Declares MatArihur Plans TriumphaI Return 10 U. S.
 In Spring 10 Capture COP
 Presidential Nomination

BALTIMORE, Nov 1. = R = A story in the Baltimore Sun today , said General Douglas MacArthur is planning "a triumphal return to the United States next spring to capture the Republican nomina- tion' for President in l948.
 The story was written by Robert B. Cochrane. former chief of the Sunpapers Tokyo Bureau.
 It said: Private adyices from Tokyo received today state flatly that General Douglas Macarthur will be a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for President in 1948.
 Tt is definitely known that Mac Arthur plans his return in April or May
 The story said this lis an open secret in the Japanese capital, . and the main topic ol conversation across occupation dinner tables"
 However, taboo has been placed against such discussions within earshot of most Allied newsmen, y it added.
 Ccchrane's story said the crew of MacArthurs private plane has been alerted to return to this country permanently next spring and that MacArthur's pilot Elmer Red Me Bride, has already sold his automo- bile to an Allied newspaper cores pendent with delivery set fer April.
 "Tokyos letters say MacArthur's delay in returning to the United States, like other war commanders who were feted in parades and public ceremonies shortly after the war ended, was dictated deliberately by master-strategy which had the Republican nomination as it's goal.
 "MacArthur, they say, is too fine a tactician to allow any celebration of his Pacific victories to be wasted in a non-election year"

LABOR TO ASK MORE
 BENEFITS
Experts Believe Unions Won't Aim for New
 Wage Increases

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-lA- Some Labor Relations experts look for unions to concentrate on old age pensions anu similar benefits rather than a third round of post war wage hoosts when current con- tracts come up for renewal.
 Most of the big contracts won't expire until after January 1. Tn the meantime, the session of Con- gross starting November IT will be asked by President Truman to do something about rising prices.
 What Congress does--or does not do-Cn that score IS certain to have a bearing on the forthcoming la Tor management negotiations. Both the AFL and CIO are protesting bitterly against soaring living costs, but thus far the top leadership ap- pears to have accepted the view that another pay rise would only be more inflationary.
 So for the present most unions seem to have decided to apply pres sure on Congress for action on prices as the best way to hold their economic ground. The CIO came out yesterday with an appeal to all city and state industrial union councils to ask Congress members for restoration of price controls, rationing Of some items, and allo- cations of scarce supplies

A5| DIRECTOR GIVES VIEWS, RATE HEARING
Declares Much Alaska Business Being Divert
 ed to Prince Rupert

SEATTLE. Nov. 4.-tH-The man. aging director of Alaska Salmon In- dustry, Inc, declared at the Alaska shipping rate hearing here yester- day that an increasing flow of the industrys traffic is being diverted through United States financed port facilities at Prince Rupert, B, c.
 Indicating surprise at the testi- mony by A. s. I. Managing Director w. c. Aronld. one of the Maritime Commission examiners, c. w. Rob- inson, asked.
 Do you mean that the United States government spent $75.000 900 on a Canadian port" during the war?
 That is correct arnold replied.
 Divert to Prince Rupert
 ITO avoid paying the high freight rates to Seattle" he said, much traffic from the Ketchikan area is being diverted through Prince Rup- ert, the western terminus of the , Canadian National Railway. [ Tt is as cheap, if not cheaper. to ship east from Prince Rupert. rather than from Seattle" The week-long hearing. over last summers 5 per cent interim rate increase was expected to end today
 Another witness late yesterday ac- cuscd the steamship lines to the Territory of 'wasteful competition" The witness for the Territory. Don- aid J. OConnor, Washington, D. O., economist accused the lines of mak- ing extra voyages when the same amount of cargo could be carried on fewer trips.
 He said that ill some cases vessels sailing between Seattle and Alaska were loaded to only IT per cent of capacity and flower rates would make such a practice prohibitive.'
 Scheduled Service
 Arnold responded that reduced frequency of service wouldn't affect the salmon industry. The lifeblood of Alaska depends on scheduled service. Tramp service would drive Alaska into bankruptcy"
 Discussing the trend toward Prince Rupert shipping by the in- dustry, Arnold said.
 The industry's cannery tenders are good towboats With war sur plus barges being sold for fraction of their original cost, canners are using them to tow an increasing amount of canned salmon to Prince Ruper for rans-shipment, thus avoiding paying freight charges on Alaskan ships
 Arnold challenged earlier testi- mony that the canning industry was in a favored rate position on the Alaska shipping routes.
 He said northbound salmon in- dustry freight rates were increased from 35 to 50 per cent last spring. and southbound rates were increas- cd in excess of 50 per cent. He said they now are 65 to 70 per cent above the pre-war rates.
