On Extending Contract
By the Associofsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-East
Coast shippers, as well as repre-
sentatives of the AFL Internation-
al Longshoremen's Association
have agreed to extend their con-
tract 80 days beyond its expiration
date tomorrow night.
If this extension is approved
by the unions $4,000 members in
voting tomorrow-and officials
predict that it will be-the threat
of a dock workers strike will be
averted for the time being.
Shippers yesterday Endorsed the
extension, following similar action
by union negotiators. The extern
sion was requested by the Federal
Mediation Service.
John v. Lyon, spokesman for
the shippers, said the companies
do not want to wait until the
'1ast minute" of the extended
period before an agreement is
reached.
He said there is danger of di-
version of cargo away from East
Coast ports if an agreement is not
reached well before the end of the
30-day period.
The union is asking a 12-cent
increase, including pension and
welfare benefits, in the current
basic hourly wage Of $1.88.

Ry the kssoeioted Press

TORONTO, Ont. Sept. 29.-A
government official testified yes
terday that the cruise ship
Noronic which burned Septem-

equipment than Canadian ship
ping regulations require.
John James Moffat of Toronto,
supervisor Of marine inspection
for the Dominion Transport
Board, made the statement before
"a government commission investi-
eating the cause of the fire, which
took a heavy loss Of life. Bodies of
96 of the 100 or so dead have been

areas. *s

ship lines, gave similar testimony

seek to determine whether negli-
gence was involved in the
disaster. Supreme Court Justice
r. l.. Kellock is presiding.
Mr.. Moffat identified a report
on annual inspection dated July
81. 1949, and said:
This report shows the Noronic
was equipped with fire extinguish-
ing equipment 'in excess of the
regulations for Class A ship.
Under the law, a ship Of the
Noronic's type has to have at
lease two fire hoses on each deck.
The Noronic had at least four.
"The regulations require one
fire extinguisher for each so feet

would mean about six on each

TOKYO, Sept. 29.-Emperor

the bookstands today. But he'll
get books back instead of a

1t did not make the best seller

Noronic had at least four that
could be directed into each hold"
Mr.. Moffat identified a special
certificate authorizing the vessel
to carry $50 passengers for the
period May 3-June 7. 1949. He
said the Noronic was equipped for
this number which was so above
the normal load.
Mr.. Naudie said sufficient water
pressure was maintained on the
Noronic for all fire hose and
hydrants to operate at the same
time and that hoses and hydrants
on all decks operated auto

Much of Asia's weather is born

For this reason, accurate fore

hlacked them out.
Forecasters no longer can de-
