The Bristol Bay fishermen have been affiliated with the faction- torn Alaska Fishermen's Union The Seattle newspaper said the Bristol Bay men had rejected a st from International Long- men's and Warehougemen’s Union to try out an AFU-ILWU merger for at least a year. Whether AFU should merge with the Harry Bridges-led longshore- | | men has been an issue of hot dis- | pute within the union, The dispute has even reached the courts. The Times said: “The move by | the Bristol Bay fishermen to go | | independent is important in itself, | | but the effect the action may| SEATTLE, Dec the fight within the AFU perhabs is of even greater concern to union | leaders. ‘William Gettings, longshore union | leader here, said he had not heard of any Bristol Bay vote and that the union members there could not act independent of the AFU| anyhow.

U.S. District Attorney P. J , Jr., advised the court this raorzung that his office has no cases |to present to a grand j at this | time. | Grand jurors are notified not tc | report in court in Juneau at 2 p.m January 8, according to Clerk of ‘lhe Court J. W. Leivers. The grand jury has not been cancelled, it was | pointed out, but will be continued | subject to call in the event cases |arise for its consideration during | the January session of the court. District Attorney Gilmore says | that disposition of criminal cases throughout the year, which has left a clear calendar at this time, is due principally to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures which pro- vide for those accused of felony te waivZ prosecution by indictment, or |grand jury proceedings, and allov.s Por prosecution by information f.ed | by the United States Atorney. { The result of this i .hat through- out the year nume.ous felony or ! bind-over cases which ordinarily in |the past would have had to be pre- {sented to the grand jury are now | disposed of without presentment to | that body. This action, the district attorney said, results in a great savings to the government and ben- efits to those accused, inasmuch as it permits a defendant to have his case disposed of without waiting for the convening of a grand jury. The Federal Rules, in effect since THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA approved by the Supreme Court of the United States and applied in all states and territories have re- sulted in this district in previous. years in a material reduction of the time required for a grand jury to be in session. The 1951 term of the U.S. District. Court is the first year when no criminal cases remain on the calendar to be presented brZore a grand jury. The petit jury for the sanuary term of court will meet us sched- uled at 10 a.m., January 8. "QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE’ 1S BACK HOME TRAVIS AIR ' FORCE BASE.’; Calif., Dec. 26—®—Col. A. H.
