.LST's Battle Ice
 East Of Barrow

POINT BARROW, (PD - Two landing craft battled ice across the "top of the world Saturday in an effort to bring the navy's an nual Arctic supply run to a suc- cessful close.
 Five attack transports have sailed away from the threat of the polar ice pack after unloading supplies for the navy's oil explo- ration bases here.
 Two of the transports were to wait off Wainwright to the south for the two LISTS and the ice breaker Burton Island. Those three ships had proceeded 300 miles east of Point Barrow across the upper rim of Alaska to take supplies to the air force commun- icatiOnS base at Barter Island. The island is only a few miles from the Alaska-Canada border and deep within the narrow slit between shore and permanent ice cap.
 The LST's are on their way back. But they were reported Sat urday to be off Flaxman Island only a few miles run out of Bax- ter Island and still nearly BOG miles from Point Barrow. Reports from the vessels saiC unfavorable winds had driven the polar ice in to the Alaska coast again. These advices said the ice breaker was having to blow through ice ahead of the LST's. Earlier, the polar ice had caus- ed the sounding of alarms as the attack transports were complet- ing their unloading here. The ice pack closed into within a mile and quarter and then receded.

CHICAGO, CP) - A youn g mother who had held out against a long-shot gamble in corrective surgery to save the life of her child has changed her mind.
 Mrs. Irene Lamphere, 21, said yesterday that since learning the prescribed delicate operation has been successful in several other cases T see no use of my hold ing back"
 Her 2l-months-old daughter, Pamela, was born with the blad- der outside her body and physi- clans had said the child could not live longer than two years more unless the condition is cor rected.
 Her husband had taken the case to court, seeking a judicial order for the operation over the moth er's objections.

Canada Again Exports Beef

OTTAWA, (P) - Agricult u e minister J. C.. Gardiner announc- ed today the lifting of Canadian export control of beef cattle and calves, effective next Monday.
 The relaxation applies to beef and veal, dressed and other edible beef and veal products, canned foods containing meats, and meat pastes, as well as to livestock on the hoof.
 1t means the United States cat tie market, closed to Canadian beef producers for six years. again will be open to their pro- ducts. It means a greater supply of beef for tables in the United States. It also means that retail beef prices in Canada will shoot up, possibly by as much as 20 to 30 percent.

Five Fishermen Lost Lives In l948

SEATTLE, (P)-A salmon pack worth millions of dollars is WreSt- ed from Bristol Bay each year but rarely does that treacherous Alaskan area give up her riches without a down payment in hu- man lives.
 The season just ended was no exception: five fishermen lost their lives in Bristol Bay storms during the June 25 to July IS period.
 You almost have to expect to lose somebody each season up there," said Oscar Anderson, business agent for the Alaska fishermen's union," himself a veteran of Bristol Bay gill net fishing.
 "It is always windy up there" he continued, "and those sand bars are dangerous at low tide when sudden storms blow up. We have been fortunate in recent years and losses have been low up to this season. Never as bad as that season in 1920 when l3 or IA men were lost"
 Anderson credits the monkey boats" - small service vessels maintained by the fish companies to aid the fishing fleet-reducin& the annua ltoll. The monkey boats have pulled many a gillnetter off sandbar before a storm could swamp her, he said. | The fishermen-tWo men to a boat-fish in 30-foOt, sail-pOWer- ed gill net boats. The craft have

Truman Campaign Opens In Detroit

WASHINGTON, R-President Truman will speak at a Labor Day rally in Detroit, the White House announced today.
 That confirmed reports which have been current for some time. The speech is expected to be one of his major addresses of the Presidential campaign period.
 J. Howard McGrath, Democrat ic national chairman, long has urged the President to open his 1948 campaign in Detroit with an appeal for labor support.
 MT. Truman's charge that Re- publican tax cuts built up infla- tion fires appears to be develop ing into major issue. It is likely to prompt a campaign demand by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for a drastic cut in government spend ing.

a beam of about nine feet.
 Some 2,000 fishermen, from Seattle and other West Coast ports, were on the grounds this summer. Anderson said they probably averaged a little more than S2,OOO apiece for their chores. The pack didn't live up to expectations this year, he added.

