BIG FIGHT IS STARTED
 BY JOHNSON
Defense Secretary Objects 10 Congressmen Using
 Aircraft for Jdunts
By EDWIN B. PARKINSON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-R- Secretary of Defense Johnson's pro- test against using military aircraft to haul Senators around the world brought we-can-pass-a-law &C., tion today from Congress.
 Senator Elmer Thomas D-Okla) who first received the pointed sug- gestion that Congressmen ride the regular commercial airlines, told a reporter:
 This may bring this airplane issue to the front. If the military officials can assign planes to any, one they like, then Congress may have to take notice of it and fix the policy"
 Thomas, one of the leaders of an insistent Senate economy bloc. con- ceded with a wry smile that the drive to slash government spend- ing had apparently boomeranged.
 But with most Senators away for a long Labor Day weekend, Thomas held his fire. He merely passed along Johnson's blunt comments to other Senators who had indicated they wanted to make leisurely flying inspection of Europe, with a number going on around the world.
 Other Senators grumbled pri- vately to reporters that President Truman, Vice President Barkley and other officials of the Execu- tive Department make frequent flying trips.
 But Secretary Johnson was firm, writing Senator Thomas
 For economy reasons, both in aircraft and in dollars, so far this year I have refused to agree to the assignment of special mission air. craft to accompany Congressional parties on trips around the world. !"
 Thomas had informed the Defense Secretary that numf-er of the IT. member Appropriations subcom- mittee, which handles the Armed Services multi-billion dollar money bills, wanted large military air. plane to make the inspection trips of six weeks to two months.

 Operations soon will pick up even more, even though peace talks opening in New York next Wednes- day should become begged.
 The big employers had ships on the way to Hawaii. These will be unloaded by non-un.on stevedores working for the government. They will draw the current wage of $1.40 an hour.
 A group of smaller merchants already had striking stevedores at work unloading two ships. They draw SIP an hour. That is what the 2,O00 dock workers of Hawaii demanded when they quit work May 1.
 The Honolulu Chamber of Con- merce calls this deal stab in the back" It said the agreement broke a solid front which Hawaii business had shown the International Long shoremen's and Warehousemen $ Union.
 Henry Schmidt, ILWU leader, said the union had contracts with eight barge and ship operators for more such operations.
 The ILWU announced that Harry Bridges, head of the union, will lead a three-man team to the New York negotiations. The others are Louis Goldblatt, one of Bridges top lieutenants, and William Gla- sier, Washington representative o1 the union.

Dan Moves Is Catching Up After 40 Hours Without

Although a certain young Juneau
 hunter killed a grizzly bear four hours before the season opened, it is unlikely tha. he will be prosecute ed. says c. D. Swanson, Assistant
 Law Enforcement Supervisor of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice.
 "Of course, he has to report it, said Swanson, and give the ex- tenuating circumstances-but these
 certainly sound like good ones"
 Dan Moves, who will be IT in December, is the young hunter. Dan is the son of Col. John R. Moves, Alaska Road Commissioner, and
 Mrs. Moves. He is a senior at Juneau High School. These are the "extenuating cir cumstances."
 Dan had gone over to Douglas Island Wednesday morning with Bill Keep and Kenneth Hildreth,
 to set up camp and be ready for
 the first day of the hunting sea-

 some good sleep. About half an hour later, Mickey Bryson arrived there, too. and
 suggested that they all Hook over the country"

 The hunters paired off, Kenny
 and Bill together, Dan with Bry- son.
 Tired from the trip up, Dan could not keep up to Bryson's fast pace,
 and got separated. Later, they

