tion.”
Another hostage, George Ama
don, 24, said ‘‘one of the convicts
played with an ugly jack-knife
all night. It made me a little ner
vous.”
A third hostage, guard Richard
Jarvis, 23, said “it really didn't
start to get tough until we ran out
of cigarettes."
The end came with dramatic
suddenness.
Both the day and night guard
shifts and sheriff’s deputies and
police from as far away as Mil
waukee, 70 miles to the south cir
cled the besieged brick structure
and deployed around it.
Acting Gov. Oscar Rennebohm,
who sped to the scene from Mil
waukee Monday night, had alert
ed the national guard to stand by.
When daylight came, the war
den delivered his ultimatum and
the surrender followed.
The disturbance started at 3:30
p.m. Monday with a brief strike
in the wood working shop. Fifteen
minutes later, Burke said, three
men from another shop persuaded
26 others to quit work. All 29 ad
vanced on the laundry where 40
other convicts were working.

French Premier
May Conscript
Labor; End Strikes
(Continued from Page One)
Schuman was expected to see a
committee from the communist-led
general confederation of labor
(COT) today in the hope of reach
ing some settlement before taking
his cabinet before the national as
sembly for approval, perhaps on
Thursday.
Well-informed sources said he
might make a last offer to meet
labor demands for upping the
blanket minimum wage from
7,000 to 10,000 francs ($58 to $90)
per month if the strikes were
called off, but would refuse other
increases requested.
If this should fail, these inform
ants said, Schuman might call
strikers In key industries into the
army. Every Frenchman who has
gone through his compulsory mili
tary training remains a member of
the reserve for the rest of his life
and can be called to the colors in
case of emergency. Resistance is
mutiny.
There also were reports that
Schuman would demand a secret
ballot of workers before any fu
ture strike.

Carson Dissatisfied
With Maritime
Alaska Hearings
(By Charles D. Watkins)
<(/P) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON, (JP)—Joseph K.
Carson, member of the maritime
commission, said today he thought
too much time has been devoted to
inquiring into the operations of
steamship companies serving Alas
ka and not enough to the interests
of the people of the Territory.
The commission and an exam
iner have just concluded hearings
at Seattle and here into the Alas
kan transportation problem.
‘‘I feel that too much time has
been devoted to considering the
I contentions of the operators of the j
Alaska steamship lines and not
enough to considering the inter-1
ests of Alaska for a long range
program to meet the needs of the
area,” Carson told a reporter. ‘‘We,
have got to meet the situation re-,
alistically if the people of Alaska 1
get an even break in maritime'
service with those of the United j
States.”
The commissioner said that any {
service to Alaska will have to be
inaugurated with government aid,
with the first problem to be solved
being that of terminal facilities in
Alaska and the second the right
kind of equipment.
Carson said the commission
hoped to have ready for Congress
in January recommendations for
a permanent plan for steamship
service to the Territory.
Steamship companies have con-,
tended that present government j
vessels in use in the Alaska service
are not the right kind and that the
service will require especially
constructed ships.

Congress May Pass
Parts Of Truman's
Anti-Inflation Plan
WASHINGTON, </p>—Two top
ranking Republican Senators—
Taft of Ohio and Millikin of Colo
rado—agreed today that parts of
President Truman’s 10-point anti
inflation program may win Con
gressional approval before Christ
mas.
This development came after a
cry of “socialism” from Rep. Fred
erick H. Smith (R.-Ohio) met the
first disclosure of administration
plans to invoke limited price con
trol and rationing, if Congress
votes the power and if voluntary
measures fail.
Smith’s outburst came as Oscar
L. Chapman, acting secretary of
the interior was appealing to the
House banking committee yester
day for authority to clamp price
lids on oil and coal dtid to ration
gasoline “if necessary.”
Mr. Truman coupled his domes
tic cost of living proposals with
his plea for aid to Europe in a
message opening the special ses
sion of Congress November 17.
Taft and Millikin, in separate
interviews, said flatly there is no
chance for immediate approval of
restored price and rationing au
thority—but that less controversial
items in Mr. Truman’s program
may win quick passage.

Ask Kemoval Ul
Woodward As
Maritime Adviser
(Continued From Page One
In another affidavit Gruening
said that in 1946, after Woodward
failed of reappointment to the
commission and while he- was act
ing as an examiner, Woodward
had said the Alaska Steamship
companies were correct in their
claim for higher rates and said in
the presence of the Governor that
| they must have immediate relief.
Despite this, Gruening contin
ued, the commission denied the
proposed rate increase.
“Woodward’s bias has been
clearly revealed,” Gruening said.
“It was so thoroughly demonstrat
ed that in the general public in
terest and in specific interest of
the people of Alaska we should be
derelict in our duty if we did not
insist that Woodward be removed
forthwith from any 'connection
whatsoever with Alaska shipping
matters.”
O’Connor, who testified last
week before the maritime com
mission about freight carrying
practices of the Alaska shipping
companies, said in another affida
vit that at the conclusion of a
Congressional hearing Woodward
upbraided him “as guilty of intel
lectual dishonesty” for putting be
fore the committee material he
had presented before an examiner
1 in Seattle. O’Connor said Wood
ward claimed that the material
had been discredited at the Seat
1 tie hearing.