Order Stoppage In Salmon Fishing

KETCHIKAN (P)-A one-week stoppage of all commercial fishing in Southeastern Alaska was or dered Sunday by the U. s. fish and Wildlife service.
 The order was prompted by the regions virtual drought which started in mid-March. In some quarters, it is predicted that Ketchikan's l5O inches of rain fall annually may be cut to but 40 or 50 inches this year.
 The rivers and creeks up which the salmon normally move to their spawning grounds are ab- normally shallow.

Special Session Or Free Trips?
(Anchorage News)

The special session of the Legislature for which Alaskans have been primed so long and which became actuality with the arrival of the 15day notices to members Saturday at best only be caucus of Governor Gruenng and his henchmen at the peoples expense
 It will have legal standing far the Ter ritoa laws governing the procedure of the Legislature concerned Any acts, should they be passed would be subject to contest and be in danger of being nullified through their unconstitutionality.
 These opinors have been expressed both locally and Terrtorally by men in the legal profession and by presently in the Legislature others who have served one or more terms
 Doubtless Governor Gruening has received legal opinion upon which he bases the call for it is hardly conceivable that in his position and authority would breach the law
 There have been numerous amendments to the Organic Act regarding converting of the Legislature. However, in an amendment in 1941 the terms of the Legislators clearly set forth years and the time of beginning of the Legislature established as the fourth Monday in January in each odd-num- bered year.
 On that day the members of the Legislature take their oath of office and are officially installed as Legislators Before that date they elected or prospective Legislators with more authority to speak for the Territory than the the street.
 special session of the Legislature called before the fourth Monday in January of a legislative year must therefore necessarily consist of the holdover members PLUS THE DEFEATED MEMBERS
 other words, it is the previous Legislature which must consider the matters of the special session, for it is special session of the last Legislature, the Eighteenth and not the coming Legislature, the Nine teenth, that is being called.
 The fact that the newly elected members have also received the special call notices is indeed fusng under the law we understand it and can only mean that money is being spent irregularly.
 The Federal government will pay the travelling expenses of the Legislators but the Territory pays salaries and per diems which amount to $22 day per member
 Apparently it is another instance of spending more to tax more while saving here and there to avoid apparently becoming old fashioned even in Alaska.

Wakouts in transportation circles, like the present one tying up the Port Seattle getting tresome to Alaskans as they must also be to the steamship company operating to Alaska.
 The present wakout is by AFL bosses and check CTS who alleged beatings of AFL membership in Seattle by CIO workers aftermath of the long shore strike that only recently settled. Three other ports hit by the present walkout Tacoma Ana cortes and Port Angeles have been released according to an Associated Press dispatch to The Empire, and they were reopened today, but the order did not include Seattle where the complaints first made
 Ed Coester, sailor union leader and Chairman of the AFL Maritime Trades Department of the State of Washington said last Friday afternoon that walk ing bosses and checkers will work all ports where they deem working conditions to be safe, but Seattle is not believed safe, up to the last advices ceived by The Empire.
 This means cargo for Alaska is again tied up, for the time being.
 It was only recently that the coastwise strike oi 95 days ended. Steamship companies immediately docked their boats. gave them overhaul doubtless at great added expense, and prepared to sail them Three steamers did sail north all O. K then the walk

acknowledged.
 Not generally realized, however
 is the fact that we are playing
 into Russian hands by sending
 aluminium to Europe. 1 What happens is this. The ECA
 sells aluminium to Marshall Plan countries at 16 cents a pound. This competes with aluminium produced in France, Italy, and Switzerland at 19 cents. These countries have greatly expanded their production since the war, but since they can not compete with the 16-cent ECA aluminium, they sell their product to Russia.
 Result: Russia is now buying a good part of the European output and stockpiling it. Furthermore, it is paying for this aluminium in gold. The Soviet is already large aluminium producer, able to supply its own needs. However, aluminium is one of the most essential of all war materials. Hence the So- viet stockpile
 What this means is that Canad- ian aluminium, badly needed in the United States is indirectly going to Russia at the expense of the American taxpayers.

