Labor Peace This Winter Is in Doubt
Experts Divided On Opinion Whot Will Toke Piece

Washington, Dec, IS -tUp9- What is the outlook for labor peace thk wntere wm R be another season Of strikes and eltter dead. loclssp
 Government labor expeFta boiled hy the United Press held divided opinions today but many expressed belief that the steel wage fa,spufe would set the keynote.
 n that forecast should proge true, a peaceful settlement of the steel case might enable tlae nation to escape Q repetition of its ae&6 industrial warfare. Working time lost in strikes this year win reach an All-tlme high, approximately three times the figure for less. the previous record year.
 Two Experiments Ttaea . 10 cope with new strike threats, the Labor Departments Concllla- ton Service has launched two ex~ peFiments in the past week, seeking new avenues to industrial peace.

 If those experiments should prove successful, they will be tried in oths or industries and areas.
 Neither, however, offered a mech. anism for handling the steel case. CrO. Unions have been negotiating in the rubber and meat packing industries, the major cIlo. Unions appeared to be waiting for the United Steel workers to take the lead in their new wage dispute.

Soviet Press Says Prestige of Conference Be-
 ing Damaged

MOSCOW, Aug. l2.-The Rus sian press criticized Secretary Of State Byrnes today and said the peace conference should go ahead with it's work if this meant post poning the United Nations Assem- bly, meeting from Sept. 23 until the end of the year.
 This simple, logical way, now ever, apparently does not suit those who already are planning to post pone the Paris conference in order to play some new game behind the back of the conference" said a Tass dispatch from Paris.
 Stressing the importance Of the conference in deciding the peace terms for much of Europe, the of- ficial Soviet agency. said "unseem- ly maneuvcrs carried out behind a screen" by some delegates already had inflicted damage to the pres tige and authority of the confer ence.
 Britain and the United States played leading role in hamper ing the main proposal of the Council of Foreign Ministers on questions of procedure the dis patch declared
 "The attitude of France also de- serves scrutiny" the dispatch con- tinued.

Something apparently hap pened behind the walls of the con ference resulting in the French re- versal."
 The newspaper Prayda, in an ar ticle by the reviewer Jacob Vok- torov, said an English-American bloc was trying to control the con- ference, using H. V. Evatt of Aus tralia to make their speeches ano maneuvers.

SOLDIERS ARE HELD,
 NO TRIAL
Legal System of US. Army Denouneed-Cou Mar
 tidI System Blasted

FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug. 12. Capt. Earl Carroll of San Bruno, Calif., denounced the U. s. Army's legal system today after receiving smuggled appeal for help, which resulted in the disclosure that l3 American soldiers and civilians had been held in army jails for as much as two months without facing formal charges or receiving legal counsel.
 Carrool, who blasted the Army court martial system once before, said it was neither military nor justice
 The smuggled appeal, written by Pfc. Daniel P. Walszak, 22, of De- troit. who was jailed June Il for investigation in the killing of a German girl, was referred to Car roll by Maj Joseph s. Robinson of New York, a prosecutor in the Lich- field stockade trials at Bad Nau- helm, to whom it was addressed.
 
 The investigation which the ap- peal immediately preeipitated dis closed, among other things, that one Chicago civilian-Lawlence F. Benson, 40-had been jailed since June g and did not know why he was being held. Army officials said they were unable to ind any record on him.
 Carroll quit the Lichfield pros ecution staff last February in pro test against what he described as an effort to whitewash high offl- cers.
 Col. Owen Summers of Portland, Ore. commandant of the Theatre Headuuarters Command, and Capt. Harold Chase of Salina, Kansas Assistant Staff Judge Advocate, de- tended the court martial system They said that shortage ot staff lawyers and complexities in in- vestigations caused. delays in some cases.
 Col. Summers, who intervieWeo six of the complaintants, said
 Tt is unfortunate that these ln- vestigations take entirely too long.

RATE RAISES STRESSED AS

New Ships Put as Primary Need al Congressional
 Hearing Seattle

SEATTLE, Aug 12.-The Alaska Steamship Co., and Northland Transportation Co, proposed at a Congressional hearing here today that the United States government provide construction and operating subsidies for U. s. vessels in the Alaska trade. They cited competi- tion from airlines and Canadian steamship lines.
 Opening hearings here today was Subcommittee of the House Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries Con- mittee, headed by Rep. Henry M. Jackson tD-Wash).
 Congressman Jackson announced that Seattle-Alaska ship operations probably will continue under the War Shipping Administration until next March He said ship lines have petitioned for a 67 percent overall increase in freighgt rates effective when they resume private operations.
 The Northland and Alaska Lines today also asked the Subcommittee to study request for legislation directing the Maritime Commission to construct and allocate to regu- lar Alaska operators, the vessels necessary as replacement tonnage to bring their fleets up to prewar levels"
 Subsidy Or Rate Increase Other of their recommendation included that steps be taken to sta- bilize labor management relations and that common and contract carriers be required to obtain certi- ficates of public convenience and necessity.
 Long told the Congressmen that to bring tonnage up to prewar lev els. the Alaska Steamship Co, would need to invest $l1 100000 in l2 new passenger ships and freight CTS.
 Sitting with Rep. Jackson were Reps. s. o. Bland tD-Va) and c. A. telter tR-Miss).
 Jackson said that all the 35 per- sons who testified last week in re- gard to Alaska fisheries favored abolition of the 438 fish traps now in use in the Territory, and the transfer of Alaska fishing control from the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service, to the Territorial govern ment.

DECISION BY BYRNESHELD
 U55R INSULT
Red Delegate CIamors for Freedom of Speed"
 -What Ho?

