Refused Ocean Going Trips.
Since the start of the maritime
strike Thursday, the tugs have
towed barges carrying foodstuffs
and other commodities for the met
ropolitan area but have refused to
aid ocean-going ships to enter or
leave the harbor.
Max Korenblatt, chairman of the
SIU-SUP Joint Strike Committee,
said the action against the tugs
would affect about 1900 boats. He
was unable to estimate the number
of men involved.
Shipping men in New York called
the walkout the costliest strike In
the history of American shipping.
In Washington the War Depart
ment said the strike virtually had
paralyzed shipment of American
troops and supplies to Germany and
japan. But Harry Lundeberg, head
Of the sailors union, declared in
San Francisco that the War Depart-
ment statement was a "falsehood." !"
I'VE have an ironclad rule in effect
that no ships Of the Army or Navy,
either troopship or auxiliary vessels,
are to be affected by the strike" he
said in telegram to the War De-
partment For your information,
we have cleared each day here with
the proper authorities"
Last Wednesday Mr.. Ryan was
asked If troopships and relief
cargoes would be exempt during the
strike
"There1l be no exemptions this
time" he replied.
Supported by CIO.
The AFL seamen, nearly 100 900
In number, have full support of an
estimated 100000 other waterfront
workers and the rival CIO National
Maritime Union.
President Truman has refused to
inervene in the strike. No statement
has come from the WSB since
its offer to consider rehearing"
the case at meeting next Tuesday.
Strikers leaders reiterated their
determination to stay out until the
WSB rescinded ruling which pared
down to $17.50 a month an employer
approved pay hike Of $22.50 on the
West Coast and $3.50 in the East.
The present pay scale is $145 q

The spokesmen declared those two

 NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-One team that is virtual cinch to be invited 10 the. National Invitational Bas- ketball Tourney in New York's Madison Square Garden is the West Virginia University quintet. Of the five major basketball teams still unbeaten, West Virginia has the best chance to complete per feet season. One reason for this is that West Virginia has a comparatively easy schedule. |. But the fact remains that it takes a pretty good quintet to win Il games in a row. And that's the current record of the Noun taineers. There are two reasons for the teams showing. One is a young fellow named Bobby Car roll, a nifty ball-handler who can puncture the hop from all angles. The other reason is the team s freshman coach, Lee Patton.
