 LAW SOUGHT
President Sends Spelia Message to Congress
 on Vital Subject

WARRINGTON, April 15.-CR- President Truman today proposed sweeping changes in this coun- trys neutrality law to permit the government to place embargoes on shipments of arms to unfriendly nations.
 In a message to Congress, the President said he must be free to "act in accordance with cur posi- ton in the United Nations
 Under Section 12 of the neutral ity act, Mir Truman pointed out, the requirement. of importantly forces the Secretary of State to "treat aggressor and aggrieved, peacemaker and troublemaker equally by granting every appli- cation for the license for the eX- portation of any arms, ammunition, or implements of war unless such action would be in violation of a treaty.
 such provision of law is no longer consistent with this coun- tiy's commitments and require meass, the Presidents message said.
 We have committed ourselves to international coope ration through the United Nations.
 If war should ever again become imminent, it would be intolerab.e to find ourselves in our present position of being bound by our own legislation to give aid ana support to any power which might later attack us
 He said the proposed legislation provides for export controls over Q) articles especially designed for or customariiy used only in the manufacture of arms, ammunition, and implements of war, ana S9 articles exported for use, directly or indirectly, by foreign military establishments
 The bill would authorize sup elvisicn of the exportation of arms, ammunition, implements of war and related commodities, and the importation of these articles. It also would provide for registra- tion of manufacturers exporters, importers, and dealers in munl- tions of war and provide means for giving the government more adeouate check in the international traffic in arms.

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Those who sat in on President Trumans highly secret meeting with the Cabinet and the Council of Economic Advis- CTS considered it one of the most important sessions in the history of the Truman Administration-or of any administration, for that matter. Never before had Presi- dent and his Cabinet come together with the nations outstanding econ omists to chart the economic future of the country before, not after, trouble starts.
 Inside fact. is that the 3-man Council of Economic Advisers gave the Cabinet gloomy report on the economic outlook of the nation.
 The President had invited the Council to familiarize his Cabinet members with the national price crisis, and they pulled no punches.
 Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, Chairman of the Council, did most of the talking.
 If something isn't done and done soon, we're riding for a fall.p he decla.ed bluntly. However. he didn't limit himself to the danger ous price situation, but gave a

 Presidential Secretary Charles G.. Ross emphasized that when report CTS questioned him at news con- ference about the furore raised ln Congress by the former Vice Presi- dents assertions that the United States is embarked on course of imperialism"
 One question was whether this government would notify the Bri- tish government that Wallace is speaking for himself"
 Ross replied:
 Tt is an obvious fact, is it not, that MT. Wallace is speaking as a private citizen? I have no comment Oii tiidl.
 Asked if it would be correct to assume that the U. s. government has taken no official notice of Wal lace's speeches, Ross said Of course it has taken no otfi- cial notice" He added that any official notice would be published The questioning started with a query as to whether President Tru- man has been asked, CT the White House asked, by Congress members to make some statement about Wallace.

 14 Years in Office, Juneau

A. B. Philips, tor IA years con- nected with the Juneau schools and for 13 years as superintendent, has resigned. He submitted his resigna- ton to the Juneau School Board on March 12, and at the meeting of the Board last night the resig- nation was accepted, effective at the close of school this year.
 MT Phillips owns his own home in Juneau and is taxpayer. He expects to remain here, although he is going to the States this sum- mer. When he returns in August or September Phillips expects to be able to anounce his future plans, which he hopes will afford him a chance to make a living so that he can support his family without leaving Juneau.
 He is leaving the teaching pro- fession permanently, although he says his veins are so full of years of school room chalk dust that he is not sure that he can stay out of it.
 A. B. Phillips left school once ! before, when he was l2 years old Born in Ilwaco, Washington, on September 19, 1895, A. B. was the i son of John William Phillips, a printer His father was editor and owner of the Ilwaco Tribune and other papers in that area. !

