CANADA VESSELS
 TO TAKE FREIGHT
 FOR 50 DAYS YET

Further waiver of Jones Act pro- visions as they apply to Alaska ship ping was revealed here today by Col lector of Customs James J. Connors extending, as is, wartime emer- gency conditions in effect prior to the order which was to have restored the ban on use of Canadian vessels at midnight today.
 Previously, limitations regarding passengers and freight to Skagway had been granted waiver extension of 60 days to July 3l. By the more recent order of the Acting Secretary of the Treasury, Canadian vessels may also continue to carry inter- port freight for the same period. The wire received here from the Gus toms Bureau headquarters in Wash ington, D. C., states:
 Acting Secretary of the Treasury has waived compliance with Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act Cthe Jones Act) to extent necessary to permit transportation of merchan- disc on Canadian vessels between ports in Southeastern Alaska south of Yakutat and ports in British Columbia, as portion of transporta- tion of merchandise between Alaska and Continental United States, dur ing period June 1 and July 3l, l945, inclusive"
 Secretary of Alaska Lew M. Will Hams revealed also that the Depart ment of the Interior has advised that the extended waiver applies also to shipments on Canadian tenders which have been relieving acute shipping bottlenecks at smaller Southeast Alaska fishing ports where fish storage facilities are inade- quate to permit long carry overs.

KAI-5HEk RESIGNS
 ASCHINA PREMIER:
 500NG SUCCESSOR

CUNKGKING, May 2l.-Chiang Kai-shek resigned today as Premier and turned the post over to acting Premier T. V. Soong in move view ed as a step toward solidifying China at a time when the Allied Nations are applying tremendous pressure on Japan from all quarters.
 Chiang retained his post as Pres ident of China and head of the State. He also remains China's Generalissimo, and now will be able to concentrate fully on military tasks in this critical period of the war on the continent of Asia.
 When Soong. Chiang's brother-in- law, became Acting Premier last December, the shift was regarded as a popular one, possibly paving the way for a working agreement be- tween the Central Government and the Communists of North China. Soong's attitude toward the Com munists is known to be moderate.
 Soong's elevation to thel full Pre- miership, or President of the Execu- tive Yuan, as the post is designated in China, raised the possibility that he would attend any forthcoming meeting of the Big Five leaders of the United Nations.
 Moreover, Soong will be in a better position to talk to Premier Stalin on the matter of improving relations between China and Russia should he visit Moscow on his way back to China from the San Francisco World Security conference. He also will be better able to engage in discussions with other international leaders.
 Chiang announced his resignation from the Premiership at meeting of the newly elected Central Execu- tive Committee of the Kuomintang, or Government Party It was pre- sumed that Chiang intended, in view of the accelerated tempo of the war in the Far East, to devote himself primarily to the job of Su- preme Commander in the China Theatre.
 Soongs popularity throughout the country is expected to strengthen the Central Governments hand in the military situation.

LIU(H0W I5
 SET ABLAzE
 BY NIpp0N5

RUNNING, China, May 31 --Liu- chow, main Japanese road and rail hub in southern China, was re- ported swept by fires set by it's defenders today as Chinese troops closed in on the city along 50- mile front.
 Signs that the Japanese were preparing to abandon the former American air base site, coming after their loss Sunday of Yung- ming (Nanning), l20 miles to the southwest, reinforced growing be- lief here that Japan is about to surrender the main military fruits of her swift conquest of Indo- China. Thailand, Malaga and The Netherlands Indies.
 Such move would mean that Imperial Headquarters at Tokyo has decided to write off it's invest ment in men and material as a non paying proposition, and to leave it's forces south of China to shift for themselves. The land cor ridor serving those forces already has been almost severed by the Chinese. while American planes and submarines have made the sea lanes more of a hazard than a link.
 The. situation at Liuchow also suggested the possibility that Japan even planned to quit southeast China. leaving only small holdout pockets while concentrating her strength between the Yangtze and Amur Rivers for a last-ditch de- fense of her continental possessions.
 The possibility first was sug- gested by the Japanese retreat from Yungring and south coast areas such as Wenchow, Swatow and Foochow. There were signs of Japanese movements northward in the land corridor above Yungning
 One of the reasons for such a concentration in the north may be Japanese fear of Russian interven- tion along the Amur River.

