TROTTERS
PLAY HERE
8 TONIGHT
/ —
The Harlem Globetrotters will
play the Juneau All-Stars tonight
at 8 o’clock in the high school gym.
This is definite.
Here is the why—the Trotters
played in Anchorage last night and
boarded a plane for Cordova fcr
a game tonight. The weather was
too bad for a landing at Cordova
and the plane proceeded to Yakutat.
Weather conditions prevented a
flight to Cordova and the PNA
plane came to Juneau with the
Trotters aboard and they arrived
during this afternoon.
All reserved seat tickets have
been sold and approximately 400
standing room only tickets will be
sold at the door tonight.
The game here tonight cancels j
the scheduled Gastineau Channel
League game in Douglas.
Test Atomic
Weapons on
Nevada Range
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 — ,/Pl —
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced plans today to test
atomic weapons on a closely guarded
bombing range in Nevada.
The experiments will mark the
first nuclear explosions in the
United States since the first A-bomb
was tested in New Mexico in 1945.
The commission’s announcement
said President Truman has autho
rized it to use part of the 5,000
square mile bombing and gunnery
range reservation of the air force
near Las Vegas, Nev.
It added:
“The use of the Las Vegas bomb
ing and gunnery range will make
available to the Los Alamos (N.M.)
scientific laboratory a readily ac
cessible site for periodic test work
with a resultant speed-up in the
weapons development program
Test activities at the new site will
include experimental nuclear det
onation for the development oi
atomic bombs—so-called A-bombs
carried out under controlled condi
tions.
“Full security restrictions of the
Atomic Energy Act will apply to
the work at the new site and dur
ing test periods the AEC section of
the reservation w'ill be closed to all
persons except those directly con
nected with the experimental pro
grams."
The commission added that it:
will continue to use the Eniwetok
Proving Grounds in the Marshall
Islands of the Pacific Ocean.

The payment also indicated the
Russians may have given up their

Dock Workers
Of Coast to
Meet, Caucus
Delegates Close-Mouthed
-Bridges Expected to
Be at Gathering
LONGVIEW, Wash. Jan. 11— (/PI
—One hundred close-mouthed long
shoremen convened in this Col
umbia River port today in a poten
tially boisterous caucus of Pacific
Coast, Alaskan and Hawaiian dock
workers.
No one was talking much of
what would be accomplished by the
men who represent 15,000 members
of Harry Bridges’ International
Longshoremen's and Warehou.1i
men’s Union, independent since it
was kicked out of the CIO.
The delegates were expected to
approve the Coast Guard's secur
ity screening program, despite the
known opposition of Bridges. It is
likely, however, they will object
to a resolution to what they call
the ‘'imbalance'’ in the three-man
Appeals Board. The Coast Guard
has, in effect, final say on appeal;
by men who are screened out as
bad watertrent risks. The othei
two members represent labor anc.
management.
Newsmen will net be admittcc.
to the deliberations.
An unofficial poll last night in
dicated that the majority of the
delegates favored a policy of co
operation with the screening pro
gram. But anything could happen
-t a longshoremen’s meeting.
Bridges arrived at Portland late
last night and was expected here
.exore the caucus opening.
NEGOTIATIONS IN
PROGRESS, SHOP
OWNERS, PLUMBERS
Juneau residents requiring plumb
ing work done this week have been
running into troubles with mem
bers of the plumbers union on a
sort of “passive strike” and plumb
ing shop owners trying to person
ally care for emergency jobs while
negotiations are in progress.
It is reported that the curreni
l wage scale is $2.75 per hour and
that the union is asking for $3 per
hour. It is said that the union re
fused a compromise offer of $2.85
an hour but dropped the reques
for two weeks paid vacation.
Of the five firms affected, onl;
one has signed the union agreement,
that of the Urban Plumbing anc
Heating Co. of Tacoma, subcon
tractors on the Mendenhall Apart
ments here. However, it does no
affect the current contract but ap
plies to future work, after the pre
sent job is completed.
The union members met this af
ternoon in the AFL Hall to discus;
the situation but had no comments
to offer at presstime.

NEW MANPOWER
POLICY UPCOMING
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 — Ml —
Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg said today
President Truman plans to issue a
new "national manpower mobiliza
tion policy” within the next few’
days.
The woman Assistant Secretary of
Defense said the Presidential direc
tive would ask industry, agriculture,
military and civilian groups to con
serve available manpower.
Mrs. Rosenberg, w’ho was brought
to the Defense Department as a
manpower expert, mentioned the
prospective new' order at a Senate
hearing in response to a question
from Senator Stennis (D-Miss) as
to plans for draft deferrment of
young men engaged in farm work.
Stennis wanted to know whether
sufficient young farm workers.
would be deferred to produce the ]
increased food and farm crops that
will be needed for the expanding
mobilization program.
Mrs. Rosenberg did not elaborate
to the Senators on her statement
and would give no details to re
porters who questioned her later.
She did say that in general the
order will require that “we do our
job and do it right.”
