Maritime Tie-Up

from Southampton, has been di
verted to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Special trains will carry passen
gers from there to New York and
other major U. S. cities.
Up to 10,000 of New York’s 25,
000-odd members of theAFL inter
national longshoremen’s associa
tion (ILA* were reported to have
joined the walkout which began
before dawn Wednesday.
Custom house figures showed 41
ships were affected here immedi- ,
ately, in addition to 16 already
lying idle as a result of the west;
coast strike. Wednesday’s rain,
which normally would curtail
dock work, and the Armistice Day
holiday yesterday obscured the
full impact of the walkout.
The New York port tieup, which
affects several piers on the New
Jersey side also, came after locals
in Manhattan and Brooklyn re
jected teh tentative settlement
with the New York shipping asso
ciation.
The pact — announced early
Tuesday—would raise the day
shift straight time pay from $1.75
to $1.85 an hour and the night and j
week-end overtime rate from j
$2.62to $2.77 1/2.
JAPANESE MINERS STRIKE
TOKYO, •(£*)—One-fifth of Jap
an’s coal mines were shut down
yesterday as miners in 200 local
unions went on a 24-hour strike
for higher wages and retirement
pay.
Hoover Gives
Streamlining Plans
For Government
(Continued from Page One)
He predicted the final recom- j
mendations, if adopted after being
presented to Congress in January,
will save “a good many million
dollars” when placed in operation
for “say five years.”
The commission has reached
tentative but unanimous conclu- J
sions on three of its 24 fields of.
study, Hoover said. He named |
them as:
1. Creation of a “service” agen- j
cy to be a Presidential staff. It '
would embrace the budget-mak- |
ing activities, supply procurement, j
accounting and other functions j
now performed by various agen-,
cies which provide services for the
rest of the government.
2. Organize a career service to
cut the “tremendous iturnover” of
civil servants. Pay increases for
employees above the $5,000-a-year
level should be granted. The civil
service commission should be
stripped of its labor-recruiting
function, and this task should be
handed back to the various agen
cies.
3. Re-organize the postoffice de
partment to cut its deficit by per
haps $200,000,000 to $300,000,000
a year. This would involve setting
it up as a “revolving fund” agency
—one which sells a product and ;
usese the money to meet its ex- !
penses—instead of an agency
wholly dependent on appropria
tions “even for the purchase of
bicycles.”

rules committee, which refused to
permit it to go to the House for a
vote unless the Senate in'erior
committee approved the bill grant
ing statehood for Hawaii.
The Senate committee refused
to act on Hawaii and the Alaska
bill died in the House committee.
Barnett’s office said he has
hopes for quick action, because
the public lands committee ap
proved the measure a year ago and
if a hearing is held he expects it to
be short.
In addition, supporters of Alas
kan statehood say Rep. Somers
(D.-N. Y.), slated to be chairman
of the House public lands commit
tee, favors the proposal.
The proposed outlawing of fish
traps in Alaskan waters was the
subject of a long hearing before a
joint Senate-House commi 11 e e
last year but it never reached a
vote in either chamber.
At the Territory’s election in
October the voters approved the
fish trap legislation 10 to one.

iNew SOS From
i
■ Modern Noah's Ark
ALAMEDA, Calif. (/P)—An SOS,
strictly from hunger, fetched a
giant Mars flying boat yesterday
to the rescue of a modern Noah’s
Ark.
Elephants and tropical birds
consigned to American zoos are
desperately short of food, radioed
i the SS Swarthmore Victory 1000
miles off shore.
A free translation of the ani
mal SOS—save our stomachs—
hustled the navy out after <1>
j authorization from Washington
, for a new kind of Operation Vit
i ties and (2) a dozen bales of hay
and 2,500 meal worms. The navy
got both.
Early this morning the plape
took o£f with the feed waterproof
packed on. floats and parachute
rigged for dropping near the zoo
J ship. But if the sea is calm, the
plane may transfer its cargo to one
of the ship’s boats.
Besides eight baby elephants
and the worm-eating exotic birds,
the Pacific Far East line ship has
monkeys, sun bears, tree ducks,
king cobras, pythons and golden
cats. Most of the animals came
from Siam.
Cause of the short rations was
not explained, but the distress sig
nal indicated the elephants and
birds were making a ruckus about
it.
