To Immediately
Get Bomb Shelters
.'T *
FAIRBA'frfcS, #PV — (Flans for
immediate construction of bomb
shelters in farming areas near
Fairbanks and Palmer were an
nounced yesterday by Clyde Sher
man, Territorial commissioner of
agriculture.
The shelters would be built in
hillsides and be usable both as
farm storage cellars and emer
gency air raid shelters.
Sherman said 10 of the cellar
shelters will be built near Fair
banks and 20 in the Anohorage
Palmer area.
He said farmers who provide
land for these shelters will be per
mitted to use them for storage un
der normal condiitons. The cel
lars will -be large enough to store
200 tons of potatoes. In an emer
gency they quickly could be con
verted to bomb shelters that
would sleep 300 people.
The air force promised to pro
vide some salvage and surplus
equipment for the shelters, Sher
man said.
Plans are for the shelters to be
constructed on hillsides under
ground. Surplus steel drums, set
four drums high, would be used
for walls of the shelters, with raf
ters and bracing constructed of
timber. Cost of each would be
about $5,000.
Although the population erf both
Anchorage and Fairbanks is clus
tered around bases that would be
prime bombing targets in case of
war, this is the first plan for con
struction of civilian bomb shelters
to be announced.
Labor Members
Walk Out Of Wage
Stabilization Meet
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Uncer
tainty clouded the whole govern
ment effort to control prices and
wages aftes labor members of the
wage stabilization board walked
out today in protest over a recom
mendation for a ten per cent ceil
ing on wage increases.
By a six to three vote, the board
came forth with a long-awaited
formula which would limit wage
increases to ten per cent between
Jan. 15, 1951, and next July 1.
Thus if workers had already had
their pay hiked eight per cent,
they would be held to a two per
cent boost until July 1.
The three public and *hree in
dustry members, who approved
this formula, promised to review
the entire wage picture before
July l and revise it if necessary
to keep wages in line with the
mounting cost of living.
The labor members, who had
been holding out for a 12 per cent
ceiling, promptly withdrew from
the board in protest. In effect,
they had been instructed to do so
under the circumstances by the
United Labor Policy Committee, a
* -* ♦ *
group representing nearly all the
16,000,000 union members in the
nation.
Emil Rieve, one of the mem
bers, is president of the CIO
United Textile Workers.
The other two labor members
are Elmer E. Walker,, president of
the macinists union, recently re
affiliated with the AFL, and pres
ident H. C. Bates of the AFL
bricklayers union. .
