Truman And King May Discuss
 Alaska Highway

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-(P)- The Alaska Highway may be dis cussed by Canada's Premier King, during his visit next week, Sen ator Magnuson told reporter. He has an appointment with Presi- dent Truman next week to dis cuss the proposed inland route.
 Senator Magnuson proposed that the State Department and the Canadian Premier each name two representatives to discuss the pro- cedure leading to an agreement between the countries on the con- struction of the route, and to util- ize part of the Army's Alcan Highway. He said that Undersec- retary of State Acheson told him the State Department had re- quested the information on the route, which Magnuson recently suplied the President and indi- cated that the department was ready to take some action.

Officers Change Testimony About Pearl HarbOr

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-(P)- Senator Ferguson said he wants to know why some army officers reportedly changed their stories about the Pearl Harbor disaster. Ferguson told a reporter that he and Senator Brewster would ask the Senate and House investigat- ing committee to call before it some officers which Brewster con- tended "repudiated in substantial respects the testimony they gave before an Army inquiry board.
 We want to know how it is possible that their memory of events could be better three years after the attack than it was ear Her." Ferguson said. He added he was referring to changes in testi- mOny he said came about through the collection of affidavits by Major Henry Clausen, judge advo- cate of the Generals department.

HearingOn Freight Rates To Alaska To Be Held

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-(P)-, Government shipping experts fig ure Alaska shipping rates may be eighty to one hundred percent above prewar schedules, Delegate Bartlett said. The War Shipping Administration has ordered hear ings this month in Seattle on the entire Alaska water rate structure he announced.
 The Maritime commission will conduct the inquiry, which is necessary because VISA operation of Alaska carriers is expected to be withdrawn in a few months.
 He said if marine rates must be established at "fantastically high levels, we might as we'll forget talking about Alaska as a land of opportunity for the returning vet eran."

Lewis May Draft Wage Bargaining Policy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-(P)- John L. Lewis may try to draft a wage bargaining policy on which labor's divided forces might unite. At President Truman's la bor-management confe enc e Lewis last night denounced a res olution offered by CIO president Murray, declaring it would limit labor's wage gains to price ad- vances of "a bottle of milk or pair of shoes or a straw hat"
 With the support of AFL presi- dent Green, Lewis outlined to the conferences of the executive com mittee wage program to free labor so that they could seek whatever they could reasonably" get.
 Murray's resolution held the ex- ecutive committee since Monday would put the conference on rec ord as favoring a full and prompt collective bargaining under the wage policy broadcast last week by President Truman that wage raises were 'imeprative.

Frick's Chance
Takes Jump
BY LEO PETERSEN

NEW YORK, April 81. (UP)-The
field for the successor OF the late
KenesaW Moutain Lands as base
down to such an extent that it no
longer is a question of who the club
owners want but who they can get.
The TWO men who could have had
the job have turned it down. James
A. Farley eliminated himself in the
deliberations of the special four
man committee which the Major
Leagues set up to recommend Lam
dis successor. The money he is re-
ceiving as an executive with soft
drink manufacturing concern was
too much more than the $4,000 a
year the commissionership pays.
And Edward Grant Barrow decid-
ed against the job because of his
health and his advanced years. He
soon will be II.
So it looks like Ford Frick, presi-
dent of the National League, is 60
going TO get the job after all. He
has been the Gnly campaigner for
the post and he would have had the
job now had it not been for opposi-
ton within mis- own league.
The situation is such that there
seems to be doubt whether the
Major League Club owners will be
able to muster the majority of II
votes necessary to select Lands
successor when they get together in
Cleveland next Tuesday. The word
from the pipe line department now
is that the commission is going to
recommend two men, Frick and
Leslie J. O'Connor, who for years
served as Lands secretary.
A deadlock may develop since
O'Connor is strong in the west, but
has no support in the east IF
Frick cannot be named as a COM
promise candidate, the Majors may
have to go through their fourth
wartime season without a commits
sioner.
That the Major League executives,
business men who have
made a million dollar industry out
of baseball, would let anything stand
in the way of replacing the COM
missioner is inconceivable even
though it could happen.
Baseball never needed a commits
sioner more. Within the next year
dozens of service men are likely
TO return to their clubs after mill
tary leaves and the resulting con-
fusion may produce many disputes
which only a commissioner could
settle.
In addition, the constantly in
creasing volume of gambling on
baseball games, poses another prob
lem.

Ernie Pyle Lies
In Grave With
Fallen Soldiers
BY MAC X. JOHNSON

Aboard Adm. turner's tlagSIlp,
OKINAWA, April 81. (UP)-A white
cross today marked the grave OF
Ernie Pyle in small cemetery 600
yards inland from Red Beach on
embattled Ie Shima.
The white-haired little man who
rose from obscurity to become the
greatest champion of obscure but
important GI's was buried yester-
day with five enlisted men who died
in action as he did.
Enlisted men of the Army's 7th
Division built crude wooden coffin
of boards ripped from K-ration
boxes and on it they placed wreath
woven of Japanese evergreen and a
sheaf of ripe golden wheat.
The funeral party was led by
Maj. Gen. Andrew D. Bruce, COM
manding general of the 77th Divis-
ion. 1t was halted at the beach
when the enemy dropped 100 rounds
of mortar fire in the area.
There were no salutes. Taps was
not blown. This was cemetery for
combat men ina combat zone and
the ceremony was simple. 1t lasted
35 minutes.
A trench had been bulldozed in
the brown soil of an open field. In
dividual graves had been dug in the
bottom of the trench. The bodies
of the five enlisted men and Pyle
were placed in the common grave
and Capt. Nathaniel B. Saucier,
Coffeyville, Mississippi, a regimental
chaplain, began the burial rites
for all six.
About 60 officers and men were
present. Only two war correspon-
dents out of the 60 in this area were
able to attend, due to a failure in
distributing information about the
burial.
First It.. Charles E. Kane, New
York, formerly Of the Chicago Sun,
who related the details of the fun
eral, said Pyle's body had been
wrapped in a blanket like any Of
ficer or Gil and dog tag wired
around his body.
Five hundred yards away, at the
spot where Ernie was killed by Jap
anese machinegun bullets, soldiers
already have erected a temporary
sign which reads:
"At this spot, the 77th Infantry
Division lost buddy.
"Ern.e Pyle.

MAJOR HOOPLE
BY WALTER BYERS

CHICAGO, April 81. (UP)-The
stage was set Saturday for free
for-all fight between the young but
wealthy All-America football con-
ference and the long, established
National Football League.
AS the storm signals were hoist
ed, the directors of the All-America
wound up their two-day charter
meeting. by finishing work on their
constitution and bylaws in prep
araticn for postwar operation.
The trouble developed late Friday
when the XII, professional foot
balls only major league, curtly re-
pulsed the All-America when it
asked for an "olive branch" con-
ference.
The A-A, through it's acting chair
man, vice president Christy Walsh
of Los Angeles, announced that it
had appointed two-man committee
to "call on Commissioner Elmer
Layden of the National Football
League in a spirit of cooperation
and friendliness."
I'VE want to tell Mr.. Layden,"
Walsh said, that we believe that
two major leagues should be formed,
such as in baseball, and in that
way we want to make arrangements
not to tamper with each others
players or territorial rightS-to be
friends"
Layden, in answering for his
league, said in effect that the A-A
directors were putting the cart be-
fore the horse.
"All know of new leagues" Lay
den said, "is what I read in the
newspapers. There is nothing for
the national league to talk about as
far as new leagues are concerned
until someone gets football and
plays a game"
