 Taken by NC

SEATTLE, May 13-LR-G. w Skinner, President of the Alaska Steamship Company, said today that he did not believe that the company would make any answer to the protest filed yesterday by the Governor of Alaska and Attor- ney General Ralph Rivers of AL aska against proposed freight rate increases.
 The Alaska officials asked that the increases be suspended pend- ing a hearing on them. The re- quest was filed in Washington with the Maritime Commission.
 Unless we get different inform ation from Washington, Skinner said, T do not believe any ans wer will be necessary
 The members of the Maritime Commission understand the situa- tion."
 Unless suspended by the Com mission, the rate increases will go into effect in the Alaska trade May 21. The three steamship companies filing them said the freight rate increases amount to 35 percent. Territory officials, on the other hand, say they amount to 43 percent.

The w ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = It didn't make the social columns, but Secretary of State Marshall has just held his first dinner party after returning from Moscow, and the guest list indicates that some old wounds are healed.
 The dinner was held in the home Nelson Rockefeller has loaned Marshall. Guests included. General Bedell Smith, U s. Ambassador to Moscow; MT. and Mrs. Jack Mc- Cloy, former Assistant Secretary of War, now head of the World Bank; and last but not least, the former Secretary of State and Mrs. Byrnes.
 There was. time when shrewd likeable Jimmy Byrnes would not have sat down comfortably with General Marshall. The discontinue started more than one year ago when Byrnes came back from his own mission to Moscow--after a failure no worse than Marshalls- and was welcomed by barrage of criticism from some of President Truman's immediate staff. Several of them, led by Admiral Leahy, urged Truman to drop Byrnes and replace him with General Marshall as Secretary of State In fact message was sent to Marshall, then in China, on secret War Depart ment code so that it would not be seen by the State Department, asking Marshall to be available.
 Premature publicity, however,

 Krug talked over the plans with MT. Truman and Alaskas Cover nor. He told reporters afterwards that if the President can get away in time to reach Alaska by the first two or three weeks of Aug ust he plans to go. After that time. he said, the weather is un- comfortable.

BIG LABOR
 MEASURE IS
 PUT ACROSS
Legislation Goes 10 Con- ference with Tough
 One from House

WASHINGTON, May ll--tR-- The Senate today passed it's big labor bill designed to curb strikes and halt many union practices.
 The vote on final passage was 68 to 24. The margin is sufficient to override any possible Presiden- tial veto
 The far-reaching measure, de- nounced by organized labor hut generally endorsed by many in- dustrialists, now goes to conference for compromise with a tougher bill approved by the House.
 Then the compromise version will go to the White House, pro- bably late this month.
 Shortly before the final vote the Senate rejected 73 to 19 a substi- tute bill drafted by group of democrats who regarded it as the kind of legislation MT Truman would sign. Critics, called it a Milk and water" bill
 Senator Taft tOhio), chairman of the Senate's Republican policy and labor committee, led the fight for the bill adopted
 Both the House Labor Bill and the bill passed by the Senate in clude the following:
 l. Outlaw the closed shop, un- der which the boss can hire only union members.
 2. Permit the more common un- ion shop when a majority of the workers veto for it. Union shop agreements authorize employers to hire anyone they choose, but the workers must join the union short ly thereafter.
 3. Prohibit jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycottS A juris- dictional strike usually results from a fight between unions over which should do certain work. A secondary boycott is union at tempt to hit indirectly at an em- ployer by forcing other employers to quit dealing with him.
 4. Authorize the government to seek injunctions to block of stave off national emergency strikes. such as a coal or steel tie-up
 5. Create a new federal media ton agency independent of the Labor Department.
 G. Make unions liable for unfair labor practices. Employers already are.
 T. Require unions to register and file financial reports annually.
 8. Make unions subject to suit in federal court for violation of contract
 g. Prohibit employer collection of union dues unless workers give their consent in writing.
 10. Free employers of any obli- gation to bargain collectively with fcremen.
 II. Guarantee employers free dom of speech in dealing with employees so long as their state ments are neither threatening nor coercive.
 12 Outlaw union coercion of workers in organizing campaigns.
 l3. Allow employers to petition the National Labor Relations Board for elections to determine which union shall represent their workers,
 IA Deny collective bargaining rights to union if any officer could reasonably be regarded" as a Communist or Communist sympathizer.
 The House bill goes much furth- CT than the Senate's on other points.

SOVIET LOSES .IN PALESTINE INQUIRY MOVE.
Threatened Arab Wiih- drawaI Ignored by LIN
 Political Committee
By MAX HARRELSON

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, May IS. --tR-Despite a threatened Arab walkout the political committee of the United Nations Assembly today defeated a Soviet move to have a LIN Palestine inquiry commission draft proposals for immediate in- dependence of the Holy Land.
 The vote was 26 against the Rus sian measure, Is in favor, with 12 abstentions and two absences.
 This meant that the inquiry com mission would be given a free hand to consider all possible solutions of the Palestine problem without any special reference to the independ- ence question.
 The vote came after Paris Fl Khory, Syrian delegate, said out side the chamber that the Arab del- egations were considering the pos sibility of walking out of the spec ial assembly in protest against a majority stand on the Palestine question
 Fl Khourv, leading spokesman for the five Arab states in the. LIN. told newsme'l that if the present trend in the deliberation of the Assemhly's political committee con- tinued, the Arabs would adopt a policy of mon cooperation" with the work of the proposed LIN Pales- tine inquiry commission. He said the Arab delegates might even leave the Assembly.
 Fl Khoury specified that this eventuality was in the process of formulation and that the five Arab countries had not yet made their final decision.
 Fl Khoury said the Arabs were insisting on two points:
 1.-At least a mention of the word independence" in the in- structions to be given the inquiry commission
 2.-Reference to the United Ma tions charter in those instructions
