COURT WILL RULE
 ON ALASKA SHlp

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 29-LRl-- "A Superior Court ruling is ex- pected within a week or ten days on whether restraining order brought by the Alaska Ship Lines, Inc, against two CIO and one in- dependent unions should be made final. H..

Plane looms Three Times
 Speed of Sound: 1889 MpK

LOS ANGELES, Dec. ,29---Lp'--Aa Air Force plane reportedly has flown 1889 miles an hour-three times the speed of sound.
 That's the new record of the Air Forces x-1 rocket plane, says the Los Angeles Times Aviation Editor, Marvin Miles.
 Quoting what he calls reliable informants," Miles today said the x-1 had reached speed of l9fJ miles an hour in the stratosphere over Edwards Ar Force Base r. Muroc Dry Lake.
 The speed was given him as Mach 3, he said, or three times as fast as sound Sonic velocity is 663 miles an hour between the attitudes of 35.000 and 100000 feet.
 Miles story did not say who was at the controls, but presumed 1t was Capt. Charles Yeager or per- haps Maj. Pete Everest. A year and half ago the Air Force announced that Yeager would try to fly the x-l up to 1700 miles an hour, the maximum speed for which it was originally designed. Everest, Miles said, has been testing the rocket powered craft.
 The needle-nosed, 3l-foot-long X-1 is dropped from the belly of a superfortress for its flights.

 10 Be Crowned Queen

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec. 2o-tR Maybe you just won't believe it, but football players were happy as snow larks today over forecast of way-down-bclow-zero weathes for their Monday game.
 It just wouldn't be the Ice Bowl game otherwise, explained the gr.d- ders of Ladd Air Force Base and the University of Alaska. The first an nual tilt was played last Jan. with the thermometer at 20 below
 The opposing coaches reported that men who didn't bother to turn out last fall when the weather was salny scrambled for suits when the mercury dropped and snow began to fly. Eighteen of the 90 Unlver- sity players are veterans of last years zero-zero tie with Ladd. Six of them had never played before.
 The Lathrop Trophy, put up for the winner, spent six months at Ladd and half year at the Uni versity after the inaugural game.
 Susan Williams, vivacious daugh- ter of Secretary of Alaska Lew M. Williams and Mrs. Williams of Ju- neau, has been elected Queen Of the Ice Bowl event and will be crowned between halves of the big game.
 Miss Williams is a student at the University of Alaska.

WEATHER
 BREAKS,
 NV AREA
.(By the Associated Press)

Flood -menaced Western Washing ton got a break from the weather man today. Despite a forecast oi occasional showers throughout the Puget Sound and coastal area, the sky-scanners dropped the word "The worst is over"
 None of the anticipated showers were expected to reach torrentiai proportions such as those which deluged the region the last two days. The thermometer also was ex- pected to undergo a gradual drop, sufficient to nait the rapid thaws in the mountain snow zone.
 The forecast was happy one for the regions residents.
 The post Christmas blast already has caused one death in Washing ton state, gorged nalf-dozen rivers to flood stage, temporarily marooned scores of motorists in mountain passes and iDconveni- enced hundreds of others.

Mysterious
 "Sorneihing
 Chased in Sky
Four PiIofs Unable to Catch Up-ResembIes Balloon
 or Neon Tubes, Report

HAMLET, NC, Dec. 29--tR-A mysterious object moving south westward through the sky had scores of Carolinians agog today.
 The osject, on which descriptions varied, was first spotted at Fayette- vile, about 50 miles northeast of Hamlet at about 4:50 pm. yester- day.
 It was sighted again over Hamlet at about 4:45 pm. and reports came from Greenwood, sc, today that the mysterious object passed westward over that city shortly after pm.
 Greenwood is about 180 miles southwest of Hamlet on direct line extending from Fayetteville).
 Scores of residents in all three cities reported sighting the object. And at Hamlet and Greenwood, it was chased for several minutes by four pilots.
 Hamlet observers said 1t resembled a balloon or blimp, and appeared to be about 20 or 30 feet in dame ter. At Fayetteville, one observer said it looked more like a vertical neon lighting tube.
 Ground observers all said that it d1ifted into the direction of the setting sun. But the four pilots who chased it at Hamlet and Green wood said they were unable to gain on it in their planes.
 Except for it's shape and the scores who witnessed it, the reports were reminiscent of the myriad tales of flying saucers current since the war.

} Russ Ships Lurk N e a r| Navy Workout.
Red Vessels al Virgin Isles on Eve of Mdneuvers-
 Take Long Way Round
By Associated Press

Three mysterious Russian ships have been reported in the Carib- bean area where the biggest U. s. peacetime maneuvers in history soon will be held. American au- thorities are keeping wary but automatically correct eye on the vessels.
 The three ships are the Trepang, Permautr and Chiaka, reportedly enroute from the Baltic to Vladi- vostok by way of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
 Authorities said this brings to IS the number of similar type Sov- jet vessels that have crossed the Caribbean on their way to Rus sia's important Siberian seasport in the past two and a half years.
 Mhy Fish Grounds
 One informant expressed doubt that the Russian ships primary aim is military information. He suggested that Russia may be plan ming to take over fishing grounds that the Japanese used before the war {,
 But Naval men recalled that last year three Russian vessels ar rived at St. Thomas just few weeks before spring maneuvers were held.
 Naval authorities say Soviet ships have right to put in at St. Thom as, but point out that the Carib- bean route is the long way around for vessel on the Europe -Vladi- vostok run
 The Russians themselves have volunteered no explanation.
 U. s. military planners are com pleting arrangements for combined services exercises involving some 80,000 men, in the Caribbean area due to held from January through mid-March.

COAST GROWTH CAN SAYS lECY. SAWYER
 SOLVE pR0BI EMS,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-tR-Se- cretary of Commierce Charles Saw yer believes that the cause of prob- lems on the Pacific Coast also will provide the answer to those diff faculties.
 Summarizing his September con- ferences in west coast cities in a report to Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman, Sawyer said that some of the areas current difficulty stems from the "tremen- dous population growth"
 But the same growth, he added, provides much of it's rich econ omic opportunity"
 Here" Sawyer explained, "are hundreds of thousands of new workers to process the products of the forests and farms and mines, together with the resources of wat CT and power with which to do it. And, here, too, is vast new mar ket for their output"
 A pin-point review of Sawyer $ report, based on meetings in San Diego. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, included these items
 Washington and oregon are hav- ing much less difficulty than Cal ifornia in absorbing the influx of new workers.
 Dollar shortages in the Orient and Latin America have caused a lag in fruit and lumber exports to those countries which foreign aid programs have not offset.

VASHINGTON - Toward the end of the war, President Roosevelt called in Juan Trippe, apple-cheek- ed President of Pan American World Airways, and suggested that his airline start chain of hotels around the world.
 Shortage of dollars was sure to be one of the great economic CUTS es of the world after the war, FDR warned, and one way to spread dollars abroad was through the tourist trade However, good hotels were necessary for the tourists which was why Roosevelt urged Pan American Airways to go into the hotel business.
 As a result, Pan Am is building a chain of modern hotels-or at least trying to build them-in var ious parts of the world. However, their biggest handicap, believe t or not, is the Marshall Plan.
 In Latin America, where the Marshall Plan does not operate the hotel program is going well. But in Turkey, a country blessed with lot of Marshall Plan money, the ECA has actually helped to stymie American enterprise.
 What happened was that Pan American, after lengthy negotia-
