S. Military men have been skeptical as Truman, diplomats not so skeptical. Diplomats believe that the Kremlin has been watching our new atomic tests, that the Chinese have been seriously hurt by our slaughter of their troops, and that all hands would welcome an armis- tice reasons for military skepticism is that Russia has been shipping new jets into Manchuria at the rate of 150 per month.

Eric Johnston, economic stabiliza- tion director, made that estimate| of it, and said President Truman; has agreed that all elements of the administration should engage in a campaign of speeches, statements and appeals to inform the public| on the hazards of inflation. ! Johnston added to a news confer- ence “We don’t want an economic Pearl Harbor or a Dunkerque. And we don’t want a Munich of appease- | ment.” Johnston had just come from a conference with President Truman. While Johnston was meeting with reporters at the stabilization agency, Mr. Truman was holding his usual Thursday news confererice. The «President also plugged for stronger economice controls, as he has been doing for weeks, but he used much milder language than John- ston did Mr. Truman said he hopes the beginning debate today on controls legislation, will come up with a wpikable bill. He has been «harpicritical of the bill the Sen-) ate has passed. It would restrict b and possibly prevent — price roll- as ase | backs.

An agreement was announced yes- terday to end the strikes of the Ber- ing Sea Fisheérmen's union and Lacal 46 of the Resident Cannery Work- ers union (both AFL). The strikes were reported to involve about 2,300 workers. The Bering Sea union with about 1,400 members, has been picketing for about a month although the ac- (ual fishing season didn't begin un- Ul June 25, The Cannery workers’ union members, mostly Eskimos, joined the last week after switching from CIO to AFL affiliation. Most canneries have been operat- ing despite the strike, but on a restricted basis with outside work- flown in Agreement The agreement with the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., provides for payment of 40 cents a fish for the irich red salmon catch. It was 32 cents last In Seattle, however, an Industry spokesman said he was advised that the welfare provision applies only to the cannery workers. He said the Industry agreed to it by letter to i the cannery workers’ union, without writing it into the contract. The union had demanded 60 cents The Industry agreed, however, to create a welfare fund for the bene- fit of needy and ill workzis. It will be bralt by payments of 20 cents a case by the canneries. Parties to the agreement estimated it Wwill reach $100,000 this season. Organization Intact Jim Downey, chairman of the Bering Sea union, commented: “We didn’t get the 60 cents, but we kept our organ jon intact and we had the unwavering backing of the resi- d ers being year. here is more to this agreement than its terms.

But that didn’t stop the shooting in Korea. Today Reds shot at two UN pa- trols as they approached Kaesong, war-scarred ancient capital of Korea where cease-fire talks will be held. Yesterday they had per- mitted one patrol to enter the de- serted city near the 38th Parallel. Guarantee Sought UN Commander Gen. Matthew B, Ridgway still sought a guarantee from the Communists they would not fire in similar fashion on the emissaries he will send to Kaesong Sunday. That one hitch remains to be settled before representatives of the opposing top commands can meet. And when they do get together it will be merely to make plans for the real cease-fire conference, That will be Tuesday. Safe Conduct Demapd Thursday passed without word that Chinese and North Korean commanders had guaranteed safe conduct to the UN delegation. Instead the Reds’ Peiping radio said the success of cease-fire falks “depends on whether the U. 8. Gov- ernment and other governments taking part in the Korean war are sincere.” And it told the Chinese that even after the shooting ends in Korea they must continue to build defenses to guard against Ameri¢an “attempts at aggression,” Three Colonels at Talk Thursday morning Ridgway agreed to the Red suggestion that prelim- inary talks be held Sunday. Re- liable sources said he would send three colonels — a Marine, an Air- man and a South Korean. Two in- terpreters will accompany them. Ridgway asked that the Commun- ist generals guarantee them safe conduct to the meeting in no-man's | land. Asks for Red Route Earlier he had pledged his forces wouldn’t shoot at the Red delega- tion, if their route was announced. Battle action dwindled as armis- tice talks drew nearer. But Reds opened up Thursday with the heav- iest artillery and mortar fire they've used on the Western front in a week. Their guns stopped shooting in the east where they've daily harassed Allied lines, Chinese stabbed at UN lines with three minor probing attacks. But almost everywhere they pulled back from Allied patrols. CLYDE HENLEY HERE Clyde W. Henley, National Gro- cery Co. representative from Ket- chikan is stopping at the Baranof { Hotel.
