blowers objected today to nego-
tiating Hawaii's 81-day dock strike
with Harry Bridges in Washington.
They withheld final decision, how
ever.
1--WE don't want Bridges to be
the hero that settles this strike"
said a spokesman for seven struck
stevedore firms.
Senator Douglas O-IlD, in
washington, suggested that the
president of the striking CLIO In
ternational Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen'S Union try to
settle the wage dispute with a
management representative and
Federal conciliator.
Bridges agreed. But the employer
Spokesman said Bridges has never
taken part in negotiations here and
the dispute is too complex to be
settled fairly outside Hawaii.

(By Associated Press

A White House official says
that President Truman is squarely
behind an investigation of Wash
ington's so-called fiye-per- centers.
These are the men who peddle
their alleged influence to manu-
facturers seeking government con-
tracts.
The White Iiouse source says
that President Truman has told
Defense Secretary Louis johnson
and Army Secretary Gordon Gray
to go ahead with their inquiries
into the five percenters. Mr.. Tru-
man is said to have told johnson
and Gray to proceed regardless OF
who may be embarrassed by a
check of operations.
This source puts President Tru-
mans position in these words-both
somewhat familiar expressions:
Let the chips fall where they
may

In the afternoon session, Arthur

John Miller, Assistant Extension
Poultryman from the State college
discussed modern methods of bro

construction. The trend seems to
be toward larger houses on the

large enough to handle from 400

placed on labor saving equipment

considerable time in gathering

Gserious threat to our national security!
BY the end of July of this year we
will have lost almost one-third of the
physicians and dentists now serving
with our Armed Forces. Without an
increased inflow of such personnel, the
shortage will assume even more dam
gerous proportions by December Of
: this year.
These losses are due to normal expira-
ton of terms of service. The profess
sional men who are leaving the Armed
Forces during this critical period are
doing so because they have fulfilled
their duty obligations and have earned
the right to return to civilian practice.
Without sufficient requirements for
these losses, we cannot continue to pro-
vide adequate medical and dental care
for the almost 100000 service men
and women who are the backbone of our
nations defense.
