KOREAN THREAT MAY HALT
GUAM CIVIL GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON, <;P) — There
was speculation—but no definite
indication—yesterday that the Ko
rean situation might upset time
tables for giving civil govern
ment to Guam, American Samoa
and the trust territory of the Pa
cific.
Guam is to pass from navy to
interior department administra
tion next Saturday. A civilian
governor, appointed last Septem
ber, has been laying the ground
work for the new regime.
Some observers suggested that
in view of the tension over Ko
rea, and in the interest of U. S.
security, the navy might retain
control a while longer.
James P. Davis, director of in
terior’s division of territories and
island possessions, told a reporter,
however, that the Guam change
over probably will take place as
scheduled.

based on national standards and
the Alaskan cost of living.”
The union is demanding a 30
cent hourly pay increase, which
would bring their hourly wage to
$3.00. Members voted Friday to
reject an offer of $2.82 an hour
wage by the Associated General
Contractors.
Kappelle said that the carpen
ters “have steadfastly stood be
hind our government in all pre
vious national emergencies and
are still good patriotic citizens.”
“They call upon the general
contractors to assist that patrio
tism by insuring the security of
this group with justice,” he said.
He added that the carpenters
are ready to reopen negotiations
“to that end.”
The carpenters here walked out
June 1. They were followed in the
strike action by Fairbanks car
penters June 14.

son of every description to con

These would include 300,000

The bill would prohibit any
communist from holding office in
the new State and would require
that a clause to that effect be in
cluded in the Constitution.
The State would be required to
disclaim forever any right to land
