SURPLUS VESSELS

Twenty-seven surplus Coast Guard vessels at Ketchikan, first scheduled to be transferred from Alaska waters for sale elsewhere, will be entertained in the Territory for disposal upon the request of Delegate Bartlett acting upon in- formation received from the Ketch- ikan Chamber of Commerce.
 The United States Coass Gua- : has issued temporary instructions to their field force to discontinue transfer of these boats to be fol icweo, undoubtedly, by a formal order. The Department of the h. terior has been designated as the disposal agency handling small boats in Alaska, and the Maritime Commission, War Shipping Admin istration, War Department and Navy Department are declaring surplus craft to the department through it's agency, the Surplus Property Office.
 Arrangements for sale of the sur plus vessels at Ketchikan will be made by the Surplus Property Of flee as soon as the office receives from the Coast Guard declarations and necessary title papers cover- ing these boats.

Construction on twelve rivers and harbors projects in Alaska author ized by Congress in 1945 is not contemplated for the fiscal year 1947 following drastic cuts made by the Bureau of the Budget and the House Committee on Appro- priations on sums requested by the Chief of Engineers
 The Chief of Engineers, in draw ing up requests for funds for all projects throughout the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, authorized by Congress in l945, submitted a program calling for an appropriation of s1l7,ooo,O00 which the Budget reduced to S28,000,000. This program included funds in the amount of s1,Ooo,o00 for the Wran- gell Narrows project out of the twelve territorial projects aUthoriz- ed, but this sum was eliminated when the program was finally sub mitted to Congress.
 In view of this action and be- cause of the existence of an econ- cmy bloc in Congress, it is impos- sible to predict when funds will finally be appropriated so that all twelve Alaska rivers and harbors projects will be constructed The Chief of Engineers had submitted an advance six-year program on maintenance and improvement of rivers and harbors works which now will undoubtedly have to be revised because of action of the Budget and Congress.
 The twelve Alaska projects auth orized in 1945 are: Metlakatla liar bor, Craig Harbor. Meyers Chuck Harbor, Wrangell Harbor, Wrangell Narrows, Petersburg Harbor, Port Alexander. Sitka Harbor, Gastineau Channel, Skagway Harbor. Elfin Cove and Seldoyia Harbor.
 The Chief of Engineers included in his budget total estimation of s67, ,87l 800 for maintenance and inn provement Of existing projects and other continuing and routine oper- ations. Passed by the House, S90, 1000 has been made available for the Stikine River project and s55,0ot i for Nome Harb0r

British Industry
Smoothly Reconverts

LONDON.-Labor-m or-management con-
f1ict-actual or potential-is the least of
Britain's worries in its struggle toward
postwar recovery.
In sharp contrast to widespread in
dustrial strife in the United States in
the first full year of peace, Britain has
enjoyed relative tranquility. Recover
sion to peacetime economy is proceed
ing slowly without critical or Gripping
disputes between workers and employers
Strikes in Britain have involved rela-
lively small numbers of workers and
have been settled quickly.
One reason why the nation has had no
major industrial warfare is psychological
the labor leaders loyalty to his gov
ernment. Not wishing to embarrass mis-
colleagues in the Labor party, he dis
courages strike agitation among the rank
and file.
Labor leaders say that another basic
factor-and one with much deeper
roots-is the well-established British
system of collective bargaining, negotia-
ton and conciliation. which the gov
ernment has recognized for more than
10 years.
Thus, it might be said, the United
States is in some ways two generations
behind Britain in labor relations ex-
perience. The British trade union act of
1871 established the common law rights
of British unions. 1t was not until the
early 1930s that collective bargaining was
legalized by the United States Govern
ment.
Along with the growth of trade union
ism in Britain. employers organizations
developed, and overnments-conserva-
tive and liberal as we'll as labor-in-
clined to a policy of fixing minimum
standards of wages and hours
Labor leaders long ago were con-
vinced that it was imperative in the
public interests for trade unions to CO.
operate with employers organizations
and the government. Permanent ma
chinery of conciliation and arbitration,
with all three agencies represented, re-
suited.

