TRANSFER OF HIGHWAY 10 MADE
Will Operate as Military Road Until Tourist
 Facilities Develop

WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory, April 5.-The Alaska Highway will, flor the present. continue to be 1 operated by the Canadian army as military road, but will be opened up for civilian traffic as soon as possible, Gen. McNaughton, newly appointed Canadian representative to the U. s. Atomic Energy Com- mission, said here Wednesday at a ceremony turning over the Cana dian section of the road to Can ada.
 McNaughton stressed that the northwest highway system, as the Canadian section of the road is called. still is a gravel road through country largely undeveloped and not equipped to look after the wants of the tourist.
 He said it was hoped consider able progress" would be made dur ing the next year toward providing facilities such as hotels, gasoline stations and eating places needed before the read can be used by tourists.
 It was the policy of the Cana dian government to open up the highway progressively to civilian traffic as soon as these facilities were available.
 Gen. McNau2hton said the high way was a tribute to the skill and competence Of the United States Army as well as one of the many instances of cooperation be- tween Canada and the United States.
 Ray Atherton, United States Am bassador to Canada, said the high way, the airfields and the com munications system which helped to assure mutual safety in the critical war period fare destined to serve, in peace, the greater advance of Canada, the United States and the Territory of Alaska.
 In handing over the road to Can ada, MT Atherton said it com pares favorably with any good gravel road anywhere
 Tn the ceremony symbolizing the transfer, squadron of motorized road building equipment was driv- en before a reviewing stand by members of the United States Army Engineers. Then Canadian Army men drove it away from the stand, at clearing on the highway two miles from here.

 UNION STATEMENT i Another statement by the Ju- neal ILWU Local, addressed to the Empire this afternoon, expresses the union point of view concerning the retroactive pay issue, the prin- cipal question involved in the strike. The union statement follows:
 Daily Alaska Empire:
 Tn order to enlighten the peo- pie of the community as to why the steamers now tied up in Alaska waters were loaded at the port of Seattle by members of the IL.W.U. and upon their arrival at Alaska ports, the Alaska locals of tke IL. W.U. refused to unload them, in crder to clarify our position in the matter, we wish to make the fol- lowing statement:
 . Tn view of the fact that long shcremsn of the Pacific Coast ports have received. or are receiv- ng, retroactive pay the total amount of which shall be over eight million dollars while the lcngshoremen in Alaska have been denied retroactive pay by the dock operators, in it's entirety, and the steamship com panes have only adhered to the terms of the War Labor Board dir ective order Dec Tth, 1944
 Both dock operators and steam ship companies have refused to ad- here to the directive order of Aug. IS, 1945, which allowed the ILW.U. locals of Alaska base increase ot five cents and seven and one-halt cents.
 "Postponement of strike in Seattle has no bearing on action in Alaska, Alaska action does not deal with new demands-is only joh action to enforce payment Of legal wages resulting from War Labor Board directive finally approved by the Director of Economic Stabiliza- ton as of August Is. l945. Ketchi- kan agreement specifically states that increases granted in States become effective in Ketchikan.
 Employers have stalled many months Alaska ship operators broke off negotiations in Seattle. Re fused to arbitrate.
