Where Do Cranes
Spend Summer?
WASHINGTON, Two biol
Ogists are going to search the Arc-'
tic Coast this summer for the nest
ing grounds of the w'hooping
crane.
After two years of observing the
37 known survivors of the species
in their Texas wintering area, the
Scientists say they have a clue as
to the nesting region.
But they are keeping the loca
tion a secret so that hunters or
amateur ornithologists can not go
into the area and disturb the
birds.
Their announced destination is
merely the northern rim of Cana
da’s northwest territories—a vast
wilderness area.
The scientists are Robert H.
Smith, Winona, Minn., of the U. S.
fish and wildlife service, and Rob*
ert P. Allen of the National Au
N
dubon society.
The whooping crane has been
called the tallest and most stately
Of North American birds. Once
common throughout the United
States, its size and conspicuous
white color made it an easy target
and it has been near extinction
for several decades.
Italian Rioters
Demand Work
And Relief Pay
ROME, — (/P) — Italian party
leaders, disturbed by two political
killings in the leftist north yes
terday, arranged to meet tomor
row to seek remedies for a rash
of violence which threatens their
campaign truce.
Communist Umberto Terrachini,
president of the constituent as
sembly, who arranged the truce
in an effort to bar bloodshed in
the campaign for the vital April
18 elections, called the meeting.
Stave swinging unemployed,
some 7,000 strong, marched along
the streets of Milan today, de
manding work and relief pay
ments.
The situation was tense as a
result of the slaying of two com
munists yesterday at Samaglia,
25 miles west of Milan, the left
ist stronghold of the north. Cam
paigners were mauled, beaten,
pelted with overripe fruit and
thrown from platforms at other
points in the north.
The Italian news agency ANSA
reported from Pantelleria that
three persons were killed ar.d
Hartley Puts Up
Bill To Stop
John L. Lewis
WASHINGTON, — (/P> —Rep.
Hartley (R-NJ) introduced legis
lation today to make labor unions
subject to prosecution under the
anti-trust laws. It is admittedly
aimed at John L. Lewis.
The bill, a proposed amendment
to the Taft-Hartley Labor-Man
agement Act, would make it un
lawful for labor unions to com
bine in restraint of trade.
The House twice before has ap
proved similar legislation but it
has never become law.
Hartley is chairman of the
House labor committee. He is also
co-author of the labor law bear
ing his name.
At present, labor union.! are
specifically exempted from tne
anti- trust laws which forbid bus
iness firms to set up restraints on
trade, fix prices or foster mon

Alaskan Volcanoes
Might Explode

that science ultimately may be
able to predict when and where
volcanic eruptions may occur.
2. Research may lead to devel
opment of a warning system for
tidal waves originating in Aleu
tian waters.
“Something that gives itself a
way as much as a noisy volcano
does surely should be predictable,”
Robinson observes.
The report said an eruption
within 25 miles of Adak or Fort
Randall similar to the one which
blasted Mount Katmai in Alaska
June 6, 1912, would render those
bases useless. And if the explo
sions were within 10 miles, “prob
ably loss of life and property
would be complete.”
There are about 80 volcanoes,
39 of them considered active, in
the Aleutian-Alaska arc. The re
port said “a cataslysmic eruption
similar to the one that blew off
the top of Mount Okmok about
10,000 years ago could occur” on
any one of them, but “there is no.
evidence of such violent activity1
in prospect for the near future i

except possibly at Great Sitkin
Island.”
The report added that “scarcely
a year can be expected to pass
without activity by one volcano or
another in the chain.”
Volcanoes on northern Adak
present no immediate threat to
nearby army and navy installa
tions, the report said, but “the
possibility of a new cycle of vol
canism on northern Adak cannot
be summarily dismissed.”
Recent volcanic activities were:
June, 1945 — spectacular erup
tion of Okmok almost caused evac
uation of Fort Glenn.
1946 — Shishaldin, highest of
the Aleutian cones, on Unimak Is
land, erupted violently, depositing
two inches of ash 25 miles to the
east. Akutan volcano, west of Un
imak, sent lava flowing toward 1
a naval station.
