Czech Interference
Laid 10 Sfeinhardt
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, May 24.-The indepen-
dent newspaper L'Ordre yesterday
said it had copy Of letter written
by Laurence A. Steinhard, American
Ambassador to Czechoslovakia
which it said proved that he was
supporting the moderates in the
CZechoslovak elections.
The letter, the newspaper said
was addressed to Harold F. Sheets
chairman of the board of the
Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. of New
York.
Gn Prague Mr. Steinhardt
said it was "preposterous to say
that I or the Embassy is sup
porting any one in this election.
We are here as interested spec
tators, but it is none of our bus

CAS- to the letter, the Ambassa-

Unions IS Demands
Are Accumulation Of
Several Years Effort
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, May 24.-The As de-
mands for increased pay and re-
visions or additions of working
rules made on the Nations rail-
roads by two unions are an ac-
cumulation of several years of pro-
posed reform.
Some of these proposals have
been sought previously in at least
a few State Legislatures as safely
measures
Many of the requested provisions
are notifications of existing rules,
but a few would bring about en-
tirely new conditions of railroad
operation.
These include:
An increase of 10 cents an hour
for night work by local freight yard
and unclassified crews.
Time -and-one-h half pay for Sum-
days and certain specified holidays.
Limitation of the length of freight
trains to 10 cars and passenger
trains to IA.
Paid sick leave ranging from 7
to 80 days, depending on length of
employment.
Provision by the railroads of
required timepieces at cost, the
railroads to pay for cleaning and
repairing them, plus minimum of
two hours pay for time consumed
in having watches inspected.
Unions Other Demands.
Other demands among the IS
include:
Payment for all time in excess of
IL continuous hours that crews are
held at other than home terminals.
Equipment of all locomotives and
cabooses with suitable awnings.
windshields, approved seats, cold
drinking water and sanitary paper
drinking cups; cabooses to be elec-
trically lighted.
Provisions of suitable seating and
desk space on all passenger trains
for they exclusive use of conductors.
| Appointment of yardmasters or
assistant yardmasters from among
qualified applicants on a seniority
basis.
AS to the pay issue, the heads Of
the two striking rail brotherhoods-
the engineers and the trainmen-
turned down last-minute offer by
President Truman of an 181a cent
hourly increase ($148 a day., al
though their latest demands had
been for minimum s144 daily in
crease, with a general raise of 18
per cent.
Minimum Demand 18 Per Cent.
The union heads said the suggest
ed 1872 cents amounted to less than
II per cent increase for many of the
men and that the unions minimum
demand was for 18 per cent, which
would bring brotherhood members
up to the IS per cent increased cost
of living formula "as recognized by"
the Labor Department.
Railroad spokesmen have said
the unions 18 per cent demands
would equal 20 cents an hour. A
railroad representative said this
would add SITS 100000 yearly to the
carriers payroll. The railroads also
have estimated that the working
rule changes would cost an addi-
tional $80O,000,000.
Following is table showing wage
rates now at issue:
The first column represents basic
daily wages between January July,

operating personnel. The figures

Alaska SS. Appeals Search For Missing For Settlement Of Plane Near Seward Ketchikan Dispute Unsuccessful

SEATTLE, (H) - The Alaska Steamship Company appealed Sat urday to the Maritime Commission for action to settle a jurisdictional union dispute that spread from Ketchikan to Seward Alaska.
 Unloading of the steamship Bar anof in Seward was held up by the controversy between Seward CIO longshoremen and the deck department of the AFL sailors union of the Pacific.
 The trouble started in Ketchikan Dec. IF, company officials said, when longShoremen demanded to drive Winches in all matches they were working.
 Steamship company spokesmen said members of the AFL-unlon were entitled under contract agree ment to handle winch-driving in Alaska ports.
 J. Fred Zumdieck, superintend- ent of the Alaska Steamship Co. said he had been informed that one hatch still was being worked on the Baranof, presumably the hatch manned by the deck crews.
 The Baranof and North Sea, af fected by the Ketchikan work stop page, carried much needed cargo north after the prolonged mari time strike.

