SEATTLE, Aug. 1o4Al-Suit for S3. .926,O25 was filed in Federal Court Saturday for the big canned salmon cargo lost when the motor ship Diamond Knot sank after a collision with the steamship Fenn Victory in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
 The action was brought by six companies, owners of the cargo, against the United States Govern ment. The Government was named defendant because the Fenn Vic tory, operated by the American Hawaiian Steamship Co.,, is owned by the Maritime Commission. The Diamond Knott had 10o,946 eases of salmon aboard
 A S2,500,000 libel action for loss of cargo was also filed in San F'rancscc against the American Hawaiian Steamship Company by Libby McNeill & Libby, owners of part of the salmon cargo. The firm also filed in the action here.

JUNEAU CHAMBER

 PRES. TRUMAN
Local Chamber of Com merle Asks Truman fo
 Intervene in Strike

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce l.ls today asked President Truman to intervene in the strike of Alaska longshoremen. In a telegram, the Juneau Chamber yesterday asked the President to name fact-finding board to in vestigate the facts of the case.
 The Chamber told the Presi- dent that the strike does not in yolve wages or working conditions and that it is seriously crippling the industry and living conditions of the Territory. The Chamber eX- pressed the belief that a hack-to- woBf request from the President would get results
 The Chambers complete mes sage was as follows:
 The President,
 White House,
 Washington, D. c.
 All shipments of freight into and from Alaska have been sus- pended over two weeks because ot Longshoremen's strike which does not involve wages or work condi- tions. Industries of Territory are being vitally affected with result ing unemployment. Construction work on defense projects, roads housing and industrial develop ment is slowed down and many projects must suspend entirely with resulting failure of ccmple- tion before winter. Many isolated communities cannot get winter supplies and canned salmon pack must be moved before damage from freezing in unheated can nery buildings. Serious consequence will result if Alaska is cut oil from supplies like it was last win ter for three months, especially at this time of year. You are urgently requested to appoint fact finding commission to investigate facts and cause of this strike ano to request longshoremens union tc return to work until you receive report from commission. We recommend commission with qual- ifications of board which investi- gater shipping rates for Maritime Commission last year. We have good reasons to believe back-to-

BACKWARDS RIDE IS RECOMMENDED
 FOR AIR TRAVEL
Special Panel Also Propos. es Banning Ill Fire
 Equipped Ports

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18-iR- President Truman's Air Safety Board wants intensive study to be given the idea of having all airline passengers ride backwards.
 In it's fifth report since a series of crashes in May and June led to it's creation, the special panel ob- served that "on the surface it seems much can be said: for facing seats toward the rear of planes.
 Among other points of the week end report, the Board:
 Recommended that Civil Aeron- autics Board authorize the Civil Aeronautics Administrator to bar commercial planes from airports lacking adequate fire fighting equipment CT plans to provide it.
 Urged a swift hearing and de- cisicn by the CAB on whether an extra member should be added to the crew of four engine plane to handle flight details.
 Proposed that by next July l, all pilots and co-pilots be required to wear shoulder harness as an ex- tra precaution in event of crashes.
 The shoulder harness and the backwards-riding would both be med at combating the same haz- ard-injuries from being thrown violently forward when a plane has an accident
 The safety strap in present use checks the tendency of the passen- gers body to keep moving forward when the plane itself stops sud- denly
 But the theory is that if the seat was Backward the check would bt distributed more widely over the body and the passenger could with stand better the shock of the sud l den stop.
