LXXV., NQ. 11,623 DEADLOCK OVER SALMON PRICES, 1 ALASKA AREAS BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 7— UP—Salmon canners and purse seiners were still deadlocked today over the price of sockeye salmon to be paid in the False Pass and Port Moller areas of Alaska. An issue concerning an early re- turning date was “pretty well set- tled,” a spokesman of the fisher- men’s negotiating committee, said. The seiners are seeking to bring the sockeye price up to near the 65-cent level paid independent boats at Kodiak from the 32 cents they received at Port Moller last year. Involved in the dispute are four canning companies and 22 purse seiner crews. The seiners are mem- bers of Local 3, International Fish- erman and Allied Workers of America (CIO). Fishermen pickets have kept workers away from the big Pacific American Fisheries base of Alaskan operation here, prolonging the 27- day old ticup originally started by the cannery workers union. SUB PERISCOPE IS REPORTED SEENIN SALISBURY SOUND SITKA, Alaska, June T—®—The Sitka Sentinel reported yesterday a fisherman sighted a’ submarine periscope on Salisbury Sound north of here June 1. Harold Veatch, the Sentinel pub- lisher, said the report came round- about from M. C. O'Malley of the troller Molly O, who told him Al Callers of the troller Sea Bird was the man who sighted the periscope. Sallers reportedly saw the peri- scope sticking four or five feet out of the water while his vessel was some 150 feet away. He told O'Mal- ley he was close enough to note curvature of the uppermost part of the periscope, “sort of =" bell-like structure.” Sallers said he didn’t have long to view the periscope because when he got close to the pilot house win- dow to see better the periscope speedily retracted out of sight. At Seattle the Navy said it had no reports of any American subma- rines being in the Sitka area around June 1. AUXILIARY MEETS LAST TIME UNTIL AUGUST A report on the Poppy Day sale was made last night at the reg- ular meeting of the American Le- gion Auxiliary in the Dugout. As some of the returns were not yet in, no complete figures could be given, but tne results so far show the sale a complete success. Last night’s meeting was the last Auxiliary session to be held until the first Tuesday in August when plans will be continued for the Legion-Auxiliary convention to be held here in September. Closing last night’s meeting were refreshments, birthday cake and ice cream, honoring Mrs. Claude Carnegie, who celebrated her birth- day yesterday. 22 IS B R b SO AU, sl o P S TGRS AR o o 8 R s RS S N S R S 2o R B SRS R a1 FROM PELICAN Arvo Hamalainen of Pelican is registered at the Gastineau Hotel. The Washington Merry - Go-Round Bv DREW PEARSON ¢, 1960, By Bell Syndicate, Inc.) /ASHINGTON—Frank McCall of the National Broadcasting Com- pany doesn’t know it, but when he went to Washington the other day to talk about the armed forces television show, his entire convec- sation was secretly recorded. NBC has been putting on a tele- vision show for the Army, Navy and Air Forces as a public service. No charge is made. However, the quality of the show has not been up to par, and NBC has been worried. That was why McCall went to Washington. Meanwhile, the National Defense Department got from Congress a nice fistfull of the taxpayers mon- ey to build a special radio studio in the Pentagon Building with new wire recording apparatus, etc. This apparatus is supposed to be used to promote armed forces morale, not to spy on private citi- zens who are trying to help their country—with no charge to the tax- payers. But before NBC executive Mc- Call arrived, Charles Dillon, in charge of the armed forces tele- vision show, arranged to have Mc- Call's conversation recorded. Thus (Continued on Page Four) i _— e ——e——— o ——— -— ACHESON OPPOSES | REARMAMENT AS PROPOSED, BRADLEY WASHINGTON, June 7 — U9, —) Secretary of State Acheson said to- day the United States opposes any rearmament of Western Germany as a means of bolstering the securitv of the West. Acheson made this statement at a news conference in commenting on the testimony of Gen. Omar Bradley before a Congressienal com- mittee yesterday. Bradley said that rearming Western Germany would strengthen the West “from a strictly military point of view.” Acheson told reporters that Brad- ley had made it quite clear that he is not advocating rearming the Germans—and that his opinion was strictly a military judgment. Acheson also said the United States is willing to consider “any possibilities” proposed by Trygve Lie for settlement of East-West dif- ferences. But, he added, “there is no ‘magic” for ending the cold war. Lie, Secretary General of the United Nations, recently toured European _capitals, including Mos- cow. Acheson said the Western Powers must go forward with their plans “to create conditions of strength” against Russian expansionist pres- sures. He added bluntly that “we can’ty afford to wait” for the Russians to ! change their policies in the UN.