Federal Government Plans Fight on Los Angeles
 Underworld

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3.<-R-The federal government is girding for an all-out offensive against Los Angeles gangsters.
 U. s. Attorney James M. Carter gave warning to the underworld that he has asked for assignment of at least 50 Treasury agents to move against holsters by way of the income tax laws.
 The federal prosecutor said the Treasury agents, if assigned here, will Ego after millions of dollars handled by hoodluns. Carter indi- cated that special attention will be paid to horse race bookmaking revenue.
 In making a statement yester- day, Carter said that the Guarantee Finance Co.,, bookmaking set-up, is an example of income tax matters that need immediate government attention.
 Recently the governors state crime commission agents said that Guarantee Finance Co.,, was the headquarters for a large book making syndicate. The crime com mission produced records at a Public Utilities Commission hear ing which the agents interpreted as showing payoff in the thousands of dollars to law enforcement agen- cieS.
 Carter also mentioned gambler Mickey Cohen and his activities as matter needing the attention of government income tax experts.
 "The only solution to the gang ster problem is to go into the in- come tax angle,' said Carter. (This was the method used by the gov- ernment in moving against the Al Capone gang in Chicago)

FISHING SEASON EXTENSION MADE
 UNTIL THURSDAY

Fishing season in Southeast AL aska has been extended after Fish and Wildlife Service officials met with fishery operators.
 Original closing time was today.
 The unexpectedly good" run was given credit as the reason be- hind the extension. Fish have been caught and packed at the rate of 2,50O 0O0 per day during the sea- son beginning September IS in in Southeast Alaska, FWS officials said after the meeting.
 Surveys made by fishery opera tors agreed remarkably well with those made by FWS patrols. These included observations of escapement and seeding and fish present in outside waters.
 If the run continues as it has been, it is estimated that the pink salmon pack during the extended period will approach half mill lion cases.
 FWS officials said observations will continue during the extended season to determine whether or not further extension will be made.
 Late seeded streams must be guaranteed enough escapement to permit proper seeding and conse- quent good run during the 1851 pink salmon season.
 Fourteen representatives of the fishing industry in Southeast AL aska met with FWS officials here yesterday to present their argu- ment in favor of an extended sea- son.

Dix

DEAR MISS DIX: Why. oh
why. do 50 many women come
unlimited into our houses and
sit for hours a. time just talk
ing twaddle? One OF my neigh
bors comes In as early as .
o'clock In the morning and
stays regularly until / O'Clock
Some days she doesn't so home
until after 5. I am so fed up
with her that I am almost al
the point OF committing murder.
Ihave worked hard all Of my
life and reared q family. and
there are times when ! just
want to be alone. Maybe these
women who can't bear to be by
themselves for q minute are
lonesome. but ! have work to do
and. anyway. ! am no enter
tainment committee. I've gotten
TO the point where I can't take
company any more.
For PHYS sake tell me what
can do about It,
WORRIED NEIGHBOR.
Answer-Of all the pests in the
world there is none that Is a
greater afiliction than the chronic
visitor, yet none Is so common and
none so hard to get rid Of. Com
pared to the woman who virtually
camps in your house and who Is
always underfoot. an influx OF rats
or fieas or the itch or flu is a
pleasing diversion.
Just how any one gets TO be one
of these pests is more or less Of q
mystery, because at first sight the
chronic visitor seems a harmless
creature who will attend to her
business and let you attend TO
yours. 1t is only after she has
settled down on you and pre-
empted your best chair and start
ed on her monologue that you
realize that you are enslaved for
life.
For the self-invited guest has
no mercy. 1t does not matter to
her that you've got your house
keeping to do, your groceries to
buy. the baby to bathe. dress and
feed, the children to get of to
school. Or that you want to read
a new book. go to see good movie
or take a ride. She just sits and
sits and sits and talks and talks
and talks, until nothing but the
grace of God keeps you from
choking her.
Why the chronic visitor doesn't
get a job. go in for a career or
even have twins if she really wants
something to occupy her time. no.
body knows. She just talks and
like the hero in the Bible, she Stays
her enemies with the jawbone of
an ass.
Maybe God can forgive the
woman with the visiting complex.
but her neighbors never do.
