Merry-Go-Round

By DREW FEARSON
Washington — Diplomats re
turned from the Ottawa confer
ence report privately that it wasn’t
anywhere near as successful as the
headlines and the official press
communiques indicated.
In fact, it ducked the most im
portant problem for which it was j
called— the question of deciding
how much money is to be spent
on European rearmament and how
* much for civilian uses.
Furthermore, the Ottawa diplo
mats did not even bother to read
General Eiesenhower’s report on
Europe’s military defense. Ike had
prepared a report on the present
strength of Europe, and on how
much more armament would be
nqcessary. But his analysis was
not even read.
Instead it was referred to the
next meeting in Rome, which will
not be held until November—after;
Great Britain gets a new govern
men.
Most of this took place at closed
door sessions and was not known to
the public.
Keynote of the general attitude
at the Ottawa conference was a
speech given by Bjarni Benediktsson,
foreign minister of Iceland, a hand
some Viking-type gentleman with
long, drooping mustaches very much
like a walrus.
“Iceland,” said Foreign Minister
Benediktsson at the first closed
session, “has already "done her
share. We can do no more. We have
American troops on our soil. And
we have a new air base at Rey
kjavik which is keeping all the
people awake.”
ONE-SIDED GAME
Other foreign ministers took a
similar position. They weren’t quite
so blunt, but their general feeling
was that further efforts should
come from the United States. As
one delegate put it afterward: “It
was like a tennis game played
against a wall, with the United
States the lone tennis player and
Europe the wall.”
Secretary of tltate Acheson led
off the first closed-door session
with a none too Inspiring speech.
Whereas he was very much on the

Bitter Oil Dispute
Taken Up, United
Nations, Today *
British Bow to Iran's
Order on Expulsion ot
Men Employed, Refinery
NEW YORK, Oct. 1— lift —The
United Nations plunges into the
bitter British-Iranian oil dispute
today, with Britain apparently bow
ing in advance to Iran's order
expelling Britons from the great
Abadan refinery area.
A London announcement said
Britain plans to evacuate all her
oil men from Abadan by Thursday,
the deadline set by the Nationalist
Iranian government. Abadan dis
patches said most of the oil men
would leave by warship from Basra,
Iraq. Wednesday, and the regaining
few offiicals would go to Basra
Thursday.
Iran made it clear she was insist
ing upon the expulsion in spite
of the pending British complaint
before the Security Council.
Deputy Premier Hossein Fateml
said in Tehran that the Security
Council had no power to recom
mend that Iran lift the expulsion
order. Previously, Hussein Makki,
of the Iranian National Oil Board
said if the Britains insisted on
staying at the refinery, they
would be “escorted off by police
with the greatest respect and
kindness.”
Iran’s aged, frail and emotional
Premier, Mohammed Mossadegh,
has not yet mentioned flying to
New York for the Security Coun
cil meeting. His deputy, Fatemi, said
Iran still has received no formal
notice from the Security Council on
the British complaint and no decis
ion on whether Mossadegh would
go to New York would be made
until such official notice was re
ceived. The government had an
nounced previously Mossadegh would
at end • ve N, \v York/ncetir?
Ten British warships are an
chored off Basra, only 40 miles
from Abadan on the Shatt-El
Arab estuary, and there was some
talk in London of an “oil block
ade” of Iran to insure that the
Iranians do not sell stored Abadan
oil which Britain considers pro
perty of the Anglo-Iranian com
pany.
Makki has said that if such a
blockade were imposed, it would
be “most dangerous and would be
the beginning of hostilities.”
World Peace
Is Platform of
British Labor
SCARBOROUGH, England, Oct. 1
— W — Prime Minister Attlee de
clared today that Britain under his
Labor government has been a main
bulwark of world peace.
He was given a tremendous ova
tion by 1,500 delegates and party
leaders as he rose to speak and
another when he sat down at the
Labor party conference in the SPA
Grand Hall in this seaside resort
[own.
The Prime Minister struck out
on what appears to be the Laboi
Party’s main election issue: The
threat of a Third World War.
"It is right that in our manifesto
we should give first place to peace,”
he said.
On the home front, the Prime
Minister declared, the Socialists
would push forward to restrict divi
dends and put industry under public
ownership whenever the party be
lieved it necessary.
Attlee was presenting his party's
manifesto — Labor’s answer to the
Conservative manifesto issued Iasi
week by Winston Churchill. The
Conservatives asked an end to So
cialist rule of England.

