Striking Printers May
Be Stripped of Benefits
NEW YORK — Striking j
printers may be stripped of strike
benefits by their international
union unless they reach a speedy
settlement with city newspapers,
it was indicated today.
Elmer Brown, International
Typograhical Union president, said
“serious consideration” would be
given to halting strike support
to the New York Local 6, if it
doesn’t agree shortly to terms
with publishers.
“The time has come for com
promise and settlement to get the
people back to work.”
Brown said 100,000 printers
across the country are paying a
strike assessment of 4 per cent of
their wages to pay benefits to
the New York printers, and that
pressure is mounting daily to stop
the support.
He said many printers paying
assessments get less take-home
pay than the striking printers get
in benefits plus unemployment
insurance.
The striking printers get an
average of $120 weekly in strike
benefits, an ITU official said,
which includes $50 a week of state
unemployment payments.
Their average pay before the
strike began nearly 3V£ months
ago was $145 w’eekly.
A Bit of Finnish Advice
VIRGINIA, Minn. UP) — Carl T.
Rowan, ambassador designate to
Finland, got some advice from
Minnesota Finns Friday on how
to get along.
“Talk to them about fishing
lures. They are the big things over
there,” said one man.
The advice was part of a Carl
Rowan Day put on by the many
Finnish immigrants who abound
in northeastern Minnesota. Rowan
is a former Minneapolis news
paperman. ,
As part of his indoctrination,
Rowan twice visited a sauna, the
steam bath and birch-bough whip
ping ritual that Finns bill as the
cure to most of man’s ills. Rowan
pronouncer the sauna experience,
his first, as “great.”
Rowan, a Negro, said he has
been studying the Finnish lang
uage and knows how to say
“hello.” If things get too hot, he
said, he is working on “good-bye.”
He assumes the Helsinki post on
May 1.

Will Not Extradite
Three Japanese
Herring Fishermen
JUNEAU UP) — State Atty. Gen.
George Hayes said Saturday the
state does not plan to extradite
three Japanese arrested in the
Shelikof Strait fishing controversy
in April of last year.
The captains of two Japanese
catcher boats and the skipper of
the mothership of the herring fish
ing fleet were arrested by state
agents and charged with violating
Alaska’s commercial fishing re
gulations.
The three Japanese were later
released on their promise to re
turn to Alaska when they were
called to trial on the state charges.
The Japanese were accused, in
dividually, with fishing illegally
in Alaskan waters, with fishing
without first purchasing an Alaska
commercial fishing license and
with fishing without first obtain
ing a state commercial gear license.
The two catcher boats were
seized and held by State Fish and
Game agents and State Police
until after the three Japanese
were arraigned.
“Present relations between the
Japanese fishing companies and
the State of Alaska are good,”
Hayes said.
“We know of no further intru
sion of Alaska waters by foreign
nationals and, in fact, there ap
pears to be a change in Japanese
policy in regard to fishing in ter
ritorial waters of this state.
“For example, a Japanese fish
ing co., the Eastern Pacific Fishing
Co., Ltd., of Tokyo has entered
into a joint project with Point
Chehalis Packers, Inc., of Cordova.
“This is a project to establish
a new fishery in Prince William
Sound. The Japanese will purchase
several thousand tons of herring,
all of which will be fished by
American vessels and crews.
“The fishery will be of short
duration but will provide an off
season fishery of value to fisher
men in Prince William Sound.
“The Japanese firm Mitsubishi
International Corp. has made over
tures to Ketchikan Cold Storge to
purchase 300-500 tons of frozen
chum salmon caught by American
vessels and crews.
“This is good. It’s good for Alas
ka fishermen and good for Japan.
“It provides Alaska with an
other market for our fishery pro
ducts while at the same time as
suring that our fishery resources
will receive the protection of all
of our conservation statutes.
“It will provide work and in
come for Alaska fishermen and
communities.
“While it is a small beginning,
it could pave the way for larger
purchases of Alaska fishery pro
ducts by Japan.
“Foreign nationals are aware
now that the state will act quick
ly to enforce its conservation laws
against them as well as against
our own citizens.
“It is not necessary that we
press for the extradition of the
Japanese fishermen arrested last
year to prove this point.”

[ Tariff Reduction by
Alaska Railroad Comes
In for Sharp Criticism
JUNEAU Oft — A recent tariff
reduction by the Alaska Railroad
on a 1,500-ton fertilizer shipment
to the Palmer area came in for
some sharp criticism in the Senate.
After firing off some verbal shots
at the government-owned rail
road, the Senate gave its approval
to a resolution asking a congres
sional investigation of the rail
road's rate practices.
Sen. Brad Phillips told the Sen
ate that the Alaska Railroad is
permitted to give only a 10-day
notice before it can put a change
in tariffs into effect, while other
carriers must give 30 days notice.
Phillips said the rate reduction
on fertilizer was put into effect for
the period Feb. 23 through May 1,
when the fertilizer is scheduled to
move into the Palmer area.
“The move was deliberately
timed to eliminate competition in
the movement of this fertilizer,”
Phillips said.
Sen. A1 Owen told the Senate
that even after the railroad de
livers the fertilizer to Palmer, it
will be distributed by government
owned trucks which pay no state
vehicle license or fuel taxes.
“And, it must be remembered,
too,” Owen said, “that these trucks
will be using our highways at a
time of the year when the most
damage occurs.”
Sen. Nicholas Begich said the
Alaska Railroad has developed into
a giant monopoly which threatens
to destroy private business.

Karl of Arran
Has a Row at
| The White House
LONDON Ufi — The Earl of Ar
ran reported he’d had a row with
President Kennedy at a White
House party.
“He asked me what we in Britain
were thinking about America.” said
his lordship. “I said we felt we
had been shockingly let down at
Nassau.”
In his weekly column in the
London Evening News, the Earl
went on:
“This seemed to drive him (the
President) up the wall. ‘Where’s
McNamara?’ he snapped.”
Lord Arran added:
“A simply terrifying-looking
man came up.”
His lordship said that at this
point Kennedy told McNamara:
“Tell him about Skybolt.”
“Mr. McNamara told me. He
told men at length and with a
wealth of figures and statistics.
When he stopped Mr. K took over.”
His lordship said that when Ken
nedy had abandoned the Skybolt
project, in which Britain was to
have shared and benefitted, he
asked if he could speak.
“They said ‘no’.”
Lord Arran emphasized that he
is fond of Kennedy, saying:
“I like Jack Kennedy very much.
He’s a warm-hearted and funny
man — my two highest words of
praise — and I hope I see him
again.”
His lordship writes an amusing
column, nearly always poking fun
at himself. He said the President
asked him several questions about
his (the Earl’s) white hair.
