THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE - VOL. LXXIIL, NO. 11,217 Bridges Ar LABOR BILL UNDER DEBATE IN SENATE; LEWIS HURTS CAUSE By JACK RUTLEDGE WASHINGTON, June 9. —P— Democratic Senators trying to pushl through the Administration’s labor kbill said today their cause has been seriously hurt by the mine shut- down ordered by John L. Lewis. Nevertheless, Senate debate con- tinued on the labor program. The Administration wants to repeal the; Taft-Hartley Act and replace it with one easier on unions. A sub-; stitute offered by opponents would retain most of the T-H provisions. One provision the Administra- tion—and labor—went to get rid of permits court orders to halt strikes threatening national welfare. Opposition to ending such controls has been stiff, even among loyal! Democrats. But some Senators say that yes- terday’s action by Lewis, calling his men out of the coal pits for a week, would focus attention on the need of government controls. ' One Administration lawmaker said: “I'm really bitter about this. It coudn’'t have happened at a worse time.” Thousands Greet King On Birthday . LONDON, June 9—(®—More than 100,000 persons jammed Central |London today to hail their King| might take any action in the coal on his official 53rd birthday with| a revival of prewar pomp and mili- tary splendor. Under dark skies the colorful, traditional trooping of the colors| was staged for the first time since| 1939, One thousand Boi-bies controlled | the crowds, eager for their first chance to greet King George VI since his illness. They massed 30 and 40 deep from: Buckingham Palace along the Mall to the parade ground be- hind Whitehall, quarter. The King's birthday was Dec. 14, but the nation celebrates it offi- cially on June 9, because June weather is better suited to such a celebration. Those who favor the Taft-Hartley Act which provides curbs against some strikes, or its GOP-sponsored substitute, figure Lewis' action has strengthened their position all along the line. Lewis himself is strongly against; the T-H Act, and has demanded its repeal. USS BAGADUCE HERE ENROUTE T0 KODIAK The USS Bagaduce ATA 194 docked last night at 8:40 o'clock at the City Dcck from Seattle and is headed for a year’s duty at Kodiak. | The tug is under the command of Lt. John J. Pratt and will be here until June 15. If the Territorial Health Department’s barge has ar- rived at that time, the barge will be towed to the mouth of the Yu-| kon River for summer duty. ¥ Lt. Pratt has a number of years; of submarine duty and was on one of the last submarines away from Corregidor at the beginning of the last war., He has been awarded several decorations and among them are two bronze stars and a Presi- dential Army citation. Lt. Pratt's| duty while in the submarine ser- vice was plotting officer. He has 24 years Navy duty.

The Washington Merry- Go-Round By DREW PEARSON ICopyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON — The dramatic, day-long caucus ofy Senate Demo- crats to thresh out their labor dif- ferences showed up some of the basic cleavages in the Democratic Party. Senators closed down the Senate, crowded ‘into their stuffy conference room, pulled all doors shut behind them, and let down their hair for eight hectic hours. They ‘came out better educated but just as. widely split over re- placing the Taft-Hartley law. Only the low rumble of voices| leaked through the thick, wooden doors. But here are the high- lights of that important meeting. Hottest issue was whether to authorize the President to seize plants. and keep strikers working in industries affecting the na- tional welfare.

