NO BREAK IS SEEN, GREAT LAKES TIEUp
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The CIO National Maritime un- ions strike against Great Lakes shipping went into its third day today with union leaders seeking to expand the walkout and with no sign of an early break in sight.
 Union headquarters in Detroit said somewhere around 100" of the 400 American-flag cargo ships on the five lakes were tied up. Ship ping companies placed the number of idle ships at a lower figure. but their estimate did not include tankers.
 The union strategy is aimed at tying up all ships whose crews are NMU members; crippling the vessels where the NMU has some members but not a majority, and seeking the cooperation of workers on ships whose crews are unorganiZed or represented by the AFL.
 Union officials said new wage hour proposals had teen received from two strike bound companies Standard Oil of Indiana and the Bethlehem Transportation Com pany, but NMU Presiednt Joseph Curran was quoted by another un- ion official as saying the offers were unacceptable.
 The union is demanding the work week be cut from 56 to 40 hours and hourly pay boosts ranging from 10 to 18 cents.
 In Detroit, busses were back in normal schedules after 1900 CIO maintenance workers returned to their jobs following one day work stcppage. The union said the com panS had agreed to rehire dis charged workman, an issue which led to the walkout.
 In Hollywood, the AFL screen set designers, who have threatened to strike, decided to reduce their de- mand for wage boosts. They had demanded an increase from $236 to $5 an hour and 40 hour work week guarantee. A new wage scale will be submitted to the produc- CTS Monday.

RAIN FLOODS HIT MIDWEST,
 4 LIVES LOST
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Heavy rains flooded numerous Illinois communities yesterday, cost ing four persons their lives, inflict- ing heavy property damage and leaving more than 1,200 persons homeless.
 The Illinois lowlands across the Mississippi River from St. Louis suffered most. Property damage ran into millions of dollars when nine to 12 inches of rain fell in 48 hours ended yesterday.
 A flood weakened levee burst about 75 miles northwest of St. Louis, sending thousands of tons of sand and water into the little town of Pearl, H. No lives were lost among the 600 residents, but 250 were made homeless.
 T don't see how they all got out alive" Pike County Sheriff Steve Hoover said.
 More than 25 homes were demol- ished and another 25 damaged Hoover said.
 Across from St. Louis. more than 1000 persons were left homeless, mostly in East St. Louis and Bele- vile, III. Coast Guard and private boats rescued 400 persons maroon ed in the Washington Park District of East St. Louis.
 Downtown St. Louis escaped flooding but. some west residential streets were under water, and two youths apparently drowned when they were swept into a storm sewer by surging waters. A 13-year- -old negro girl drowned in her flooded home at Elsberry, Mo. Another death attributed to the storm was as Centralia, H., where a man was electrocuted by a live wire.
 The weather bureau said no more rain was in sight for the flooded areas.
 High winds accompanied storms which hit Omaha, Des Moines, La Crosse, Wis, and Rochester, Minn. Des Moines streets were flooded and wind velocity reached 58 miles an hour.
 While Kansas continued to swelt- CT under temperatures of 105 at Phillipsburg, residents of the Can adian Province of Alberta discarded summer clother for warmer appar- el. Half an inch of snow fell in Calgary, where the mercury drop ped to 33. Frost was feared in the Edmonton area where Jumper crops are ripening.

MULLEN SURVEY FINDS ALASKAN
 PULP PRACTICAL

Ben Mullen Will be Southbound passenger by PAA Sunday enroute to New York after spending the past six weeks in Juneau and vii cinity checking data relative to timber areas and possible sites for a pulp mill. The technical work of MT Mullen's investigations was done by MT. James Ivers of Salt Lake City, prominent engineer of that city who came north with MT. Mullen for that purpose.
 T have been unable to find any technical difficulties to the estab- lishment of this industry in South east Alaska" MT. Mullen stated "and economically, l believe the times are favorable to pushing it to successful conclusion. Capital is somewhat hesitant about entering the Alaskan field inasmuch as the ultimate title to raw materials and power sits is retained by the gov ernment and their use merely par celled out on a lease basis; but l do not consider these objections in- surmountable. The U. s. Forest Service has shown it's willingness time and again to make workable leases and undoubtedly satisfactory working arrangements between the department and the new industry can be worked out
 -'''I am deeply grateful to MT. B Frank Heintzleman and his staff in the Forestr Service for the cooper asion and the assistance they have given me in the investigations just concluded; also to the many local citizens who have supplied me with valuable information and shown great interest in my efforts to bring this industry to our district"
 MT. Mullen said his present plans called for his return from New York to Juneau about the first of the year

