 Newspapermen

TOKYO, June 27. - tR-General Macarthur told visiting American newspaper executives today that Japan should be supervised" for "a generation" perhaps with the aid of American bomber and fighter planes.

Loy Maloney, Managing Editor of the Chicago Tribune gave the Associated Press a report on Mac Arthur's views on various phases of the occupation.

By DRTW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-I no great se- cret that Harry Truman doesn't like Henry Wallace-though few people realize how bitter he really IS. However, it was supposed to be a secret that Henry made an indirect bidf' for reconciliation with Harry just before his climatic speech in Washington's Potomac Park last week.
 Wallace had written one signifi- cant paragraph in his speech offer ing his services to President Tru- man or General Marshall to go to Russia to try to patch up peace be- tween the two countries
 His plan was to offer whatever good will he had with the Rus sians to try to iron out the snarls in American Russian relations and try to get the two countries back on an even, amicable keel.
 But before delivering his speech, Wallace had his chief adviser, Har- old Young, sound out the White House as to how Truman might re- ceive the proposal. Word came back

Mystery Deepens About Those Whizzing 0bjetts
 Seen Over Pacific N. W.
(By The Associated Press)

The mystery of the flying discs" deepened today as more Washington and Oregon residents stepped for ward to back reports of the eerie saucerlike objects first reported Wednesday by an Idaho flier to have been flying in formation over the Cascade Mountains.
 One witness, E. H. Sprinkle of Eugene, Ore, produced photograph last night of flying objects" which he said he sighted from a Eugene hill June IS. Arrangements showed seven dots in the sky in what could be military formation.
 Still another version, this time of night flight, was reported by Archie Edes of Wenatchee. While driving on the Moses Lake Highway last Friday night with his father and family, Edes said he saw a speeding object descending in a long slant x x x it looked like a long, oval blue-white flame.
 AS we watched, it neared the ground and when it was about 200 feet high it exploded. There was no binding flash, but there were great showers of sparks and piles of flame seemed to hurtle to the ground" he said.
 A very bright, shiny object" was reported by Mrs Donnie Howell of Salem, Ore, to have been seen 'tumbling" through the air last Tuesday. A week before, according to Mrs Howard K. Wheeler of Bremerton, she and her husband sighted three of the objects flying west about six o'clock in the eve ming
 A Yakima woman, Mrs. Ethel Wheelhouse, also reported sighting the whatzits" Tuesday afternoon. They sped so fast she could not count them and abruptly disap- peared, she said.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June 27.- R-Ketchikan was threatened to- day with a complete tieup of its cold storage docks. and possibly other port facilities as result of a show cause order obtained in Fed eral court by 28 Seattle halibut boat owners.
 The owners are seeking per- manent injunction against the Deep Sea Fishermens Union, which has been picketing four Seattle boats, the Nordhy, Mckinley, Commando and Masonic
 The show cause order is return able in court July l.
 The petition for injunction claim ed the DSFU entered into an un- lawful conspiracy with the Inter- national Longshoremen's and Ware housemen's Union to restrain the plaintiffs from fishing by prevent ing them from obtaining ice, bait and other supplies.
 The complaint also charged pre- vention of Interstate Commerce be- cause the ILWA bans its members from performing their usual work loading the boats.
 Claims Made
 The owners claimed the unions used threats and intimidation by declaring the fish catches hot car- go." They contended this violates the newly passed Taft Hartley labor law and also the Sherman and Clay antitrust acts.
 Their petition said no bonafide labor dispute exists between the plaintiffs and the defendants nor with the ILWU and it seeks to re- cover costs and disbursements in cured through the DSFU action.
 Peter N Michaelson, member of the Seattle DSFU executive com mittee, which has been directing the picketing, said the court action will force the union to remove its pick cts from the docks and place them at street entrances thus blocking all piers, which would keep all dock side workers off their jobs.
 Trouble May Spread
 He said similar action may be taken at other waterfront places, such as shipyards, if boats attempt to obtain services and supplies
 The plaintiffs are listed as: Ber- nard Hanson. Bernard A. Hanoun, Ole Knutson, Carl Sather, Nils Ped ersen. Harold Tofte, Einar Rice, George Eliasen, Hans Grytling, Lars R. Ness, Edwin Eliasen, Einar Ol- son, Harry Hanson, Einar Telnes, Sigurd Ness.

the rates for fire. theft and collision
insurance in Maryland and the Dis.
trict were increased yesterday. Ths
increase varies according to TIL,
prices of cars.
There was no increase In Virgins
where rates are controlled by tn.
State Insurance Commission.
The rates are based on the amount
OF damages paid in the preceding
5 years. They were low during thu
war because the volume Of auto traf-
fic was small. Higher prices of usec
and new cars, and consequent higher
costs Of replacement also caused the
current increase.
