Forest Flies ond Runoff. Only Z
few weeks ago, an epidemic Of fires

in the hillsides. The overflow waters
carried off ploughed ground, dug
ponds in fields, made gullies of road
side bitches, spread sand over fertile
land, piled more rubbish on the
drifts. Forest fires are a serious evil.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-R- Ray Sawyer, National Commander of the Amvets, said today that what he called the failure of the Army to improve military justice has made it virtually impossible to obtain congressional approval of a universal military training program.
 '"The high command, Sawyer said in a statement, lis still prone to protect and whitewash fellow brass hats while GI's-tile men in the ranks-are subjected to an au- tocratic system of regulations, government and punishment
 The veterans organization head ed by Sawyer has endorsed pas sage of universal training legisla- tion. Sawyer said the Amvets have concluded, however. that Tt is virtually impossible to sell it to Congress until important changes are made in the conduct of the military itself"
 Tt is time" he added, for the bass hats to determine whether they want to continue with pomp and circumstance or whether they want UNIT"

DEATH OF LEMKE MEASURE IS FORECAST
Freiqht Moves in Fast Time Olive Days from Seattle 10
 Fairbanks Via haines Cutoff

SEATTLE, Sept. l1.-lR-A suc- cessful trial run of freight from Seattle to Fairbanks via the Haines cutoff highway, in the fast time of five days. was reported today by an official of the Alaska Trans portation Company.
 Traffic Manager E. w. Hundley said he was informed that the food shipment of 80 measurement tons reached Fairbanks in less than half the time by the usual shipping route. It left here last Thursday and arrived on Tuesday.
 The cargo, consigned to the Army at Fairbanks, moved to Haines on the freighter Grommet Reefer and was carried from there in refrig- erated trucks to Fairbanks, over the highway, which joins the Alaska Highway in Canadian territory.
 The freighters run to Haines took four days. The cargo was then unloaded from the ship onto trucks at the dock, and they start ed out immediately.
 The trial cargo was half perish able vegetables and half frozen meat, Hundley said. The run was jointly by the shipping firm and the auto freight line, with cooperation of United States and Canadian military authorities.
 Hundley said the shipment is ex- pected to be the forerunner of "a steady flow over the route.
 ''The Haines cutoff is. in good shape he said, and it is hoped it will remain in such condition throughout the winter"
 It is 680 miles from Haines to Fairbanks. The cut-off covers 160 miNs of the distance.

AFL -C|0 MERGER |5
 UP IN AIR
Another Atfemp pt to Be Made at Consolidation
 Green for Reelection

CHICAGO, Sept. 1l.-IR-AFL leaders indicated today they would make one more try at bringing about merger with the CIO but they held out little hope it would lEe successful.
 President William Green said the 15-man executive council, meeting here, would make another state ment on the negotiations toward unity which began last winter.
 Green said that both the AFL and CIO had agreed to work for organic unity when committees for the two organizations met in May. However, the AFL wanted immediate merger on its terms, while the CIO preferred to develop details slowly, while working to- gether for common goals.
 The 74-year-old AFL President has kept quiet about his plans for continuing in office, but the word is getting around among Council members that he wants to be re- elected at the San Francisco con- vention, beginning October 6.
 Green has been President of the AFL since the death of Samuel Gompers in 1924. A former sec retary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, he was John L. Lewis candidate for the post, and was instrumental in getting Lewis to bring the miners union back to the AFL in January, 1946.
 Green and Lewis were at. odds for 10 years after the United Mine Workers chief organized the CIO and led the exodus of industrial unions from the craft-loving AFL Later Lewis withdrew from the CIO which he founded, and now he is back on the influential AFL executive council, in position to help dictate AFL policy. Daniel J. Tobin of the Team sters and William L. Hutcheson of the Carpenters, who with Lewis make up the Big Three in the council, also have endorsed Green for another term in the presidency if he wants it.
