One Atlantic
Hurricane Passes;
Another Looms Up
MIAMI, (/P) — A new tropical
storm in the Caribbean was being
watched as an Atlantic hurricane
swept harmlessly to sea off Nova
Scotia today. A disturbance in the
Gulf of Mexico was removed as a
possible threat.
The Caribbean storm was dis
covered yesterday some 1,950
miles from Miami as September—
the “hurricane month”—was ar
riving.
A ship reported it experienced
50 to 60 miles an hour winds, but
as the storm passed between Mar
tinique and St. Lucia last night
the highest w.inds experienced
were 45 miles an hour.
“It doesn’t look like there is
much to it,” said chief forecaster
Brady Norton.
The Atlantic seaboard breathed
easier as a hurricane with wind
of more than 100 miles an hour
passed off the New England
States and Nova Scotia and was
considered no longer a threat to
the United States.

is 3,8j05 gross tons and 323 feet
long.
The little North Star was built
in 1932 at the old Berg shipyards
in Ballard. She has been com
manded since 1945 by Capt.
| Charles H. Salenjus, who joined
her as third mate when she was a
j new ship.
National recognition was gained
by the North Star in 1939 when
she carried out an important role

directed by Adm. Richard E.
Byrd.
The North Star is due back jn
Seattle in November.

which if accepted, will remove the
hiring hall as a strike issue,” it
explained.
But an employer spokesman in
dicated no change in the em
ployers’ attitude that the hiring
hall be left status quo pending
court determination of its legal
' ity under the Taft-Hartley law.
This was the basis of this month’s
I
ieast coast maritime settlement.
The ILWU said ’ pessimistically
that “many issue remain unset
1 tied, and unless they are disposed
jof between now and the deadline,
! the strike will ensue.”
The employers made one other
concession. They agreed to in
clude supercargoes in the propos
ed contract. Supercargoes are
men who direct the loading of
cargo into the holds.
I Meantime another complica
tion arose when all west coast
j unions, whose contracts are in dis
pute, reaffirmed their stand that
the waterfront employers must
! sign with all or none,
j These unions include the ILWU,
the marine engineers, firemen,
radio operators and the cooks and
stewards.
What the government will do
' when the 80-day federal “cooling
off” injunction expires remained
a question. Jess Rosenberg, spe
cial department of justice attor
ney, said he had asked Washing
ton for instructions on lifting the
injunction. He indicated this
might take a few days since the
government’s course of action lies
largely in unexplored areas of the
| Taft-Hartley Act.
Injunction or no, the longshore
, men announced their decision to
stop work Thursday still stands.
