Gov. Stainhack
Turns To Govt.
Dock Operation
HONOLULU, i/P) — Hawaii’s
governor turned Saturday toward
government operation of docks as
a solution for the longshore strike
that has paralyzed ports in these
islands for 77 days.
G vernor Ingram M. Stain back
expects to call the Territorial leg
islature Tuesday into special ses
sion *o enact a dock seizure bill.
It v. .11 be the main measure in a
legislative program being drafted
to end the tie-up.
Government operation, said the
governor Friday, may be consid
ered as “union busting” by some
and “free enterprise busting” by
others. He added:
“Perhaps it may be both, but it
certainly would be citizen-saving.”
Jack Hall, leader of the 2.000
striking CIO stevedores, immedi
ately asserted the proposed legis
latin'1 “follows the employer line.”
Tht _ was no comment from em
ployers.

(By Mary Lee Council)
(Secretary to Delegate Bartlett)
WASHINGTON — Action by.
President Truman in signing a re
cently-enacted bill having to do
with suspension of assessment
work ort mining claims in the con
tinental United States has resulted
in a number of inquiries as to
such suspension in Alaska.
In the 80th Congress. Delegate
Bartlett was successful in getting
a bill through Congress suspend
ing assessment work on mining
claims located in the Territory un
til the period between Juyl 1, 1949
and July 1, 1950. Until the Presi
dent signed the recent bill apply
ing to the continental United ,
States, assessment work on mining i
claims located with the 48 States
had to be performed between the
period of July 1, 1948, and July
1, 1949. The laws on the books
now apply alike to assessment
work on mining claims whether
located in the States or in Alaska. I
Guam To Gel
Civilian Governor
WASHINGTON. I/P) — The in
terior department reported Friday
a civilian governor probably will
go to Guam next month. Guam’s
present governor and military
commander ol the Marianas, Rear
Adm. Charles A. Pownall, is to
retire Sept. 1.
James P. Davis, director of in
terior’s division of territories and
island possessions, told a reporter
plans are under way for a civilian
to succeed Pownall.
This, he said, would be the be
ginning of interior department as
sumption of Guam’s administra
tion. The navy has governed
Guam and American Samoa for
almost half a century.
The new governor would be
largely responsible. Davis said, for
building up a civilian staff that
can take over completely from the
navy next June 30.
President Truman informed the
secretaries of state, navy and in- j
terior in February, 1948, that upon I
approval of organic acts for the |
Pacific Islands, he planned to as- I
Crew Finds Out
Newly Built Dam
Really Works
MALTA, Mont., (/P> — Emil
Lundstrom’s dirt moving crew did
a good job on a livestock water
reservoir dam at a ranch near this
northern Montana town.
But tired crewmen went to bed
without moving their equipment
and camping outfit.
During the night a cloudburst
sent a flash flood down a canyon.
The dam worked so well a big
tractor -and other machinery soon
were under water.
A truck, buoyed up by a big
empty tank, was floating on the
new lake.
Now Lundstrom says he may
have to cut the dam open, let the
water out, dry his equipment and
start all over again—with definite
instructions to crewmen.
Meanwhile, he has the truck
tied to a tree to keep it from drift
ing around.
