Post Office Department Reldxes Long, Standing

WASHINGTON, Sept 12-lR- The Postoffice Department has rul- ed that newspapers carrying stor- ies which there is incidental mention of a lottery will not be barred from the mails.
 The ruling, a reversal of long, standing policy, represents new interpretation of the law which provides that newspapers publish ing the names of lottery win ners are not mailable.
 The decision followed a chal- lenge by the St. Louis Star-Times of the St. Louis postmaster's right to bar from the mails it's editions which told how a North Carolina negro held the winning ticket in lottery for Cadillac automobile only to be denied the prize on the ground that the drawing was for whites only.

EUROPE HELP TO PINCH

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.-lR- The Administration's plans to helr Europe may reach down into the daily life of the American people
 If approved by Congress, the help Europe program may require some controls over business-con- trols this country otherwise might get along without.
 The government almost certainly will have to keep rein on the kinds and amounts of things which are exported. Some restrictions either voluntary or government imposed may Lc necessary on the use of flour and wheat pro- ducts.
 One difficulty is that things which Europe needs most are not always plentiful in this country Whatever is sent abroad will mean that much less for the American people.
 Take steel. Europe needs a lot of it. But the American people are not now getting as many au- tomobiles as they want, partly be- cause steel supplies are tight"
 The picture of the strain that will be put on this country is in- complete but it is taking shape.

KETCHIKAN. Sept. 12.-(Spec- iaD Various statements made by officials and members of the In ternational Longshoremen's and Warehousemens Union (CIO), at recent hearings in Juneau before the Congressional Subcommittee on Territories and Insular Possessions, were refuted here today in a state ment by Edward G. Dobrin of Se- attle, presented to the Subcommit- tee at it's hearing here by Attor- ney Lestor o. Gore.
 Dobrin, of the law firm of Bogle, Rogle and Gates, has repre- scented the Alaska Steamship Com pany and the Northland Transpor- tation Company in current long shore labor negotiations since their beginning. With regard to the present longshoremen's strikes at Juneau and Ketchikan, Dobrin stated:
 After negotiations between the companies and the representatives of the union at Seattle had re- suited in a tentative agreement for an overall Alaska contract on wages, hours and working condi- tions which was to be subject to ratification by Alaska locals, two additional demands were made by the union: First, for a redistribu- ton of work as between the un- licensed deck and engine room per- sonnel of vessels on the one hand and longshoremen on the other; and, Second, for clause relieving the union of responsibility for alleged unauthorized acts of it's members.
 No agreement was reached on these two additional demands and the strike followed In the negotia- tions following the strike, these two additional demands remained the only unsettled issues and so far as the companies are advised are the only unsettled issues.
 The first additional demand is for work now being performed by the unlicensed personnel on the vessels thus creating a jurisdic- tional dispute which the companies have no power to settle. This demand seeks to confine the un- licensed personnel to work in one hatch only.
 The second additional demand seeks to force the companies to relieve the union from liability imposed upon it by the Labor Management Relations Act and the companies are unwilling to nullify the provisions of the Act Since the tentative agreement was reached, the Act has become ef- fective which will now require both the union and the companies 1 to modify those provisions for a closed shop which have now be- come unlawful.
 Negotiations for an overall Alaska agreement have been car Tied on at Seattle and the com Ipanies are ready and willing tc renew these negotiations"
 MT. Dobrin further said that the statement was made for the pur- pose of setting forth the under standing of the companies as to the issues which occasioned the pres ] ent strike of longshoremen al Ketchikan and Juneau.

The Governor of Alaska sum- med up the position of statehood advocates in a final statement be- fore the Senate Public Lands Com mittee here yesterday afternoon, declaring:
 Either the Congress should sup ply the Territory of Alaska with those things it cannot achieve for itself as a territory or turn Alaska loose to try to meet it's own needs as a state.
 The Governor appeared as the last witness before the Congress- ional group headed by Senator Hugh Butler at it's public hearing here. His remarks were an addi- tion to statements he already had made to the committee at other hearings in other cities

 Previous to the Governors re- marks, Attorney General Ralph Rivers elaborated upon the request voiced during the morning by Jack Fletcher, that the Coastwise Pass enger Act of 1886 be revised to per- init Canadian vessels to carry pas sengers between Alaska ports. At present. Rivers said, interport traf- fife is in sorry state
 Tourist travel could oe encou9- aged without hurting American flag lines, since tourist bookings on all ships already are filled for at least a year ahead At present, he cited, one American line-the Northland Transportation Com pany has one passenger vessel sailing between Juneau and Haines every two weeks. The cost of talk ing car that short distance is $l20
 The Canadian Pacific ship line now proposes a service, beginning in 1949, which would carry cars between the two ports for not more than $50, if permitted by law. The American lines, Rivers ayerred, ara not interested in developing the short water haul via the Haines Gateway. as their main business is over the long water haul from Seattle to Seward On the other hand, Canadian lines are inter- tested.
 In reply to Senator zales Ecton, whether local passenger-ferry service could be developed, Rivers said he understands the invest ment required would be terrific, for only seasonal operation At Cross Purposes i Rivers called the Alaska exclu- sion clause in the Jones Act an other instance where the Federal government is working at cross purposes with itself That clause. he said, "hamstrings' Alaska de- velopment while at the same time the Federal government is pressing development of Alaska as a defense ! bastion.

