WHEELER URGED TO
 FREE RUN
ReentrY of Montana Sen- ator Would Put Truman
 on Political Spot

WASHINGTON, July 26. = Sen. Wheeler D-Mon9 said today he is being urged to run as an independ- ent in the November Montana sen- atorial election = course that might put President Truman on a political spot.
 While Wheeler told a reporter he has made no C icisions, he said in- fluential Republicans as well as Democrats have asked him to make a three-man race of the contest that now lies between Democrat Jeff Erickson and Republican Vales N Ecton.
 Any decislon by the Montanan to reenter the fight for the Senate seat he has held "A years would call upon Truman either to extend again or withdraw the helping hand he gave Wheeler i'll the July 16 pri- mary.
 At that time the President called for an end to the smear campaign he said opponents were making against Wheeler, adding that cri- ticism of himself also was involved. This letter to Wheelers campaign manager was interpreted generally among politicians as an endorse ment of the incumbent's candidacy.

ALASKA SHIPS BARELY AVOID TIE.Up TODAY
Work Slowdown by CIC Unionisfs Charged in
 California Ports
tBY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

The west coast longshore situa- tion today is far from anything that would be created by one big happy family. The long, winding Pacific coast waterfront is dotted with open squabbles and many dan- ger points.
 Reading from north to south, AFL unionists meet at Seattle to- day in what has been described as an atomic bomb labor conference. The meeting was hastily shuffled together by State Federation of Labor president Evan Weston after CIO and AFL longshoremen started open feuding on Seattle docks. The CIO workers turned aside help from Tacoma AFL workers, thus precipitating the discussion.
 Federation president Weston promised today's meeting will de- velop enough news to make an earthquake.
 The hottest fight is blazing in California. It has coastwise impli- cations. The verbal brawl flared today when CIO longshoremen- answering an employer charge of work lowdown-accused the Pa- cific Coast Waterfront Employers Association of trying to provoke strike.
 Soviet Gets Preference
 The Association started the ball rolling with an assertion that long, Shoremen were discriminating against privately operated Ameri- can flag vessels. The employers especially Walter Wilkinson of Los Angeles-said that in one instance longshoremen unloaded a Soviet vessel at the rate of 20 tons per hour per gang. And the same day, Wilkinson continued, a War Ship ping Administration boat was un- loaded at a rate of little more than two tons per hour
 On top of this barrel of gloom sits the scheduled strike, August 1 of walking bosses. They want coastwise contract with employers. If they walk off the job Thurs day, mot west coast shipping might be tied up.

Demands fhai 2z Nazis On Trial Be ConvitiedO Of
 12,000,000 Murders
NUREMBERG. Germany, July 2e.

NUREMBERG, Germany, July 26. Justice Robert H. Jackson de- manded on behalf of the United States today that all of the 22 Nazi leaders on trial on war crimes charges before the International Military Tribunal be convicted as "conspirators" to wage aggressive war
 Opening the prosecutions sum- nation for the Allied Nations against Herman Goering and his q co-defendants after eight months of testimony and debate, Jackson declared:
 Adolf Hitler's acts are their acts. His guilt is the guilt of the whole dock and every man in it."
 Jackson was followed by the chief British prosecutor, Sir Hart ley w. Shawcross, who declared the prisoners were guilty of "12,000,00o murders"
 f1t OtCldlSQ lIlCy pni tA~ lPsiOCA h' and directed "the cold, calculated, deliberate attempt to destroy na- tions and races, to disintegrate the traditions, the institutions and the very existence of free and ancient states through murder conducted like some mass production industry in the gas chambers and ovens of death camps.
 For the first time in several months there hardly was an emp ty seat in the court room.
 Rudolf Hess, the third ranking German before he parachuted into Scotland and started his incredible insanity hoax, was the only de- fendant missing beside Martin Bor- mann, tried in absentia but often termed dead.
 Once when Jacksod was relatin, low the German army, Navy and air force grew, paunchy Hermann Goering and Grand Adm. Erich Raeder started a heated argument that military police had to break up.

