Policies Of

 Criticised
Presidential Aspirants Dewey, Wallace Ad-
 dress Seattle Crowds

SEATTLE, May 22-tR -Presiden- tial aspirants Gov. Thomas E. Dew ey and Henry A. Wallace, speaking to separate applauding crowds, joined last night in criticism of the Truman administratiQn's problems. of International problems.
 Wallace charged that as a result of government action in Greece, China and Palestine we have blood on our hands"
 Dewey contended that the ad- ministration was fumbling at its job of trying to cure the war breeding ills of divided Europe.
 Dewey spoke in an auditorium damned with 5000 persons. Hun dreds had to stand.
 Six thousand turned out in a high school stadium and waited through a long program in a chill wind to hear Wallace speak
 In his address, Dewey asserted that the United States has the opportunity of all history in our hands" to cure the spawning of wars in Europe He recommended a United States of Europe as the means. He said strong national leadership was needed to bring it about.
 Dewey's Seattle supporters had reported in advance that his speech would deal with Alaska and the nations Far East responsibilities He did not mention either subject in his 35-minute address. His Press Secretary said later that Dewey never had made any announcement that he planned to speak on those subjects)
 A mile across the city, Wallace hit at Dewey as candidate who has come out in favor of cold war"
 Tt is time to repudiate this man." he said
 Turning to the country's foreign policy, he declared that "the poli- cies of Truman, Vandenberg. Mar shall and Forrestal have stained the world with blood and have laid the foundation for the greatest bloodshed the world has ever seen

STRIKE OF {. MEAT MEN
 ENDED NOW
Nine-Cent an Hour Wage Boost Accepted in Three
 of Four Big Plants
CBy The Associated Press)

The nationwide meat strike is over against all but one of the four major packers. But prospects for settling the railroad dispute have dimmed.
 The 10-weeks old strike of the CIO United Clearinghouse Workers Union ended yesterday against Swift, Armour and Cudahy when the union accepted the nine cents an hour wage increase originally offered by the companies. The workers had struck for 29 cents.
 The strike, which saw some vio- lence, will continue at seven Will son plants, which normally em- ploy about 5000 persons. The un- ion contended that Wilson insist ed on reserving the right to re- employ strikers and refused to re- hire strikers charged with unlaw- ful acts during the strike.
 Cost of the strike ran into mil lions of dollars. But there was no severe meat shortage to consum- CTS.
 In the dispute between the na- tion's railroads and three operatr ing unions, negotiations collapsed yesterday and long period of road operation under Army con trol seemed probable.
 Company and union leaders are deadlocked not only over working rules and wages, but also over the meaning and intent of the Railway Labor Act. They differed ovef whether the parties to dispute have a responsibility to accept recommendation of emergency boards appointed by the President as the final step in the procedure of settling a dispute.

ACTON ON BID POSTPONED BY
 CITY COUNCIL
Teen Age Club Gets Sup. port from City-ManY
 Items Discussed

The Juneau City Council took action on some things and delayed action on other items at it's regu- lar meeting in the City Council Chambers last night.
 After considerable discussion on the R. J. Sommers Construction Go. bid of $l80,OOO for the con struction of a City Fire Hall and Jail, it was decided to delay ac- ceptance or rejection of the bid until the next regular Council meeting. The City has only $l25,00O for this project and it felt that more consideration should be giv- en to the problem before mak- ing a final rejection of the bid.
 In the meantime, the Council passed, on it's final reading, an ordinance authorizing the sale of S125,0O0 in bonds for this project and $150,000 in bonds for street improvements.
 School Budget Comes Up
 A lengthy discussion on the pro- posed budget of the Independent School District ended with no ac- ton taken because the City's share of the budget won't be known un- til an appraisal of the rural area is complete. There were some ob- jections to certain portions of the budget by the Council but it is not authorized to approve budget items. The law permits the Coun- cil to act only on the City's share of the total.
 Object of the Councils atten- tion was a S2,000 annual raise for the Superintendent of Schools, giv- iEsg isssfs sss.ssss ssssf... of f sS'l2 aasa a1a S11,0oO contingency fund The to- tai budget is $258, ,931.0l Of this amount, the Territory would refund $l44,366.75 and the Dis trict would be obligated for the balance of $115,564.26.
 llc QlSpOodl Ol tAiS NAe5 pSA@oOA buildings was referred to the City Property Committee for a decis- ion on either a sale or rental proposition. The Mayor was au- thorized to borrow up to $50,000 until September if necessary in order to meet the Citys school ob- legations pending receipt of Terri torial funds.
 Teen-Age Gets Help

4 NORTHWEST. STATES LOOK.
 FOR HOODS.
(By The Associated Press)

Rising rivers in four northwest states created tension today in areas threatened by floods.
 Northern Idaho and Western Montana were first to feel the fierce of heavy runoffs from the mountain snow packs, but Wash ington and oregon residents also were watching the river gauges.
 Reports from St. Regis, Mont, said the town was partially under water and the South Fork of the Clark Fork River was threatening bridge on U. S. Highway No. 10. The town is 30 miles east of the Idaho- Montana line.
 In Missoula, Mont, some low lands and roads were flooded, and water poured into basements in some neighborhoods as the Missoula River reached it's high est stage since the 1908 flood The river still was rising.
 Bonners Ferry, Idaho. residents watched the Kootenai River creep an inch an hour toward the top of 3l-foot dikes guarding the town and 10000 acres of farm land. The weather bureau predicted the riv- CT would reach the 30-foot mark today and go over the dikes in the next few days. The Army Corps of Engineers dispatched 220 soldiers from Fort Lewis to help save the dikes.
 In Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington, the St. Joe, Snake, Clearwater and Spokane Rivers hit new peaks for the year. The ris- ing tributaries were forcing up the level of the mighty Columbia.
 Cloudbursts in Southeastern and central Washington added to the damage caused farther east by melting snow. Floods near Ellens- burg, Wash, knocked out six bridges and closed several county roads.
 A cloudburst at Davenport, Wash, left water six to 12 inches deep in the Main street, disrupted power facilities for 30 minutes and took a heavy erosion toll in wheat fields.

VASHINGTON-Dead men tell no tales. That was why Greek terrorists tied the hands and feet of George Polk, CBS correspondent, shot him in the back and dumped him into Salonike harbor. Polk couldn't struggle much. His back had been broken when he crash landed at Guadalcanal and his spine was patched with metal plates.
 George had been severely criti- cal of the Greek rightist regime and so, because dead men. tell no tales, he was bumped off.
 However, from the blue, dead lips of George Polk comes a tale which may shake the graft-ridden Greek Government to it's rotten core. Certainly it will tell the American taxpayer what they are entitled to know about the millions of dollars they have dumped into Greece.
 For what the murderers of George Polk did not know was that he had written letters before his death-letters which still live.
 We are fighting tough battle over here" Polk wrote me before his death. My feeling about Greece is that we should get in or get out all the way. The situation is too grave for half measures.
 Of course, the State Depart ment hopes to slave off drastic de-
