. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXIIL, NO. 11,262 CLARK-McGRATH APPOINTMENTS 60 TO SENATE ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—®—The double appointment moving Attor- ney General Tom Clark to the Supreme Court and *Senator J. Howard McGrath (D-RI) into the Justice Department seemed today to have a clear path to Senate approval. : President Truman sent his form- al nominations of the two merP to the Senate today, after receiving word they would accept the posts. But the backwash may produce conflicting bids by Senator Sten- nis (D-Miss) and Senator Kerr (D- Okla) for a coveted place on the Senate’s tax handling Finance Committee. Stennis is a states rights supporter; Kerr an Admin- istration backer. McGrath’s acceptance yesterday of President Truman's offer of the Attorney Generalship cleared the way for the official action by President Truman to nominate both him and Clark. Clark’s acceptance of the Su- preme Court appointment, to fill the place vacated by the death of Associate Justice Frank Murphy, had beent a foregone concldsion. McGrath’s decision to take the Cabinet post was announced at the White House after the Rhode Island Senator had consulted with| his home folk about his Senate successor.

The number of polio deaths for the first seven months of 1949 an Associated Press survey showed is about double the total up to August 1, 1948, The survey showed approximate- ly 8,000 cases and 442 deaths, How- ever, data on fatalities was sketchy and incomplete in some states on the number of cases. Many communities, fearing epi- demics in the heavy polio months of August and September, already have taken emergency measures.

Increases in the number of cases over last week’s figures were re- ported in New York, Illinois, In- diana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Members said the survey may result in extension of fishing opera- tions northward in the Bering Sea. but that further exploration is needed to determine whether cod and sole are available in commer- cial quantities. The Washington Merry - Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1049, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) WASHINGTO — Those who have long watched the Washington run-around feel that South Dako- ta's Senator; Karl Mundt has come up with the best proposal yet to avoid inside lobbying and help the little business man. Mundt, who knows his Washington well, propos- ed to establish a government infor- mation bureau to give businessmen all data regarding government contracts. It properly organized, this could be a great koon to all business. The average firm cannot afford to em- ploy a special representative to sit in Washington, therefor loses out to big firms that do. General Motors long has operated one of the most efficient offices in Washington, entertains Army- Navy officers, knows pretty much what the government: is buying. Studebaker, Douglas Aircraft, Pan American Airways, TWA, and many other big firms have done the same. Furthermore, they deduct their costs from income taxes, so Uncle Sam ‘foots much of the bill. That's why the average business firm is left out in the cold, part- ly why only six American firms got 60 per cent of the government’s war contracts. Senator Mundt, realizing this, has proposed an information bureau which could usher in a new era for little business. MAKING OF AN ATTORNEY GENERAL Small incidents in the lives of men sometimes become turning points in history. One incident that turned the life of Sen. J. Howard McGrath, newly designated Attorney General, was a torchlight parade in Rhode Island 20 years ago. The parade was staged by Harry Storin of Keith’s Theatre in hon- or of actor Eddie Dowling, a na- tive son who was returning to Rhode Island to play “Honeymoon Lane.” Young McGrath, a budding (Continued on Page Four) AIR COMMANDERS VISIT TERRITORY FOR INSPECTION ANCHORAGE, Aug. 2—®—Two giant B-36 bombers bearing top brass of the 8th Air Force have arrived in Alaska after non-stop ! flights from Fort Worth, Tex.

