Nationwide Rail
Strike Threatens;
Auto Strike Here
(By The Associated Press)
The threat of a nationwide rail
• !
road strike hovered ove rthe labor
front today and the three months
of peace in the automobile indus
try in Detroit ended.
The White House continued ef
forts to avert the threatened rail
strike involving some 300,000
trainmen and conductors. Leaders
of the two big unions, however,
said they are near “the end of our
rope.”
In Detroit, 8,000 Packard em
ployees were called out on strike:
by the CIO tjnited Auto Workers
—the first major strike in the in
dustry since the 100-day work
stoppage by Chrysler employees.
Company management charged
the union with a “pressure move”
to enforce contract demands. All
Packard operations were shut
down.
Although rail union officials
said no progress was made in
peaec talks Monday night with
John R. Steelman, assistant to
President Truman, they agreed
“reluctantly” t6 resume talks yes
terday.
W. P. Kennedy of the Brother-j
hood of Railroad Trainmen said:
“Unless we make some progress,
it looks like we will be at the end
of our rope.”
A railroad spokesman, however,
said progress was being made be
tween the union officials . and
Steelman.
Kennedy said the wage and
hour dispute had gone unsettled
for 17 months and the men are
anxious to strike.
Chief issue in the dispute is the
request by the unions for a reduc
tion from the present 48-hour
work week to a 40-hour week for
yard service workers — without
loss in pay. A Presidential board j
recommended the shorter work
week but not as much pay as the
unian asked. j

WANTS TO CONVERT MORGUE
INTO NIGHT CLUB
• VALDEZ. (/P) — “Hello, honey.
How about taking a little run out
to the morgue for the evening,
huh?”
That’s the way Miss June For
est hopes Valdez young men will
be making their dates soon.
She plans, however, to make
several changes in interior furn
ishings and type of clientele be
fore this happens. Miss Forest is
converting the ocean dock struc
ture which houses the morgue,
into a night club.
She hasn’t got a license yet but j
is circulating a petition to obtain
the signatures of 51 per cent of
the residents to get it. Some citi
zens are opposed—they prefer not
to change the pace of the clientele
Falling Rock On
Alcan Hits Car
FAIRBANKS (JP)—A California
motorist was hospitalized here
this week with injuries suffered
when the automobile in which she
was riding was struck by a falling
rock on the Alaska Highway.
Mrs. Emil H. Hopf of Los An
geles was treated for a fractured
vertebrae. Her husband, a retired
Firestone Rubber Co. employee,,
and 16-year-old son were not in
jured. The three were on a vaca
tion trip.
The accident occurred in Yukon
Territory about 67 miles from the
Alaska border. The rock crashed
| into the side of the car, which
I blew a tire and careened into a 35
foot ditch.
A bulldozer from a nearby road
camp pulled the car from the
ditch. Hopf had to drive 100 miles
before world could be sent for a
rescue plane to fly his wife to
Fairbanks.

Winter Wolves In
For Rough Going
Plans for a more intensified and
{concentrated wolf control program
I in Alaska were announced today
i by Maurice Kelly, district agent
; of predator control for the Fish
and Wildlife Service. Kelly will be
. leaving his headquarters at An
! chorage next week.
There will be four main areas
j of operation. Stanley K. Patrick
and Joe Miner, predator control
agents, with some assistance from
Rob Baker, enforcement agent,
will work the Kotzebue region,
concentrating on the Noatak and
Colville River basins where the
wolves have been whittling on the
caribou and reindeer herds. Be
! fore freeze-up operations will be
mainly with wolf-getters. Ar
rangements are made for a perm
anent camp and the U. S. Navy
, will make gas caches along its cat
| trails for winter hunting from two
airplanes after the freeze.