U. s. AIDS ALUMINIUM TO MOSCOW

Real fact about the black marketeering of scarce Marshall Plan metals back to the U.S.A. from England, Holland and Belgium is that w. B. Griffen of Modern Metals magazine called this to the attention of ECAdministrator Paul Hoffman three months ago. So did Senator Vandenberg of Michi- gan-without result
 What happened was that last September, Griffen published the fact that European countries were shipping back to- the U.S.A. scarce aluminium we had sent them un- der the Marshall Plan, at an in- Hated price of 80 to 90 per cent At present, U. s. manufacturers can get only about half the aluminium they want, so they'll buy it wherever they can.
 Readers clipped the Griffen ar ticle and sent it to Paul Hoffman. No result. Then, Hoffman's close friend, Senator Vandenberg-re- sponsible for his appointment as Marshall Plan Administrator ed him. Hoffman still pooh-pooh- ed the idea that Europe was ship ping metal back to us, even wrote a letter to that effect.
 Now the return shipments are

Oregon, Ray Baldwin of New Hampshire, Alexander Smith of New Jersey and James Rem of Missouri.
 Meanwhile, tDs split between the two COP factions is growing steadily worse The old guard act ually argues that the best strat- egy is to sit back and wait for a depression; they believe the people then will rally around the COP standard again. The liberal fac tion argues that depression would drive the people to Henry Wallace, not the COP, and that the best course is to build a progressive program and take it, Truman-style, to the grass roots Both sides have heen holding post-mortems on the election, but the first real show down will come the third week in January when the Republican Ma tional Committee meets here.

AFL FAVORS PART OF TAFT-HARTLEY

The Taft-Hartley bill will be one of the most controversial questions before Congress, but President Truman and four A. F. of L. lead- CTS mad little trouble agreeing on it's repeal provisions when they conferred at the White House re- gently.
 The A. F. L. quartet consisted of President William Green, Secre- tary-Treasurer George Meaney and Vice Presidents George Harrison and Dan Tracy. They opened the conference by asking how far Tru- man would go in his labor recom- mendations to Congress.
 We of labor are hopeful the Democratic platform pledge for Taft-Hartley repeal and restoration of the Wagner Act will be carried out in full and as quickly as pos sible, said Green.
 I'm for that" replied Truman. He added there were some neces- sary amendments to the new act, however, that he hoped the A.F.L. will support
 There are three of them" he ccntinl. ed, and I have spoken of them before. In my message to Congress last January. I urged a ban on jurisdictional strikes, on secondary boycotts and on strikes by irresponsible labor leaders that create national emergency.
 We must protect the people from strikes in key industries that cripple production in other in- dustries, even if we have to use the courts against the few unscrupu- lous leaders who cause them" Tru- man argued, obviously referring to John L. Lewis. Our economy can't stand it, especially in these times Of world unrest. I am sure responsible labor leaders like your selves will agree"
 The A. F. of L. will accept the three amendments you propose ?

While the memGers of the Elm pire staff were enjoying their pri- vate Christmas party in the com posing room last Friday afternoon, what could be more appropriate than a serenade by the Salvation Army Band?
 Anyway, the band appeared, played several Christmas numbers with vocal refrain, and were given most enthusiastic hand.
 Perhaps this is the first time Salvation Army band anywhere ever serenaded a newspaper office using the composing room for the affair.

 THE DEW-DROP"
 Publicity given the "Dew-Drop" the plush plane supposedly built for President" Dewey-will have a healthy effect upon Army-Navy waste in using special planes for VIP's (Very Important Persons). l.
 Two years ..go Air Secretary Symingtcn and Secretary of War Bob Patterson both took firm stands against setting aside spec ial, de luxe planes for generals and cabinet members. However, this ban has gradually eased up, and a lot of money could now be saved in both the Army and Navy by curtailing the plush jobs" re- served for private usage.
 Real fact is that the Lockheed Company was chiefly responsible for getting the Air Forces into trouble. Contract for 'the plush job" was publicly announced on April 29, long before either Dewey or Truman was nominated It was finished and took it's first flight on October 27, shortly before the election.
 Tn the interim, however, the LocKheed people, long jealous over the fact that Truman rode in Douglas, had gone to Dewey and suggested that he use the new [ Loekheed Constellation-afte he became President of the United States. The Independence, made hy Douglas, should be set aside, Lockheed suggested to Dewey, and he should ride in a really gilt edged job-namely, the plane they were just finishing.
 That was how the DeW-Drop happened to get its name.