 Bannister is superintendent of the Seward hospital and Home in the Woods Sanatorium. Roth has headed Seward schools for four years. He formerly taught in Jun eau. Both men are married and have children. Bannister's wife is an amateur pilot and has been participating in the search.

Russia Charged With Breaking All "E'Our FreedOms'
(BY Alex H. Singleton)

WASHINGTON, (P) - Charges of economic enslavement, political terrorism, religious repression, broken promises and ambitions for military power were leveled against Russia today by the special House committee on postwar eco homie policy.
 The committee report - tn Q Sharpest official criticism of Rus sia on Capitol Hill since the Soviet Union went to war with Germany demanded that the United States assert positive leadership in Flu rOpean economic affairs.
 Simultaneously it asserted that If Russia actually is found to be using German war plants to re- arm, the Western Allies should de- nOunce the entire POtsdam Big Three agreement and demand that the SovietS ''evacuate Germany completely"
 First reaction to the committees document came in the form of a protest against "Headline Hunt ers' by Rep. Sol Bloom D.-N.YD, retiring chairman of the House foreign affairs committee.
 Bloom told reporters the com mittee should have submitted it's evidence, If it has any" to the Senate and war departments for investigation. He contended the report would do far more harm than good" in current diplomatic negotiations.
 The state department declined any immediate comment.
 The unanimous committee re- port offered a number of specific recommendations, among them:
 l. A review of the financial as poets of American occupation pol icy in "order to substitute produc- tive and self-supporting economies in ex-enemy countries for the present method of supporting them with American money while they, in turn, are being drained by Russia and France
 2. Loans to American occupation authorities through the export import bank to start the flow of raw materials necessary for in dustial production.
 3. An inquiry into restriction on the movement of American busi- neSsmen and the freedom of access into foreign countries of American information agencies, including books, magazines, papers and movies, as well as our reporters can be facilitated"
 4. A specific study of safeguard ing the trade recommendations with respect to the abuse of state trading practices, particularly by the state monopolies of nations who are not members" of the world bank, monetary fund or

DE N0uNCE RUSSIA
Russia Intends To Keep Control Of Dairen
(By William H. NeWton)

NRepreSenLlnS the cOmDlneQ WOrlQ
 preSsA
 DAIREN, Manchuria, DelayedD P)-Soviet Russia, I learned to- day, intends to retain full control of the city of Dairen-gateWay to Manchuria-and will keep her military forces there until after the peace treaty is signed with Japan.
 This will be done under a tech nical definition of a clause in the ( lineseRuSSian pact concerning Dairen, which says in peacetime Eairen is not included in the
 were of efficacy of naval base ! lgulations determined by agree ment on Port Arthur of Aug. IA, 1945, and shall be subject to mili- tary supervision or control in this zone only in the case of war against Japan"
 Tn peacetime" is the catch Technically, China and Russia still are at war with Japan until a peace treaty is signed. . Despite the fact that two Amer ican correspondents who visited Dairen aboard U. s. navy COur- fer ship were refused permission to enter the city by the Russian commander, Maj. Gen. V. U. Korz- hanoff a comprehensive picture of conditions under the Soviet rule has been obtained from neutral and Chinese sources.
 Dairen is a cold, depressed, dis mai city. Life is almost as closely regulated as behind the Iron Cur tain.
 The only currency is Soviet mil itary script. Industry is paralyzed Hunger and unemployment is widespread.
 Only three buildings in the city are heated against the freezing cold. Prices are wildly inflated.
 Russian and Chinese civilians who lived there before and during the war eke out an existence of privation and fear. None dares to be intimate with the Americans, Summary arrests and inprison- ment are the rule rather han the exception.
 There is no freedom O. speech or the press. One Chinese lnguage newspaper is published infre- quently, wherever its Communist publishers "can think of some thing to say against the United States" according to eliable sources.
 Petty curelties to the hinese and White Russians are an lmost daily occurrence. Many roung Chinese students have bet ar rested for expressing belle that full Chinese sovereignty shdd be restored.
