Market
Demanded
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23—<£>—The
American Mining Congress adopted
a recommendation Monday that
producers of gold should be allowed
to sell it domestically or abroad.
It adopted a resolution demanding
a return to the gold standard to
check inflation and urged removal
of restrictions on Americans’ own
ership of gold.
A currency not backed by gold
and silver, the resolution said, in
) vites unrestrained “deficit financ
ing, waste and careless acceptance
oi commitments impossible for fu
ture generations to meet.”
In a second resolution, the min
ing congress asked a “streamlining
and simplification of government
agencies, and the elimination of a
, multiplicity of bureaus dealing with
mining activities.”
A return of “free, private, com
petitive enterprise” in the mining
industry was also sought in a third
resolution which included the
pledge of “unyielding oppositu.
to' Comm:,:.ism.”
Coast Guard
Starts Search
For Three Boats
An SOS radio signal from the
fishing,boat Jewell was heard by
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Birch at
Security Cove on Sunday at 8:30
p.m. and this morning the Coast
Guard plane based at Annette
1 started an air search for the boat.
Aboard the Jewell were Leonard
Korn and Bill O'Neill. The men
left Warm Springs Bay on Sunday
at 6:15 p.m. and had planned to
sail through Peril Straits to Sitka.
This first radio distress message
heard by the Birchs’ was that the
Jewell was shipping water and then
the men said the boat was sinking.
News of the missing ship was
brought to Coast Guard headquart
ers by Captain Walter Sperl of
the mailboat Yakobi.
Another Boat Reported
p The Coast Guard plane will search
in this area for the fishing vessel,
Alaska Maid which is long overdue
at Sitka. The Alaska Maid, captain
ed by Louis Basco left Juneau on
October 13 for Sitka and has not
been heard of since. The Ida II
was being towed to Sitka by the
Alaska Maid.
Although there is no definite in
1 formation, it is believed that there
are two other men traveling with
v Basco to Sitka.

TFaSHINGTON—One day after
Senator Taft’s official announce
ment that his hat was in the ring,
Eisenhower forces held a private
strategy meeting in the office of
Pennsylvania's Senator Jim Duff
on Capitol HU1.
One of those attending the meet
ing had flown in from Paris the
day before, where he had spent a
week end with the general and
found him still in a mood to run
as a Republican if the Republican
Party wants him.
Out of this and other conversa
tions came several tentative decis
ions:
1. Eisenhower’s name will defin
itely be entered in the New Hamp
shire primary—the first primary to
be held. With Gov. Sherman Adams
strong for Eisenhower, with Sen
ator Tobey already publicly on re
cord, and Senator Bridges reported
privately for him, an Eisenhower
victory in New Hampshire is con
sidered certain. ,
2. Probably there will be a full