WITNESSES HEARD ‘ IN FORGERY -CASE | AGAINST JACKSON Harry Ojala Jackson, on trial for | forgery and uttering a forged doc- ument, took the witness stand this morning in his own defense. He denied the evidence of Jimmy DeMers, who had testified for the prosecution that he had cashed the check in question for Jackson at the Baranof Bar. The check was endorsed with the name of Maurice Tonsgaard, who brought the origin- al complaint filed in the U. S. Commissioner’s office. Tonsgaard testified yesterday af- ternoon, and was recalled today for further cross examination by De- fense Counsel Albert White. U. 8. Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr., yesterday called Deputy Marshal Hellan and Mrs. Maxine Marsh of Seattle as witnesses for the prose- cution. Mrs. Marsh, an employee of Bogle, Bogle and Gates, Seattle law firm, testified that she wrote and mailed a workmen’s compensation check under the Alaska Industrial Act, to Tonsgaard, in connection with his work as a longshoreman for Northland ’I‘ranspomuan Com- pany. Jackson’s stepson, Pvt. Wilbur (Buster) Elstead, was on the stand briefly today as a government wit- ness. The case was expected to go to the jury this afternoon. Tomorrow will be motion day in District Court. Jurors will report Monday morn- ing at 10 o'clock, when the case of the United States vs. Wallace T. Rutherford is scheduled. For many years, sclentists have been trying to find the nesting grounds of the almost extinct whooping crane in Canada. WrtrEh ‘meet “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1949 CHAMBER ARGUES TOWN'S AID ON HOUSING PROJECT A discussion of the extent of the City of Juneau's cooperation with planners of a housing project at West Juneau kept Chamber of Commerce members overtime this nocn. Kenneth Kadow, chairman of the Alaska Field Committee, touched off the debate in a report on efforts to provide housing for Juneau, Kadow told the Chamber that two prd:lems were bottlenecking the go-ahead on the 100-apartment uvnit development, namely, fire protection and public utilities. The Bayview Apartment Housing Company, project planners, have asked for the City of Juneau's assistance in meeting these two problems. Fire protection and utility service must be provided to Federal Housing Authority regulations under which the project will be developed, Kadow said. Although the City Council has!| replied to a letter from the Bay- view Apartment Housing Company assuring cooperation “in any way the city may lawfully do so," Kadow indicated that commitments by the city -were not adequate to meet FHA or Federal and Nation Mortgage Association requireme; CITY OFFICIALS SPEAK Mayor Waino Hendrickson and | City Attorney Howard Stabler both tock the floor to explain that, while the City Council is anxiousi to cooperate in every way possible to assist the company in building | their project, they felt that the | best interests of the citizens of Ju- neau must be considered first. Stabler asked for a conierence of the city’s attorneys with Kadow to study the problem before the city makes any definite move. He expressed the view that Juneau' citizens should not fze held respon-| sible for developments outside the city limits. unaSpawning PlacelsLocated For First Time MANILA, June 9—IP—Scientists at last have found a place in the Pacific where tuna fish hatched. It is in the Celebes Sea and ad- Jacent waters south of the Philip- pines. The discovery was made by Oharles B. Wade of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ‘Wade identified larvae as small ag one-sixth of an inch long as tuna. They were the yellowfin and skipjack species. Similar larvae were found in the Mediterranean in 1924 but never before in the Pacific, Wade said. Although tuna are caught all across the Pacific from California to the China coast their spawning areas never have been exactly located. FBIHAD PIPELINE INTO RUSS EMBASSY “IS HINT REVEALED (By The Associated Press) A hint that the FBI ran an in- formation pipeline into the Russian Embassry was given today to the jury trying Judith Coplon on es- plonage charges in Washington. It came during the reading by Miss Coplon’s lawyer of the second heretofore secret FBI report brought into the open by insistent defense demands. This long and detailed document, based on data.{rom nearly a score of “confidential informants,” includ- ed the text of an application filed by one Lecna Saron for a job on the Soviet information bulletin. The information bulletin is pub- Pessibilities of incorporation of the new area -into the city were| discussed. Kadow indicated that n1 statement of intent for incorpora-x ition of West Juneau within the| limits would make possible the ob-l taining of a loan from Federal Na-| tional Mortgage Association for| utility construction. Funds for pro- viding utilities are not available under FHA, Kadow - said. | The consensus appeared to be that the problem of fire protecuun{ for the new apartment units could | be met by the city. With time running out, the dis- cussion ended with uting~chnlr- man Joe McLean instructing me‘ housing committee, headed by Dx'," Clayton Polley, to meet with in-| terested parties for further talks. Tom Dyer, Chamber’s Aviation Committee Chairman, made his final report on the building of the| new Municipal Airport Terminal, announcing the grand -opening ceremonies Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rolcert Cowling, reporting on the Capital-to-Capital Yacht Race, told members that 40 boats are| scheduled to make the final lap of the July race from Prince Ru- pert to Juneau and will put in here July 16 shortly after noon. PROTEST LEMKE BILL Answering an inquiry by R. E.| Robertson regarding Chamber ac-| tion in protesting the revised Lemke Bill for veteran homestead- ing in Alaska, Herb Rowland, sec- retary, reported that the Chamber has made known it's sentiments or the subject in various methods, with the most recent action being 2 wire to Gov. Gruening and Dele- gate E. L. Bartlett asking for their appearance at a Kouse committee hearing. Norman Banfield also explained the present status of the land leglslation, adding that as an offi- cer' of the Territorial American Legion he had recently sent a com- n:unication to Washington asking that Senate Bill 533 and HR. 4244 receive no further consideration until following the American Le- gion convention at Mt. McKinley Park, June 16-19, TO HONOR OFFICERS Acting-Chairman Joe ; McLean announced that the Chamber would be hosts to the officers of the CPR vessel Princess Kathleen cn her first docking in Juneau port June 18. Guests at the meeting were C. L Anderson, director of Fisheries Board, Donald Clark, new adver- tising man for ‘the Daily Alaska. Empire and Arthur O. F. Bauer. lished by the Russian Embassy here. So voluminous were the reports read to the jury that trial observers speculated much of the informa- tion must have come from within the Embassy itself. Yesterday Miss Coplon’s defense diverted attention from the direct issue of the espionage trial with a report that named Frederic Marsh and other Hollywood headliners as| Communists. ‘The Hollywood file—also quoting unnamed secret informers and without any clue as to how much of it the FBI believes—drew ridi- | cule and condemnation from March and others named. Miss Coplon, a former Justice De- partment political analyst, is ac- cused of filching secrets for the benefit of Russia. VETERANS' BOARD MEETS- TOMORROW| Expecting to complete their work in one day, members of the Alaska World War II Veteran’s Board will meet tomorrow morning in the Sen- ate Chambers for a special session. ‘The meeting is to acquaint board members with results of a special audit of the Veterans' Affairs Com- mission for the period during which | Norman Haley was commissioner. While this audit was under way before that of general Territorial accounts was begun, it will be in- corporated with the one for the whole Territery, which will be pub- lished on completion. It was made by two members o! the Arthur Andefsen Company, the same Seattle accounting firm now making the comprehensive audit. According to Commissioner Floyd Guertin, all members plan to attend except L. Embert Demmert of Craig who is out fishing. Other members are John Hellen- thal of Anchoragesghairman; May- or Robert Ellis of Ketchikan; Paul M. Solka, Fairbanks newspaperman, and Roland H. Brousseau of Nome, who was appointed to replace John Cross of Kotzebue, representing the | Second Division.

