occurring at Seward where three orewmen were apprehanded with pilfered cargo in their possession and were prosecuted before a U, s Commission. Published reports gave $50 each as the fine imposed against the three. Baker said but added that he had heard from other sources that the fine was only S9 each. Later at Seattle, Ee continued, the crew of the ship, at the instigation of the Alaska Rail- road, was interrogated by man from the "Pilfering Department of the VISA. Te investigator was able to learn nothing. The matter was then taken to the Coast Guard, which refused to revoke the trio's certificates on the ground that the men already had been tried and punished. Baker declared he then gave orders to the Alaska Lines personnel office not to hire the three men concerned for any furth- CT sailings.
 Union Threat
 The union, Baker alleged, inn mediately came back with the threat that unless the three were rehired, no crews would be furn- ished to any ships. They're work ing he concluded.
 And, the situation is going to get worse" Baker flatly stated He citsd that 32 watchmen on the company's two docks at Seattle men who should be responsible solely to the company-are now en- rolled into a CIO union As CIO watchmen they are now watching" CIO longshoremen What is to be expected?
 Baker repeated a conversation with the VISA Labor Relations Manager in which the latter dis closed that he had been told by three CIO dock Watchmen at San Francisco that they would not ap- prehend a CIO longshoreman if they should see him pilfering- that it's mot their job
 Subsidy Question
 Determined questioning of MT. Skinner by Subcommittee Chair man Henry M. Jackson D-WashD was pointed at determining if 50 percent new construction subsidy such as that given to regularly sub sidized lines would enable the Alaska Steamship Company to put new, modern, efficient ships into operation on Alaska routes without increase in present rates. After some sparring, Skinner stated it would not and finally set an 80 percent cost differential as neces- sary to avoid rate increase.

ATCO Manager Swanson esti- mated the cost of labor tie-ups in the Alaska service at one and one-half million dollars a year, al the present occurrence. He oppos- : ed subsidy except as a last re- sort, declaring labor leaders would use it for a reason for further ag- gravations, as costs would come out of the subsidy. He suggested that it would help to divert military car go to commercial bottoms.
 Others who testified during the morning session yesterday besides Banfield and Rivers, were:
 Henry Clark, Alaska Develop ment Board General Manager, who recited the shipping cost factor in calculations of new industries con sidering Alaska establishment; Will fred Stump, for the Ketchikar Chamber of Commerce; Jack Fletcher for the Juneau Chamber Jess Ballard fer the Petersburg co; Norman StlneS, FalrbankS co, A i Anderson, Alaska Miners Associa- tion; and Homer Garvin, Juneau Merchants Association.
 1 Stump and Ballard both brought out diversion of fish catches tc Prince Rupert and Seattle because of freight tariff increases, result ing in lower prices at cold storage facilities in their cities.
 | Garvin produced invoices showing relative costs of goods and ship ping and handling charges. Of pc culiar point was an invoice show ing $27 charged as trucker standby time for six hours to deliver $9.9( worth of goods to the dock al

T0WNSPEOPLE ASKED
 TO COOPERATE IN HUNT
 FOR RADIO INTERFERENCE

The City Light Department, m der direction of Ralph Deyenny. light plant superintendent. h.s been putting on an extended and careful search the last few weeks for radio interference.
 Many complaints have been lodged with the City by listeners who report being unable to get TO. ception because of various noises which interfere. Mr. Deyenny re- ports that many cases have been cleared up but there are still some that bother. He asks that anyone having any electrical devices in their homes, which they know are causing interference. report it to the City Hall and the matter will be investigated lnterferences al be caused by Neon lights. stove motors, florescent lights, electric heaters, etc. Residents can test their own equipment by turning off any equipment they might sus- pect causing trouble while their radio is on and see if reception s improved. If a piece of equipment bothers your own radio, MT. Deyeu- ny said, it bothers that of your neighbors, perhaps for blocks Q round. as well.
 It was hoped with the win. 1T program season coming up with s football games and top musical ald entertainment programs com ing up that all residents would make concerted effort to help improve radio reception and coop crate to the fullest.

ant that all of our youngsters have better opportunities for ed ucation than did their parents be- fore them. While regrettably a great many youngsters do not al ways complete high school, which is the very least they should all do, an even smaller number go be- yond high school. l believe far larger proportion of Alaskan youngsters should have an oppor- tunity for higher education. They should, if they desire it, get the u aiming necessary to practice d profession. They should be given the training and education neces- sary to enable them to become teachers, engineers. architects, lawyers, doctors.
 It is regrettably a fact that only a very minute proportion of the native people and a rather small rroportion of all our pc 0le have had the opportunity for higher ed ucation.
 Now the Federal Government, in it's veterans Legislation, which is popularly known as the CT Bill of Rights, made special provision for the veterans who wanted to con tinue their studies. It provided that they should get their tuition, books, etc., free and in addition to be paid while they were taking these studies, $55 month if sim gle and $90 if married. And so many young boys have taken a1- vantage of these opportunities that our colleges and universities are filled to over flowing and are turn ing away thousands of eager and ambitious veterans.
 Such is the situation in Alaska too. The University of Alaska at airbanks cannot accommodate all the ex-GIs who want to take ad- vantage of these educational pro- visions. It will be necessary at the next Legislature, if Alaska is to fulfill it's obligation to it's veter- ans in the educational field, to ex- pand the facilities of the Univers- ity substantially.
 It is also to be hoped that we shall have as soon as possible a southern branch of the University which will take particular care of the boys and girls of Southeastern Alaska. A southern branch, more over, will be in a better position to teach certain subjects of partic-
