for 48 hours work.
During the morning, Mr. Truman
,j,'\ had a long session with his cabinet
given over largely to discussion of
• the railroad 6ittiation.
* Attorney General McGrath told
reporters they "talked the whole
situation over thoroughly,” discus
sing "all the different angles.”
Asked U seizure papers have been !
drafted, he repeated, "you will have
to talk to the President about what
he is going to do.”
In response to questions. McGrath
said another possible strike-stopping
move, other than seizure, would be
to seek a court order against a

Injunction Improbable
Other administration officials, un
quotable by name, said there was
little prospect of an injunction at
tempt unless the workers refused
to stay on the job under Govern
ment operation.
While the Cabinet was in session,
railroad trainment and conductors
sent to the White House a denial
that they had broken any pledge
when they called a strike for next
Monday.
Mr. Truman told a news confer
ence yesterday that the strike call—
issued by the Brother of Railroad
Trainmen and the order of Railway
Conductors late Wednesday—was
put out within an hour after he had
been assured by both management
and unions that there would be no
walkout.
Deny Breaking fledge
The statement read: "We wish
to personnally advise you that at
the concluding conference presided
over by Doctor Steelman, in the
East Wing of the White House from
3 to 4 p.m., Wednesday, August 23,
1950, no mention whatsoever was
made regarding the calling of any
nationwide strike, and therefore any
statement to the effect that we
had broken our pledge is one hund
red percent false.”
It was signed “respectfully” by W.
P. Kennedy, president of the train
men, and R. O. Hughes, president
of the conductors.
The strike call was issued after
the collapse of White House spon
sored peace talks directed by Dr.
John R. Steelman, Assistant to the
President.

'CALAMITY JANE AND
SAM BASS' IS BIG HIT
. AT CAPITOL THEATRE
"Calamity Jane and Sam Bass,”
Universal - International’s Techni
color opus co-starring Yvonne De
Carlo and Howard Duff, opened
yesterday at the Capitol Theatre.
Based on the exploits of the two
western outlaws who were notorius
about the 1870’s, the film combines
historical charcters and romance to
good advantage to provide a highly
entertaining movie.
Both Miss De Carlo and Duff turn
in outstanding performances to make
the picture highly enjoyable. This
marks the actress’ fourth movie of
this type, having previously done
"Frontier Gal,” “Black Bart” and
"River Lady," all of which concerned
early-times girls of the western fron
tier. Duff, who will be remembered,
of course, for his great performance
in the late Mark Hellinger’s "Naked
City,” adds to his laurels in "Cal
amity Jane and Sam Bass.”
Dorothy Hart, who appeared with
Duff in “The Naked City,” and Wil
lard Parker turn in fine perfor
mances, which Lloyd Bridges. House
ley Stevenson, Milburn Stone, John
Rodney and Clifton Young, who
comprise Sam Bass’ gang, add to
the film’s attractions with top por
trayals.
FISHERMEN TELL OF
SHIPWRECK, 12-DAY
| FIGHT TO SURVIVE
Seattle Men Picked Up by
• Coast Guard Plane on
Alaska Peninsula
KODIAK, Aug. 25—ill)—'Two Se
attle fishermen survived two ship
| wrecks and existed 12 days on six
I cans of food washed ashore before
j being picked up by a Kodiak-based
Coast Guard flying boat yesterday.
They were Carl Hartley Teuber,
50, and Levi H. Burkholder, 53. They
had their first solid meal since
| August 11 here last night.
I They gave this account of their
! harrowing experience:
! On Friday, Aug. 11, their Della
II, a 39-foot fishing vessel, swamped
j in Paule Bay on the Alaska Penin
I sula as they attempted to salvage
(the Della I, a sister ship wrecked
I earlier.
Later a sudden storm and heavy
j seas sent the Della II to the bot
I tom, washing it up on the beach
I alongside the Della I. The two men
managed to save one skiff.
Next day six cans of food washed
onto the beach from the wreckage.
That was their "chow” thereafter.
They spent the next several days
wet and cold, huddled on the beach
near their skiff.
On Sunday, Aug. 20, they left
Paule Bay, hoping to reach the
native village of Kanatak, some 30
miles to the westward. They rowed
their skiff one whole day, spending
the night on the beach.
Tuesday they continued to row
until spotted by a plane. Earlier, the
[ Mainland Fisheries cannery at Ku
j kak notified the Coast Guard the
men were missing.
Fog and poor flying weather re
duced search efforts until yesterday.
The two fishermen expressed their
gratitude to the Coast Guard Air
crew which rescued them. They
were:
Pilot E. P. Ward, East Point, Ga.;
co-pilot G. W. Wayne, Boston; and
crewmen Kenneth Bright, Denver;
Charles G. Graff, Chicago; Dan
iel M. Nemirow, Harrington, 111.;
and Paul H. Cochran, Anacortes,
Wash.

Proclamation to the citizens of
Juneau: Greetings.
Whereas: Once more the sec
urity of the United States calls for
the marshalling of greater military
strength that we may be prepared]
for any eventuality while Amer- J
icans are again sacrificing their]
lives in the cause of freedom,
And whereas, our system of dem- (
ocracy and free enterprise, which
places our living standards above]
all others in the world, gives equal
opportunity to every man, and in-1
sures individual self expression im
selection of governmental leaders,'
faces a challenge which would un
dermine our way of life,
And whereas, it is vitally im
portant that every American fully
understands the motives that have
spurred the forces of aggression
into action in order that we may
work together to make sure that
there shall be no misgivings about
What actually is at stake in this
't'dntlict of ideologies:
Now, therefore, as mayor of this
city of Juneau, Alaska, I do hereby
proclaim the week August 27th to
September 2nd, 1950, as Miracle of
America Week in and for the city
of Juneau, and I urge that it be
set aside as a period for all of us
to re-examine ourselves with it in
every respect to the end that we
will know and appreciate why the
American way of life and our sys
tem of government are better than
any elsewhere in the world.

Cecil B. De Mille's spectaculnr
(reduction for Paramount, "The
Irusades," acclaimed as the master
ilm-maker’s masterpiece, ends it’s
howlng tonight at the Gross 20th

sands in the picture are academy
iward winning Loretta Young. Hen
y Wilcoxon, Ian Keith. Katherine
3e Mille, C. Aubrey Smith and Jo
seph Schildkraut.
Produced on a massive scale in
,he best De Mille tradition, "The
Crusades” is a lavish, historic pan
>rama of the 12th Century march
>f western Europe to recapture the
;acred birth-place of Christianity
from the Moslems. Hordes of men
md animals fill the screen in such
awe-inspiring scenes as the storm
ing of Acre and the cavalry charge
at Jerusalem.
Skillfully blended throughout is
me of the screen’s most glorious ro
mances, the inspired love of the
Beautiful Princes of Navarre, Lor
itta Young, for the dashing, daring
Richard the Lion-Heart, played by
Wilcoxson.
"The Crusades” is, as proclaimed
by Photoplay Magazine, a "produc
tion of epic proportions and majestic
pageantry.”
