Hawaii Strikers
 Ask Truman To End Dock Strike
By Leif Erickson,

HONOLULU .P.-Swtkiua CrD longshoremcn appealed to Pacsi- den. Truman today tD end Ha- wali's 84-day dock t.c-u5 "oa ifs merits"
 Their appeal echoed d Washing ton request by Senator Morse R. Orel, who told the Senate yes.er- day the strike may spread 10 the worlds major ports. He assailed Hawaii employers for rejecting arbitration.
 Morse added Harry Bridges testimony before the. Senate labor committee satisfied ne he was following the line of the fellow traveller" But he continued, the way to handle left wingers is to give them an opportunity to prove their case"
 The international longshore- mems and Warehousemen's union. which Bridges heads, asked MT. Truman to name a board of inqui- ry with authority to settle the par alyzing deadlock. Similar requests for Presidential board of arbi- tratiOn were made by the union and Morse June 27.
 Morse said he expects the Ha- Waiian legislature will pass strike rending measures that will threat en to spread the tie-up ito all ports of America" and possibly the ports of the world"
 This could happen, the former West Coast maritime arbitrator said, if the legislatures action causes longshoremen and water front workers on the Pacific Coast to refuse to handle shipments from Hawaii.

Sen. Taft Against Forcing Europe To Buy U. s. Goods

WASHINGTON, lP, - Senator Taft R.-Ohio) came out Saturday against a proposal to earmark about S1,5OO,OOO,OOO in European recovery funds to buy American farm Surpluses.
 Taft, who heads the Senate Re publican policy committee, told reporter he is opposed to the com mittee-approved amendment to the S3,778,OOO,OOO economic coop eration administration m oney bill.
 The amendment, sponsored by Senator Mcclellan D.-ArkD also would require the army to buy about S5OO,OOO,OOO in surplus farm products, freezing these and the ECA funds against being used for any other purposes.
 ECA administrator Paul Hoff- man has contended the rigid sur- plus buying requirement on his agency would hamstring opera tions and force foreign countries { otake cotton and other cOmmo- ditieS they may not want.
 Taft said he thought the amend ment is ''unWise."
 "I don't think we ought to be enacting farm relief program in the bill," Taft said.
 The Ohio Senator added, how ever, that he is likely to support in Senate debate on the measure two other amendments opposed by Hoffman. The Senate bill will re- sume discussion of the bill today. Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, said he hopes for a vote tomorrow.
 Taft said he may back an amendment sponsored by Senator McCarran D.-NevD which would tie up $5O,OOO,OOO in ECA funds for loans to Spain.

Big Gorilla Loses In Battle With Black Panther

SPOKANE, Wash. CP) - The cousin of Gargantua, a big, 300- pound gorilla, was whipped Fri day night in a raging tWo-hour battle with a black panther and finally killed by bullets from his trainers gun.
 The panther, ape and a 600- pound lion were being exhibited in separate compartments of a large cage in a travelling wild ani- nal show when the cat slipped under a gate into the gorilla's 6x8 foot section.
 Before a crowd of nearly 400, the beasts locked in a fight to the death while the lion roared con- tinuously in the adjoining com partment.
 The panther slashed, ripped and chewed as the ape struck sledgehammer blows with his massive arms. Attendants tried vainly to separate the crazed beasts. Finally trainer Ruby Smith shot and killed the gorilla. one of whose arms was nearyl severed at the shoulder.
 Not uitl meat was tossed to the cat could the apes carcass be pulled from the cage. Chloroform- soaked rags helped quiet the fren- zied survivor, which escaped with severe slashes about the head and

