 RESULTING IN
 LEGAL BATTLE

HONOLULU, Ag. 29.-tR- The first round in the legal battle on Hawaiis dock seizure law came to decision today. At the same time new negotiation effort in the 121-day CIO longshore strike was being arranged.
 U. s. District Judges J. Grant Mclaughlin and Delbert E. Metzger were to rule whether to halt tenn porarily the territory's stevedoring operations. Government dock work was authorized by the seizure law.
 The striking International Long shoremens and Warehousemen' S Union contended the law was un- constitutional The government ar gued the law protected the public welfare and said the unions chal- lenge should have been through territorial, not federal. courts.
 Prospects for settling the strike through any renewed union-em- ployer talks did not appear bright.

DISCOVERY OF Z UNMAppED PEAKS
 REPORTED MADE
Bradford Washburn Makes Announeement-Propos-
 es Crosson as Name

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Ang. 29. -lR-B Bradford Washburn, leader of the 1947 expedition which made the first scientific ascent" of Mt. Mc- Kinley, has announced the discov- cry of two unnamed, unmapped and unclimbed peaks in the Mount Mo- Kinley area.
 He suggested that one of them be named after Joe Crosson, we'll known Alaska bush pilot who died June 21 in Seattle after a heart attack
 Washburn, director of the Boston Science Museum, has been con- ducting work here for the Office of Naval Research on loan from the museum. He has been doing ex- tensive survey work in the area surrounding Mount Mckinley.
 He has written the Board Of Geographical Names in Washing ton, D. C., recommending that the higher of the two peaks be called Mount Crosson. The peaks, be- tween Mount Mckinley and Mount Foraker, are 12,78O feet and 12,50O feet in altitude.
 : Crosson was one of the first widely known Alaska bush pilots who flew mercy missions to widely scattered and isolated spots in the northern territory. In 1885 he flew the bodies of Will Rogers and Wiley Post from Point Barrow after they were killed in the crash of Posts plane.
 Early in his flying career he was associated with Ben Eielson, "The Father of Alaskan Aviation" and in 1880 he helped locate Eielson's plane and body when the latter be- came lost on a Siberian flight.
 In 1927 he was a pilot with the Wilkins Arctic Expedition and went with Wilkins to the Antarctic. He was one of the first airmen to cross the treacherous Endicott Mountain range on a flight to Point Barrow
 For 10 years he was Alaska Di- vision manager for Pan American Airways, resigning from the line in 1914 to move to Seattle and be- come manager of the Northwest Air Service at Boeing Field.
