Stewards Won’t
Sign Articles; Halt
Ships Sailings
SEATTLE (/P)—Signing of stew
ards for two Alaska Steamship
company vessels was delayed to
day while the stewards awaited
results of a conference in San
Francisco.
i
The member sof the Marine
Cooks and Stewards’ Union (CIO)
said the delay was caused by the
same thing that held up another
another of the company’s ships for
24 hours last week. They objected
then to the coast guard’s method
of reviewing sea papers of mem
bers in a security check.
The Steamship Alaska finally
sailed when it was agreed to dis
cuss the matter in San Francisco
with representatives of the Pa
cific Maritime Association.
Vessels affected by the current
union balk are the freighter Vic
toria and the passenger steamer
Denali. The Victoria requires 8
cooks and stewards and the De
nali 60.
The San Francisco conferences
opened Monday.
Army Casualties
2,616 In Korea
WASHINGTON (>P)—'The army
announced today that its Korean
war casualties reported to famil
ies and released for publication
through August 6 totaled 2,616.
There are additional casualty
lists, awaiting release after noti
fication of families.
Today’s total covered only army
personnel. Losses with other serv
ices have been relatively light.
The breakdown of those casual
ties released for use shows 153
killed, 1,590 wounded and 873
missing, spokesmen said.
The army said it was not trying
to hide anything. We are trying to
handle casualty notifications in a
dignified and considerate way.”
The subject of casualty count
fame up at the briefing because
of a report by columnist Drew
Pearson that the casualty total up
to August 1 was 660 killed, 2,975
Technicality Halts
Lihel Suit Against
News-Miner
FAIRBANKS, (JP)—A technical
ity dissolved a $50,000 libel suit
against the Fairbanks News
Miner’s owner, the Tanana Pub
lishing Co., Friday.
District Court Judge Harry E.
Pratt dismissed the suit, which
had been brought by Golden North
Airways, Inc.
Motion for dismissal was
brought by Maurice T. Johnson,
publishing company counsel, on
the technical ground that plaintiff
had failed to allege in the com
plaint that it had filed its last an
nual corporation report to the Ter
ritory, and had failed to allege it
paid its last corporation tax.
Warren A. Taylor, representing
the airlines, argued that new fed
eral rules do not provide specifi
cally for filing of such allegations.
Judge Pratt held that federal
rules no not repeal any Territorial
statutes, and that filing of such
information is mandatory under
Territorial law.
Taylor said an amended suit
will be filed.
The complaint was aimed at an
editorial printed in the News
Miner which dealt with operation
of non-scheduled air carriers in
Alaska.
The editorial had appeared in
the Daily Alaska Empire, publish
ed in Juneau, and was reprinted
later in the Fairbanks paper.
PARIS, i/P) — The Ministry of
Interior has banned sale and dis
tribution of the Italian Commun
ist newspaper “Unita” in France.
* 0
wounded and 3,000 “actually miss
ing in action.”
Pearson wrote that he had seen
“the secret casualty list kept by
the army surgeon general’s office."
The army spokesman said in
answer to question, that the totals
given by Pearson “do not agree
with casualty lists I have seen.”
Replying to a spcific question
about a “secret list,” the spokes
man added that it is the army’s
adjutant general that handles
casualty reports. .
