SHIP AH0Y!

Come on Juneau, how about an all-out effort!
 One thousand, two hundred en- listed navy personnel will be in town over the weekend. Six hun dred will arrive this evening aboard four USN submarines and one sub tender. Six hundred more will be here Saturday morning aboard the Royal Navy cruiser Kenya.
 These men will soon exhaust the usual tourist entertainment possi- bilities. Ii each family in Juneau would plan to include one of these men in their regular schedule supper at home, movie, hike, a picnic, trip to one of our scenic spots, fishing, an afternoon out the road-the men will leave with pleasant memory of their visit and new friendships will have been formed
 Dances for the enlisted men, as well as the officers, are on the program. The ships will cooperate in every way possible. Dances have been planned for the enlisted men for Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. It is hoped that at least one senior and one junior wonen's group will serve as hos teSses.
 Other activities are on the sched- ule. Church organizations hope to include as many of these men as possible in their regular activities and plans are going forward for en- tertainment for those who may not care to dance or who would prefer to join other groups.
 Any and all suggestions and of- fers are welcome.
 Call Mrs. Mary Peter-Green 230
 Miss Mary Valentine-Blue 330.
 Come on Juneau, let's see what we can do to prove ourselves hos pitable Alaskans in the good ole Alaskan tradition.

PROSECUTION OF L0NcSH0REMEN URGED
BILBO DIES TODAY OF
 LONG SICKNESS

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 21-4R-- Senator Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi, master of filibuster and sharp-tongued champion of white supremacy, died here today without ever having taken his dis puted seat in the 80th Congress.
 Death of the 69-year-old Demo- crat left unanswered forever the question of whether he was en- titled to his third term in the Senate, from which he was barred on bipartisan charges of unfit ness when Congress convened last January.
 At that time Bilbo, seriously i'll with cancer, was accused of intimidating negro voters during his campaign, and with misusing his office for personal gain in dealings with contractors. Both charges had been investigated by Senate committees.
 But the Senators, who had un- dergcne one mouth operation for cancer here in August of 1946, re- turned for another last January and a third in June. He spent two weeks in July receiving treat ment in a Vicksburg, Miss, hos pital, and on Aug. ' entered the Foundation Hospital here for 2 complete physical checkup.
 He developed a nerve inflam- nation which partially paralyzeo him, and later a blood clot or the lungs. Doctors said these things, rather than the cancer were principal immediate causes of death.
 He died at 1 D. m.

C-0F-C ASKS CONSPIRACY
 BE CHARGED
Juneau Chamber Likewise Suggests City Request
 Injunction

The Juneau Chamber of Con- merce today unanimously urged that the United States Attorney im- mediately file against all members of the Juneau longshoremen's un- ion charge of criminal conspiracy to violate the provisions of the Taft-Hartley Law, as one of three measures suggested by the Cham Der to end the current strike.
 Also recommended was that the City of Juneau institute an in- junction suit against each mem- Ter of the striking union to en- join them from continuing to in- jure the public health and well fare of the community, the bur den of the preservation of which rests upon the city"
 A third suggestion adopted was that the Chamber support the formation of a second longshore- mems union, perhaps AFL, which could go to work after tomorrow under the protection of the Taft Hartley Law. It was pointed out that if new union or group of men offered to work the docks Saturday. not only the present longshoremen. but ships crews or any other union would have no right to strike if such volunteers were employed. hut furthermore. if any other union attempted to interfere with such unloading its members would be subject to in- junction. The Taft Hartley Law forbids jurisdictional strikes or boycotts.
 The above proposals were ac- cepted by the Chamber as the most practicable. Two other proposals were:
 Appeal to Federal and Territor- ial officials to use their good of fices to persuade the local group of longshoremen that their strike is working a hardship upon the general public of Juneau and Cas- tineau Channel, but the report states: unfortunately, past experience shows an appeal to the officials Is unlikely to accomplish much good; in fact. the existence of the strike for more than two weeks without public knowledge. so far as we know, of any official action seeking to stop it, plainly indicates either officialdom's inability to stop it or disinterestedness in it's con- tinued disastrous effects to the community
 The report further suggested the development of a strong unified public sentiment against the known members of the group promulgating the strike ''so that each of them would have brought home to him. self the injury he is doing to hts

ULTIMATUM IS GIVEN TO SHIP
 SITTING JEWS
Return to Displaced Per- sons Camp in Germany
 Is Threatened

LONDON, Aug. 2l.-tR-Britain delivered an ultimatum today to the 4,40O Jewish refugees off France: Disembark by tomorrow afternoon or be transported to Germany.
 The Jews are aboard three Brit ish ships which have been off Marseille for three weeks. They tried to land in Palestine month ago from the immigrant ship "Exo- dus l947."
 The Jews will be taken to the Bergen -Belsen displaced persons camp if the ultimatum is ignored a spokesman for the international refugee organization said at Ham, burg, in the British occupation zone of Germany.
 A Jewish agency spokesman in Jerusalem called the news shock ing He said disembarking of these. refugees at Hamburg would be "a crime against humanity.
 The Jews said last night they would go on hunger strike if they were not permitted to enter the Holy Land. They were placed aboard the three ships off Haifa after a battle with British board ing parties, and returned July 2e to France, where they began their voyage. They have refused ever since to disembark and have re- jected a French offer of hospital ity.
 The displaced persons camp to which they will be taken if they persist in their stand is less thar half a mile from the site of the infamous Belsen Concentration camp. The displaced persons camp

