CIO NOT RED DIES REPORTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 - The Dies Committee on un-American activities estimated not more than 100000 Americans are ser iously affected by subversive act ivities which, it was said, are de- clining rapidly because of the international situation.
 In reporting to the House on it's two years investigation of un- American activities the commit tee said:
 The time may come when they will cease to be seriously re garded by anyone in the United States" In a l5,000 word sum mary of it's hearings signed by all seven members, after a stormy meeting, the committee drew these major conclusions: l. An overwhelming majority of CIO members including Presi dent Lewis are not communists or communist sympathizers, but leadership in one-quarter of CIO unions is more than tinged with communism"
 2. It has omitted from the list of communist front" organiza- tions the American Youth Con gress which Mrs. F D Roosevelt had upheld, as a witness before the committee which had decrib ed the organization as front group.
 3. The Soviet-Nazi pact help ed to protect constitutional dem ocracy by making more clear the real nature of all dictator ships by revealing the similarity between Hitler's nazism and com munism.
 Bund and Communist parties in Bund and Communist parties in the United States, agents for for eign powers, should be control led.

Gov. Cruening Going East
 This Month To Protest
 Employment Non-AIaskans

is further emphasized by the fact that the contract provides that all Workmen from Seattle get transportation paid up and back. Men hired in Alaska have to pay their own way to either Sitka or Kodiak, although the cost of this transportation from the nearest Alaska city to the project is in- evitably less than the fare from Seattle.
 "The third discrimination evil dent to me is the contract pro vision that if one of those hired in Seattle and brought up is talk en sick while on the job he is en titled to transportation back. AL askans enjoy no such privilege
 Thus it works out in effect & practice though I was unable to get the facts I desired despite repeated requests at Sitka-that the policy with which the Navy Department declared itself sym pathetic, allegedly the policy un- der which the work is being con ducted, and allegedly the policy referred to in the labor contract where find the words 'provid- ed that bonafide residents of Al aska, who are qualified for the work, will be given preference of employment is being completely disregarded.
 "The assumption underlying this violation of the declared pol icy of the Navy Department seems to be that qualified Alas kan labor is not available. This is unqaulifiedly false but no eff fort has been made by the con- tractors to ascertain it's truth or falsity.
 Il intend to make a vigorous continued protest and agitation against this discrimination and intend to communicate what have learned to the Acting Sec retary of the Navy in person when I return to Washington the latter part of January.
 q consider this problem sec ond to none in Alaska. It is not news that there has been for many years discrimination of this sort in the Territory. But when it takes place on a government contract I can see no excuse for it whatever.
 Tn this rgeard I make no crit icism of the Navy Department. It has stated it's position. But am very critical of the conract- ors and place the blame directly on their shoulders"
 The Governor added that while in Sitka he visited the Pio- neer's Home and was happy to see that Superintendent Eiler Hansen was up and about again following a recent illness.
 Gov. Gruening discussed with the Mayor and Sitka Council a number of problems which have resulted from the current boom due to the Navy construction work.
 The Governor was accompan- jed on his trip by Director Joseph T. Flakne of the Alaska Territorial Employment Service and Director Walter P. Sharpe of the Unemployment Compensa ton Commission.

to Washington to protest agalnst the employment of non-Alaskans on naval projects in the Territory say that he plans to make the trip during January.
 The Governor said he would make vigorous and continued protest to the Navy Department against the contractors attitude. He disclosed he is planning trip to Washington this month and said he would take the mat ter up personally there with the new Secretary of the Navy.
 Contractors on the Sitka and Kodiak project are the Seims- Spokane Company, Johnson, Drake and Piper, Inc, and the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredg- ing Company.
 The Governors statement was as follows:
 Ever since complaints from the Territory concerning discrim ination against Alaskans on the new projects at Sitka and Kodiak sponsored by the Navy Depart ment began 10 reach me-and they began in Washington this fall while I was Director of the Division of Territories and Is- land Possessions-I have been en deavoring to ascertain the facts on the basis of which 1 could more effectively bring the mat ter to the attention of the proper authorities.
 Delegate Dimond and called on the Acting Secretary of the Navy and found him most ap- preciative of our position. The Acting Secretary was unaware that any discrimination had talk en place or was intended, and eager to see there should be none.
 Since coming to the Territory have made repeated efforts to get the facts. These efforts were answered only by generalities and elusive statement of good in tentions not 10 discriminate against Alaskan workers, state ments directly contradicted by such facts as came to me from other sources. l decided to go to Sitka and see for myself.
 II found, despite the state ments of good intention. the gros sest kind of discrimination against Alaskan has been and is being practiced on the project
 T consider this an outrage. I consider it a notification of the Administrations purpose to in- crease the population of Alaska by making it possible for those who have settled here to have the opportunity for making liv Iihood to which they are justly entitled.
 'I found that the contract sign ed between the labor unions and contractors and approved by the Navy Department (which today has the right to cancel or alter as much of the contract as it sees fit), to contain the following discriminations:
 First, in addition to the fore men and supervisors who are brought up from the States, the first man in every craft is specif ically to be hired from the Unit ed States. There is no reason whatever for such discrimina- tions. In fact, if there is to be discrimination, it would be log dcal the contract would provide that the first man in every craft should come from Alaska.
 "The implications of this dis criminatfon go beyond the hir- ing of the single individual. The fact that 'the first man in effect comes from the Seattle and that he is presumably an active union leader, means inevitably that he will induce his friends and those he knows in the union to come up after him for other jobs as they become available. The im- plications are, therefore, that not just the first man in each craft will come from the States but