— policies which he assailed as ob- structionist. Lie iformed President Truman, Acheson said, that his talks in the big power capitals showed that the U.N. “remains a primary factor in the foreign policy of each of the four governments he visited.” Acheson commented that cer- tainly was true in the United States but that as far as Russia is con- cerned it is a question of using the U.N. to advance Soviet maneuvers. FORMER GOV. PARKS IS HONORED, DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT AWARD If all persons interviewed were s modest as former Governor Seorge A. Parks, there would be ittle local news in the Empire. It took the combined efforts of John F. Mullen, president of B. M. "3ehrends Bank, and an Empire re- yorter to pry from Gov. Parks, ice president and director of the Pirst National Bank, the fact tliat he had just been honored by @ie Jolorado School of Mines, from which he was graduated, with a Distinguished Achievement Award. Gov. Parks returned Sunday by ?an American from a short trip 0 Denver, Salt Lake and Seattle. At the graduation ceremonies of he Colorado School of Mines, Gov. 2arks was recipient of the award,g MacARTHUR HITS REDS IN IND PURGE TOKYO, June 7 — ® — General MacArthur appeared headed for a showdown fight with Japanese Reds tonight after purging 17 policy mak- ers of the bombastic party news- paper Akahata. The new order brings to 41 the number of Red wheelhorses banned in 24 hours from Japanese political life. Eight of them are members of Parliament. The two moves set the stage for possible strikes, violence and world wide repercussions. The Reds were caught napping by the new order. They had just named a “leading group” of eight members to replace the 24 Politburo leaders who felt MacArthur's wrath yester- day. But, far from quailing before MacArthur, Akahata blazed back with a headline today declaring “The Communist party together with the people is indestructible.” Another banner screamed for party members “to defend the Communist party.” A general strike was called by Akahata. But there was no indica- tion party members were rallying to the call. Japanese police raided union headquarters searching for a letter denouncing MacArthur and calling for termination of the occupation and ousting of occupation troops! The letter was read at a Communist meeting Saturday. One rumor flashed around the city hinted the Russian mission might be asked to leave Japan. Russians were active over the weekend in Japan. They were seen photographing police assembled to cope with a strike called for last Saturday by the Communists. Neither the strike nor scheduled student demonstrations material- ized. ILWU WINS IN ELECTION TO BE BARGAINING AGENT In an election held Tuesday, June 6, in Petersburg, the Inter- national Longshoremen and Ware- housemen’s Union, ‘Local 222, won the certification to be bargaining agent for all cannery workers at Ohmer’s cannery. The vote de- feated the United Alaska Fisher- men and Cannery Workers Union. Local 24,359 (AFL) 31 to 7, accord- ng to Vern Albright, internatiofal representative of ILWU who has arrived in Juneau. This means that ILWU will be the 56th granted by his Alma Mater | th€ agent for cannery workers' n the 75 years since the honor was :stablished. ‘ The former governor talked more wbout the ten inches of snow In Jenver, his golfing in Salt Lake ind in Seattle, where he played with Ike Taylor, long a fellow golf >nthusiast, than he did about the 20nor accorded him. George Parks won’t brag about 1s achievements, will admit them mly under pressure, so his friends nust do it for him. GAMES TODAY BOSTON, June T7—M—Boston’s Red Sox ran up their highest score of the season today in drGbbing the hapless St. Louis Browns 20-4 for Joe Dobson’s seventh pitching de- cision. Seven homers were clouted in the game, five by the Red Sox among whom Clyde Vollmer and Vern Stephens each walloped a pair in the 23 hit Boston surge. NEW YORK, June 7—#—The Yankees hit three homers today but it was a pesky single by Yogi Berra in the seventh inning which brought the New Yorkers a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

