THE DAILY ALASKA “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXV., NO. 11,517 RESHUFFLES PROPOSEDIN TREAS. DEPT. Truman Again Submits Re- organization Plan with Other Issues WASHINGTON, May 31 — (# — President Truman sent Congress today a new Treasury reorganiza- tion plan. It omits a provision to which the Senate objected in turn- ing down a similar reorganization proposal about 10 days ago. The new plan does not contain the controversial recommendation that functions of the Comptroller of the Treasury be placed under di- rection of the Secretary of Trea- sury. 5 The other recommendations ot the original proposal are repeated in the new plan. The President also made a new try today to raise the Federal Se- curity Administration to govern- ment Department-cabinet officer status. He sent to Congress a reorganiza- tion plan which would create a De- partment of Health, Education and Security headed by a secretary v sted with essentially the same duties and authority as are vested in the Federal Security Adminis- trator. Last year, Mr. Truman proposed to put those functions in a new De- partment of Welfare. The Senate voted that down.

WSHINGTON—Neutrnl Japan— One inside reason for Secretary Johnson’s trip to Tokyo is Army and Navy opposition to General MacArthur's idea of making Japan the Switzerland of the Pacific. MacArthiar has been talking much about Japanese neutrality that the Japanese people are be- ginning * to dislike ‘Washington's idea of using Japan as a potential base against Siberia. Diplomatic Boomerang—President Inonu of Turkey is blistering mad at the United States, especially Ambassador George Wadsworth. He allowed Wadsworth to talk him in- to holding new elections to illus- trate Tu Democracy. ' Actu- ally the elections weren’t necessary, but on the ambassador’s advice President Inonu held them. Now his government is defeated, and Ambassador Wadsworth is in the canine woodshed. Sex Probe—One hest of sex un- fortunates, now under investigation by the Senate, has been traced to the Soviet embassy. Police hinted, behind closed Senate doors, Soviet perverts are being used to get acquainted with American un‘l |mnde by the Charles W. Carter|same for the older children at- fortunates.

He appealed to Congress to sup- port such a course, saying Presi- dent Truman, Secretary of Detense Johnson and he agree it must be made to work., Reporting on his recent cold war strategy talks in London, Acheson said the Western nations have reached “another time of decision” in which they must either strengthen their North Atlantic Treaty and Western European part- nerships or risk falling backward into “total failure.” + Defense Now The 12 Atlantic Treaty Foreign Ministers, including himself, Ache- son disclosed, did not say anything at London which indicated “any im- mediate threat of war.” They were concerned rather to meet a Russian threat which “will exist unless we act now to prepare our defenses against aggression.” Acheson spoke in the Library of Congress at a meeting to which all House and Senate members were in- vited. Three radio networks and one television hookup carried his speech to the nation. It was the first time he had made such a public report on a Foreign Minister session or North Atlantic Treaty meeting. Collective Forces The creation of “balanced collec- tive forces” would mean that each of the 12 Atlantic Treaty powers would build troops and arms ac- Jcording ' to the needs of the whole alliance rather than strictly for its own defensive needs. Under this system the United States, officiale say, would spend relatively more on airforce and navy than on army development. “The President has authorized me to say,” Acheson declared, “that he supports Secretary Johnson and me i our view that we must make is principle work, for we can see no cther way to accomplish the job of defense and at the same time to get ahead with the constructive task of building a successfully func- tioning economy in the free world.” Discussing costs, Acheson said that “a very large economic and fi- nancial effort” is needed to meet what he called “a dangerous situa- tion.” SOODWILL PARTY T0 ERECT SIGN POINTING OUT ROAD TO JUNEAU A large roadside sign pointing the way to Juneau will be erected at the junction of the Haines cut- off and the Alaska Highway Satur- day by Juneau Chamber of Com- merce members on a goodwill tour.

Zimmerman, of Albu- querque, New Mexico, is a real sportsman, as well as ideal hus- band, was attested Monday when he and Mrs. Zimmerman returned from a six weeks hunting trip in the Kodiak area and Zimmerman was more proud of his wife's prow- ess as a hunter than his own. Mrs. Zimmerman, who had never shot a gun in her life—bagged a 9 ft. 6 in. Kodiak bear at 45 feet. Zimmerman got his bear, too, but at 133 yards and he had plenty ot time to draw a bead. ‘The couple, hunting ten miles apart on Kodiak Island, was on the ejghth day of their trip. They had sighted 88 bear in that time, but were waiting for “that big one.” Zimmerman saw his at 8:15 p.m., ambling along a mountainside. He drew careful aim and brought the big boy down. Meanwhile, 10 miles away, Mrs. Zimmerman and her guide were walking across a series of shallow inlets toward a bear they had sighted some distance away. Unknown to them the bear was coming in their direction and they came upon it suddenly—at 45 feet. Mrs. Zimmerman raised her gun and fired and down came the trophy. That was just three minutes after her husband shot his. Both were enthused over their trip to the Territory. They came here directly from a trip to Hawail. “I could hardly get my wife away from the Islands,” Zimmerman said, “but now that we've seen Alaska, we're coming back here next year.” They made their hunting trip with Charles Madsen, noted big game guide, aboard his boat Kodiak Bear III Zimmerman also had a close call with a cow moose. They came upon the moose suddenly, with its calf, and the moose charged, ripping the coat of Zimmerman's guide with a front foot and knocking him down a 25-foot cliff. He escaped without injury, out Zimmerman said Carlos Carlson, of the Fish and Wildlife Service in the district, warned that cow moose were especially danger- ous at this time of year. Zimmerman also bagged two fair- sized black bear on the Kenal Peninsula and upon their return to Juneay, said they may hunt black bear in this vicinity before re- turning to Albuquerque. They are guests at the Baranof Hotel. SIX BABIES ARE BORN AT ST. ANK'S OVER HOLIDAY Six babies were born at St. Ann’s hospital over the holiday. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

