of India sent in Sikhs to reinforce
the Kashmir State army of 10.000.
The Indians, the informants
said, have been pushed back in
the Kashmir valley to a point less
than 20 miles from the capital—a
12-mile retreat since the outbreak
of the hostilities, sparked by the
decision of Kashmir’s ruler to ac
cede to India. The Princely
State’s population is predominant
ly Moslem.
Fifteen Royal Air Force Dako
tas were expected to complete
evacuation yesterday of from 200
to 250 British civilians — mostly
retired civil servants, vacationists j
and children—from Kashmir.
A Bombay dispatch said four'
air lines—Air India, Air Services
of India, Mistri Airways and Am- J
bica Airlines—suspended service
from Bombay because all planes
were commandeered by India’s
government.

maritime commission,” have cut
into the Southeastern Alaska
trade.
“They started during a three
months tie-up in die ports of
Ketchikan and Juneau a year ago
• and have been updating ever
' since," Skinner said.
The commission is trying to de
termine if the 35 per cent rate in
crease it allowed under the inter
im shipping agreement, which ex
pires June 30, 1048, shduld be
continued.
Territorial spokesmen contend
that the rates are too high. The
steamship companies assert that
the current rates are necessary for
continued operation.
Skinner said that there had been
insufficient time, partially due to
a second tie-up this year jn Ketch
ikan and Juneau of six weeks du
ration to properly judge whether
the rates are reasonable and justi
fied.
i Three Seattle lines, the Alaska
Steamship Company, Northland
Transportation Company and
Alaska Transportation company,
are Alaska shippers under the in
terim contract.
Attorneys for the three lines
cross-examined witnesses yester
day on testimony entered Monday
and Tuesday, with Alaska Steam
ship and Northland on one side |
and Alaska Transportation on the
other.
Ira Ewers. Alaska Steamship at
torney, explained that he was
“trying to test the integrity” of the
exhibits.
Skinner, who was on the stand
a good part of Wednesday was
questioned at length by Albert E.
Stephan, attorney for Alaska
Transportation. Stephan brought
out testimony to show that Alaska
Steamship and Northland are
owned and controlled by Skinner
and his associates.

Gov. William Preston Lane, Jr., of
Maryland. ,
There undoubtedly will be oth
ers, and none present Wednesday
would \ atiture a guess as to who
might have the edge. Mr. Truman
is represented as yet to make a
choice.
Former Gov. John J. Dempsey
of New Mexico, national commit
eeman for his state, told a report
er he had heard much talk of For
restal. »
These mentioning Douglas said
he is more or less favored by what
hey called “Democratic liberals.”
A native of Minnesota, Douglas
went to college in Washington
State, later taught at Yale and
then became head of the federal
securities and exchange commis
sion before going ot the Supreme
Court bench.
Westerners talked of Wallgren,
a former Senator and close friend
of Mr. Truman. One committee of
ficer said the name of Lane, a
Hagerstown, Md., publisher, had
been mentioned favorably by
some westerners who said he had
made an impression at governors’
conference. Lane was elected to
his first term as governer last No
vember.
McGrath, authorized to name
the convention date, said he
thought it would be sometime af
ter July 4.
Ewers and attorney Stanley B.
Long, also representing Alaska. I
frequently objected to Stephans’!
line of inquiry, asserting it was;
irrelevant.
In several instances, examiner!
C. W. Robinson sustained the ob- j
jections, asking all parties to stick 1
to the rate issue.
