The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Copyright, 1951, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
By DREW PEARSON
Washington — The nation’s
capital today is witnessing the
most nauseating spasm of large
and petty graft since this newsman
began covering Washington
There are several reasons for this,
as previously enumerated in this
column, one of them being the fact
that Government officials have lost
their sense of smell.
When the man at the top in
government can’t smell the bad
odor arising from the distribution
of deep freezes by his military aide,
or when he defends the commodity
grain speculation of his White
House doctor, and tolerates airline
lobbying by his chief secretary, then
the olfactory nerves of those around
him get dull too.
Another important reason for the
sickening spectacle of graft and
favoritism, however, Is the current
system of political campaign con
tributions. This is something the
public little realizes.
It has now become a standard
practice for both big business and
labor unions to obligate Congress
men. After you have made your
contribution to a Congressman’s
political campaign, you then benefit

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29—UP!—
A shipping strike set for tomor

have been averted.
Federal conciliator Omar Hoskins
announces that agreement has been
reached between Pacific Maritime
Association and the AFL Sailors
Union of the Pacific.
The Maritime Association had yet
to come to agreement with the AFL
Masters, Mates and Pilots, but an
other meeting was scheduled for
10 a.m. today. It had been predicted
earlier that settlement with the
Sailors Union would pave the way
for agreement with the deck offic

' The threatened strike would have
tied up shipping on the west coast
and might have spread to the
east and gulf coasts.

In Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 29—(A1)—
President Peron announced today
the resignation of his minister of
the navy. This came less t* an 24
hours after Peron told the i ation
he had put down a revolt aimed at
the assassination of him and his
wife.
Peron’s press office said Adm.

The gallant New York Giants,
ied for first place after wiping out
i 13H game Brooklyn lead, threaten
o elbow into the World Series with
,he New York Yankees in one of
jaseball’s greatest comebacks.
With the Yanks already “in” after
Vllie Reynold’s no-hitter and yes
erday’s double win over Boston,
he Giants rate an even chance to
iharge past the fading Dodgers, 4-3
osers to the Phillies.
Pushed into a tie by Brooklyn’s
oss, the idle Giants play at Boston
oday and tomorrow while the Dod
;ers meet the Phils in two singles
it Philadelphia.
May Be Playoff
Unless the tie is broken there
will be a best-of-three playoff for
‘he National League championship,
starting at Brooklyn Monday.
The Dodger night loss almost stole
the play from the Yanks’ third
straight pennant clinching a'nd 18th
in their history. Even Reynolds’
brilliant no-hitter, his second of the
season lost some of its luster amidst
the wild confusion over the National
League race.
Indians Second Place
The double Boston loss eliminated
idle Cleveland, now 3% back, but
also assured the Indians of finish
ing second.
The Phillies who were staggering
around at this time last year trying
to win a pennant, took a falf out of
the Dodgers. Willie Jones’ ninth
inning single scoring speedy Richie
Ashburn from second beat Carl
Erskine. Andy Seminick's two-run
homer in the eighth tied the score.
Earlier Roy Campanula's homer
helped the Dodgers build up a 3-0
lead on Karl Drews.
Just to rub it in, an ex-Giant,
Andy Hansen, was the winning Phil
pitcher.
There were other games: Cin
cinnati shaded Pittsburgh, 4-3, and
the Chicago White Sox swept a twi
night double from St. Louis, 6-2
and 4-3 in 10 innings. A Philadel
phia-Washington night game was
postponed because ot cold weather.
The other teams were not scheduled.
Auto Safety Check
Being Continued;
40 Cited Friday
Drivers of 40 automobiles were
given tickets yesterday in a safety
check, Police Chief Bernard Hulk
said today. Two hundred ten cars
were checked for lights, mufflers,
brakes and other safety measures.
“This is to alert drivers to have
their vehicles in safe driving con
dition before winter driving hazards
develop,” Hulk said.
A check of local garages shows
that mechanics are swamped with
work as a rseult of the campaign
now under way in cooperation with
the Alaska Highway Patrol.
Delinquent drivers are being cit
ed into municipal court and fined.
Catherine Mack