The site is a triangular plot bounded by South Seward Street,i Marine Way, Shattuck Way, and the Juneau-Young Hardware Company property and includes the land on which the gutted Harri Machine Shop stands. At its special meeting Monday night, the Council passed a moticn t purchase the property, owned by Charles Waynor and J. S. MacKin- non, who had offered it to the city for $22.750. i The motion was made by Coun- cilman James Larsen and secondea by Councilman George Jorgenson. Three other sites had been stud- ied by the Council before it made its decision. Prices on two of the properties put them out of reach o1 the city. The third plot—directly across Main Street from the pre- sent City Hall—presented too many construction difficulties, the Coun- cil decided. . Fire Chief A. Minard Mill studied plans for a building on the site de- cided upon and gave his approva. of them. Prepared by Foss ana Malcolm, Architects, the plans showed a fire hall with four sets ot doors opening on Marine Way ana a hose tower at the rear of the building. Mayor Hendrickson said a fire insurance underwriter visiting Ju- neau had approved the Marine Way site for a municipal building includ- ing a fire hall. The site is close to the city’s most serious fire hazards and at the same time is near a street running directly to the upper part of town and on another lead- ing to the north, he said. ‘The plans also included widening Marine Way by 10 feet at the frony of the two-story building and South Seward by five feet. Mayor Hendrickson said a mu- nicipal building situated on the pur- chased property, “will dress up the approach to the ecity from . the waterfront.” Cost of clearing and filling the site has been estimated at $5,000. ‘The City Council, after deciding upon the site, authorized Mayol Hendrickson to negotiate with the Juneau-Young c¢ompany for pur- chase of 60 feet of its property. A street would be driven through the property from South Seward Stree. to Shattuck Way. ‘The Council also passed in ite second reading the ordinance call- ing for a one percent municipal sales tax. The ordinance will be approved or rejected at a speciai city election June 20. PRICE SUPPORTS FORIS FSH ASKED BY CONGRESSMEN WASHINGTON, May 31 — # — Congress was asked today to provide price supports for fish. Senator Magnuson and Rep. Jack- son (D-Wish) announced they arc introducing a bill to set up the price support program. It also would call upon the President to limit fish imports under certain conditions. The bill wauld set up a corpora- tion to support fish prices at 90 percent of parity by means of loans, purchases and other operations Parity is a price calulated to be equally fair to producer and con- sumer, The President would impose lim- ited import fees or import quotas whenever fish imports threaten to impair the price support program or reduce the total amount ot fish processed in the United States. Magnuson said there is no more hazardous occupation than that ot a fisherman. “And yet,”! he said in a statement, “he is completely at the mercy ot fluctuating market conditions. We protect the farmer, but we forget the fisherman. We forget, too, that there are 150,000 fishermen in the United States and they are pro- ducers of our fourth greatest tood resource.” STEAMER MOVEMENTS Princess Louise scheduled to sall from Vancouver 8 tonight.

'SECONDMEET FOR SALMON STALEMATE Alaska Line Can’t Get Longshoremen Despite Restraining Order SEATTLE, May 31—P-—Represen- tatives of the Alaska Salmon In- dustry, Inc, and the CIO Long- shoremen’s new Local 7-C were to meet a second time this afternoon in an attempt to break their ne- gotiations stalemate. ‘They met for the first time last week, after the industry yielded from its earlier refusal to bargain with the local. The industry already has a contract with the United Packinghouse Workers Union (CIO) for cannery workers. Meanwhile, supplies for the can- ning industry still were piled on Seattle docks. The longshoremen’s union with- drew pickets from the Alaska Steamship Company terminal, under court order, but the steamship tirm ‘reported it could not obtain CIO longshoremen to handle cannery CArgoes. ’ To meet that development in the on-again-off-again cannery ship- ping situation, the steamship com- pany asked the salmon industry or- ganization to halt delivery of can- nery freight to its piers. The Alaska Steamship letter to ASI. said: “For practical purposes, this leaves the situation as it was be- fore the entry of a temporary re- straining order (against the long- shoremen’s picketing). Until the dispute between the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., and the union, which is the cause of this diffi- culty, is settled, or until the long- shoremen change their present posi- tion, we trust you will not expect us to receive turther \ery cargo.” Willlam G. Hosie, of the US. Conciliation Service, announced the meeting today between the Indus- try and Local 7-C. Hopes for a settlement of the dispute ranged from gloomy to “guarded optimism.” One complicating factor was a previously announced determination of the longshoremen to insist on agreements being reached with all unions aligned with them in bar- gaining, William Gettings, regional long- shoremen’s chief, stated that stand. That would mean an agreement would also have to be reached for Eskimo Local 46 of the Interna- tional Fishermen and Allied Work- ers (IFAWA). Message to Governor IFAWA ‘headquarters released to- day the text of a telegram in which Joe Nashoalook asked Governor Gruening of Alaska to send Henry Bensen, Territorial Commissioner of Labor, to Seattle to join in the ne- gotiations. The Nashoalook message was in response to one he received from the Governor stating that he, the Governor, did not feel he could help the present cannery workers dispute with the Alaska Salmon In- dustry by personal invitation. ‘The Nashoalook message is as fol- lows: “Today I received your long tele- gram. I am very happy to see that you and I have finally cleared away all the conflicting stories and now understand each other. “I appreciate your position that this fight will be concluded here in Seattle where all parties involved are on hand and where all govern- mental agencies aré available. That is why I have remained here in Seattle for so long.
