RESTAURANT HELP
MAY WALKOUT; ASK
FOR BO T WAGES
The hotel and restaurant employ
ees union Local 871 (AFL) has vot
ed 6 to 1 to strikg if demands for
pay increases are not met by mid
night tomorrow when the present
contract expires, it was announced
today by Cledamae Cammock, bus
iness agent for the union.
The union had previously conced
ed a demand for a 40-hour week.
The employers countered with a
50-cent per day increase in some
crafts but it was refused by the
union membership.
Under the present contract hotel
clerks are now working for $1.19 per
hour and are asking for $$1.31; bell
boys and elevator operators are get
ting 81 cents per hour and asking
$1; waitresses are being paid 93
cents per hour and asking for $1.06;
hotel maids get $1 an hour and are
asking $1.25; cooks are being paid
$1.75 per hour and requesting $1.82.
"In light of increased cost of liv
ing, we feel that these requests are
not unreasonable,” Mrs. Cammock
said .
"In event that the strike takes
place the union has arranged to
take over the Mirror Cafe to feed
the public that must eat downtown,”
she added.
A two-and-a-half hour meeting
of union representatives and em
ployers this afternoon resulted in a
deadlock. It was still hoped that
something could be worked out be
fore midnight tomorrow to avert
the pending strike.
4 ALASKA AIRFIELDS
ARE COMPLETED
WITHIN ONE WEEK
Just before returning to Anchor
age today after about two weeks
in this area, Alaska Aviation Direc
tor George S. (Tony) Schwamm
expressed satisfaction over progress
of airport construction in the Ter
ritory.
Four air strips will have been
completed in the week between last
Tuesday and next Tuesday.
Schwamm had just received word
from Lytle and Green in Anchor
age that work on the Fort Yukon
airport was finished at noon today.
‘‘This means a lot to all the
back country there,” Schwamm
said. “Fort Yukon serves the big
area of the Chandalar country, the
Porcupine and Upper Yukon areas,
and it should mean lower freight
rates for supplies."
The 3,750-foot gravel runway is
long enough for DC-3’s.
With the Federal Government
bearing approximately two-thirds of
the expense, the total contract was
for $123,200.
A 2,000-foot gravel runway under
contract to J. Ramstad Construc
tion Company, Anchorage, was
completed Saturday at Seldovia.
With the Territory carrying about
one-third of the cost, construction
of this strip came to $47,280.
The Matanuska Valley Fair Asso
ciation is sponsoring a dedication
ceremony for the official opening
of the Matanuska Valley Airport
at Palmer Saturday afternoon, the
day on which construction is sched
uled for completion.
The old 2,500-foot north-south
runway now will be 3,750 feet long.
The east-west runway has been ex
tended from 1,800 to 4,900 feet, long
enough to permit landings of DC
4’s.
Total cost of this project under
the Federal Aid to Airport program
was $121,227. The contract was
awarded to the Palmer Construc
tion Company.
After inspecting tne bkagway
project yesterday, Schwamm voiced
special satisfaction with that con
struction.
“I am very proud of that air
port,” he said today. “It came out
even better than we expected.”
The 3,700-foot gravel runway is
due to be finished Tuesday, work
being done by the Munter Coh
struction Company. This strip will
cost $113,773.
All four runways were construc
ted under the Federal Airport Aid
program.
Besides those mentioned, the
Warm Springs Bay seaplane base
on Baranof Island was completed
yesterday. The new float for the
Sitka seaplane base has been towed
there, although it is not yet moored.
Schwamm spent part of his time
in Southeast Alaska inspecting
those and other seaplane floats.

TO JANUARY
_
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30—i.TV-Tile j
Senate Armed Services Committee j
today voted 8 to 3 to put off action
on a universal military training
bill until next January. That is
What President Truman wanted.
The group authorized Chairman
Tydings (D-Md) to name as a sub- [
committee meanwhile, to prepare a [
comprehensive measure for the new j
Congress and to demand priority
for its immediate consideration up
on convening the January session.

