Alcatraz Prisoners Stage Murderous Riot
President Has F!are-Up
 With Reporters During
 Usual News Conference

WASHINGTON, May 3-Presi- dent Truman's sudden news con- ference flare-up set Washington buzzing today with more talk than did his delay in naming new Chief Justice.
 Yesterdays meeting with the press, in the crowded White House oval room office. ended with the usual, thank you, Mir President, after the Chief Executive:
 1.-Sharply criticized one re- porter for his line of questioning on the red hot Army Navy issue.
 2.-Told another, but with a smile, 1t was none of his business what happened at secret cabinet session Wednesday.
 These developments came shortly after Mir. Truman opened his week ly conference by saying he had no announcements to make.
 Many had come expecting to learn the name of successor to the late Chief Justice Harlan F Stone both as head of the Supreme Court and as one of its nine mem- bers. Last Sunday White House re- porters gained the firm impression that the choice already had been made and might be announced early in the week.
 To an early question, whether he had decided on the court ap- 2ointments, the President replied with a crisp, no comment.
 Later, under further questioning, he said he still is trying to find the right man for the job. Just, he said, as he is trying to find the right three men for the Economic Council to administer the recently enacted Maximum Employment Law.

 SEE JUNEAU
 REPRESENTED
Says Unless Dawes Elected He'll Resign His
 Senate Seat

Senator Norman R. Walker of Ketchikan this morning informed The Empire that if Dr. L. P. Dawes of Juneau is not elected to the Territorial Senate in the gen. eral election next October he will resign as senator to allow can fiidate from the northern end of the division to be elected. proyid- ing the candidate does not have the support of Governor Gruening.
 Senator Walkers statement was issued after reading an editorial in The Empire which stated that the defeat of Curtis Sf1attuck for the senatorial nomination was tough on Juneau since it would probably mean that Juneau would iose a seat in the Senate. Said Senator Walker.
 Regarding your editorial of May to the effect that the election re- suits look tough for Juneau, litait tAiJ NOiiSAi. Al A>i ~. I !. A|0 "tc IS not elected in October I will resign as senator to allow can didate from the north end of the division to be elected, provided he has not got the support of the Governor"
 Senator Walker yesterday was quoted by the Ketchikan Chronicle as stating he would resign if it looked like the Governor would control the Legislature after the general election in October. Sena- tor Walker has long believed that the First Division senate seats should be split evenly between the northern and southern halves of the division. If both Frank Pera- troyich of Klawock and Andy Gun dersen of Ketchikan are elected in october it would give the southern half of the division three senate seats to the northern half's one seat.

INDUSTRY E
 GIVEN BLOW
 BY WALkOUT
Railroads, Utilities, Sec! Plans Suffering Goal
 Nonproduttion
tBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Railroads, utilities and the steel industry-vital to the nations peacetime econversion--were hit harder than ever today by the py- ramiding i'll effects of the 33-day- old soft coal strike.
 This is how the absence of 4i8,- 900 miners from the pits in 25 states crippled coal-dependent op- erations:
 Railroads-The Office of Defense Transportation orders sweeping embargo on freight shipments and 25 percent slash in passenger ser vice on coal-burning lines. eftcc- tive May 10.
 Utilities--Low stockpiles of coal bring the prospect of worse brown out" restrictions than existed dur ing the war to highly-industralized urban centers, including New York. Chicago and Detroit. In Chicago, a state of emergency already has been declared.
 Steel--Curtaiiment of production schedules results in banking of aei- ditional blast furnaces and idling of ssaore w0rkcrs at plants o4 Befhle- hem Steel and Carnegie Illinois Steel corporations. two of the na- tion's top producers.
 As the number of workers idlcd in coal-consuming industries near ed the 69.o00 mark, gloomy predic- tions of complete or partial shut downs came from nearly every in- dustrial state.

DRAMATI(
 START AT
 JAP TRIAL
Tojo Gefs Slapped Twice on Top of Bald Pdte- !.
 Commofion Caused

