Last Of Evacuees
 Leaving Shanghai
tBY Fred Hampson)

SHANGHAI, (F) - The escape gate from communist threatened Shanghai began closing slowly yesterday.
 For foreigners. the last ships were preparing to get under way.
 For the Chinese, land routes were coming under Red troop domination.
 The American liner President Wilson, likely to be the last liner to call here for some time, sailed down the Whangpoo yesterday af- ternoon. Aboard were 300 evacu- ees, l50 of them American.
 Those Americans who elected to stay in Shanghai-some 1,5O0 of them-are now here, come what may.
 One small U. S. navy craft dur ing the afternoon took few straggler refugees down the river to the hospital ship Refuge. Navy sources hinted that may be the last boat out.
 Big naval craft moored down the river, out of range of com munist shore guns, may depart to- day, one naval officer said.
 The approaching communis S appeared to be at least 30 or 40 miles away in midafternoon, al- though they took SoochoW (Wuh- sien, about 50 miles west of Shanghai, early Wednesday. Their advance may be slowed down be- cause they still have not sufficient

Truman Believes Russians Acting In Good Faith

WASHINGTON, R)-President Truman said yesterday he believes the Russians are acting in good faith in their new moves toward lifting of the Berlin blockade.
 The President told a news con- ference that if he didn't think the Russian feelers were advanced in good faith, the United States would not be continuing conversa- tions on the matter.
 These conversations have now reached the stage of final decision with Russia controlling the next move.
 The Soviets were expected to reply soon to the questions raised by the western powers on whether their only condition for ending the blockade is western agreement to a meeting of the council of foreign ministers.

Halibut Fleet Will Refuse To Pay Per-Man Tax

KETCHIKAN, (P)-Members of the Seattle fishing vessel owners association, who control the bulk of the nonresident fleet now de- parting for the North Pacific hal ibut banks, are going to fish and cut payment.
 They indicated today they'll re- fuse to pay the new $50 per man nonresident fiSherman's license enacted by the recent Alaska leg islature.
 Thor Henrickson of Ketchikan, local agent for the vessel owners, said the plan is to refuse to pay the tax when the demand is made and to make a test court case of it.
 The law requires the buyer of fish to deal only with licensed crews, so the showdown is ex- pected within two weeks when the first halibut begin to arrive. E.,
 Henrlcksen said the previous li- cense of $25 on non-residents did not include halibut fishermen. Visiting owners contend Alaska has no jurisdiction over the fleet, which makes its catch outside the three-mile limit.
 Merchants here said they feared the license would force many boats to sell their catch at Prince Rupert, B. C., or Seattle.

 Then the skipper and owner, Magne Uke) Eriksen of Seattle was found dead in the engine room. Death was attributed to over exertion in attempting to get the motors running.

Taft-Hartley Law Test Of Loyalty

WASHINGTON, R)-President Truman said yesterday Democrat ic votes in Congress on Taft-Hart- ley repeal will be test of party loyalty.
 He put actions of the lawmakers on other Democratic platform measures in much the same class.
 Thus Mir. Truman indicated that the Senators and Representa- lives who fail to go along with striking out the two-year old labor law and adhering to other plat form pledges will have little to say about who gets federal jobs. The President left wide-open the question of whether the law makers who failed to back the party candidates in last falls cleo ton will have any voice in patron

 WA SH INGTON, (P) - Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, health commission CT for Alaska, told a Senate com mittee yesterday the Territory needs money for 174 health facili- ties that would cost S30,178,OO0.

 Alaska and it's communities would be permitted to apply to the federal works agency for funds to carry out their programs.

 Washington diplomats said to- day plenty of snags still lie in the path of east-west agreement on the thorny German issue.
 Observers said, despite hope for an early end of the Berlin block ade, statements by secretary of state Dean Acheson and other top officials indicate Russia must make radical policy changes be- fore any agreement can be reach ed.
 The talks held to date by Amer ican ambassador Philip C. Jessup and deputy Soviet foreign minister Jakob Malik are reported to have dealt only with the blockade and arranging a foreign ministers meeting-but not with what the four powers might accomplish in such talks.
 Acheson, in a New York speech last night, pledged that the United Continued on Page EighD