POWER POOL FAILS IN NORTHWEST; STOPS EVERYTHING FOR HOUR SEATTLE, June 7—®—A Pacific Northwest power pool failure early last night dimmed lights about an hour, shut down radio stations halted transportation and industry tand caused several minor house fires. A burn-out of insulators on a newly energized Bonneville Power Administration line and faulty re- lays at the Coulee Dam powerhouse were blamed. The insulator failure was between Grand Coulee dam and Wenatchee. Hundreds of thousands of people in Western Oregon, Eastern and Western Washington and a sector of British Columbia were incon- venienced. The breakdown hit at 5:65 pm. .

JUNEAU, ALASKA, “DNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1950 INOURY OPENS N WARREN TOPS School Districi’s NEW UNION JUDGE FOLTA BEAR NO. 129 ANNUAL EX i1 District Judge George W. Nfl( 129 { searching investigation began today : has hung up notch number on his bear rifle, he said today, upon returning from a ten-day 'hunting tric near Mount Fair- weather, mid-way between ey Straits and Yakutat. ! But the judge was outdone by his son, Richard, for the second year in a row, he said, because Richard bagged two big fellows| while the judge only got one. Marcus Jensen, member of # House of Representatives from Douglas, went along and brought home one himself. ‘The judge's trophy was an un- usual critter, however. He was & cream-colored brown colored almost like a lion. Since he came to Alaska in 1913 at the age of 20, Judge Folta has hagged an average of 3.5 bears & vear to hang up the world's record in that department. The party headed for the vie- inity because they wanted to gef some big fellows. Quite a fo% were seen, but few large ones ke they wanted. It was early for was very late—shrubs had not yet leafed out and the weather wab miserable and cold. The bears were still hugging the high slojes, above where the hunters could climb. \ Last year the party went to Admiralty Island, and bagged four bears there—the judge one, his son two, and Jensen one “Dick outshot me this trip,” the judge admitted. “There were two bears together at one time, and we fired together. He got his, but I missed mine.” v The judge tied the score, how- ever, earlier in the year. He bagged a bear while hunting near Juneau some time before the party set out on their expedition. They were encamped on the 2I- sak River, landed there by a float plane direct from Juneau. The judge took more than 7( slides on the trip, with picture taking actually holding first pl3Te/ during the party’s encampment. v (Gus) Brown's description of the program he had arranged for the luncheon meeting today in the Baranof Gold Room.

These pointed out that ‘honest American citizens” start most forest fires, as many as 170,- )00 in one year. O. R.

MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS AIR CRASH COSTING PERHAPS 28 LIVES MIAMI, Fla., June 7 — ® — A into the crash of a C-46 plane in j Which 28 Puerto Ricans apparently lost their lives. Aeronautics Board and the Puerto Rican government flew to San Juan and Charleston, S.C., to open inquiries, The destroyer USS Sautley steamed toward Charleston with 37 survivors. Eight were known dead and scant hope was held for 20 others aboard the twin-engine plane that went down in the Atlantic 275 miles east- northeast of Miami Monday night. The 165-foot cutter Aurora, three Coast Guard planes and one Air Force craft continued to search the area for possible survivors, but of- ficials said there was little hope of finding any more. The pilot, Joe Halsey, Seattle, the co-pilot and steward were among those rescued from the plane, which was enroute from San Juan to Wil- mington, N.C., with 62 Puerto Rican migrant workers aboard. A representative of Westair Com- pany, operators of the plane, was to meet the Saufley at Charleston.

The property lies roughly between the Glacier Highway and Harbo: Way, and 12th and Irwin Streets, north of the Juneau Dairies build- ing, and toward the channel. A ballot was held last month by voters in the district to issue $750~ 000 in bonds for the structure and improvements of the property. The Smith Dairy until recently was outside the city limits, but when the Highlands area was annexel it became part of Juneau. M. E ! Monagle, attorney for Francis Smith, who now operates the property, cross-examined Dr J. O. Rude, school board president, at length over the board’s purpose in choosing the site for a school and asked: “Isn’t the condemnation of this property just for the purpose o1 putting this darily out of business?’ “Dairy Out Eventually” Dr. Rude said it was not, but that the “time would come when the \dairy inside the city will be thrown out.” Robert Boochever and William L.

Senator Gurney was the second incumbent to lose out so far in the 1950 primaries. Senator Pepper (D-Fla) was defeated by Rep.: George Smathers in a May 2 pri- mary. With more than one-third of the state's precincts in, Roosevelt had a 28,000 vote lead over Warren for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi- nation. But Warren smothered Roosevelt in the Republican pri- mary and his total on both tickets at one point was nearly two to one over Roosevelt’s total. Mrs. Douglas’ lead in the Demce- cratic Senate race was about two to one over her nearest opponent with one-third of the precincts in. Man- chester Boddy, Los Angeles pub- lisher, ran second and Nixon third. On the Republican side, Nixon was far in front at this point. Friends of Case sald it was not issues but hard work in “beating| the bushes” that won for him against Gurney in South Dakota. Case's opponent in November will be John A. Engel, Avon attorney and a Truman supporter. In winning the Democratic Gub- ernatorial nomination, Rep. Miles turned back the bid of the Chavez brothers for control of the party in New Mexico.

