 There undoubtedly will be oth- CTS, and none present Wednesday would venture a guess as to who might have the edge. MT. Truman is represented as yet to make a choice.
 Former Gov. John J. Dempsey of New Mexico, national commit teeman for his state, told a report CT he had heard much talk of For reStal.
 Those mentioning Douglas said he is more or less favored by what hey called Democratic liberals" A native of Minnesota, Douglas went to college in Washington State, later taught at Yale and then became head of the federal securities and exchange commits sion before going ot the Supreme Court bench.
 Westerners talked of Wallgren, a former Senator and close friend of MT. Truman. One committee of ficer said the name of Lane, a Hagerstown, Md, publisher, had been mentioned favorably by some Westerners who said he had made an impression at governors conference. Lane was elected to his first term as governor last No vember.
 McGrath, authorized to name the convention date, said he thought it would be sometime af- ter July 4.

 They started during a three months tie-up in the ports of Ketchikan and Juneau a year ago and have been operating ever s.nce," Skinner said.
 The commission is trying to de- termine if the 35 per cent rate in crease it allowed under the inter i'm shipping agreement, which ex- pires June 30, l948, should be continued.
 Territorial spokesmen contend that the rates are too high. The steamship companies assert that the current rates are necessary for continued operation.
 Skinner said that there had been insufficient time, partially due to a second tie-up this year in Ketch- ikan and Juneau of six weeks du- ration to properly judge whether the rates are reasonable and justi- fled.
 Three Seattle lines, the Alaska Steamship Company, Northland Transportation mpany and Alaska Transportation company, are Alaska shippers under the in terim contract.
 Attorneys for the three lines cross-examined witnesses yester- day on testimony entered Monday and Tuesday, with Alaska Steam ship and Northland on one side and Alaska Transportation on the other.
 Ira Ewers, Alaska Steamship at torney, explained that he was trying to test the integrity" of the exhibits.
 Skinner, who was on the stand a good part of Wednesday was questioned at length by Albert E. Stephan, attorney for Alaska Transportation. Stephan brought out testimony to show that Alaska Steamship and Northland are owned and controlled by Skinner and his associates.

 The Indians, the informants said, have been pushed back in the Kashmir valley to a point less than 20 miles from the capital-a Emile retreat since the outbreak of the hostilities, sparked by the decision of KaShmir's ruler to ac- cede to India. The Princely States population is predominant ly Moslem.
 Fifteen Royal Air Force DakO- tas were expected to complete evacuation yesterday of from 200 to 250 British civilians - mostly retired civil servants, vacationists and children-from Kashmir.
 A Bombay dispatch said four air lines-Air India, Air Services of India, Mistri Airways and Am bica Airlines-suspended service from Bombay because all planes were commandeered by India's government.

EWers and attorney Stanley B. Long, also representing Alaska, frequently objected to Stephans' line of inquiry, asserting it. was irrelevant.
 In several instances, examiner C. w. Robinson sustained the ob- jections, asking all parties to stick to the rate issue.
