DISABLED NAVY PLANE
COMPLETES FLIGHT
SEATTLE, </P) — A brisk tail
wind helped a partly disabled
l'our-engined navy transport plane
along the last 930 miles of its trip
with 21 passengers from Kodiak
to Seattle last night.
One engine blew an oil plug
over Queen Charlotte island, and
the plane continued here on the
remaining three engines.
The coast guard sent a sea plane
to escort the crippled navy R5D
and escorted it from Vancouver,
B. C.
Lt. <jg) C. C. Windsor, the pilot,
called the trip “unexciting.” He
said neither crew nor passengers
were alarmed greatly.
There were 117,500 Chinese in
the Philippines, 29,000 Japanese
8,700 Americans and 4,600 Span
iards, at the outbreak of the war.
ed the plane may have been off i
its course and possibly was trying '
for an emergency landing at an!
airport near Bari. The plane was

Leader of the CIO workers is |
John Wiese, president of the west
ern Alaska fisheries council, a CIO
affiliate.
Steele Culbertson, representa
tive of the Alaska Salmon Indus
try, is due here Monday to renew
negotiations for a contract with
CIO unions.
Wiese, meanwhile, indicated a
strike may be called “about Sat
urday.”
The CIO members now are
working without a 1949 contract.
AFL unions, which have already
signed contracts for this year,
have announced intentions of
working without interruption.
“CIO fishermen and cannery
workers had the opportunity to
settle on the same terms the AFL
did,” Owen said. "These terms
provide moderate increases in the
face of a falling salmon market.
In fact, they could have settled at
the same time.”
The rank and file CIO members
who pay dues and do the actual
fishing cannot be criticized. It is
their disruptive leadership which
is wholly to blame.
“Anyone who is influenced or
led by such propaganda is allow
ing himself to be led into poverty
and want, because the fishing sea
son is already so short that no one
can afford to lose any part of it.”
Fight For Stassen
And Warren As
GOP Chairman
(Continued from Page One)
Keenan also was aiming at GOP
national chairman Hugh D. Scott,
Jr., here for the sessions, when the
AFL official asserted in a pre
pared talk:
“If recent elections have indi
cated that the majority of Ameri
can voters feel that the Republi
can party and its candidates show
a lack of responsibility for the
public welfare, it is because Re
publican leaders and many Re
publican candidates have turned a
deaf ear to the urgent requests of
! the American people.”
Keenan’s scolding, howev e r ,
was overshadowed by the battle
for the chairmanship between
candidates connected in the past
with Warren, the 194*8 vice presi
dential nominee, and Stassen, for
mer Minnesota governor and now
president of the University of
Pennsylvania.
Warren packers were lining up
behind Lauglin E. Waters, Cali
fornia state legislator who has
been helping carry the ball for
Warren’s tax program in his state.
Waters’ opponents charge, how
ever, that he has been hand-pick
ed by Republican national com
mittee leaders, including Scott, for
the chairmanship.
That's a tough charge in this
convention, where the sentiment
seems almost unanimous that the