If they do not conclude then, the Big Four Foreign Ministets would step in, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.

It is part of the bargaining between Russia and the West in lan effort to reach an economic and political agreement on Berlin |and all Germany, The “Little Blockade” is a stop- rage of rail service. The Russians blame the stoppage on a strike of West Berlin workers who want pay- ment in West Marks worth about four times the value of East Marks. ‘Western. authorities have suggested the Russians settle the strike by ordering the Soviet-con- | trolled railway to meet the work- | ers’ demand. The West has a bargaining club.

The 1949 report of the California | Un-American Activities Committee, Leaded by Senator Jack Tenney (R-Los Angeles) yesterday listed hundreds of persans as Communist appeasers or followers. Many of these are well known in| the movie world. “Trqy have censpicuously fol- lowed or appeased some of the Communist party line program over a period of time,” the report said. It listed CIO Longzshore leader Harry Bridges and Hugh Bryson, head of the Independent Progres- sive Party and head of the CIO Marine Ccoks and Stewards, as Communists. Both repeatedly have denie4 they are Communists. Bridges currenuy faces a gov- | ernment charge of perjury—of ly- ing when he said at his 1945 naturalization hearing that he had }nevcr been a Communist, MANY ARE NAMED Among those listed as followers ot the Communist line were: Larry Adler, Pearl 8.

Sinatra called the report “the product of liars.” Those who denled allegations ot Communist sympathy included Gregory Peck and Gene Kelly. Actress Katharine Hepburn refused to “dignify” the accusption with a reply. i PASA 1S SEEKING NATL, AGREEMENT, MARINE ENGINEERS SAN FRANCISCO, June 9—(@— | The Pacific American Shipowners Association wants a two-coast agreement with the CIO Marine Engineers. J. B. Bryan, President of PASA, sald a negotiating committee would fly to New York in an at- tempt to achieve such an agree- ment. Bryan said having two different contracts, with different termina- tion dates, with the same union on two coasts didn't make sense. “We are eliminating 3,000 miles between the parties and will seek immediate negotiations on a na- tional scale,” he declared. Bryan will head the PASA committee. Negotiations have been going on here since April 18. STEAMER MOVEMENTS Princess Norah fromi Vancouver scheduled to arrive Saturday after- non or evening.

He did not enter a plea. Neither did J. R. Robertson, one of two other Longshore officials indicted with Bridges on charges of alding in the alleged conspiracy. Bridges was indicted by a Fed- cral Grand Jury May 25. He was accused of lying when he testified at ‘his 1945 naturalization hearing that he was not then and never had been a Communist. June 16 was fixed as the date for arraignment of Henry Schmidt, another top official in the Inter- national Longshoremen's and Warehousemen’s union. Schmidt, now helping direct the longshore strike in Hawail, also was indicted on a conspiracy charge. It is expected that Bridges and Robertson will be brought before the court to enter pleas when Echmidt is arraigned. Attorney Herbert Resner tried unsuccessfully to get an eight- week continuance of - Bridges’ and Robertson's arraignment. He told Judge Michael J. Roche there would be many motions, that he would seek a bill of particulars, possibly challenge the jurisdiction of the court and attack the activi- tes ‘ot - the - Qramt-Jury-which {turned the indiotment -against the three longshore leaders. “The government has taken two to three years to prepare this case. We are asking only two months to meet the charges.” Resner sald. ¢ Resner argued further that Richard Gladstein, Bridges' choice for defense attorney, was involved in a long trial in New York and could not come here before August. F. Joseph Donohue, Special Assistant United States Attorney, said there was no certainty Glad- stein would be availatle in two months. He argued there would be plenty of time for the defense to file its motions after the arraign- ment. The Grand Jury ended its inves- tigation into other phases of the case late yesterday. It returned no more indictments. Special Assistant Attorney Gen- eral F. Joseph Donohue said the inquiry had revealed “substantial” Communist infiltration into West- ern labor unions. “Any such in- filtration is most alarming,” he said. Three Officials of Czech Consulate In Chicago Quit CHICAGO, June 9— (#— Three officlals of the Czechoslovakian Consulate General in Chicago have resigned their nation’s diplomatic service. ‘They are Consul Leopold Riedl, Secretary Miroslav Mejzr and Chancellor Josef Nemeck.
