U. !. MARITIME COMMISSION X
 AGAINST BILLS

The U. s. Maritime Commission opposes favorable consideration by Congress Of legislation which would relax the provisions of the Jones Act. it's Chairman, Admiral w. w. Smith, has informed Chairman AL win H. Weichel oI the House Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
 Admiral Smiths letter to Rep resentative Wiechel on the subject indicate, however, that both the Interior Department and the Treas ury Department have prepared re- ports to Congress favoring the legislation.
 The particular bills disapproved by the Maritime Commission and approved by the Interior and the Treasury are H. R. 1032 and H. R. 2814, both introduced by Delegate Bartlett early in 1947 The first would permit Canadian or other foreign vessels to transport pas sengers and merchandise between Alaska ports or between Alaska ports and the States. The other would remove the specific Jones Act discrimination against the Territory by amending Section 27 to make its provisions apply to all parts of the United States ''in- cluding Alaska" instead of 'exclud- ing Alaska
 While not identical in language with S. 1884 introduced last month by Senator Hugh Butler, the object and effect of the Bart lett bills would be the same. Dis approval of them by the Maritime Commission forecasts similar dis approval of the Butler measure.
 Chairman Weichel requested the views and recommendation of the Maritime Commission on H. R. 1032 last January 23, and on H. R. 2814 last March 28. The views were submitted December 12 by Admiral Smith iii separate letters, copies Of which have been furn- ished the Alaska Development Board by Delegate Bartlett. In each appears the language: The Maritime Commission does not recommend favorable consideration of the bill"

 The injunction restraints the local from continuing six alleged unfair labor practices-including one of so- claled feather bedding" or requir- ing an employer to pay for work not performed-until the NLRB here can decide if the local was "un- fair
 Local 294 was accused of demand ing that the Conway Express Com pany of Pittsfield, Mass, pay the union an amount equal to the wages of a union member as penalty for allowing a non-union member to drive a truck from New Britain, Conn, to Cleveland, O., last Sep tember

 Carriers in the Midway class nor mally carry 2,200 men, including 100 Marines. and cruisers 1000 men, of whom 50 are Marines.

ROME-(By Wireless)-I hear from home that some editors are bored with having me say nice things about people and think it's about time I began punching noses again. Despite that, however, I'm going to start the new year by saying something else nice about a few people
 In fact, I want to rectify a couple of injustices. Shortly be- fore I left home I wrote a column referring to Army promotions in which I pointed to the fact that Gen. Manton s. Eddy, though only a major general, had been pro- noted over the heads of several well-known lieutenant generals, the inference being that he was pro- noted because he was in charge ol Army press relations This in- ference, I am now convinced, was wrong. While the Army does at tach great importance to its press relations, General Eddy also had a great combat record and his pro- motion was not at all out of line with this fine record.
 And while I am getting things off my chest, one diplomat I have criticized a lot in the past is Tirr-n1y D1Inp fou TT c Ay,Lacco dor to Italy. Regardless of the past, I have watched Jimmy work close up in Rome and there's no
