SEATTLE, April 25.--Fiye ship sailings for Alaska ports with more than l6.000 tons of non-cannesy freight were listed today after an agreement was reached between op- orators and the striking CIO-Can- nery workers union, but the union still refused to clear passenger ships.
 "If they were allowed to sail. the way would be open for the shipping of non-union cannery workers north" g. spokesman said.
 Operators said the ruling de- prived thousands of Alaska-bound passengers of transportation. Set- clement of 8 longshoremen's strike opened Alaska ports only last week after three weeks tie-up, dur ing which supplies of fresh food and perishables were depleted and had to be flown in by plane. .

Rising Costs, Lowered
 Worker Efficiency, Are
 Endangering Shipping

SAN FRANCISCO, April. 25.-The entire intercoastal shipping trade is gravely endangered by rising costs and lowered worker efficien- cy," the Federal Fact Finding Board was told by Gregory Harri- son, counsel for the Pacific Water front Employers Association.
 Edward G. Dobrin, counsel for the employers, said at the same meeting that Alaskan shipping trade cannot continue to be main tained by private operators in the face of present conditions brought on by the rising costs and de- crease in workers efficiency"
 Investigate Demands
 The three-man Federal Board is investigating the demands of Harry Bridges CIO longshoremen for a wage increase from $1.15 to $1.50 per hour.
 Testifying in rebuttal for the en- ployers during the fourth day of the hearing, Harrison said:
 Today we cannot operate in the intercoastal trade and make ends meet.
 Tt is necessary that unit eff ciency be restored in the handling of cargo. For years workers eff ciency cn the West Coast water front has been declining. The whole history of the industry has been increased wages and lowered productivity.
 Although the International Long, shoremens & Warehousemen's Un- ion GLWU) demands wage parity with the $l.50 an hour prevailing in New York, he said, the ILWU will not accept in whole the agree ments prevailing in New York The only way that parity can be achiev- ed is to have New York adopt the Pacific Coast agreement. or for the Pacific Coast to adopt the New York agreement in whole"
 Frank P. Foisie. Waterfront Elm ployers President, asserted that la bor trouble and work stoppages led by the Bridges union were the biggest factors in the rising long, shore accident rate until lately when we have been able to reduce the rate greatly through the em- ployment of safety engineers.

CITY CLEANUP TO BE STARTED ON SATURDAY
Will Continue UntiI May 6 Mayor Lduds Native
 Village Clean-Up

On Saturday morning Juneau will begin it's city-wide Spring cleaning with every resident and organization including the Weather Bureau asked to cooperate.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson said the duties of the Weather Bureau would be minor. All he asked was plenty of sunshine and good wea- ther from Saturday until May 6, when the Cleanup week will close, leaving Juneau attics, basements, garages, yard areas and all public land property shining with Spring cleanliness.
 It was assumed that the Weather Bureau was agreeable to taking over this small duty. Sunshine breaking through the mist of Ju- ncau today was judged to be an in dication of the Bureaus decision to cooperate.
 Residents are asked to pile all collected trash from house and yard on the sidewalk curb of their property. City trucks will tour the vicinity collecting debris every day during the week. Papers and maga- zines should be placed in box or ether container, or tied with twine so the wind will not scatter them before the collection truck arrives.
 Bottles, cans, old shoes, etc, should be placed in box or piled as neatly as possible to facilitate the picking up process. Dead branches, leaves and all other win ter accumulations of trash should be stacked
 The Boy Scouts of Juneau have been asked to take over the clean up job for city parking areas. The Cub Scouts will clear branches. pa- pers. and assembled debris from the playgrounds at Gold and Fifth Streets, and Sixth and East Streets.
 Mayor Hendrickson commended highly the work done last week in the Native Village Clean-Up Cam paign under the direction of Henry Anderson. chairman.
 The drive was sponsored by the Alaska Native Brotherhood and the Alaska Native Sisterhood.
 Those two organizations con- c.ucted a thorough and splendid job in clearing tte Village the Mayor said.
 "The area is now spic and span. Truck loads of dead branches. pa- pers, bottles and broken glass have been removed, The success of the ANB and ANS's campaign should stimulate residents of Juneau pro- per to clean our city with the same enthusiasm and civic pride"

SHARP CUT IN FLOUR,
 PROSPECT
Government Now Pressing Wheat Buying Program
 -To Dominate Market

WASHINGTON, April 25.--Amer- jeans may have to take a still sharper cut in flour supplies than the g percent reduction ordered to make bread available for hun ger sufferers abroad.
 This possibility arose today as the government pressed wheat buy ing program which has the effect of closing the market to ether buyers, including millers and food processors. Grain thus obtained will be used to help feed famine areas.
 The government is in position to dominate the wheat market be- cause it has been authorized to pay farmers a 30-cent-a-bushel bonus over current market prices which are at ceiling levels. Other buyers cannot meet the government of fer without violating OPA price ceilings.
 Millers Limited
 AS result, millers are limited to supplies of wheat they have on hand. Some have reported they have enough to last them less than two weeks. By May l, all mills must reduce their supplies to 2l days requirements, if they have more than that amount. Stocks above the 2l-day supply must be sold to the government.
 Just what mills will do for wheat after their 21-day supply runs out is the big question being asked by the industry.
 Unless the millers can get sup plies from the government, they will be forced to shut down.
 May Resell
 Although officials have not said so, the government no doubt will find it necessary to resell some wheat to millers to enable them to operate after their current stocks run out and until new crop wheat becomes available in July.
 But with the government itself

