BARKLEY PRESSES FOR
 PRICE CONTROL BILL

WASHINGTON - Undaunted by open talk of another veto, Demo- cratic Leader Barkley pressed the Senate this week for final action on a new OPA bill.
 Cheerful desyite rapid setbacks in the form of hands-off amendments, covering meats, milk butter, salad oils and gasoline, the Kentuckian told reporters he still is hopeful of getting a price control revival mea- sure that the President could sign. We got a better bill than either tEe Senate or House yassed last time from a conference, Barklcy said Maybe we can still improve on that this time"
 But another administration lieu tenant who may not be identified further said President Truman would balk again unless some way iz found to overturn Senate actions barring future price ceilings on many items important in the cost of living.
 Following nv it's 49 10 26 vote Tuesday to keep meat free of 0PA ceilings under any revival, the chamber voted these additional touch-not provisions this week
 1. Milk and all other dairy pro- ducts, an amendment sponsored by Senator Wherry (R-Neb.) and ap- proved 51 to 27
 2. Cottonseed, soy beans and their products, by Senator Eastland (D- Miss.) 42 to 34.
 3. Petroleum and it's products IS long as supply exceeds domestic de- mand, by Senator Moore (R-Okla) 40 to 39.
 The only administration victory during the two days of OPA malll- ing came when the chamber rejected 32 to 40 an amendment offered by Senator Reed (R-Kas.) to exempt grains and their by-products.

 Wrangell is the only town in Southeastern Alaska, on the regular steamer run, which has such valu- able and interesting Native arts and, after all, besides scenery, these are what tourists to the Territory are most interested in. Wrangell is the leading tourist-appeal town. Nc means should be spared to capital ize on and preserve it's Native at. fractions.

Interior Secretary Julius A. Krug plans to visit the Territory next month.

An official reception will be given by Governor Gruening during the Secretary's stay in Juneau.

 The so-called Russian iron cur tain about which so much is writ ten from the European theater also extends to Alaska. The Little Dio- mede Island off the Seward Penip- sula in Boring Straits is American. It's adjoining island, the Big Dio- mede, is Russian. The people of the two islands through the years have enjoyed free intercourse. Friends and relatives reside on both sides of the international line and they have travelled freely from one island to the other-on ice in winter, with kayak in summer. Recently the edict came out of the Soviet Union that there was to be no more traffic to 1 the Big Diomede. Persons on the l American Little Diomede can no longer travel back and forth to see their. friends on Russian Big Dio- mede, a distance of approximately l eight miles. The iron curtain" is down.

 1.-Two do4, +r,oa ,.o+od 1,,- 1o,,cr shOremen at Ketchikan and Juneau permitted unloading of vessels in those ports this week despite the fact that still no approval has been given by War Shipping Administra- tiOn and the Wage Stabilization Board to authorize ship operators to pay the agreed wage increase b $1.52 an hour straight time and $1.98 overtime. Ships were loaded with foodstuffs which were running low in both towns. Due to the work stOppage previous week much of the perishables were spoiled having to Dc thrown overboarrd. Merchants were taking the rap. Longshoreman said that three times they had been promised the pay increase would be forthcoming as agreed to last spring Eut nothing had happened. Ship op- orators as agents of War Shiping had to await word from that agency before meeting the increase. Truce was to end today and work would stop again unless authorization was forthcoming from Washington to the steamship companies to pay the wage increase. It was rank injustice so far as Alaska is concerned as the increase was being paid down the coast. Gov. Gruening, other officials and representatives of the commun- ities effected were putting on every pressure to try to get action but as this was written it hadn't been forthcoming. It was only after ap- peal by the Governor that the long shoremen finally voted the truce So that ships in ports could be unload ed.

 Canadian vessels were still hav- ing their troubles in Juneau. Water front workers had asked for a con- tract, the same as with American lines. CPR doesn't sign contracts ill foreign ports, but pays the scale of whatever port where it's vessels call Longshoremen were refusing to handle anything but mail. Passen gers could only take hand baggage. Meanwhile, Steve Glumaz, CIO head in Seattle, and CPR officials in Vic toria were fighting it out. There was real danger that Juneau might ultimately be by-passed by CPR

-IGGE2 SALMON FREIGHT RATES ASKED INSTEAD
 OF GENERAL, INCREASE

Ut GENERAL INCREASE
 VA HiNGTON= Alaska this week informed the Maritime Commission that freight rates on canned salmon should be increased but Alaska steamship lines ought to be refused q general rate increase. David E. Scoll counsel for the Al- aska Development Board and Ralph Rivers. Attorney General of the Ter ritory filed a brief following re- cent hearings here on proposals of War Shipping Administration to in crease Alaskan rates
 The steamship lines presented les. timony that an increase of about GS per cent would be needed to give them a profit under present condi-I tions.
 They said they did not want the VISA to return their steamers until the rate question was settled. If. they were returned before that. they said, they would not operate the lines at present rates.
 Scoll and Rivers say in their brief ] that the canned salmon rate should 1 be equaEzed with rates on other freight and said the southbouud . rate on salmon is too low.
 Industry Can Pay
 "The record proves that canned . salmon can and should bear some of l the extra cost of serving ports, which is higher than the cost of serving the principal Alaska ports,' the brief says. There is no question of ability to pay more
 The brief contends that if aXtra revenue has to be raised il should l. be raised on salmon rather than oa q general rate increase.
 Scoll and Rivers argue the Com mission should define the nature of Alaska's shipping need, which will enable Congress and the Alaska to approve remedial measures
 Carriers Have Cash
 They contend that vessels now Ob- erated on the Alaska run should be replaced, saying 10 vessels operated by three lines average from 19 years to 76 years old and new vessels would permit more economical oper- ation.
 They further contend that aot- the claim of the car riers that they cannot and will not l resume operation under eXistins rates. their balance sheets showed q capital surplus at the end of l945.
 "The concensus of the parties lfa the casel is that special legislation is required to provide Alaska with adeouate water transportation = reasonable rates and charges, in or der to secure a permanent solutl2i .f this problem,r the brief conttnH. es.
 However. before any such pro gram for a permanent solution ol Alaskan shipping needs can be req " effective 4 more careful analysis If the rates applicable to various commodities and classes of trallic -,ust he made than was in this pro eeeding.

Not A Negro, Then
You Don't Know

CHICAGO-(ANP)-"No aver
age American white person can
ever know what they would do if
they were a Negro"
That blunt declaration comes
from Henrietta Buckmaster, noted
author of deep River" and LET
My People Co."
Miss Buckmaster writing on the
subject, IF / We're A Negro" in
the February Digest, declares:
Deep Presumption
"There is a peculiar and deep
presumption in any white person
saying whatahe would do if he were
a Negro. He does not know what
he would do any more than he
knows what he would do if he fell
under a train and lost his leg, or
drifted for 40 days in an open boat.
He might plan; he might be quite
loquacious on the subject, but he,
would not know.
"No average American white
person has been prepared to face
the heavy closed door of segrega-
ton. And segregation is; to my
way of thinking, the one word that
sums up the entire sociological, eco
nomic and psychic problem of the
Negro"
