GOVERNOR ASKS
 RESTORATION OF
 INT. DEPT. FUNDS
Wants Full Amount fol Construction, Main
 tdining Highways

WASHINGTON, May 29. - R- Alaska's Governor has asked the Senate Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations to restore to the de- partment's appropriation bill for 1948 $603,OO0 for Alaskan roads and $500 for the Governors office which were eliminated by the House.
 He asked for the full budget rec ommendation of $4,535, ,000 for con- structing, maintaining and improv- ing roads in the Territory. He said that even this amount would fall short of needs because 43 per cent increase in freight rates went into effect ten days ago, adding to the cost of construction material.
 The Governor plans to depart to- day for Alaska!

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = When Congress passed it's very controversial wool bill-which will raise the tariff on wool-two men operated backstage to help write the legislation. They were: Clinton M. Hesser and M. M. Kearney, who represent the Boston wool trade and the National Wool Trade Association.
 However, despite the fact that Kearney and Hester acted as lob gyists in the ordinary understand ing of the word, the strange thing is neither of them registered as lob byists.
 Hester had his brother, Ewart registered as a lobbyist at salary of only $5,000. But in wool trade circles, it is reported that c. M Hester receives $180O0 from the wool traders, Three Congressmen admitted that Kearney and Hester lobbied with them on behalf of the wool bill, yet Congressman let them get away with ignoring the /, lobbying law

Alaska Committee of Seattle C Has Program
 For Assisting NorfhIand

SEATTLE, May 29,-LR-The Se- attle Chamber of Commerce Alaska Committee has outlined a seven point program for assisting the Ter ritory and recommended the ap- pointment of a full-time Manager of the Chambers Alaska Depart ment.
 Pointing to the long time inter locking of Alaska and Seattle in terests, the committee said it hoped the program combines immediate applicability with long-range ob jectives"
 In recommending a full-time ex- ecutive for Alaska affairs, the con- mittee suggested his responsibilities should include contracting Alaskans while in Seattle. teaching Seattle businessmen who are new to the Ter ritory how to do business in Alaska and making at least one trip yearly through the Territory. The seven point program in- cludes:
 Transportation remains the No. l task. We will strive for better understanding between the steam ship companies and their employees to assure for the future a better type of water transportation. We shall continue to explore the pos abilities of faster highway connec- tions to various sections of Alaska from the States.
 The possibility of rail connections is not overlooked and this will be investigated. Air transportation also can be further enlarged. Seattle should conduct a Know Alaska campaign with pamphlets and other means and business men should visit Alaska more often. We should continuously offer our services to Alaskan chambers and Alaskan cities so that Seattle will remain household word in the Territory"
 Whenever a problem that has the support of majority of Alaskans is presented to us for assistance, if of non-political nature, whether or not it seems to be to the best inter- ests of Seattle, but is decidedly for the best interests of Alaska, that plea should be answered" Assistance in promotion of Alas kan tourist traffic.
 1 Emphasis of Alaskan interests upon all Congressmen who are con- cerned with Territorial matters.

LABOR BILL
 AGREEMENT
 IS REACHED
Closed Shop 0ufIdwed-80 Day Injunttions Against
 National Strikes

WhoIllNC1ON, Mdy ./.--Vft- Congressional conferees on legisla- tion designed to check strikes and labor union activities reached final accord today on compromise bill.
 An agreement to scrap a House provision which would have exclud- ed food processors from collective bargaining rights was the last action taken by the conferees before re- turning the measure to the House and Senate for further action.
 Senator Taft R-Ohio) told re- porters the committee decided to remove this controversial section from the final draft and leave the matter to interpretation by the Na- tional Labor Relations Board.
 This means it continues a matter of dispute so far as the NLRB and the courts are concerned. Taft re- ported the comprmise bill was ap- proved by of the 10 conferees.
 The final draft represents im- portant concessions to the Senate by the House conferees, who agreed to abandon near-hlanket ban on industry -wide collective bargaining and provision authorizing private employers to e elk injunctions against some strikes and boycotts.
 LABOR BILL IN BRIEF
 WASHINGTON, May 29-tR- Here are the principal provisions of the compromise labor bill agreed on by House and Senate conferees:
 The closed shop is outlawed. The union shop is permitted only when a majority of workers vote for it.
 The government can obtain &C., day injunctions against national emergency strikes.
 The three-member National Labor Relations Board gets two more mem bers. JudiciaHand prosecuting func- tions are separated. with the latter assigned to the general counsel.
 Jurisdictioral strikes and second ary boycotts are outlawed. So are union -controled health and welfare funds established since January 1, l946.
 A new Federal mediation agency is set up.
 Union Made Liable
 Unions are made liable for unfair labor practices and subject to suit for violation of contract. They also can be sued for damages resulting from jurisdictional strikes and sec- ondary boycotts
 The involuntary check-off sys- tenn of collecting union dues is banned.
 A union would lose it's collective bargaining rights under the Wagner Act if any Of it's officers could "re- sonably be regarded as Commun- iSts."
 Employers do not have to bargain collectively with foremen.
 The NLRB can forbid unions to charge dues or initiation fees which it regards as excessive or discrim- inationary'
 Employers are assured freedom of speech in dealing with their workers, provided their statements are neither threatening nor coer- cive.

