Gen. Wainwrijjlit
Defends Gen. King
SAN ANTONIO Tex. Uh—Gen
eral Jona han M. Wainwright, IJ.
S. A. retired, yesterday denied a
statement that Lt. Gen. Edward P.
King surrendered defending forces
on Bataan against YVainwright’s
orders.
The talement was made Wed
nesday by Dr. Louis Morton, chiei
of the historical division of the
army’s Pacific section. He told a
group of historians gathered in
Seattle that King had disobeyed
Wainwright’s orders to continue
defending Bataan in^ 1942.
“I flatly deny that General King
ever disobeyed any order from
me.” Wainwright told a news con
ference. “I think Professor Mor
ton. or whoever he is. is not fully
informed on the matter."
WASHINGTON. <A>) — Senator
Magnuson <D.-Wash.» said yester
day he wants a foreign trade zone
established in Seattle and con
struction of a rail link to Alaska.
“Regional development and de
fense requirements,” he said, “are
certain to focus attention on a
proposed railroad through western
Canada from the Sta'es t<> Alas

W ill Make Leather
From Salmon Skin
tELLINGHAM. Wash. <.4h —
i c ther from salmc*n skin—Pa
c..e American Fisheries has an
i ) need the new product as tl*e
lit 'st for milady’s shoes and
handbags.
The big salmon canning con
cern reported the new-type lea
ther as a by-product in its new
pr cess of preserving the fish with
both the skin and the backbone
removed. Invention of skinning
an i boning machines was a devel
opment in the food processing
technique.
An ingenious attachment re
moves a thin layer of skin with
the fish sc; les. T ie firm described
the resulting ;e:.ther as smooth,
pliable and non-porous. It can be
tanned and dyed.
Skins of the Pacific coast sal
mon are large enough to give them
an edge over reptile skins for
handling, P. A. F. said they also
are thicker than reptile skins.
The skinning and boning ma
chines were used in four Alaska
canneries of the firm this year—
Kasiff, King Cove, Alitak and
Nushgak—and for a smaller pack
in the Friday ^arbor packing
company’s plant on Whidbey Is
land.

Ousts Joe Slack
;;i;\V YORK. (.4*)- The CIO na
tional maritime union has ordered
the expulsion of Joseph Stack,
one-time vice-president ol the
union and leader of its left-wing
faction.
Stack’s ouster was ordered at an
NMU membership meeting Mon
day night which also upheld the
expulsion of two women members
and one-vear suspensions meted
\
out to four seamen.
By an announced 1,172 to t>G7
vote, N'MU members backed the
report of a trial committee which
had found Stack guilty of disrup
tion and anti-union activity.
A demand by the deponed un
ion leader that he be given a vote
recount was ignored in the turbu
lent session. Stack called the ac
tion ‘‘highway robbery.”
I NMU president Joseph Curran,
right-wing opponent of Stack, said
! that he had asked the membership
to take such action ‘‘and they did
| it.”
The two ousted women—ac
cused of participating in an ille
gal membership meeting last
month—are Ann Conroy and Rose
Shovel, ship’s stewardesses.
The four suspended seamen also
were fined $100 each for distrib
uting allegedly slanderou litera
ture.