WARNING TO FISHERMEN
 OF AMERICA
Must Be Constantly Alert to Keep Nation in
 First Ranks

CHICAGO, April 25.--American fishermen must be constantly alert" to keep the nation ranking first among world fish producers, Rep. Schuyler Otis Bland D-Va chairman of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries committee, said today.
 In an address prepared for the first annual convention of the Ma tional Fisheries Institute, Bland as- serted, Heretofore, our American fishing products have been largely sold within the United States.
 Since foreign producers are try ing to share our markets, the American fishing industry must be constantly alert and be always on its toes if We are to maintain our present position as the leading fish producer of the world"
 He continued, England is mak- ing rapid progress in re-establish- ing her fishing fleets. I am told that Russia today has perhaps more factory and refrigeration ships than any nation.
 Foreign Outlook
 "Norway's fishing operations are being restored Iceland, with 62 new quick freezing plants, is no longer finding ready sales in Brit ain, and is dumping its fish into the United States. Several foreign nations apparently hope to ex- change their fish for American dollars.
 In another prepared address, J. L. Alphen of New York, President of the Institute, said that The position in which we find ourselves at present is a very favorable one. We have market considerably be- low the saturation point, and that means new business for all of us without having to resort to the practice, as many other food indus tries have been obliged to do, of cutting into our competitors terri tories.
 Speedy and improved methods of preservation have closed wide gaps between consumer and the producer Air freight will reduce the distance in the postwar era to an almost meaningless time; and the universal acceptance of re- frieerated distribution will make it possible to provide the highest duality at reasonable costs"

JUNK TARIFFS ]. E pR0p05AL FOR NATIONS
Secretary Byrnes Will Pre- sent Issues at Confer
 enCe in Paris

WASHINGTON, April 25.-A pro- posal that all European countries junk their tariffs in bid to speed economic recovery of the continent has been drafted for Secretary of State Byrnes to lay before his Paris colleagues.
 The free trade agreement would extend over a fiye-year period.
 Officials said the proposal is part of an overall plan which Byrnes took to Paris with him for today's opening of the foreign ministers conference designed to break the Big Power deadlock over European peace settlements.
 The plan, however, has divided the Secretary's advisers. In sup port of it are said to be Under secretary of State Dean Acheson, Counselor Benjamin Cohen and Assistant Secretary Will Clayton.
 Those described as opposed in clude Assistant Secretary James Dunn and Freeman Matthews, chief of the Departments Office of Eu- ropean affairs. Those two and Co., hen are in Paris with Byrnes.
 The heart of the proposal is that a United Nations regional office be opened at Geneva to include a European economic council func- tioning under the U. N Economic and Social Council, which has headauarters in New York.
 The task of the Geneva council would be to tackle European econ- omic problems on continent wide basis instead of according to na- tional political boundaries or the geography of river valleys and port locations. Four sub-agenciss would handle CD fuel and power, t2) trade and industry. t3J transport of all sorts, and t4) food.

LARGER SUM FOR HALIBUT CONTROL
 E RECOMMENDED


 WASHINGTON, April 25. = An appropriation of $39,700 to continue the Pacific halibut allocation pro- gram through the coming season was reco. . nended by the Senate Appropriations Committee yester- day.
 The Committee added the amount to an appropriation bill previously passed by the House.
 The money would go to the U s. Fish and Wildlife Service to ad- minister the halibut fishery control program. During the war the pro- gram was handled by the Office of the Coordinator. of Fisheries, which was discontinued last Oct. 29.
 The Committee explained that when the budget estimates for the fiscal year beginning next July l were prepared it was anticipated there would be no need to continue any of the fishery controls beyond June 30
 However" the Committees re- pert said, the Fish and Wildlife Service has been requested by the OPA and by the Department of Agriculture to administer an allo- cation program for Pacific halibut during the season which begins May l and ends in November, 1946.'
 The $39,700 would be added to $5,000 previously allocated to the Office of Coordinator of Fisheries to carry the halibut program through November, the Committee reported

 My dear sister:


 My dear sister:
 I don't know whether my family appreciates my writing letters and then publishing them in the news papers. My wife and daughter sthink it is a terrible practice, and the latter raised cain when I for got even to send her carbon of what I sent out to 600 newspapers. She thought I might at least have done her the courtesy of giving her a copy first.
 However, sometimes I can write better when I am talking to mem bers of my family, rather than put ting things down on a cold, imper- sonal page. And today I have been thinking about two important events-one the fact that you have just presented society with new and charming daughter, and sec ond, the fact that Jimmy Byrnss is sitting down ih Paris today to try to begin writing peace treaty.
