STATEMENT
BY CHAMBER
CHALLENGED
Governor Defends His
Work, Others, in Long
shore Strike

The Governor of Alaska today
took the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce to task for last weeks
report concerning proposals to
bring an end to the longshore-
mems strike in Alaska. In a
lengthy letter he took issue with a
statement appearing in the report
which said:
An appeal to Federal and Terri
torial officials to use their good
offices to persuade the local group
OF longshoremen that their strike
is working a hardship was rejected
because unfortunately past ex-
perience shows an appeal 10 the
officials is unlikely to accomplish
much good; in fact, the existence
of the strike for more than two
weeks without public knowledge,
SO far as we know, OF any official
action seeking to stop it, plainly
indicates either officialdoms in
ability to stop it or disinterested-
ness in its continued disastrous eff
fects to the community"
The Governor said that a month
t1lore the strike was called he had
a meeting in his office with long
shoremen, labor officials, steamship
operators representatives and two
townsmen to see whether the
strike could be headed Off
He said that Michael Haas, De-
partment of Labor representative,
made a trip to Seattle to work
on the strike, and that he tele-
raphed Secretary of Labor Schwel-
lent ach and the President for their
help.
I'VE were not successful, ana that
1 greatly deplore," said the Gov
ernor.

u. n. Group 10 Report
On Failure 10 Enter
Bulgaria for Probe
By the Associated Press

sALONIKA, Greece, June 13.-
The United Nations Security Coun-
Gil is to get a report from sub
commission in the Balkan invesd-
CATION telling why the subcommis-
sion did not 60 into Bulgaria.
The investigating group began
drawing up the report last night
after a public meeting at which
its American representative criti-
cized and its Russian representa-
: tive defended Bulgaria's action in
setting conditions for the inquiry
within Bulgaria.
= The subconsnission, looking into
Greece's charges that anti-govern-
ment guerrillas have obtained help
from beyond Greek borders, sus-
pended its Bulgarian probe Wednes-
day because of these conditions.
1t. Col. Allen c. Miller of the
United States accused the Bull
garian government of deliberately
delaying the inquiry by failing td
fulfill its obligation to provide the
u. N. with full facilities for the
investigation. He said that hae
the subcommission accepted Bull
garia's conditions, it would have Sc
a precedent of "gravest conse'
quences."
This would have constituted, II
effect" he declared, 'reco5nlrloI
that an interested government
while recognizing our right of entry
would have the right to decide not
only when entry should be made
but where and how the commission
should do its work"
Russian Representative Casporo'
replied that Bulgarian liaison Off
GERS with the subcommission were
right in insisting that the grour
not go to Berkovitsa because they
had no instructions on that part OF
the investigation. The Greeks say
Berkovitsa is a center for training
and disqualification of Greek guer-
rillas.
