A strict house curfew is in effect in two suburbs of Jerusalem and two Jewish settlements at the bor- ders of the city. British military authorities ordered the curfew at dawn today following an explosion of mine which killed two soldiers and wounded three other occupants of an Army truck. Three hours af- ter the curfew was imposed, off, cers announced the finding of 84 charges of explosives, small guns and quantities of ammunition in private homes. No arrests were made.
 Meanwhile, the discovery of five unexploded mines was looked on as possible attempt on the lives of the British High Commissioner and other officials. The mines were un- covered on the road to the Govern ment House where last night the Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sir Alan Cunningham, was host at a reception.
 Earlier, one person was wounded in the explosion of mine in the Arab quarter of Jerusalem, and unexploded mines were found else where in the Arab district. There also was an unsuccessful attempt to dynamite a troop train north of Tel Aviv.

 AGREEMENT
CI0 Engineers Stand On Demands, Say No Separ-
 afe Peace, East Coast

WASHINGTCi;, Oct. g. = GIG marine engineers stood pat today on their demand for a national contract or at least a commitment from the Maritime Commission that terms of any east coast ship strike settlement will apply on government vessels in the Pacific.
 The other striking union, the AFL masters, mates and pilots agreed yesterday to try for an east ern agreement and leave the mak- ing of a west coast contract tc negotiators on the Pacific coast
 Capt. c. F. May, the deck off cers' Pacific coast leader, left the Washington negotiations and re- leased his associate, Capt. Harry Martin, president of the AFL-MNdP to negotiate for an Atlantic ano Gulf agreement. Strides in that direction were made yesterday by Martin and east coast operators.
 The engineers, however, were not Judging as negotiations were re- stunned today and spokesman said the Maritime Commission would have to give in if the strike were to be settled.
 This union representative said the Maritime Commission a week ago agreed to apply on all it's ships whatever settlement is reached here, but later withdrew the agree ment.
 A Commission representative has insisted that failure of the unions to call the strike week ago re- lieved the Commission from going through with this commitment.

 AT NFFE MEETING
Urge AIaskans Get Behind Statehood Issue and
 Fight For If

Three high ranking officials Governor of Alaska, Delegate E. L. Bartlett and Irwin Silverman, Chief Council of Territorial and Island Possessions, Department of Interior this noon spoke briefly on Statehood for Alaska before members of the National Federation of Federal Elm ployees, at that organizations reg ular luncheon meeting in the Baranof.
 Delegate Bartlett, introduced by Miss Katherine Alexander, Gov ernor's Secretary, as Bob Have You Had Enough" Baretlett, said: Tt is my contention that Statehood will not eliminate single Federal Bur eau branch in Alaska, but will strengthen many of them instead He said plans in Washington were underway toward maintaining Federal employees in Alaska aftel the eventuality of Statehood.
 Expressing his hope that ht would be the last elected delegate ever to serve for Alaska" Delegate Bartlett urged the Territory's citi- zens and organizations such as the NFFE to "get behind this issue and fight for it."
 He said with an election that so far indicated strongly fav- orable vote for statehood, Alaska "has only made the first step tow ard her freedom. Putting this over will require adoption of resolu- tions, letters written to Congress and strong active pressure for many months to come"
 The Governor seconded" Bart let's comments and added that statehood is the only solution tc our problems. The difficulties such a mode of government would pre- sent to us will in no way approach the seriousness and Suffocating qualities of those under Territorial ism"
 The Governor said that with rep resentation in Congress Alaska could actually get underway tow ard becoming a progressive coun- try
 Tt will take work" he added there will naturally be protests and possibly some negative actions tut hard work and strong convic- tions can overcome these. We all know that nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished without concen- trated effort. and it will be so with Statehood for Alaska
 Introduced by Bartlett as the le- gal drafter of many Alaskan bills written by the Territory's dele gate, MT. Silverman talked briefly

on Washington's attitude toward statehood for Alaska He said speaking for Secretary of Interior Julius Krug he could say i've would be very glad to see the Governor as the last appointed governor of Alaska and Bob Bartlett, the last delegate"
 He mentioned that Hawaii, with it's popuiation 85 percent in favor of statehood, would begin a pres sure campaign" January l in an all-out attempt to become the 18th state, but said he agreed with Bartlett that Alaska could well be- come the 50th state if she exerted definite effort toward that end.

