OPEN WAR

Up to this point, Tobin had done all his countering indirectly through others. But in the latest issue of his official mouthpiece, The International Teamster, he square off himself.
 Tobin served blunt notice that he is boss and intends to remain so. He also laid the ground for firing Beck as executive vice presi- dent.
 .'The executive vice president" Tohin declared, lis a new officer created to be helpful to the gen. eral president in every way possi- ble. The executive vice president is appointed for no special length of time and can be removed at any time if his services and &C., tions are not satisfactory to the general president It would be en- tirely impracticable to have anyone as executive vice president who did not carry out the policies and work in harmony with the general vice president either now or in the fu- ture."
 The next move is up to Beck. In- siders are predicting it will be in l the political field.
 1 Beck is an, old friend of Gov. Earl Warren, COP -Presiden- tial candidate. Tobin is lifelong Democrat: headed the Roosevelt Labor Campaign Committee in all the late Presidents campaigns. But Tobin has been cool to Truman. l Its still in the works what will happen between the two team Ster titans.

CHARACTER OF OWNERSHIP"

Arguments in favor of abolishing fish traps seem to center around the matter of absentee ownership o the salmon industry than anything else
 In a recent edition of the Kodiak Mirror, the Governor of Alaska is quoted as saying:
 "The chief evil of the traps is in the character of tbe ownership If we could scatter it throughout Alaska among the fishermen it would be alright, but the salmon industry won't yield the only way is to get rid of them"
 An anti-trap advertisement in The Empire says:
 " distribute trap revenue among Alaska seiners and gillnetters :.
 In other words the wrong people own the traps. If these people won't yield and sign away their prop ertv to Alaskan fishermen, should put them out of business.
 That's just about the way it would be done Ill Russia today This is known "Soclal' Legislation, softer term for scciaisc redistribution of wealth or ownership or highway robbery.
 Time was when the people of Alaska welcomed with open arms the absentee owners from Outside whose large investments made possible the establish ment of what was to become Alaskas largest industry the canning of salmon
 Today that enthusiastic welcome is repeated With announcements that absentee investors of the United States and Belgium will dig up the millions of dollars Alaskans required the purpose of building Alaska first two pulp mills at Ketchikan and Sitka

Again with Tobin's blessing, Cecil Dunlap, top official of the clerks, went to Seattle and took over four of Beck's retail locals. Dunlap im- pounded their funds and fired their business agents-all Beck appoin- tees. None of the locals had ever elected officials Beck always ap- pointed them Also, of the $2.5O dues the members paid, only 35 cents went to the international union. Beck got the rest.

UNION GRABBER

Beck's empire building has been bcld--to put it mildly. It has in- cluded bit of strike-busting against another union.
 Since last April l2,000 machinists have been on strike at the huge Boeing bomber plant in Seattle. The strikers are members of the International Machinists Associa- ton, an independent union long on good terms with the teamsterS. During a teamsters' strike in Hart ford. Conn. the machinists con- tributed thousands of dollars ana did picket duty.
 Notwithstanding this, ill May Beck sent his teamsters through the Boeing picket line, and the following month began organizing Boeing mechanics. Beck claimed jurisdiction over half the plants employees.
 The outraged machinists yelled bloody murder. With Tobins hearty approval, Harvey brown, head of the machinists, whote to every West Coast teamster local denouncing Beck and asking their support for the strike.
 The Washington State Federation of Labor also took husky slam at Beck. It adopted resolution condemning strike-breaking and union grabbing The Everett, Wash, AFL Metal Trades Council went further. Charging Beck with re- cruiting high-school students as Boeing strike breakers, the Council sent a resolution to Gov. Mon Wallgren demanding Beck be fired as Regent of the State University.
 And last week, AFL International Clerk went right into Beck's own bailiwick and slugged him.
 For years. Beck has bossed five Seattle retail unions. They were part of his private labor barony. consisting of brewers, chicken cleaners. canners, and various pro- cessors.

