THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL LXXIV., NO. 11,462 JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1950 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS 'Senate Com. Sets Date for Statehood Hearing NODECISION, HIGH COURT, HIRING HALL WASHINGTON, March 27—(#— The Supreme Court refused today for a second time to rule on the legality of union hiring halls’ for scamen, thereby raising the threat of an eventual maritime strike on all coasts. The effect of the tribunal’s ac- tion was to uphold again a lower court decison that the hiring halls ' are illegal—at least in the case of Great Lakes seamen. Barring Congressional action, both government labor experts and mari- time union officials have said that more than 100,000 seagoing workers may strike over the issue. No date for a walkout has been mentioned, however. Bills to remove any doubt as to the legality of the hiring halls are pending in Congress. Whether they will become law remains to be seen. The hiring halls, as the term im- | plies, provide a central place for shipowners to obtain crews for their vessels. The strike threat arose this way: Last August 5, the U.S. Circuit Court in New York ruled that hiring halls for Great Lakes seamen Vvio-| late the closed shop ban of the « Taft-Hartley act. Under the closed shop only union members may be hired. The circuit court, noting this, said non-union seamen might be + discriminated against under the hiring hall system. The CIO National Maritime Union appealed the decision to the Su- preme Court. On February 13, the high tri- bunal announced simply that it would not consider the appeal. That left the New York court'’s ruling intact. The union at once asked the Su- preme Court to reconsider. Union * officials proclaimed publicly that if the decision were left to stand the seamen would be forced to strike in an effort to preserve their hiring arrangements. DISABLED BOAT TOWED T0 JUNEAU BY CUTTER A disabled fishing vessel was tow- ed into Juneau this morning by the Coast Guard cutter White Holly. It had been sighted by the White ¢ Holly at the south end of Gastin- eau Channel shortly after the cut- ter departed from Juneau enroute to Sentinel Island. The disabled vessel was the 34-foot Bear owned by Frank Brady of Juneau, who was bringing his craft from Wran- gell. It was towed to the City float here, arriving at 7:30 a.m. The Washingion Merry - Go-Round iCopyrieht. 1980, by Bell Syndicate, Ine.) Bv DREW PEARbON 'ASHINGTON — A deluge of mail has poured into this office lately outlining ideas on how to win the peace. This mail high- B lights one of the most important problems faced by government— so far largely neglected—how to mobilize the energy of millions of Americans behind the prosaic goal of peace. It is easy to mobilize during war. There is an urgency, a drama, & danger behind war. But peace is humdrum. It is easy to sit back, pay taxes, let the diplomats wrangle about peace. Then, when they fail, as they have of late, the rest of us go back to fight all over again.| Of late, however, large numbers of the American people are getting vigorous in their demand that they be allowed to play some part in moulding the peace. They realize « that peace is like the soil a little erodes here and a little erodes there, until the international pas- tures are all gulleyed up and war is inevitable. It's when the first small gulley starts eroding that you have to begin patching up’ both your pas- tures and the peace. Realizing this, the American pub- lic would like to help a little bit more in preventing wars rather than merely fighting to win wars after they have started. The prob- lem of the government is to take advantage of this vast goodwill and boundless energy.

Roosevelt LAKE SUCCESS, March 27—(®— Russia walked out of the United Nations Human Rights Commis- sion today after making a harsh verbal attack on the Commission Chairman, Mrs, Franklin D. Roose- velt. The Soviet Delegate, Semyon K. Tsarapkin, accused Mrs, Roosevelt of continuing what he called ef- forts of the “United States to use the United Nations for its own pol- itical purposes.” Mrs. Roosevelt banged the gavel repeatedly and said angrily: “We are now preceeding to the clection of officers. We are not listening to any more propaganda speeches.” Tsarapkin was permitted to finish his speech, however, ing it was not propaganda. Mrs. Roosevelt was reelected to her fifth term as chairman by acclamation. P. C. Chang, delegate of Nationalist China, was elected first vice president, The Soviet delegate made his attack on Mrs. Roosevelt and the United States after the 18-nation commission upheld her ruling that a Soviet resolution to oust the Chinese Nationalist delegation was out of order, This the 16th UN organ boycotted by the Russians since Jan. 10, on the Nationalist Chin- ese question. 6 COUNTING TRAPS TO STUDY PINKS T0 G0 INTO OPERATION ‘The program recently announced by the Fish and Wildlife Service to concentrate biological studies this year on pink salmon habits will get under way soon, with building o1 two additional downstream count- ing traps planned for this area. Six downstream counters will be installed, to be under supervision of Mitchell Hanavan, fishery research biologist, who arrived in Juneau to- day to begin the season’s work. The two new traps will be in and Humpback Creek, near Port Fred- erick. Others which were in opera- tion last year were at Herman Creek in Behm Canal; Katlian Bay, near | Sitka; Old Tom Creek, near Wran- gell and the regular operation at Little Port Walter. The traps will enable observers to tell the abundance of fry com- ing seaward after the fishing traps have taken their toll for the in- dustry. The study was begun last year, and with completion of this season, a comparison may be made on how the pinks are doing. At several of the traps the fis! will be marked—their fins clipped— for other studies. The devices arc not complete weirs, Hanavan ex- plained, with the exception of the one at Little Port Walter.