PARIS, Aug. 12-Soviet Delegate A. Y. Vishinsky declared today that a ruling of Secretary of State Byrnes at the peace conference was "an infraction of all rules and an insult to the Soviet Union"
 Byrnes had taken over chairman ship of the conference under the rotation plan and Vishinsky took exception to the chairmans ruling that he would recognize only Yugo- slavia at today's session to answer Italy's plea for softened peace.
 The Soviet delegate took the floor after the Yugoslav delegate Kardelj had delivered a 5 5,000-word speech charging that Italy still habors an aggressor's spirit
 There must be no infringement of the right of freedom of speech, V said Vishinsky in insisting that the conference be opened to general debate on Italy's plea. T consider this infringement an insult to the Soviet Union.
 q insist that this insult not be maintained and that full debate be opened" he continued.
 Byrnes called for stenographic report of Saturdays session and on the basis of it reversed his previous ruling against general debate now on the question of Italy's appeal.
 Previously Byrnes had ruled that the conference had decided Satur- day that a general debate would be reserved until a later date and that the right had been granted for only Yugoslavia to speak at the present.
 The conference then adjourned at D. m. 11 a. m. PST) until tomorrow.

JERUSALEM, Aug. l2- Two more immigrant ships crowded with Jewish refugees anchored just out side Haifa Harbor today. adding an explosive pressure to the Palestine situation already tense with re- ports of pending British block ade.
 Arrival of the two ships brought to 3.900 by Jewish estimate. the number of refugees aboard ship at Haifa or. enroute who may not be allowed to land because they are without immigrant certificates.
 Many Jews have predicted blood shed if the immigrants are not allowed to land, and there have been hints at direct action" to bring them ashore.

LAF0LLETTE COP BOUT
 SET TUESDAY
Wisconsin Primary Battle Carries National
 Significance


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Sena- tor Robert M. LaFollette, Jr, takes his politically famous name and 20- year-Senate record into Wisconsin's primary tomorrow against a bitter ly opposing Republican organiza- ton. The race has strong overtones of national import.
 LaFollette is seeking the COP senatorial nomination in a battle with Circuit Judge R. Mccarthy, former Marine Corps Captain who carries state convention endorse ment.
 Race Counted Close
 Counted by all observers as a close one, the Wisconsin contest heads a weeks political billing that includes another Republican sen atorial battle in Vermont, a Demo- cratic governorship race in South Carolina and a COP state conven- tion and Democratic primary in Delaware.
 LaFollette's efforts to bludgeon his way back into the Republican ranks he left for the now dissolved Progressive Party is being watched especially for any signs it may cast ahead in the 1948 battle for the COP presidential nomination.
 Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who says he wouldn't duck if the Republicans want him to run against President. Truman two years from now, tried to help La- Toilette with a letter before the COP state convention managed by Chairman Tom Coleman produced the indorsement for Mccarthy.
 Party Control On Block
 A victory for LaFollette in the Senatorial race apparently would dynamite the hold Coleman has on the Wisconsin Organization and deal the Senator in on naming the States 24 delegates to the next national convention.
 There also are signs of dissension in the governors race. Despite the party conventions refusal to sup port him, 83-year-old Gov. Walter s. Goodland is running for renom- ination. The convention endorsed Delbert J. Kenny, 50, investment banker. Maj. Gen. Ralph M. Im- mell, former State Adjutant Gen eral, is the third candidate.
 The Democratic ticket has Daniel w. Hoan, former Socialist Mayor of Milwaukee, unopposed for the governors nomination and former Rep. Howard J. McMurray as the sole candidate for the Senate.

 In Vermont, touch and go race has developed for the Republican Senatorial nomination, left wide open by Senator Warren R. Aus

"Ghcsf Rockets" Streak Over Sweden; 300 Reports
 Cause for |nvesiiqafion

STOCKHOLM Aug. 12.-Swedish military authorities plan to publish within the next few days a com- munique on an investigation they have been making of the ghost rockets that have been streaking daily over Sweden since early July leaving little doubt that the country has become an experiment. al target range.
 Official sources have declined to speculate on the source of the mysterious spool shaped missiles, but it is generally believed that the rocket-propelled objects come from some place along the Baltic coast of Germany. Only in a few cases is it known that the missiles actu- ally landed in Sweden.
 Between July 9-12 authorities re- ceived 300 reports of the missiles and since then reports have poured in daily. Fragments examined by scientists gave little in the way of clues, except to indicate the pre- sence of coke and other common materials. N
 In general the rocket IS described as a small object with flaming tail, which speeds at great height, making little sound. The longest flight of any of the missiles so far as military experts could deter mine, was about 600 miles, as com- pared with the range of 35 to 45 miles for the first German V-2 bombs.
 Swedish newspapers have been cautioned not to publish the names of places where the rockets ap- pear, so that the senders would not be provided with important data.

ST PAUL, Minn., Aug. l2.-We drove from Three Forks, Montana to Bismarck, North Dakota today through country that Leo claimed he would not trade for one barn. acle off the City Dock. For Leo definitely does not like the warm weather, although today was not a scorcher by any means.
 We saw some ot the wheat being threshed and from all evidence they are having hard time to get it all in.
 In Miles City, Montana, where we stopped for lunch, Leo, was kept ousy explaining the fine points of building a cal and racing 1t. Sev- eral of the boys were going to see what could be done to promote a derby race next year for Miles City.
 One of the scenic highlights of the days drive was visiting the Roosevelt Park in the Badlands Of North Dakota. Most of this coun- try. you can see where you are going for two days in advance. Leo wanted to know what all the people do here with nothing to look at and as for the water, Leo has to drink cokes.