 The hearing, conducted here under limited conditions because health restrictions have curtailed public gatherings gave Krug the oppor- tunity to interview representatives of labor. the Alaska Railroad, fish ermen, veterans and the Chamber of Commerce.
 He told them that i've will do everything in our power to help solve your problems but you will have to help yourself at the same time"
 T don't know of any other part of the country" he said, where man has better chance than here. I look forward to period of growth, development, and prosperity in AL aska that will be unequalled in development in any other part of our country"
 Krug planned to tour Matanuska Valley points today, followed by trip to the Mount Mckinley Ma tional Park and an inspection of installations there. Sunday he will board his plane at Summit for Ju- neau and Southeast points.

The W ashingt ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Genial Judge Joseph c. Hutcheson of Texas is famous for his keen sense of hu- nor and for having kidded his colleagues that their judicial opin- ions were prompted by lunches" ," However, when he discussed Brit ish partitioning of Palestine in a secret session at the State De- partment last week, Judge Hutche- son was dead serious. Also, he was vehement against the British.
 Hutcheson and the Anglo-Ameri- can Palestine Commission which he headed, had recommended that Palestine be placed under the Unit ed Nations and that 100000 Jew ish refugees be admitted from Ger many immediately.
 On the other hand, ex-ASsistant Secretary of State Henry Grady of San Francisco, President Tru- mans special representative on Palestine, sided with the British plan to split the Holy Land into Arab-Jewish zones. In Paris Grady was sold the British idea that war with Russia was imminent, that Palestine must be a British base.
 So sparks flew last week when both sides were called together in the office of red-mustachioed Act ing Secretary of State Dean Ach- eSOn.

CITY BUDGET
 ATTAINS NEW
 RECORD HIGH
Tax Rate Is Lowered by Single Mill at Council
 Meet Last Niqht

A new record budget for the City of Juneau-S358, ,859.6l-was passed by the City Council at it's meeting last night; but Mayor Waino Hend- rickson picked out brighter tones in the picture than were at first ap- parent.
 This years budget, he indicated, is designed to be scaled down, not overreached.
 But, though the budget be big, the tax rate set is less than last years by one mill. That 19-mill rate is expected to bring in more than two hundred thousand dollars; due to a half-million dollar increase in val uation of properties in Juneau. The remaining large chunk of the budget is. to be met from fines, rentals, back taxes, school and liquor re- funds and other miscellaneous sources of municipal revenue. In addition, $50,000 set up in the budget allows for bank loans already se- cured to tide the town over till the new taxes roll in; it's already re- ceived and spent along with about S30.000 more that the present ad- ministration already has received from various sources including tardy taxes from last year.
 S140,000 Written Off
 The total adjusted assessment of all property that came out of the Board of Equalization sessions is $l0,777, ,81661. The equalizers wrote off just under $140,000 from the re- port turned in by Assessor Felix Toner.
 Although details of the City's financing had already been pretty well threshed over behind closed doors, Councilman James Larsen s move to set the tax rate at 19 mills ran into opposition from holdover Councilman Stan Grummett, who begged to retain the rate at the 20- mill maximum on the ground that it would be good policy to end the year with bit of surplus that would help to cut down on bank loans and their interest charges-needed to tide over the next Council.
 Although sympathetic to Grum- imett's aim, the Mayor held that it's too much to expect to accomplish everything in one year. This ad- ministration, he said, has inherited a lot of extra expense and if they can be caught up that should be enough.
 Lots of Leeway
 The budget submitted, he con- tinued, contains lots of leeway and if it's seen that the treasury is not going to break even, much can be trimmed from it in the way of things that are needed, but not inn mediately. He cited that allotments
