 STILL pICKETING
 ARMY FREiGHTER

Picketing of the freighter Square Knot by the Juneau Local of the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union con tinued into its third day today, with every evidence of a stale mate.
 The Square Knot is a Maritime Commission ship chartered to the U. s. Army Engineers, with the Alaska Steamship Company acting as bookkeeper and purchasing agent.
 The Juneau local contends that since Alaska Steamship Company is acting even in a slight capacity as agents for the ship, the existing contract between the company and the International Longshoremen should be adhered to.
 It. Comdr. Edward P. Chester, Naval Aide to the Governor of Alaska, called meeting of the parties to the dispute this morn- ing, in the office of James Huston, Area Engineer of the U. S. Army Engineers. Present were Territorial Commissioner of Labor Henry Ben son, Horace Adams, local agent of Alaska Steamship Company, Illus ton and representatives of the Longshoremen's local
 There was no change in the sit uation as result of the meeting and according to Huston, nothing further can be done until some agreement is reached in Seattle be- tween representatives of the U. s. Engineers and the Union.
 Meanwhile, engineers and crew members of the Square Knot, in- structed by their union headquart- CTS to observe the picket line, walk ed off work yesterday afternoon, thus halting all activity on the freighter.

$100,000 WILL BE ASKED, CAMpA TO PROMOTE STATEHOOD

Request will be made of the 18th Territorial Legislature, now in ses- sion in Juneau. to appropriate $l00,000 for the promotion of state hood for Alaska before Congress, it was voted by the Juneau Statehood Association at a meeting last night in the City Hall Rough draft of a bill proposing the setting up of a statehood lobby in Washington, D. C., patterned after the Hawaiian agency, was approved by the Asso- citation after considerable discus sion and it is expected it will be tossed in the legislative hopper within the next few days.
 The measure will provide for the creation of an Office of Statehood Campaign Director, whose sole bus mess will be to promote statehood for Alaska The office will be set up "as the Legislature shall pro- vide with appointment of Direct- Ter, staff and salary left up to the Legislature. A suggested salary of S8,000 ger year for the Director was proposed. It was brought out that the S10o0o0 appropriation figure also was a suggestion and based largely on the theme carried out in Hawaii, which now has a full time agency in Washington, lobbying for Hawaiian statehood
 This is purely matter that if Alaskans want statehood. they must go out and fight for it just as Hawaii is doing" declared Pres ident Cash Cole. What we need is a full-time statehood advocate back in Washington, selling Alaska statehood to the right committees of Congress. I hope the Legislature will feel the same way about it Next meeting of the Association will be held at p. m. Thursday night, February 20, in the City Hall

MOVIE MAKER ASKS END OF CLOSED SHOPS
Causes Serfdom of Work CTS Says Cecil B. De
 Mile fo Senate Com.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Movie maker Cecil R. DeMille asked Con- gress today to prohibit the closed shop and free" workers from serfdom unparalleled in American history since the abolition of slav- cry
 Forming the power of the closed shop union absolute, the Holly wood producer declared it controls the right to work" and thereby the right to live
 It is "a grotesque departure from American democracy" de Mile told the Senate Labor committee.
 The witness said he was "oepriv- ed of the right to work" for refus- ing ito pay a political assessment" of one dollar levied by his union, the American Federation of Radio Artists.
 Referring to an incident in the 1914 election, DeMille said his To- cal made the assessment as part of its campaign against State election proposal which he favor ed.
 For this adherence to my poli- tical right, I was suspended by AFRA-and. under the provisions of the union shop, prevented from appearing on the radio program which I had produced for more than eight years" DeMille assert ed, adding:
 This is not democracy. It is oollectivist absolutism There is not an iota of difference in principle between it and the dictatorship we defeated.
 Hitler and Mussolini had their majorities. Did that make them right?"
 Declaring that union power" was at issue in the last election, De- Mile added:
 The people had had 15 years of the policy which gave unlimited power to the unions. They were promised reform. They accepted that promise and elected Con- gress pledged to fulfill it.
 They did not vote to destroy unions, but to restore equality and freedom in labor relations.

