Kodiak Dockwork
Stopped - Strike
KODIAK,Alaska, (£*)—The steam
er Lakina, first food ship to
reach Kodiak since March 29, sail
ed away with half of its local
consignment still aboard as Ko
diak residents watched hungrily
from the dock.
The vessel stopped unloading
cargo when an overtime pay dis
pute arose between dock oper
ators and agents for the vessel
—the former holding that the
ship's owners should pay part
of the overtime wages earned by
longshoremen after 4 p.m. and
on week-ends
All the meat and most of the
fresh garden foods destined for
Kodiak remained aboard as the
Lakina sailed. Its officers said
the ship would call at cannery
i>orts and attempt to discharge
the remainder of the cargo later.

all the way to Fairbanks, but not
under their own power. If they
like it, there they may hatch out
a new industry for the Territory.
Lorin Oldroyd, of the Univer

flown in by airplane and said they
would be used to launch Alaska’s
first controlled turkey raising test.

State Department
Endorses Tokyo
U. S. Diplomat
The State Department endorsed
the declaration of its ranking
diplomat to Tokyo, that this coun
try doesn’t favor communism
either in the United States or in
Japan.
Acting Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, in response to a news
conference inquiry read the text
of a statement at the Allied Coun
cil in Tokyo Wednesday, by
George Atcheson Jr., council
cil chairman and General MacAr
thur’s diplomatic adviser.
Lt. Gen. Deevyanko, the Russian
council member, demanded of
MacArthur’s headquarters, infor- j
mation and charges contained in
the May-day message to the coun- j
cil, in which Atcheson described i
an attempt to “spread communist
ic propaganda.”
A well known sales executive
fell in love with a night club
cigarette girl and decided to mar- J
ry her. For the sake of prudence j
he hired a private dick to get I
a character report on her. The
operator’s report read:
“This lady has a fine reputa
tino. Her past is without a blem
ish; she has a circle of impec
cable friends. The only breath l
of scandal is that lately she’s
•been going around with a sales
executive of doubtful reputation.” j

The nation's largest war producer made less money during the war
than before. Average net sales and average pay rolls for the war years
1942-1944 in General Motors were much more than double the average
of the seven preceding peacetime years, yet the wartime voluntary
profit limitation policy of the company resulted in a lower net profit—
$141 million yearly average in the war period as against $184 million
is peacetime. Yearly average pay rolls nearly tripled in wartime—
$1,187 million as against $432 million. These results are cited by GM
officials in answering onion charges of excessive war profits and
onion demands for large wage increases.
