Fire Wrecks Navy
Research Lab

ASHIN GTON, up - Fire
wrecked a supply warehouse at
the closely guarded naval research
laboratory early today and for a
time threatened a nearby building
containing high explosives.
City firemen brought the flames
under control after about a half
hour. Police also went TO the
scene but were excluded by armed
marine guards.
The fire was confined to a two
story, brick, steel and concrete
building containing laborato y
supplies and equipment. Only
eight feet away, in the 50-aCre,
fenCed-in area, is a ballaSticS lab
oratory containing explosives.
A navy spokesman said only a
small amount of explosives were
in the adjoining building. How
ever, a man familiar with the
army installation said there were
enough that, if reached by flames
"the entire southeastern section
of Washington would have blown

Living Costs Drop

WASHINGTON, (P)-The cost
of living nosed slightly downward
during the month ended May IS.
The bureau of labor statistics
said today its index declined three
tenths of one per cent for the
month.
In mid-April the index had ad-
vanced slightly, one-tenth 0. one
per cent, over mid-March. Off
Gals said actually there had been
no really substantial change for
the past two months in the con-
sumers price index covering large
cities.
Fluctuations have been wider,
between the individual cities than
in the national average.
Prices of all major groups ex-
cept rent were a little lower than
the month ended April Is, the re-
port said. Fuels declined is per
cent, house furnishings Is per
cent and apparel O.6 per cent.
Retail food prices decreased OF

Strikers to Boycott
Soviet Zone

BERLIN, Up - West Berlin's
rail strikers, rebuffed by the Rus
sian appointed railway manage
ment in efforts to run an "emer-
gency service" into Berlin, urged
retalitory Soviet zone blockade
today.
The anti-communist union pre-
pared kilograms to be sent later
in the day to the West German
union headquarters at Frankfurt,
asking all German unionists to re-
fuse to handle freight destined for
East Germany.
The Berlin union styled its ac-
ton a retaliation. Earlier the rail
management had turned down the
unions offer to work trains run
on an emergency basis.
In Frankfurt, union headquar-
tiers declined comment on the sug-
gested Soviet zone until the for

Navy Hopes
To Cut Costs

SEATTLE, (P)-The navy eX-
poets to reduce costs sharply and
increase speed in unloading oil on
its annual Point Barrow supply
expedition.
Navy officials said today an
LIST will be used for the first time
this year in getting the oil ashore.
The LIST will carry the fuel di-
~rectly from the navy tanker to the
beach, where it will be pumped
into storage tanks.
Previously the navy has ferried
fuel ashore in drums on pontoon
lighters. Last year it took a week
to unload $4,000 drums. The navy
says it hopes TO do it in two days
this year at a saving of S250,000.
The 11-ship expedition is ex-
pected to sail from Seattle about
July 26. In all, it will unload
S45 900 tons of cargo at Barrow
and Barter Island.

shipments of government tonnage ito all Alaska and not just serving the most profitable ports-an essen tia for the progress and development of the Terri tory"
 Two thoughts are evoked by this situation. One that government agencies clearly should give all ship concerns serving Alaska equal opportunity to bid for this business in open competition IS to the national not merely local interest that government cargo be transported at the least possible cost But all shipping companies involved should have the same chance to reduce their rates to this minimum
 The other is that the introduction of this Port land competition into the Alaska shipping picture has complicated rather than simpifed the problem. The Alaska Steamship Companys reference to serving all Alaska and not just the most profitable ports sug- gests that The Seattle steamship lines operating to Alaska now reduced by adverse circumstances virtually to the one provided service for all the principal ports of Alaska all these years whether there was profitable business to be had not and at all seasons
 That is the kind of service the Territory must have. The disadvantage imposed upon concern that seeks to perform this function in competition With others that seek only to pick off the cream of the crop" must be apparent to all

FAIR-TRADE PRACTICES APPLY
 TO ALASKA, TOO

The recent announcement that Portland ship ping concern was hauling freight to Alaska much cheaper than the carge from Seattle caused some discussion in shipping circles The Seattle Times under the above caption, takes up the issue in the following editorial
 Seattle residents may well have been puzzled over recent announcement from the Interior Department over disparity of cost of shipping rail equipment to Alaska from this port and from Portland An officer of the Interior Departments Alaska branch had ex- plarled that Portland receiving the lions share of these shipments because the cost of moving locomotive from Seattle Whittier, Alaska, was s2- GOO more than from Portland
 Investigation of this situation in Seattle disclosed that the ship line operating from Portland had of- fered to absorb handling and "heavyift charges into its own operating costs thereby reducing the tariff charged the government for transporting it's cargo.
 When this became known, the Alaska Steamship Company promptly notified the management Of the Alaska Railroad that it would have met the tariff of the Portland company had we been given equal op- portunty to participate The Seattle company declared it proposed to keep in competitive position on all

TRUMAN ASKS AUTOGRAPH

President Truman is still getting a kick out of the mistake the poll sters, predicters and the newspap- els made in the last election. He particularly enjoyed the recent book by Morris Ernst, The People Know Best"-which dissects the mistakes of the press in the late campaign.

 Truman indicated he had read every word of the book and thoroughly enjoyed the way the press and predicters were taken apart.