New Alaska
Highway
Suggested
SEATTLE, Oct. 1 — <JR — Saving
Alaska from Russia in the event of
war is dependent on constructing a
550-mile stretch of highway, in the
opinion of Donald McDonald.
McDonald, of Fairbanks, is a re
tired exploratory engineer. He is
known as the father of the Alaska
Highway. Ironically, he now despises
it as "an economic waste and wholly
inadequate, largely because of
rough, steep stretches susceptible to
washouts between Whitehorse, Y.T.,
and Edmonton, Alta.
The solution, McDonald believes,
is constructing a road from Atlin to
Fort St. James, D.C., that would
connect with the Fairbanks road 58
miles south of Whitehorse and with
the Cariboo road at Fort St. James.
Connecting the two roads would
cut the mileage from Fairbanks
to Seattle from the present 3,400
miles to about 1,900 miles, Mc
Donald said.
Freight trucks averaging 40 miles
an hour of continuous driving could
haul materials from Seattle to Fair
banks in two days on such a road,
McDonald said. It took him ten
days to drive from Fairbanks to
Seattle on the present road. He
arrived Thursday night, on his first
trip “outside” in six years.
“Alaska is an economic island,
dependent on the sea for all
means of war or development,”
said' McDonald. “If it is true
that it is one of the most stra
tegic areas in the world, and I
think it is, it is mandatory for the
United States to hold It.
“But I don’t see how we can un
less we build this new road. Russia
has submarines and they easily
could cut Alaska off from being
supplied by sea.
“That leaves the present highway.
It is so bad that only 1,700 trucks
"sed It last year.”
1 McDonald was a member of the
American Commission which worked
jointly with the Canadian group in
planning the Alaska Highway before
the Second World War.
Both commissions were in agree
ment the highway should be built
over the route now recommended
by McDonald, he said.
“When the Second World War
came along,” McDonald said,
“planning the road was taken
out of our hands and some ’brain’
ordered it built from Whitehorse
to Edmonton and down into Mon
tana. That was deliberate sabo
tage.
“The Canadians are about ready
to scrap their section. Any good
engineering outfit would give that
part of it up as extravagant and
wasteful to maintain.”
The western route that McDonald
favors would have 35 bridges, cost
ing an estimated $1,500,000, com
pared with the present road's 78
bridges costing $16,575,000, McDon
ald said. He estimates the new road
could be built for $50,000,000, com
pared .with the $140,000,000 he says
the Whitehorse-Edmonton section
cost.

Report Sub
Off Alaska
Discounted
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 1—0P1
—Military authorities discount re
ports by two civilians that they be
lieve they had seen submarines not
belonging to the United States near
Alaska.
The repbm we?# made by Donald
Cross and Tom Costello, Pish and
Wildlife ServiiJ: employees, who
said they saw the alien craft on
Aug. 28 and Sept. 12, respectively.
Maj. James K. Bryan, public in
formation officer for the Alaskan
Command', paid Saturday ynig’ht
the reports have proved ground
less.
“Our intelligence officers say
there is no evidence to show that
submarines actually had been seen
in the area," Maj. Bryan said.
Cross told military intelligence
officials at Elmendorf Air Force
Base that he sighted a Schnorkcl
type submarine as it headed away
from the area. He said he also
heard its motors. Cross said the
incident occurred aiuut 2 p.m.
August 28 while he was in a boat
off Dick Arm on the Kenai Pen
insula.
Costello related seeing what looked
like a sub 20 miles from Kalgin Is
land, Sept. 12, about 6:30 p.m.,
while flying over the area.
"I looked again about 30 seconds
later and it was gone,” Costello said.
Others in the plane said they
thought Costello’s submarine was
only a sandbar. He said he didn't
think anything about It until he
heard Cross' report and then told
intelligence officers of the incident.
Hawaiian Water
Resources May
Be Studied
Eight-Year Study Pro
posed; Bartlett to Ask
Same for Alaska
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—W—'The
House Reclamation subcommittee

Shipping
Tie-Up
Averted
Agreement Reached on
West Coast with 48-Hour
Truce on Atlantic
I
| NEW YORK. Oct. 1—W—A ticup
! of the nation's shipping threatened
| for last midnight was averted Just
ahead of the deadline by a tentative
i agreement on the west coast and a
' 48-hour "truce” for Atlantic and
Gulf coasts.
Shippers and the AFL Masters,
Mates and Pilots Union IMMPI
have been trying to reach new con
tracts in separate negotiations in
j New York and San Francisco, Fed
eral mediators have been participat
i ing.
On the Pacific, the MMP agreed
to a two-year wage pact subject
to formal approval by the union
membership, the Shippers Pacific
Maritime Association (PMA) and
the Wage Stabilization Board.
New York talks were continued
; by an agfeement between the union
and 40 east and gulf companies
| to extend the old contract for 48
hours. Negotiators then scheduled
new meetings today and tomorrow.
Charles F. May, president of the
deck officers union, said jn San
Francisco that MMP members
j would refuse to work Atlantic and
Gulf ships if they do not get an
agreement equal to that attained
in the west.
May had threatened a walkout
for the Pacific prior to last night’s
j agreement.
Union demands concerning hlr
! >ng procedures are a key point in
the eastern dispute. The union
wants all ships’ officers, except
Masters, to be signed on from
union lists. Employers reportedly
want to make an exemption of
; first mates, too.
The West Coast agreement, as an
nounced by May, granted the union
its demands on this point.
A 25-percent wage increase had
been sought by the union in both
New York and San Francisco, but
ihe MMP settled for 6.2 percent 0,1
the Pacific after once rejecting this
figure.
However, there was no indica
tion the union would budge on
wages in the east.
Other details in the west coast
igreement, May said. Include a 40
hour week in port and at sea, with
ame-and-a-half for overtime; a
doubling of the ship owners’ present
25 cents per man-day contribution
to the union pension fund; longer
vacations, and a number of other
benefits in work conditions.
Current pay rates range from
$378 to $750 a month.
West coast companies wilt con
sider their agreement today. The
union promised to present the pro
posed pact to the membership by
Wednesday.

little insurance.
Hearn allowed five hits, all singles
except Pafko's homer. From the
fifth on he pitched httlesa ball In
the last 4 1/3 Innings.
The Oiants got only five hits off
Branca In his eight inning workout

left field seats.
Clarence Podblelan gave up the
sixth and final hit—a double by AlA
Dark—In the ninth.
The Dodgers had a mild threat
going in the last of the ninth when
