One contracting firm in Seattle
has signed with the union and is
ready to load Alaska bound ships
as soon as they are available, an
aide said. He added that in Ta
com Alskan ships can be loaded by
AFL longshoremen, not involved
in the strike, but the operators of
the shipping service are not mov
ing any ships due to the CIO strike.
Bartlett’s office said the Dele
gate reported that lack of shipping
is delaying the government’s $200,

Warren loosed his most forceful
attack in Marion, Ohio, en route to
Detroit.
“They are not satisfied to run
their own way over in Russia,” he
declared. “They want to carry
their government by force and vio
lence, if necessary, to all the coun
tries of the world, including this
country.”
The Californian called the Taft
Hartley labor act “an honest ef
fort” to be fair to labor, manage
ment and the public and accused
Mr. Truman of taking a contradic
tory position on the law.
The President — author of the
“red herring” remark referred to .
by Dewey—turned the Warren ac- J
cusation in the other direction.
“It’s a case of double talk,” he
said at Oceanside, Calif., of the
GOP stand against him.
Progressive candidate Henry A.
Wallace mentioned Russia, too, but
he turned it into an attack on the
two major party nominees.
Russia may stifle freedom and
encourage dictatorship, he said in
Youngstown, Ohio, but those
charges are “at least equally true
of the present foreign policy of
Truman and Dewey.”
Big business was one of the
main targets of Mr. Truman’s vice
presidential candidate. Senator
Alben W. Barkley. The Kentuck
ian said one of the major current
dangers is the possibility of “a re
version to the old days of domina
tion of Ihis country by the private
interests:”

burn, now Democratic leader of
the House, told the San Antonio
dinner that a change in American
leadership would “make other na
tions think we have weakened in
our foreign policy.”
In his address at San Antonio,
Mr. Truman said “I always wish
one thing, and that's world peace.”
He said subsetantially the same
thing in an earlier talk before
some 25,000 people assembled in
front of the famed Alamo.
Dewey’s statement said “We
stand together to strengthen the
hands of those who speak and
work for us and for the cause of
peace in Paris.”
Dewey headed north into Oregon
and Washington with major
speeches scheduled at Portland this
afternoon and at Seattle tonight.