giola Ferriss and H. Wagner.
 Fourth game in Boston tomorrow.
 F'ENWAY PARK, Boston, Oct. g.
 Rudy York's tremendous 400-foot f.cnie run the first inning with two nasn on base, helped Dave Ferriss earn 40 victory today that put the Boston Red Sox out in front of the St. Louis Cardinals, two games to one in the world series.
 The capacity crowd of 34,500, which paid $140,45l, thrilled to a fine pitching job by Ferriss.
 Only in the ninth when Stan Musial unloaded long triple that hit the center field wall on one bounce did the National League champions show a potent punch There were two out and Ferriss struck out Slaughter to end the game.
 Ted Williams foiled the Dyer shit" by dumping a bunt single past third base in the third inning after he had been walked inten- Cionally in the first inning. He had neen criticized for failing to bunt in the first two games.
 After that when Williams came up, the Cardinals pulled a half way variation in which Whitey kurowsKi remained on third base and Marty Marion moved over di- rectly behind second. Red Schoen- dienst still played a normal first base and Stan Musial was right on the foul line with the outfield pulled around to right.
 Williams drove Slaughter way lack to the barrier with a long liner in the eighth but it was just another out. His only hit was the bunt as he struck out once, flied out once and walked in the other trips
 York scored the fourth Boston run in the eighth after singling after Williams lined out. Ted Wilks, who won eight games without de- feat during the regular season had taken the mound for St. Louis at the start of the inning.
 York went to rnIrd on Bobby Doerr's double high off the left center fence and, with two out. scored when second baseman Schoendienst fumbled H. Wagners easy roller for the first Cardinal error of the series.

REPUBLICANS
 SURPRISE BY
 LARGE GAINS
Labor Office, One Senate, One House Seat Are
 Holly Contested

Fears that Southeast Alaska might be anti statehood have been proven groundless.
 Alaskas First Judicial Division apparently has put it's OK upon Alaska statehood now-the state hood referendum question drawing a slightly less than two to one favoring vote at yesterdays gen. eral election
 TighteSt contests in the First Di- vision were in the Territory wide race for Labor Commissioner and in the run for the eighth open seat in the House of the Legislature. Complete unofficial returns from 31 of Southeast Alaska's 53 precincts with Ketchikan's First Precinct missing-show incumbent Demo- cratic Labor Commissioner Walter P. Sharpe leading Republican Henry Benson by a mere three votes, with the third candidate, In- dependent Ross E. Kimball, out of the running.
 Republican Frank Price and Democratic Legislator Chris Hen- nings are wing for the last va cant House seat and have equal votes. Also in contention for the eighth place in the House are Democrats Joe Krause and John Smith Leading House candidates, in order, are James Nolan, Steve Vukovich, Mrs. Elton Engstrom, Anita Garnick, G. E. Almquist, Harry Newell and Andrew Hope. All appear assured of seats. If Price were to capture the eighth place, the Republican party would have an equal division of First Di- vision House places in the next Legislature for the first time since the Democrats moved into power in 1892.
 A Republican surge is evidenced also in Dr. L. P. Dawes position as leading Senate contestant. Dr. Dawes leads his nearest competitor by more than 500 votes and is sure of election. Democrats Frank Pera- trovich and Andrew Gunderson are heatedly contesting the second Sen- ate vacancy.
 Delegate to Congress E. L. (Bob) Bartlett has steadily piled up a more than two-to-one lead for re- election over Republican Amer J. Peterson but Treasurer Oscar G. Olson is closely pressed by GOPer Cash Cole.
 The second question referred to the people by the Legislature, pro- posed adoption of the Blanket Pri- mary Ballot system, has won First Division favor by the widest edge recorded in yesterdays general election. Favoring votes override those opposed by near four-to-one count. Only one Southeast Alaska precinct has so. far gone on record against adoption of the Blanket Primary
 Major precincts still to be return ed include the large First Precinct of Ketchikan, Hoonah, Hydaburg, Rake and Klawock. Voting yes- terday throughout the First Divis- ion was heavy.
