JUNEAU SPRUCE SELLS PART OF
 ITS EQUIPMENT

No new action was reported to- day toward settlement of the 83- day old Juneau Spruce Corporation labor dispute, Sut two other de- velopments were learned whill might be considered by some ob- servers as indicative that the com- pany is planning to unload it's local investment and give up the fight.
 Freeman Schultz, JSC Executive Vice President and General Man. ager admitted that the company has disposed of it's floating logging camp and is now negotiating for she sale of it's stock of logs. The floating logging camp, which was kept at Edna Bay. was sold to the Ketchikan Spruce Mills recently when their own camp was burned out
 Schultz declined to reveal the purchase price or any details or reasons behind these recent ac- tions. In the meantime, all part ies are standing by for a decision from General Counsel of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board in Washington, D. C., where unfair labor practice charges are pending against the Juneau Local of CIO International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union.

Shooting Bears in Alaska
 Is Thrilling, Is Also Costly,
 With Excitement Also Added
By BEN FUNK

DENVER, July 1--tR-Shooting a 2,O00- pound Alaskan bear is tre- mendous thrill, two Colorado sports men testified today, but don't get any ideas about trying it yourself dear reader
 Dent that is, unless you're in the higher income tax brackets and you can stand lots of excitement. For it will cost you plenty ot money and maybe your life.
 You can shoot bears right here in the Rocky Mountain region-if you're satisfied with a measly ami nal of 400 to 600 pounds. You might even bag a grizzly weighting up to GOO pounds.
 But the lifetime ambition of Ken meth Kilfy. Denver banker, and Herb Hollister, a. Boulder, Colo, radio executive and businessman was to get crack at the really big boys of the Alaska regions.
 They satisfied that desire recently and sacrificed zig hunks of their bankrolls
 King returned from Alaska with the hide of one-ton Polar Bear. The trip cost him slightly less than s5 ,0Oo," he reported ruefully, and he had two brushes with death near the Arctic Circle.
 Hollister came back from the Far North with a 2,000-pound Kodiak bear, the biggest carnivorous animal in the world
 Kings first narrow escape oc- cured north of Point Barrow, when plane he had chartered was closed in by fog. His Eskimo pilot managed to get the plane down on an ice pack after finding hole in the fog blanket just before he ran out of gas. They were rescued after l2 hours on the ice.
 Later, near Anchorage, King got a shot at a Kodiak bear The animal was hit in the neck just as 1t diveo into channel. The current carried it rapidly downstream and King and his pilot attempted to take off and fly downstream to retrieve the trophy.
 The plane struck sandbar, side swiped a tree about 20 feet off the ground and crashed upside down only our safety belts saved us, King recalls.
 The Tanker shot his polar bear while hunting with party of Eski- mos.

COOK INLET
 FISHERMEN
 MAY STRIKE
CI0 Union Base Threat on Lack of Agreement
 with Operators

ANCHORAGE Alaska, July l. (Rl-A strike threat for the Cook Inlet salmon fishing and canning operations was reported today by the Anchorage office of the Alaska Fishermen's Union (C1O1.
 A union spokesman said the strike threat was based on the ab- sence of an agreement with can- nery operators. He said the morn ing of July was set as the dead line for an agreement. If terms are not settled by then, the union spokesman said members will strike at those canneries where they are employed or for whom they may be fishing.
 Tha main fishermen's issues are the prices to be paid for red and silver salmon taken from Upper Cook Inlet. For tendermen. the principal issues are monthly rates of pay and payment for overtime
 The union is asking at least 65 cents for reds and silvers. Last years prices were 42 2-3 cents for salmon caught above Boulder Point and 46 2-3 cents for catches below the Point. The industry has off- cred 53 and 57 cents, respectively for catches of independent fisher men. Employee fishermen would get less.

The W ashington Merry Go Round

Copyright, 194s. by The Bell Syndicate,

WASHINGTON - Three weeks ago. this columnist reported that about 15O cases of housing frauds against veterans had been referred to the U. s. District Attorney in Dallas, Texas, but that not one indictment had been brought. Sev- eral prominent citizens, including members of the Dallas Home Builders Association, it was stated were involved.
 The U. s. District Attorney Frank Potter, immediately hurled the charge of liar" Nonetheless Attorney General Tom Clark has now sent a special assistant, Philip w. Wager, to Dallas, together with deputy housing expediter Morris s. Werner, Jr., and special grand jury has been called to probe these frauds. In addition, the Veter- ans Administration admitted pub licly that some 150 fraud cases were hanging fire.
 However, there is something else which the Veterans Administration has not yet made public. In its files are some revealing letters written by its representative, R. F. Andrews, chief of the Veterans Loan Guaranty Service in Dallas Here are some excerpts from them
 On Feb. 18, Andrews reported to Washington: MT. Godfrey of the Dallas Home Builders in telephonic conversation with MT. Baker, Loan Guaranty officer. Dallas, today stated that the side-payment cases now in the hands of the U. s. Attorney in Dallas are progressing to his, Mr. Godfrey's satisfaction The innuendo is obvious
 The "side-payment" cases refer to the practice of charging veter- ans fee above the limit permit ted by the GI Bill of Rights. This fee is paid on the side and con- cealed from the Veterans .Adminis- tration. This columnist previous ly reported that fraud cases in- volving members of the Dallas Home Builders had been referred to the US. Attorney in Dallas, but no action taken.

(By The Associated Press)

The U. S., Britain and France are reported by British government sources to have drafted demand to the Kremlin that Russia lift her blockade of Berlin and restore iour-power rule to the city.