NewWage Raise Drive
|ntensifies Congress
Fight on Initiation
Murroy's Announcement
Expected to Have Effect
On Congressional Action
By james Y. Newton

The battle in Congress over
anti-infation measures was in
tensified today by the announce
ment of a new CIO drive for
higher wages and indications
that the administration has
drafted two bills to carry out
President Truman's price and
wage control program.
Republican leaders made it clear
that concrete action by the admin
istration to gain authority to con-
troll prices and distribution through
rationing of important commodities
would meet immediate opposition.
However, Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio, the COP economic policy
leader, refused comment until he
has had opportunity to study the
proposed legislation.
Pay Raise Demand Studied.
There was a difference of opinion
in Congress as to whether the an
nouncement late yesterday by Philip
Murray that the big CIO unions
will seek sizable pay adjustments
in negotiations early next year
would complicate or expedite action
at the Capitol.
Mr.. Murray said he expected nc
action by Congress in the specia
session to control prices. After meet.
ing with the nine CIO vice presi.
dents, Mr.. Murray said action or
the Truman 10-point anti-inflatior
program had been postponed unit
another meeting in January, Wher
the CIO Executive Committee alst
will assemble here.
While Mr.. Murray refused to com.
ment on the subject, it was assumed
that CIO unions, or most of them
would accept a roll back of living
costs in lieu of a pay raise. There
is not much optimism in labor cir.
circles, however, that prices will bt
reduced. Earlier, the CIO had asked
for price controls and rationing a.
means of reducing living costs, along
the lines of the Truman program.
Mr. Murray said the size of tn
wage increases to be sought wa!

pended on the profit position of tn,

proposal to establish a police

tenance of American living
standards and still make possible
generous foreign aid, was ad-
vanced today by Earl Bunting,
president of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers.
In addressing the opening of the
MANS SD Congress of American
Industry, Mr.. Bunting called for in
creased productivity, emergency for
eign relief in goods, not dollars, and
reductions in Government spending
and income taxes.
Earlier, Allen Welsh Dulles, chief
of the Office of Strategic Services
in Europe during the war, told the
manufacturers that the key to peace
is in the hands of American indus
try, agriculture and labor, since the
Soviet Union is gambling on the
failure of our system"
Labor Asked to Forego Raises.
Mr.. Bunting asked labor leaders
to forego demands for general wage
increases without increases in pro-
ductivity, except in cases of gross
inequities.
"All feather-bedding rules should
be set aside" he said, as well as
"all restrictions on individual pro-
ductivity not essential to employe
safety and health"
Mr.. Bunting attributed the cost
of living increase to failure of pro-
duction to keep pace with demand

The changes were announced at

ency rating conference by John A

rating administrative section.
I'VE believe these changes will aid
in making ratings more valuable for

blows or fraud" either starts strikes,
keeps them going or prevents any
one working who wants to do so.
The section also broadens the def
milton of what constitutes sabotage.
Shortly before this mornings vote
the government accepted an amend
ment by Socialist Deputy Adrien
Mabrut eliminating false news,
knowingly propagated,' from the
list of punishable methods OF en-
couraging strikes.
During the hot debate on the
sabotage measure, Finance Minister
Rene Mayer rose dramatically and
announced that saboteurs had un-
bolted sections of track and thus
derailed a Paris-Arras mail train a
short time before. He said seven
persons died in the wreck. A rail-
way official later said II were dead
and 27 hospitalized.

Mr.. Mayors announcement brought
a roar from the Communist benches

Msgr. O'Boy|e Named First Archbishop Here;
Will Serve With Whole Heart and Soul
Bishop Keough Given
Separate Baltimore
See, Less 5 Counties

Msgr. Patrick A. O'Boyle, 81,
executive director of Catholic
Charities in the archdiocese of
New York, was named by Pope
Plus XII early today to be the
first Archbishop of Washington.
At the same time, the Apostolic
Delegate announced the Pope's Sc
lection of Bishop Francis P. Keough,
ST, of Providence, r. l., as Arch
bishop of Baltimore.
In New York, Archbishop-e elect
OBoyle said he did not know when
he would be consecrated and in
stalled.
Here it was said he probably would
be consecrated by Prancis Cardinal
Spellman, either in New York or
Washington, on a holy day of his
choosing. This probably will take
place before Christmas, with the in
stallation following here sometime
after Christmas, it was said.
The appointments mark the first
time that the Washington and Baltl-
more sees, separated during the ad-
ministration of the late Archbishop
Michael j. Curley, will have indi-
vidual archbishops. They were ad-
ministered jointly for 26 years by
Archbishop Curley, who died May 16.
Separate leadership of the sees
populated by half a million Roman
Catholics also was marked by trans
fer of five Maryland counties from
Baltimore to the Washington arch
diocese.
Henceforth Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Charles, Calvert and St
Marys Counties will be in the juris-
diction of the Washington arch
bishop.
