 Goldsborough ruled that the pen- sion agreement has absolutely nothing to do with the contempt proceedings.

 Mrs. Monsen won commenda- tion from Kent Cooper. Associated Press General Manager, for her handling of the news story of the American clipper crash in which her husband, Al Monsen, lost his life.
 When word reached her that the wreckage Of the crashed plane had been sighted. ending all hope for her husbands safety, Mrs Monsen directed that word be sent immed- lately to Associated Press.

 Both believe that, in general, AL askans have no feeling against Se- attle and that it would be extremely difficult for any ether city to take Alaska business away from Seattle.
 They think that the reports of re- sentiment have a political root.
 Its all been stirred up by fac- tions favoring Alaskan statehood immediately. They have a grudge against Seattle because it's Chamber of Commerce hasn't come out fol statehood now" Mrs. Monsen said.

Fishermen Are Given Warming About Making
 Alaska Trip Looking for Job

WASHINGTON, April 12.-tRt- Dent go to Alaska looking for fishing industry job. says the Fish and Wildlife Seryice, unless;
 A. You have a definite offer.
 B. You have enough money to get home on if work is not avail able. It will also help, the agency cautions. if you have ex- perience in that line.
 A service publication, prepared by Paul Elliott of the Commer- cial Fisheries Division, points out that most canneries do their hir- ing in March or April. usually in Seattle.
 People experienced in fishing or in the work of the canneries are now much more readily avail able than they were during the war years Elliott says He adds that the cost of food and lodging in Alaska is from 25 to 30 percent higher than in the United States.
 In regard to fishing, as dis tinguished from cannery work, El- liott adds:
 Tn most cases hours are long, work hard and income moderate.
 Very often the fishermen actu- ally lose pponey when the fishing or marketing conditions are poor. Furthermore, seasickness is ofen a problem.
 "The reluctance of the captain of individual fishing vessels to hire inexperienced personnel is not surprising The crew must be a well integlated team if the fish ing is to pay.
 Anyone entering the fishery for the first time must usually expect low earnings for the first two or three seasons"

PENSION FUND IS
 GRANTED
Aqe Limit Is Raised to 62 Years = Order Issued
 to Return 10 Jobs

WASHINGTON, April 12.-iR-- John L. Lewis won $100-a-month pensions at age 62 fer his miners today and gave the striking coal diggers word to go back to work. Lewis had asked the pensions at age 60, but accepted proposal from Senator Bridges R-NH) to put the figure two years higher. Ezra Van Horn, representing the mine operators with Bridges and Lewis opposed the plan but was out-voted.
 With the agreement, Lewis tele- graphed his miners:
 Pensions granted. Agreement honored.'
 That was the word the striking miners were waiting for. They wa.Aeu out tour weeks ago on ad- vice from Lewis that the mine own- CTS had "dishonored' an agreement to provide welfare benefits.

 Despite the settlement, the Jus tice Department went ahead with a move to nail a contempt of court charge against Lewis.
 It contends he is in contempt of court for failing to call off the strike as ordered April 3 by Federal Judge Matthew F. Me- Guire.
 The events went like this.

 TIGHTEN
 UP RULES
More Regulations Issued Against Both Ameri-
 cans and British
tBy Associated Press )


 Soviet Russia has imposed fresh regulations upon western traffic in her zones of Germany and Austria over the weekend.
 Russian guards delayed British military trains going to and from Vienna at a Semmering Pass cheek point to inspect passports and iden- tity cards of British civilians aboard. British sources said the Russians also were demanding that autono- bile travellers produce passports or identity cards with photographs.
 Russian authorities in Berlin ask ed the British and Americans yes- terday to close their automobile aid stations on the Berlin Helmstadt highway. These stations have ser viced motor cars in trouble on the 125-mile stretch through the Soviet zone between Berlin and the vest ern zones. The Americans said their station would close in two weeks.
 Allied intelligence reports said the Russians have been increasing their strength in Germany, mostly with secret police units.
 Over Russian protests, the United States, Britain and France decided to go ahead with their own plans for unifying western Germany econorn- ically-and perhaps politically. A three-power meeting is to be held in London in week or so
 A pne-hour general strike was conducted in Italy by the Commun- ist-led General Confederation of Labor today. The observance ap- peared limited. Six days hence the Italians vote in national election which will decide whether the na- tion remains friendly with the west or swings into the Soviet or bit.
 The United States stepped up it's drive at Lake Success ion truce in Palestine. Security Council dele gates were called to the American delegation office for further talks.
 THREE NATIONS TO ACT
 WASHINGTON, April 12-R- Over angry Russian protests, the United States, Britain and France have decided to go ahead at once with their own plans for unifying western Germany economically.
 They may decide to set up a separate political regime as well. The decision to hold another three power meeting in London to blue print Germany's future was re- ported authoritatively today as the conflict between the Soviet Union and the west entered a critical week
 It is a week which may be cli- maxed by last minute moves on both sides to try to influence the outcome of the extremely impor- tant Italian election next Monday.
 Some European diplomats who have conferred recently with top American officials believe the issue of peace in Europe may be de- termined by the Italian voting.
 That the week will bring new alarms and tensions seems certain. Whether it may also shed light on, some of the dinner areas of Soviet-Western rivalry remains to be seen.

 Almost falling off the porch, the newsmen scurried into the night, looking for telephones.
 MT. Truman looked around at George Allen.

 Harry Truman did not seem to realize that his words as Presi- dent of the United States meant a lot more than his words as Harry Truman, the Senator.