Air Lift"
Washington Post)


 Nothing the Russians have claimed in the way of invention can surpass the fecundity of their magma ton in devsing new blasts against the Western air support of Berlin. After the crash of an American supply plane recently they charged that the opera tions were being conducted by unskiled iexperenceo pilots They scarcely could have picked more fan tastic complaint. The safety record Of the ar HI under almost unbelievable difficulties has been truly amazing and it would be interesting to contrast 1t with Russian performance under similar conditions But now the Moscow radio has outdone itself In a broadcast monitored by the State Department It al leges that the American flights to Berlin in truth are not used to feed the people but to remove gooo from Berlin Every day 500 tons of capital goods and valuables are being removed from Berlin" The inference is quite natural, judging from the Russian experience with assets liberated from Germany But surely some kndhearted fellow traveller ought to in- struct the Kremln that he word lift has other con- notations than merely 'pilfer.

One phase of the lair rescue demonstration at the opening cere- monies of New York's giant Idle- wild Airport turned out to be more realistic than the spectators realiz- ed An L-5 Cub plane, piloted by an NCO, actually crashed.
 The Air Force surgeon who para chuted to the rescue administered genuine first aid to the uncon- scious pilot and rushed him to a hospital. He was still unconscious when he arrived.
 The attendants had difficulty as- certaining the pilots identity. Fin ally. an officer hurried in and told them, He is Sergeant James A. Trehearne, Jr., of Indiana.
 At this, the pilot raised his bead and murmured, Not Sergeant, sir, Staff Sergeant"
 Then he became unconscious again.

 The appointment was accepted throughout the union as formal ac- knowledgement that Beck was To- bins heir apparent.
 But Beck, apparently wasn't satisfied. The burly Seattle la borite didn't want to wait until Tobin stepped out. Restlessly am- bilious, Beck decided to build a labor empire of his own.
 That is where he overreached himself. Fire born Tobin has rear ed back and declared open war on Beck.

to show the current sellers market
may continue for another five years.
Against this some sources say the
buyers market could return sud-
denly under any influences that
would affect purchasing power.
It is true, at the same time, that
many of the untitled orders now on
file have been on the industry S
books for more than a year.
This condition should send lot
of business to the used car dealers
this summer.
Noticeable about the new models
already announced or about to be
introduced is the emphasis on re-
finement both in styling and en-
gineering. The car makers did not
need this refinement for competi-
tive reasons at this stage, but they
figured if expensive changes were
to be made they might as we'll be
thorough about it.
Drastic Changes Unlikely.
Certainly the car builders making
drastic changes now will not repeat
the process again a year hence.
Ford's new Lincoln and Mercury
models are good example OF the
complete re-designing for 1949.
Benson Ford said these two models
would be new from the ground up
and the designers have made this
statement good. Details still are
being withheld but it can be said
the new models bear no resemblance
to their predecessors. They are
lower and appear longer and they
handle more easily and ride more
comfortably than any vehicles Ford
so far has produced.

Auto Plants Estimate
Coal 5toppage Cost
About 215,OOO Units
By Dovid J. WiIkie
Associated Press Automotive Editor

/ DETROIT, April 15.-The coal
mining tieup has cost the car in
dustry at least 215, 900 units Of pro-
duction and its effects will be felt
for several weeks to come.
This is the automobile industry's
reaction to the calling off of the
coal stoppage. Working on ma
terials stockpiles the car makers
have been able to maintain a
fairly volume of production during
the four weeks stoppage OF coal
output. Their stocks of steel have
been dwindling during that period,
however, and no sudden rush OF
new receipts is in sight.
Although production is ahead OF
last years at this time the car
makers are meeting numerous in
| terruptions due to materials short
ages and minor labor troubles, I'm
l. like 1947 there probably will be no
rush of output during the latter
months of this year.
Shortage to Continue.
Most industry sources agree this
years end will find the industry
still far from a balance between
supply and demand. The manu-
facturers' books still show an un-
filed order backlog totaling more
than 100000 units. At the same
time their sales chiefs report new
orders accumulating faster than de-
liveries are being made.
Up until today the United States
factories have turned out almost
10 100000 postwar cars and trucks.
This volume includes about 100000
passenger vehicles.
From this output the industry
has had to meet demand that has
been piling up since early 1912 when
peacetime production was halted.
Normal replacement demand alone
would have required close to l5,OO0,-
900 cars over that period.
There is a wide divergence of
opinion in trade circles, however,
as to now long the present situation
can continue in the automobile
market. Some models in the upper
medium price brackets can be had
on relatively short notice, but there
isn't very wide choice of makes
in this group.
Estimates Vary.
Market researchers for one lead
ing producer in the volume field
have come up with figures designed
