CLOTHING IS
NEW CLEW IN
TWO SLAYINGS
RIVERSIDE. Calif., March 29.—(#1
—A man's clothing, found stuffed
in a garbage can, is the newest
clue in the slaying of a young Los
Angeles couple in the desert near
here Monday.
A pair of gray civilian trousers
and a maroon shirt were discovered
in a garbage can at nearby March
Air Force Base yesterday a few
hours after the woman’s body was
found in a quarry two miles fiom
the base.
Officers raid Sgt. Lawrence J.
Walker, Newark, N. J., Negro, who
is being questioned about the kill
ings, refused to try on the trousers
and shirt.
Investigators said the clothing ap
peared to be bloodstained but that
laboratory tests will be necessary
to establish this definitely.
The body of Doris Cook. 18, was
discovered by a steel worker who
helped build power lines through
this area. Posses had searched the
wasteland two days without success.
Acting on a hunch, Robert W.
Guinn, 23, went to the quarry and
found the body. “It was the only
place to hide a body in a hurry,"
he said.
"the woman’s husband, Richard
Cook. 18, was shot to death beside
his car on a desert road.

SKINNER TELLS
WHY RATES ARE
GOING TO RISE
'.Continued from Page One)
it is there that we have our most
severe competition. If this were so,
we would also be asking for in
creases in Bering Sea, Bristol Bay
anu the area west of Kodiak. For
the record, let it be said that we
mute leir competition in any area,
-f this fie.ght rate increase results
in other companies entering the
S. E. Alaska trade we can only,
welcome aboard.’
a here are several reasons why
our costs are proportionately high r
,n s. E. Alaska than clsewheie. First,
-ecau-je it is desirable to maintain
.rciginer s~ivii.e at least once every
,wc weeks, in addition to the weekly
jjas^-enger service, there have been
times recently when ships have
sa.led with pitifully poor cargos.
I argo Statement
“Second, S. E. Alaska cargo moves
in smaller shipments. Third, the in
ability to work freighters around
the clock due to longshore working
rules and gang shortages increases
the length of time vessels require
to discharge and load. Fourth, there
is also the matter of longshore
production when the ships are work
ing. In S. E’. Alaska the average is
la tons per hour; in S. W. Alaska
an tons per hour, or 22 per cent
moie proauction than in tins area.”
Skinner cited the February sailing
of the Squaie Knot, which sailed
Willi i,94i tons of cargo for seven
j. E. ports, taking 22 days for the
voyage, ihe $37,ODD revenue wa> on
set by $j3,0UI) expense, or a net loss
of $10,000 lor the trip.
Question rerioo
In a question period following
Skinner's talk Harold Foss brought
up the matter of how increased
rates at this tipie would affect con
tractors who had been successlul
bidders on various construction pro.
jects. Questions also brought out
that passenger ships v>vre fully
loaded with cargo now when leaving
Seattle; that the stevedoring situa
tion was a major factor in the
necessity for the increased rates.
A request for rate increases have
have not yet been filed, Skinner
said, lut Ire iwajiter} to -talk with
the gioUps that »would be affected
before doing so.
Kagle reported that five
mefi had contacted him regarding

Alaska is one of the most favored

livery of essential machinery dur
I ing 1951, according to E. G. White

Northern Commercial Co., who re
, turned recently from the company’s
| annual meeting in Seattle. "Our
meeting was addressed by repre
sentatives of 20 or more machinery
manufacturers,” said E. G White
head, “and nearly all of them
agreed that right now Alaska r
getting more machinery on defense
orders than any section of the
West. We found, too, that there'
a strong disposition on the part oi
manufacturers to favor non-rate
! orders from Alaska as much as they
; can. They’re anxious to build in
distribution here because they lock
to Alaska for expanding market,
whenever the war situation clears
j up."
J. A. Justeson, assistant western
' sales manager for Caterpillar
Tractor Co., stated at the meeting
that he could see the beginnings ol
i a new tendency ir. the government
| to recognize the machinery needs
of essentia! civilian industries, in
cluding agriculture. Much the same
idea was voiced by H. B. Pence of
John Deers Plow Co., who recalled
that during World War I orders
fer agricultural implements were
rated - next to defense orders. Mr.
Pence was a visitor in Juneau last
| June.

MacARTHUR
GETS REBUFF,
RED CHINA
—
TOKYO, March 20 —OH— Red
China rebuffed General MacArth
ur’s peace bid today as impertinent,
insulting and “worth urily a single
laugh.”
A Communist broadcast from
Peiping said “the entire Chinese
people will . . . fight unrelentingly
until the aggressor is completely
driven from Korea.”
It gave the Chinese a distorted
version of M .cArthur’.s staleme.it
of last Saturday.
The broadcast said MacArthi r
“has declared that the Unhcd States
and Britain are preparing to di
rectly invade China.”
MacArthur, in offering la talk
peace with the Communist com
mander in Korea, warned that Chi
na would face military disaster it
the United Nations should carry
the war to its shores.
Twisting his proposal into a pro
paganda boomerang, the Commun
ists called on China’s millions to
fight to the finish.
For the first time, China spoke
of the entire Chinese people as com
mitted to a “sacred struggle for
ihc cfcierne of their state.” Previ
ously Red China has called her
troops in Korea "volunteers.”
The Chinese language broadcast
:aid the “Chinese committee fer the
defense < peace” had termed the
MacAriUor bid "insulting to the
oe .plc of Korea and China.”
