Alaska Fishermen
Disclaim ILWU
Affiliation
SEATTLE, (/P) — The Alaska
Fishermen’s Union doesn’t regard
itself as an affiliate of the Inter
national Longshoremen & Ware
housemen’s Union, Oscar Ander
son, A.FAJ. secretary-treasurer,
said yesterday.
Anderson made a statement of
his union’s position because of the
expulsion Tuesday of the ILWU
from the national CIO for assert
i
edly following the communist par
ty line.
“We want it made clear that the
Alaska Fishermen’s union does
not consider itself an affiliate of
i
Harry Bridges’ union,” Anderson
declared.
The A.F.U., with 5,000 or more
members, was the largest affiliate
of the International Fishermen &
Allied Workers’ Union, which was
; merged several months ago with
the ILWU. The national CIO ex
ecutive board also expelled the
LF.A W.A.
“We had started a referendum
to withdraw from the I.F.A.W.A.,
however, before the merger with
the ILWU was put into effect,”
Anderson said. “Our referendum
will be completed about October
9.”
Anderson said his union consid
ers the action of the I.F.A.W.A.
executive board in ordering the
merger with the ILWU as illegal
under the I.F.A.W.A. constitution.
He said the action was taken
v'i^out proper convention ap
proval and with some board mem
bers, whose unions were in arrears
in their per capita tax payments,
participating.
The referendum proposal now
being considered by the Alaska
Fishermen’s Union would give the
union an independent status for at
i least two years,

Radar Cannot ;
Protect U. S.
From Bombers
. /
WASHINGTON (JPh-An enemy
probably could make an aerial
Pearl Harbor strike at almost any
place in the United States today
and get some bombs down on the
target.
It is not considered within the
realm of possibility that the pres
ent sparsely spotted radar system
—even though on a round-the
clock operating basis—would de
tect all approaching bombers or
that existing fighter forces would
destroy every one of them.
Competent military sou rces
doubt if more than a quarter of an
attacking bomber force coming in
over the Polar regions could be
knocked down before it crossed
the northern border of the United
States.
They point out that in World
War II, in areas where there was
a high concentration of fighter de
fense and elaborate radar warn
ing system, destruction of 10 per
cent of an attacking force was
considered excellent.
Air force strategists hold that
the most efective way to halt air
attacks on the U. S. mainland
would be destruction of the bases
from which the attacks are
launched and of the industrial
centers supporting the attacks. It
is on this theory that the retalia
| tory strike by long range B-36’s,
| B-29’s, and B-50*s are planned.
Following this same reason
ing, defense officials believe that
the bases for those planes, in the
continental U. S. and Alaska,
would be priority enemy targets,
the spots for which sneak raiders
would head first. Making the
bases useless for launching retal
iatory strikes would be of prime
importance to the enemy.
Next in importance probably
would b$ the great industrial
areas and the nerve-center of
government and military direc
' tion, Washington, D. C.
