Alaska Salmon
Finally Released
At Seattle
SEATTLE, (JP) — Alaska’s sal
mon pack, much of which has
moved no further south than Seat
tle because of the maritime strike,
got a lift today.
Under a special agreement,
1,250,000 cases of the canned sal
mon. cto**ed at two piers here, will
be loaded in freight cars and
moved east.
Officials said 33 per cent of this
salmon is earmarked for the gov
ernment.
The fish loading began when the
Salmon Terminals, Inc., agreed to
pav a 15-cents an hour increase of
AFL checkers. CIO longshoremen
previously had received this in
crease.
Shippers estimated today that j
there are 600,000 to 800,000 cases j
of salmon in the holds of strike
bound Seattle ships in addition to!
cases still awaiting shipment from ^
Alaska.

Navy Leaves For
Soutli Polar Region
(By Alton L. Blakeslee)
Aboard the U. S. S. Mt. Olym
pus at Norfolk, Va. —Operation
Hig.i Jump, the navy’s huge exoe
d.tion to the Sou'h Pilar regions,
prepared *o shove off today on a
1 l.OOO-mlle voyage for cold wea
ker tests and new explorations of
the mysteries of Antarctica.
Four ships, the Mt. Olympus,
headquarters and flag ship; the
ice breaker Northwind, seaplane
tender Pine Island, and destroyer
Brownson, are sailing simultane
ously with five ships from the
west coast.
Most of them carry supplies for
up to eight months — everything
from beef to coffee, movies and
candy, airplanes and 32 Husky
dogs. The 4,000 man operation un
der command of Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd will last at least
four months. Most of the men
board the Olympus appear enthu
siastic and interested.
The ships will sail into tropical
weather, then into frigid zones, ice
packs, past majestic icebergs that
many measure 40 miles long, and
probably blizzards and storms on
the world’s roughest sea, the Ant
arctic ocean.
The holes in Swiss cheese are
the result of bacterial action.

Longshoremen To
Ask Wage Review
SAN FRANCISCO </P)—A ship
owners’ spokesman said today the
international Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s union <CIO> has
given formal notice that it would
ask a wage review next Jan. 1.
The present contract provides that
wages may be “reviewed" on that
date,* he added.
Harry Bridges head of the
union, told a news conference in
Honolulu Saturday night that dis
cussions would begin this week
and that wage increases would be
asked for two reasons: increased
living costs, and to achieve parity
with east and gulf coast longshore
wage scale.
He specified no amount in an
nouncing the new demands, but
said that the east and gulf coast
scales were 13 cents an hour high
er than western lengshoremen’s
average of $1.52. One union source
said the requested boost might be
23 percent.
The western longshoremen re
turned to work Nov. 23 in most
west coast ports after a 54-day
strike.
