Mrs. Roosevelt
Doubts There Is
Mueli Disloyalty
J w
NEW YORK, (IP)—Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt says she does not
believe there is very much “actual
disloyalty” in our country.
The former First Lady, speak
ing on her CBS television show
last night, also said she is “very
happy” about the kind of testi
mony being used by the govern
ment in cases of suspected sub
versive activity.
Mrs. Roosevelt was in ai forum
type debate with Sen. Owen
Brewster (R.-Me.) on the subject
‘(What Does Disloyalty to the
United States mean?”
At one point in the debate Sen.
Brewster recalled that Mrs.
Roosevelt had expressed doubt of
Alger Hiss’ guilt after he was con
victed of perjury for denying he
had given pre-war secrets to the
Soviet Union.
“Alger Hiss was never a friend
of mine,” she replied. “I hardly
knew him. ... I knew him fairly
well, but in a perfectly objective
way.”
Don’t Criticize
Budget, It’s Making
U. S. Prosperous
Fort Peck Dam, Mont. (JP) —
President Truman said Saturday
that the government’svast flood
control and power program is
helping build the “strongest and
more prosperous United States”
upon which depends “the world’s
best hope for peace.”
Mr. Truman appeared more
peppery than most of the people
on his cross-country tour as he
started out on another day of
day of “non-political” stumping
with a prepared speech at the big
Fort Peck Dam.
"Projects like Fort Peck are in
vestments in the future of our
country,” the President asserted.
“Just as a new factory is an in
vestment in the future of a cor
poration.”
He said people who “criticize
the federal budget often overlook
facts like these.”
As he has done since he statred
his personal “report to the people”
at whistle stops through the mid
west to the Pacific Northwest, the
President contended his domestic
program is strengthening the
country for its leadership of free
nations.
Beware Of Alaska [
Jobs Advertised
_
FAIRBANKS, i/P) — A warning {
to workers in the States against
being a “sucker” for Alaska job
advertisements came Saturd a y
from the Territorial Employment
Service.
The advice was directed against
advertisements in the States for
the sale of job information for
fees of $1 and $2.
The Employment Service said
the only authentic information on
work in Alaska is free of charge
at the Public Information Service
or at craft union headquarters in
Alaska localities.
A service spokesman said there
are so many workmen in Alaska
already that the peak of the sum
mer employment season probably
will fail to give jobs to all of
them.
In spite of warnings against
coming to Alaska without jobs,
500 new applicants signed up in '
April for non-existent jobs. Indi
cations are for the same influx in
May.
Approximately one-fifth of the
newcomers have been women in
search of clerical or waitress jobs
for which there are no openings.

300 feet above the Horseshoe or

Sedita fastened a rope around
his waist and waded into the swift
current. He was swept off his feet.
Paonessa hauled him back.
The Bell Aircraft corporation
then dispatched Owen Q. Niehaus,

a helicopter.
The pontoon-equipped cr a f t ,
landed on the water near the wo- j
man but nosed over. Both Niehaus
and Cannon were pitched into the
river. They struggled back aboard.
The helicopter drifted toward the
cataract. It caught on a rock, how
ever, and the men managed to
lash Mrs. Bugay to the undercar
riage while they awaited help. I
Shore rescuers twice tried un
successfully to get a rowboat to
them, then summoned another i
helicopter.
The second helicopter arrived,
hovered low enough to drop one
end of a rope ashore and then
dropped the other end to the
stranded pilots. The rope then was
used to pull the rowboat to the i
wrecked helicopter. First ashore
were Mrs. Bugay and Niehaus. ;
Cannon made it in the second trip. :

flung American bases and the
maintenance workers, members of
the same union, refused to cross
them.
The company said supervisory
employees had taken over main
tenance work.
The airline operates a fleet of
140 planes. It has a total of 14,000
employees.
NEW YORK, (/Pi — The first
steps to pick federal arbitrators
to settle the contract dispute be
tween Pan American Airways and
the CIO Transport Workers un
ion will begin this week.
A company spokesman said
however, that the final selection
of the three-man board may take
several weeks in all.
An agreement late Saturday to
arbitrate ended a brief strike of
700 stewards, stewardesses and
pursers that began shortly after
midnight Friday. Other union
members, including nearly 3,000
maintenance men in the com
pany’s ground crews, had honored
the picket lines and refused to
work.
The dispute was principally
over a union demand for an $8 a
month pay raise, a system-wide
seniority program, and increased
severance pay. The union also de
manded that the company main
tain a contract clause giving
American workers preference over
foreign employees in job open
ings.
The new contract, when signed,
will be retroactive to March 1
this year and will run to Oct. 1
next year.
