ALEXANDER
 I5CHARGED, ]. MISCONDUCT
Danger of Admitting Com munists Comes to Head
 -Stdte Dept. Acts

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.--tR-- Robert c. Alexander, who disagreed with Secretary of State Marshall over the danger of admitting Com raunists to this country through the United Nations. has been charged with misconduct and ne- glect of duty.
 The State Department has pre- sented the charges in a letter to Alexander, who is assistant chief of the visa division.
 Officials said the action is the first of a series of steps which Icould result in disciplinary action, possibly including dismissal. Alexander and two other visa di- vision officials testified before Sen- ate Judiciary Committee investiga- tors two months ago that there was a threat to the national se- Icurity in the admission into the U. s. of aliens from Communist tOiitlOllNQ SOQit. da SitPAOy NS' oI the Unite Nations.
 Subsequently Secretary of State Marshall told news conference he knew of no case in which in -vestigation had showed that there was any such threat.
 Marshall named committee of three Washington citizens, however, to investigate the situation. Their report presumably lays the basis for some of the charges which the Department has formally brought.
 This report said Alexander and 'fiis associates "aad never made a persistent effort to bring to the attention of top Department off cials the condition about which they testified they were disturbed.
 The committee also said that their testimony as irresponsible ill its lack of factual support"

By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.--iP The United States Bomber Forcl has licked the problem of operat- ing in the Stormy s1is ssratggi icssll5 vital Arctic. Fits chief disclosed to- lday.
 Gen. George c. Kenney, boss oi the strategic air command. saio crews have now learned how to fly P-29s with high efficiency in the citter cold up near the top of the world.
 Last winter we took all the mys- tery out of flying B-29s in the Arctic he said in an interview.
 The generals comment pointed up the major importance strate- gists attach to the polar regions, the short air road between three continents.
 "The main thing you need for Arctic operations, Kenney said, lis just about twice as many peo- pie because a mans efficiency there lis just about half of normal"
 This was demonstrated, be said, by the exhaustive studies, tests and training during which superfort- 'ress crews in Alaska actually flew more hours than groups in the United States.
 Failure of equipment in the Arctic training, however. was pared down until it was no greater than lit was for bombers operating over the deserts of the southwestern United States.
 Kenney had no comment on the status of the polar bastion's other air defense-fighter protection warning networks, anti-aircraft and garrisons except to say that "the situation has improved slightly

 K REMAIN IN FORCE
JurisdietionaI Case Over Pieketing Is Given Su-
 perior Court Ruling

SEATTLE, Sept. 15.--lR- The re- strainer obtained against picket ing of the motor vessel Argo in a jurisdictional dispute will remain in force for the present, Superior Judge Robert M. Jones ruled yes- terday.
 The Pacific Navigation and Trading Co, Inc, which operates the 450-teu ex-navy tanker, ob- tained the restrainer some weeks ago when Local 98 of the Mas ters, Mates and Pilots (offshore) began picketing because the Argo is manned by Local dnland) of the same international union.
 The company expects to use the ship in inland waters but in cer- tain seasons has been hauling fish oil in from Alaska, which caused the offshore local to demand juris- diction. The inland local has been supplying the licensed personnel for the ship, but occasionally us- ing members of the offshore local. For the past couple of months all the deck officers have been mem bers of the inland local.
 Though the little Norris-La- Guardia Act prohibits issuance of in labor disputes, Judge James pointed out that the Su- preme Court of this state, con trary to rulings of the U S, Su- preme Court, has held this prohibi- ton doesn't apply where employees of the shop tor ship being picket ed are not members of the picket ing union.
 So the restrainer will remain in effect pending trial of the suit on it's lherits.