Working as engineer for the building of gov ernment project on the Columbia River, he was left without job when Congress failed to appropri- ate money to complete it. Working on paving crew in Corvallis, Oregon, after that, Phil lips was refused entry into Oregon Agricultural College, now oregon State, because he had not had a high school education.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April IS LR-Chicago manufacturer Mil ton Reynolds hurtled through the skies toward Edmonton, Alberta and the American mainland today on the next -the-last leg of his record-seeking roun d-t h e-world flight.
 The "Bombshell' plane took off from Adak in the outer Aleutians at 4:24 a. m. PSF this morning after an unscheduled stop.
 Reynolds listed Calgary, Alberta, and Great Falls, Mont, as alter mates stops.
 His flying time for the 15,2lO miles from New York was AZ hours, 13 minutes, an approximate speed of 308 miles an hour. His elapsed time was 62 hours, 13 min utes from his takeoff at 5:11 D. m. (EST) Saturday.
 At Edmonton, the Department of Transports Air Control office said it had heen informed the plane was expected to reach there about l2:54 D. m (2:54 p. m. EST).
 Anchorage reported light rain and a moderate fog, with overcast at 1900 feet at about the time the "Bombshell' was due over the AL aska coast on it's Adak- Edmonton hop, a distance of approximately 2,619 miles.
 Reynolds says the plane turned back after passing over Adak be- cause of heavy headwinds and be- cause the planes fuel supply was running low.
 Previous reports that he hao been forced to turn back because of mechanical difficulties" were unfounded, Reynolds informed Frank Lamb, director of the flight in New York by telephone.
 Edmonton is a little more than halfway along the 5000 mile route from Adak to New York. Reynolds said he expected to make the trip in approximately eight hours
 The manufacturer told Lamb he planned to be in New York about 8 p. m tonight
 Northwest Airlines said the plane landed at Adak at 1:25 a. m. this morning, hours and 1 minute after leaving Tokyo.
 The takeoff time gave the Bombshell an elapsed time of 6; hours, 13 minutes from it's take off at New York at 5:11 p. m EST Saturday.
 By these figures, the converted A-26 Douglas bomber must nego- tiate the remaining 5000 miles te New York in 29 hours, one minute to eclipse the present global recorc of 91 hours, IA minutes, set by Howard Hughes in 1888.
 Arriving in New York by p m. tonight as hoped by Reynolds he will have made the trip ir "A hours 49 minutes.

CITY PRISONERS AT
 WORK, VARIOUS JOBS

Mayor Waino E. Hendrickson re- vealed today that prisoners from the City Jail are being used for various odd jobs about the City. He said that this use of prisoners accomplishes two things: it gets the prisoners out of jail more quickly because they receive three days jail credit for each working day; the city gets a lot of much needed work accomplished; and, the city saves almost half the ex- pense of the upkeep for working prisoners by being able to release them earlier.

SEATTLE, April l5.-R-Diffi- culties faced by Alaska ship opera tors, which have contributed great ly to soaring transportation costs and interruptions of service, include dealing with 9 different unions whose contracts expire intermlt- tently from June to December, General Manager Lester w. Baker of the Alaska Steamship Co., said.
 He spoke at an opening session of of the two-day Pacific North west Trade Association conference.
 In addition to the large number of unions to deal with, the com panys vessels have been picketed by cannery workers unions ti.-ng up service, Baker said.
 We were just bystanders, but they picketed our ships and wouldn't let them sail
 We haven't printed a schedule in five years because we haven't known when a ship would sail. We just have to let the passengers call up from day to day and see when one is going out" he said.
 The antiquated terminal situation here also increases costs tremen- dously, with trucks lined up at times for several blocks and costs mounting during such delays. Dray age costs here are sometimes great CT than freight charges to Alaska, he said
 Pihering on Alaska ships is also the highest on any lines he knows, he said, probably induced by the example" of thousands and tens of thousands of dollars of govern ment money wasted in Alaska.
 The service also needs five or six new ships which would cost from four to five million dollars each, he added Before the war AL aska was served by B ships but now the number of passenger yes sells has been reduced to four.
 Dave Beck, International Vice President of the Teamsters Union, charged that Henry Wallace was close to treason in his remarks against the American foreign policy in England.

prisoners because as he put it,
flatly and scornfully, "they was
trying to break through a ring Of
guards" When he was asked if
the prisoners were armed, he re-
piled: eyes, they were brandish-
ing sticks, clubs and the ringlead-

He said that he fired into the
prisoners but didn't know whether
he had killed or wounded any of
them or not.
The government, through it's
representative, Green Everette
who summed up the case, tried to
show that the Staying Of the eight
Negro convicts was reprehensible
since theywere shot down in cold
blooded fashion almost in the
same positions where they were
unloaded in the stockade. Because
there had not been any evidence
to support the defendants, the
prisoners had been denied their
right to live, which violated their
civil liberties.
The verdict tookonly eight min

guards were free of all charges by
