Tai Heavy FavOrite
In the third flight, Minoru Tai of
Seattle is the definite favorite. He
should easily be able to hit 1T. the
score agreed by fans as necessary
to take the top trophy. Stan Kari
komi and Kenny Oyama of Seattle
and MatSui of Spokane will be the
others who will bear watching.
If you want to pick EN- on the

Perhaps, IL should be the biggest

iwining May Don Spurs and Be A New "EuffaIo Bill"

Lieut.. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, chief of the Alaska Command, has long title-or handle" as some would say, Last night he announc- ed he was considering another ad- dition.
 "They might call me Buffalo Bill Twining,' he smiled.
 He explained that he had been invited to go on a buffalo hunt, or ganized to dispose of 50 old bulls in one of the Territory's herds in the Interior. Their presence in a herd slows herd migration to new feeding grounds, and they become a burden to themselves as well be- cause of age.
 The general didn't explain wheth- CT the hunt was to be on horse back, by dog-sled, airplane or by "shank's mare,' but that the Fish and Wildlife Service was organiz- ing a party to make the kill in some fashion.
 He didn't say if he had accepted the invitation, or if he had any spurs handy.

RUSS CAN'T RETURN SHIPS
 LENT BY U. S.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-tR- Russia told the United States yes- .erday she won't be able to re- turn two Borrowed ice breakers next Thursday, as promised, because hey are "inextricably caught" in m Arctic ice pack.
 The Soviets said, however, third lend-lease ice breaker will be handed over December l to US. Saval officials in Yokosuka, Japan.
 The State Department announced this shortly after Vladimir I. Bazy- kin, counselor of the Soviet En- bassy, was called in to discuss the .ong-deferred return of the US. vessels.
 After much prodding, the Soviets agreed last September 27 to release the icebreakers by December |, with delivery scheduled at Bremen haven, Germany.
 Just how and where two of the hips were caught in an Arctic ice floe was not divulged. The State Department said Zazykin merely reported that under present weather conditions the United States should not expect the miss ing ships before early next spring or summer.
 American officials are known to oe surprised at the Russian story secause the ice breakers are among the most modern afloat and were designed to blow through even the heaviest floes. They were lend eased to Russia in 1944 and 1945 shortly after they were built
 The United States has flatly re- fused to sell the vessels to Russia, presumably because of their war potential.
 Return of the ice breakers and 27 frigates, which the Soviets landed hack last week, were fin ally separated from the long-drawn out talks about settlement of Rus sia's lend-lease debt of S11,000,- jG0,000. These discussions still are ;talemated

 CHINESE BLOCKADE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30--tR- Secretary of State Acheson said to- day American ships enter the Chinese blockaded port of Shanghai at their own risk.
 He indirectly rebuked the Is- brandtsen Steamship Line for hav- ing sent it's vessels, two of which nave been shelled, into the area.
 Acheson also reported that this government has rejected all re- quests of the shipping line for American Naval convoy.
 He said it is not this govern ment's policy to convoy American shipping through the so-called blockade"
 At news conference, however, Acheson disclosed that he has sent strong new note to the Chinese Nationalist government protesting he shelling of the Isbrandtsen Lines Sir John Franklin Monday.
 The note possibly lays the basis 'or a financial claim by the line .gainst the Chinese Nationalist gov -rnment.
 OTHER POINTS DISCUSSED
 It was Acheson's first news con erence in two weeks and he cov- red variety of points including:
 l. The government and people )f the United States are thor oughly indignant over the inhu- nane treatment" by the Chinese Communists of two American serv- ce men who have been held by Communist authorities in the vicin- ty of Tsingtao since October, 1943. The men are Navy Chief Electric an William c. cmith and Master 3ergeant Elmer c. Bender.
 ?. The British government has ,romised to keep the United State informed of developments on pos ible recognition of the Chinese Communist regime but has not aid it has any plans for recogni- ion.
 3. The latest information from Consul General Angus Ward at Mukden is that he is working on he problem of paying off his staf.
 presumably the Chinese em- ployees-tut no word has been re- ,eived here of Chinese Communist arrangements for transportation of Ward and his group out of Mukden
 4. Most of the 30 nations which the United States asked to pro- test to the Communists against their detention of Ward are taking that action.
 5. Acheson ruled out any steps y this government on the question of possibly recognizing the new government of President Arnulfo Arias in Panama until the situation las been clarified.

 Tn the first years after the war, military men felt that the mass destruction characteristic of the weapon meant it would be useful cnly for strategic attack on cities. It would be too powerful for use against troops in the field.

It is mot a gram diose plan. just modest plan" Meanwhile there is an interim plan to take care of the situation if anything happens" before hous- ing is completed and more troops are moved in.

Company Frees Self of Union in Event NLRB
 Gives Adverse Ruling

SEATTLE, Nov. 30-tR-Employ- ment in the stewards department of the Alaska Steamship Company was in effect thrown open to all corners Tuesday.
 Since 1886 all employment of such. personnel has been through the hiring hall maintained here by the National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards, Congress of Industrial Organizations affiliate.
 The new policy was revealed at a National Labor Relations Board hearing by E A. Dobrin of Bogle' Hogle and Gates, counsel for the steamship company.
 His statemenet followed charge by J. A. Jenkins, counsel for NLRB General Counsel Robert E. Denham that the hiring agreement between the union and steamship operators is illegal under the Taft-Hartley act.
 "The Alaska Steamship Company is prepared to accept individuai applications for employment in the stewards department of its vessels and to give such applications bona fids consideration without reference to the preferential hiring provisions ot the agreement of December 4 1e48," he said.
 Dobrin said he was not conceo- ing that the contract is illegal as charged by Jenkins. The new policy vas adopted to protect the com pany in the event of an adverse decision by the National Labor Re- lations Board
 Union officials withheld com nent.
 Jenkins charge was made in ms opening statement at hearing on an NLRB complaint of unfair labor charges filed against the ClO union. Pacific Maritime Association, American Mail Line and Alaska Steamship Company. The hearing was scheduled to move from the Federal office building to the Feo- eral Court House today.

THOMAS THROWS SELF ON MERCY
 OF FEDERAL COURT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-tR- Rep. J. Parnell Thomas (R-ND withdrew his plea of not guilty to charges of payroll padding, and threw himself on the mercy of the court.
 The 54-year- -old legislator changed his plea to one of nolo contendere. That means he does not contest the governments charges.
 With this startling development, Judge Alexander M. Holtzoff dis missed charge against Miss Helen Campbell, former secretary to Thomas She was accused of con- spring with Thomas to defraud the government through padding of the lawmakers office pay roll.
 Holtzoff set December g for sen- tencing of Thomas.
 Thomas faces possible maxi mum sentence of 32 years in jail and $40,000 in fines.
 Pending the sentencing, Thomas vas allowed his continued freedom under his present bond of $1,000.
