 COURT ORDER
Army Takes Over in Run ing Sysfems-Embar-
 goes Are Lifted

WASHINGTON. May l1--iR-- The railroads ran as usual under Government direction today and the Army lifted the emergency embargo on shipment of perishable goods
 The action restoring freight ser vice to normal came after the Government forced the Engineers. Bremen and Switchmen to call off strike set for this morning.
 Eighty eight lines had banned shipments of perishables during the weekend to prevent them from being stranded in event of walk out. Many cancelled the embar- goes last night, however. in advance ol the Army order
 The rail unions called off the threatened strike in compliance with court order from Justice T. Alan Goldsborough--the Federal Judge who twice fined John L. Lewis for contempt in mine strikes.
 With the Army in charge of rail operations, the White House with drew from direct attempts to get the unions and management to settle their wage dispute.
 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said he assumed there would be further talks between the operators and Brotherhoods. But he said Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman will not start any new conferences.
 Gcldsborough's temporary re- straining order" ta type Of in- JunctionD expires May 19, eight days from today. The Judge set a hearing for that date on the Governments request for long CT injunctien. The three unions will have their chance then to fight back.
 There were other question marks. too
 President Truman had to seize the railroads to ward off the strike. The Army thus found It. self in technical possession of the country's immense network of rail- roads.
 How would it deal with the un- ions?

Secretary Royall Will Name Union Manage

WASHINGTON, May IL IR- Army Secretary Royall, boss of the railroads under Government opera tion, said today he will name a union-management advisory board to help him run them.
 Royal reported to a news con- ference that the roads are operating in normal fashion.
 While Royal was talking with re- porters at the Pentagon Building, leaders of the three unions held their own news conference. The main points they made
 l. Only a wage settlement can entirely remove the possibility of a rail strike.
 2. They are looking now to Royall to settle their wage dispute.
 B They hold considerable resent ment because of the governments move.
 Alvanley Johnston, Chief of the Engineers, said the union men made many concessions in the long and fruitless White House negotiations for settlement.
 Royal told his news conference that for the time being the army will make no attempt to settle the dispute.

Statehood For Alaska
 Moi in '4S

WASHINGTON, May l1-lR-- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska says no Congressional action to make Alaska state can be expected this year.
 He said this is the unacceptable conclusion" that must be drawn from the vote Saturday of the Sem ate Interior Affairs Committee to delay action on the Hawaiian statehood bill until next year.
 Bartlett said that with Chairman Welch tR-Calif) of the House Pub lie Lands Committee, and Chair man Crawford tR-Mich1 of the Territories Subcommittee, he had asked Speaker Martin (R-Mass) to take the, Alaskan statehood bill to the House floor for a vote. Mar tin said. according to Bartlett, that if the Hawaiian statehood bill passed the Senate he would permit the Alaskan bill to be called up in the House.

Smith Note 10 MoIotov V Might Be Construed as
 American Proposal

WASHINGTON, May II = P- President Truman said today that the American bid to Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov for decent and reasonable relations" tetween the two counties represented no new departure in American policy"
 Its purpose, MT Truman said in a formal statement. was to make it "unmistakably clear that the United States has no hostile or ag- gressive designs whatsoever with respect to the Soviet Union
 The Presidents statement did not indicate whether the note of Am tassador Walter Bedell Smith to Moi otov May might be construed as an American proposal for discussion and settlement of existing differen- ces between the two nations.
 The two main points of the state ment by Smith. MT Truman said, were these:
 1. The policies of the United States Government in International questions have been made amply clear in recent months and weeks They have the support of the over whelming majority of the American people. They will continue to be vigorously and firmly prosecuted"
 2. "On the other hand this gov- ernment wishes to make it unmis- clear that the United States has no hostile or aggressive designs whatsoever with respect to the So- yiet Union.v

 PROBLEMS
Hopes Expressed California Interests May Aid in
 Supplying Service

WASHINGTON, May II -lR- Chairman John J. Allen. Jr, R Calif) of House Subcommittee on Alaskan transportation problems said today he hopes California ship operators will show interest in pro- vIding steamship service to the Territory
 Allen announced in a statement that his committee will hold hear ing May IS on proposals to extend present service to Alaska until Dec. 31, lo49.
 He said he hopes that such oper- ators as the Coastwise Line, of San Francisco and Portland, who have considered establishing a service from California, oregon and Wash ington to the Territory, particularly to carry pulp wood southward, will appear"
 The present service is operated bv three Seattle companies under an agreement ill which the govern ment grants them charter on gov- erllileno siIIps at Sl year and pays part of the insurance on the ves- sels. The lines are the Alaska Steam ship Co.,, The Northland Transpor- tation Co. and the Alaska Transpor- tations Go.
 Allen said only recently vessel of the Alaska Steamship Company was used for cargo from San Francisco to Alaska
 Neither the members of the com mittee nor the Maritime Commission fully support the proposed exten- sion of the temporary service, Allen said. The proposal was introduced by Rep. Tollefson Washj by com- mittee request.
 Other solutions may be consld- cred" Allen continued, adding:
 One such that has found some favorable response is q proposal that the Maritime Commission, through a general agency contract or government-owned corporation. op- crate a service which will care for carrying passengers and mail with possible freight service. to small ports not otherwise regularly served, throwing the field of carrying freight to the principal ports wide open to general competition.
 His committee. Allan said, will at- tempt to stabilize the Alaskan ship ping situation.
 Alaskans have said they do not approve the proposed extension of the present plan.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said he had others opposing the Tolletson Bill are drawing up substitute which will give Alaska additional benefits.
 He said he expected 1t will be ready in a day or two.

WASHINGTON During the closing months of the recent war Secretary of War Robert Pat terson remarked to this writer
 T am worried for fear our pres ent determination to punish the Nazi war criminals will cool off. If we are to prevent future war we must convict and punish several thousand of the guilty, and do it right away. If we don't do 1t right away, it may never be done 7
 Secretary Patterson was referring to the tolerant spirit of the Ameri- can people. What he didn't forsee was that the chief exponent of let ting the Nazis off easy would be his own successor-Kenneth Roy- all, now Secretary of the Arn15.
 During the war, Royall made a brilliant defense of the Nazi sabo- teurs who landed on Long Island by submarine. Appointed as attor- ney for the saboteurs. his argument was so able that some people seem ed almost convinced they should go free.
 Now, before the House Appropria- tions Committee. he seems equally anxious to forgive other war crim- inals. Tn addition, he has sum-
