MIDNIGHT SUN BALL GAME

T'lc baseball game, between ihr Officers and the All Stars at 'c Air Base this past Sunday mon ing, which started at midnigh. Saturday night, was well received by the personnel of the Base and the citizens of Nome. The game, which was well attended, pro- vided much excitement and fun flor all.
 Of course, that first inniH T when the All Stars were at bat, proved disastrous for the Officers in the final tally of runs. It seems the Officers had a little trouble seeing, or was it finding, the ball during that first inning, but after becoming accustomed to the semi darkness that prevailed the Off cers held their own and gave the All Stars a very tough game.
 With the addition of a little rain, the game ended with as much fun had by the spectators as was enjoyed by the players.

CABINET TO SCAN
PRICE SITUATION
Worried Over Initiation
Spiral, President Calls
Special Meeting

WASHINGTON, April g. R -
President Truman today cal!ed a
special cabinet session for tomor.
row to consider-in the words Of
one top official-"Whether official
steps should be taken' to combat
high prices.
The nature of such steps was
uncertain, said Edwin C. Nourse,
chairman of the Presidents Coun.
Gil Of Economic advisers. Nourse
conferred with Mr.. Truman today
and told reporters the inflationary
threat is serious"
Later Nourse divulgea he had
presented a memorandum on
price trends to Mr.. Truman. To.
morrow, he said. he expects to
"scan the possible things that can
be DONE" in consultation with the
cabinet.
He indicated this might boil
down to an intensified campaign
by cabinet officers to press for
voluntary price reductions and
moderation in union wage de.
mands. To re-control prices, he
conceded, would be difficult since
the OPA machinery is almost dis
mantled.
To Canvas Situation
The President wants to canvas
the situation with the cabinet" he
said. 1.-THE question in mind is
whether official steps should be
taken"
Almost as if cued to the White
House developments, wheat prices
tumbled for a time by as much
as seven cents a bushel at the
Chicago grain market, while or
the New York Stock exchange
leading stocks dropped 81 to 81 a
share before the liquidation halt
ed.
Nourse told a reporter that the
labor outlook is a factor in his
concern. Three weeks ago, he
said, the price situation appeared
fairly stable except in foods. Since
then Cd the wholesale commodity
price index has risen to a new
high since 1920; 70 a telephone
strike has occurred, and; (3> ma
jor wage settlements are hanging
fire in steel, automobiles and
other industries.

COnciliatOrs Fail
To Settle Strike
Warren Reports Progress
But Beirne Says mi"
On Settlement

WASHINGTON, April 8-(P--The
cross-country telephone strike con-
tinued tonight to hamper the ma
tons communications as another
day of desperate negotiations fail
ed to produce a settlement.
Government officials reported
good progress on the long-dis-
lance phase of the negotiations.
Company and union officials were
not so optimistic. One Of the union
leaders said the results were "nil'.
John w. Gibson, assistant secre-
tary of labor, said: eve made good
progress in about seven hours OF
diligent negotiations"
Edgar L. Warren, head of the
Labor departments Cancellation
service, said: 1--WE made some
good progress on a number Of is
Sues
G.. S. Dring, assistant vice presi-
dent of the A. T. & T. long lines
division, told reporters that rep
resentatives would work all night if
necessary. Then he added; THAT
doesn't mean necessarily that we
are going to finish tonight
Earlier in the day, Peter Manno
of the cancellation service held
out hopes that the long distance
part of the dispute might be settled
today.
Results "Nil"
This prompted ]. A. Beirne,
president of the National Fedora
ton of Telephone workers, te
comment: while that is refresh
ing. so far the results are nil'.
Beirne added that no one but the
government conciliators appears
optimistic.
John J. Moran, president of the
American Union Of Telephone
workers, an NFTWU affiliate, said
any prompt settlement even OF the
part of the dispute affecting long
distance calls Is 'up to the com,
pany."
These calls have been the hardest
hit In this second day of the first
cross-country strike Of telephone
workers in the 100 years since the
telephone was invented.
The Manno-Moran statements
were made to reporters as Moran's
union resumed negotiations with
the American Telephone and Tele.
graph company's long distance di-
vision.
Moran commented that anything
that happened in the negotiation
on the long lines angle would

weeks of fruitless arguments, the
Foreign Ministers agreed tonign'
to shelve the stalemated questions
OF reparations and the makeup o.
the German government, and tt
proceed to the discussions of Ger

The deadlock finally was broker
by Soviet Foreign Minister v. M

before today's meeting that il
Molotov persisted in what the
Americans called "obstructionis

might end very soon.
The ministers also agreed te
speed up delivery of war plan

progress was made on main rep
aratioas questions. Molotov, or
the in%sistence of the other three
ministers, withdrew his propose
to set up a nationwide police sys

Despite the minor agreements
the ministers engaged again in 6

after four and a half weeks o.
