CIO Withdraws
 Oakland Tickets

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - CIO longshore pickets were expected to withdraw from the port of Oak land today under an agreement for the removal of commercial cargo piled on the docks.
 A union announcement of the agreement with the City of Oak land made clear the loading or discharge of struck ships is not in- volved. But the city's Wharves and warehouses are to be cleared to make room for army cargo.
 Waterfront observers, m n = time, speculated as to what the army will do for ships to move the usual 250,000 tons a month. About 80 per cent of this tonnage previ- ously was carried under charter in now idle commercial ships.
 Most refrigerator ships, used in moving perishable cargoes to the Far East, are owned by the struck Pacific Far East lines.

SCOUT NEWS

Last Saturday the Boy Scouts of Troop 666 went on a tour of the Marks Air Base. The tour was conducted by Scoutmaster Pew. We were shown through the air base fire department under the su- pervision of MT. Huxley. We then went through the big hangar.
 Among other things that we did there was go up into the tower and see how they brought in planes and sent them out.
 After we left the hangar we went over to the Arctic indoctrin- ation school and were shown the equipment that forced-dow pilots used. From there we went to the power plant that supplies all the electricity for the base.
 After we got through looking around there we went over to the mess hall and had chow. After we finished eating we started back for town.

intention to remove these fac
