Pineapple Crop
HONOLULU, iJP)—'The greater
part of Hawaii’s industry faced
possible shutdown today as strik
ing pineapple workers prepared
to ask support from all Territorial
units of the CIO international
longshoremen’s and warehouse
men’s union “in an effort to resist
an employer lockout.’
Robert McElrath, ILWU Terri
torial representative, said “full
and immediate support” of other
units—sugar workers and long
shoremen would be sought at a
meeting of the ILWU Territorial
committee today.
His statement followed a pre
diction by federal conciliator Na
then P. Feinsinger that the four
day pineapple strike “will sooner i
or later affect the sugar industry.”
“The net result,” he advised sec
retary of labor Schwellenbach,
“will* be to throttle substantially
all major economic activities of
the Territory. ...”
Feinsinger, who said he would
leave for San Francisco today,
told newsmen the ILWU and pine
apple industry had almost reach-;
ed agreement in their wage dis-1
pute, only to draw apart,
i “This is the first time I’ve ever
had a contract settled and then
watched it blow up in my face,”
he added.
The struck pineapple firms
alone represent a $65,000,000—a
year business. Fruit still in the
fields is estimated at $40,000,000. j

Mr. Truman at the same time

Little Chance Of
Action On
Military Training
WASHINGTON, <A>)—A Hou*e
armed services sub-committee
voted today to seek full committee
action this session on universal
military training legislation.
The sub-committee, headed by
Rep. Towe <R. NJ.>, will reopen
hearings on legislation Wednes
day. Towe told newsmen it hopes
to finish them in several days,
and added:
“We are hopeful of appro/ing a
bill at this session and having the
full committee approve it also, j
That will make it ready for House
consideration.”
Towe said, however, that be
cause Congress plans to adjourn
July 26, there is little likelihood i
that the House itself will act on 1
the legislation this year.

Underground Jews
Defy British Army |
—
JERUSALEM, (/P)—Irgun Zvaij
Lemui—Jewish underground or
ganization—today defied the Brit
ish army and police to free two
British army sergeants whom it
boasted of kidnaping and confin-'
ing as hostages for three Irgun- j
ists under death sentence.
The Irgun announcement said
the sergeants were unharmed and
‘‘in a place where they can be
kept a month or more.”
British authorities meanwhile
intensified their search for the |
hostages and served notice that
unless they were returned by to
night martial law would be im-1
posed on Palestine’s diamond cap
ital of Natanya, 40 miles north of
Tel Aviv. The sergeants—Clifford i
Martin and Mervin Paice—were
abducted from in front of a Na-1
