TOKYO ROSE C0Nv I(TED ! OF TREASON
Jury D eIib crates Four Days Before Arriving al Verdict of Guilty

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3O.--tR Stony faced. Iva Toguri D'Aquino heard herself convicted of treason last night-for telling American troops their ships had been sunk in Leyte Gulf and they were "or- phans of the Pacific"
 A somewhat reluctant Federal Court jury of six men and six wo- men brought in the verdict after four days, deliberation. A surpris- ed "Ohl" of apparent disappoint- Ement, swept the courtroom. . Iva-Los Angeles born and edu- cated, remained as stoic as she had during the 12-week trial. Head bowed, she said nothing and there were no tears. Later she told her attorney T can't understand it." An appeal is planned.
 October was set for sentencing The minimum sentence would be five years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine; the maximum-death But the government did not ask the death penalty.
 Foreman vvlnl Mann said the jurors would have liked to acquit the 35-year-old woman known to CTS as Tokyo Rose, but i've did the only thing we thought possible under the judges instructions. Actually, she was convicted on only one of the eight counts ir, the indictment. That one related to her broadcast from radio Tokyo in October, 1944, about the Leyte Gulf battle. E
 Kenkichi Oki, an official of ra- dio Tokyo, testified the defendant said: Now you fellows have lost all your ships. You are really or- phans of the Pacific. How do you think you are, going to get home }.A." s
 That, the jury decided, was suf- ficiently damaging to American morale to constitute treason.

 The Premier said he was leaving for Ottawa at the weekend and intimated he might have more to say on Senator Magnuson's invi- tations after the cabinet meeting today.
 The Pacific Great Eastern Rail- way has frequently been mentioned as southern link in rail line joining the US. Pacific Northwest with Fairbanks. The railway now extends from Squamish, BAT miles to Quesnel and is being pushed 83 miles from Quesnel to Prince George.
 Provincial plans call for the line to be extended ultimately from Prince George into the. Peace river country. ssT
 The American House of Repre- sentatiyes has already passed a bill authorizing the President to order a survey of railroad to Alaska as a defense move.
 The President is also empowered to negotiate with the Federal gov ernment for a link between Prince George and Alaska.

SEATTLE. Sept. 3O.-IR-Alaska Lions would like to borrow few snakes, please. They haven't any handy because it's too cold up there for the cold-blooded reptiles.
 Fred R. Geeslin, President of the Mt. Edgecumbe Lions Club and Assistant Superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, wrote the Seattle Park Board asking for the lean of some snakes. He figured Alaska curiosity seekers might pay money to see them, and the money could be given to community pro- jects.
 Zoo officials, however, said that their best snakes, recent recruits from India, are not yet acclimated to Seattle--and trip to the north- land would throw them completely off.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

icopyrignt ls4s. by Bell Syndicate. Incl WAsHINGToN = One factor which has made the steel dispute SO difficult is that both sides hands have been semi-tied by other for ces.
 Tier of Phil Murray's Hands Is- John L. Lewis. Since Lewis, an old rival and bitter enemy of Murray, got welfare fund from the coal operators under which the miners pay nothing, Murray cannot require his union to contribute to pensions without losing part of his member ship.
 Tiers of U. s. SteePs Hands Are Its banks and directors. The men who control the big steel compan- ies, particularly U. s. Steel, are J. P. Morgan together with group of industrialists and insurance men who do not want pension pattern set for their industries. If the steel industry pays pensions without any contribution from labor, it will set standard for almost every other industry in the country.

TRUMAN PREDICTS
 PARTY VICTORIES
 NEXT ELECTION!
(Ey associated Press)

President Truman made one of his extemporaneous. speeches last night in Kansas City
 The President covered many topics in the address, He said his party would win in 1850 and 1852. The national income could be raised to 300-billion dollars, the country needs a real honest free press, and he hinted that Vice-President Barkley might be getting married soon.
 But perhaps the most important part of MT. Truman's address was the indication that he might try to keep Congress in session until it passes all of the administrations fair deal program. And, failing that, to make this program an issue in the next two election campaigns.

They estimated it would reduce fish purchases on the coast by some 6.00o,0O0 pounds year. '' The Army advised Rep. Mack tR- Wash) and Senator Magnuson tD- Wash) that the packers estimate was too high.

 A government mediator said
 today that the chances of pre-
 venting steel strike at mid-
 night are becoming "gloomier
 and gloomier."
 For all practical purposes"
 said Mediator William N. Mar
 golis, the strike is now on.s
 As steel plants were shut
 ting down everywhere and
 workers walking out, Margolis :.
 had only this hope:
 There is chance of a mir
 acle. of course. that the strike
 may not come off"
 PITTSBURGH. sept. 30-lR- Big steel and the CIO got together with Federal Mediators today in last ditch try to slave off nationwide steel strike at midnight.
 But even as they met. the news was not good.
 From coast to coast. and from the Gulf to the border, the gigantic steel industry banked its fires in readiness for the strike. And thous- ands of Philip Murray's United Steel Workers jumped the gun in wildcat walkputs.
 William N. Margolis. assistant director of the Federal Mediation and Ccnciliat,on Service. and Peter seitz its general counsel. met with the disputa1ts.
 { Surprisingly, there was an air of good humor.
 Nobody mentioned in public the point at issue: Should the union help pay for it's insurance and pensions?
 But Murray joked with reporters and he grinned as he asked Mar golis:
 "Is the enemy here yet?" ASS T V W A@ASt AsA4@A&AAe 2 & ><@s
 A mediator has no power other than the power of suggestion. Some- times he can hit on an idea that is acceptable to both sides. But neither the union nor the conn, ,panies needs to pay any attention to what he says.
 As production dropped. as picket ing started, the two sides still seemed far apart.
 For example. after last nights meeting with US. Steel, Murray had only this to@say:
 T wouldn't even comment about hope at this time"
 BLEAK PICTURE
 That's how bleak the picture is
 One small firm Portsmouth tOhio) Steel Corporation has given in to Murray Unofficially it's the l4th largest steel producer in the nation. But 1t employs only 4,O0O of the 6O0.0OO unionists.
 Main stockholders of Portsmouth are Cyrus Eaton. Cleveland finan- cier, and a group of his associates. Henry Kaiser had an interest in the company but sold it last year.
 US. steei. the Ii5dustryts giant, hires 16o.0OO, atput one-third. Any agreement with US. Steel would undoubtedly set pattern for the rest of the steelmakers.
 A steelworker walkout would push the nations strike-idle past the million mark Some 480,OO0 coal miners have been idle nearly two weeks.

on the street with no jobs. This
kind of antics make the worker
suspicious. Practically every un-

among other things, "The prob

be tackled. Violent swings in 1T
are not a certain as death and

as the laws of'nature They are
man made and therefore can be
controlled by man."
This opinion is pretty much
the opinion of the average work

present predicament is man
made. He has very sound eco
nomic ideas for they have been
well sharpened in the last few
years. Contrary to the opinion
Of some, the average worker is
a good thinker, he is hard to
fool. Oud last national election
should indicate this.
All Union, particularly CIO,
have done a very good job in
keeping the worker abreast
with modern economics and
business methods. This time
they viii lnot be content to sit
and tWiddle their thumbs,
The worker doesn't think that
free enterprise means free to be
unemployed. He knows that we
can have an economy where all
can be employed, he has had a
taste of better living in the last
few years and is in no mood TO
see our country go into A tail
spin of almost total unemploy-
ment.
