IDLE SHIPS Use
URGED BY MAS
Group Asks Government
To Utilize Huge Fleet
In Domestic Field

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS -W.D-
The National Federation of Amer
lean Shipping urged the govern
ment Thursday to use the nations
huge fleet of idle ships to relieve
a domestic transportation shortage
instead of building so, 900 freight
cars at a cost of 5000, 900, 900.
Compensatory Rate
MAS President Almon E. Roth
said in a letter to Reconversion
Director John R. Stee1man that
the government should establish
Compensatory freight rates for
domestic shipping so that hun
dreds" of merchant vessels could
be utilized.
Construction of the so, 900 freight
cars is being urged by the Office
of Defense Transportation on
grounds that domestic transpor-
tation facilities are inadequate for
the reconversion program and the
expected autumn peak loads. Roth
said.
Domestic Shipping Off
He said ships are being laid up
daily they now number 1900 -
for lack of cargoes. Where $50
ships were engaged in domestic
trades before the war, only rs are
now operated.

PARRISH OPPOSES
POLICEMEN UNION
Sergeant Relates He Was
Approached By AFL
Organizer Hero

The reports that an American
Federation of Labor organizer was
enroute to Wilmington to organize
the local police force provoked a
statement from Police Sergt. Phil
]. Parrish to the effect that he
would oppose any movement to
unionize the policemen.
Contacted By ALL
Sergt. Parrish reported that seve-
raj weeks ago a representative
of the AFL approached him and
asked me to ascertain the attitude
of the police personnel, but in view
of the way l felt and feel about
this matter, I did not contact the
members of this department on
the matter" he said.
Sergeant's Views
The sergeant explained:
II do not think that a policeman
could conscientiously police a
strike bound plant, or furnish the
police protection he is sworn to
give to the public, without showing
some sort of favoritism, if he be-
longed to this or that labor group.
Il want it distinctly understood
that I am not against labor or
CARNATIONS but I do want it known
that 1 am opposed to unionizing
the Wilmington police department."

sentative and two Labor M. P.'s.
The mission returned with a recon-
mendation that Iran be pactitioned
between Russians and British while
there was yet time to save south
ern I~an from the Soviets. Instead
Ernest Bevin instructed the Anglo
lranian company to grant generous
wage raises in order to consolidate
the British position. This was de-
layed, SO that when the strike
broke out Bevin almost tore the
head of the company to pieces on
the floor of the Foreign Office.
But while the company was taught
its lesson, the Cabinet had no in
tention of letting the Soviets abb
serb southern Iran into thei-
spheres. Thus it was decided to use
force if necessary and even to e
sort to partition if necessary. The
strike was settled because the
Iranian government was informed
of these decisions; the Soviets
were not prepared to carry their
maneuver to it's logical conclusion,
and Premier Qavam therefore
suppressed the strike movement.
While willing, under pressure, to
adopt such drastic emergency
measure, the British had still not
abandoned their ~long-cange objec-
tive. In preparation for the time
when they can finance great pro-
jects of economic betterment on
the T. V. A. pattern, they are
constantly pressing on the Iraq gov
eminent and on King Farouk in
Egypt with the urgent need to
undertake the most f~ar-reaching
reforms. They are both warning
of disaster if the reforms are not
launched and promise the imme-
diate technical assistance and
large scale financing later on.
Appealing to the better nature of
the pashas does not promise much,
but is all the British can do.
Against this background, events in
Palestine become more compre-
hensible if no more admirable.
But that does not answer the ques-
ton of who is to control the
Middle East.

the Navy and Coast Guard together
