AFL Executive Council Lists
 Obstacles Found in Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 8-tR-The Times, in a special dispatch from the Am erican Federation of Labor conven- tion in San Francisco said today that the AFL Executive Council has listed three principal obstacles in Alaska:
 What it described as well-financ- ed lohbies of absentee owners, the existence of dual unionism and the type Of organizers employed by the opposition the operations of cer- tain local unions in Seattle, which it accused of believing in a colon ial system of unionism."
 These organizations had carried on disruptive activities detrimental to established local unions in the Territory" the Council said. Their representatives boast about how much money they have taken out Of the Territory The rank-and file resident unionists are very bitter about this situation
 The dispatch said the Council suggested that the AFL's Sawmill and Lumber WorketSLUnio beat to the punch" the rival CIO union in organizing the workers in Alas ka s projected pulp and paper mill industries.
 It noted that the cost of organ izers is far above their cost in the states, and it cited higher costs for food and lodging, adding
 Travel is by necessity by plane, twice the cost of similar travel in the states
 2. The Times said the Council went on record as favoring statehood for the Territory.

Reatfi0ns 10 Brit. Cabinet
 Changes Vary
British Press Divided Over Five Cabinet Clusters
 and One Domotion

LONDON, Oct. 8.-tR-A drastic overhauling of the Labor govern ment, in which five cabinet min isters were busted and leftwing Fuel Minister Emanuel Shinwell was denoted, drew some British cheers and some jeers today.
 British press comments on yes terday's sweeping changes gener- ally followed party lines and rang ed from the full endorsement of the Laborite Daily Herald to the outright protest of the Conservative Daily Graphic, which declared that nothing less than coalition re- gime could fight successfully the nations present crisis to prevent economic disaster.
 The trend of most opposition comment was that Prime Minister Attlee had strengthened his posi- tion somewhat by bringing in new and younger-blood and elimin- ating "deadwood,' hut that still more strength was needed
 Four of London's 12 daily news papers suggested that the changes, involving some 30 posts in the government, represented Socialist swing to the right. These papers were the Liberal News Chronicle, the Conservative Daily Telegraph, the Communist Daily Worker and the Socialist Daily Mirror, which often criticizes the government.
 A Labor party spokesman and a Government source both declared that such statements were, in the words of the government inform ant, without foundation and clear ly designed to create disunity among the rank and file of the Labor government

Wanted Here on Several Check Charges = Has

William De Coste, who allegedly forged and cashed four checks to- talling S42390 in Juneau during August, is in custody at San Fran cisco on a warrant for his arrest issued hy U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray September p, according to private advices to the Empire from the FBI.
 De Coste, who stayed at the Bar anof Hotel from August B to Aug ust 27, represented himself in Ju- neau as a former student for the Catholic priesthood at Holy Cross Seminary in Watertown, Wiscon- sin. The four checks which he cash ed were all on William J. Roonay, payable to De Coste from the First National Bank of Reno, Nevada.
 The complaint was filed with Commissioner Gray by George O. Cleveland, and the case has been handled by U s. Marshal Walter Hellan. The Federal Bureau of h. vestigation was brought into the search when it was learned that De Coste had left the Territory.
 According to a story in the Se- att1e t-Intelligencer, Capt" De Coste was engaged to Miss Denise Knoll Mccarthy, who died in Se- attle September 27 of poliomyelitis which developed following an oper- ation for appendicitis.
 He had met her, sad the story, in London during the war, and they had become engaged at Paris. Since the war, De Coste and Miss Mccarthy had purchased and fur nished a house in Merritt, B. C., which he called his home.
 U. s. Deputy Marshal Hellan stated that De Coste would be re- turned to Juneau from San Fran cisco to face charges here. He is also wanted by the FBI in Okla homa City and Salt Lake City for the Federal violation of transport ing falsely made securities in inter- state commerce.

The W ashlngton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Ne Wspaper headlines made it appear that re- ducing the grain used by distillers was easy But in the backStage bar gaining, some of the big whlskey boys didn't yield easily. Here is what happened in the secret meet ing of the Presidents food commit tee.
 The distillers were first asked If they would discontinue the use of grain for two months. They were reminded that they had huge re- serve stocks already on hand, estl- mated at from 468, 100000 to 525,- 100000 gallons, and that counting whiskey, brandy, rum, gin and neutral spirits, reserves have ln- creased about 100,o00,00o gallons ov- CT last year.
 Distillery spokesmen, however led by Joseph A. Engelhard, president of Glenmore Distilleries, R. E. Joyce, vice president of National Distilleries, Fred Lind of Seagrams, Robert Carr of Hiram Walker and others, argued that a two-month stop-order or the use of all grains for spirits would work too great a hardship on their industry.
 Engelhard and his colleagues pointed out that many distilling plants would be forced to close down entirely during the morator- ium, with employees thrown out of jobs, and the risk of having key employees find permanent jobs elsewhere.
 Secretary of Agriculture Ander- son and Charles Luckman. head of the citizens food committee, coun- tered that the distillers did not need to close if they used pota- toes and other grain-su substitutes tor alcohol.
