The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Despite his eighty-one years of age, popular Senator Arthur Capper is quite a gay dog. At debutante dances, he Is almost as active as the boys va cationing from Yale and Harvard. However, the venerable Senator does not number alcohol among his miner vices. He comes from the prohibition gtate of Kansas and lives up to the letter of the law both in spirit and in name.
 Not only is Capper teetotaller but he has recently introduced bill to prohibit liquor advertising in interstate commerce. This would fierce radio stations, most newspa- pers and all national magazines to turn down all beer, wine, and liquor advertising.
 The other day, however, Senator Capper got telegram from fel- low Kansan which he did not par ticularly relish It was signed by Louis Levand, publisher of the Wi chita Beacon, who accepts no H. auor advertising and has publicly pledged that he will accept none even if the Kansas dry laws should be repealed Levand has been wag- ing a war against Kansas bootleg gers and the corrupt Republican

Bridges, West Coast Ship owners Break Silence
 on Negotiations

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5-'R- Harry Bridges and West Coast Shipowners explosively broke tense public silence today over negotiations aimed at avoiding an- other shipping strike on June l5. Each charged the other with bad faith.
 Bridges CIO Maritime Commit tee. which he heads, said the Ship owners were resolved to lock out the Unions rather than extend contracts a year and mediate slight wage increases" being asked by "a couple of the unions"
 The Shipowners countered with the assertion that such an exten- sion was offered the unions on Memorial Day. Their statement suggested that anything else, such as wage increases, constituted something new injected by Bridges without their knowledge.
 Bridges, Chairman of the five union committee, sald all WorK on the ships and waterfronts' will cease unless labor contracts were renewed by that date.
 He denied reports of settle ment.
 One of the unions, the Marine Engineers, is asking for six per cent wage increase" he said. Tt looks like some adjustment will be necessary before it can be said safely that a settlement is in sight
 The unions wanted all contracts extended until l948, but the Water front Employers Association offer ed to extend them only until Sept. 30 when their AFL contracts eX- Dire

 Twelve crew members were be- lieved downed, while 21 others who managed to board lifeboats or scramble atop the rocks were res cued by the Coast Guard cutter Kimball.
 Threatening weather forced a de- lay in the grim hunt for victims yesterday afternoon after the bodies of two women-Mrs. Joseph Toba- chuk, 30, of Fort William, and Mrs. Edna Schultz of Owen Sound, Ont. had been taken from the water
 The Canada Steamship Lines, owner of the ill-fated ship that was carrying iron ore to the lower lakes, announced Northern Engineering Company's vessel, Coastal Queen, had been commissioned to renew the search for another woman and nine men.
 Although there was practically no hope that any of the missing crew could be alive after long exposure on the northern lake, the Coastal Queen carried three small power boats to SCOUT the bleak headlands of Isle Royale, a remote national park.

Fourth, it was revealed that so per
cent of the citizens did not know who
makes the laws Of the city, although
the City Council fixes the tax rate,
spends their money and every two
weeks enacts legislation which is
prominently reported in the news
papers. Fifty-seven per cent of the
citizens would not want their sons (if
they had One) to enter politics, and
q per cent did not believe it possible
for a man to be in politics and re-
main honest.
Here, in a city, certainly average
so far as the citizens are concerned,
conscientious poll shows approx
lmately so per cent either unin-
formed or misinformed about their
local civic affairs and conditions.
Logically, of course, they would be
even more ignorant of national af-
fairs, and vastly more ignorant of,
and indifferent to, international af-

know the name of the mayor of their

fully asks: "How are we going to get
them to grasp the situation and see
their part in it," 1t is a trenchant
and pointed question, and Mr. Stokes
by no means has the answer when he
expresses the hope that the people
will accept the premise that "our ma
