Rich Alaska Trade Will Be Lost Unless Steamer
 Service Maintained

SEATTLE, June l. Shipping industrial and business circles ex- pressed a fear that Seattle might lose much of its rich Alaska trade unless adequate steamship service is maintained.
 For every two persons in Alaska, enc person in Seattle is supported by the Territory" one veteran ship ping man asserted. This is through shipping, longshoring, shipyards, the fishing industry and countless other supply outlets"
 Representatives of the various groups agreed that the future of the Seattle-Alaska commerce was at stake in shipping rate hearings conducted by the Maritime Com mission in Washington, D. C., last week and due to be resumed here end at Juneau this summer.
 Canada already is shipping but ter, eggs and other food products to Alaska said M. L. Davies, President of one of the city's larg- est produce houses. If Seattle for any reason finds itself unable to continue her steamship lines, the Canadians undoubtedly would be happy to move right in."
 Davies said Alaska was one of the most important customers for the Seattle produce industry.

 FOR NEW GAR
Relonversion Sci Back al Tremendous Cost by
 Coal, Other Strikes

WASHINGTON, June l. - That new car and new refrigerator are three months farther away from the average American family today, the government estimates, because of the soft coal tieup and other strikes.
 This report on the outlook was issued by John D. Small, Civilian Production Administrator, who re- gently urged that Congress prohibit strikes for six months to let re- conversion sprint instead of hobble.
 Despite reconversion's stop-and- go progress, Small's monthly pro- duction survey revealed, industry in April set new marks for con- sumner goods production = record highs for washing machines, mems suits, vacuum cleaners and electric irons, and postwar records for a dozen other scarce items.
 But this, he pointed out, occurred tl1COto VI tlAC OOctA oeA AhC were felt. That stoppage, he said, cost the country $2,0o0, 100000 worth of production and the economy will bear the scars for many months to come
 The pressure toward higher pric- es also was intensified by the coal shutdown, according to OPA Ad- ministrator Paul A. Porter, in an- other statement issued last night.
 It has delayed the time in a number of cases at which price ceilings can safely be removed '" Porter declared, and was "ex- tremely costly to the stabilization program"
 Even if strikes disappear quickly from the industrial picture, Small foresaw another check to produc- tion developing in the closing of the year when he said a severe" manpower shortage is likely.

The Atomic Age

But one turns from all popu-

the feeling that the time has not
yet come for the definitive vol
ume. Writers must still hold
themselves within fairly narrow
limits. Much of the most vital
information still Is restricted.
There Is bound to be a sameness
to all presentations for some time
to come, regardless of the scien-
tific and literary qualifications
OF the authors. The Smythe re-
port remains, as it is termed by
Potter, "the Bible" of the atomic
age up to now.

out under the Office Of Scientific
