Terts OF Presidents Talk and
Letter of Yesterday. Page A-3
as Mr.. Truman received the Or
ganization's Distinguished Guest
Medal.
The Presidents quick trip to the
Statler Hotel convention followed
his apology to the Marine Corps
last night for clubbing it Navy
police force" and declaring it's
propaganda" almost equal to
Stalin's.
Shortly after his appearance at
the Statler. Mr.. Truman told his
weekly news conference that he
considered the Marine incident
closed.
Asked How He Feels.
At the outset of the conference,
a reporter in a joking reference to
today's developments, asked the
President, How do you feel this
morning?"
The President expressed some
surprise at the question and an
swered that he feels all right.
The reporter responded that he
thought maybe the President felt
better now.
Mr.. Truman retorted quickly
that he always feels good, added
that he was physically fit and
chuckled that anybody doubling
this can come and take a try.
Letter Started Controversy.
The Presidents original critical
remarks about the Marines were
contained in a letter to Repre-
sentative McDonough, Republican,
Of California, who had written Mr..
Truman asking for representation
for the corps in the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff.
The apology came after a storm
Of criticism from all over the
country and from Marines fighting
in Korea.
The President went before the
convention this morning at time
when many of the delegates were
unaware of his intention to visit
them. The first inkling that many
had Of Mr.. Truman's presence was
when he walked into the hall in
company of Gen. Clifton B. Gates,
commandant of Marines, and Clay
Nixon, head of the Marine Corps
Leagus.
In note of warning just before
Mr.. Truman's arrival, Mr.. Nixon
had referred indirectly to the criti-
cism the Presidents letter had
evoked and said that incident
was ended.
Warns of "Wise- Cracks"
At the same time he said that
in the ensuing proceeding-which
he did not describe-"an wise
cracking or smart talking will not
be tolerated"
Gen. Gates introduced the Presi-
dent, expressed the gratitude of
the Marines at the honor being
paid them. and added signifi-
cantly:
I'VE in the Marine Corps ad-
mire courage; the people of the
United States admire courage
especially personal courage"
At the outset, the President
quipped that Il am happy to be
with you. You succeeded in en-
ticing me- over here" and drew
another burst of applause.
Indirectly Refers to Furore.
In honey fashion, Mr.. Truman
indirectly referred to the furore
he had caused and said that some
times incidents occur that zap
pear to be almost the end of the
world when they happen, but
that they turn out all right.
Then he told of his striving for
five years to promote peace and
added that this seemed to be on
the way until June rs when the
Korean war started.
All that the United States could
do in that situation, he said, was

NEW HR 331lFIood Red BANS FISHERY River folding CONTROL HERE Steady, Report
First Slow Drop Looked for Today 90,OO0 Driv-
 en from Homes

WINNIPEG, Man, May l8-tR- Winnipeg's flood-weary residents hopefully looked today for the first slow drop in the Red Rivers muddy waters that have driven 90,000 per- sons from their homes in the last three weeks.
 The peak of Manitoba's worst flood in more than a century held steady at BOP feet, unchanged for more than 30 hours. One provin- cial official predicted the waters should begin to subside soon.
 Flood control officials continued to keep weary wary eye on the areas weakening, restrained dikes. They emphasized the surging Red and it's tributary Assiniboine and the Seine rivers still could break through and bring new disas- ter to the water-logged Greater Winnipeg area.
 The forecast that gradual drop was in sight came from D. M. Stephens, Manitoba's Deputy Minis ter of Resources.

AIR FLYING TO ALASKA
 IN DISPUTE
Effort Is Made 10 ForestaII Workers Coming With-
 out Jobs in Sight

SEATTLE, May 18--R-A dispute broke into the open today between Seattle non-scheduled airlines fly ing to Alaska and some travel agencies.
 Amos Heacock, president of Air Transport Associates. Inc, and also president of the Independent Air Carriers Conference of America, placed warning in the help wanted classified advertising section of the Post -Intelligencer.
 Don't spend your last dollar to fly to Alaska for a job before you investigate" the ad said. Consult your local union or write the Ter ritorial Government Employment Service in Anchorage first. Pub lished as a public service by Air Transport Associates, Inc. ="
 Heacock said a few travel agencies started the war.
 These agencies. he said, began carrying out threats to bring in aircraft from Los Angeles, New York and Miami to haul construction men to Alaska instead of patronizing Seattle-based non-scheduled air. lines. He said the reason was be- cause the non-scheds recently re- fused to boost flight ticket com- missions from 10 to 20 percent.
 Heacock said his company, with Golden North, Arnold Air Service and Trans-Ocean Airlines, have de- manded Civil Aeronautics Board in- vestigation of practices of the travel agencies and the out-of-town air carriers concerning solicitation of job-seekers.
 "The CAB has been informed of this situation but so far it has ac- complished nothing" Heacock said. Tt .has an investigator named Queens here, but the CAB seems to be more interested in the frequency and regularity with which we are operating than it is in protecting the public"
 The Post-Intelligencer said it contacted a man who said he is Queens, he refused to be quoted. questioned the reporters right to take notes, and the interview was terminated.

