Phone Calls To States
Now Without Delay
The ACS is once again able to
handle, without undue delay, tel
ephone calls placed over its facil
ities between Alaska and the
States,, now that the telephone
strike which was in effect all over
the United States has been settled.
Final agreement on the strike was
reached May 20.
Since the second day of the
strike which began on April 7, the
telephone company in Seattle has
passed all telephone calls from
Alaska to points in the States, but
conversations to Alaska from the
States were limited to emergency
calls.
Delays as a result of strike ac
tion, which were experienced dur
ing the past few weeks on tele
phone calls to the States should
now be entirely eliminated. This
j was announced today by Col. T. J.
I Tally, Commanding Officer of the
Alaska Communications System.

With the departure of Sgt. Gig

hs; AACS has no draftee person
nel. This detachment is now com
prised of ninety per cent three
year Regular Army Enlistees.
Practically all AACS personnel at
this Base are newcomers to Alaska
nd you may expect to see the
same men in and around for at
least one year. It’s perfectly OK
with these boys, for they like it
here.
If practice games mean any
thing, Hq. Det. may have a strong
softball team this year. In two
pre-season games, they piled up
impressive scores against Ord
nance and Quartermaster. Some
one tried to tell three members of
Hq. Det. that the water in Snake
R'ver was too deep to wade out
to the middle with hip boots and
retrieve two barrels, last Wednes
day. Fifteen minutes later they
were all back in the barracks
changing clothes.
We now have a 75 MM salute
gun on the Base, and T/Sgt. Till,
of the M.P.’s has expressed his
desire to be chief gunner. Sgt.
Till cannot find the panoramic
sight. Does anyone know where it
is?

From Poison Gas to
Cleaning Solvent
HONOLULU, l/P» — The Star
Bulletin said yesterday 5,000 tons
of poison gas stored at Schofield
barracks would be shipped by
army transport in the next few
weeks to the west coast to be con
verted into cleaning solvent.
The paper said the gas, stored
in large cylinders, would be sent
to Bremerton, Wash., for proce
ing. It added that 500 tons of '■a'
unsafe for shipment because the
containers were deteriorated
might be dumped at sea, 20 miles
off Oahu.
The army public relations office
denied any gas would be dumped
at sea but declined comment on
the reported shipment to Bremer
ton. The newspaper said the gas
included lewisite and other dead
ly gases.

Legal Blanks at The Nugget office
Railroad Unions
Bargain Demands
WASHINGTON, <&)— Five big
unions prepared yesterday to bar
gain out their demands on the
railroads under procedure which
will delay any strike showdown
for perhaps six months.
A. F. Whitney, president of the
brotherhood of railroad trainmen,
told reporters:
1. The railroad labor organiza
tions feel they have a legal right
to call a “quickie” strike any time
after Sunday—but do not plan to
do anything of the sort.
2. He believes his union and
four others allied with it will
agree to “start from scratch” un
der the time-consuming railway
labor act in their new negotiations
for changes in 44 working rules.
3. He thinks this should result
in “a settlement or a breakdown
of negotiations by Nov. 1.”
Whitney’s statement at a com
bined dinner and news conference
Wednesday night jibed with the
stand of Alvanley Johnston, who
said the same thing in Cleveland
regarding his brotherhood of loco
motive engineers.