Mc(arlhy commie nvauiRy To Fall Flal On His Face’ Owen LaNim—ore, Termed I Russia’s Key fo Spy, Calls Charges "Moonshine’ By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON, March 27—#-- Owen Lattimore derided today as “pure moonshine” Senator McCar- thy's charges that he is Russia’s top spy in the State Department and the United States. Lattimore, an expert on Far Eastern Affairs, cabled the Asso- cianted Press from Afghanistan where he is on a United Nations mission. He said he would be home in a few days and promised to answer the charges in detail then. McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican, had described Lattimore' privately to newsmen as “the man—connected with the Sthte Department—whom I consider the top Russian espionage agent in this country.” This infor- mation was made public last night in a radio broadcast. McCarthy declined to comment on Lattimore’s reply. He told a reporter he might have something to say “on the general situation” later. Lattimore replying to a request for comment from the Associated Press last Friday, sald in his cable: “will Fall Flat” “McCarthy's off record rantings pure moonshine. Delighted his whole case rests on me as this means he will fall flat on face stop exactly what he has said on record unkunown here so cannot reply in detail but will be home in few days and will contact you then.” In other developments stemming from McCarthy's charges: 1. Mrs, Esther Caukin Brunauer, $9,706-a-year State Department of- ficial, went before a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee and denied that she or her husband, Dr. Step- hen Brunauer, is pro-Communisb. She said that on the contrary both are strongly anti-Communist. Mc- Carthy had named both Brunauers in detailing to the committee his charges of Communists in the gov- ernment. Dr. Brunauer, a former Navy commander, is now engaged in research on explosives for the Navy. 2. Haldore Hanson, also a State Department official, complained in a letter to Senator Tydings (D-Md), Chairman of the Senate investigat- ing group, that “whisperings of sus- picion and hate” have been raised against him since McCarthy's “false accusation” that he is pro-Com- munist. Hanson said McCarthy had fired his charges “irresponsibly and protected by Senatorial immunity.” “Will Deal With Charges” Mrs. Lattimore, residing in Balti- more, flatly denied McCarthy's public charge—made on March 13—that her husband is pro- Communist. And Dr. Detlev W. Bronk, President of Johns Hopkins University, said then: “I am sure that Professor Latti- more will be quick to deal with these charges on his return to this country.” Lattimore, 49, is director of the Walter Hines Page School of Inter- national Relations at Johns Hop- kins, Last night columnist Drew Pear- son, on his weekly radio broadcast, named Lattimore as the man Mc- | carthy accuses of being the Soviet Union's chief spy in the United States. Pearson added: “T happen to know Owen Latti- more personally—and I only wish this country had more patriots like him,” | MecCarthy’s charge of Communists land fellow travelers in the State Department are being investigated by a Senate Foreign Relations sub- | committee. He has said he is willing to let all of his charges against the | State Department stand or fall on the outcome of the Lattimore case. The committee has been trying to obtain FBI and other government | loyalty files on persons accused by McCarthy, in an effort to judge the accusations. e v e o o . : TIDE TABLE MARCH 28 Low tide 3:10 am., 73 ft.

AVALANCHE STUDY FILM AVAILABLE TO MOUNTAINEERS Of interest to skiiers in the Gas- tineau Channel area, the Forest Service announced today receipt ot a film called “Avalanches to Order"—showing how to make good avalanches out of bad ones. In other words, the film, of 16mm. Kodachrome, demonstrates to those who toil on the mountain slopes during winter months how to know avalanche signs and to avoid those areas in which one is likely to hap- pen. A “good” avalanche, Narrator Lowell Thomas says, is one which has happened at the right time, with no injury to anyone. The film was produced through joint efforts of the Forest Service snow rangers and the National Ski Patrol and Winter Sports Associa- tions, showing their work in ava- lanche study. The film will be available to any group in Juneau or Douglas by con- tacting Harry Sperling, administra- tive officer with the Forest Service, whose office is in Room 404, Fed- eral Building. It will be sent to other Alaskan communities after this week.
