Marshall Plan
Faces Battle In
Special Session
WASHINGTON, (/P) _ Marshall
plan storm signals flew over Cap
itol Hill today, but administrative
leaders credited Soviet foreign
minister Molotov with unwitting
but powerful help in their pre-ses
sion drive for congressional ap
proval of a European recovery
program.
Molotov’s Moscow radio blast
at the United States, in which he
said that Russia’s struggle for
power “is just beginning,’ pin
pointed for many lawmakers the
anti-communist color of proposed
stop-gap and long-range economic
aid.
Senator McGrath (R.-R.I.) chair
man of the Democratic national
committee, said grimly that Molo
tov had defeated his own purpose
if it was his aim to discourage
American action to help the west
ern European nations outside the
Soviet orbit stay on their feet.
“Statements of this kind only
serve to solidify the American peo
ple, the Rhode Island Senator told
a reporter.
On the Republican side, Senator
Capper of Kansas, a foreign rela
tions committee member, said he
expects Congress answer will be
to approve the assistance program
which secretary of state Marshall
will sketch for Senate and House
committees Monday.
Lawmakers generally dismissed
as a bluff and a sop to home front
morale Molotov’s assertion that
atomic bomb secret “has long
ceased to exist.” The industrial
know-how for making the bombs
is still believed to be beyond the
1 Freight Rates Not
Responsible For
High Living C osts
O “
SEATTLE, (/P) — The govern
ment’s Alaska ship rate investiga
tion ended in Seattle Wednesday
with testimony by a steamship
company witness that current
freight rates are not responsible
for high prices in the Territory.
Dr. Henry A. Burd, University
of Washington marketing profes
sor, appearing for Alaska Steam
ship company, said a recent price
survey in Ketchikan, Juneau, Fair
banks and Anchorage disclosed
“no appreciable relation between
freight rates and the high cost of
living in Alaska.”
The maritime commission hear
ing, which began October 27, con
cluded with rebuttal testimony by
officials of Aleska Steamship com
pany and Alaska Transportation
company to earlier charges that j
ships sailed from Seattle only par-;
tially loaded.
Examiner Robert Furness, who I
finished up the case after exam-1
iner C. W. Robinson left for Los j
Angeles Tuesday set December 16 I
as the tentative date for filing of
briefs by representatives of all
parties concerned in the tariff |
case.
Russians.
But while the latest verbal shots
in the Moscow-Washington “cold
war” obviously helped cement a
growing Capitol Hill determina
tion to do something for faltering
European democracies, there was
plenty of evidence that methods,
procedures — and possibly the
amount of money to be spent—
will be argued long and loudly.

Threatens Closure
Of Seward Port
SEWARD, (A5)—A jurisdictional
dispute which closed this port last
winter threatened again yesterday
when members of the internation
| al longshoremen’s and warehouse
men’s union <CTO> halted unload
; ing of the freighter Ring Splice.
ILWU leaders said their mem
bers objected to the AFL-sailors
union of the Pacific being given
preference of ship hatches to un
load and they will no longer pro
, vide men for a SUP-manned
hatch. The SUP has been driving
the second winch.
Also sought in the walkout, they
said, is full-time pay for dispatch
ers now receiving only two hours
as called for in an agreement be
tween the ILWU and the Alaska
Steamship Co., effective Sept. 14.
Most of the civilian cargo had
been unloaded from the Ring
Splice when the walkout started,
and army cargo was to have been
removed yesterday.
The passenger ship Denali was
scheduled to arrive here yesterday
with 350 tons of freight.

Congress Will Not
Change Taft
Hartley Labor Law
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The door
to any major changes in the Taft
Hartley labor law by the next
Congress swung almost shut yes
terday.
Chairman Ball (R.-Minn.) told a
reporter he thinks it extremely un
likely that the joint Congressional
committee appointed to study re
visions in the act will find any
need for alterations.
While the committee’s decision
alone would not bind Congress,
the Minnesota Senator’s attitude
apparently reflects agreement with
that of Senator Taft (R.-Ohio), co
author of the law and chairman
of both the Senate labor and GOP
policy committees.
Between them, the two Senators
are conceded the power to block
Senate action and thus kill any ef
forts by others to meet the de
mand of organized labor leaders
for drastic revision of the act.
Ball said he thinks any “ambigu
ities’ ’that have cropped up can
be taken care of largely by admin
istrative decisions of the national
labor relations board.