Jackson $ Com. To Begin Meet HefeAugusi 15
Solutions 10 Fish Trap and Transportation Prob
 lens Sought

Washington, July 26-A Con- gressional committee which hopes to solve the questions of steam ship transportation for Alaska and allocation of fish trap sites in Ter ritorial waters will open hearings in Juneau August B.
 Rep. Jackson (D-Wasn) chairman of a subcommittee of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries committee will head the investiga- tions and will be accompanied by Rev Herter R-Mass), Rep Bland D-Va) and Delegate Bartlett of Alaska.
 After completing the Alaskan hearings, which are expected to take about a week, the committee will hold hearings on the Alaskan questions in Seattle August 12 and go to Portland, Ore, for hearings on fishery problems of the Colum- bia River on August 13. Action Must Be Taken
 Jackson said the Alaskan trans portation problems had reached a point where action to insure steam ship transportation to the Terri tory must be taken early in the next session of Congress.
 At recent hearing before the Maritime Commission here, private ship owners formerly operating the Alaskan service warned the com- mission they would not again op- crate the lines unless they were assured of sufficient income to make a reasonable profit from the business.
 They estimated it would require 67 to 100 percent additional freight rates to make the operation profit able.
 The lines now are being operated by the War Shipping Administra- ton, which asked for rate in- crease after losing money on the line during the war.
 Who To Control srGps
 Jackson's subcommittee expects to be able to decide, after holding the hearings in Juneau and Seattle, whether authority over fish trap sites shall be lodged in the Terri tory of in the Federal government. If it decides the Territory should have jurisdiction, the problem will be turned over to the Territory, but if it decides the Federal gov ernment shall have jurisdiction, legislation to provide for allocation of the traps will be proposed in Congress.
 The Interior Department, which through the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice has jurisdiction over trap sites now, last spring ordered a reallo- cation of the trap sites, charging big commercial fisheries controlled the majority of them, owning 25 to 80 sites each.
 Only Congress Can Solpe
 The cannery representatives op- pssed the proposed changes, saying they would cause great loss of fish food if put into effect on such short notice. They maintained the

Some Price Hikes Granted as Revived Agency
 Gets Back in Action

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Price Administrator Paul Porter said to- day that in general OPA will not rush to the rescue" of merchants who paid high prices in anticipa- ton of unloading at still higher prices
 OPA rolled back into action earl fer in the day with series of pricing orders, many granting price increases over June 30 levels (when the agency lapsed). Decontrols were ordered in many instances.
 Among immediate price hikes granted were those on coal, shoes and a long list of lesser items.
 AS these orders came out in a steady stream, Porter said in a statement:
 When it appeared certain that the country faced a period during which there would be no legal price control, we very quickly advised business and industry that price in- creases that might occur during the interlude without a statute would not afford a basis for per- manent increases"
 The Administrator continued, we shall follow the general principle that we shall not rush to the rescue of sellers who paid high prices in anticipation of unloading at still higher prices
 The OPA chief said that all food sellers should go back to their June 30 ceilings, except on items decon- trolled, until notified of any changes in their suppliers' ceilings.

SOVIET ATOM
 PLAN DEBATE
 OPENS TODAY
6romYko Given Ball, But Facing Overwhelming
 Opposition

NEW YORK, July 26. - Soviet Russia, in the face of overwhelm- ing opposition, prepared today to seek a showdown on her proposal for, an international convention out lawing the production and use of atomic weapons.
 Soviet delegate Andrei A. Grom- yko, who two days ago rejected the key points of the U. s. Atomic Control plan, was scheduled to open debate on his own proposal before a committee of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commis- sion at pm. (PST).
 The Russian plan already has been discussed both formally and informally by the 12 delegates and so far has been supported only by Poland. It appeared, therefore, that the proposal had little or no chance of approval.
 A majority of the delegates, led by the United States, have taken the position that strong system of controls must be established be- fore the United States could be ex- pected to give up her advantage as the only nation known to have atomic bombs. Herbert V. Evatt, Australian Minister for External Affairs and first Chairman of the Atomic Commission, recently de- scribed the Soviet proposal as I'm possible '' s.' Asss
 Gromyko, however, has continued to stick to his own plan and, at his request, it was placed on the agenda of Atomic Commission Committee No 2, which is charged with the task of drafting an atomic control plan.
 A U. s. spokesman, emphasizing that the American delegation had in no way changed it's position as a result of Gromyko's opposition to the Baruch plan, said: We will now let Gromyko carry the ball for a while and listen to what all the delegcoes have to say about his proposals"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

