Ships Don’t Sail j
Two CIO Contracts
Still Not Signed

wh:l(j only the first disruptive ef
fects of a threatened shipping,
paralysis were being felt, was pre
dicted by a labor department trou-,
ble shooter.
“I may be an incurable optimist
but I anticipate a settlement be-1
tween the two unions (the radio)
operators and the cooks-stewards) i
and the employers to result from i
this morning’s meeting,” said Na
than Feinsinger.
He arrived only yesterday from
Washington. He wound up his
first day of efforts by saying that j
his toughest problem appeared
solved.
This was to get the marine
cooks and stewards and the ship
owners to come to terms. Without
announcing the details, Feinsinger
said last night this virtually was
accomplished.
This union yesterday gave the
west coast its first taste of a pos
sible shipping tieup by refusing to
sign sailing papers, in the absence
of a .contract to replace the one

Short On Dimes
SEATTLE, (/P)—Dimes, dimes, i
where are there enough dimes?
With bus fares jumping from
8 1/3 cents (or a token) to 10 cents
here next Sunday, there aren’t
enough in town to handle the ex
pected demand. <
So the city, through the Seattle
branch of the Federal Reserve
bank of San Francisco, put out a ,
hurried call to the mint yesterday
for half a million dimes, as a
starter. Only dimes may be us.:ii

PATRICIA WALSH
RETURNS HOME.
Patricia Walsh, youngest of the
M. J. Walsh family, who has been
away for five years returned home
Monday evening. She has been at
tending school in Denver, Colo.,
where she made her home with
her older sister, Eileen Taylor, and
plans to enter college this fall.
gle and joint meetings today with
the two unions and the employers
The cooks had represented their
demands as embracing a year’s re
newal of contract, minus wage
changes, but with an immediate
wage review. The latter condition
proved the initial stumbling block.
The radio operators (American
Communications Association) also
sought a year’s extension, the ba
sis of agreement which already
has netted the signing of 17 west
coast contracts. But the union
asked for some changes in work
ing conditions.
Feinsinger pointed at the im
portance of a quick settlement,
saying he believed if today didn’t
wind up the trouble the situation
“might drag on for some time.’’ '
Miomas Questions
Wallace On His
Communist Views
NEW YORK, (JP) — Socialist
leader Norman Thomas asked
Henry A. Wallace today n nn
open let‘er: “Do you reiect the
theory that Communi-t totalitar
ianism. using the Red array and
its other army the International
Communist movement, is relent
lessly, patiently and boldly seek
ing world power?’
Writing as chairman of the Pos‘
War ',rorld Council, Thomas con
tinued in a letter he made public:
“If you reject this theory, on
what grounds do you explain the
Russian tactics in Korea, Man
churia the Balkans. Hungary,
Austria and* Germany—or the
Communist policies throughout
the world?”
Thomas, commenting on the for
mer vice-president’s speech in
Washington Monday night, told
him, “with a great many of your
specific proposals and with your,
estimate of the value of a third
party but not if it is Communist;
controlled, I am in agreement.
Emphatically. I agree that peace
must be sought boldly on better
lines than the Truman adminis
. tration is now following.”
“But I have grave doubts about
i your own program for peace.”
Thomas declared, adding that
Wallace might "possibly” remove
some of the doubts by answering
his questions. The New Republic
magazine, which Wallace edits,
said the letter had been received
but Wallace had not seen it.
The champion divers of the an
cient Olympics made their living
diving for sponges.

Aluminuni Canoe
I |
SEATTLE. i/P) — A post card j
came yesterday from two Univer- i
sity of Idaho students paddling
their way to Alaska in an alum-:
inum canoe.
Dated “Nanaimo, B. C., June
16” the card said “Still alive, still j
going north, still having fun, still
determined to paddle this canoe to,
Alaska.” r
The pair, Bob Miller and Les
Welch sent the card to Pat White,
of the state fisheries department,!
who sighted a canoe off Possession
Point, Whidby Island, while in a i
patrol boat about 5 a.m. June 11.
THE WK> R D "LOBBYIST"
came from the fact that the en
trance lobby of a legislative build
ing is open to the public and
serves as a convenient place for
interviews between legislators and
citizens, according to the Encyclo
paedia Brftannica.
Fearing the occupants we»e in
trouble he picked them up. They
were Miller and Welch.
“They were in dangerous wa
ters, the tide off the point is very
strong,” White said, ‘‘so I charted
a course on their map showing
them the least hazardous route for
their canoe.”
The students left Seattle June
10, with Juneau as their destina
tion.
