Truman Tries To
Appease South
V'ASKIXGTON, President
r-uman today appeared to have
In* x3ii the ice on southern ap
pointments with his nomination of
Abraham Benjamin Conger as
federal judge in Georgia.
Conger was recommended by
Senator George (D.-Ga.), vigorous
foe of the President’s civil rights
program and one of the Democrats
who has refused to go along with
iSCr. Truman’s request for $4,000,
000,000 ;n new taxes.
The President’s action in send
ing the nomination to the Senate
y saterday was widely interpreted
a victory for those in the Demo
cratic party who have counseled
ugainst trying to punish Dixie
'..iwnukers who didn’t get out and
coot for the President in last
y-ir’.i campaign.
The porcupine advances into a

Alaska RR. Rejects
Longshore Bids
ANCHORAGE, (A*) — Alaska
railroad officials announced yes
terday they had rejected bids re
ceived from private firms to per
form longshoring work on the
government dock at Seward.
Bids were submitted by firms
in Seattle, Seward and San Fran
cisco. They were termed too high
on a basis of cost per ton of cargo
handled.
The present method of negotia
ting contracts with private firms
may be supplanted by issuance of
new specifications, with invita
tions to bid on the basis of straight
rates per ton /or general cargo,
with exceptions on designated
types of penalty cargo.
New invitations will be offered
June 4', with the awards effective
Aug. 1.
Unless the new specifications
produce bids from private opera
tors at rates lower than those
quoted, officials said the work
would be performed by the rail
road as a step toward reducing
ing overall costs to the Territory.
In the early 19th century, pur
ple finches, bobolinks and blue
birds weia sold as food in New
Orleans markets.