HAWAIIANS TAKE FIRST STEP TO DEFEAT STRIKE Territorial House Passes Bill Putting Government in Stevedoring Business HONOLULU, Aug. 2—(P—Ha- wail’s House of Representatives last night voted to put the Terri- tory in the stevedoring business until the end of the dock strike— a move one legislator warned might mean - bloodshed. The bill goes to the Senate im- mediately. One proponent predicted it would pass the upper house by tomorrow. The House vote was 24 to 6. Under the House bill the Terri- torial Government ' would be pro- hibited from hiring striking CIO International Longshoremen and Warehousemen. Neither would em- ployees of the seven struck island stevedoring firms be employed. But the Territorial government would be permitted to rent steve- ‘dormg equipment from the struck The 27,680 polio cases report,ed‘ firms. The 94-day old strike has brought about a tense situation. The islands are dependent on shipping for most of their essentials. The strikers are demanding a 32-cent increase to their pre-strike $1.40 hourly wage. Minority spokesmen in the legis- lature protested the Territory should be given powers to seize stevedoring property to operate effi- ciently. Gov. Ingram M. Stainback, who called the special session of the legislature last week, asked Satur- day for the right to use trained dock workers to meet the emer- gency. He called a ban on them “vindictive.” But the House last night ignored his plea. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—®-— San Francisco had a foreboding of waterfront labor trouble today in | connection with. -the lengthy Hon- olulu strike. Two striking CIO longshoremen arrived by air from the islands last night to “survey the situation,” as the union put it, in regard to the Matson Navigation Company’s de- cision to load cargo for the islands, strike or no strike. One member of the Internation- al Longshoremen’s and Warehouse- men’s Union delegation on hand to meet the two said they were an “advance guard,” and added: “Hawaliian longshoremen are prepared to 8end as many as 2,000 pickets if they are needed.” Matson declared it would load, pickgts or no. The Matson ship intended for use is the Hawalian Refiner, due tomorrow from Hawali after a union sanctioned relief voyage. U.5. NOTE REJECTS PROTEST Russian Charges Labeled “Uttterly Without Foundation” F WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—M—The United States today emphatically rejected a Russian protest against Italy’s membership in the North Atlantic Defense Pact. Secretary Acheson termed the charges “utterly without founda- tion” in a note delivered to the Russian Embassy shortly before noon. “The text of the treaty itself is the best answer to such misrep- resentations and allegations,” the American reply said. The Soviet government had charged that Italy violated its peace treaty by joining in the 12- nation defense treaty last April. Acheson had denounced the Rus- sian ¢harges at his news confer- ence last Wednesday, foreshadow- ing today'’s formal rejection of Russia’s latest accusations.

He spoke out as W. Averell Harri- man, the Marshall’s Plan’s roving ambassador in Europe, urged the House Foreign Affairs committee to approve the arms program. He said it is needed promptly to ‘“protect the growing generation from war.” Harriman made the appeal in testimony before the House For- eign Affairs Committee. As he testified Secretary of State Dean Acheson went into a huddle behind closed doors with members- of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. This combined group is expected to open hearings soon—perhaps to- morrow—on the arms aid program. Harriman told the House com- mittee that “I earnestly believe we are winning the struggle for peace and freedom in Europe.” But he emphasized any delay in shipping arms to America’s Europ- | ean allies would creat doubts which might reverse this trend. “The voices of the subversive ele- ments, the appeasers, those who would trust ‘neutrality’ would rise again and have an effect on the confidence and determination which Inow exists,” he said. Harriman, who was once the American Ambassador to Moscow, added: “I believe that it is our duty to make the present sacrifices. which may be necessary to protect the growing generation from war.” The Ambassador spoke out as Democrats joined with Republicans on the committee in calling for more details on President Truman's request for approval of a $1,400,000,- tions arm against Soviet aggressio: MYSTERY: WHO SAVED FOUR LIVES FROM ICY WATERS Four grateful persons who spent a harrowing half-hour or more in the icy waters of Gastineau Chan- inel shortly before midnight last night are looking for their rescuers. They were so chilled and shock- ed from the experience that they neglected to learn the identity of the two men who saved them. “I do hope they will make them- selves known,” said Mr. and Mrs. Lars Sorensen this morning. They, with Sorensen’s son, Louis, and his friend, Pvt. Bill Anderson, were returning from a fishing trip to Turner Lake when, a few.min- utes before 11 p. m., the 18-foot craft struck a big deadhead out in the bay, about even with the City Dock. The small outboard-motored boat was partially submerged in less than a minute, according to Ander- son, who said it turned over sev- eral times. 