Photo Contest
The judging of photographs in
the Golden North Salmon Derby
photo contest has been completed,
Joe Werner, chairman of the com
mittee said today.
Not as many entries came in as
were hoped for, Werner said. How

with advertising the 1952 derby.
First prize for a kodachrome shot
it Tee Harbor taken by Catherine
Mack copped the first prize of $25.
Second went to George Sundborg
with another color shot showing
;he boats leaving Tee Harbor. He

No Advance in
Freight Rales
Alaska Railroad
Decision Announced by
Johnson; New Proposal
Made Coal Shipments
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 29—
(ifl—Increases in Alaska Railroad
freight rates which were scheduled
to go into effect Oct. 15 have been
cancelled, General Manager John
P. Johnson announces.
Johnson said the volume of traf
fic has exceeded expectations be
tween July and September and
earnings indicate the present rates
can be continued for the time being
without incurring a deficit.
The cancellation has been ap
proved by the Secretary of the In
terior.
Johnson said he plans to go to
Washington next week to press for
greater tonnages for th^ railroad by
federal agencies that are big ship
pers in Alaska. He also said he
would seek relief for the railroad
from covering deficit operation of
river boats with the overall revenue
of the line.
He expressed the hope that pro
tests against the freight rate ln»
crease will make federal agencies
there more aware of the railroad’s
problems so he can obtain more
active assistance in incheasing
revenues.
Johnson said he 'jould also press
for sale of Alaska coal to Japan,
which he understood was seeking
1,500,000 tons a year.
“Japan would build unloading
docks at Seward for handling coal
brought there by railroad.” he told
a group of local businessman. "This
would give the railroad a valuable
backhaul that would make it pos
sible to overhaul tariffs.”
He cited as possible aids to road
revenues the hauling of explosives
for use in drilling the Eklutna
hydro-electric tunnel, the movement
of airplane engines going to the
fstates for overhaul, and shipment of
furniture of military personnel.
Road employees were warned,
however, that the annual fall layoff
will “go deeper this year to cut
the payroll down as another step
to keep expenditures within rev
enues.”

Iran Oil Dispute
Case Goes Before
UN Security Council
Premier Mossadegh, Sir
Gladwyn Jebb Will
Present Arguments
LONDON, Sept. 29—!iP)—Iran’s
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh
and Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb will
plead the case for their government
in the boiling oil dispute before the
U.N. Security Council next week.
This was disclosed today in Lon
don and Tehran. It will pit a pol
ished British diplomat against a
frail highly emotional veteran
Iranian politician in a controversy
which the British say endangers
world peace. Britain tossed the long
and bitter dispute over nationaliza
tion of Iran's oil riches to the coun
cil yesterday.
Jebb will leave by plane for New
York tonight. He will ask the
council to call upon the government
of Iran not to carry out its evic
tion notice to the technicians at
Abadan to get out by next Thurs
day. Britain has warned ‘‘grave
consequences" would follow a com
plete takeover at the Abadan re
finery.
Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi
told newsmen that “the government
does not consider the Security Coun
cil competent to consider the dis
pute which is purely an internal
affair" That is the line expected
to be followed by Iran’s premier at
the hearings.
The Foreign Office denied reports
published today in Britain news
papers that British ships had started
a • naval blockade of the Persian
Gulf to prevent Iran from shipping
any oil from the Abadan refinery.
"There are a number of British
ships in the Persian Gulf now," a
spokesman said, “but no orders have
been issued for a blockade of the
Gulf.”

Alaska Projects Included
in Legislation
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28— M —
President Truman today signed leg
islation authorising a $5,864,000,000
global U. S. military construction
program.
Congress has yet to appropriate
the funds. But the House Military
Appropriations subcommittee is
meeting in day-long sessions to
speed necessary legislation to the
floor.
The major portion of the proposed
construction, nearly $3,500,000,000,
is for strengthening the Air Force’s
ground Installations in the United
States, in the territories and over
seas.
This is the largest construction
program ever authorized in one
lump bill by Congress—and there
will be more to come when Congress
reconvenes in January.
The bill lists about $335,000,000
for Alaska projects.
It includes a $61,223,800 item un
der “Alaska, general" and includes
troop housing, tactical, supporting
facilities, petroleum pipeline, am
munition dock and utilities.
The other biggest project allo
cations in the bill include: Elmen
tlorf Air Force Base $97,007,000;
Ladd Base $67,106,000; Eielson Base,
$41,625,000.
Delegate Bartlett said during the
bill’s consideration that the pipeline
project would be a six or eight-inch
line from Haines to Eielson for
arrying gasoline and jet fuel.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29— UK —
An estimated tax increase of be