HUNGRY GERMANS:
Show Ugly Mood

Replying to complaints that Ger
many is being short-changed on its
food rations, Secretary OF Val ROD
ert Patterson disclosed that AGO.
600 tons of foodstuffs are slated to
be sent there during May, a IKE
amount in June and "even more
in July.
A picture of general unrest in Ger
many was drawn by official United
States investigators who said hat
the Germans we're displaying an
ugly mood of bitter resentment
toward this country because OF 1000
shortages.
Officials in the stricken country
have been predicting that hunger
born strikes and demonstrations
would break out among the Ger
mans if they remained dissatisheo
with their food %rations.
Secretary of War Patterson, now
ever, said that shipments OF food to
Germany are being made on sched-
ule in line with recommendations
outlined by Herbert Hoover 1ol-
lowing his survey Of food conditions
there last winter.

PORTALS CLOSED:
Back Claims Denied

Almost six billion dollars in back
claims for portal-to-portal pay was
erased from the books when Presi-
dent Truman put his signature on
congressional legislation designed to
relieve employers, as well as the
government, from such claims-now
and in the future.
Although he opposed the wishes
Of organized labor and OVERRIDE an
appeal for a veto by Secretary OF
Labor Schwellenbach, the President
emphasized that he was certain that
it was not the intent of congress to
nullify past gains made by labor.
Explaining his reasons for sign
ing the bill, he said, Businessmen
will be able to plan with assurance
for full production and price reduc-
tons. This will be Of real value to
labor and management in a con-
tinued high level of employment"
At the same time he repeated his
plea to business for lower prices
and requested congress to take i'm
mediate steps to increase the statu-
tory minimum wage from 40 to at
least IS cents an hour.

FLU STOPPER:
Menu Mold Tested

A possible cure for influenza may
be forthcoming from a newly dis
covered green and black soil mold,
according to an announcement by
the Society of American Bacterlolo-
gists.
So far, although there are pre-
ventive vaccines for flu, no specific
cure has been developed. Not yet
tested on humans. the mold is said
to have shown a curative effect on
chicken embryos and mice with in
fuenZa.
There is one hitch, however. The
mold-bearing earth, according to the
two scientists who made the dis
covery, was one of numerous sam
pies which came to them from all
over the world. Just where that
particular bit of dirt came from
they do not know.

Prevention seems to be the best
answer to erysipelas. A :'ery effec-
tive vaccine has now been devel-
oped, which gives a high degree
Of immunity. In areas where the
disease has become a problem, pigs
should be vaccinated as soon as
possible after narrowing, because
it often strikes them when they
are only q few days old.
Strict sanitary and quarantine
measures must also be put into
effect quickly, or erysipelas may
run through the entire herd and
spread to other farms. These
measures include the isolation OF
affected hogs, prompt disposal Of
the carcasses, and immediate
cleaning and d%isinfecting Of pens.
In the acute form, erysipelas
kills many hogs and makes others
improbable for market. Symp-
toms include scaly and sloughing
skin, swollen joints, arched backs,
lameness, high fever, and unwil-
lingness to move unless forcibly
reused.
Twenty years ago, swine cry
sipelas had been reported in only
half the states. Now it exists in
nearly all states. and causes year
ly losses running into the millions
Of dollars.

He called for a wholehearted et.

The movement is sure to draw
the approval of the United States.
