HE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS VOL. LXVIL, NO. 10,872 ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1948 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS May PALESTINE INVASION FORECAST Egyptian Action at Sea Is . Hinted — Communists Lose Out at Polls (By The Associated Press) A plan for immediate invasion of Palestine by Trans-Jordan's Arab army was reported by a well Informed source in Cairo today. Coupled with this was a hint of Egyptian action at sea. Egypt banned all shipping from her territorial waters bordering south- ern Palestine, effective May 1. Arab sources said the ban' was preliminary to “naval maneuvers.” Within Palestine, the civil war continued. A major battle appeared to be shaping up for Jerusalem. All air services at Lydda, Pales- tines’ internationally served airport, were suspended. Oil supplies tightened. Iraq pe- troleum ceased flowing to Haifa, where Hagananah fighters seized control last week. . /Situation In Germany A fresh test of East-West poli- tical strength was staged Sunday in Germany. Communists ran fourth' in community elections in two American zone states, Bavaria and Hesse. The Communists lost ground and right-wing parties gained as compared to their show- ings a year ago. In a move apparently indicat- ing Russia's interest in the future of Palestine, Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet delegate to the United Na- tions, announced the US8R. was ending its 13-month boycott of the U. N. Trusteeship Council at Lake Sussess. Koreans In Riot Nearly 8,000 Koreans rioted over the weekend in the Kobe-Osaka area cf Japan, at the southern end of Honshu, main Japanese island. U. 8. military police jailed 800 per- sons after American Negro soldiers quelled the outbreaks over a touchy education issue. No American cas- ualties were reported, but at least 38 Koreans and Japanese were in- jured. U. S. Intelligence officers said the outbreak was Communist- inspired. A sniper attack on an American courier plant on Cheju island, off southern Korea, was reported by U. 8. army headquarters at Seoul, Korea. The snipers escaped. Washingten sources reported a program of military backing for the anti-Communist block of West- ern Europe is in the final stages of planning by the U. 8. adminis- tration. S e KETCHIKAN VISITOR F. Thatcher from Ketchikan registered at the Baranof - Hotel. The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1948, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON—Notes from the secret Republican House caucus— Big debate over Federal aid to edu- cation, also salary raises for postal employees. Speaker Joe Martin was opposed to both. So was GOP leader Halleck of Indiana “Defense comes first,” said the Speaker. “After we get that out of the way, there’ll be plenty of time left to take up aid to edu- cation wnd postal pay raises.” . . . Other Republicansdidn’t. like this much . . . After whispering with Joe Martin, Halleck finally lectured his flock: “Neither the Speaker nor I have at any time indicated to anyone what he should or should not do. I reiterate that position now. Vote your convic- tions.” . . . Meanwhile the teach- ers’ pay bill remains tightly block- ed in committee by Rep. Fred Hartley of New Jersey. He rush- ed the Taft-Hartley Act out in a hurry but not pay for teachers. “TAFT'S A COMMUNIST” Loquacious Congressman Fred “Doc” Smith of Ohio fired a blast at the Taft-Ellender-Wagner hous- ing bill. “It's a Communist mea- sure,” sputtered Smith. “Well, we're all entitled to our (Continued on Page Four) is| -1and left with 18 as follows: Flier Is | Killed at Fairbanks FATRBANKS, Alaska, April 26“ (M—Ladd Field Air Force offlcer< | announced Saturday the arrival 01 |the 82nd Fighter Group and the| |death of a Philadelphia pilot in one | of the unit’s first northern training missions.

Tail twisters, Dr. J. O. Rude and |Don Foster were kept very busy in |the capacity of giving the many guests, Lions and their ladies a “fine” time.

It is an | outgrowth of union demands for a| wage increase of 30 cents an hour and eight paid holidays. The company launched its drive in newspaper advertisements charg- ing that two-thirds of the smklngr workers did not vote for the walkout. | The strike vote was taken in May, | 1947 when, the company said, less than one-third of the union's pre-| sent membership was employed at| Boeing. At the same time, William M. Al- len, company President, dropped a not-too-veiled hint that the firm| might move its key bomber factories n orcer to restore producion. “Boeing is going to continue to| build planes,” he declared, “—if not | in Seattle, then somewhere else.” | He declined to amplify the state-| ment. | Tear Eas Breais | Up Sirike of 48 Florida Prisoners‘ TALLAHASSEE.

The resolution cited a previous request to the Republican Central Committee of Alaska to call a Territorial convention and said that the committee had failed to do so. Fourth Division Republicans charge that Albert White of Ju- neau, chairman of Alaska's Re- publican organization, had refused to eall a Territorial convention in the accepted manner—through pub- lication 30 days in advance of the date so as to give districts time to hold caucuses for choosing dele- gates. | Sig Bredlie, secretary of the Fourth Division Club, said that “the anti-White” Republicans hope to win recognition of their dele- delphia, Bredlie said Republican organi- zations in Ketchikan, Juneau, Sit-| ka, Cordova, Petersburg and Nome | have offered their support of the Mount, McKinley meeting. ———————— § Many Mee!

