his country" were among his con-
slant qualities.
Gathered to pay their final re-
spect to the marshal were friends

Of the Democratic party with whom

years, the lawyers who had known
him we'll, his business associates

the lodges to which he belonged.
Flowers banked the church yes
tibule from floor to ceiling.

STATEHOOD
FOR ALASKA
BE RUIN0U5
Senator Butler Expresses
Views in Minority Report
Change Is Proposed

WASHINGTON, July IA - tR -
Senator Butler (R-Nebr) told the
Senate today statehood for Alaska
at this time might well spell finan-
cial ruin" for the territory.
The Senate Insular Committee, OF
which Butler is member, has re-
commended that the Senate pass
bills to grant statehood to Alaska
and Hawaii. Both measures have
been passed by the House.
Butler expressed his views on
Alaska in a committee minority re-
port. He also dissented yesterday
when the committee filed its ma
jority report on Hawaii statehood.
Instead of granting Alaska state
hood, Butler advocated the terri
tory be permitted to adopt its own
constitution and elect its own gov
ernor and other administrative off
Gals.
There is no reason Why the gov
ernor should be selected by Wash
ington or why Alaskans should have
to come to Washington every time
they want some change in their
basic law" he said.
Butler contended Alaska is I'M
able to assume the financial bur-
dens incident to statehood; that its
sparse population may decrease
after government military activities
there cease, and that as state
Alaska would lose many benefits it
now has as a territory.
Fear of heavy state taxes under
statehood he said, would prevent
establishment of new industries in
Alaska.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

copyrishk 1870. py Bell Syndicate. IncJ
WASHINGTON-There was much
more than meets the eye behind
the rather cool letters exchanged
between President Truman and
Civil Aeronautics Chairman Joe
O'Connell last week.
In the background were not only
two curt and unfriendly notes,
but the frantic lobbying of three
giant airlines for the most lucra-
tive air routes in the world. There
was also some clever wire-pulling
by members of the palace guard
in favor of two of the airlines,
Pan American Anyways and Amer
lean Overseas Airlines, while on
the other side was a $4,000 fee
paid to an ex-palace guardsman,
Clark Clifford, by Howard Hughes
of Trans World Airline. In the
end, Hughes lost his $4,000.
O'Connell's resignation goes back
to the fact that, for months, the
CAB has been debating the ex-
tremely complicated question Of
whether Pan American should be
allowed to merge with, the Amer
lean Overseas. Since the U. S.
Government largely subsidies the
big airlines, CAB has final author
ity on such mergers and can be
reversed only by the President him
self.
During these months OF study,
it was disclosed that wherever Pan
American had received a monopoly
route, the efficiency of its service
dropped.
Pan American, incidentally, is

National Guard, Armed .
Forces Reserves May Get
Call Soon for Active Duty
BY ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, July IA - R -
A decision on whether to call the
National Guard and Armed Forces
Reserves to active duty may be
reached soon after the return to-
morrow of two members of the Joint
Chiefs from the Far East.
An informed official said today
the Defense Department is awaiting
their return before deciding finally
on whether to recommend those
steps to the White House.
The Department apparently has
advised the White House that such
action may be necessary, but has
not forwarded definite recon-
mendation.
General j. Lawton Collins, Army
Chief of Staff, and General Hoyt
Vandenberg, the Air Force chief,
are due in Washington tomorrow.
They have been in Tokyo comforting
with Gen. Douglas Macarthur on
his needs.
With them they presumably will
bring the latest picture of the Ko-
rean war, including whatever fresh
requests Macarthur may have
made.
While Collins and Vandenberg
have been away, the strategy-mak-
ing Joint Chiefs of Staff have been
operating with only two members,
Gen. Omar Bradley, the chairman,
and Admiral Forrest Sherman, the
Chief of Naval Operations.

FISHERY
UNION FILES SUIT
ON ILLEGAL PACT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July IA
R-The intra-CIO salmon cannery
union fight has shifted to Federal
court here.
Joe Nashoalook and the Inter
national Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's Union filed for an in
junction to nullify the contract be-
tween the Alaska Salmon Industry
and the faction of the Bristol Bay
Cannery Workers Local 46 which
has a new charter direct from the
national CLIO. Local 46 is a union
of Eskimo workers.
Nashoalook is the controversial
leader of the local faction which
remains affiliated with the Inter
national Fishermen and Allied
Workers of America GFAWA)
which recently merged with the
CLIO longshoremens union.
The suit also names the Alaska
Fishermen's Union and Oscar An
derson, its secretary treasurer. 1t
charges the AFU with conspiring in
an attempt at breaking" the
Nashoalook- Local 46.
The AFU also is affiliated with
IFAWA (Which now is merged with
the Harry Bridges-led longshore-
mems union. 1t is conducting a
referendum on whether to disaffil-
late from IFAWA-ILWU.
The IFAWA-ILWU seeks a court
order to restrain the defendants
from:
l. Giving effect to IAN illegal
agreement" signed by represent
atives of the Alaska Salmon In
dustry.
2. From representing that Nash
oalook is not the duly authorized
representative of Local 46, from
representing that he is not author
lied to sign an agreement with
the Alaska Salmon Industry, and
from representing that he is not
authorized to cash checks drawn
on Local as funds.
Named as defendants we're Oscar
Anderson, secretary treasurer of the
kFU, Jim Downey of Dillingham;
who led the fight against Nashoa-
looks Seattle negotiations; Agnes
Schlosser, Donald Hunter, Marion
Sours, George Lockwood and three
John Does.
Some are members OF the Local
46 advisory council, which attempted
to recall Nashoalook from Seattle
The council represents four Bristol
Bay groups.
The complaint commended the
AFU financed an illegal conspiracy
to assist the Alaska Salmon In
oustry in breaking Local 46 as a
trade union and to assist the ASH
in establishing company domin-
ated union that would DER auto
nomy to resident workers"
1t further stated purpose of the
conspiracy" was to "thwart the
established will of the members of
Local 46 and the IFAWA with re-
spect to the merger and by a cam
paign Of SANDER and false state
ments, to bring about a dissafilia-
ton from the international union"
1t was recalled that last May,
when Nashoalook was caught in the
middle of Seattle negotiations after
Local 46 voted to affiliate with the
longshoremen, the ILWU regional
head, Bill Gettings, declared A.F.U.
opposition to the merger was plot
against true union representation.
He repeated that accusation today.