RUSSIAN VETO BLOCKS ITALY,

Soyiets Mace Australian Proposals for Assem-

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Aug. 2l. -tR-Russia today used the veto twice in rapid succession to block action on the applications of Italy and Austria for membership in the United Nations.
 These were the sixth and seventh vetoes cast this week and they ran the Russian string to total of IS against majority decisions in the Security Council.
 On 10th Italy and Austria, the vote was not on immediate ad- mission, but on Australian pro- |posals to leave the decision up to the General Assembly which meets in New York Sept. 16.
 The vote on Austria was 8 to l, with France and Poland abstain ing.
 The vote on Italy was 9 to l, with Poland abstaining. The action came after the Uni ted Nations Security Council had rejected Hungary's application for U. N membership by a vote of 1 to l with nine abscntions The United States, which had advocated immediate admission of Italy. did not press for further &C., tion after the Soviet veto. The Australian resolution, instead of calling for admission now, left the question up to the General Assembly. M

 Re-Stirred by Fiscal Report
Senator Bridges Declares Political Vetoes Rob-
 bed Country

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-(R- President Truman's forecast of a record-smashing Treasury surplus of nearly $5,OOO,oO0,oOO next June touched off a fresh Republican clamor today for tax slash in 1948
 Chairman Bridges (R-NH of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the Presidents mid-year bud get review estimating tax receipts this year at $4l ,667 .0000 900 - 3D. 00,000,000 higher than any pre- yious forecast proves that this country was robbed of tax re- duction by purely political vetoes. 7"
 MT. Truman twice vetoed efforts of the Republican-dominated Con- gress earlier this year to trim in dividual income taxes by $4,00o,- COCO.
 Perhaps Bridges declared at Fall River, Mass, the President now will not be so determined about vetoing tax reduction bill when it is presented to him.
 But the Chief Executive said the $4,667 100000 Treasury surplus expected for the fiscal year end ing next June 30 should go to debt retirement and to standby fund to meet any domestic or world emergency.
 Thus. a new tax battle when Congress returns in January began to take form.

Controversy on Economic Independence Aired
 at Pdn-Am Meet

QUITANDINHA, Brazii, Aug. 2l. -'R-Cuba formally presented to the Inter American Defense Con- ference today a demand for joint hemisphere action to protect what it called the the economic inde- pendence" of American states.
 Guillerma Belt, Cuban Ambass- ador to Washington and aspirant to his countrys presidency, told the Committee on Aggression that it is impossible to conceive of political independence unless a state also has economic indepen- dence."
 The presentation of the Cuban demand came after the apparent failure of a series of coffee table conferences" arranged by Confer ence President Raul F'ernandes, the Brazilian Foreign Minister, in an effort to avert an almost certain controversy between the United States and Cuba.
 The island Republics stand was against what it called economic aggression" or "unilateral econo- mic acts and threats"

 Of Current Longshoring Strike

Local citizens contacted during the last few days have shown an almost overwhelming opposition to the present tie-up of shipping by Local 1-16 of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union, CIO.
 Opinions gathered from a cross section of the population varied considerably, but the majority stressed their belief that the pres ent strike is ineXcusable. The statements which follow are not selected, and all those which were given are included, except one statement expressed in profane terms.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-08-21

Nick Rocovick, hardware store owner: Talk about stopping Com munism in Greece and Turkey, why don't they stop it right here at home?
 T think it's a disgrace to the town and to the country that these strikes could be pulled so often and that the companies and the union won't get a settlement. The pub lie is paying for it."
 Liquor store proprietor: Its about time people found out who is really behind these strikes. Bridges doesn't care what happens to the people up here"
 Catholic Priest: "The white light of publicity will do more to clean up a bad situation than anything"
 A. E. Goetz, Cold Storage fish market: We are dependent upon Seattle for everything, but they have let us down every time. I used to be able to use the steam ships as my warehouse, but it couldn't be done now.
 My big heef is that cargo loaded fair in Seattle should be handled as fair cargo here There's nothing like better than clean organized labor, but look what's happened to it here-it's gone to hell"
 Airline mechanic: They're try ing to get special exemption from the Taft Hartley Labor Bill. It's Federal Law, and they should abide by it. Yet, in their attempt to get special privileges, they are inconyeniencing everybody else"
 Dick Peters This could be a boom, because we're just pulling out of the last slump. The long, shoremen are hurting themselves as consumers, even though they may benefit from the strike" Jack Glover: Alaska should be expanding now, but it isn't. The present troubles are due to con- tracting economy"
 Clothing store owner: My opin- ion of the way to treat the long, shoremen is to use the same tac- tics they are using on us. They should be ostracized from the com munity, given none of the food they are denying to us by their action. turned out of rented homes or apartments, refused all credit and services"
 Cab company employee: T think the longshoremen's demands are unreasonable, but that the steam ship companies are not progressive enough to prevent labor troubles" Govt. secretary: If there's a strike, there's a strike. Nothing can do about it. It'll give Briggs Steamship company a chance, any way"
 1 Drug store owner: T think it's a deplorable situation that just a few men can hold up the welfare oi seven or eight thousand people Anything wouldn't be too drastic to deal with this situation"
 Halibut fisherman: This strike situation has gone too far"
 Night watchman: There are 2 few running the local longshort union who I'd like to see out ol town
 Three prominent businessmen lined themselves up very definitely with those who believe that tht longshoremen have gone too far, tha they should be halted because O. the damage they are doing to thu economy of Juneau and the whol' territory.
