 SHIP CASE
Bartlett Declares Alaska Will Face Food Shortage
 Appeals for Fed. Aid
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

i WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.--lR- Alaska will face food shortage this winter unless the Government acts to get shipping in operation to the Territory quickly, Delegate Bartlett said today.
 In an appeal for Federal action he said there must be no rapitition ,of the 127-day maritime tieup oi two years ago.
 The critical situation is brought about by the longshoremens strike ion the Pacific Coast.
 Bartlett said through his office Eere that the threat of food short- age this winter has put fear into residents of the Territory, causing a rush on stores with resultant high prices. Some residents, he said, are leaving the Territory.
 He said he has asked that Gov ernment ships and barges se used in a hurry to carry food and oth- CT necessities to the Territory. He also wants the Civil Aeronautics Board to permit shipment of needed Supplies by airplanes which are not authorized now to carry cargo { to Alaska.
 What he describes as a critical situation at Nome and on the Bris- Il tol Bay of Alaska, in what is known as the freeze-up area, wiil {, be eliminated by the departure yes terday from Seattle of one vessel loaded with supplies tor that re- lgion, an aide told reporter. ] One contracting firm in Seattle has signed with the union and is ready to load Alaska bound ships as soon as they are available, the laide said. He added that in Tacoma Alaskan ships can be loaded by AFL longshoremen, not involved in the strike, tut the operators of the shipping service are not moving any ships due to the CIO strike.
 Bartlett's office said the Dele gate reported that lack of shipping is delaying the Governments $200,- 100000 Alaskan improvement pro- gram.

 Local Is is demanding two things and the refusal of the com pany to meet those demands is the cause of the picket line: I've were requested to bargain with labor organization representing men who are not our employees while we had a contract with an other organization that covers all of the men in our plant and had we acceeded we would have com mitted an unfair labor practice to our employees; the second demand our refusal of which lead to the picket line is that we are being asked, and coersion is being used to get us to agree to a closed shop contract with persons with whom we have no employer employee re-
 lationship.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-lR-- The Government has broken into the black on it's budget operations for the first time in this fiscal year, Treasury figures showed today.
 Heavy quarterly income tax pay ments gave the Government tech- nical surplus of $281 ,625, 900 as of Sept. 2l, with almost fourth of the 1949 fiscal year gone.
 The situation was Jess rosy than it looked on the surface, however The surplus could be recorded only by ignoring $478,725 ,oo0 in Flu ropean aid program outlays. If those were counted, as they have been up to this year, there would not only be no surplus but sl97 100, ,0Oo deficit

NLRB HEARING LOCAL DISPUTE |5 ENDED HERE
Concluding Argumen Made by AttorneYs-BoYd
 Gives His Statement

Though the nearing of the case of Juneau Spruce Corporation against the International Long, shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union before Melton Boyd, hear ing officer for the 18th Regional office of the National Labor Rela- tions Board, was concluded this forenoon, nothing is yet conclud- ed as far as the local labor dis pute between the mill and the ILWU.
 The ILWU picket line will con- tinue at the Juneau Spruce; the IVA workers at the mill, inter venors in the present case. still have to cross the picket line to go to work.
 The Juneau Spruce Corporation which maintains Juneau's largest commercial payroll is still unable to get into full operation because the ILWU picket line prevents its operation beyond Juneau to ports where the unloading of its barges would have to he done by ILWU members.
 Action is now up to the National Labor Relations Board.
 Attorneys in the case may file brieis with the NLRB within sever days of the conclusion of the pres ent hearing, MT. Boyd said, and he indicated that he thought the Board would give the case expedi- tious attention.
 With that the case was closed e~isi1 ,.se csai ass s4.is ss'Fsss a'...l s...il jam Paul, Jr., Henry Roden, at- torneys for the ILWU and James Rogers, representing the Juneat Spruce Corporation.
 Continuing practice" and tht ILWU as an appropriate bargain ing unit" were the basis of Roden's and Paul's reviews of their case; that If there has been any unfair practice, it has not been on the part of Local 16 but on the part of Juneau Spruce which has at tempted to deprive Local Is of work carried on by it's members from 1884 until September or Octo- Der 1947.'
 Case Could Be Tried in Alaska
 In answer to Examiner Boyd's question if in Roden's oplnlon such case as is involved in the present dispute could be tried un- der the Labor Act in the local District Court, Roden replied yes that the District Court in Alaska takes the same place as the Super for Court in the State of Wash ington and the United States Dis trict Court; hears all Territorial and Federal cases, whether crimin- al or otherwise and has jurisdiction

