By CHARLES D. HAWKINS

By CHARLES D. HAWKINS
 WASHINGTON, June 9-tR- The temporary plan for operating steamship service to Alaska may be allowed to expire June 30.
 The law enacted year ago all lowed the Maritime Commission to charter Government-owned ships to ship operators at dollar year with the Government paying the insurance.
 Rep. Weichel tR-Ohio), chairman of the House Merchant Marine Committee, told reporter today that extension of the temporary law is not needed. His committee would have to approve an exten- sion.
 He said the commission has un- til next February 28 authority to institute general agency operation of steamships to Alaska as was done during the war or can charter ships to the Alaska operator at BE- percent of their value under the ship sales law
 Temporary Plan
 At the time the temporary plan for hlsskan oneratietls. was adopt < ed the authority of the commis- sion to institute general agency op- eration of charter vessels had ex- pired, Weichel said. Since that time the authority was renewed by Congress until the end of next Feb ruary.
 General agency operation is that in which the commission designates certain operators to use govern ment-owned ships, pays them the cost of the operation and takes the profits for the government.
 Weichels statement was made after the Senate Commerce Com mittee had approved extension of the temporary Alaska law until next February 28.
 The legislation is the same as that approved by the House Mer- chant Marine Subcommittee but not yet approved by the full House committee.
 Operators Contention
 Ship operators have contended that if they charter ships from the government it will cause an in crease in rates to the Territory to provide for, the additional cost of chartering as compared to the cost under operation of the dollar-a- year ships.

JERUSALEM, Tuesday, June g. lR-It had seemed incongruous in the first place to hear little Jew ish boy about nine whistling Only Five Minutes More"
 He strolled along in tennis shoes shorts and a blue blouse.
 An Arab mortar salvo began. Five of them fell 30 yards away and the little boy and 1.-the only persons on the street-lay flat alongside a high wall. The sixth one fell short and hit the street only 10 yards away from us. Lucky, I thought only an incendiary.
 Then I heard the little boy scream once and go quiet. sprinted to him and saw a pool of blood.
 Where are you hit?'
 He answered calmly: T am going to die
 There were flecks of blood in the frotn which appeared on his lips. A Haganah staff ear raced down the street. I stopped 1t. We loaded the little boy into the car He didn't cry We hurried him to the hospital. The nurses and doctors worked on him tut soon stopped.
 He was dead.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, June g --lR-State Penitentiary activities wc.e back on a normal basis to- day, Warden Tom Smith said, af- ter two prisoner uprisings within 24 hours.
 Both were caused by food short ages, and both were controlled without bodily violence.
 First of the two disturbances oc- cured Sunday night when short age of cookies caused number of prisoners to throw dishes and other utensils during the evening meal.
 Monday night, about 25 inmates rushed into the kitchen after one had thrown bowl of potato salad at guard in the dining room Some of the equipment was smash ed and food was spilled around the kitchen.
 Smith said no other inmates joined the kitchen rioters after additional guards were called. :.
 He said the trouble was caused by a shortage of meat and pota- toes for the meal. Flood conditions in the Northwest have prevented normal rail and truck deliveries, the superintendent reported.

 Talks Straight Out
By ERNEST B. vACCARO

ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO SPOKANE, Wash. June 9.-lR-P President Truman to- day challenged the Republicans to keep Congress in session until price control, housing and farm bills are passed.
 He made a slashing attack on the Republican Congressional lead- ership, mentioning the opposition party for the first time since he left Washington last Thursday on a western tour.
 The attack came in an address at Butte, Mont. last night.
 It stripped the last traces of political atmosphere from the Presidents western campaign tour
 The President charged that Con eress under Republican domination, had wrecked price control. stymied the housing program, virtually dLCliSiltd IilS idpci 0cPoi eiiaeAaei tried to tear up the employment act of l946, torn the budget apart, and practiced economy in the r1- verse;
 Congress weakened the Labor De- partment, MT. Truman declared, after the Republicans had said in their platform they were going to make a strong Labor Department. The Republican platform, he add ed, lis the platform of the Con- gress now"
 "One of our candidates for Pres ident has said the best way to con- trol prices was not to buy MT. Truman said. He did not identify the candidate, but added: T guess he would let you starve don't know. l am not in that class
 The President will be the guest at Olympia tonight and tomorrow of Gov. Mon c. Wallgren, frequent ly talked of as a candidate for the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomination.
 MT. Truman got out of bed at Missoula, Mona, and clad in pa jamas and robe, greeted the crowd that met his train.
 T understand it was announced that I would speak here. I am sorry had gone to bed" he apol- ogized. But, though I would let you see what look like, even if I don't have on my clothes

