Coast Guard Finds Seiner Crew After Search

KETCHIKAN CP)-Coast guard searchers found the six man crew of the Ill-fated seiner RuStler safe ashore after an all night search of Southeastern Alaska waters. A tender is taking them to Ketchikan. The RuStler is report ed aground off Ritter Point, where the crew spent the night after an sos boat sinking. The captain is Jimmy Young Craig. The boat is owned by the Nakat Packing cor poration.
 Yesterday planes and surface vessels searched the storm-lashed Pacific off the Southeastern Alas ka coast for the crew of the seiner Rustler, which sank during the night.
 An SOS went. out at 8:15 Mon day just before the Rustler went down, which said the crew would attempt to ride out the gale in an out-board-poWered tender.
 Help was asked at once since there was doubt that the small open boat could long survive in the towering seas. The distress call gave no further information after listing the seiner's position.

Railroads Prepare For West Coast
 Freight Embargo

WASHINGTON, (P)-The rail- roads today prepared to clamp an embargo on virtually all freight destined for the Orient from West Coast ports if maritime work stoppage develops there tomor- row as threatened.
 Plans for the embargo were an nounced by Arthur H. Class, chairman of the car service divi- sion of the Association of Ameri- can Railroads.
 Gass said the embargo is pro- tective measure to prevent freight cars being tied up a western ports in case of a maritime work stop page. If the work stoppage does not occur, the embargo will be withdrawn at once, he said.
 Gass said classes of freight ex- empt from the embargo include:
 Freight consigned to the army, navy, air force, marine corps or coast guard.
 Freight where shipping space is available and for which special permits have been issued by west coast representative of the car service division of the A.A.R.

Many Issues Still Hang Fire In
 Shipping Strike

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - An agreement on the thorny hiring hall issue appeared in sight yes terday but labor peace on Pa cific Coast waterfront still hung precariously as the 12:O1 Thurs day strike deadline neared.
 Waterfront employers and the CIO international longshoremen's and Warehousemen's union still were far apart on the wage ques- ton, among others.
 The employers late Monday raised their offer two cents to 10 cents an hour straight time and 15 cents overtime in an effort to forestall the threatened walkout, but the union insisted on IS cents and 27 cents.
 An ILWU statement said the employer offer did not provide for retroactivity and did not con- tain "the usual periodical wage reviews"
 On the hiring hall issue, the ILWU said "an agreement in principal was reached"

ANS North Star On Last Trip North

SEATTLE, (4) - The lit e wooden motorship North Star, veteran of the Arctic and Antarc- tic, may be making her final voy- age to the north for the Alaska Native Service. She sailed from Seattle last month for northern outpoSts.
 Acquisition of newer and larger cargo ship, the Coastal Rider, by the government service was approved by the maritime commission a report received here said.
 The commission reportedly ap- proved the transfer of the Coastal Rider from jurisdiction of the maritime commission to the de- partment of interoir for use by the Alaska Native Service.
 The deal had been pending for weeks. It was a well known fact that the 1,450-ton North Star, which has been serving the route for 16 years, was too small tC carry the increased supplies tC Alaskan Indian villages and gov ernment bases.
 The future of the sturdy North Star is indefinite, officials of the Native Service said. It is under stood that the Coastal Rider will require considerable alteration for the Native Service trade.

War Dead Returned
To U. 5. Will Number
$1,000 by Friday

A total of 1880 World War II
war dead will have been returned
from overseas cemeteries by Friday
and 10000 will have arrived by the
end of the year, Brig. Gen. Kester L.
Hastings, chief of the Army Quar-
termaster Corps Memorial Division,
said today.
approximately 10000 are ex-
pected to be returned before the
program is completed.
All World War II temporary mill
tary cemeteries overseas will be
closed out by the end Of November
and the IL regional distribution
centers in the United States will be
consolidated into six at that time,
Gen. Hasting said. One Of the cen
tiers affected is at Philadelphia
where dead with relatives in the
District, Maryland and Virginia
have been handled previously.
BY the end of November the only
overseas cemeteries remaining will
be IA designated as permanent and
two in outlying possessions to be
known as national cemeteries.
Gen. Hastings estimated that the
combined Army Navy, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force
deaths during the war at 358,967.
There were 275,762 burials in tenn
porary cemeteries and the bodies of
83.205 have not been recovered.
OF those buried overseas, 1882
are carried on the Quartermaster
Generals records as unknown.
The estimated 10000 dead to be
returned to this country represent
about 54 per cent Of those recover
able, Gen. Hastings said. Success

turned may increase this figure, he

CONSULTATIONS,
Holy Land

Leading experts on global anat-
omy were getting together in con-
sultation to determine whether there
was any conceivable way in which
they could perform painless bisec-
ton of Palestine.
Russia, France, China and the
u. S. had been requested by the
United Nations security council to
hold one of their famous conferences
to study how partition of the Holy
Land into Independent Arab and
Jewish states might be effected.
Britain, too, had been asked to par
ticipate but declined the invitation,
although consenting to sit in in the
role Of advisor.
AS the consultation got under
way, the United States was report
ed ready to seek big power agree
ment on new Cancellation effort in
Palestine. Warren r. Austin, chief
u. S. delegate, said he felt the talks
should deal primarily with the ques-
ton of peaceful settlement"
But while u. N. delegates might
talk in New York about a peaceful
settlement, Arab military forces on
the spot in Palestine had vastly
different ideas.
Arab Commander-in-Chief Fawzi
Ell Kawkji publicly issued a vow to
free Palestine from "the zionist
menace whether it takes one month,
one year or generation"
Red-haired Ell Kawkji, the Arab
chieftain who had led anti-British
and anti-Jewish revolts in 1886 and
1889, had just returned to Palestine
after an absence of nine years. He
came back, he said, to fight "parti-
ton, intrigue and zionism."
eve came here to fight anyone
who stands for partition, be they
British, Jewish or an international
force"

RUHR:
Solution

One of the major problems of the
uneasy peace-what to do with the
Ruhr, Germany's prime industrial
section-was solved when the U. S.,
Great Britain and France agreed in
a series of conferences at London
that they would place the Ruhr un-
der international control.
It was decided also that the eco
nomic and industrial assets of west
ern Germany, perennial breeding
ground for German war machines,
would be enlisted in the Marshall
plan for European recovery.
Moreover, the western powers
agreed that western Germany
should have a federal form Of gov
eminent, providing adequate central
authority but protecting the rights
of the various states.
Indicative of the manner in which
statesmen of the western powers are
thinking now was the fact that Ger
many will be represented in the in
ternational control of the Ruhr but
that Russia very probably will not.
Recognizing the Importance of the
Ruhr to the recurring surges of
German aggression, the conference
conmunique pointed out that "the
purpose of this international control
would be to ensure that the eco
nomic resources of this area should
not again be used for the purposes
of aggression and that there should
be adequate access to the coal, coke
and steel of the Ruhr for the benefit
of extensive parts of the European
community including Germany"
The communique urged the the
cessity of insuring the economic re-
construction Of western Europe, in
Guiding Germany.
