The OPA office has informed the Ecskine dock company that if new tariff of dock charges is put into effect without an appli- cation for relief to them, the company may be subject to vi- olation of OPA regulations
 P. J. Watkinson, wee presid- ent of the company, states that the application for new tariff, which he said was not yet ap- proved, was made only in antici- patton of greater longshore char ges and that whether the tariff IS put in operation will depend on the new longshore agreement.
 Longshore unions, as reported by Associated Press. are asking for a 35 cent an hour increase, and from 22 to 35 cents for vari- ous classi6cations of seagoing workers.

 Buys Hotel

| Ui UioholClo III past yodIo 10 COin- pleted as of today with the talk ing over of the Sunbeam hotel and adjacent Totem Igloo curio store building by the Kodiak Realty and Investment Co.,, own CTS of the adjoining property on which is located the MarshaPs office, residence, jail, and Fielder apartment building.
 Seller is Charles Madsen, who built both buildings, who will now devote himself to his bear hunting expeditions and other private interests. The invest ment company is a partnership, consisting of Dr. A. Holmes Johnson, o. A. Torgerson and Marshall Crutcher, of Ketchi- kan. The sale price was not an- nounced.
 The new owners will continue operation of the hotel, contem- plating a change of name to Ko. diak Hotel, and will probably hire a couple to live in and man age it. Later it is planned to modernize the building further. MT. Madsen has disposed of the bulk of his curio store stock to l. J. Norman, of the Norman Photo shop, and various local merchants bought additional fix lures.
 The investment company some time ago announced plans for new building, including a hotel and store space, on the adjoining property after it is vacated on completion of a new federal jail building.
 Alterations are already started in the store building to alter it for Dr. Johnson, who will have his offices in it. His present loca- tion will become the home of MT. and Mrs Wilson Erskine, who are moving out of the Erskine residence in expectancy of the arrival soon of MT. and Mrs W. J. Erskine.
 MT. Madsen, who owns a large modern residence on Mill Bay road, will continue to make his home here. He is planning on sel- ling his Chris Craft and buying a larger boat to use on his bear hunting trips.
 The Totem Igloo curio store was opened on August, l5, 194O, and during the war years was the largest buyer of curios of any store in the Territory.
 The hotel building was origin ally store, built in 1919 and 1920, of solid loge, 3 stories high, and was opened in the summer of 1921. MT. Madsen previous to that operated the Russian Mission store located in the area of the GM hospital, facing the channel
 He operated the store in the Sunbeam building until 1928, Il .k o11 ,rf-ynt fn

City Leases Army Dock

AS the result of a trip of May or Lee Bettinger to Anchorage this week, tentative arrange ments have been made for the City of Kodiak to lease the Arm Y dock until such time as it is disposed of, MT. Bettinger an- nounced on hls return Wednes- day.
 The arrangements were made with General Johnson, of the A laska Department, and provide that the city can use the dock and pay $1OO monthly rental
 1t is presumed that after a G. day period the dock may come up for disposal by the General Land Office, and the lease is to run until such disposal.
 The lea,e arrangement is sub ject to approval by the council but there is no doubt the lease will be approved. Tentative ar- engagements are to have the dock managed for the city but details are still to be worked out.
 The Alaska Steamship has been notified of the availability of the dock, but whether the Cordova which presumably left Seattle Tuesday, or the Lakina, which is scheduled to leave to- day, will use it is not known here yet.

HEALTH FILMS REACH MANY PEOPLE

During October there were for ty-two film programs reaching 3300 people with health informa- tion, it was announced by the Territorial Department of Health. This figure does not include the film ShoWingS on tuberculosis in connection with the mass chest x-ray, nor does it include the film shoWingS aboard the MS Hygiene the departments marine unit. Re ports on these have not yet been received at the Central Office of the Health Department.
 The heaviest concentration of health film programs was in the communities of Southeastern Alas ka, with Ketchikan holding first place. Sanitation films were the most in demand, with nutrition and dental health films next in line.
 Advance bookings indicate that the film program for November will be approximately twice that of October.

