RESTAURANT HELP MAY WALKOUT; ASK FOR BOOST WAGES | | The hotel and restaurant employ- ees union Local 871 (AFL) has vot- |ed 6 to 1 to strikg if demands for | pay ingreases are not met by mid- | night tomorrow when the present contract expires, it was announced today by Cledamae Cammock, bus- iness agent for the union. The union had previously conced- { ed a demand for a 40-hour week. The employers countered with a | 50-cent per day increase in some crafts but it was refused by the union membership. Under the present contract hotel clerks are now working for $1.19 per hour and are asking for $$1.31; bell- boys and elevator operators are get- ting 81 cents per hour and asking $1; waitresses are being paid 93 cents per hour and asking for $1.06; hotel maids get $1 an hour and are asking $1.25; cooks are being paid $1.75 per hour and requesting $1.82. “In light of increased cost of liv- ing, we feel that these requests are not unreasonable,” Mrs. Cammock said . “In event that the strike takes place the union has arranged to take over the Mirror Cafe to feed | the public that must eat downtown,” she added. % A two-and-a-half hour meeting of union representatives and em-:' ployers this afternoon resulted in a deadlock. It was still hoped that| something could be worked out be- | fore midnight tomorrow to avert! the pending strike. | i i 4 ALASKA AIRFIELDS ARE COMPLETED WITHIN ONE WEEK i Just before returning to Anchor- | age today after about two weeks | in this area, Alaska Aviation Direc- | tor George S. (Tony) Schwamm | expressed satisfaction over progress | of airport construction in the Ter- | ritory. | Four air strips will have been ! completed in the week between last Tuesday and next Tuesday. | Schwamm had just received word | irom Lytle and Green in Anchor- | age that work on the Fort Yukon airport was finished at noon today. | “This means a lot to all the back country there,” Schwamm id. “Fort Yukon serves the big area of the Chandalar country, the Porcupine and Upper Yukon areas, and it should mean lower freight rates for supplies.” The 3,750-foot gravel runway is long enough for DC-3's. With the Federal Government bearing approximately two-thirds of | the expense, the total contract was for $123,200. A 2,000-foot gravel runway under | contract to J. Ramstad Construc- | tion Company, Anchorage, was completed Saturday at Seldovia. | With the Territory carrying about | one-third of the cost, construction | of this strip came to $47,280. The Matanuska Valley Fair Asso- ciation is sponsoring a dedication ceremony for the official opening of the Matanuska Valley Airport at Palmer Saturday afternoon, the | day on which construction is sched- | uled for completion. ! The old 2,500-foot north-south runway now will be 3,750 feet long. | The east-west runway has been ex- tended from 1,800 to 4,900 feet, long enough to permit landings of DC- | 4’s. i Total cost of this project under | the Federal Aid to Airport program was $121,227. The contract was awarded to the Palmer Construc- tion Company. | After inspecting the project yesterday, Schwamm volced special satisfaction with that con- struction, “I am very proud of that air- port,” he said today. “It came out even better than we expected.” The 3,700-foot gravel runway 1s | due to be finished Tuesday, work ! being done by the Munter Con- struction Company. This strip will cost $113,773. All four runways were construc- ted under the Federal Airport Aid program. Besides those mentioned, the Warm Springs Bay seaplane base on Baranof Island was completed | yesterday, The new float for the| Sitka seaplane base has been towed | there, although it is not yet moored. Schwamm spent part of his time in Southeast Alaska inspecting those and other seaplane floats. Skagway | RICKES ARRIVE HERE FROM DETROIT FOR VISIT, SEVERAL WEEKS Mr. and Mrs. G. C.

