For Magazine Story
On Hackers Dismissed

! Justice Alexander Holtzoff Of Dis
trict Court has dismissed $4o0, 900
libel suit, growing out Of an article
In the Saturday Evening Post about
Washington taxicab drivers.
Justice Holtzof refused. however,
10 dismiss a $4,000 suit brought In
connection with the same article
by a woman taxicab driver, who
said a picture that appeared with
the article was one Of her.
Both suits name as defendants,
James J. Brennan, author OF the
article, and the Curtis Publishing
Co, publishers Of the magazine.
Z The 100000 suit was brought by
Thomas w. Fowler, owner Of thel
columbia Cab Co., who asked $l00..
900 damages, and by Charles B.
Howery, a driver, who said he was
suing in behalf Of himself and 59I
other drivers. Mr.. Howery asked
100000 damages.
7 Justice Holtzof ruled Mr.. Fowler
had no cause of action because he
Is a taxicab owner while the article
was about drivers. At the same
time, the court ruled, Mr.. Howery
had no grounds for suit.
! I'm case of a defamatory publica-
ton directed against class, with
out In any way identifying anyl
specific individual, no individual
member of the group has redress,
Justice Holtzoff said.

Meat Plentiful
 Along Arctic Coast

SEATTLE, R)-Eskimos with rifles and white physicians with their needles have ended a sum- mer's hunting which should leave the north coast people much bet ter prepared for the Arctic win ter, the Alaska native service re- ported.
 Native hunters at Wainwright and Point Barrow brought in tons of walrus and seal meat and it ap- pears they will have enough to tide them over the winter. Birds were plentiful, ducks and geese falling to the hunters guns every day. During the season, Point Barrow traders also sold four po- lar bear cubs to Outside" zoos.
 An Alaska Native Service phy- sician also travelled from Point Barrow to Wainwright, 125 miles to the southeast, and to the Meade River coal mine, 78 miles from Barrow, on an anti-tuberculOSiS crusade. Working with Dr. Joseph D. Aronson of the Philipps Insti- tite of Philadelphia, Dr. William B. Carr of Point Barrow saw to it that 250 Eskimo children were

Truck Strike
 Paralyzing N. Y. C.

NEW YORK, (P)-New York's intricate economic lifelines were snarled yesterday by a walkout of 9,400 AFL truck drivers that threatened to spread to 30,000 other truckers in the metropolitan area.
 The walkout, which began at midnight Tuesday, crippled much of the city's widespread trucking operations. To prevent piling up of merchandise in rail yards, an embargo was clamped on all rail- road freight headed for the metro politan area.
 Most retail outlets had adequate stocks on hand. But the effects of thinning supply lines already were felt by many stores. A few firms, cut off from deliveries, closed their doors.

Woman Won't Testify on Anything Before Grand
 Jury in Spy Case

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-IR-A surprise woman witness refused to tell Congressional spy investiga- tors today whether she is or has been Communist or knows any of the witnesses who have testified at previous hearings.

 Mrs Bachrach was put on the witness stand at a public hearing of the House Un- American Activities Committee after brief session with committee members behind closed doors.
 Presumably, she was the mystery witness that the committee mem- bers had told reporters would ap- pear and be "a very important" one in their sitting of charges that 8 Red spy ring operated in Washing ton and obtained secret state de- partment papers in the 1930s.

PAY BOOST T05AlL0RS
 IS OFFERED
Proposal fo Be Submitted to Membership Other
 Agreements Made

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-tRt- An employer offer of $16 to S35 month increase in pay will be presented to the membership of the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific.
 Harry Lundeberg, union executive secretary, received the offer yester- day in negotiations with the Pacific Anne ic a n Shipowners Association and called it insufficient" But he agreed to submit it to vote.
 The S16 raise to $186 month would be for ordinary seamen. More skilled workers would get larger toosts, with the S35 to bring some classes of boatswains up to $325 a month.
 The union had asked increases from $20 to $60 month. Lundeberg has said the $21 a month average increase won by the CIO marit me unions in the recent West Coast strike, was not enough for the SUP.
 Meantime the CIO marine cooks and independent firemen reached a tentative agreement with shipown- CTS on wages, hours and conditions aboard vessels engaged in the coast wise-Alaska service.
 The cooks also reached an agree ment on wages and working condl- tions with steam schooner opera tors The firemen baked on the of- fer and still were negotiating. / The Cooks coastwise- Alaska peace talks called for S2l per month wage increase and general improve ment in living and working cond!- tions.
