Congress Will Investigate Alaska Shipping Rates

WASHINGTON, (P)-Chairman Weichel R.-Ohio) of the House merchant marine fisheries com mittee announced today he has appointed a special committee to investigate the maritime commis- sion's handling the the Alaskan shipping situation and shipping relief requested by Alaskans.
 Weichel included in his Con- gressional record announcement an attack on the recent interim agreement between the commits sion and three Seattle shipping firms providing for 15-month steamship service to Alaska with the government furnishing the necessary ships at nominal charter hire.
 This statement, a review of the situation prepared by Alaskans. said the recent rate increase granted the Alaskan lines would increase charges on freight 66 per cent and for passengers 22 per cent.
 "The maritime commission, ad- vised by make-believe experts, is the classical example of mishand- ling government money" Weichel said. "As disclosed by the appro- priations committee and the comp troller general in the past few days the maritime commission again demonstrated what not to do with Alaskans, according to statement from the good people of Alaska"
 Weichel named on the inveSti- gating committee Reps. Allen R.- Calif0, Bradley R.-Calif0, Tol- lefson R.-Wash), Jackson O. WashD, and Havenner D.-CalifJ, with Allen as chairman.

LAKE SUCCESS, (P - Britain told the United Nations today that they might as we'll tear up the charter-and pack up" if they could not settle the Balkans trou- bic as recommended by the United States.
 Sir Alexander Cadogan, British delegate, lining up solidly with the United States proposal for a commission to watch the Balkans indefinitely, said in a statement to the security council:
 If we cannot apply proposals such as those submitted by the commission (the Balkan investiga- ton commisSion and now in the United States resolution, we had better tear up the charter-and pack up"
 Cadogan referred to the recom- mendationS by the Investigating group and the United States pro- posal for the security council to set up a commission to remain in- definitely in the Balkans and try to smooth the differences in that unsettled zone.
 ''It seems to me that here we have a danger point" Cadogan continued. "It is just such a case as the United Nations was design ed to meet. We have practical pro- posals, which can perhaps be per- fected and elaborated. We must try them.

Coal Miners Get Big Increase

WASHINGTON, (P) John L.. Lewis was reported today to have won from major soft coal produc- CTS the biggest concessions in mine union history for his workers.
 The agreement, which now is being put into contract form for ratification by northern commer- cial bituminous operators and steel company interests, was re- ported to include:
 l. A 4415 cents an hour increase in the basic pay rate;
 ?. A fermentation royalty levy for his union welfare fund-dou- ble the amount provided in his contract during government oper- ation of the mines which ended Monday.
 Soft coal operators of the mid west, far west and south are studying terms of the agreement. Whether the nations mines will return to full scale production next Tuesday apparently depends upon their acceptance of the pro- visions. The mines are now out on a 10-day vacation.
 The united mine workers 200 man policy committee will meet here Saturday to pass on the pro- posed contract with the northern operators and big steel companies, which operate by the mines feed ing coal directly to their plants.

Bartlett Urges Quick Action On Sale Of Timber
tBy Charles D. Watkins)

0P) Special Washington Service) WASHINGTON, (P) Delegate Bartlett of Alaska urged today that quick action be taken on the question of sale of timber in the Tongass national forest of Alaska to paper mill companies.
 He said in a statement that de- lay might lose to the Territory the chance to get the industry estab- lished.
 Bartlett said Indian leaders from Alaska, their counsel and officials of the forest service and the interior department are trying to reach an agreement concerning the Indian claims that they own much of the land involved.
 Legislation permitting the forest service to sell stumpage rights to approximately 16,O00,OOO acres of land to paper companies to estab- fish five paper mills costing ESQ., O00,OO0 each now is pending be- fore Congress.
 It provides that the receipts from the timber sales be held in the treasury until the rights of the Indians have been determined.
 The counsel for the Indians op- posed the legislation on the grounds that it would take the property of the Indians without their consent, he said it constitut- ed condemnation of the land for use by private company, which he asserted is prohibited by law. He urged that the Indians. be given patents to areas the interi- or department has found rightful- ly theirs and be permitted to sell the timber to the paper compan- ies.
 Forest service officials contend this would create an impossible administrative situation and that the paper companies will drop all negotiations if they have to deal with the Indians.
 Bartlett said it had become ap- parent that any bill aimed at

Portland flash-and the rugged
number, Sato. put the Merchants
practically out of championship
consideration. Only the spirited
efforts of Joe Full, Terry Kuri-
mura, Edo Sasaki and Joshua Ha-
ia kept alive the Merchants hopes
which were shaken to the very
roots as the druggists pounded
the hoop and as Manabu Fuiino,
rangy South End pivot man, once
more watched helplessly from the
sidelines with an infected foot
Throughout the battle, the Mer-
chants suffered from a bad case
of jitters. Although they held a
1918 lead at half time, they were
unable to cope with the Wong
Heymoto-Sato combination which
continually ripped their defense.
