Alaska INow Needs
Much Male Labor
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — After a
spring and summer slump, the la
bor boom is again on in Alaska,
but not for women.
Private contractors are swamp
ing «the Alaska Territorial Employ
ment Service with demands for
men, both skilled and unskilled.
There are, however, few calls for
women workers.
"The government isn't hiring as
many as in the past,” William V.
Frisby, acting manager of the em
ployment service, reported today.
He said Anchorage employment
was at an all-time peak in Sep
tember, with 20,000 persons em
ployed, and many jobs still un
filled.
■'Placements by this office sur
pasesd totals of any previous
month. We have more openings
than we can fill. Both skilled and
unskilled workers are in great de
mand.” Frisby declared.
Government agencies and pri
vate contractors are deluging the
employment service with lists for
job openings, but there are few
takers.
There are many openings for
experienced men in the heavy
equipment field. Euclid drivers,
i turnapul operators and blade dozer
men are most in demand.
“We have been unable to fill a
! large numbe rof requests for such
! tradesmen as roofers, electricians,
painters, plasterers and finish-car
penters,” Frisby said.
Professional type jobs are avail
able at the Alaska Railroad, the
■ 57th Fighter Wing, District En
gineers and the Army Ground
Forces.

CITY COUNCIL
The Nome City Council held its
regular meeting Monday night in
the city hall with a large gather
ing in attendance.
Addiitonal street lighting was
recommended in the area of the
new hospital as well as on Third
Ave., where the American Legion,
Arctic Club and Odd Fellow Halls
[are. Lights weer also considered
[ for the far end of Kings Way.
Councilman Bronson called to
the attention of the Council that
he had loaned his truck to the City
for picking up rocks from the
streets and expected no compen
sation.
Mx\ J. J. Jenkins was introduced
by the Mayor as a special investi
gating agent for the ANS from
Anchorage. Mr. Jenkins stated
that his findings were appalling
and that “Don Foster, head of the
ANS in Alaska has instructed me
that if the town isn’t cleaned up
he will send in a special agent on
liquor enforcement in behalf of
the Indians.”
Mr. Jenkins suggested the fol
lowing improvements to Nome’s
present police system: an attorney
| for a magistrate; the getting to
gether of bar owners and police
| force in a program to PREVENT
'.CRIME RATHER THAN SUP
i PRESS IT; a strict enforcement of
' the present laws; the division of
i
i the police and fire offices, as it is
J too much for one man.
He stated that it was his belief
from past experience that once a
! program got under way the bar
owners would police their own
places, and the program would ex
, pand then to catch up with those
I bootlegging liquor after hours.
Mr. Jenkins was challenged with
the facts that his department is
placing the blame for the moral
I conditions of the natives upon the
| city where part of the blame be
longs with the ANS who is
responsible for these people, and
through lack of training ha\ e no
set moral standards.
It was voted by the Council to
advertise in a Stateside publica
tion of organized policemen for a
i chief of police.
It was recommended to the
council that in all fairness to a
new police officer that the coun
cil get busy and have a police code
by which the department can op
1 erate efficiently as there is none
at present.
Col. C. Jamison, commanding of
ficer of Marks Air Force was in
| troduced and stated that there has
! been good co-operation between
the city and the post in the past
j and he saw no reason why the
' same relationship should not con
i tinue.
Tito Charges Reds
Use Force On Him
_
NEW YORK, UP) — Yugoslavia
yesterday accused Russia of using
every kind of pressure, including
armed demonstrations, to force
Premier Marshal Tito to bow un
der Moscow’s will.
Addressing the United Nations
assembly, Yugoslav foreign minis

what he called Russia’s imperal
istic methods. He called on Russia
to prove her desire for peace by
Reaving Yugoslavia alone.
He spoke directly to the Rus
sians in their own language. Sov
iet foreign minister Andrei Y. Vi
shinsky, an early arrival, listened
intently. He took many notes dur
ing the speech.

Senate (Iritical < )f
Raises For (lahinet
WASHINGTON, </P>—The Sen
ate having agreed to raises in mil
itary pay, turned more critically
yesterday to President Truman’s
idea of boosting salaries for top
federal executives.
A House passed bill increasing
the pay of cabinet members and
other upper bracket officials in the
next major legislation on the Sen
ate schedule. It was listed for ac
tion late yesterday after some
other matters were disposed of.
It follows in the wake of Senate
passage by voice vote late Mon
day of a bill giving pay raises to
members of the armed forces in ,
almost every grade at cost of
about $300,000,000 anually.
A similar military pay bill pass
ed the House earlier. House and
Senate conferees now will at'empt
to iron out the differences, which
I are minor. Raises in the Senate
bill range from about $5 a month
for recruits with five months serv
ice to -300 and up for generals
with over 30 years service.
Much more controversy has de
veloped over the executive pay
bill for which Mr. Truman made
another plea Monday in a letter
| to Vice President Barkley.
After a huddle of Senators in
, the office of Democratic leader Lu
j cas of Illinois, Senator McFarland
| (D.-Ariz.) said that 34 Senators—
20 Democrats and 14 Republicans
i —have offered a compromise
which “is being accepted.” Mc
Farland is leader of a group which
wants to scale down the pay raises
Mr. Truman asked.
McFarland said that under the
Reciprocal I railc
Law Extended
WASHINGTON, </P)—President
Truman yesterday signed into law
an extension of the reciprocal
trade agreements program until
1951. He said it will aid -'expanded
world trade at a time when it ia
most urgently needed.”
The legislation, extending the
law for the sixth time since it ass
first enacted in 1934, gives the
President a free-hand in working
out tariff-cutting treaties with
other nations.
Under the measure, the Presi
dent can agree to cut U. S. import
duties on articles from other coun
tries where those countries make
similar concessions to the United
States.
The extension is until June 12,
1951.
Cordell Hull, former secretary
of state and credited with origin
ating the trade agreements princi
ple 15 years ago, was present to
watch the President sign the bill.
Making one of his rare public
appearances and showing effects
of his long illness, Hull walked
into the White House with the aid
of a cane to join other notables. It
was Hull’s first visit to the White
House since V-J Day.
compromise no government offi
cials except cabinet members and
a few White House aides would
have their pay raised above $15,
000, and none would receive more
than a 50 per cent increase.
For Cabinet members, that
would mean a boost in pay from
$15,000 to $22,500 instead of the
$25,000 provided in the pending
Presidentallv-backed bill.