I. A. Sandvigen, business repre- sentative of the Seattle lodge, said the workers as asking a 25 per- cent increase in wages, $25,000 in- surance for machinists flown to, Alaska and retention of “coffeé | time” and its inclusion in the con- tract. He said that serving of coffee at 10 am. and 3 p.m, with lunch and cofiee at 9 pm. for the night shift, has been a custom \for a long time in most canneries. Sand- vigen said the employers offered no insurance. Machinists are being released to go to Alaska to start preparing the cauneries for operation, Sand- vigen said, but employers are re- quired to sign a preseason con- tract and furnish insurance. Albin L. Peterson, Federal labor | conciliator, assigned to the negotia- “tions, will be potified that the | employers and unions are dead- locked and need assistance, Sand- igen said.

As congratulations poured in from far-oft dominions, London plunged into the biggest display of Royal pageantry since Princess Elizabeth married Philip last November. From early morning thousands streamed into the capital to watch the Royal Family drive in state from Buckingham Palace to St. Paul's |Cathedral for a national service of thanksgiving. Flags of virtually all nations deck~ ed the “silver bridal path” where thousands waited to cheer their rulers. Two 41-gun salutes signalled the |start of the procession.

Allen of the Uni- versity of Washington defended a facuity member today against criti- | cism by Alaska Governor Ernest| Gruening. | The faculty member is Dr. Henry A who testified before a joint | Congressional Committee on Alaskan | matters. President Allen released an ex- [change of letters with the Alaska | Governor. The Governor started his | letter with the statement that “T | Am addressing you with reference to | ,& matter which may cast serious |reflection upon the reputation of| thé institution you serve as Presi- dent.” He went on to say that “the | freight rates about which (Dr. Burd) so readily testified were computed not hy Mr. Burd at all tut by the steamship company which had ‘com- missioned him'" He referred to the Alaska Steamship Company. President Allen replied that Dr. Burd's report on Alaska retail pric- es and their relation to Alaska freight ‘rates was “as objective as the modern science of market re-‘ search makes possible.” Referring to a report of Dr. Burd's i findings published in the Univer- sity Journal, Pacific Northwest In- dustry, Gov. Gruening had said: “In his article . . .Dr. Burd does net indicate that the study on which it was based was bought and paid for a private transportation com-| rp,mv whose cgregiously high rates were under investigation.” \ Dr. Allen saiG proiessors are per- mittea to undertake such side work. He agded that investigation showed that Dr. Burd personally checked retail prices in the survey. He said Dr, Burd “did all the tabulating ex- cept the computation " of freight costs on the individual items, which was done by clerks but checked by him.” Dr. Allen said he had made a thorough investigation of the con- troversy and “my conclusion (is) that the University has in no wise oversiepped the bounds of propriety in its actions.” M SR NAZI SABOTEURS FREE OF PRISON RETURN, GERMANY WASHINGTON, April 26 (®— Ernest P. Burger and George John‘ Dascl. convicted Nazi saboteurs iwho landed from submarines on the least coast in June, 1942, have been freed from prison and allowed to re- turn to Germany. The White House said today that President Truman approved a Jus- tice Department recomxnendatiom for clemency for the two men. They were taken to Germany under Army custody and will be permitted to live in the American cccupation zone under conditions imposed by the! commanding general.

C., April 26— ‘The United States Congress probab- ly will be asked at its present session to pass legislation for construction of a railway to Alaska, it was learn- ed here today. F. O. Hagle, Vice-President and Generhl Manager of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, told dele- gates at the 19th general conference lof the Pacific Northwest Trade As- sociation that President Truman has approved a plan for construction of an Alaska railway. He sald word of Mr, Truman's ap- provel was contained in a letter sent Washington State's Governor Wall- gren. A Seattle engineer has been called to Washington to aid in drafting leg- islation for the rallway, expected to Le a joint U. 8.-Canada defense ef- fort 1t is assumed the plans will include British Columbia’s Pacific | Great Eastern Railway as a link in the project. In another speech, Al Anderson, Executive Secretary of the Alaska Miners' Association, brought up the issue of aboriginal rights in Alaska. He said claims of Alaskan natives threaten to hold up indefinitely planned pulp wood developments and serfously menace the fishing industry. Northwest THas l‘-n Fear that the Pacific northwest may be by-passed by a railroad built to Alaska was expressed here yester~ day by C. B. Lindeman of Seattle, retiring President of the Paeific Northwest Trade Association, Lindeman, publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, said the railroad might parallel the present Alaska Military Highway access to which is from Edmonton, Alta. He made his statement at a meeting of the Trade Association’s Board of Di- rectors. He said that persistent reports (from Washington, D. C, that both American and Canadian military ay- thorities are now thinking in terms of a railroad to Alaska for contin- ental defense, lead him to believe that while there is no immediate certainty of such a railroad there is a distinct possibility of one. Lindeman said the Association should back a line north from Prince along the eriginal United States Army survey. The Seattle publishex appeinted a nominations committee headed by C. B. Welch of Tacoma to submit a slate of offigers today. James Ford of Spokane and Mike Dederer of |Seattle are among the committeg memkbers, Dillis G.
