 IN LABOR TROUBLE; AFL IN SPOTLIGHT
Green Takes Fling df Gov ernment's $ PoIiey-lewis
 in Key Position

WASHINGTON, March 15-With the postwar wave of CIO strikes subsiding, the rival AFL has moved into the center of the labor pie ture with two developments:
 1. AFL President William Green, often conservative in his utterances lashed out in vigorous, jabbine attack on Administration wage price and labor policies. AFL anger has been rising for weeks-not di- rected at employers but at the government and the CIO.
 2. AFL Vice President John l. Lewis, boss of the United Mine Workers, finds himself in more of a key position than ever in his wage negotiations now going on with soft coal mine owners. Recon version Director John Snyder told a reporter that with the settle ment of several major strikes, "The one hurdle remaining in reconver- sion is early, amicable settlement of labor contracts in the coal indus try"
 The AFL President described the economic situation as dark and confused. He said neither labor nor industry knows where it stands ol where it is headed.
 Last night in speech at Car bondale, Pa, Green called for a new wage-price policy to be drafted with labor, industry and agriculture as sistance and said it would be put in effect only for one year. After that. he asserted at the annual dinner of the Carbondale Central Labor Union. all government con trols over wages and prices should be dropped.

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-There was some highly significant back-stage argr- ment behind a relatively insignifi- cant recent news item that the body of the late Turkish Ambassa- dor, Mehmet Munir Ertegun, would be sent back to Turkey on the battleship Missouri.
 Real fact is that the return of the Ambassadors body was merely incidental. He had been dead two years, had been in sealed vault in Arlington. and there was no req son his remains could not have re- mained there longer.
 Real reason for the return of his remains at this time was that some of President Truman's close diplo- matic advisers had proposed send ing a flotilla of battleships. cruisers and destroyers to Turkish waters, officially on a goodwill trip, though actually for the purpose of having American ships in the Eastern Mediterranean when Russia is ex- pected to crack down on Turkey.
 At the rate Russian troops have been massing on the Turkish bor- der, this crackdown may come at any moment The British have se- cretly promised the Turks to give them whatever assistance possible and Truman was urged to have a healthy force of American naval vessels near Turkey as an indica- ton of this country's. interest in preventing aggression.
 The State Department, however, ruled against sending any large force of American vessels into the

 An additional heavy shock was felt in Los Angeles and San Ber- nardino at l1:20 a. m. There were no immediate reports of damage.
 The California Institute or Tech nology said the 11:20 shock was not as strong as the one at $50 a. m, which it declared compared with the disastrous Long Beach quake of 1883 and would have been quite destructive in a settled area. A break in the Los Angeles Aqueduct is about 150 miles from this city. There was no threat to the Los Angeles water supply, due to large storage reservoirs below the break
 The bureau reported shocks were still continuing at late hour this morning, causing huge boulders to roll down the mountainside over an area about 10 miles long.
 The center of the disturbance, it was added, apparently was in Indian Wells valley. near the community of Inyo-Kern in the High Sierra. ! One boulder tore off about F feet of the roof of the aqueduct and some five feet off the top of the sdewall, releasing about half the water flow and spilling 100000 gallons a minute across the state highway.
 Some patrol roads along the aqueduct. main supply of Los An geles' water. were closed by huge boulders or sections slippped down the mountain, the bureau said Holes were knocked in the roof oi the aqueduct at several points.

 SENATE SEAT
 CHALLENGED
SoIons Launch Inquiry Into Qualifications of
 Third Divisi0ner

The right of Steve McCutcheon' specially-elected Third Divisioner to sit in the Senate of the Alaska Legislature, was officially chal- lenged this morning, at that body $ brief session today.
 The challenge, voiced by Fourth Division Senator Leo Rogge, was prefaced by Judiciary Committee report on Senate Bill 5, introduced by Senator N. R. Walker, which would require that candidates swear to their qualifications for the office sought at least five days prior to any election.
 The McCutcheon issue has been bubbling in his own section ever since the special election at which he was named to fill the seat made vacant by the death of his father. Previous statements have been made that court action would be instigated to unseat the new Sena- tor: but that course has not been actually pursued beyond a request that the U. s. Attorney here move 10 intervent. action has come from the District Attorneys office
 In reporting on the Walker bill this morning, Judiciary Committee Chairman o. D. Cochran stated:
 Must Quality
 "This bill is apparently designed to require a candidate for Delegate to Congress or to the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska to show by the filing of an affidavit to the Canvassing Board before the count of the ballots that he or she Is qualified to hold the office for which they are candidate.
 "The Canvassing Board being purely a ministerial body, they would have no power to determine the fact of the qualifications of the candidate for the office of Dele gate or a seat in this Legislature from such affidavit or otherwise, and could do no more than count the ballots and make their certifi- cate of the vote canvassed. Hence the filing of the affidavit as pro- vided for in this bill would not ef- feet the purpose for which the bill is designed.
 Law On Question
 "A careful examination of the law governing the question of the election and qualifications of mem- bers to the Legislature and Delegate to Congress clearly shows that the Congress of the United States is
