 ACTON ON UNIONS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-With the tide of industrial strife rising swiftly on every side. Congress has been asked to take action on drastic legislation to control labor unions.
 The Rules Committee of the low CT chamber has cleared for House action a bill that would penalize un- ions which violate anti-strike con- tracts. Such unions would be de- prived of collective bargaining rights for one year, and the employing firms would be relieved of all re- sponsibility to the unions.
 Furthermore, the unions would be made liable for civil damages. Nor is that all. Under the terms of the proposed legislation, labor unions would be made subject to the cor rupt practices act, which now ap- plies to corporations. Thus unions would be prohibited from assessing their members for political contri- buttons, and would not be allowed to make contributions for national primaries or elections. The pro- posed legislation would, at the same time, strike out the section of the Smith Connslly Labor Disputes Act which requires the government to conduct strike votes.

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES ARE THREAT
 T05.5. COMPANIES
Alaska Line Official Points Out How Rates
 Reflect

The damage to Alaska which could be caused by excessive freight and passenger steamship rates would be reflected in the con tinued prosperity of the steamship companies, L. w. Baker. Vice President and General Manager o1 the Alaska Steamship Company has informed Horace Adams, Ju- neau agent
 Said Baker: "The steamship com- panies know exces essively higf freight and passenger rates will be a serious blow to Alaska. There fore, as the future prosperity of the transportation companies serv- ing Alaska is entirely dependent upon Alaska itself being prosperous we will use our best efforts to helr the War Shipping Administration find solution that will be satis- factory to all concerned"
 Baker said the steamship com panies have been requested as gen. eral agents for the War Shipping Administration to participate in the hearing in order that the com panies may present figures which will indicate increases in operat- ing costs.
 "The steamship companies req lize," he said, the future pros- perity of Alaska is at stake anC that Alaska cannot continue tc prosper if freight and passenge, rates are increased to the extent mentioned in recent numerous newspaper articles.
 "On the other hand, the govern ment as owners and operators oi vessels is faced with very per picking problem in that it's costs of operating the vessels today greatly exceed it's revenue there from.
 Factors contributing to this con- dition in addition to the very sub- Stantlal basic wage increases are the. many changes in working rules which produce the tremendous payments of overtime compensation and appreciable increases in the number of days now required tc complete a round voyage. The operators are also faced with in- creased costs in food supplies, fuel oil, insurance and repairs. These factors make it impossible to con- tinue operating with the outgoing far in excess of the incoming reve- nueS.
 The primary purpose of the rate hearing is to find solution to the problem"

By DREW PEARSON


 WASHINGTON. Nov. 2l--Presi- dent Truman has announced the resignation of Gen. George c. Mar shall as Chief of Staff and the ap- pointment of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover to succeed him.
 Eisenhowers appointment is ef- fective immediately. His name has been sent to the Senate but he has begun to serve while awaiting the Senate's confirmation.
 Gen. Marshall, who is now past the retirement age will go to his home near Leesburg. Va, retiring from the Army altogether A gradu- ate of Virginia Military Institute, he is one of the few non-W West Pointers to serve as chief of staff.
 Successor To Eisenhower
 It. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, former Deputy Chief of Staff, suc- ceeds Eisenhower as Commander of the American Army in Germany. McNarney, native of Emporium, Pa, Marshall came from Union town, Pa), was graduated from West Point in the same 1915 class with Eisenhower, though he is three years younger The Texas born, Kansas-raised Eisenhower is 55.
 Gen. Lucius Clay will return to Germany to continue in charge of the Civil Administration of Ger many.
 Shake-up Seen
 Eisenhower is expected to in- stitute a considerable shake-up of the general staff in Washington. Most of the older men who sur rounded Gen. Marshall will be transferred or retired. and Eisen- hover will bring in some of the younger men who served with him in Europe.
 The shake-up probably means that the remnants of the MacAr- thur clique in the War Depart ment will exit Friends of Eisen- hover recall the day when he served under Macarthur in the Philippines and was fired They consider his return to the States the best break Eisenhower ever had While Eisenhower is not a man to bear grudges, Quentin Reynolds, Golfers war correspondent, tells us the story of playing gin rummy with Eisenhower and Gen.

TOWNSEND CLUB HAS BIG SESSION; MANY
 SPEAKERS PRESENT

The Juneau Townsend Club drew large attendance at it's weekly meeting last night in CIO Hall. G. E. Almquist. president, presided, and Mrs. L. R. Nunnamaker acted as secretary. The weekly Flash from National Headquarters was read, and the strategy being follow ed by the Washington legislative committee was explained. Chairman Robert Doughton, of the Ways and Means Committee. gave definite as- surance of a hearing on the Town send plan early in the new year.
 Speakers last night were former Attorney General Henry Roden, Senator Joe Green and Attorney James Joseph O'Leary. Sen. Green spoke on the unemployment problem with which the nation will soon be confronted as an inevitable con- ccmitant of the reconstruction period following each major war. and dwelt at some length On how Alaska will be affected because of seasonable employment and expense of travel ing from one population center to another or to the state where work may be obtainable.
 Senator Green lampooned the Alaska Development Board for send ing out what he claimed was false information. He questioned the ad- visibility of the Department of Ag- riculture created by the last Alaska legislature and expressed doubt as to the farming possibilities of the Territory. He concluded with a hearty endorsement of the Town send Plan, of which he has been an ardent advocate since it's inception.
 MT. Roden, while declaring whole hearted support of the movement for adequate pensions for elderly citizens was not confident that any one in the audience would see adop- tion of the Townsend Plan. Regard less of the outcome he invited every one present to move to Pelican City which he stated has a population of 300.
 Attorney OLeary, formerly ot Washington, D. C., and the past four years in San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico, the only state requiring that laws be printed in two languages English and Spanish, recent arri- val in Juneau, was more optimistic about the outlook for the Townsend Plan. He complimented the audience upon it's enthusiasm and efforts ane urged the members to continue theil good work.