s WASHINGTON-Most distressing political development in the Nation is the weakening of public confi- dence in our democratic legislative system. Wire-pulling for war profi- teers by Congressman May of Kentucky, Congressional dawdling over OPA, the influence of cash campaign contributors over Con- gressional voting, all have weaken ed confidence in Congress at a time when we can't afford lack of con- fidence.
 This writer happens to be one who believes Congress can be, us- ually is, a bulwark of our demo- cracy. Furthermore, most of its members are honest, conscientious hard working They are a true cross-section of the American people which is the essence of demo- cracy.
 A small minority, however. can damage the reputation of the rest Long ago, Congress should have adopted rules of conduct to pro- tect its own reputation. But, since it covers up rather than purges way ward members, this column will call the roll of Congressmen who vote for the pocketbook interest rather than the public interest Here is the first rollcall:
 Rep. Frank B. Keefe, Wisconsin Republican-led fight to defeat leg islation for national cemeteries to bury war dead. Instead, he advocat- ed and won out on plan to bury war dead in private cemeteries in USA-which means large profits for private cemeteries. Most people don't know it, but Congressman Keefe is president of Lakeview

BOUNDARY OFFICIALS
 IN JUNEAU

Hon. Noel J. Ogilvie, Interna- tional Boundary Commissioner for Canada, and John A. Ulinski Inter-
 national Boundary Commissioner for the United States, arrived here this morning on the Princess Nor ah after a two weeks inspection tour of the Canadian Alaska boun- diary lines
 Charged with the task of keep ] ing the Canadian American line of demarkation clearly defined, the men have been reviewing work be- ing done by the two Canadian sur vey groups, who since last Spring have been clearing vistas and erect ing monuments along the Alcan Highway and the Klehini River ar eas. The vistas now cover a length )f five miles and are from 30 to 40 feet in width. Such work, the men
 said, insures accurate dissemination )f boundary data for aviators, land
 owners, and transportation officials. Since no fortresses or other in- stallations are used by either Can- ada or the United States in pro- tecting the boundary, a clear de- milton of line areas and the laws under which they are held is es- sential for a continuation of the present cooperative relation be- ween the two countries, the Com
 nissioners said
 Example 0f cooperation Since the signing of the Treaty of Ghent early in the 18th century 10 international boundary disputes
 lave arisen between Canada and
 he U S., Commissioner Ogilvie said. This fact, he added, could Justifiably stand as an example of intelligent cooperation and mutual trust for the rest of the world to ollow. Stretching across the entire U. s. and along Alaska, the inter national boundary covers $500 miles, marked by approximately 3,000 monuments.
 Commissioner Ulinski said regu- lar inspection and maintenance of the monuments or markers, was leading factor in seeing that this laudable relationship continues.
 Boundary Commissioner for 13 years, and an affiliate of the In- ternational Boundary Commission for 40 years, MT. Ogilvie last visit cd Juneau in 1888. His first trip to the Territory was 37 years ago and he still holds many graphic mem- ories of the Capital City at that time. The Baranof Hotel, he de- clared today, is one of the incest hotels he has seen, and compares favorably with those in cities many times the size of Juneau. Tn 1909 he stayed at the Occidental Hotel and in 1888 at the Gastineau. He recalls pleasant associations with both the late Governor Thomas Riggs and Governor John w. Troy, and is looking forward to renewing his acquaintance with the present Governor.
 Commissioner Ogilvie is appoint ed by the King of England and his full title reads, His Britannia Ma
 jestys International Boundary Commissioner. Dominion Geodesist, Geodetic Service of Canada"