Would Provide 6 Interim Operation for Next
 16 Months

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 A House Merchant Marine Subcom- mittee approved legislation yester- day to authorize the Maritime Commission to contract with private operators to furnish an interim steamship service to Alaska.
 Chairman Bradley CR-Calif) of the Subcommittee said the full committee would approve the reso- lution today and send it to the floor of the House for vote next week.
 The measure will give the Com mission authority to charter gov ernment-owned vessels to the op- orators at a nominal charter hire to be used in the Alaskan service. The government will pay the insur- ance on the vessels but under terms of the legislation will recapture 75 percent of the profits of the oper- ation.
 It also gives the Commission au- thority to require economical op- eration by the Alaska Steamship Company, the Northland Transpor- tation Company and the Alaska Transportation Company and to cc. ordinate their operations.
 The measure is designed to auth orize the interim operation from March l, 1947 until June 30, l948
 Operators testifying at the hear ing today told the Committee they favored the immediate passage of the resolution.
 The measure became necessary because the Maritime Commission has authority to operate the scr vice to Alaska expires Feb. % and the operators announced they would not resume the service un- less they received an increase in rates, which is opposed by Alas kans.
 The operators contended a 8 percent overall increase is neces- sary.
 Under the resolution the Com mission is given authority to adjust rates.
 The operators have said they will not enter into any agreement with the Commission under the proposed law until the new rates 
 have gone into effect.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-S very basic aspects of the postwar agriculture program were laid before President Truman when Albert Goss, president of the National Grange, called at the White House recently.
 Goss outlined for the President what he holds to be the four major approaches to the entire question of Government.farm relationship and urged him to adopt one of them.
 These are the four courses which have been advocated, boiled down to their essentials" he told the Presi- dent. "A decision will have to be made soon, sir:
 First, the farmer will plant and SOW exactly what the Government asks of him, and in return will be guaranteed an income approximat- ing 75 cents an hour for his labor" (Goss did not tell Truman, nor does he admit it widely in Wash ington, but this is his own analysis of the National Farmers Union program
 Second" continued GoSs, "the Government can let the farmer do as he pleases, planting as much or as little as he desires-a sort Of laissez-faire philosophy. And it can pay subsidies where necessary in order to assure him basic in- come.
 Third, we keep production down to stipulated levels and place a floor, at 90 percent of parity, under

 Sundborg also pointed to the ADB resolution advising $20,000 appropriation for the Attorney General to arm that official to battle rate cases. He said he hopes the Legislature will favor that ap- propriation' so that the ADB can get out of rate cases.
 Senator Don Carlos Brownell questioned Sundborg on accuracy of reports that the Governor had exerted undue pressure on the Board The answer is ''categorically mo- Sundborg said. Regarding criticism for excess travelling, Sundhorg said he personally wishes his job did not require him to tra- vel at all
 In answer to Senator o. D. Coch- ran, Sundborg said that S54,626.13 remained of the ADB appropriation on January 3l, 1947.
 Asked by Cochran if he knows any reason why the present mem bership of the Alaska Development Board should be disrupted or changed? Sundborg returned that he believes there is every reason why there should not be" any change.
 Sundborg's most persistent inter- rogator was Senator Coffey CO., author of s. B. 4.
 Asks For Views
 Starting with a request for Sund- borg's view of his duties, Coffey asked if Sundborg had participated in politics, particularly regarding meeting at Ketchikan. Sundborg answered that he did not engage in party politics and was unaware of the meeting referred to- Coffey then asked details regarding AIDE contracts with Scoll, on payment 1 of travel and per diem for Federal employees and whether Sundborg had sent out wires asking opposi- Sundborgs answer to the last of the series.
 One question interspersed by Coffey was whether aboriginal claims would prejudice pulp in- vestment. Sundborg answered that he thought pulp development would come anyway.
 Asked if he knew why his pre- decessor, Henry w. Clark, had re- signed, Sundborg said that Clarks new job paid him considerably more salary, even to start; also that Clarks then prospective bride did not wish to live in Alaska Sunoborg added that 1t was Clark who had influenced him to apply for the ADB managers job. Senator William Munz was Sund- borg's last main questioner before recess. The Second Division Sena- tors queries were pointed at acti- vities of Development Board mem- Der Antonio Polet, of Nome.
