Alaska Passenger
Ships Equipped
With Radar
SEATTLE, </P>—With the entire
Alaska passenger fleet now equip
ped with radar, Alaska Steamship
company officials reported today
that the 77-year-old Victoria is the
first freighter to get the war-de
veloped equipment under its ra
dar installation program.
It’s keeping the old girl oi the
north Pacific fleet right up to
date. The venerable Victoria 5s
generally conceded to be one of the
oldest, if not the oldest, iron,
steamship still plying in commer
cial trade. It was built in Scotland
in 1870.
The passenger ship Denali sa^S;
today on her first run under the
protection of radar, and the Aleu
tian will make her radar debut to
morrow. The Baranof is on ner
second trip with radar. *

Railroads Demand
10% Freight Hike
WASHINGTON. (>P) — Jacob
Aronson, chief counsel for the na
tion’s railroads, contended yester
day that an immediate 10 per cent
increase in freight rates is the
least amount needed to keep the
carriers operating at a profit the
rest of the year.
Aronson, who is vice-president
and general counsel of the New
York Central system, opened fi
nal arguments before the Inter
state Commerce Commission on
the railroad5s plea for an emer
gency 10 per cent increase in
freight rates pending decision on
a requested 27 per cent permanent
boost.
The oral arguments for the car
riers and objecting shippers ivei
expected to take about two days.
PENNYCOOKS RETURN FROM
VACATION IN SCOTLAND
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pennycook
returned Tuesday from their trip
to Glasgow, Scotland, where they
have spent six weeks visiting with
relatives and freinds whom they
had not seen for many years. #
They state that food is still ra
tioned and many things are more
scarce than during the war. One
egg a week is all that the Scotch
people are allowed and a week’s
ration of meat, invariably mutton,
is an average American’s daily
fare.
The Pennycooks were kept on
the go seeing various parts of
Scotland, such as Dundee and
Newtyle, and visiting old friends
and landmarks, including an old
retired Alaskan, former friend of
Mr. Pennycook in the early days, i
They also spent two weeks in
Montreal and two weeks in Van
couver. On their return they came
by boat from Vancouver to White-;
horse and on the highway from |
Whitehorse to Fairbanks. They
stated that the highway is in ex
cellent condition.
They are making their home in;
the Rydeen residence on First ave. i
!
company's S. S. Alaska was the
first of the passenger ships to be
equipped with the device which
shipping officials expect to reduce
greatly the hazards of Alaska
shipping.
Sen. Flanders Says
Coal Contraet Was
“Appeasement”
WASHINGTON (A*) — Senator
Flanders (R.-Vt.) declared yester
day that if industry as a whole
copies the “appeasemetfl” of John
L. Lewis by coal and steel men,
the government “will be forced to
step in” with controls over wages,
prices and profits.
The New England manufacturer
and lawmaker said there was an
“ominous parallel” between “The
Munich pact with the Nazis” and
the contract which the united
mine workers won from northern
mine owners and the U. S. Steel
corporation.
In each case, he asserted in an
address prepared for the secon I
economic institute of the United
States chamber of commerce,
“peace has been purchased, but
at too high a price to be repeated.”
Flanders, who heads one of
three Senate-House sub-commit
tees investigating high prices in
various sections of the country,
said that these business men who
now were “charging what the
market will bear” are building up
a threat of “losses and bankrupt
cy in the future.”
“Run-away prices” Flanders
said, “will not only hasten the
coming of a depression but also
greatly increase its severity.”
Midgets Protest
Long Skirts
HOLLYWOOD, <£>)—Striking a
blow for liberation of the female
leg, four-foot six-inch George Ha
vens yesterday launched a cam
paign to interest brother members
of Hollywood’s midget colony in
picketing downtown stores which
advertise the new long dresses.
“This is the most vital question
to confront midgets in years,” said
Havens. “It’s discrimination
against a minority. The new styles
give all the advantage to six
footers. Designers have promised
that as the hems drop, so will the
necklines—but what good is that
to a midget?”
The highest altitude in North
America is Mount McKinley. Alas
ka, which is 20,300 feet.

“Show Me” Savs
Congress About
Special Session
_
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Republi
can Congressional leaders adopted
a “show me” attitude today on the
Question of a special session of
, Congress.
One of the first things President
Truman is expected to do when
he arrives here tomorrow follow
ing his trip to South America is
review the foreign situation with
top diplomatic advisers, who al
ready have indicated their belief
that Congress will have to deal
with it before the end of this year.
Joseph W. Martin, Jr., speaker
of the House, told a news confer
ence yesterday he sees no reason
for a special session to consider
further aid for Europe before ‘.he
next scheduled meeting of the leg
islators on Jan. 3.
He said information of his own
“from very good sources” indi
cated there is “no immediate dan
ger” in the foreign situation.
Secretary of State Marshall and
undersecretary Lovett have inti
mated strongly that affairs abroad
are so critical that a solution can
not be put off until January.
Martin, however, said he is in
formed that except in remote cases
Europe has good crops this year
and there should be no severe food
shortages.