SPECIALISTS T0 BE DRAFTED FOR ARMED SERVICES House Passes Measure by| 362 to 1 - Doclors, Dentists Wanted WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—®—The House today passed 362 to one leg- islation permitting a draft of doc- tors, dentists and “allied specialists” for the Armed services. JA similar bill was passed by the { Sénate yesterday, but there are differences which will have to be adjusted before the legislation goes to President Truman. The one opposing vote in the House was cast by Rep. Marcan- | tonio (ALP-NY). Rep. Hedrick (D- WVA) voted “present.” The House bill permits a draft of doctors up to and including age 50; of dentists through age 45. As the measure came from the Armed Services committee it was 45 for both doctors and dentists, but at the last minute an amendment was adopted raising the age for doctors to 50. It was offered by Rep. Saylor (R-Penn). If called up they would be liable for 21 months duty. Doctors, den- tists and some of the allied spec- jalists would be given commissions. SALMON FISHING CONTINUES SLOW IN SECOND WEEK Analysis by the U. S. Fish and ‘Wwildlife Service of fishtrap catch reports in Southeast Alaska for the second week of the season show, in general, a decline from the first week’s averages. While a storm at the close of last week kept many traps from be- ing brailed Friday, many were reached Saturday and some Sun- day. The daily average catch per trap indicates a decline in the run even before the storm. The canned salmon pack report for the week ending August 26 shows much lower packs than in 1949 except along the west coast, where the 1950 pack actually ex- ceeded that of last year for the same period, Comparative totals are 152,587 cases this year, against 142,122 in 1949, » As of August 26, the total south- east Alaska pack is slightly more than half that of the comparable 1949 period—590,849 cases against 1,041,800. The pack in other parts of Al- aska are more than the comparable 1949 period. Central Alaska shows 1,398,939 cases against last year's 1,258,986'2; Western Alaska 619,- 182 this year, compared to 588,550 in 1948, With the total for “Alaska stand- ing at 2,608970 as of August 26, salmon industry officials consider that a pack of 3,000,000 cases over- all would be lucky. Three million would be one of the smallest packs in the history of the industry in Alaska. With only this week to go, it still would be possible to take up the Motors in Detroit. The Rickes are houseguests of Mr, and Mrs, VanderLeest slack in Southeast Alaska, given the fish, as the canning capacity is 200,000 cases a day. GIVEN BLAST DEFENSES IN SOUTH KOREA (Contirzued from Page One) dropped in North Korea, has advised citizens to move away from target cities and tells them “you can help' build a strong, free Korea after the Communists have been driven out,” s The Reds in North Korea stepped up their propaganda against Am- erican bombings, claiming in a broadcast from Pyongyang, their capital, that U. S. bombers hit & field hospital. The broadcast said & protest note had been sent to the UN. Air, Sea Attacks But the unrelenting American at- tacks from air and sea continued, putting a steady drain on Com- | munist supply lines throughout Kor- |ea. The planes also attacked heav- ily all along the 120-mile battle- front, listing 25 tanks and 87 trucks destroyed or damaged in yesterday’s raids. The planes were giving strong‘ support to the South Koreans on the { Pohang front on the eastern coastal sector. J | Reds Near Pohang Communist forces, pressing an of- fensive with 40,000 troops on two sectors along the Allied northern wall in South Korea, smashed to within rifle range of tortured Po- hang port today. United Nations troops lashed back, but their small- scale counterattack was stalled af- ter pushing the Reds back a mile north of the port city. The battle along the northern | line grew hourly in intensity. The outskirts of Pohang, eastern anchor of the United Nations beachhead in South Korea, were wrecked in the furious see-saw fighting. The Com- munists also threatened to the west, 18 miles north of Taegue, forward base of UN forces. Behind the Reds’ | 40,000 northern front troops, more strength was reported massing— perhaps three divisions strong. Battling For Hill On the central Naktong River | front U.-S. Firsy Cavalry Division | | forces drove against a hill position | of the Reds’ near Waegwan, 12/ miles northwest of Taegue. They | | were forced to withdraw, but a U. S. spokesman said the attack would | be renewed and the hill would be | taken. ! The Reds were taking bloody loss- es for just a few yards of territory outside Pohang. They drove to the | gates of the city, before a small- scale American and South Korean | tank-infantry attack was thrown| against them, edging them back to | at least a mile north of the city. The Communists threatened to cut the Pohang-Taegue road, isolat- | ing the South Korean forces now north of Pohang. | | Brifish Princess Elizabeth Up Again | LONDON, Aug. 30—(® Pl‘in(‘CFS’ Elizabeth is up and around again, | 15 days after the birth of her daughter, Princess Anne, her doc- tors reported today. 1 | |9 WEDNI'I.\'.I)AY, AUGUST 30, 1950 - Bride-to-Be Is Honored, Shower “For Better Appearance” A bridal shower was held for Mrs. Barbara Reid-Davis at the C A L L home of Mrs, E.