Secret Diary Caused Suspension Of Two Generals
(By Marvin L. Arrowsnlithl

WASHINGTON, P)-A secrc. diary figured prominently in the Senate's five percenter" probe Saturday with a hint it gave up data partly responsible for sus- pension of two top army procure ment officers.
 The bulky, Ioose-Ieaf book be- lOnged to James V. Hunt, one time army colonel named by a businessman as the one to whom he paid S1,000 for help in seeking a government contract.
 Senate investigators take d guardedly of the diary. But Sena- tor Hoey D.-N. e. indirectly ack- noWledged that it contained the names of the two suspended ma jor generals and that data from the diary's pages partly led to their suspensions.
 The two suspended army off cers are Maj. Gems. Herman Feld- man, the quartermaster general, and Alden H. Waitt, chief of the chemical corps. Army secretary Gordon Gray relieved them of duty temporarily, saying they had failed to exhibit judgment "ex- pected of persons in their posi- tions."
 What touched off the investiga- ton by Senator Hoye's Senate ex- penditures subcommittee was the disclosure by Paul Grindle, a Massachusetts manufacturer, that he had entered into a five percent contract with Hunt for govern ment business Hunt might turn up.

about, and hidden book shops, and
Chinatown, and a bar on Tele-

world but not to him until then.
you certainly got around" he
had said. For a kid from Walla
Walla you did all right"
Linda had. only laughed and
said mysteriously, II had dates"
Brian found himself not liking
that. despite himself, and it never
occurred to him to wonder why,
in any of the places, they never
did happen to run into any of the
old dates. But of course San Fran
cisco is a big place.
Nevertheless, he felt safer rent
ing a car on week ends and taking
her down San Mateo way and
into the Big Sur country below
Monterey Bay. And of course on
the white sands of Monterey Bay
they fell in love. Or it could have
been under a cypress at Carmel.
For that matter, it could have
been in that little alley cafe with
the red shutters, weeks before in
''the City" - the night they had
read the Personals column to-
gether. Linda loved the Personals
column of the newspaper. She said
it made her feel that San Fran
cisco was really no bigger than
Walla Walla.
1T DID not matter now where
they had fallen in love, because it
was over in the flash of a quarrel
on the very week of their wedding
to-be. Brian was not even sure
now how it had started precisely.
But he knew there was jealousy
in it, chiefly of all those vague and
doubtless attractive young men
Linda had known in the days be-
fore their meeting. He knew he
had spoken in quick anger, as a
man will do when he is very much
in love. But he knew, too, that
this unhappy quarrel had shown
Linda to be cold and her love not
too deep, else how could she have
stormed away - leaving him with
his ring in his stupidity open palm?
He paid for his drink in the bar
on Fisherman's Wharf and went
outside. Something drew him
around the corner and up the
street, although he had planned to
look at the fishing boats. Some
thing made him want coffee just
as he came abreast of the cafe
where he had first seen Linda. In
side the door he wondered if the
drink had hit him oddly - for
Linda sat there now. you might
as well sit down." she said, now

Friday to her now, he told him
self, and lowered into the chair
she had vacated. A newspaper
folded at the Personals column lay
by Linda's half-empty cup. 1t hit
him with a sharp pang how she
had liked the Personals column.
Then something caught his eye.
Please won't you come TO our

BRIAN was not sure how long he
sat there, but very suddenly he
was aware that it had been too
long. Then he jumped up and ran
several blocks toward the hill. and
back again toward the water
front. But there wasn't any Linda.
He took a cab to her apartment,
but the door was opened by a
strange woman who said that
Linda had moved to a hotel.
She did not know which hotel,
and so Brian spent the night going
from one to another and never
hitting the right one - and at
nine o'clock in the morning he
realized that he needed a shave
and a shower and a fresh shirt and
a shoe shine. He was never after
ward clear how or where he got
them all and made the Good
Neighbor Church by ten minutes
until ten. There stood Linda on
the steps in travelling suit and
with an airplane bag. :.
When she got out of his arms
she said, "If you didn't come l
was going back home - and that
would have been terrible, because
all those nice people are in there,
waiting. and l was just going to
sneak away and take the plane to
Walla Walla."
Brian looked wonderingly at the
church. "You mean - there're
really people in there waiting for
US to be married."
Linda nodded. Il put the notice
in the paper for five days, you see
- the morning of that day after
- after we quarreled. And then
somehow l didn't want to take it
out of the paper. There seemed
chance it could still happen, as
long as the paper said it would"

He felt wonderful suddenly, and a
long line of probably fictitious
young men dissolved into thin air.
Because now he knew that Linda
loved him alone.

picked up her travelling bag. The