Third Atomic
Blast Reported
In Russia
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — </P> —
A third atomic blast has occurred
in Russia, the White House an
nounced late yesterday, and “there
may be more such blasts.’!
Giving those bare details, W’hite
House Press Secretary Joseph Short
said the new atomic’blast in the
Soviet was “apparently . . . part of
a test series."
The announcement came on the
same day that the U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission IAEC) set off
a puzzlingly small A-blast on the
Frenchman’s Flat testing ground
near Las Vegas, Nev.
The White House announcement
about the Soviet explosion did not
use the word “bomb,” which was
employed Oct, 3 in the announce
ment of a second Russian blast.
Secretary Short did not explain
why it had been concluded that
the new blast was part of a test
series.
'We Want
Arms' Shout
Cairo Hobs
i
] CAIRO. Egypt. Oct. 23 — tgl —
| Egyptian mobs roamed the streets
of Cairo today shouting for arms
to settle their differences with the
PriHcb Tt ** “,ifiv
of mourning” to honor 16 Egyptians
killed in last week’s disorders.
The crowds in Cairo, estimated at
several thousand, were fairly or
derly, but in Alexandria, Egypt’s
second largest city, police were
forced to fire shots into the air
and buckshot into the ground to
keep demonstrators in check.
The new demonstrations followed
i a British move sharply cutting rail
! and traffic and banning road move
| ment in the disputed Suez Cai\al
I area. The traffic cuts will remain
| in force until Egyptian dock labor
j ers, boycotting the unloading of
j British supply ships at the British
military port of Adabia, 10 miles
south of Suez, go back to work, a
British spokesman said.
In Cairo where anti-British feel
ing was rising, the demonstrators
yelled: “We W'ant arms.” One of
the crowd held up a gun and
shouted: “This is how we will talk
to Attlee."
All shops were closed this after
noon in Alexandria and Cairo.
An open car filled with demon
strators attempted to drive to the
Garden City area of Cairo where
the British and American Embassies
are located. A guard of 50 Egyp
tian police turned them back when
they reached within a half block of
the area.
The British increased their hold
on the Suez Canal area last night
by seizing the harbor and rail sta
tiop at Port Suez.
Gamblers Threaten
Military Training,
Says Senator
BILOXI, Miss., Oct. 23—<B—Sen.
Hunt (D-Wyo) sees the future of
universal military training threat
ened 'by gamblers around military
bases.
Hunt, a member of the Senate
Preparedness committee, conducted
a hearing here yesterday to deter
mine the effect of gambling on the
30,000 airmen stationed at Keesler
Air Force base. The committee
will soon hold similar hearings at
other yet undesignated bases.
He said at the conclusion of
the hearing last night that the
testimony left the committee no
alternative but to submit “an un
favorable and highly critical report”
on gambling here, and warned:
“If conditions like this continue,
I think universal military* training
will go out of the window.”
The basis of the committee’s
"highly critical” report will be testi
mony that Sen. Hunt said showed
gambling interests had so en
trenched themselves as to “virtually
control the economic life of the
area.”
W. L. Levar, of Fairbanks, is

• IjAO V HiUno, iicv., v/wu —
Americans, always in awe of size,
had something different to ponder
today: the successful detonation of
an atomic weapon so small it flared
less than a TNT blast, yet so pow
erful it demolished a 100-foot steel
tower.
Yesterday’s amazing test may
have ushered Th the age of the baby
A-bomb. No test was scheduled
today but there may be another
bigger blast tomorrow.
Tight lipped Atomic Energy Com
mission officials conceded there
wouldn’t be a smaller explosion than
“Operation Pinpoint” which started
a series of blasts at the TEC’s Ne
vada proving ground that prob
ably will run through this week
and next.
Many observers, including some
military men just back from Korea,
found it difficult to believe that a
nuclear explosion could emit light
for a mere fraction of a second,
and make less noise than a heavy
artillery shot.
Yet the downward thrust of the
detonation flattened the tower from
which the small atomic blast was
set off. “There’s nothing left of
the tower,” Test Manager Carroll L.
Tyler remarked, indicating perhaps
that the small portion was as lethal
in some respects as the original
Alamorgordo A-bomb which melted
its tower.
There was comparatively little
radiation from the vest-pocket blast,
the AEC said. The air over the
test range was reopened to planes
less than four hours after the 6
a.m. exp/vsion.

sian orders, today vacated the dis
puted village of Steinstuecken af
ter controlling the area for five
days.
West German police said the
Communist garrison left the area
some time this morning. The Rus
sians notified American authorit
ies they had ordered the eastern
police out. The Soviets said the
U. S. and the Russians now could
discuss the status of the 50-family
village the Russians seized last
week.
The village is an island on the
border between the Russian and
American sectors of Berlin. The east
German state of Brandenburg sent
in People’s police without warning
to take it over, and the western
allies protested swiftly.
In a conciliatory note, Soviet De

the final statuts of the island vill

30 Miles of
N Y. Docks
Strikebound
Rebel Longshoremen
Tighten Stranglehold;
Spreads to Boston
NEW YORK, Oct. 23—UP)—Motor
caravans of striking rebel longshore
men roved the waterfront today,
tightening their stranglehold that
has paralyzed more than 30 miles
of docks in the vast port of New
York.
With tons of army materiel and
civilian goods piled high on the idle
piers, the strikers were almost in
complete control of the world’s
largest harbor.
To prevent a higher pile-up, the
American Association of Railroads
has embargoed most freight con
signed here for export and for
coastal shipping.
Strike at Boston
With the strike already spread to
Boston, the association said a sim
ilar embargo on freight to that port
would be ordered today.
About 1,500 Boston longshoremen
and 400 freight handlers refused to
work today, striking in sympathy
with the New York wildcatters, who
are demanding reopening of a wage
contract recently negotiated by the
AFL International Longshoremen’3
Association.
Pickets Ignored
At one of the few piers In the
New York harbor area still working
about 150 longshoremen ignored the
i pleas of strike pickets and began
' unloading mail and passenger bag
gage from the French Line's lie de
France.
“What's the hell’s the idea of
breaking our strike?” demanded one
of the pickets, threatening ‘that
there’d be a bigger picket line on '
hand later in the day.
White Collar Workers