Pan American Flies Twice AS Much Airmaii In Octo- Der As Any Previous Month

Reflecting the increased use of the new fiVe-cent air mail inau- gurated October 1, twice as much air mail was flown by Pan Ameri- can Clipper between Seattle and Alaska during October than in the previous month, E. H. Herold, PAA express and mail superin- tendent, said today.
 Air express carried in and out of Alaska by Clipper was two and one-half times the volume handled in October of last year, Herold added. Clothing, medical supplies, critical machinery parts, and food made up the bulk of northbound shipments.
 Twice as many persons travelled by Clipper to Alaska last month, as compared with a year ago in October, while southbound traffic was slightly less than last year Last years southbound traffic was stimulated by military personnel coming "out" following the wars end.
 Business men, contractors hunt ing parties and families returning after visits in the tSates comprised the bulk of traffic to Alaska.

Studies Of Arctic May Be Made

WASHINGTON, (P) Govern ment officials said today that pro- jected international studies of the arctic regions can get underway next summer if other nations agree.
 The program calls for establish ing weather stations throughout the artcic, possibly covering more than 2,000,000 square miles. Stud ieS of the tides and ocean currents also are proposed.
 Charles J. Hubbard, the U. s. Weather Bureaus arctic expert, said the United States plans no monopoly on information that it gathers and scientists who par ticipate will be free to publish their findings.
 He explained that the whole program hinges on international agreements because many nations claim interests in the arctic and sub-arctic regions, with Canada the principal one. Thus the ques- ton of hemisphere defense is in Volved.
 The Danes already are coopera- ting.

Forecast New Rent Formula

WASHINGTON, (P)-A predic- tion that Congress will write a formula controlling rents, with provision for increases where in equities exist" came today from Rep. Wolcott R.-Mich).
 He also forecast that the new GOP-dominated Congress will continue government rent controls at least until July l.
 Wolcott is to become chairman of the House banking committee which handles price and rent con- trol legislation.
 His statement to reporters came shortly after OPA was represented by high official as strongly op- posed" to a general increase in rent ceilings but favoring decon- trol of transient hotel rents. This official said any flat percentage rise in rents will have to come from Congress, if at all.
 Wolcott is whipping into shape clans for a quick investigation of the housing program for veterans, which he has described as "out- rageously bad"

Veterons' Big
 WeIeome Home" Porty at Stoke

Notwithstanding the assurances of many prominent merchants and leading citizens that they would support the plan whole-heartedly, announcement was made today that the executive committee in charge of Veterans Day program slated for Saturday, Oct. 19, will take off, cial cognizance of a lack of unity among veterans and civic groups at special meeting Monday eve- ming in the mayors office.
 A final decision will be deter mined by the nature of the reports of several subcommittee chairmen who have been Investigating dnan- cial features of the undertaking.
 Wheeler-Y Young Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, joined the American Veterans committee to registering opposition to the proposed plans ot staging 8 parade and an elaborate program of entertainments at the Stadium. It has again been Sug- gested that any funds collected for the proposed welcome Home" celebration be used as 8 nucleus of building fund. As frequently de- clared by General Chairman John Stokes the present committee was organized at the request of the Council of Community Clubs and asked to take over plans for a cele- bration. It is not authorized to con- sider building funds or collections to aid disabled veterans. Existing committees have been considering plans for a veterans home for years and the conclusion of World war l 2, 1t has been pointed out, has failed to speed up action.
 The present committee under the direction of Chairman Stokes, who was drafted" for his present at a general meeting of community clubs and civic groups, has mace excellent progress in perfecting Q program, but the committee reports will be the deciding factor Mon- day evening.
 The question of a revived move ment for a Civic Auditorium as Q veterans home has been agitateo of late and some action may pc taken shortly by representatives oi various ex-servicemen's groups ana a special mayors committee.