HAYNES ROAD TO
 BE CLEAR MAY B

Despite all-out efforts of Cana dian road engineers to clear the 160-mile Haines Cutoff for through traffic, the important arterial will not be ready for normal t'affic until about May 23, the Alaska Road Commission said today.
 Brigadier Allan Connolly, in charge of the Alcan Highway in Canada. pressed efforts to get the road open by May Is, but heavy snow and mud slides a few miles inside the British Columbia border from the international boundary prevented their doing so.
 Light traffic has gone through with assistance from maintenance crews, but trucks are forbidden to make the journey until the date set. It is believed that by mid-week the highway will be dry and clear enough for any amount of traffic to make the trip successfully.

The Washington Merry Go Round

 VASHINGTON-One of the most carefully guarded secrets of the war was the fact that Japan was floating balloons across the Pacific Ocean to Oregon. Washington and even as far east as Illinois and Texas.
 U. s. censors gave strict orders to suppress all news of these ball. looms; and even when an Oregon family climbed into a tree to ex- anime balloon and was blown to bits, censors suppressed the infor- nation.
 Reason for the strict censorship was that American commanders didn't want the Japs to know how successful their balloon campaign was. If the Japs realized their balloons were getting across, it was believed they would launch many more thousands.
 After the war ended, cross-exam- ination of the Jap military revealed that 6O,000 of these balloons had been launched from the Kurile Is- lands and Formosa They crossed the Pacific at an altitude of about 17,O00 feet at speed of over 100

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May IT, I have just returned from Bethel, Alaska, tiny native village at the mouth of the Kuskokwim river where the strange case of Joe Ma shoalook. union representative of HOO native cannery workers, was unfolded.
 It is a story that has implications of the far reaching hand of Moscow behind it and hints strongly at des- perate efforts of Harry Bridges and the Longeshoremen's Union to make last stand in Alaska.

ESKIMO WILL SHAY SOUTH FOR CONTRACT
Joe Admits Bad Mistake in Signing with AFU-
 Ifs All a "PIot'

SEATTLE, May 18@R-Joe Na- shoalook says he doesn't intend to go back to Alaska to do the nego- tiating for the Eskimo cannery workers.
 T don't plan to go to Alaska unti a contract is signed" he declared at a news conference here late yes terday. Instead I have asked two leaders of Local 46 to come here for negotiations and for clarification oi the situation"
 Joe, of Unalakleet, is executive secretary of Local 46 of the Inter- national Fishermen and Allied Workers of America QFAWA).
 He is caught in tug-of-war here between two CIO unions in their sparring for strength in Alaska. One is IFAWA. The other is the Alaska Fishermen's Union, which is taking a referendum on whether to withdraw from IFAWA.
 Another wire for Joe to come home to negotiate was reported to- day. The office of Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, said it had been ad- vised from Alaska that Don Hunter, of the Local 46 advisory council, had sent the wire from Bethel, in care of the IFAWA office here.
 Joe, after his arrival at the IFAWA office this morning, said he had not received the wire.
 Joe has been in the states since he came for the IFAWA convention in January.
 His news conference was held yes terday in the IFAWA office. It was called by Joseph Jurich. Interna- tional President of IFAWA. and William Gettings, regional head ot the CIO Longshoremen's Union with which Local 46 voted last sum- mer to affiliate.
 Jurich, Gettings and several other CIO union members were present during the interview.
 Just a Plot"
 Gettings insisted mo pressure had been brought on the small, be- spectacled Eskimo to remain in the IFAWA-Longshoremen's camp in the negotiations squabble.
 Gettings charged the whole fuss over Joe's continued presence at IFAWA headquarters lis just a plot by the Salmon Industry"
 Joe acknowledged that he had signed an agreement last week to carry on negotiations through the Alaska Fishermen's Union (AFU)- But he insisted he thought 1t was only an agreement that AFU would pitch in and help us." He said It wasn't until after he returned to IFAWA headquarters that T found they wanted to break me away from here (from IFAWA)."
 He said it had lawyers words and I didn't understand it al;' that he never meant to deviate from his utilization with IFAWA and from joint action with the Longshore- mems Union.
 Oscar Anderson, secretary o1 AFU, challenged Joe's statement to- day. He said there was no doubt about the Eskimo's quoted intention of aligning with AFU.
 Bad Mistake"
 Joe commented: T made a bad mistake in signing without consult ing my membership"
 Jurich said the demands of Local 46 are for the same pay and hour provisions that nonresident work CTS get in the canneries; with over time, preseason, post-season and other work to be paid for above the basic guarantee for the season.
 Getting declared the demands of all unions in the IFAWA-Long- shoremen's bloc will be negotiated parallel; that none will be signed until agreements are lined up by all. He said that includes the Long shoremen's controversial new Local