pier the liner Queen Mary prepared
to sail. White collar workers, some j
wearing white gloves and with neat'
white handkerchiefs peeking from
their pockets, helped load passenger \
baggage.
A temporary strike truce was de
clared at the New York port of
embarkation on Staten Island to
permit the loading of three Army
troop ships.
Federal mediators are meeting
with both union factions, trying to
settle the dispute.
The strikers are demanding a 25
cents-an-hour wage boost instead of
one for 10 cents granted in a new
contract. The average docker’s pay
is $2.10.
TO SUPPORT STRIKES
NEW YORK, Oct. 23—MV-'The
CIO National Maritime Union offer
ed its support today to striking rebel
longshoremen who have paralyzed
the port of New York.
Joseph Curran, president of the
NMU, said his union would respect
picket lines of striking longshore
men. v
Curran’s offer to back the striker’s
was made in a speech to 500 dele
gates to the eighth biennial NMU
convention.
He said "if the ship owners load
with scabs ,our seamen on those
ships will not tolerate that activ
ity.”
Curran told the delegates that
he was investigating circumstances
at the pier where the U. S. Lines
passenger liner, America, is prepar
ing to sail Thursday.
“If the longshoremen are on the
street and the scabs let go the lines
on that vessel, she is not going to
move,” he declared. "My advice to
the U. S. Lines is to settle the strike
with the workers.”
George Apostol Gets
Appointment to OPS
George N. Apostol, assistant at
torney general of Alaska since April
has been appointed enforcement
director for the Office of Price
Stabilization.
The appointment of Apostol is an
nounced by Fred G. Hanford, terri
torial director of OPS.
Apostol will head investigation
and enforcement activities for the
territorial OPS and expects to
build a staff of eight or 10 special
agents.
“Our plan for the time being is
to work with and assist merchant
in complying with regulations,” Ap
ostol said. “In due time, it ma>
be necessary to bring action again ’
wilful violators.”
“I have enjoyed working with the
attorney general’s office and was
reluctant to make the change," he
said. He added that Federal civil
service advantages prompted his de
cision.

Red Mao Says

On Peace Talk
MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 23—Ml—
Red China's Peiping radio quoted
Premier Mao Tse-Tung today as
saying Chinese will continue to "re
sist America” until the U.S. accepts
Red peace proposals in Korea.
The Red Chinese premier added
that armistice negotiations "will be
a success if America takes a ra
tion^ stand in truce talks.”
me broadcast was heard in Tokyo
as the Reds let another day slip
by without approving an agreement
to reope" cease-fire talks which
they bro '. r.ff two month." ago.
Mao’.-, •••‘marks were taken to
mean l.r Communists haven’t
changed their position (luring the
(wo-inoniil break in negotiations.
Hod negotiators had insisted on
a cease-fire line along the 38th
parallel. They salt! tile United
Nations emphasis on a battle line
truce was irrational.
Earlier Peiping radio reported the
Reds had reshuffled their five-man
truce team, naming two new dele
gates. A U.N. spokesman said the
change might indicate the Reds
would place greater emphasis on
military realities and less on polit
ical considerations.
Reorganization of the Commun
ist delegation was announced as
the Reds Ignored a U.N. challenge
to ratify quickly new truce talk
rules. That was the only thing
still needed to reopen negotia
tions to end the fighting in Ko

possibility of a meeting before
Wednesday.
Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, top
Allied negotiator, signed the new
ground rules Monday a few hours
after liaison officers approved them.
He asked North Korean Lt. Gen.

