Seantn'S Strike SpItading;|
May Involve Half Million Men,
UniOnHcadS Estimated TODAY
TRUCK DRIVERS IN NEWS
JERSEY JOIN STRIKE
BEGUN BY NEW YORK
TRUCKMEN

WASHINGTON, Sept. s..
Strikes and threatened strikes
are reported today throughout
the country.
The strike of truck drivers in
New York has spread to New
Jersey, bringing the total of driv-
ers who have quit their jobs to
10000.
But a strike aof seamen, now
underway, threatens to spread
from coast to coast and involve
half million men. Forty-three
thousand walked off ships in the
New York area this morning, and
reports from Pacific ports stated
that seamen are preparing to-
leave their posts in that area.
In Baltimore, seamen on from
80 to 40 ships refused to 60 to
work today.
Cause of the strike is the ruiz
ing of the War LABOR Board
which refused to approve con-
tract between seamen's unions
and their employers.
Union leaders declared that if
the board does not revoke its
ruling, ships will be tied up in
every port in the United States.

Black NaTkttG6rS Reported Ready
To Supply Illegally Priced Meats
When Ceilings Return On Sept. 9
so ANNOUNCED OPA
TO-DAY ADDING IT rs
PREPARED TO MAKE
ARRESTS
tBy Associated Preas)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-OPA
reported today that preparations
have been made to put large sup
plies of black market meat in
stores throughout the country
when the ceilings on meat be-
come effective on September q
Spokesman for OPA said that
its representatives are keeping
close watch on the black mar
keteers and added that arrests
will be made in every instance
where attempts are made to dis
tribute the meats.
1t was reported that there are
large supplies of meats in the
United States, but that attempts
will be made to withdraw much
of it from the legitimate market
when the ceilings are re-estab-
lished.
At present supplies are large
in most sections in the United
States, though shortages are re-
ported in some areas. Reason for
the available meats at present is
because they may be sold for
whatever price obtainable. The
practice, it was pointed out,
makes the black market impra-
ticable.
But the black marketeers will
attempt to offer theN meats as
soon as the ceilings Become eff
fective.

Mrs. W. G. Harvey
Resigns From City
Service Board Here

Mrs. WilhelInina G.. Harvey to-
day sent a letter to the Key West
City Commissioners advising
them of her resignation from the
Civil Service Board.
Two other members of the
three-member board, Ralph Ser
ra and jeff knight, jr., sent in
their designations earlier in the
week.
In her letter to the Commits
sioners Mrs. Harvey said that
frequent trips to Miami special
ist for medical attention for an
immediate member of her FAM
lily precluded her from devoting
sufficient time to the Civil Serv-
ice Board, since the trips are al
ways scheduled for Saturdays,
the day usually set aside for
Civil Service Board matters.
Votes of Confidence
MANY persons have APP
preached me ii1aploring me to re-
consider my resignation and re-
questing me to prevail upon Mr..
Knight and Mr.. Sierra to remain
on the Board as they have such
a vast knowledge of personnel
and civil service procedures from
which to draw Mrs. Harvey
stated. Some persons who signed
the petition which was CIRCULATED
stated that they signed the pc
tition in Mr.. Kings behalf and
not with the intent of reflecting
on the decisions handed down by
the Civil Service Board. / ac-
tually feel that these persons
are sincere" the letter goes on,
and are not committing them
selves in an effort to persuade
the Board members to remain.
These votes of confidence are in
spring. However, it Isl believed
that the selection of three other
citizens would beSmore conducive
to recognition. by the, citizens of
Key West, of the accomplish
Inents of the City Commission
ers.

A SHAMEFUL BETRAYAL

THE United States government does less than its utmost to prevent the planned murder of General Draja Mihalovic by Titos Communists it will have committed act of betrayal that the American people will remember forever
 General Mihailovc, minister of Yugoslavia, valianty resisted the advance of the German armies across his country .... .
 When the hopeless fight was lost he refused to give up but organized the brilliant end tremendously effective underground army, which harried the Ger boldly and effectively that many divisions of Nazi troops were kept from other fronts.
 Among the feats for which Americans are and should be most grateful to him his of 800 American airmen forced down in Yugoslavia in raids on Romanian and Bulgarian oil fields
 So highly did the American government value the bravery and military effectiveness of Mhailovics patriot army that American missions were secretly sent into Yugosavia to cooperate with it.
 General Mhailovic friend and ally
 But when Soviet Russia set about infiltrating and undermining Yugoslavia the United States government withdrew it's support from Mhailovc and gave it to the Communist puppet, Tito
The Nome nugget., 1946-06-03

Now Tito's relentless agents have hunted Mihail- ovic down and Tto's spokesmen have announced, be- fore any trial has been held that he certainly will be shot"
 Mihailovc's only defense is that he resisted Com munst Russia in defense of his countrys freedom In abandoning him to support the despoilers of his countrys freedom the American government com mitted sufficiently shameful act of betrayal.
 If it now permits him to be murdered by his Con- munst enemies the shame will be eternal.

PROGRESS IN JAPAN

O UCCESS OF THE American occupation of Japan exceeds expectations
 Almost all officials and correspondents who have had chance to compare at first hand the situations in Germany and Japan comment more favOrably achievements in Japan The fact that there is unified command in Tokyo, contrasted with the four-Way split in Berlin is the only reason, but certainly it is major factor.
 The Allied Far Eastern Commission has just turned to Washington from it's trip of investigation Though it's formal report is not completed, it's general reaction is indicated by this statement: "The commits sion has been impressed with the satesmanship of the supreme commander General MacArthur and his staff.
 The latest report by MacArthur's headquarters finds the Japanese peoples response to the demlitariz ation and characterization program encouraging.
 That program goes beyond the more obvious moves, such disarmament arrest of criminals, dis solution of the secret societies, elimination of the Ges- tapotype police system breakup of the Ziabatsu opoies and withdrawal of state support from Shinto The program also is trying to stir democratic spirit among the people, from the bottom upward
 As result, the Jap press, radio and schools de- veloping more freedom. Labor unions function ing. Women's movement is attacking the traditional determinations. Youth organizations especially ong the liberal students flourishing.
 But itwould be calanitous for us to mistake these faint beginnings for anything than that. We must be able to recognize and encourage this change without forgetting that it is very slow process, at hest
