Recommend Pay Raises For Terri tOrial Governors

WASHINGTON, R)-After the Interior Departments endorse ment of an increase from $l0,000 to $l5,000 in the salaries of Ter ritorial governors Monday, chair man Crawford R.-MichD of the House territories subcommittee declared:
 "I'll have to be sold on this bill. I have no sympathy for proposals to raise salaries of federal off cials above that of members of Congress where the responsibili- ties are no greater
 The increase proposal applies to governors of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is- lands. Irwin w. Silverman, chief of the division of territories, brought the endorsement of the interior department, which was supported by delegates Bartlett of Alaska and Harrington of Ha- Waii.
 The subcommittee will con- sider it at later date.
 Crawford, meantime, announc- ed appointment of three attorney members of the subcommittee to study a bill providing increased compensation for U. s. commis- sioners in Alaska.
 The three members, Reps. En- gle D.-Calif), Taylor R.-N. Y.) and Dawson R.-Utah), will con- fer with Bartlett on the proposal
 The bill would increase the commissioners maximum com pensation from $3,000 to $5,0OO g year to be collected from fees and provide a guaranteed mini mum of $20O a month for 46 of the 68 Alaskan commissioners.
 Bartlett estimated the increase cost would not exceed $l00,000 a year.

Communists Blast Chinese Railroad

PEIPING, (P) - Several sec tions of the Peiping-Linyu Shan haikwan railline were blasted and uprooted Tuesday a few hours after two trains carrying 500 American marines and their com mander passed safely through Communist-held territory.
 Col. Julian N. Frisbie, com mander of the Fifth Regiment of the First Division, travelling in a deluxe coach, and 800 marines in a special train reached the port of Chinwangtao without incident. They began boarding two trans ports for Guam and the United States in the withdrawal of lea thernecks from China.
 About $50 marines of the Fifth who drove a 75-vehicle convey from Peiping to Tientsin Monday were left waiting at the station by the rail explosion. They had been scheduled to board trains from Tientsin Tuesday to join the re- mainder of the Fifth at Chin wangtao.
 The vehicles, which made the highway run without difficulty, were being shipped by water to Chinwangtao.
 The railroad was cut during the night in two separate places be- tween Tangku and TangShan, tearing up a mile-long section in one instance.
 The railline goes southeast from Peiping to Tientsin and Taku and then northeast to Chinwangtao and Linyu.

Tug Explodes And Sinks; Eight Dead

SEATTLE, (P) - Four seamen still are missing from the eight man crew of the war surplus tug ". H. McFadden which sank Fri day in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the coast guard said all are be- lieved to have perished.
 The coast guard announced this forenoon that search efforts were being abandoned after exhaustive efforts had failed to locate the sunken craft or any evidence that any of the men survived.
 Coroner A. C. Grady said at Port Townsend examination of the bodies led him to believe the boat might have caught fire and the men had time only to don life jackets before an explosion sent it down. Exact cause of the sink ing remains a mystery, although shipping men and coast guard au- thorities expressed belief the craft either foundered in a treacherous rip tide or caught fire and ex- ploded.
 The McFadden, 68-foot, 500- horsepower steel-decked tug, was en route to New Orleans, La. It was purchased recently from the war surplus administration by the Liquid Fuel and Transportation Co.,, Fort Worth, Tex.

The commit tee would be required to report its findings to the present Congress and submit any recommendations for legislation" it considers desir- able.

Russians To View Soviet War Movie
(BY Eddy Gilmore)

MOSCOW, (R)-When Russian audiences see the forthcoming Soviet cinema "The Battle of Sta lingrad" they will see Prime Min ister Stalin depicted as accusing Britain and the U. S. of breaking a solemn promise to open a west ern front in Europe in 1922 so that Russia would be "bled white" and her allies could dictate the terms of the peace.
 Excerpts from the script, pub ished yesterday in the Moscow News, only English language pa- per in the Soviet Union, show Winston Churchill as the princi- pal mover against the second front. President Roosevelt is pre- sented as opposing him, but pow erless to alter the British Prime minister's determination.
 The script has Roosevelt saying at one point: "There is only one thing for which I am too old and that is to drag Churchill across the Channel in chains
 At another point Stalin is de- picted as saying to the audience, following a Moscow conference at tended by Churchill and former U. s. ambassador to Russia w. Averell Hartman:
 Tt is clear. A campaign in Af- rica and then Italy. They simply want to reach the Balkans first They want us to be bled white so they can dictate the terms later. At one point it quoted Roose- welt as telling a newsman:
 unfortunately, it does not de pend on me. What can you dc against inertia? It is like hitting a punching bag of wet manure. You can only soil your hands" About 439,000 miles of the na-

 Attack Hurts Industry
 Tt is, indeed, my opinion that the weakening of constructive unionism would be as injurious to conscientious employers as to labor itself.
 s'In an industry such as ours, made up of numerous comparative ly small firms, responsible labor organization is necessary to prevent an unreasonable and unfair minor ity of employers from undermining those who depend for survival upon the merit of their product and their service.''
 U II management cooperation such as has been achieved in the coat and suit industry may not, he said, be as dramatic as "fst-brandishing, and sabre-rattling."
 But 1t is a broad-visioned pattern for peaceful progress worthy of the widest possible emulation," Printz as- serted.
 Not Natural Enemies
 Such program, he said, demonstrates that labor and management are not traditional enemies or >ingrained ad- versaries." He urged that similar ef- forts be made in other industries, per