Pinal passage was by a 57 to 19 vote
after nine days of stormy, some

The Senate bill carries $1,760,
000,000 less estimated revenue than
the measure passed by the House In

Territory Pays Its
Share on Seward
Nurses' Residence
"A big step has been taken to
ward meeting the many various
hospital needs throughout the Ter

missioner of the Alaska Department
of Health, said today.
Albrecht recently returned from
western and Interior Alaska. At
Seward work on a new nurses’ resi

$82,000 from the Territory as its
share in the Joint construction of

Another $82,000 has been provided

present hospital facilities are hous
ed in an old reconverted school
building.”
Albrecht said that the questions
raised by Territorial Auditor Nell

Red China
Making
Charges
Says US Has Wrecked
Peace Talks; Claims
Landings Planned
By WILLIAM JORDEN
TOKYO, Sept. 29—Ufh-Red China
tonight asserted the United States
has wrecked the Kaesong truce talks
and is preparing amphibious land
ings on both coasts of North Korea.
A Peiping broadcast monitored
here said the Americans plan to
drive Red forces to the Yalu River
boundary between North Korea
and Manchuria, and to bomb Com
munist bases in northeast China.
There was no immediate comment
by UN officials in Tokyo.
The propaganda blast came just
24 hours after Oen. Omar Bradley
arrived to confer with United Na
tions commander Oen. Matthew B.
Ridgway. Bradley is chairman of
the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. A
headquarters statement said he ajid
Ridgway discussed “military mat
ters of mutual Interest.”
Presumably their talk* covered
the course of action to be taken
by United Nation's forces if the
stalemated truce talk* break down
altogether.
Peiping did not mention Rldg
way’s proposal, made Thursday,
that talks be shifted from Kaesong
to the vicinity of the no-man’s
land village of Songhyon, six miles
southeast of there.
The broadcast said, “in order to
conquer the whole of North Korea,
the American have decided to train
five more divisions, drive the (north)
Korean and Chinese forces to the
Yalu River and bomb the Com
munist bases in northeast China.”
Peiping said the commander*
of «he tw« national award dfels
f low* now training in Japan—the
Mth of California and the 43th
of Oklahoma, recently visited
Korea “for a first-hand survey.”
Peiping spoke of “two new U. 8.
fighter and bomber wings which It
said had been recently transferred
to Japan irom U. 8. bases, and
new additions to the UN naval forc
es in Korean waters. One was iden
tified as the U. S. aircraft carrier
Essex. The Essex has been in ac
tion for some time.
Bradley, Ridgway and State
Departments advisor Charles
Bohlen met In Ridgway's down
town office this morning. No con
ferences were scheduled in the af
ternoon.
Bohlen is the State Department's
top authority on Russia.
Diplomatic sources made it clear
he was here to work with Bradley
and Ridgway. He flew here yriday
with Bradley.
While the highly-secret talks
went on, United Nations officials
stood by at Munsan, Korea. They
awaited a Red reply to Ridgway's
proposal that the talks be moved
from Kaesong to the no-man’s
land area six miles to the southeast.
The proposal was made Thursday.

U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, Sept. 30—(^1—
Allied warplanes today roared into
dark Korean skies in pre-dawn
attacks on an estimated 1,000 Com
munist vehicles.
The heavy road traffic apparently
was a substitute for Red rail move
ments, disrupted by heavy air at
tacks during the past six weeks.
The main masses of trucks were
spotted between Sairwon and Py
ongyang, south of Yangdok and
south of Wonsan. In these areas
trains normally carry the bulk of
Red supplies to the front.
Late Saturday a cold steady rain
settled down over the Korean front.
It blanketed out the air war, and
almost all ground action.
Except for a few scattered skir
mishes. infantry of both sides hud
fled in foxholes and dugouts, try
ing to keep warm and dry.
