The union leaders were out for
the scalp of Charles E. Wilson, di
rector o. me office of defense mo
bilization. They claimed he was
running the program for his busi
ness and excluding labor.
Buc x resident Truman, at his
news conference yesterday morn
ing, said Wilson will remain as
mobilization director despite la
bor’s walkout. The President in
dicated he felt no sence of crisis.
The decision to boycott the de
fense program was made Wednes
day night by the United Labor
Policy committee and was en
dorsed by some of labor’s biggest
names, including AFL president
William Green and CIO president
Philip Murray.
The committee protested against
“legalized robbery” in price con
trol, “unjust” wage ceilings, and
“big business” domination of the
defense effort.

mobilization agencies carried the
implication of widespread indus
trial unrest, President Truman

the vital protection against attack.
Mr. Polet suggested that a large,
“utilidoor” be built, commencing
at the Nome School and extending
to Front St., with openings at in
tersections and to the sea; Front
St. to Steadman, also on First
Ave. W., Hunter Way and Federal
Way. This would serve a double
purpose—as air raid shelter apd
for the protection of utilities, fire
and water mains. He stated that
there were funds to finance the
much-needed project.
The preliminary plan for evac
uation was presented by Eric Hay
with these points:
1. Families stay together.
2. Amount of baggage to be an
nounced later.
3. Loading stations as follows:
ANS School Blgd. for those in
Zones 1 and 2. Nome School for
those in Zones 3 and 4. federal
Bldg, for those in Zones 5 and 6.
Lomen warehouse area near pow-.
er plant for those in Zone 7.
Transportation will first load
hospital patients. There will be a
walkie-talkie at each loading sta
tion, operating through Defense
headquarters.
Wardens’ Service will patrol
city to see that it is evacuated and
to prevent pilfering.

A broad varie.y of products will
bp shown to Alaskan buyers, in
cluding office equipment and sup
plies, wearing apparel, had lines,
builders hardwar d p Aiding,
dry goods and food specialties.
The show, according to Garcia, is
tailored to meet Alaskan buying
conditions.
One advantage to buyers, as
pointed out by Garcia, is that
seasonal items can be bought on
the spot, without waiting for a
representative to call on his not
too frequent territorial trips. An
other advantage is the variety ef
styles at competitive prices in
quality to satisfy the most dis
criminating purchaser.