THURSDAYS HEARING

: After two days of listening tc ! the attorneys and witnesses of the Juneau Spruce Corporation and the International Longshoremen's | and Warehousemen's Union recite their positions before Hearing Off, cer Melton Boyd of the National | Isaabor Relations Board Regional office at the hearing in the Senate Chambers, A. F. Hartung, attor- ney for the International Wood workers of America and First Vice President of the International. at
 Portland, intervenor in the present case, finally had his day at court.
 So, too, did William Flint, local President of the IVA, whQ like MT. Hartung, had waited through two days of testimony before he was called on Thursday afternoon. Attorneys for ILWU, defendant in the case, are Henry Roden and William Paul, Jr. James Rogers and Norman c. Banfield represent the Juneau Spruce, complainant. MT. Hartung attempted to estab- lish within the knowledge of his witness, MT. Flint, what had trans, pired in regard to the closing of
 the Juneau Spruce by the ILWU picket line April 3, the several meetings involved during the closed period, the attempts of the IVA i to work out a satisfactory agree ment with the ILWU so that the plant could resume operation. It was after more than an hour of testimony that question of Attorney Henry Roden elicited from Mir. Flint as heart-warming
 speech as had come out of the hearing
 Roden: Isn't it true that Local M-271 has had change of heart? (This was in regards to reopen i ing the mill.)
 Wantc0 NO argument Flint: The IVA didn't want an argument We tried to take neu- tral position until forced to take
 action to preserve the structure of our union and the economy of this community.
 No one listening could help but 
 feel grateful for an expressed in- terest in the welfare of Juneau. Asked what would be the posi- tion of IVA members if out of this
 case the NLRB makes a decision as to whose jurisdiction barge leading belongs, Flint answered that
 he would recommend to his mem
 bers that they abide by any rul- ing.

 quiry as to the Nov. 3 contract of

 WASHINGTON - Last summer when a lot of folks on both sides of the Mason Dixon Line were making faces at each other, this writer, with his usual propensity for sticking his nose into other peoples business, suggested that it would be fine idea if we tried to understand some of the South's problems, and vice versa. Then perhaps we could all sympathlze more and criticize less.
 Following this suggestion, the live-wire Blue and Gray Associa- tion of Montgomery, Ala, invited a group of northerns to the seat of the old Confederacy to get bet ter acquainted

The Bombers pulled ahead on a
short-set shot by Don Putnam and

throw, Freddie Scalari scored from
the floor for the Caps and Bob Doll

when he was fouled by John Nor

and better gridiron feats in 1948 to
lure the cash customers.
1T will take plenty of doing to top

leaned back in his swivel chair.
Eve play strictly for spectator
appeal" observed Bell, who's start
ing his third year as NIL boss and

Paid admission figures are not yet
compiled, but Bell estimates that
100000 made the turnstiles click
during the 6o-game season and the
dozen-odd extracurricular contests
The Annie Oakleys are extra.
Attendance should be even
greater this season, possibly by a

Graziano a Fights Here
In March; Title Not
To Be al Stake

World Middleweight Champion
Rocky Graziano will fight here some
time in March, it was announced
today by his manager, Irving Cohen,
in New York. 1t will be an over-
the weight nontitle bout, promoted
by Goldie Ahearn and his Liberty
Athletic Club at the National Guard
Armory.
Exact date of the fight is not
known, as Ahearn has not COM
pleted negotiations with Armory
officials for use of that plant. The
Graziano bout will be Ahearns sec
ond promotion at the Armory as he
has plans under way for fight
card there sometime next month.
Graziano's opponent has not yet
been selected, but it must be one
approved by the District Boxing
Commission. You can rest assured
that we will not let him fight any
stiff" said Heinie Miller, chairman
of the commission. Miller expects
Cohen to come to Washington soon
to go over list of possible opponents
with him and Ahearn.
There also is some likelihood of a
Graziano title fight here during the
summer, as that was discussed, along
with this nontitle bout, on Cohen's
visit to Washington late last year.
Graziano. who won the title from
Tony Zale at Chicago last July. Is
under suspension in New York. He
has a clean bill in most National
Boxing Association areas, including
