Labor Falls Down Aiding
 Legislation
Congress 10 Go Ahead on Laws as Union Leaders
 Not Cooperating

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-tRL-Sen- ator Ellender D-La) declared today that Congress must take the bull by the horns and write it's own ticket" on labor legislation because union leaders "are not cooperating.
 "I have been most disappointed by their showing" said Ellender, a Senate Labor Committee member whose views in the past often have coincided with those of union spokesmen.
 The Louisiana lawmaker told a reporter the committee expected but got no aid from AFL President William Green, CIO Chief Philip Murray and United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther.
 They and other union officials sharply assailed most pending leg islation in testifying before the committee last week.
 The Senate labor group has more union representatives on tap when it resumes hearings tomorrow.
 Ellender said one of the things congress seems likely to do is re- wise the act ito restore free speech to employers
 The Louisiana Senator was crit ical of what he called the mega tive attitude" of union leaders and said that fact is causing many congress members who have been on the fence to get off"
 When the union people come in here and say they are snow white in the face of inexcuseable abuses, then the only thing for congress to do is take the bull by the horns and write it's own ticket Ellender said.

TRAWLING STUDY TO BE CONDUCTED,
 ATLANTIC COAST
Results Will Have Effect Upon North Pacific
 Fishing Industry
By vERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.[R- The Fish and Wildlife Service dis closed today that it wants to re- commission its research vessel, the Albatross III, as soon as possible to conduct tlawling studies of New England.
 Primary objective of the l65-foot research vessel will be to deter mine whether trawling as practiced in the North Atlantic since 1905 is harmful.
 If studies show it is not, said FL mer Higgins, Chief of Fishery Bio logy for the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice, the effect upon the North Pacific fishing industry will be great.
 Alaskan fishermen oppose trawl- ing and fish for helibut with dimes. Many others also contend the travis, which bring up as much as 10000 pounds of fish at one time, damage the ocean bottom by flat tening it out, smashing coral, sea weed and small marine life.
 If it is true that trawling is harmful, we should know about it and it should be stopped Hig- gins told reporters.
 "If trawling is not harmful, Pa cific fisheries may be wasting a great resource. particularly in the Alaska area, by neglecting to em- ploy this system"
 The Fish and Wildlife Service has asked Congress for S54,00o with which to operate her for months after her reconversion is completed next October.

50L0N5 FIGHT .SNAFUDURING| MEET:
Reconsideration Vote on Administrator General
 Out of Order

The Alaska Senate spent this morning trying to unsnarl tangle of red tape resulting from the re- consideration vote taken last Fri day on the Administrator General Bill CSSB l.
 AS the final action Friday. that measure which had passed earlier in the day was recalled from the House and the emergency clause was stricken on new vote. When the Senators met this morning, they were informed that their whole action Friday was out of order. The House Clerk had sent the bill back to the Senate without authoriza- tion from the House Which already Lad adjourned at the time.
 Since the Senate could not recon slider the bill without having 1t legally in possession, all that part of Friday afternoons work was wasted effort. In an attempt to clear the record, the Senators this morning expunged from their Jour nal of Friday all action on recon si6.ration except Senator Gunnard Engebreth's notice of intention They also wrote in that prior to Engebreth's notice the House had been asked to send the bill back.
 With Fridays action ostensibly undone, the Senators began over again this morning-but only after President Andrew Nerland demand ed that any action taken today correspond with Fridays A revis- ed request for the bill was sent to the House Again the bill it. self carried, again by a 12 to 4 vote. Once more the emergency clause was struck out; but where the emergency failed Friday by 6 to 10 margin. today it was over whelmed, to IA Only Senators Dawes and Rogge stuck to their guns.
 Little other action took place in the Senate today before the body adjourned until 10 o'clock tomor- row in order to leave this alter noon free for committee chores. The Senate had no calendar for today. One measure, H. J. R. 2, was re- ported out by the Territorial In- stitutions Committee and was giv- en new referral to finance.
 A message received from the Gov ernor stated he had approved four more measures: s. B. 8, a supple mentary appropriation for schools; s. B. Is, increasing taxes on liquors, H. J. M. l, the Statehood Memor- ial, and H. J. M. 2, urging con- struction of a road from Fort Davis to Council in the Second Division.
 Seven new Senate bills were re- ceived and referred to committees. Some confusion was caused by re- ceipt by the House of second en- rolled edition of H. B. II. That Blanket Primary bill had already had it's first Senate reading on Friday
 At the request of Senator O. D. Cochran, John M. Cross was ex- tended the privilege of the Senate floor.

