 up by U. 5. Marsha!

FAIRBANKS, Alaska July 13-tP "A hitch-hiker's boast that he knew good bargain" including some gambling equipment boom eranged yesterday in the court of lU. s. Commissioner Everette Smith.
 The boast was made last Saturday night by Edward Campbell, who didn't learn until yesterday that the driver who picked him up was U. S. Marshal Stanley J. Nichols. Nichols seized 100 sets of "squee- zers"-dice manufactured to favor certain nations-Sunday, and ! deputies and military police trailed Campbell to the civilian camp area at Ladd Field to break up gamb- Hing game.

 The raid was the second in less than week in which games were broken up in Ladd Field latrines. Three Fairbanks residents were fined from $100 to $50 on their plea of guilty to charge of run ming gambling games in the earlier raid
 The drive is part of a current campaign prompted by the warning of Brig Gen. Dale " Gatfney that unless this wide open town is cleaned up, he will declare the city off limits to troops Gen. Gaffney is Commanding Officer of the Yukon Composite Wing with headquarters at Ladd Field.

Alaska Freight Rates May Go
 Up If Any Change Is Made by M(;; Skinner Denies Assertions

SEATTLE, July 13-lR-Any change by the Maritime Commission in the recently expired Alaska ship ping program probably will result in increased rates to Alaska, G. w Skinner, President of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, said today.
 Skinner, who also is part owner of the Northland Transportation Co.,, made the statement in connec- tion with a flat denial of assertions that the recent program had been a gravy train"
 Benefits from the program have gone to Alaska as reduced rates, Skinner asserted.
 The operators have certainly made no gravy train profits out of the postwar shipping program, y he said
 The gravy train" allegation was made by Maritime Commissioner Grenville Mellen in announcing The blishment of Alaska shipping on commercial basis. '
 Mellen said at Washington, D. G., yesterday that the commission has no formal consideration for new Alaska ship program. It will with hold action, he said, until it has received formal applications from the four Seattle-Alaska line for eight-month extensions as approved by Congress.
 The new law, however, substitutes may" for shall in proposing a shipping program similar to the old one.
 Mellen said the old agreement provided the companies with goy- ernment-owned ships at Sl a year charter hire with the government required to ca,ry full insurance costs, not only on it's ships, but on privately owned vessels too.

 PHILADELPHIA = Should the warning Democrats happen to com promise their differences by pick ing Justice William Orville Doug las as their Presidential or Vice. Presidential candidate, an old, old rivalry with Tom Dewey would be revived.
 For Dewey and Douglas were members of the same class at the Columbia Law School. Douglas at the top of the class, Dewey not so near the top, with both rivals in law-school debates. FDR, who had to run against Dewey in 1914, al- ways said that one reason he liked to have Bill Douglas around was because he knew how to get the best of Dewey.
 Should the Democratic light ming strike Douglas at Philadel- phia, it would bring belated full fillment of Roosevelts original wishes--four years late. For at the 1914 convention which finally nominated Harry Truman as Vice.

RAW STEAK MAkE5HITAT
 CONVENTION
Lady, Wearing Diamonds. Making Speech, Gets
 Demos in Good Humor
(By RELMAN MORIN

PHILADELPHIA, July l3.-R- This is about a raw steak, held aloft in the dainty hands of a lady wearing diamonds.
 The Democrats are feeling a little stronger today because of this steak, plus some salty oratory and 28 minutes of strenuous exercise in the steam room.
 Of course, they still lack a Pres idential candidate who will be &C., ceptable to all sections of the party. But they may have found the nominee for Vice President, Of whom more will be said later.
 First of all, the steaa.
 It was a real one, a medium sized sirloin, raw, red, limp and damp. It was introduced in evl- dence, so to speak, by Mrs. India Edwards, chairman of the Women's Division of the National Commit tee. She was proving a point with it.
 Has It In Bag
 Mrs. Edwards. handsome and fashionable in after-dinner black brought a market bag with her last night, when she made her speech blaming the Republicans for the high cost of food. The bag con- tained quart of milk, pound of margarine-and the red meat
 The price of each was stated by the speaker And if her object was to startle her hearers with the steak, she achieved it in full mea- sure. They gasped gulped, then laughed and cheered
 It hung in her hand, oozing limp ly down between her fingers, and partly obscuring the diamond rings that glittered and twinkled in the bright klieg lights. It looked somehow, like red jellyfish stuck on a trident encrusted with jewels.
 Tells Price Paid
 Mrs. Edwards told her audience how much she had paid for it. Then she put it down on the ros- trum beside her Because of the slant in the rostrum, the steak began to creep downhill until it was dripping partly, over the edge.
 She retrieved it, to the delight of the photographers. who asked her to hold it up again flor just one more" Mrs. Edwards compiled.
 Mrs. Edwards steak and the roll ing periods of Senator Alben w. Barkley's keynote speech, delivered just before, put the Democrats in a mood they have not known since the convention began.
 The Senator is a square-set, barrel bodied man with white hair and flinty, fighting face. He de- livered fighting speech, and it was just what the strife-torn Dem ocrats wanted to hear.
