THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXVIIL, NO. 10,890 JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, MAY 17, 1948 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS == More Violence Flares In Nation’s Strike Scene HUNT FOR SAILORTO CONTINUE One Persb?killed, An-| other Injured During Search for Seaman Two days of intensive searching | has so far failed to bring results|in in the hunt for 20-year-old Ralph | Earl Mott, Seaman from the US.S. Astoria, although clues have been| discovered which may lead to his| eventual discovery. The search, which has covered a large ared of Mount Juneau, has been responsible for a considerable upset in the routine of the com- munity, and is believed to heve caused one person’s death and ser- jous injury ‘to another. In addi- tion to the scores of volunteers who actually took part in the hunt for the missing man, many Ju- neauites lined the Basin Road and other points, with good visibility, in order to view the searchers’ pro- | gress. Six searching parties combed the mountain on Saturday without lo- cating the missing sailor. One party consisting of Larry Zach, Joe Werner and Anthony Thom- as, reported that they had defin- itely established Mott's trail par- tially down the mountain's side toward Gold Creek, but because of darkness and the vast ruggedness of the area they were unable to complete their search. Sunday, three parties attempted to make a detailed search of the suspected area for the Mabaffey, | Pennsylvania lad, but snow and fog forced ome parey back I:om‘ the top of the mountain, and the| other two groups were unable to] find him during the daylight hours. | William Hixson, who has been | placed in charge of the search by Mayor W. E. Hendrickson, said that he is sure that Mott is in a| half-mile wide ~area about 2500, feet up the mountain, and may| have been caught by a slide or| fallen into deep snows. There have been several recent slides.in that} area, it was reported. Will Take Week It was estimated that it would take at least a week to scour ev- ery foot of the area because of the ruggedness of the terrain. At- tempts were to be made today to take aerial photographs of the area, which will be enlarged and studied for possible clues. Hixson explained that the diffi- cult terrain prohibits any, but the most experienced mountaineers, | from entering the suspected area.| i 1 (Continued on Pnge Eight) The Washlngton Merry - Go - Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1948, D!; ’l"he Bell Syndicp’s, c. ASHINGTON—U. S. defense chiefs haven't said so publicly, but one reason they have been so en- ergetic in urging heavy rearma- ment is the fear of another Pearl Harbor. Vividly remembering how General Marshall was out horse- back riding the morning of Pearl Harbor, they don't want to' be caught again. This is understandable. However, there is another kind of Pearl Harbor which may hit the USA at this time. And U. S. de- fense chiefs will be just as guilty of neglect if they are caught nap- ping. The most important, neglected chapter of war-prevention today is psychological warfare. You can call! this propaganda, softening-the-en- emy-for-the-rear, or just plain winning friends.” But the real fact is that this job of selling ideas, of making the peoplé of another country believe in you, of winning the Russian people. over to the ! USA, has become almost the most important phase of modern peace and modern warfare, Actually is boils down to the art| of making it difficult for the 14 men in the Kremlin to declare war by persuading the Russian people that they themselves don't want war.

Hatch, District Tratfic Manager for the line, said the new schedules will go into effect June 7 if given CAB approval. “The Alaska markel is wide open for foodstuffs,” Hatch said. “Alaska produces much less than ‘it con- sumes.

Hatch said Northwest is plan- ning to reduce costs of shipping a number of other commodities to'Alaska if the new schedules are approved. > H GOVI.

T. A. Johnstone, acting director jof the United Auto Workers' GM . department, said there is a ‘‘very good possibility” of a walkout. The threat was the latest move in an industry-wide campaign for high- er pay. 2 One major automobile manufact- urer, however, countered the drive with a proposal which would, in effect, cut wages. The proposal, by the Ford Motor Company, was the first of its kind in' the motor car industry. The CIO United Auto Workers answer-* ed it with a crisp rejection and a hint that the company’s 107~ 000 production workers might join Chrysler's 75,000 strikers. Meanwhile, Gov.

At the same time, the company turned down union demands for a wage raise of 30 cents an hour. The Ford wage scale, at $1.53 an hour, is about 10 cents higher than those at Chrysler and Oeneral Motors. In extending marital law to Al- bert Lea, Minn, where about 1,000 packinghouse workers are on strike, Gov. Youngdahl said that unless the wage dispute is settled prompt- ly, he would be “forced to consider other measures in the public in- terest.” He already had Natiohal Guardsmen on duty in South St. Paul.
