Reds Make u. n. Issue
OF American Delay
In Delegates visas
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, May 25.-Russia
protested yesterday against a refusal
of the United States to grant visas
to two Soviet delegates to the
United Nations Immediately on
request.
A. N. Pavlov, Russian delegate to
the U. N. Human Rights Commits
sion, accused the United States of
discrimination and violating an
agreement covering entry of U. N.
personnel into this country.
Mrs. Roosevelt Regretful.
He then demanded that the COM
mission adjourn until the two dele
gates-A. S. Stepanenko of White
Russia and M. P. Kekovkin of the
Soviet Ukraine-arrive at Lake
Success.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
was reelected chairman of the
commission, said she personally re-
gretted the incident. She said the
two now has been granted visas.
The 17-nation commission refused
to accept the Russian demand but
did agree not to take any decisions
on major points until the arrival of
the pair, expected tomorrow.
Instructions Sent to Embassy.
Mr.. Pavlov said the two delegates
were told at the United States En-
bassy in Moscow that they would
have to fill out long questionnaires
before getting entry permits. He
said the visas finally were granted
after the Soviet Union protested to
the U. N.
Mrs. Roosevelt said the United
States had instructed the Embassy
not to require the questionnaires of
U. N. delegates and personnel in
the future.
This procedure merely is in re-
turn for what has been done to us
in Moscow" Mrs. Roosevelt said.
You'd think to hear Mr.. Pavlov
that the U. S. S. r. was the only
one that had to fill out question:
naires."

(By the Associated PreSS)
 The United States, Britain and France sought today way to solve the Berlin blockade through the United Nations security coun- cil. Russia'S veto of compromise plan deadlocked the issue, but in formed quarters said efforts to set tie the warlike dispute will con- tinue.
 The security council rang with angry charges that Israel is flout- ing cease fire orders by continuing fighting in the Negev desert and violating the middle east arms em- bargo.
 Warren R. Austin, American president of the council, adjourn ed the debate on Palestine with this assertion:
 "This is matter requiring study before any action can be taken. The: council cannot be lashed into action by charges of bias."
 Other delegations have accused the U. s. of sidestepping the Pal estine problem until after the Nov. 2 election. A British source said many delegates are leaning toward stern U N. action to bring peace to Palestine-investigation, econo- mic sanctions or even military ac- ton.
 The British objected at an inter- national radio conference in Mex jet City to seating an Israeli dele gate, who had not been invited. The British contended Israel "does not exist and cannot be represent ed" Russia took exception.

Alaska Steamship Co. May Liquidate Due To Strike

JUNEAU, (P)-Gilbert Skinner, president of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, said here Monday his line will be forced to liquidate" unless satisfactory settlement is secured with striking west coast CIO mari time unions.
 Skinner, here from his Seattle headquarters, said his statement was not a threat 'but a simple declaration of fact"
 "The settlement must be on a permanent basis" he said. "It has reached the stage where shippers either will operate their own busi- ness or be controlled by the un- ionS."
 The Alaska Steamship Co.,, only major line still serving the Terri tory is affiliated with the water front employers association. The WEA has refused to negotiate with striking unions whose leaders have not signed non-cOmmuniSt affida- wits under the Taft-Hartley law.
 Since the west coast maritime strike began last Sept. 2, the Alas ka Transportation Co.,, has sus- pended operations indefinitely and the Northland Transportation Co.,, has announced plans to merge with Skinner's concern.
 They were the only three large shipping lines operating to Alaska.

FAIRBANKS, (P - Missing IS days and found badly frozen on the slopes of Jumbo Dome, Albert Barlow 63-year-old prospector, was recovering today and able to laugh about his experiences.
 He and Massachusetts youth, Eric Tasker, IT, set out for his mining property two weeks ago and became separated. Tasker reached safety soon.
 "My-the things you see when you haven't got gun," Barlow said.
 The 150 moose, several caribou and thousands of grouse he saw might as well be mirages to a hun gry man whose only weapon was a pocket knife.
 Searchers found him and he was flown here by the 10th rescue squadron from the Ladd field base.

Ask CAB For More And Better Air
 Service To Alaska
Say Certificated Lines Make Flag Stops Of Important Cities

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Alaska needs a seven-day airlines week and an extension of Alaska serv- ice to other west coast points than Seattle, two witnesses told civil aeronautics board hearing Mon day.
 Juneau mayor Waino Hendrick- son and Charles w. Carter, a rep resentative of the Juneau cham Der of commerce, were among sev- eral witnesses who followed Alas ka governor Ernest Gruening to the stand.
 The governor earlier asked the CAB to end a certificated airlines monopoly which he claims may make Juneau a flagstop and Ketchikan-Alaska's first city-its last.
 Hendrickson praised the present service of certificated carriers. He added, however, seven-day service would make it possible for mer- chants to fly to Seattle Sunday and be back ready for business Monday morning.
 Carter supported Grueni g $ contention that service should be extended beyond Seattle to such points as Portland and San Fran cisco.
 Gruening cited the plight of Ketchikan residents wishing to travel to Fairbanks. The trip, which should take six hours, re- quires 26, he said, because of stop overs, taxi service and branch line flights. He declared intra- Alaska service by bush pilots has saved the day for AlaSkanS by bringing down rates where mo nopoly previously was uncheck- ed"