leader whose activities have carried
him from Moscow to Africa in the last
80 years
Arrested on charges that he helped
engineer the kidnapping In late June
OF Premier Sutan Sjahrir, Tan Malaka
will be tried by special Indonesian
tribunal for high treason. Conviction
would result in death sentence.
Tan Malaka made his first public ap-
pearance in rs years at Poerwakarta
last January at the opening of the con-
gress OF Indonesian parties and political
organizations. In those 26 years he had
led turbulent life in Moscow, Hong
Kong, Japan, Africa and the Philippines.
The legendary 50-year-old revolution
airy leader regained his old hold over
the Indonesia public at Poerwakarta
with a display Of flaming oratory. He
presented the congress with a seven
point peoples front" program. The
Indonesian republican government an
nounced agreement with all but two of
his proposals, but baked at his demands
for confiscation of all foreign property
and expulsion of British troops
Tan Malaka's group extended a vote
of confidence to the republic govern
ment but Premier Sjahrir at the time
remarked that 1T is quite possible still
that dissident elements remain among
the Communists"
Sjahrir's words proved true a month
later when Tan Malaka and his follow
ers attempted an unsuccessful putsch
at full cabinet session of the republic
government. News of the attempt was
hushed up and newsmen did not learn
of 1t until after the recent kidnapping
effort.

Lawyers Guild Asks
Removal Of Clark
For Chicago Speech
By rho Asxoeioted srsss

CLEVELAND, July 8.-The Ma
tional Lawyers Guild is resolved to
seek the removal Of Attorney Gen.
eral Clark unless he ''reverses the
policies" of the Justice Department.
1rked by speech Mr.. Clark made
recently in Chicago, the guild 80
decided in a resolution adopted at
the final session of the organiza-
tion's 10th annual convention yes
terday.
Speaking before the Bar Associa-
ton in Chicago June 81, Mr.. Clark
said one of the greatest dangers to
civil liberties of our fellow citizens
and one which should be taken lit
orally by all the members of our
profession, is the method OF Com
munism and Fascism to shackle de-
mocracy by indirection."
Urges Admonition.
Mr.. Clark also spoke OF the re-
sponsibility OF lawyers in guarding
civil liberties. He said he did not
believe in purges because they be
speak the dark and hideous deeds of
Communism and Fascism," adding
But do believe that our bar as
sociations, with a strong hand,
should take those brilliant brothers
OF ours to the legal woodshed for a
definite and well-deserved admoni-
ton"
The guild resolution called Mr..
Clark's speech AN insult to the
legal profession
/ 1T seeks to intimidate LAWYERS
into an abandonment OF the most
precious function of their calling,
namely the yitalization of democ-
racy through defense of demo-
cratic rights.
Held Witch Hunt" Invitation.
The speech is plain Indictment
to diSunity. 1t invites a witch hunt
against labor unions and their men,
oers: 1t seeks to promote intoler-
ance of democratic rights by sug-
/ costing that the efforts OF certain
groups to vindicate their rights are
insincere and artiflcially stimulated
by outsiders of Interior purposes; it

These charges are in the shameful
tradition OF Senator Bilbo and Rep
rcSentative Rankin"
The resolution recommended that
a guild committee present the Or
ganiZations views on Mr.. Clark to
President Truman and urge the
President to reverse the Justice De-
partment policies as reflected in
the public utterances and conduct"
Of the Attorney General: that the
committee discuss with the Presi-
dent the continuing fitness OF Mr..
Clark: and that the committee in

will demand Mr.. Clark removal un-
less he reverses the policies OF the

luton. but that what he said in his

Academy's Department of Aviation
Is a $12,000,0O0 airport here whose
construction "is essential to our pro-
grom," Capt. r. B. Pirie, head of
the department, said yesterday.
In an interview he declared that
appropriations for the airdrome
have been asked of Congress, and
on its consent hinges to large ex-

who took over the new department

Capt. Pirie said.
An important subdivision of the
departments curriculum is the
science of aerial reconnaissance
which during the war was devel-
oped to tremendous proportions"
the officer stated.
"A number of our big carrier
strikes" he recalled, were not pri-
