New Ruhr Strike threatens
In Protest on Food Shortage
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

.
ESSEN. Germany, May 10.-The
possibility of q new strike or slow
down by Ruhr coal miners in protest
against food shortages in the British
occupation zone of Germany arose
today as mine union leaders gath
cred for q conference at nearby
Bochum.
: The meeting was called originally
to discuss suggestions that the
miners work an extra day to make
up time lost during a strike April 3,
but the deteriorating food situation
turned the possible outcome of the
meeting into the exact opposite
channel.
The gravity of the food situation
was pointed up this week when the
Essen Mayor and City Council told
the people they could expect no
more than TAO calories q day-the
equivalent of about seven pieces of
bread-for the next two weeks. The
official normal ration is 1850 calories
q day, and food experts have set
$500 day as the minimum neces-
sary to maintain health.

REMOVAL OF ADVISER
 TO THE MARITIME
 COMMISSION IS ASKED

WASHINGTON - Alaska Las asked the Maritime Commission to remove Thomas L. Woodward, for mer Commission member, from be- ing its adviser in preparing long range solution of Che Alaska ship ing problem.
 Ralph J. Rivers. Attorney Gen oral of Alaska made the request in a letter ne made public through Delegate Bartlett lD-Alaska1.
 Rivers wrote that over a period of many years MT. Woodward has shown marked bias in favor of the Alaska steamship lines to the de triment of the Territory"
 Prejudice
 The Attorney General submitte1 affidayits of Alaska's Governor, Ernest Gruening, and Donald J. OConner, economist of RIyers' staff, setting forth examples of what he claimed showed prejudice en Woodward's part against the Territory.
 Alaska's Governor said in one af- f.dayit that Woodward. when a member of the Commission, was chiefly responsible in l940 for the Commissions oyerturning recon. mendations of examiners tha ( steamship rates to Alaska were excessive and should be reduced.
 In another affidavit the Cover nor said that in 1946, after Wood ward failed\ of .reappointment to the Commission and while he wss acting as an examiner Woodward had said the Alaska steamship companies We're correct in their claim for higher rates and said in the presence of the Governor that they must have immediate relief.
 Despite this, Gruening coatinu- cd, the Commission denied the pro posed rate increase.
 'Woodward's ideas had been clearly revealed" Governor Gruvu- ing said, Tt was so thoroughly demonstrated that the general pub lie interest and in the specific in- terest of the people of Alaska We should be derelict in our duty if We dld not insist that Woodward be removed forthwith from any connection whatsoever with Alaska shipping matters"
 O'Conner, who testified last week before the Maritime Commission a. bout freight carrying practices If the Alaska shipping companies, said in another affidavit that at conclusion of a Congressional hear ing Woodward upbraided him as guilty of intellectual disaones- .ty" for putting before the Com .mittee material he had presented before an examiner in Seattle. O. Conner said Woodward claimed that the material had been dis credited at the Seattle hearing.
