No Temporary i
Freeze Now On
Wages and Prices
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Major la
bor leaders said yesterday the gov
ernment must mould a wage-price
policy flexible enough to work for
s decade.
They gave appraisal to the wage
stabilization board, an arm of the
Economic Stabilization Agency
which announced Wedne s d a y
night that it will not now put into
effect a temporary 30-day freeze,
on prices and wages.
That left the controls situation'
as indefinite as it was a week or
so ago before ESA began giving
serious study to the wisdom of ap
plying an immediate interim
freeze in advance of more perman
ent controls.
The appeal for a long-range
policy came from spokesmen for
the AFL, CIO, machinists and rail
road unions, joining in testimony
•as they United Labor Policy Com
mittee. They said the present
emergency may stretch on indef
initely, and “we’re not planning
for a short term situation.”
The group represented all major
elements of the organized labor
movement except John L. Lewis,
United Mine Workers chief, who
was heard separately by the wage
board Wednesday.
•He advised against any kind of
wage or price controls.
In dropping for the present the
idea of an immediate price-wage
freeze, Valentine acceded to the
judgment of those advisers who

CHICAGO, (;P)—The death of a
gorilla—on ordinary ape—tout the
world-famous Bushman, who was
Chicago's biggest single attraction,
saddened thousands of children
yesterday.
The old and ailing ape, who for
20 years thrilled millions of zoo
visitors!! died on New Year's
morning of a heart ailment.
In his prime, Bushman weighed
550 pounds. He was 6 feet 2
inches tall and 22 years old—the
largest and oldest gorilla in cap
tivity. He had lost about 100
pounds since he became ill.
He was brought to the Lincoln
Park zoo 20 years ago—weighing
38 pounds.
In 1946 the American Associa
tion of Zoological Parks and Aqua
riums termed Bushman “the most
outstanding animal of any zoo in
the world, and the most valuable.”
believe general price controls
would be unwise until there is a
bigger staff to administer them.

U. S. Asks U. N. To
Name Communist
China Aggressor
(By Max Harrelson)
LAKE SUCCESS, {IP) — The
United States finally has brought
into the open a four-point plan
which it hopes the United Nations
will adopt as its answer to com
munist China’s intervention in Ko
rea.
The U. S. proposal calling for
condemnation of the Peiping re
gime as an aggressor, was out
lined by America’s chief delegate,
Warren R. Austin, in a speech at
Atlantic City, N. J., last night.
Austin said the U. S. is trying to
line up strong support for the pro
posal and he expressed the belief
it would succeed
Although the American proposal
has not yet been formalized into a
resolution, its main points call for:
1. A finding that the Chinese
Reds had flouted U. N. authority
and committed aggression against
Korea.
2. A re-affirmation of U. N. pur
poses in Korea, calling for with
drawal of the invader and for all
.
U. N. members to refrain from as
| sisting the aggressor.
3. A call to each member to sup
port action decided upon by the U.
N. in proportion to the nation’s
ability.
4. A move to put to work imme
diately the collective measures
committee to consider the means
to meet existing aggression and
prevent further aggression.
_________
it was expressed that the next
meeting will bring completed out
lines for the other divisions of the
program.

When Will CAB
Act On Additional
Service to Alaska?
SEATTLE, (/P)—One of the big
gest “mysteries” in Seattle com
mercial-aviation circles these win
ter days concerns the civil aero
nautics board’s Alaska service
case. . .
More than a year ago, William
F. Cusick, a CAB examiner, re
commended to the board that ad
ditional scheduled air service be
tween Seattle and Alaska be ap
proved to accommodate the rapid
ly expanding passenger and cargo
traffic between Seattle and the
Territory.
The “mystery”, Alaskans say, is
why the board has not yet an
nounced a decision on a case
which is important not only to the
Pacific Northwest and Alaska but
to the entire national defense ef
fort.
The board, in a series of exemp
tion orders the past two years, has
confirmed the need for additional
scheduled air service to the Terri
j tory. It permitted Pan American
Airways to fly directly to Anchor
age during the height of the 1950
fishing season, and it also ap
proved direct flights of Pacific
Northern Airlines from Juneau to
Seattle.
The decision was expected last
May, in time for the carriers to
| ready plans for the heavy traffic
|of the summer. Now airline offi-,
cials hope for an announcement
before this spring, so they can
plan for the 1951 summer haul.
