Thumbs Down On
Amending Jones
Shipping Act
'Continued from Page One*
fer their own ships to foreign reg
istry in order to obtain reduced
operating costs.
“Such results would be contrary
to the declaration obtained in the
merchant marine act of 1936 and
in the merchant ship sales act of
1946 that it is the policy of the
United States to foster the devel
opment and encourage the main
tenance of a merchant marine suf
ficient to carry our domestic wa
ter-borne commerce and a sub
stantial portion of our export and
import commerce.”
The bills to amend the law were
introduced in the Senate by Sena
tor Butler 'R.-Neb.' and in the
House by Delegate Bartlett <D.
Alaskah The commission’s disap
proval of the legislation is merely
advisory and will be considered
by the committees when they take
up the bills.
Another bill to authorize ship
ment of merchandise to a Cana
dian port by Canadian railways
and then to Alaska by Canadian
vessels also received unfavorable
report from the commission. The
law now permits such shipments
by Canadian vessels to points in
Continental United States but for
bids it to Alaska. Senator Butler
said his proposed amendment
would remove discrimi nation
against Alaska.

Soviets Claim
Little Assembly
“Unconstitutional’"
(By Max HerreUon)
LAKE SUCCESS, (ff) — Dele
gates to the United Nations “Lit
tle Assembly” gathered today to
begin their year-round sittings as
a peace-keeping body—a move
which Russia has warned may
lead to “grave consequences.”
The delegates prepared for the
11 a m. meeting in a tense atmos
phere, faced by the prospect of a
boycott by Russia and the five
other Slav countries
A Soviet spokesman said in ad
vance of the session that Russia
still felt the U. S.-sponsored “lit
tle assembly” was unconstitution
al and therefore would not attend.
Informed quarters said the same
attitude had been taken by
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugo
slavia, White Russia and the Sov
iet Ukraine.
A representative of the U. S.
delegation maintained, however, i
that U. S. delegate Warren R. i
Austin had not given up hope that
the Soviet bloc might eventually
join in the new body, which was
postponed originally by Secretary
of State Marshall.

Nurse Disciplines
Sick Indian Boy
JUNEAU, (/P)—A revised ver
sion of a report that a nurse at
the Alaska Native Service tuber
culosis hospital at Alice Island,
near Sitka, had disciplined a sick
Indian child last summer by flog
ging him was issued here today by
Don C. Foster, the service’s gen
eral superintendent.
Foster* said he is writing a letter
to Syril Zuboff, president of the
Alaska Native Service, saying that
a catheter tube was used on the
boy instead of a rubber hose. Fos
ter said the nurse was reprimand
ed but allowed to remain because
of the shortage of attendants and
that the boy was disciplined in
hopes of preventing him from get
ting out of bed.