9 He kept Mrs. Sorensen afloat while clinging to the slipppery log they had hit. Lars and Louis man- aged to hang on to the capsized boat. While keeping themselves afloat, all screamed for help an estimated 15 minutes. A sailor on the Coast Guard cutter Storis heard the cries ‘and the big searchlight was soon sweep- ing the bay. Lt. Arthur I. Roberts, executive officer of the Storis, said today that it took some time to pick up the bobbing heads in the dark waters. ‘When the light did pick up the distressed group, . a small dory, about 12 or 14 feet long, was res- cuing them. Anderson thought the dinghy had put out from the Union Oil Company dock. The four climbed into the boat and were taken to the Storis. “They were too exhausted to climb up the Jacob's ladder,” said Lieuten- ant Roberts, “so they were directed to a barge tied up at the stern.” Mrs. Sorensen, who was suffering severely from exposure and shock, She was able to go home about 9 o'clock this morning. All four were badly shaken up (Continued on Page 6) from tomorrow until Monday on| Chairman Connally (D-Tex) said| 000 program to help friendly na<] was taken to St. Ann’s Hospital.|. Communists Make Large China Gains ‘American HnBassador to China Is Enroute to United States (By The Associated Press) Communist armies in China spearheaded southward on three fronts today. Nationalists admit- ted Red gains in Hunan, Kiangsi and Kansu Provinces. In Hunan, the rice bowl province, Communists are 313 miles north of Canton, Nationalist provisional capital the Communists say they expect to capture by August 15. The Communists have outflanked the main Nationalist defense force in’ Hunan and again have cut the Canton-Hankow railway. In Kansu Province, the Communists threat- ened vast northwestern China, rul- ed by Moslem warlords. Hong Kong, the British Crown Colony, prepared a rousing welcome for the battered little sloop Ame- i thyst which escaped down the Yangtze River Saturday under Communist gunfire. The Amethyst had been pinned down 60 miles below Nanking since April 20. | Chiang To Korea A Chinese Nationalist source in Seoul, capital of non-Communist | Korea, said Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is expected to arrive there tomorrow to discuss a proposed Pacific pact with President Syng- man Rhee. Chiang made a similar call on the President of the Philip- pines recently. The American Embassy at Can- ton said today Ambassador J. Leighton Stuart, en route to Wash- ington by air, had reached Okin- awa. The U. 8. Ambassador took off from Communist Nanking early lthis morning half an hour before an air raid alarm was sounded. (The dispatch did not further men- tion the air raid.) Stuart has been called to Wash- ington for conference that well may have a bearing on the future American policy in the Crient. Jets To Germany g John J. McCloy, U. S. Military Governor in Germany, took off in a plane for Washington today for talks with American officials. Mec- Cloy is seeking a man for the post of Economics Director n Germany. The U. 8. Joint Chiefs of Staff disclosed at Grafenwohr, Germany, today that jet fighters will replace all standard types of planes in Germany. They witnessed a review of American forces and expressed the opinion that American troops in Germany are ready for any emergency. 7 The heads of the Army, Navy and Airforce are making a 10-day study of Western Europe's de- fenses to work out a unified plan to integrate . American military power with the fighting strength of the 11 other North Atlantic treaty participants. NENANA FACES FLOOD THREAT ~ AS RIVER UPS FAIRBANKS, Aug. 2.—(®— The city's Red Cross facilities were | held ready for possible emergency use today as the rapidly rising Tanana River pointed a new and stronger threat at Nenana. The small central Alaska com- munity (pop. 300) lies approximate- ly 50 miles west of Fairbanks. Rivermen reported the raging river was coursing through its banks at its fastest pace in a quarter century. Already it has covered several hundred feet of Al- aska Rallroad track, flooded most of the community’s gardens and threatened to rip out several docks. The town’s water gauge was washed away, but George Gale, railroad agent, estimated the flood- ing river was about two feet un- der the peak reached last year when floods were the worst in Ne- nana’s 33-year history. - Railroad erews stood by between Mile 46 and Mile 48 to guard the tracks and bridges in anticipation of . overflow from - Lake George, famous self-emptying lake which it is feared will break momentarily. Water was being brought in from Healy by rail. The Alaska Road Commission at Anchorage urged motorists to stay off the Tok Cutoff to speed repair work. Passenger cars are being towed through, but the cutoff 's closed to loaded trucks. 4 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS DISABILITY MONEYFOR VETS UPPED House Votes Increase in| Compensation Money | fo All War Veterans | WASHINGTON, Aug. 2- M’L—Al\‘ annual increase of $112,000,000 in! veterans pensions and disability | payments was voted today by the House.
