Air lines reported q backlog which might take into June to clear. Unless more equip ment was put into service freight to Alaska by air would be negli- gible, at least for some time. At the same time a waterfront strike down the coast loomed for May 2, unless the conference committee HOW at work in San Francisco got together A general waterfront tie up could leave Alaska hanging on the ropes without a fishing season. its major source of revenue. Settle ment would have to come soon to get up any kind of pack in Bristol Bay as the equipment, supplies and manpower had yet to be taken in. similar situation pertained to the mining industry in the In terior which was planning this season on getting going again af- i ter the wartime shut down It had to have its supplies and equipment within the next few weeks or it would be too late to do much on the properties in the short season. True, Alaskans still had the good old hump-back salmon, and they could always revert to a straight seafood diet, patterning after the old Cordova fisherman who declar- ed se ate so many clans one sea- son that his stomach rose and fell with the tide. If the strike con- tinued, it looked like a shovel and the hope of long run out.

Wage Control

tation to more black markets and
moral bankruptcy"
Federal officials said they did not
see how controls over prices could
be continued If all brakes on wages
were dropped. They have said for
some time that maintenance Of con-
trolls under the Price Control Act
passed last July by Congress was
a very difficult task.
The officials have considered the
idea of dropping controls on every
thing except rents, but had de-
cided to work along under the diff
cult conditions for a while. They
knew that decision on stabiliza-
ton would have to be made, but
they did not expect showdown so
quickly.
Called Political Move.
Charges were made by Stabiliza-
ton Board officials that resignation
at this time of the industry mem
bers was a political move, designed
to embarrass the administration
four weeks before the congressional
elections.
Several weeks ago President Tru-
man asked the Advisory Board Of
the Office of War Mobilization and
Reconversion to study the whole
stabilNation picture and make rec
concentrations as to what the Gov
ernment's course should be.
The Advisory Board, made up OF
labor, public and industry ofhcials,
so far has been unable to agree on
a course. Board members are in
agreement that controls over prices,
wages and scarce materials should
be dropped as soon as possible.
They, however, have been unable to
agree as to when the controls should
be removed.
AFL President Green, comment
ing on the resignation Of the WSB
public members, at the AFL Chi
cago convention, said:
I'VE hope that it will mean not
only their elimination from public
life, but that it will mean the end
of the Wage Sterilization Board

cations to tender their designations

Forest Conservation
Under Private Control
Is Urged al Farley

Whether the Federal Government
or private enterprise will guide the
ak that cuts the Nations forests Is
the prime problem under debate at
the American Forest Congress to-
day.
The three-day congress, the first
called by the American Forestry As
ISOLATION since 1905, faces the criti-
cal task of adopting and selling to
the American people a program that
will restore the country's war-de-
pleted forests and Insure their con-
tinued growth for the future.
One purported answer to the prob
lem has been offered by Representa-
tive Frank Hook, Democrat, OF Mich
igan, who has a bill, certain to be
considered by the next Congress.
proposing Federal regulation OF
commercial cutting operations on
private timber lands.
CLIO Supports Measure.
This bill has the strong support
of the CIO International Wood
workers Of America. 1t is opposed
in general in a report submitted to
the Forest Congress by 19 national
leaders in forest conservation who
favored private and State control.
Senator Gordon, Republican. OF
Oregon told delegates attending the
congress today that he was opposed
to continued Federal acquisition OF
forest lands.
He drew a loud round of applause
when he declared: II hope every
acre of forest land now in private
ownership will remain in private
ownership" He described Federal
regulation OF forest cutting prac-
tices as a device toward centralized
control over all forestry.
Calls Requirement Illegal.
Senator Gordon said he had re-
ports from timber operators that the
United States Forest Service was re-
curing operators to whom they sold
the right to log national forest tim
Der to pay, in part, by turning over
their own cutover lands to the Fed
eral Government. He said such a
was illegal and that
cash sales, with no strings attached,
were perfectly feasible.
Forest service officials. asserted,
the Senator said, that they asked
payment for such lands only when
the owners of the lands did not in
tend to reforest them.
This afternoon the congress sepa-
rated into three divisions to discuss
timber management, forest and pro-
ducts research and multiple use Of
forests. A dinner meeting is sched-
uled for 7::30 tonight at which
Wheeler McMillen, editor in chief
of the Farm Journal, will be the
principal speaker.
The congress will end its sessions,
which have been held in the audi
torium of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce, tomorrow after
noon.