 Robinson Wins
 InitioI Round
 From Opposition
Special to The Democrat)

Cleveland, Sept. 70 Encouraged by their showing in the first test vote of the convention yesterday, forces opposed to President Reid Robinson of the International Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, C.I.O., were ready today to press for adoption of an anti Communist resolution and to fight against the reelection of the union president.
 The first key vote of the 42d an- nual MM.S.W. convention yesterday saw a tally of 480 to 397 in favor of placing before the appeals board, instead of a special committee, a charge that Robinson had solicited a loan of 5000 from an official of company with which the union was negotiating. Of the 131 Water bury votes, there were 106 in favor of the special committee and 25 against. The appeals board is dom- mated by Robinson members
 Robinson admitted to reporters that he had solicited the loan from an official of the Doehler Die Cast ing Corporation but said 1t "was through an error in judgment" He said the loan had not actually been made and promised to give the con- vention the full story.
 All Waterbury locals except the Scovill and Waterbury Watch Workers units voted to have a spe- cial committee probe the loan ne- gotiations. The floor fight was led by John J. Driscoll, Connecticut C.I.O. secretary, who is backed by John J. Mankowsh, executive board member, and several other ranking Connecticut leaders.
 In vote by the executive board on Robinson's proposed union pro- gram, the president prevailed by 6-5 margin, without voting him. self. Lined up against Robinson were Mankowski, Ralph Rasmussen Salt Lake City, Utah, international vice-president; James J. Leary secretary-tre who Is the pres idential candidate of the anti-Rob- inson group; and Angelo Verdu, oi East St. Louis, Ill.
 Supporting Robinson were Leon- ard Douglas, Flat River, Mo; Chase Power, San Francisco; Robert Car lin, Sudbury, Ont; Kenneth Eckers Columbus, Ohio; Homar Wilson Bessemer, Ala; and William Mason Butte, Mont.
 Nomination of officers was slated at today's convention session. The voting will be done this Fall by the members of M.MS.W. locals in their home cities.
 The Committee for Honest Lead ership, formed by the anti-Robin- son bloc, will make floor fight fol adoption of a resolution banning Communists from union office. Il was pointed out that switch o1 only A votes would have changed the result yesterday.

 q have today asked MT. Wallace to resign from the Cabinet"
 Wallace was the last of the New Dealers. Former Secretary of In- terior Harold L. Ickes left the Cabi- net in a burst of anger last Spring complaining that the President wanted him to do dishonorable thing. He writes a newspaper col umn now and nominally directs g left wing political organ known as the Independent Citizens Commit tee for the Arts, Sciences and Pro- feSsionS.
 Plans Unknown
 Wallace's plans were unknown to- day at the time of his resignation He is the darling of the left wing of the New Deal-Democratic coan- tion set up by the late Franklin D Roosevelt and now rapidly coming apart. The political impact of his resignation may be considerable Chairman Robert E. Hannegan o1 the Democratic National Committed had counted on Wallace to hold the left wingers in line for the Novem- Der congressional elections and 1T the big presidential contest tt come in 1948.
 AS Wallace packed his office ma terial today at the Commerce De- partment he may have been think ing little about what might have been. He was MT. Roosevelt's per- sonal choice for President in 1940 when John N. Garner walked the plank, mttering against the New Deal Four years later Wallace followed the Texan he had dis placed.
 The Roosevelt coalition even then was breaking at the seams. Hanne- gan frankly told the President that Wallace would be a handicap to his fourth term campaign. So MT. Roosevelt withdrew his support from Wallace, cautiously got be- hind the Presidential candi- dacy of Sen. Harry s. Truman O.-Mo)
 Wallace and Truman just about tied on the first ballot in Chicago in 1944, with favorite son candi- dates holding the balance of pow CT. On the next count Truman was in and Wallace out. MT. Roosevelt was sorry and made such amends as he could by firing Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones right aft CT the 1945 inauguration to make way for Wallace to come back in the Cabinet.
 Never Got Key
 Few men have been as close tc the Presidency as Wallace without ever having the White House key. The President said he had 6 statement to read on foreign policy He went through it steadily and it seemed, with relish. His aides assembled behind him seemed ir good spirits, too. Over in Paris Byrnes must have been feeling better than at any time during the past week. Rapidly the Presi- dent stated the New Washington rules-either play ball for the team or get out.

