and now seeks bargaining rights
it had held for 15 years.
Meanwhile, members of the
CIO longshoremen’s union re
fused to load cargo for the sal- 1
mon industry aboard the Alaska
Steamship company’s “Square
Knot”.
The shipping firm reported
three gangs of longshoremen '
walked off the ship at 7:30 p.m , !
a half hour after their shift star- |
ted. They had been instructed to
load cargo on the ship.
“They went aboard the ship, al
right, and took off two hatch cov
ers.” said D. E. Skinner, Alaska
Steamship’s general manager.
“They saw two bull drivers (lift
truck operators> walk off the
dock. So they walked off, too.
There should be no question in
anyone’s mind now that the Al
aska Steamship Co. cannot load
cannery cargo for Alaska.”
Bill Gettings, regional long
shoremen’s union chief, said:
“The union will not violate any
laws. But the union has no way
to force its individual members to
work if they choose not to. As
long as they are members of a
free democratic union, they have
the right to work or not to woi>,
as their own conscience might
dictate.”
Skinner said the ship will sail
tomorrow. He added that there is
no point in anyone sending can
nery cm go to the pier to pile ip
end clog other Alaska cargoes.

Mental Health
Plans Discussed
By Health Dept.
JUNEAU, May 27—Plans for
inclusion of a section of Mental
Health in the Alaska Department
of Health program were discussed
during the Mental Health Insti
tute in session here since Wednes
day. The Mental Health program
would be under the direction of
the Alaska Board of Health and
administered through the Health
department, according to Dr. C.
Earl Albrecht, commissioner of
health.
Dr. Kent Zimmerman, psychi
atric consultant with the Califor
nia State Department of Health,
conducted the four-day instiLute
which was attended by some 75
administrative and supervisory
staff members of the Welfare and
Education departments, Alaska
Native Service, and Veterans Ad
ministration in addition to Health
department personnel.
Lack of facilities for treatment
of Alaska's mentally ill was stress
ed in a study made last year by
three special Interior department
investigators in which it was rec
ommended that hospital and clin
ic care for mental patient.; be
made available in Alaska.
Dr. Zimmerman explained ways
in which present Health staff
members can carry on work in
preparation for development of
a comprehensive mental hygiene
program in the territory.
Dr. Zimmerman suggested that
as a beginning a mental health
specialist be employed. “You can
teach each other as you pool re
sults of your individual studies,
and he can teach you all,” the
psychiatrist suggested. A basic
mental health team comprised of
a psychiatrist, a clinical psycholo
gist and a psychiatric social work
er was suggested as a more com
plete beginning unit.