 Merry Go Round!
By DREW PEARSON

WASHllJGrON-Iuring the 1886 Republican Convention in Cleve- land. COP bigwigs labored late one night to persuade Senator Ar thur Vandenberg to be Ali Lam don's vice-Presidential running mate.
 One man who especially wanted vandenberg to take 2nd place on the ticket was the Chicago Tri- bune's Colonel Bertie Mccormick. He figured that the combination of the Kansas Governor and the Michigan Senator would beat even Roosevelt. Vandenberg, however, remained adamant.
 McCormick's pressure on Van- denberg had heen brought entirely through second parties. So, when they failed, he went in to see the Senator himself.
 "Colones" replied Vandenberg, after the Chicago publisher had exhausted all his arguments on why the COP needed him as Vice. President, let me ask you just one question. Would you like to be vice-President of anything?'
 ''No," confessed Mccormick.
 Well, wouldn't either"
 That ended the argument. Van denberg did not run for Vice-Pres- ident in 1886, and it was common gosslp that he was waiting for the top billing later-the chance tc run for President. Whether this was true or false, some paradoxi-

Won papen Is Given
 Jail Term

NUREMBERG, Feb. 24-lR-Franz Von Papen, ace of Adolph Hitler's diplomatic corps, was sentenced by a German identification court to- day to serve eight years at hard labor.
 Sentence was imposed by the seven-man court after it had found the former Reich chancellor and ambassador guilty as a major of- fender who helped Hitler to power and stayed with the Nazi regime to the end.
 The court also ordered Won Pap ems personal fortune confiscated.
 Von Papen was acquitted of war crimes charges only last October by the International Military Tri- bunal which sentenced Herman Goering and 10 other Nazi leaders to death following a history-mak- ing trial here.
 The one-time Nazi diplomat now is 68 and has hardening of the arteries. The courts sentence was regarded as tantamount to a life term.
 Won Papen's confiscated property includes centuries-old estates in both the French and British zones of Germany. He was barred from entering both zones after his ac- quittal at the war-crimes trial and was forced to remain in the U. s. zone.
 At the denazification trial, he protested that he had been mo- tivated by a desire not to help Hitler, but to help Germany.

NAzIS PLOT NEW WAR IN
 EAST EUROPE
Former Officers of Elite Guard Seized-Claim
 Secret Weapon
By RICHARD KAsIscHKE

BERLIN. Feb. 24-LR-American and British authorities arrested more Germans during the night in squelching a reported nationwide Nazi plot to restore German arm ed might to lead the nations of Europe against Russia"
 The Nazi captives, including fu- gitive Storm Trop officers. claim ed to have secret meteorological weapon.
 A British announcement said the cleanup was progressing smooth ly" although snow and ice on the roads handicapped raiding squads.
 American and British intelligence agents were questioning the hun dreds arrested, seeking information that would lead to minor plotters in a group overlooked or unknown before the swift raids of Saturday and Sunday broke the organiza- tion dedicated to a new totalitar- ian Germany.
 American officials said headquart- CTS of the subversive group ap- parently was in the British zone.
 Close Liaison
 There was very close liaison be- tween the leaders in the British zone and the 30 high Nazis seized in American territory one U. s. officer commented.
 Those seized in the American zone, arrested at their homes, were found to possess false documents. Some used false names. The Amer ican officer said we will have to break them down fully before we can think of trying them. All are liable to the death penalty as plot ters.
 United States and British SOL diers and intelligence men, striking throughout their occupation zones despite a snowstorm and icy roads, seized once-high officers of the old SS (Elite Guard), SA tStorm Troops), Hitler Youth German h. telligence and other similar agen- cies in the biggest such movement since the war--the first to cover two zones.
 Seo.s- weapon
 A British senior intelligence offi- cer at Heford said the movement claimed possession of secret bac- astrological weapon ready for use. Other officers declared they had not learned for sure whether the group had such weapon. Col. Hans Einsmann, one-time officer of the German Bacteriological War fare division, was captured in the British zone.
 The British said the movement stretched into the Russian and