 Seekinq Automobiles
 Veterons Group
 To Aid Drivers
 To Get Licenses

Arrangements are now being made by the Veterans Administration in Hartford with the Sttae Motor Ve- hicle Department to give drivers examinations to amputee veterans entitled to automobiles, Alan Mac Gregor, contact representative for the VA here, announced today.
 MacGregor said that before any application from a veteran asking for a car can be approved, he must be examined to determine whether he iscapable of driving. As yet, no date or place for giving these spe- cial examinations have been set.
 Eleven applications for specially built vehicles have been made by local veterans. MacGregor said that most veterans seem to be ignorant of the right to obtain 8 vehicle. AL most all of the ex-servicemen who have made application SO far have not done so of their own accord.
 MacGregor explained that the VA ofice here knew from previous con- tacts of veterans in the city who might be eligible for a vehicle. These veterans were contacted and advised of their rights.

dent of the National Maritime Un- ion (CI.O), and other members of the executive board of the Commit tee for Maritime Unity.
 Bridges, Longshoremen and the Marine engineers Beneficial Associ- ation are set to strike when their contracts expire on Sept. 30 if em- ployers refuse to meet their de- mands for second round" wage in- creases. Their negotiations have broken down.
 The two unions have been assured support by the one independent and four other C.IO. unions which com- prise the Committee for Maritime Unity (CM.U0. The same unity pre- vailed throughout the strike threat of last June but Murray persuaded Bridges to accept less than he de- manded without striking.
 Bridges angrily agreed, but threat ened to use the full power of his union after Sept. 30 to win the best possible contract for his longshore- men.
 Bridges was understood to feel the C.M.U. and Murray now owe him their full backing because he yield ed to settlement last June which averted a strike and possible enact- ment of restrictive labor legislation by Congress.
 Murray's approval of the Bridges wage drive would signalize new CI.O. campaign to break pay ceil- ings. The C.IO. chief still hopes this might be averted until after the election, when the new drive would be spear-headed by his steelworkers and the auto workers unions. He was expected to urge a delay in strike action by Bridges, but some sources believed 1t doubtful that Bridges could be held off now.

Appeal Pending
 Tn City Court he had been or- dered to pay $75 week, but the amount later was reduced to $oo 3 week. When he failed to pay that full amount he was arrested on a charge of non-support. His appeal is now pending in Common Pleas Court. A continuance was granted last week in that court, pending the outcome of the Superior Court hear ing. .,
 Wilhelm told the court he did business amounting to $500 g month, and that his gross profits were $500. He said he sold tneir home in Waterville earlier this year for $12,OOO, and invested that amount in his new home.
 His income tax return form TOT 1o43 was presented to the court by Wilhelms lawyer, Atty. Harry F. Spellman.
 The defense attorney had asked for $500 to defend the divorce ac. tion, which Is based on charge or cruelty. The court ordered pay. ment of $30O, but Judge Trolano said the order would be without prejudice to counsel to ask for mo- dification of that amount later.
 No Cross Complaint
 The WilhelIns were married Jan. 21. 1928 in New Haven. The cruelty allegedly started Jan. l. ls4o. They separated last June.
 Attorney SpellmaI1 in arguing against heavy defense fees claimed the action was "an ordinary divorce suit" Mrs. Wilhelm has not en- tered a cross-complaint, but will contest the action.