SPECIALISTS TO
BE DRAFTED FOR
ARMEDSERYICES
House Passes Measure by
362 to 1 - Doctors,
Dentists Wanted
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—W—The
House today passed 362 to one leg
islation permitting a draft of doc
tors, dentists and ‘ allied specialists”
l'ur the Armed services.
A similar bill was passed by the
Senate yesterday, but there are
differences which will have to be
adjusted before the legislation goes
to President Truman.
The one opposing vote in the
House was cast by Rep. Marcan
tonio (ALP-NY). Rep. Hedrick (D
WVA) voted “present.”
The House bill permits a draft of
doctors up to and including age 50;
of dentists through age 45.
As the measure came from the
Armed Services committee it was 45
for both doctors and dentists, but
at the last minute an amendment
was adopted raising the age for
doctors to 50. It was offered by
Rep. Saylor (R-Penn).
If called up they would be liable
for 21 months duty. Doctors, den
tists and some of the allied spec
ialists would be given commissions.
SALMON FISHING
CONTINUES SLOW
IN SECOND WEEK
Analysis by the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service of fishtrap catch
reports in Southeast Alaska for
the second week of the season show,
in general, a decline from the first
week’s averages.
While a storm at the close of
last week kept many traps from be
I ing brailed Friday, many were
reached Saturday and some Sun
day. The daily average catch per
trap indicates a decline in the run
even before the storm.
The canned salmon pack report
for the week ending August 26
shows much lower packs than in
1949 except along the west coast,
where the 1950 pack actually ex
ceeded that of last year for the
same period. Comparative totals
are 152,587 cases this year, against
142,122 in 1949.
As of August 26, the total south
east Alaska pack is slightly more
than half that of the comparable
1949 period—590,849 cases against
1,041,800.
The pack in other parts of Al
aska are more than the comparable
1949 period. Central Alaska shows
1,398,939 cases against last year’s
1,258,986's; Western Alaska 619,
182 this year, compared to 588,550
in 1949.
With the total for Alaska stand
ing at 2,608,970 as of August 26,
salmon industry officials consider
that a pack of 3,000,000 cases over
all would be lucky. Three million
would be one of the smallest packs
in the history of the industry in
Alaska.
With only this week to go, it still
would be possible to take up the
slack in Southeast Alaska, given
the fish, as the canning capacity is
200,000 cases a day.
GIVEN BLAST
DEFENSES IN
SOUTH KOREA
(Continued from Page One)
dropped in North Korea, has advised
citizens to move away from target
cities and tells them “you can help
build a strong, free Korea after
the Communists have been driven
out,"
The Reds in North Korea stepped
up their propaganda against Am
erican bombings, claiming in a
broadcast from Pyongyang, their
capital, that U. S. bombers hit a
field hospital. The broadcast said a
protest note had been sent to the
UN.
Air, Sea Attacks
But the unrelenting American at
tacks from air and sea continued,
putting a steady drain on Com
munist supply lines throughout Kor
ea. The planes also attacked heav
ily all along the 120-mile battle
front, listing 25 tanks and 87 trucks
destroyed or damaged in yesterday’s
raids.
The planes were giving strong
support to the South Koreans on the
Pohang front on the eastern coastal
sector.
Reds Near Pohang
Communist forces, pressing an of
fensive with 40,000 troops on two
sectors along the Allied northern
wall in South Korea, smashed to
within rifle range of tortured Po
hang port today. United Nations
troops lashed back, but their small
scale counterattack was stalled af
ter pushing the Reds back a mile
north of the port city.
The battle along the northern
line grew hourly in intensity. The
outskirts of Pohang, eastern anchor
of the United Nations beachhead in
South Korea, were wrecked in the
furious see-saw fighting. The Com
munists also threatened to the west,
18 miles north of Taegue, forward
base of UN forces. Behind the Reds’
40,000 northern front troops, more
strength was reported massing—
perhaps three divisions strong.
Battling For Hill
On the central Naktong River
front U. S. First Cavalry Division
forces drove against a hill position
of the Reds’ near Waegwan, 12
miles northwest of Taegue. They
were forced to withdraw, but a U.
S. spokesman said the attack would
be renewed and the hill would be
taken.
The Reds were taking bloody loss
es for just a few yards of territory
outside Pohang. They drove to the
gates of the city, before a small
scale American and South Korean
tank-infantry attack was thrown
against them, edging them back to
at least a mile north of the city.
The Communists threatened to
cut the Pohang-Taegue road, isolat
ing the South Korean forces now
north of Pohang.

W/io's Sadder?
}bu or Ufa?
You’re sad—because you’d like to have a nice new General
Electric Refrigerator right this very day, but you can’t get one!
We’re sad—because it’s our business to provide people with
General Electric Refrigerators, but we just don’t have enough
to go around.
And it’s nobody’s fault in particular. The General Electric
people have a refrigerator factory as big as all outdoors (or
nearly). It’s equipped with the last word in production ma
chinery. And it’s turning out refrigerators at an amazing rate.
But so many people want a G-E—and won’t take any othfr
make—that there are still more people waiting in line than' <
there are refrigerators coming off the line.
It’ll pay you, though, to wait for your General Electric. Re
member—a refrigerator is something you buy for the years,
ahead. And no refrigerator will serve you better through those
years than a famous, dependable General Electric.
