CEILING PRICES ON
 NYL0NS IS ANNOUNCED

JUNEAU-In anticipation of in creasing stocks of nylon hose, which already have begun to trie- kle into the Territory and whish are expected to appear on the mar ket in some quantity in the near future. the Alaska OPA announced today retailers pricing order No. l-4, to Alaska's Revised Maximum Pricing Regulation 194.
 As in the case of rayon hosa. the regulation requires that the ceiling price be plainly marked on each pair of nylon hose. where it can be checked readily by the pur- chaser, OPA advised
 The new order became effective Feb. 20 and permitg retailers three alternative methods for determin- ing their ceiling price for nylons:
 First method (simplestj: The domestic retail ceiling price per pair as marked on ea .l pair of hose, plus five cents. the total be- ing the Alaska sale price.
 Second method; If preferred and when the hose are purchased from the manufacturer, the Alaska ceiI- ing price may be determined by dividing the met invoice cost" by 50, adjusted to the nearest nickel. For instance. if the net invoice is S9 cents, the ceiling price will be $l.5O ($.S9 divided by 50 equals $1.4S).
 Third method: When purchased from a wholesaler, the hosiery's ceiling price may be determined by taking the met invoice costo per pair and dividing by CT and ad- justed to the nearest nickel. For example, if 90 cents is the net in voice cost, the ceiling price will be $1.35. ($ 90 divided by CT equals $1.34.
 Retailers may obtain a copy of the order and further explanation of pricing methods from the near est OPA office, it was explained

STEWART SAYS PAULEY
 SHOULD WITHDRAW Ma.

WASHINGTON senator ... art, Tennessee Democrat. asss.l=.. this week Edwin ". Pauley's non ination as underseeretary Of In, Navy had seriously split tue Democratic party and Paulev should withdraw his name in common decency..
 Both President Truman and Postmaster General Robert E. Hannegan, National Democratic Chairman. must certainly be em- barrassed' by the fight the nomin- ation has provoked" Stewart said
 T regret that Mir Pauley has not withdrawn his name or that Mr. Hannegan has not had him do It, Stewart added. TO continue to embarrass the President is bad.
 Stewart issued his statement shortly after Abe Fortas testified he heard Pauley discuss Democrat ic campaign contributions and the tidelands oil suit with Harold lckes but could not recall whether the two subjects were linked "on a basis"
 Later, Senator Bilbo praised Ar. Truman for standing pat" on the nomination. Bilbo said he wanted to vote for Pauley's confirmation To show his utmost contempt of statements made by Ickes in oppos- ing Pauley's selection.
 Neither Bilbo nor Stewart are members of the Senate Naval com mittee which is holding hearings on the nomination.

Communication
February i5. 1916 .rangell City Council

ANH tAAaA afH r#N To Wrangell City Council Wrangell. Alaska
 Dear Sirs.
 II has come to the attention of this organization that the City Council contemplates putting a new float on the site of the old Columbia Northern property now owned by the City thereby doing away with the float previously used near the Cold Storage
 Service policy in establishing these changes is generally con- demned as arbitrary caprice. for the reason that no forewarning was given locally and no attempt made to ascertain true facts or public opinion. Business people as we'll as fishermen voice their disapproval on this point. The us ual objection is raised. that the fishermen will have to pack their coal and other commodities such az bait. etc. through the streets of the town We feel this alone would create a considerable hard ship to the fishing fleet and a very unpleasant sight for the tourists who parade our streets during the summer months Tn the opinion of this organization which met here February 15, 1946. the United TrolIers of Alaska unit 5 adopted the following motion,
 That the Secretary be instruct ed to write the City Council ask ing them to recon9ided their plan. for the new proposed site, and a new float be placed and moored in the old site near the Cold Stor- age as has been the custom for the past 30 years"
 With keen appreciation of the importance of the future Of fish ing and related industries of the Trollers wish here to express their desire for the ut most in cooperation with the lo- cal authorities, It is hoped that all regulations and management practices affecting the fishermen in the future can be worked out together in a spirit of mutual cordiality.
 Yours truly,

TRUMAN PROMISES NO
 CABINET CRANES NOW

WASHINGTON President Tru- man said this week he is not ready to announce a successor To Inter for Secretary Harold L. Ickes and spiked reports that a Cabinet shift is in the making.
 He told a news conference he had discussed the Interior posI with Supreme Court Justice Wll- liam o. Douglas, but left up in the air whether Douglas would get t or even whether he had been of fered the job.
 At one point he appeared to have ruled Douglas out because he said he did not want to have two Cabinet members from Wash ington state Lewis B. Schwellen- bach, Secretary of Labor. is from that state.
 But he made this comment when asked whether Gov. Mon C. Wall gren of Washington. a former Sch ate colleague, is under eOnsidera- ton for Ickes' place. Mir Truman said Wallgren would make a good Secretary of the Interior. but you can't have two Cabinet members from the great State of Washing ton
 That would seem to bar Doug las too," a reporter observed.
 Draw your own conclusion. the President replied.

suspects "of the constitutional right
either to have charge laid against
them or to be set free"
Two other attorneys complained
that the suspects in the espionage
case, identified by the Ministry of
Justice last night as public officials
and other persons in positions of
trust" had been denied the right
to confer either with counsel or
members Of their families.
The government previously had
announced that the earliest report

mitted frankly that she obtained
secret data from Canada-would not