to act quickly so negotiations could

Coal Producers
Face U. S. Court
In Fairbanks
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, OcJ. 23—<.0
—Alaska coal producers accused of1
Sherman Anti-Trust Law violations
went on trial before a jury in Fed
eral District Court here yesterday.
Defendants in the action which
court officials said may last a
week or longer were the Healy
River Coal Corp., Usibelli Coal
mines, Evan Jones Coal Co., and
Harrv J. Hill and Emil Usibelli.
The government has charged they
violated anti-trust laws by making
agreements with regard to furnish
ing coal to consumers.
Government attorneys introduced
a number of summaries of coal re
quirements of Alaska military bases,
together with bids to fill the re
quirements as the trial opened in
Judge Harry Pratt’s v..atroom.
The attorneys charged that the
requirements and the bids usually
totaled about the same amounts.
Leonard O. Jones, civilian pur
chasing agent for military, testified
for the government in connection
with the summaries which* were
offered as exhibits. However, Judge
Pratt ordered Jones’ testimony
stricken when, in answer to prose
cution questions, he testified to a
belief that “the similarity of re
quirements to the total bids was
more than a coincidence.”
During cross-examination by the
defense, Jones made changes in the
original exhibits after the defense
produced figures to show Jones
had not taken into accounting the
bdis of all producers along the rail
belt in summarizing the bidding
on military requirements. ,
isthmian Vessel
Can't Discharge,
Frisco Wharf
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 23-—UP)- -
Spokesmen for the strike-plagued
Isthmian Steamship Co., say most
San Francisco docks are closed to
their vessels.
They discovered that Monday
when they tried to move a freighter
out of the bay into a wharf so
sheriff’s deputies could unload a
cargo of Christmas toys.
“The white plague is on us," an
Isthmian spokesman said. "The
companies are afraid their piers
will be tied up if one of our ships
comes in.”
Isthmian, under court order to
unload the toys for a local depart
ment store, has been boycotted
three months by Harry Bridges’ In
ternational Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s Union.
The ILWU refused to unload the
ships after Isthmian signed a con
tract with AFL marine engineers
while Isthmian’s CIO engineers
were on strike.
Part of the toy shipment from
the freighter Steel Artisan was un
loaded Saturday by deputies. But
the line failed to find additional
dock space for unloading the Steel
Traveler, anchored in the bay.
In Los Angeles, the navy took over
unloading of 327 tons of cargo
from Isthmian’s Steel Rover. It
said the cargo was urgently needed.
Bridges’ own Local 10 of the IL
WU voted here last night to hold
stop-work meetings If Isthmian at
tempts to unload the ships with
AFL stevedores.

Damage Suit,
Spruce Corp.
Back in Court
•
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — W —
The Supreme Court has agreed to
review a $750,000 damage verdict
won by the Juneau Spruce Corp. of
Juneau, Alaska, against Harry
Bridges’ longshoremen's union.
The nward was made by a federal
court jury in Alaska on the firm’s
complaint that its business was
damaged by'picketing and coercive
statements by the union. The com
pany said it had a contract with the
CIO International Wood Workers
at the time the pickets sought to
force it to give barge-loading work
to members of the longshoremen’s
union.
The verdict, granted under the
Taft-Hnrtley Labor Law, was up
held by the U.S. Circuit Court in
San Francisco. The union’s appeal
to the high court questioned
whether the suit could be brought
under the circumstances of the Ju
neau case. The court's agreement
to hear the case was made known
yesterday. Arguments probably
will be scheduled early in the new
year.
Iran Premier,
Truman Talk
On Oil Dispute
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — IJPi —
Iran’s' Premier Mohammed Mossa
degh lunched with President Tru
man today amid speculation that
a new move may be near to settle
the Angio-Iranian oil crisis.
Diplomatic informants suggested
that Mr. Truman may have urged
the premier to re-open direct nego
tiations with the British now that
the United Nations has voted to
adopt a temporary hands-off atti
tude.
The U.N. Security Council voted
8 to 1 last Friday to shelve any
action until the International Court
of Justice at the Hague deckles
whether the court has Jurisdiction
to intervene.
Authoritative U.N. quarters have
said Iran and Britain art actually
nearer agreement now than they
were when Mossadegh laid his
country’s case before the Security
Council. Mossadegh argued that
the U.N. had no right to intervene
in the dispute.
Informants said that with tJ.N.
action indefinitely postponed, Mos
sadegh may feel more inclined to
resume talks with the British in an
effort to get his country’s virtually
paralyzed oil production flowing
again.
