be binding on either the industry
or Philip Murray’s CIO steelwork
ers. But the White House hopes it
will point the way to a settlement.
And how the steelworkers fare
on their fourth round demands
may well become a pattern for
all industry. It has happened that
way before.
A million steelworkers called
off plans for a walkout to begin
Friday midnight when the indus
try’s giants, including U. S. Steel,
reluctantly gave in to the admin
istration’s 60-day strike truce
plan.
Mr. Truman appointed Carroll
R. Daugherty, Northwestern Uni
versity professor of business eco
nomics, as chairman of the impar
ital panel. Serving with him will
be Judge Samuel I. Roseman, for
mer White House adviser, and Da
vid L. Cole, Paterson, N. J., labor
relations expert who has served
on other labor fact-finding boards.
The President, relieved by ac
ceptance of his peace plan by big
and little steel firms, won some
thing in his exchange with the in
dustrial giants. He was able to by
pass the Taft-Hartley act in deal
ing with a major labor crisis.
The three-man board has until
August 30 to make its settlement
recommendations to the W’hite
House. The truce is to continue to
Sept. 14.
WASHINGTON, uPi—The fact
finding board in the steel wage
dispute organized today at a
White House meeting.
As they did so, the White House
made public a letter from Samuel
I. Rosenman, one of its members,
and a former special counsel to
President Truman,
Rosenman wanted it to be made
a matter of record that his New
York City law firm is counsel to
the Rotary Electric Steel company
of Detroit. One of his law part
ners is a director of the company
which has a contract with a local
of the CTO united steel workers.
The three board members met
with Presidential assistant John
B. fcteelmTin to discuss such things
as a schedule of hearings.
With the eyes of all industry
and unions upon them, the three
members will hear arguments for
rail against a fourth round of post
war wage raises hi t.ie steel in
dustry, and for and against large",
pers on and insurance plans.

Many Subversive
Agents Given Visas
To Enter U. S.
WASHINGTON, (/P»—The Cen

to Congress Saturday that 32 rep
resentatives of foreign govern
ments given visas to enter this

communist organizational work of
an underground or subversive na
ture outside their homelands.”

he was reporting only on activities
| of the 100 in countries outside the
United States. He noted that the
C.I.A. has no police or enforce

have to come from '.he F.B.I. and
other agencies, he said .

Senator McCarran <D.-Nev.> heard
also that the state department has
permitted about 10 aliens to enter

secretary of state, gave this infor

score of foreigners attached to the
United Nations headquarters in
New’ York are under investigation

ary sub-committee.

VANCOUVER. B. C., June 17—
The steamer Alpha arrived to
night from Cape Nome after one
of the most terrible and yet luck
iest voyages on record. She made
eight thousand miles without an
accident, and for over one thou
sand miles forced her way through
pack ice. She was a month ahead
of other boats from Puget Sound,
and Capt. Burkholtz says he would
never attempt the trip again for
any amount of money.
Five days she was hemmed in
with ice floes and expected at any
time to be crushed to piece-;. The
smashing of the floes in the vicin
ity could be heard like thunder.
The Alpha brings five passen
gers only and $300,000 worth of
gold dust. J. E. Monaghan of Den
ver, Colo., has $145,000, while
Jack Kill, a Seattle butcher, has
$80,000. Topeock Creek is the big
gest find of the season in Nome.
Out of one claim $15,000 was
taken in a week, and the claim
yielded $56,000 in all.
Food was very high when the
Alpha arrived, and her appear
ance was hailed with delight. She
discharged, however, in contra
vention of custom laws, having
cleared for St. Michael, but the
point was waived.
Passengers say it was only by
direct intervention of Providence
that Nome City was not swept
away by fire on May 25th. Work
i on mining claims was entirely
{ suspended during March on ac
i count of a cold. snap. So-called
Golden Gate district is turning
out remarkably well.

sion gradually eased today after a
touchy weekend which saw an
armed mob try to take two Ne

troops moved in to maintain order

20 cars which passed through.
Residents said three or four
men were in each car; none wore
the traditional klan hoods and
robes.

Kansas Repeals
70 Year-Old Bone
Dry Liquor Law
TOPEKA, Kas. iAy)—Lq.uor will
go on sale L-E-G-A-L-L-Y in Kan
sas this week.
It will mark the end of an era
of colorful crusading urtd a multi
million dollar bootlegging bus -
ness in this long-time stronghold
of prohibition.
For almost 70 years the sale 01
liquor has been banned ,n Kansas
by the State Constitution. And for
32 years the State bone dry law
made possession of so much as a
thimbleful of liquor punishable by
a jail sentence.
But, last November Kansans
voted 422.294 to 353,310 to repeal
prohibition.
After a two months' struggle,
mainly to retain local option, the
legislature passed a liquor control
act. It wiped the bone cry law
from the statute books.
Then followed four month- o'
i feverish work to establish con
i trol and licensing set-up.
Late today, the state liquor con
1 trol office will mail out 1.cense
for more than 2(10 privately owned
stores to retail liquor or high pe
: cent beer. Beer of less than 3.3
per cent alcohol was legalized L
1937.
Kansas’ desertion of proh.bition
leaves liquor illegal only .Okla
homa and Mississippi.