TOKYO, May 3.-Two lusty slaps on the top of Hideki Tojo's glist- ening bald head by capricious CO defendant startled the courtroom this afternoon as 28 Japanese heard themselves accused of having plunged the Pacific into war o1 greed.
 The playful smacks were only part of the antics of Shumei Oka- wa, who long advocated an aggres- sive war to drive the White races from Asia.
 Shouting gibberish that even the Japanese said they could not un- derstand, Okawa had to be pulled forcibly from the courtroom by American military police at an af- ternoon recess.
 As clerks droned through the lengthy indictments in both Eng fish and Japanese at the nine jus tice International Tribunals first session, OkaWa--once an official of the Manchurian Railway-prayed with gestures and unbuttoned his blouse to bare his thin chest.
 Then, with a cunning grin, he learned forward and slapped the unsuspecting Tojo on his shaven head.
 The smack echoed in the audi torium, crowded with sober-faced officials and spectators. The shock ed former Premier looked up quick ]y from the copy of the indictment he had been studying, then turned and looked at the man in the row behind him with a sad, understand ing smile.
 Ut Col. s. Kenworthy, in charge of guarding the defendants, grab bed Okawa and settled him firmly in his seat, just as he had done earlier, when he buttoned the pri- Soner's shirt
 As the court recessed and photo- graphers streaked onto the floor Okawa again resoundingly slapped the glistening head as Tojo busted himself with his papers.
 Toio just grinned.

BULLETIN = San Francisco, May 3.-Marines attacked a cell tier in Alcatraz Island pri- son with 60 nm. mortars today in an attempt to drive into the open a group of convicts who had killed two guards and then barricaded themselves in a cell block.
 Four or five of the mortars were emplaced in shrubbery down the rocky cliff near the islands water line, and Mar ines started lobbing the shells through windows into the ver- itable pillbox the convicts had shaped for themselves.
 From nearby Benecia Arsen- al the Army dispatched a truck, under fast police escort, carrying an assortment of heavy weapons for use by AL catraz Federal guards.
 From San Quentin State Pri- son Warden Clinton T. Duffy dispatched eleven of his most experienced guards to- the as- sistance of the embattled guards at the island prison in San Francisco Bay.
 Twelve guards from the Fed eral correctional institution at Englewocd, Colo, left by plane to help put down the bloody riot. They were ordered to the scene by James V. Bennett, Director of the Bureau of Pri- sons, in Washington.
 Five guards were flying from Leavenworth Prison in Kansas to lend their assistance.
 The Marines landed 83 men on the island, sending in 23 more today to assist beleaguer- cd guards, and a shipment of grenades and shape charges" as we'll. The charges, a war de- vice, can demolish concrete structures.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Around every President always rages a battle o1 courtiers, all trying to get close te the throne. Harry Truman is nc exception.
 Around Roosevelt, hottest rival " was between Harry the Hop Hopkins and Tommy the Cork Corcoran, both at one time close to FDR, both good friends with each other. Then the two fell apart and gradually Harry euchered Tommy ou. of the White House picture.
 Today the same old personal battle to stay close to the throne is going on over Truman. The unpublished struggle is taking place between two of the Presi- dents closest friends-George AL len of Mississippi and Bob Hanne- gan of Missouri.
 Like Hopkins and Corcoran, these two were once good friends. It was Hannegan who put George Allen in the White House to act as his personal representative and keep his finger on political moves. To- day, however, the only thing they have in common is their individual affection for Harry Truman.
 In fact the breach has become so wide that George Allen played a big part in fomenting the Dixie Democratic revolt against Hanne- gan. George, who is one of the most likeable men in Washington and keeps the President in stitches with his amusing stories, has hosts of friends among the right-wing Democrats. He speaks their lan- guage, and quietly, though glee- fully, he stirred up the pot of

Stop Look and Beware
Friday The Thirteen

Superstition which has sacrificed
countless lives, wasted untold treas
ures, embroiled nations, severed
friends, parted husbands and wives,
parents and children, filed jails and
madhouses still lives on. Many are
the superstitions held in regard to
Friday the Thirteenth-the "hoh-
day. of superstitions. Among those
neld is that Friday the Thirteenth
is an unlucky date. For Friday
some of the superstitions are:
Friday is regarded as unlucky be-
cause many people believe that it
was on Friday that Adam and Eve
partook of the forbidden fruit. {.
Evil will come to you if you start a
Journey on Friday.
It is bad luck to begin job on
Friday. It is believed by some
that if garment is begun on Fri
day, you won't live to finish 1t or
to wear it out.
Friday nights dream on Satur-
day told
Is sure to come true, be it ever
so old.
Or-sneeze on Friday, sneeze for
sorrow. If you cut your nails
on Friday, you cut them for sorrow.
He who sings on Friday will
weep on Sunday. Friday Is
always the fairest or foulest.
Thirteen is an unlucky number,
teachers at a California teachers
college voted. Many believe
that Friday the Thirteenth is the
real unlucky date. 1t is bad
luck to set out on a journey on the
Thirteenth.
