass the FEPC. He was all for the FEPC and the anti-poll tax bill, but he let other people get out ing front and carry the ball.” ! ‘It was hard for friends to say! Whether young Franklin was paying | tribute, to Truman’s courage or his; father's sagacity. One fact that many people don't!| realize is that Truman's position: regarding racial injustice is strong partly because he has two conscien- tious southerners at the head of his Justice Department. The . Attorney General, Tom/ Clark, is from Texas, while the head of the Criminal Division, La- mar Caudle, is from North Caro- a. _ Both have been vigorous in at- tempting to prevent racial injus- tice. When the race riots broke in Columbia, Tenn., for instance, Caudle, unable to get airplane; transportation, ‘drove all night in his car to reach the scene of the trouble. Again when Isaac Woodward, a Negro veteran, was permanently blinded after an altercation with 4 South Carolina policeman, Caudle —as chief of the Justice Depart- ment’s Criminal Division—brought a criminal action against the po- liceman. Such a step by the Fed- eral Government is almost unpre- cedented, and the fact that it was taken by a North Carolinian, with the support of an Attorney General from Texas, is significant. Note—Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia and other southerners ar- gue that the race problem can best be handled by southerners them- selves.

The crafty southpaw from Broken | Bow, Okla, hurled a magniticent game, contributing a base hit that drove in the first run in the third inning. - Two St. Louis singles and some ttery infield play by the Sox en- abled the Red Birds to score two more in the fifth, more than enough s. With tomorrow open for travel, the next game of the 43rd series will be played in Fenway Park, Bos- ton, Wednesday afternoon. The classic will be continued there Thursday and Friday. If further games are necessary they will be played in this park Sunday and next Tuesday. Plenty of Stuff Brecheen showed plenty of stuff, puzzling the Sox right hand hit- ters with his darting screw ball and curving the left handers time after time. He struck out four men and walk- ed only three, holding Ted Williams hitless. ” Only twice did the Sox have a man as far as second base in the second and fourth innings. Botn times it was Rudy York who, in each instance had walked. There wasn't much doubt about the final outcome after the Cards scored the two big runs in the tifth for Brecheen showed no signs of weakening, getting stronger as he went along. It was the second world series victory for Brecheen, who had beat- en the Browns' Sig Jakucki in the 1944 set after he had lost to the Yankees' Marius Russo in 1943 R FLORIDA PREPS " FOR HURRICANE MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 7.—Evacuation of all the west boast beaches of Florida has been suggested as a hurricane with velocity estimated at 100 miles an hour is expected to strike any moment.

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) Indefinite continuation of the maritime strike was threatened to- |day by Harry Bridges, CIO long- shore boss, unless a separate con- tract was negotiated for CIO long- shore work on AFL-manned west coast lumber ships. Bridges asserted that settlement in Washington of the strike of CIO engineers would not mean agree- ment on the west coast. j There was an understanding, Bridges said, that the engineers would support the International Longshoremen’s and Warehouse- !men’s Union in its west coast dis- pute, and that he “doubted” if the engineers would go back to mork even though an agreement was reached in Washington unless Bridges” “steam schooner” demands |are met, | Jurisdictional Issue | Simultaneously, Frank Foisie, President of the Wateriront Em- ployers Association of the Pacific, | declared _ the CIO . longshore ' de- mands upen the coastwise lumber shipping constituted a “jurisdiction~ al dispute” with the AFL Sallors Union of the Pacific, and as such was not a matter for negotiation by the employers.

Steelman might intervene personally if they were unable to get together.
