Cruening Speaks For Competitive
 Alaska Shipping

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., R)- Canadian competition in freight shipments to Alaska would be one likely result of Alaska's rise to statehood, Governor Ernest Greun- ing predicted here today.
 Increased use of Canadian ship ping and the strategically-situated Port of Prince Rupert would help relieve the northern Territory's "recurrent marine transportation dilemmas," he said.
 Gov. Gruening stopped here on route to Washington, D. C., where he will confer with President Tru- man on shipping and other Alaska problems.
 At Pacific Northwest Trade as- sociation conference held in Port land, Ore, this week, Gov. Greun- ing was taken to task for his ad- vocacy of the need for competitive steamship service to Alaska.
 He accused his attacker, F. A. Zeusler, Alaska Steamship com pany executive, of speaking as a company employee and "solely in the interests of the company"
 The current "transportation di- lemma is due to the United States west-coast shipping strike. Canadi- an ships cannot fill the breach be-

(By Charles Molony)

WASHINGTON, (P-President Truman will renew with vigor next year his plea for higher pos tai rates to help balance the bud get, those in the know said today.
 The postoffice department now seems likely to wind up $500,000,- 900 in the red next June 30-an unprecedented loss which would account for more than a third of the deficit forecast for the entire governments operation this fiscal year.
 Officials told reporter private ly the increases most certain to be proposed will involve second class mail-made up chiefly of news papers and magazines.
 They said the reason that the postoffice department rates that in that category is that it is its big gest money-loser. They insisted the fact that a majoriyt of the nations press opposed MT. Truman's cleo ton is beside the point.
 To emphasize their no-retalia- ton contention, they recalled that the President recommended postal rate boosts in eacr of the last two years and followed up the first suggestion with a specific bill

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - Reli- able waterfront sources predicted today that settlement in the 79- day old west coast maritime strike may come before midnight Sun day.
 A l0-day period of negotiations under the so-called Roth Murray peace formula expires then.

Roth of the San Francisco Employers council and agreed to by CIO pres ident Philip Murray, the last offer of the employers is to be submitted to the CIO longshore membership if peace has not been achieved in the 10 days of negotiations. An observer commented the pe- riod could be extended by agree ment on both sides but added a prediction extension would not be necessary.

 Settle East Coast Maritime Strike
(By The Associated PreSs)

Internation'l News At A Glance ---
CBy The Associated Press Thursday. November l8. l948


 China claimed today a great and complete victory at Suchow, with communists in flight after suffer- ing 130,000 casualties.
 The nationalists were said to have lost only 10000 men, but both sides often exaggerate casual ty claims. It seemed true this time that the government had won at least the first phase of the battle and the capital of Nanking appears safe for a while.
 The communists said they held the initiative. It appeared certain they had had to abandon, for the moment at least, the conquest of SuchoW and to withdraw their forces for regrouping.
 The U. s. sent 1,25O more ma rines from Guam to bolster the $500 men at threatened Tsingtao, U. s. naval station on the Yellow sea and evacuation port for Amer jeans in the area threatened by the Reds. Whether the marines would engage in open fighting with the communists depends Son circum- stances, the state department said. Experts in Washington said the communists could take Tsingtao any time they wished. An Ameri- can task force of a dozen ships is there.
 Sen. Malone R.-Nev0 said in Tokyo secretary of state Marshall is to blame for the nationalist gov ernment's plight in China. He said Marshall shut off the flow of ann munition which would have held back the communists, although the U. s. already had given Chiang Kai-Shek the guns for which the munitions were needed.
 Malone said $2O,OOO,OOO worth of ammunition and machine guns would have saved China and that 1000 planes to strafe and bomb Red lines might even yet save Chiang. He said President Truman already has all the authority he needs to give Chiang the credit to buy the planes.
 The China problem doubtless will be talked out Monday when Marshall reports to MT. Truman.
 The secretary called to Paris fi- nancial experts from Washington and Berlin to advise on the cur rency problem in Berlin-the issue which led the Russians to blockade the city in June. The airlift has been costing U. s. taxpayers at the rate of $1OO,O0O,OO0 a year since. It took two more British lives last night when a transport plane crashed.
 Marshalps move in Paris and an hour conference between Juan A. Bramuglia, November president of the U. N. security council, and Soviet deputy foreign minister An drei Vishinsky suggested new hope for solving the blockade crisis. Bramuglia had new kind of com promise calling for gradual easing of the blockade and making Rus sian marks the sole Berlin money.

Thus, he indicated, the phone

the money from investors who

which Bell disposed of the bond

equipment, if any is needed.
Earlier in the week, Danaher,

plicated financial structure in
opposing the permanent rate in

cage. Their testimony questioned
agreements between Illinois Bell

payment for equipment used
jointly between them.
The city witnesses attempted
to point out that ART is get

payment for equipment used in
Interstate calls. Thus, it was
held, too much of the cost is ap-
piled to Illinois Bell, and is then
used as evidence that the Illi-

fair profit.
ART owns 99.3 percent of
Illinois Bell stock, making the
national monopoly practically
sole owner of the state company.
ART has been charged with
milking the state company of
potential profits. Thus, it is held.
