Senate Group Quizzes
Bidd|e and Hoover on
Alaska Censorship
Heads Of Military and
Naval Intelligence
Called TO Testify
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Judiciary COMMITTEES
called Attorney General Biddle and
other officials before 1t today for an
investigation of the censoring OF
communications between the United
States and Alaska. .
Besides Mr.. Biddle, the committee
asked j. Edgar Hoover, head Of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation, and
the chiefs of the military and naval
intelligence units to testify as to
the need Of censoring mail and
other communications between the
continent and American possessions
and Territories.
The authority for some operations
being carried on by the ONCE of
Censorship, headed by Byron Price,
has been challenged by Chairman
Van Mugs, who told reporters after
hearing last week that he thought
the interception of mail to and
from Alaska is wholly Illegal"
Mr.. Price commended, on the other
hand, that President Roosevelt was
granted authority in the Second
War Powers Act and can invoke
his power as commander in chief to
order censorship of any communi-
cations going outside the country
where the national security is in
volved.
Senator Van Mugs said Mr.. Biddle
was being asked to clear up the legal
aspects, inasmuch as the committee
has pending before it a measure
previously approved by both houses,
but recalled, which would authorize
censorship of communications with
Territories and possessions.

Walkout Of Transit
Workers in Baltimore
Delays Thousands
Operations Cut Is Pct.;
Slight Interference
With War Work Reported
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Dec. IA par
tial strike of Baltimore Transit
Co. workers, hitting hardest the
main trolley and bus lines lead
ing to booming war industries at
Curtis Bay and Sparrows Point,
delayed thousands of workers to-
day and reduced streetcar and
bus operations by an estimated
Is per cent.
A company spokesman said the
walkout had affected approximately
260 men who were affiliated with the
AFL's Amalgamated Association Of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America. The
company employs more than 5000
persons.
Organizer Accuses Company.
A union organizer at the AFL
locals headquarters, mentioning that
the War Labor Board had ordered
recognition of his union for discus
sion of grievances only, commented:
THE transit company says only
260 of our men are on strike
take look around the union hall;
you'll see more than 26O here"
The official, who asked that his
name not be used, added that I'VE
want to comply with any Govern
ment order, especially in times like
these :. Our failure to do so was
because the company wouldn't
discuss grievances for which the
original complaint was filed with the
WLB. The transit company has
continuously goaded our men into
striking in addition, the com
pany has Disseminated against oul
members"
| A second transit company repre-.
sentative said, however, that "or
Friday we sent a letter to William
B. Combs, president of the Amalga
mated, telling him that we woulc
obey the WLB order and that We
were ready to sit down with him
and representatives Of his unior
to discuss their grievances. -
Many Workers Late.
Mr.. Combs did not reply to oul
offer to confer. Instead, we were
faced with the strike today"
Offlcials of various large wa,
plants reported that although q
number of workers were late, the
strike did not interfere seriously
with production.
The company spokesman, estimat-
ing operations generally at rs per
cent of normal, said service on the
Curtis Bay and Sparrows Point lines
had been cut by approximately SO
per cent. Three downtown bus
lines, crosstown and two Charles
street routes were heavily handi-
capped he added.
Hundreds of persons stood on
street corners and cars and buses
which were operating were jammed
to capacity. Taxicabs did a thriv-
ing business.
The strike apparently represented
a final effort by the AFL union
to overthrow the independent
Union OF Transit Employees of Bal
timore, with which the company
