Army Transport
Splits Plates At
Whittier Dock
SEATTLE, tiP)—An army trans
port with 365 persons aboard split
its plates above the water line af
ter docking at Whittier, Alaska,
Saturday at the end of a storm
battered voyage from Adak in the
outer Aleutians
The Seattle port of embarkation
said the USAT Sgt. Charles E.
Mower developed a 9-foot long
vertical crack on the starboard
side near the stern. The plates
popped apart 30 minutes after the
transport put into Whittier, on
Prince Williams Sound about 50
miles southeast of Anchorage.
The ship was reported in no
immediate danger and all persons
remained aboard. The army said
safety precautions have been
taken.
Gales and heavy seas wracked
| the vessel on its regular shuttle
run last week between Whittier
and Adak. The Sgt. Mower is a
C-2 type—the smaller army
j transports. It has a crew of 125.
The USAT Sen. LeRoy Eltinge
is enroute to Whittier from Seattle
to take off the 190 first class pas
sengers, including women and
children, and the 50 military per
sonnel. They will be brought here.
Repairs to the damaged trans
port will be made at Whittier.
The Coast Guard, once known
as the Revenue Cutter Service,
was founded in 1790. while the
present navy was established in
1799.

ley act new meetings would be
held. The settlement also calls for
increased vacation benefits, a nine
hour work shift, an 8 a.m. starting
time, a’designated day off each
week and improved grievance ma
chinery. The national CIO and the
San Francisco employers council
will underwrite the new pact to
avoid violations. Arbi t r a t i o n
groups are set up to handle local
disputes.
Actual balloting on the final
contract will be taken after the
men return to work.
Three unions still have no con-'
tract—the CIO marine cooks, the
unaffiliated marine firemen and
the CIO radio operators. The long
shoremen will remain off the job
until all reach agreement with the
employers.
Omar Hoskins, federal concilia

already has been made in negotia

have been continuing with all
three unions.
Another snag is Berry Lund

left to the judgment of the Repub
lican party officials of the several

McIntyre Fairies, California’s
national GOP committee, asked
for a s!udy of the California pres

Fairies said he made the request

requests had been made on GOP
party officials in Ohio and Illinois.
Scott declined to say whether
he had written letters to GOP na
tional committeemen.