SEATTLE, June 9-R-Like a bus trip to Alaska? The service is available up the Alaska Highway now.
 Northwest Greyhound Lines, in a letter to it's agents, suggests, how ever, that travellers be advised not to wear their best clothes.
 A Northwest Greyhound official explained that the line does not operate to Alaska; it only sells tick cts for the trip. Greyhound buses carry passengers to Passport. Idaho. Western Canadian Greyhound car ries them on 10 Edmonton, Alta.
 From there, She company official said: The service is disconnected That means yea travel by day and stop over by night. The passenger must p=..- .or his own meals and rooms along the route" Canadian Coachways takes the travellers to Dawson Creek. Another Canadian carrier fills the gap into Yukon Territory. From Whitehorse, both OHarra and University Bus Lines operate into Alaska.
 The fare to Fairbanks is $ll6.O5, plus tax and plus room and board along the way. It's S140.60 to An chorage on the same basis.
 The Greyhound official said re- ports to date in this first month of operation have shown the bus serv- ice running oh schedule.

 SITUATION IS ALSO SERIOUS
Eastern Barriers Getting Softer . Grim Picture
 Is Now Presented

PORTLAND. June 9.-lR--The Columbia and Fraser Rivers cut deeper today into soggy dikes on the Pacific Northwest's far-flung ilcod front The situation grew more critical by the hour
 A new breakthrough in the lower valley of the Columbia drowned Puget Island Other earthen bar riers along the swollen rivers l00- mile stretch run from Portland to the Pacific were getting softer, saturated by 2l days of watery assault U S. Army engineers called their condition very criti- cal.
 Canadian Navy forces stood by fer evacuation of critical sectors along the Fraser where the river collides with high tides coming in from the sea.
 Here is the grim picture for Oregon. Washington, Idaho. Mon tana and British Columbia
 Thirty dead Vanport, war hous- ing city near Portland. yielded two mere bodies yesterday. This brought the total of known dead to four ill the Memorial Day disaster which wiped out the city of i8,7o0. Hlndreds still missing The Red Cross reported 300 persons unac- counted for since the flooding of Vanport The number was decreas- ing, however It was 7l5 Monday, s45 yesterday.
 Sixty thousand homeless. The number may be higher now due to breakthroughs of She laEs few days.
 Damage in the millions and growing daily. Days ago, qualified sources put the total at perhaps $140, 100000. but thousands of acres in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia have gone under since then. Floodwaters now cover about $50 square miles in the U. s. sec tor alone--more than half the area of Rhode Island.

 AT CONGRESS
Also Invites Labor 10 Pro- test 10 Taft-HartIey
 Act at Polls
By DOUGLAS CORNELL


 ENROUTE WITH TR U M A N THROUGH WASHINGTON, June 9 --tR President Truman made a Llistering attack on the Republican dominated Congress today and in- vited labor to protest the Taft-Hart- ley Act at the polls in. November.
 This is the worst Congress we lave had since the first one met, the President told reporter at lis train in Spokane, Wash
 This jab, the sharpest yet deliy- cred cn his s-country trip, fol- lowed the remark in a Spokane Civic celebration speech that people deserved a continuance of the pres ent Congress if they failed to act in November.
 And at an unscheduled appear ance before the National Convention of the Communication Workers of America, independent. in Spokane he said of the Taft-Hartley Labor Law.
 Your only remedy is November, 1948. and if you continue that law in effect, this is your fault and not mine, tecause I didn't want 1t.
 Leaving Spokane to visit Grand Coulee Dam, the President said the flooding Columbia River can be con- trolled, but not as long as there is a Congress that believes with Dan iel Webster that the West is no good"

WASHINGTON = Here is how carefully Republican leaders in the House of Representative watched the Housing bill in order to keep it bottled up in Wolcott's Banking and Currency Committee.
 To get it out of committee, Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, Democrat of California, was pushing discharge petition which would force the committee to discharge the bill. Walking over to the Speakers table last week, COP Congressman Les Arends of Illinois checked over the list of Housing bill signers. then whisp- cred to COP leader Halleck of In- diana.
 Together they beckoned to COP Congressman Boggs of Delaware, asked why he had signed the Housing petition. Boggs protested that he hadn't signed Arends had made a mistake It was Boggs of Louisiana, a Democrat, who had signed