ROBERT PHILLIPS RETURNS HOME AS GRADUATE M.-D. One of Juneau’s young sons re- turned yesterday from the states with an M.D. after his name, He is Robert (Bobby) Phillips, son of A. B. Phillips, Vice President of the B. M. Behrends Bank. Dr. Phillips graduated from Ju- neau High School in 1943 and went j directly to Stanford University where he entered pre-medics and received his AB degree three years ago. Last Saturday he graduated with an M.D. degree. He will be here, visiting Mr. and \Mrs. Phillips until June 15 whien he will go to the San Francisco City and County Hospital for a year of internship, stopping in Se- attle to visit a few days with cided upon for the school site. As Monagle pressed the point {that the Smith residence was not to be used as a site, but perhaps for a teacaers’ residence, Booch- cver objected on the grounds that the site chosen was not a matter for decision by the judge, but lay within the powers of legislative action. Judge Folta susiained the objec- tion, but allowed Monagle to per- sue his course because of the at- torney's offer of proof that the home site was not contemplated to ke used for actual school pur- poses. In a discussion with the judge, Monagle said: “There is plenty of land near there and yet they attempt to s\™n these peorle out of their home and dairy business.” The judge cautioned him that he must prove clearly that is the case, or his contention would not be allowed Dr. Rude said the board pre- ferred moving the house off the property, but that “we figurec we could use the home for’ rési- dences if need be.” “There was no place for a play- ground,” he said, “and we must have room for that and also fu- ture expansion. We prefer the house off the property.” Monagle repeated his charge that “there are acres of other land, and yet you take their home.” Judge Folta answered this him- self, but asking: “But 'isn't that the way witl any condemnation? Somebody will be put out in any case.” “Why not disturb some othe) reople?” asked Monagle, Judge Folta stopped this line of questioning by declaring that e court “can’t concern ourselves wiii that.” 3 Dr. Rude said the land was not the most desirable, but the most central available for a school. He said the row of 10 or 12 homes on 12th Street west of the Jun&iu Dairies building may be condemnea later as the school expands. Dr. Rude, in response to a ques- tion by Monagle, said preliminay plans had been drawn up for some two months on the structure. ¥ “Do the plans show that the present Smith home lies on Fie site of the school?” asked Mon- agle. To this Boochever objected stren- uously, and was sustained by the Jjudge, The hearing was to resume exrl: this afternoon, at which time the judge believed he would have a ruling on whether proof had been shown the board chose the siti without contemplating its use as in actual school site.

WORKERS |Possibility Now of More | Labor Troubles, Fishing Industry, Bristol Bay SEATTLE, June T7—M—A new union charter was issued to Bristol Bay cannery workers by National CIO headquarters today, raising possibilities of new labor troubles such as those which recently tied up the Alaska Salmon Industry for 25 days. ‘The charter was issued, regional CIO director Roy W. Atkinson said, at the request of members of Local 46, International Fishermen and Allled Workers of America (IFAWA). The local notified At- kinson Monday that it had resolved to disaffiliate with IFAWA and re- quested a new charter. The new union has been chart- ered as the Bristol Bay Cannery Workers, Local 46, and will be affili- ated with the National CIO. ‘The development was a continua- tion of the struggle between a fac- tion supported by Harry Bridges’ Longshore Union and a group seek- ing to divorce itself from Bridges’ union. : Joe Nashoalook, a native labor leader from Bristol Bay, signed an agreement Sunday along with offi- cers of Local 7-C of the ILWU, covering the cannery workers. Atkinson then received word from Local 46 disavowing Nashoa- look’s action and claiming that he had been ousted as business repre- sentative. They named Jim Downey, |n trading post operator, As their agent and requested reopening of negotiations with the industry at union headquarters in Dillingham, It has not been learned whether the Downey faction represented a substantial number of the 1,400 na- tives in Local 46. Willlam Gettings, regional longshore chief, said the group was a minority. Nashoalook said he will return to Bristol Bay today to report to the union and fight the disaffilia- tion action.