Bloody Fighting in Syria Causes Split on Good
 Neighbor Policy
By John M. Hightower

Assoeiated Press Diplomatic News Editor) SAN FRANCISCO, May 3l-The bloody fighting in Syria put to it's severest test today the Good Neigh Dor policy on which the United Nations are seeking to erect new world league to keep peace.
 Topping off Trans demand for withdrawal of Allied troops and the prolonged Big Three dispute over Poland, the outbreak in the Levant aroused new apprehensions of many delegations here over the ability of the big powers to work out their world interests in a friendly and unselfish manner.
 American officials, however, are telling these small nation represen- tatives that had the projected world organization already been in existence problems such as the Levant crisis, especially, probably would have been more easily and speedily solved
 Stettinius Active
 Secretary of State Stettinius threw his influence against letting any current issues interfere with the work of the conference. Off cials appeared confident that he would succeed and the league char ter would be produced early in June.
 Stettinius was drawn directly into the Lersnt situation when a group of Arab delegates protested to him against French policy in Syria and Lebanon. The shooting started after Senegalese reinforce ments arrived in the former French mandates and the two countries claimed a threat to their recently won independence
 Independence Policy
 The United States, StettiniuS. told the group, stands firmly by it's sup port of their independence, but the

FIGHTING I5
 NOW RAGING

tBy The .>-sociated Press)

LONDON, May 3l.-Heavy fight ing ragged in Damascus today, widen ing the Syrian crisis to threaten re- lations between France and Britain.
 A responsible French spokesman declared in Paris that direct col lision between Britain and France was possible as result of the fight ing between Syrians and French which already has cost 300 or more lives
 The French, insisting that the trouble was mainly caused by outside interference, claimed documentary evidence to back their stand.
 The Syrian Minister to France, Adnan Bey Atassi, declared that foreign intervention alone could now solve the problem. The only solu- tion, he asserted was for the French to clear out of Syria entirely
 His statement, issued just after a conference with U. s. Ambassador Jefferson Caffery in Paris, said ori- ginally Syria demanded only that the French troops be removed from the cities of the country.
 Both the French and British cab- inets held emergency sessions.
 Damascus dispatches written yes- terday and received today said chaos prevailed in the Syrian capital. after lan all-night French bombardment of the city Tuesday night, and Cairo dispatches said heavy fighting con tinues today.
 Clashes occurred all over the coun- try and rebellion of the fierce Drug tribesmen in the southern part of Syria apparently was threatened.
 Quiet prevailed in the neighboring Leyant State of Lebanon.
 The trouble f1ared ~"up~ Tuesday night, Damascus dispatches said, when Syrian conscriptS bolted from the French forces and the French fired into the crowd which welcomed the fugitives
 Each side accused the other of starting the shooting.

SUICIDE SQUADS ATTACK PACIFIC FLEET
kar|uk Fishing Righis !. Al Issue; Arnold F|ays
 "poIiiits" Stand of AFl

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. May 3l.-- Bitter controversy over claims of Alaskan Indians. to huge land and water reservations and exclusive fishing rights, flared anew with the opening of the l945 fishing season at Kodiak Island.
 After announcement by the Alaska Native Service that 1t would enforce exclusive fishing fights at the Kar- lux Reservation on Kodiak Island the Karluk Town Council. of Natives agreed to issue fishing permits te white residents of Alaska only.
 Frank Marshall, Alaska leader oi the American Federation of Labor announced that the controversy is over, as far as his union is concern ed: but, Canned Salmon Industry representative w. c. Arnold issued the following statement:
 Union leaders are playing poli- tics with the birthright of American citizens. This is the only possible construction can place on the an- nouncement by Frank Marshall of the AFL to the effect that he has agreed his members will fish in the Kariuk Indian Reservation under permits from the village of Karluk
 T know there is jurisdictional dispute between the AFL and the CIO, but didn't know until now that the AFL was SO anxious to pre- vail it would voluntarily sacrifice the interests of their membership and waive rights which American citizens have enjoyed since time immemorial--the right to fish in waters below mean high tide lines.
 "The Canned Salmon Industry acting for itself and for fishermen, using company gear. will make nc such concession---eitiaer to serve ends 'of political expediency or any other purpose We will insist on our rights and the rights of our fishermen. We do not recognize the right of the Secretary of the Interior, or anyone else, to set aside fishing areas in Alaska for the special benefit of any one group of citizens. and to the ex- clusion of other citizens"
 The matter will be brought to a head, it is declared, if nonresident fishermen should defy the Indian Office and one of them is arrested.
