Protest lodged Against Granting Canadian Lines
 Certain Privileges, Alaska

SEATTLE, Feb. l6.- R Details cf a protest against pending Sen ate legislation which would permit transportation of passengers by Canadian vessels between Alaska ports were revealed today by F A. Zeusler, executive assistant to the president of Alaska Steamship Co.
 The legislation, Senate bill 1884. also would permit transportation Of merchandise via Canadian rail and water routes from the contln- ental United States to Alaska ports.
 zeualers protest was made in a letter last December to Sen Hugh Butler of Nebraska, who introduced the bill following tour last sum- mer of Alaska.
 Because Canadian labor costs are much lower than these of Ameri- can vessels, the bill would result il driving American ships from the Alaska trade, zeusler wrote.
 He outlined the long establish ed national policy of excluding foreign ships from participating in ccastal trade; sketched the war t.ine service of the Alaska lines under government control, and pointed to their efforts to re- establish themselves on a compen- satory pre-war basis in the face of replacement difficulties and rising labor costs
 He recommended the bill not be passed for these reasons
 1. The policy of promoting the American Merchant Marine should be continued because of its proven worth.
 ?. A reduction of the American Merchant fleet potential for future emergencies would harm national security.
 3. There is no assurance the proposed revision og the coastal shipping laws would give better Alaska service, and because of the lack of obligation of foreign countries to serve any but the most profitable routes, poorer service night result
 4. The Alaska service can be adequately fulfilled by American shipping
 5. Companies which served well during the war should not be aban- dcned in peace.
 6. American companies should be encouraged to return service to the compensatory basis which ex- isted pricr to wartime government operation of the lines

 EE ASHINGTON n. Boss of the Bronx Ed Flynn, who had great deal to do with picking Harry Truman for Vice President at Chicago. has a queer complex about liberalism. He has repeatedly urged Truman to appoint a Negro as Federal Judge in New York in order to attract the Negro vote, yet he turns round and tries to under cut a Government agency which protects the economic welfare of both Negroes mad whites.
 This is what the charming Ed was up to when he visited at the White House last week.
 His visit was aimed at persuad- ing Truman to appoint Paul Row en ol Boston to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and simul- taneously to make Ed Hanrahan of New York chairman
